Ahhh. Le Tub. I've only been once. Dead of Florida summer. Seated outside. No shade. And it was a 3 hour ordeal. I think they only grill like 6 or 8 burgers at a time and this was shortly after Oprah or GQ or someone "influential" sang it's praise, so it was freakin' packed and miserable. I don't remember the burger at all but I recall the sun burn and the $50 tab for sodas since they serve em in individual cans at several bucks a pop and we had to have had like a dozen or more trying to keep cool. Pretty sure we went to Jaxson's after.

Sorry to further diverge this thread from it's topic.

Mike, I totally believe you, they do get slammed even in the middle of the week. The burgers are AWESOME, glad you made it there, too bad you don't remember the food. About half the tables are in the shade of the trees, so you either get baked or you get wet if it rains, ha... But the heat during the summer and the bright sun can suck. They do have a decent amount of indoor dining under the tin roof, but we go for the tables on the water. I want to kayak a bit north of that area someday - really stunning waterways mingled in among the developed areas.

Our trick this time at Le Tub was to get there 30 minutes before their 11am opening, walk around a bit and explore, then grab a table along the waterway at around 11:15. It was shaded and pleasant thanks to all the trees. The burgers were brunch for us, it worked out well.
