Beefy King

The Write-Up

The full story

Beefy King is Orlando's old-school roast beef counter on Bumby Avenue, steaming since 1968 and proudly no-frills. The roast beef comes sliced thin and tender, piled insanely beefy onto soft steamed rolls with Beefy Spuds and horsey sauce on the side. Guests call it a true slice of old-school Americana, the kind of sandwich shop they just do not make anymore, with service that stays fast and friendly.

The story of Milk District
