Just had to Share...
My family and I had the opportunity to visit a great new restaurant in Fort Lauderdale (across from The Galleria), BugerFi! The best part about eating at this place is it is FRESH and FAST food! Their burgers are "real", all-natural grass-fed beef- and believe you can tell! It's a rustic and casual atmosphere, perfect for a comfy family dinner! My girls (age 4 &6) loved it, one had a Kobe Beef Hot Dog and the other had a Cheeseburger and they ate every bite! The fresh cut fries from BurgerFi are incredible and you can have them several different ways. I think my absolute favorite were the homemade onion rings- they were out of this world, GREAT! We were pleasantly surprised by the incredible understated frozen custard shakes, malts and "concretes". If you're headed out for a little dessert, you will not be disappointed- try the "Beach Blast Concrete". Click HERE to print out a coupon for a FREE dessert!
Wouldn't it be awesome if the kids could contact Santa directly? Well...they CAN! Santa can be reached at (951)262-3062. Make sure to be ready, as the kids will be asked to leave Santa a message with their gift requests!
Have a wonderful week and Happy Planning....
