If you want to have a great burger and step back in time, try Council's Bradenton Recreation. I love it. It has been located on 12th St. West in Bradenton since 1954, and has operated in Bradenton since 1926. It has an old wooden bar where you sit to eat your burger or chili or whatever. It also has a bunch of pool tables. The linoleum is pretty much worn off the floor. When you are served your burger, it's not served on a plate, but on paper napkins; and that burger is dripping with juice. The cook told me that the stove he uses to prepare the burgers is 60 years old.
Council's has a fairly limited menu - hamburgers, double hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and chili. I've had the hamburgers a number of times and the chili once. I love 'em both. They also have draft and bottled beer.
Typical of the prices are hamburgers for $4.25 and double hamburgers for $5.50. Draft beers are $1.75 and bottled beers are $2.50.
Council's is located right across from the courthouse in downtown Bradenton, so there are lots of clients associated with the courthouse - lawyers, bail bondsmen, etc. I've had lunch there while on jury duty.
Council's is located at 536 12th St. West in Bradenton.
