The beloved smash burger pop-up that captured Miami's hearts—and taste buds—has officially found a permanent home. Ted's Burgers, winner of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash, has opened at 315 NW 25th Street in Wynwood.
The transition from pop-up to brick-and-mortar represents a dream realized for the team behind the operation, who spent years perfecting their craft at farmers markets and temporary locations across Miami-Dade County.
"Winning the Burger Bash was incredible, but honestly, the real prize is being able to serve our community every single day," said the Ted's Burgers team. "We've poured our hearts into these smash burgers, and now we have a real home to share them."
What makes Ted's Burgers stand out in Miami's increasingly competitive burger scene? The answer lies in the details: smash burgers cooked to crispy, caramelized perfection, accompanied by fries cooked in beef tallow for an extra layer of flavor that has customers driving across town for a taste.
The casual Wynwood space reflects the no-frills approach that made the pop-up famous. Simple, focused, and absolutely delicious—that's the Ted's Burgers philosophy.
"We didn't want to overcomplicate things," the team explained. "People fell in love with our burgers at the pop-ups, and we wanted to deliver that same experience, just with a permanent address."
The Burger Bash victory at SOBEWFF put Ted's on the map, but it was the consistent quality and dedicated following that made the permanent location possible. Customers who had been tracking the pop-up schedule can now visit any time.
Ted's Burgers is open for lunch and dinner in Wynwood. The menu keeps things simple: their award-winning smash burgers and those legendary beef tallow fries that have become the stuff of Miami food legend.
