BurgerFi International, LLC (doing business as BurgerFi) is an American hamburger restaurant chain aimed at the "better burger" sector of the market.[5] The first location was opened in February 2011 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida.[6]
In 2015 a review in USA Today spoke of "... its upscaled statement with sleek modern restaurants giving just a hint of bar or coffeehouse atmosphere".[7]
In 2017, the chain partnered with Beyond Meat and subsequently introduced a vegetarian/vegan burger patty called the "Beyond Burger".[8]
In 2018, the Consumers Union graded the top 25 burger chains in the U.S. on their antibiotic use policies for beef. BurgerFi was one of the two chains that were given an "A" rating for using beef that was raised without routine use of antibiotics.[9]
In November 2021, BurgerFi completed the acquisition of Florida-based pizza chain Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, which has 61 locations in 8 US states[10] as of June 2021.[11]
