Cruisers Grill won the “Best Every Day Burger” award given by TravelHost Magazine. TravelHost is the number one visitor publication in the country boasting hundreds of city editions. TravelHost recently taste tested burgers across the First Coast and named Cruisers Grill the “Best Every Day Burger”.
“Cruisers has taken ordinary burger toppings and condiments and made the burger taste extraordinary,” stated Ann Meyer, owner of TravelHost First Coast. Cruisers takes pride in the simple and fresh ingredients that go into all of its menu items. The hundreds of burgers tasted were judged on first impression, toppings, meat, the first bite, as well as, atmosphere and the experience of the restaurant.
Cruisers Grill has been a local favorite since the doors to the original restaurant in Jacksonville Beach opened in 1996. Cruisers is a popular beach destination due to the laid-back atmosphere, the friendly staff and the deliciously simple menu. Purchased by Bobby Handmaker in 2007, two more Cruisers restaurants have opened on the First Coast. The secret to Cruisers’ ordinary, yet extraordinary burger is in the seasoning. The secret is kept by tight-lipped owner Bobby and a few trusted staff.
Cruisers Grill was founded in 1996. Bobby Handmaker, who purchased the concept in 2007, has opened two additional units, streamlined operations and has recently launched its franchise program. Cruisers was named “Best Burger” by Beaches Leader for the past seven years, “Best Burger” by Folio Weekly 2008-2010, “Best Burger” and “25 Things to Eat Before you Die” by Jacksonville Magazine and has won countless other awards from local publications.
