Simple word-of-mouth about its mouth-watering cheeseburgers has made Council's a must-go spot for burger lovers. Located across from the historical downtown Bradenton courthouse, Council's has been open since 1926. Whether it's because of the toasted bun or thick-sliced tomato, Council's has stayed in business with its cheeseburger alone. Council's also offers sides such as potato salad and chips as well as draft beer. And don't forget about billiards, as Council's has eight pool tables.
