Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville: This laid-back eatery founded by legendary beach- and boat-loving crooner Jimmy Buffett serves up a selection “Burgers in Paradise” — including ones “with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes” — along with sandwiches, salads, and heavier entrees like fajitas, ribs, seafood and steak.
