1. DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS
What could be more mouthwatering than a duo of Sugar Rush doughnuts? Take those fluffy rings of goodness, shove a thick, juicy burger patty in the center, then layer on gooey cheese and bacon. A little bit salty, a little bit sweet and altogether amazing!

2. FANCY AND FEISTY
If Scarlett O’Hara and John Wayne had a baby, it would cut its teeth on this delicious burger, with chichi Southern pimiento cheese and smoked tomato jam slathered over hearty beef and bacon.

3. MY BIG FAT GREEK BURGER
At Mediterranean Sandwich Company, the American classic goes Greek. A flavorful deep-fried homemade falafel patty and lettuce, tomatoes and onions are packed into a fresh pita pocket, ladled with creamy tzaziki sauce. Opa!

4. MARY HAD A LITTLE
Fairhope favorite Locals offers a unique build-your-own option. And when we say “unique, ” we’re talking bison, wild game, black bean veggie versions and more! But, the eatery also creates their own signature assemblages as well, including the surprisingly tasty Wade’s Lamb burger, with a 5.5-ounce patty of – you-guessed-it – lamb topped with Sweet Home Farm cheese and mint aioli stacked on fresh-baked focaccia.
