The story

Beefy King at 424 North Bumby Avenue, in Orlando's Milk District, says it has been serving sandwiches since 1968. It is a family business in which four generations have worked and owned the restaurant for more than five decades.

In June 2023 the restaurant held a 55th anniversary celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with cake, giveaways, cookies from 2 Smart Cookies and commemorative shirts. The drive-thru was closed for the day to reduce parking lot traffic. A 2018 story had covered its 50th anniversary. The Milk District takes its name from the old T.G. Lee dairy land that once surrounded Colonial Plaza nearby.

What's There Now

Beefy King is still operating at this address as of its 2023 anniversary.
