Back in 2012, when Rebel House was one of Boca Raton’s most talked-about restaurants, they made history by winning the People’s Choice Award at the very first Boca Burger Battle. That moment—captured on stage as Evan David accepted the award—helped define what the Boca Burger Battle would become: a true test of burger excellence, judged by the people and a panel of grill master judges.
Fast-forward to today, January 23, 2026, and Evan David is back in the spotlight—this time as co-owner with Mike Saperstein of Charm City Burger Company, officially opening their second location in downtown Boca Raton where Baja Cantina was located. It’s perfectly situated near the Brightline stop.
The Charm City Burger Boca Raton opening date is officially today – 1.23.2026, and burger fans can now experience what has made the brand a favorite beyond South Florida. Known for bold flavors, quality ingredients, and crave-worthy creations, Charm City restaurants have built a reputation for taking burgers seriously—without taking themselves too seriously.
The Charm City Burger Company menu features a wide range of options, from classic smash-style burgers to creative signature builds, along with sides and sauces that keep people coming back. If you’re checking out the Charm City menu for the first time, expect indulgent flavors, thoughtful combinations, and burgers designed to stand out in a competitive burger scene.
Seeing Evan David return to downtown Boca—this time with Charm City Burger Boca Raton—feels like a full-circle moment for the local food community. From winning the People’s Choice Award at the very first Boca Burger Battle to opening a new burger destination just steps from Sanborn Square Park, the journey speaks for itself.
And yes… we’re celebrating that history.
