This feature of the Biff Burger franchise was designed to maximize profits due its short assembly time (as quick as one week) and easy transportation. Port-a-units serve as the Biff Burger drive-ins that are preassembled and shipped with hundreds of restaurant tools that included Each of the Biff Burger drive-ins were independently owned as part of the National Biff Burger franchise.Ī Port-A-Unit is a uniquely designed transportable building implemented by the National Biff-Burger System. The number of restaurants in Florida grew, with smaller concentrations of restaurants stretching from Georgia to Tennessee to North Carolina. The restaurants were marketed at roughly $13,000 and more than 800 restaurants were sold. It franchised its restaurants under favorable conditions. This method gave the burger its much advertised "flame broiled" taste.Įarly success prompted for the National Biff Burger System to begin expanding Biff Burger. The broiler was set up in two parts: An upper rotisserie rack broiled the beef and a second lower rack toasted the buns, which collected the juices dropped from the beef. Biff Burgers were produced using the Roto-red broiler designed by the Branes. It was operated under the National Biff-Burger System, their manufacturing company that oversaw the production of materials to be used within the Biff Burger franchise.Īs a burger chain, Biff Burger was known for its “ flame-broiled” burger. The first Biff Burger restaurant was started by co-owners Bruce and Earl Brane in 1956. However, financial woes in the 1970s sent the chain on a decline and most of its restaurants out of business by the 1980s. Early success in the late 1950s and early 1960s led the franchise to spread to many parts of the Southeastern United States.

So the reason we didnt eat them is because they need to CHANGE THE GREASE.

We had tots and fries and could not eat them and the server didnt ask why. My husband ordered a 1/4 pound bacon deluxe ( no bacon of course) We laughed when it arrived.

It arrived and the disappointment was overwhelming it was the size of a mcdonalds cheeseburger. Meaning they had DIRT all over them.The server did not offer to wipe it down so I had to ask. We thought about leaving (should have) they had no. There was one server and she was also the bartender. This disappoints me to write this review after going here for over 15 years.My husband and i arrived and waited quite a while for our drinks. It’s sad to see that a St Pete staple is on the decline, and with a dwindling clientele you would think they would nurture ties with the community but instead, he soured our view of Biff’s Burgers forever. I would have gladly had a decent conversation with him and continued to patron this restaurant but after that exchange, I (and everyone I know) will never go back there.

Owner or not, this is NOT how to treat people in your community. He was a heavy-set middle-aged man with black/brown hair in a light-colored SUV. If I unjustly yelled at someone and their mother, I would be embarrassed too. I asked for his name and he hesitated and stubbled before saying he was the owner “John Sharp”, which I assume is probably an alias. First of all, do not blame me for the irresponsible actions of other pet owners and secondly, there is a way to convey your message without attacking people who are just CROSSING the parking lot. Huh? I was genuinely confused and thought he has joking but he continued “You people walk your dogs on my property and don’t clean up after they go to the bathroom!!!”.

rolled down his window and yelled “You can’t be on my property with your dog!” I was on my usual morning walk with my mother and dog crossing the Biff’s Burger parking lot when an SUV started following us. We used to frequent this place but after this morning’s experience, I will NEVER EVER spend another dollar here.
