The hot dogs and sandwiches hail from New York and Chicago at this popular Commercial Boulevard lunch counter. Franks this good could hold their own in any big city: The Polish ($5), a spiced, hot dog/sausage hybrid topped with sautéed onions and mustard, is definitely a worth making the trip. The aptly named "ripper" ($3.50) is not for the faint of heart, either: Big City starts with an ordinary dog, then wraps it in bacon, deep-fries it Jersey-style, and drenches it with creamy nacho cheese sauce. In addition to the dogs, Big City dishes up stellar Italian beef sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, and messy half-pound burgers that can hang with the best in South Florida. There's a second location in Davie.

I'd like to think that naming a Broward County tiki hut is simple, but I can tell by yesterday's comments that some of you thought we were eating elsewhere. Luckily, a couple of you were on point wit... More »
Last month we wrote about Dogma Grill ("Haute Dogs," November 1), lamenting that Broward dog lovers can't find a certain type of Los Angeles street-cart hot dog. The L.A. dog we were hankering for is wrapped in bacon and griddle-fried with... More »
A generous half-pound beef patty charred to a crisp on the outside with a tender pink inside, smothered in melted cheese and sandwiched amid cold lettuce, fresh tomatoes, onions, mayo, and pickle spears on a hearty fresh Kaiser roll -- that's the Old Fashioned Cheeseburger, and there's no reason to detour from a perfect classic. This creation -- an impeccable assemblage of everything that makes a burger fucking amazing -- is not for the faint of heart. Take a fork and a... More »
Votes: 334"Big City Dogs is what a real burger should taste like: never frozen, made each morning, and grilled to perfection. I went yesterday to the one on University Drive, and they had already run out of burgers. Guy, please prep more burgers. South Florida needs them." -- Estelle V.Runner-up: Charm City Burger Co., 190 votes More »
Gerry P. says: "Big City is hands down the best burger in town! It's gigantic, tasty and grilled to perfection. The only issue is it's to damn big to bite into. Guys, I wish you would open in Boca soon!Not One of the Five says: "You've got to give Five Guys some credit. For the price and the quick service, it can't be beat.Click here to see all of the votes for Best Hamburger. More »
There are few rules in gastronomy as immutable as this: Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon. It's a fact that has not eluded the fine folks who flip, fry, dunk, and top the huge array of tubular beef under the yellow awning of Big City Dogs. Their signature frank, the ripper, is a testament to the beauty of excess: An all-beef dog dressed with a drape of fatty bacon and tossed in the fryer to cook till crisp. To finish it, Big City loads the puppy onto an airy bun and spoons on an... More »
