The Beefy King sandwich is thin-sliced rotisserie roast beef piled on a small steamed bun, served straight or with the house Beefy Sauce, since 1968.
Beefy King opened on North Bumby Avenue in 1968 as a roast beef counter founded by Tom Viegle; Freeman and Margaret Smith bought the original location within a year and the shop has stayed family-run by their descendants ever since. The thin-sliced roast beef on a steamed bun is the city's defining 1960s diner sandwich, with the Spuds curly fries and seasoned Salts a constant since opening. Beefy King survived the chain era and the Disney boom by holding the same six counter seats and same blue logo for six decades, and it remains the canonical Orlando lunch institution.
