Topping the list is La Nota. Located at 2021 St. Augustine Road, Unit #8, the Venezuelan and fast-food spot, which offers burgers and more, is the highest-rated affordable burger spot in Jacksonville, boasting 4.5 stars out of 67 reviews on Yelp. 

Yelper Carrie E. wrote, "We tried La Nota today for the first time, and the whole family loved it. We had arepas, empanadas, an El Pepito sandwich, and a couple Bella Notas--a burger with fried egg, Serrano and Swiss cheese. Everything was delicious."

Yelper Matt C. added, "Topped with baby Swiss and served with a colossal side of fries, my mouth was watering. After a long morning of moving, this burger satisfied my meaty calling. It's a burger's burger - simple, juicy and flavorful!"

"Hey, my name is Mauricio and I am a 22-year-old student at UNF," per the bio section of the business's Yelp profile. "I had the idea to open a restaurant that would provide a lounge-like atmosphere for families, students and professionals. Our very unique cuisine has allowed us to turn first-timers into regulars!"

3. Carolina Jax

Carolina Jax, located at 2548 Oak St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the inexpensive food truck, which offers burgers and more, 4.5 stars out of 46 reviews. 

Yelper Melissa G., who reviewed Carolina Jax on June 7, wrote, "This food truck has some pretty awesome burgers! Even though we only had the basic menu options due to COVID, the flavor party that happens inside your mouth is fun."

Yelper Johnny B. noted, "Wow! The OBX is the best burger I have had since we moved to Yulee four years ago. They definitely just added a loyal customer."
