"Le Tub has been a permanent fixture on Hollywood Beach, Florida, since 1975. It's located right alongside a really wide stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway. Le Tub's website proudly states that it's been decorated with "driftwood," "objects," and "treasures" found on Hollywood Beach. These treasures include a fairly eclectic mix of porcelain toilets, sinks, tubs, a pool table, license plates, the leg of a Santa costume, and a rusty bicycle, among other things."
"While burgers didn't make it to a list of Oprah's favorite foods, this particular one did make it to her show, and Oprah has also been quoted on the restaurant's website calling it the "best burger in America.""
"While it didn't make it to our staff's list of the best burgers in America, Le Tub's 13-ounce Sirloin Burger has stood the test of time. This is what Miami Herald had to say about them a quarter of a century ago: "The hamburgers ($5 and 50 cents for cheese) are winners ... eight ounces of top-grade meat, charcoaled to perfection - almost crusty outs""
