tasty's burgers and fries

real damn food!. i've been to fernandina/amelia island off and on for ten years, and noplace there has touched me like tasty's, which we finally got around to trying late sunday morning for lunch. tasty's is on the opposite end of the spectrum from fine dining, but as far as i can tell, it is the very home of real food in the fernandina area. i had the 1/2 pound double patty as a bacon cheddar burger, and mrs buddha had a spectacular ahi tuna burger. these were both as good as these things get. the fries were also the real deal. the fellow at the counter we ordered from was friendly and helpful, and our orders were delivered quickly as exactly as ordered. the menu also has hot dogs and other items you'd expect to find at a burger joint, as well as items such as sweet potato fries and the ahi burger mrs buddha enjoyed.

now you're not going to want to go to a burger joint for those special meals, and tasty's is no rival for salt, merge, or espana for that nice dinner out, but if you're looking for casual and reasonable, as well as simple but excellent food prepared expertly, tasty's is your man.

delicious!. omg yum! fun place, fantastic burgers! chocolate shake topped with whip cream....heavenly! we attempted to eat fries but the burger and shake were way to filling.... recommend burger and fries in one visit and the over the top shake another time.....

retro gas station definitely serves scrumptious food! best burgers in florida!!!

best burgers in the state!. awesome burgers in a great location - an old gas station. i had the half pounder and it was awesome. the shakes are killer.....the whole meal was decadent. very clean with a great and friendly staff. if your in the area-go!

cheeseburger w/ sweet potato fries. always delicious. i love this place.

what an awesome burger joint. the food is awesome and the sweet potato fries are to die for. cannot wait to eat here again!!!

inexpensive and yummy. we were headed towards ciao's italian place but the smell of these burgers was hard to pass up. an obvious local favorite we dined at the packed gas station now restaurant and so glad we did. would pass the chili fries next time but the burgers were hand made and great! we are staying at the hoyt house and may have to drop in for lunch tomorrow!

don't miss this little place. the food was excellent and the staff very friendly. the veggie burger was fabulous.

see my review at the beginning of the month? well its now the end of the month, and i have enjoyed five tasty burgers since then. i dont care if i have to park on the roof. each one as "tasty" as the last. ok so now an obsession of mine. in my top five of all time. you looked them up on urbanspoon and read the reviews just eat their already, ok!

been by a thousand times and parking was always a nightmare so i never stopped, rookie mistake.today i lucked out on a sunday at 2pm with parking so enough was enough. plus i have yet to find "the burger" to satisfy my fix. ordered a double cheese and chili cheese fries with jalapinos. i recommend the cheese on the side as they sog up the fries quick. the fries were great with chili seasoning and cheedar cheese sauce all over. the burger was all the way with tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles, and special sauce. they have the size of veggies down to just enough so not to overwhelm the burger or your mouth. the meat had a good crust and juicy hot from the flat top. the sauce was like a mix of ketcup, mayo, garlic, and chili powder which lent enough seasoning as not to cover the burger with ketcup or mustard. the seasoning on that steel will grow with time and only make them even better. the atmosphere is great, an old gas station with seating inside and out. great place for a great burger that is in my top five of all time.

fabulous. we ate here yesterday and loved it! the staff was very friendly and helpful. we mentioned it was our first time, they offered suggestions and checked on us a number of times to see how we liked every thing. i had the buffalo burger and natural fries, fabulous! my husband had the chilli burger and sweet potato fries, again, it was wonderful! we'd definitely go back and would highly recommend stopping by when you're in the fernandina beach area.

so yummy!! staff was friendly and you can't beat the burgers!! had they beet burger-amazing!! the old bay fries were delicious too!! can't wait to return!

very good. as a resident, when i tell people i've never been to tasty's they give me a disbelieving look. now i know why. excellent burger and just like i prefer them. i don't like the big thick burgers....the thin ones are my favorites. the seasoning on it was delicious. sweet potato fries that i only finished half of because the serving was so large. order was taken promptly and accurately. definitely will return.update: went yesterday (7/12/15) and still the best burger in town!  wish they more indoor seating though.

great staff and excellent food. we were in a hurry to get to a wedding nearby and needed something to eat fast. the staff were very kind and courteous. young people who were warm, friendly, and very polite. food was excellent, but the fries were exceptional. thank you from ormond beach

delicious food, subpar service. currently on vacation here on amelia island... and the food is good enough that we've eaten there 3x this week. the beef patties are similar to steak 'n shake style. the fries are the best i've ever eaten--way better than five guy's. the chili on the chili cheddar burger is homemade and delicious. turkey teriyaki burger was super tasty--i'd go as far as saying addictive. if you're looking for something fattening/comforting...the chili dusted cheddar fries hit the spot. the only disappointing part of the dining experience is the front counter help...the front of house staff seem to be high school students that are not familiar with the menu and are easily distracted by school friends coming in and out of the restaurant. just be sure to spell out exactly what you are wanting to order...next time i will probably point on the menu to exactly what i'm ordering. as expected with teen employees, their work ethic just hasn't developed but at the same time you have to admire the establishment for giving teens a chance to get some work experience.

yum!!! chili chedda' burger and sugga' butta' fries. delicious!!! the sugar butter fries had a sticky coating that was very tasty - with a hint of pecan. i'd definitely get it again!

slaw dog. great cheap, corner place. the hot dogs are super yummy, as are the fries. if you're looking for more local, try t-ray's down the street.

tastys is yummy!!!. had lunch there today... it was fantastic.... fresh meat, not frozen patties.... great flavor, friendly service... very kid friendly environment. burgers were great, fries were great... good portions for price. great milkshakes too...
