On April 24, 1989, USA Today asked readers to share their favorite burger joints. The article, "Readers point the way to hamburger heaven," was in honor of the 100th anniversary of the hamburger.

A lady named Shannon Szumierz had voted Duffy's Tavern as Florida's best burger, stating that "the restaurant is no larger than a small bedroom, but the burgers, made with fresh ground meat, are done on an old seasoned grill."

Since then, not much has changed - Duffy's is continuously recognized for its out-of-this-world burgers. In fact, Shannon came to enjoy the same great taste of the seasoned grill exactly 25 years later, on April 24, 2014.

A huge thank you to all of our loyal customers, like Shannon, who return year after year to taste Anna Maria's best burgers!
