Astronaut cooks have made numerous attempts to wrangle hamburgers into space-ready meals, from dehydrated-pickle discs to vacuum-sealed burger bottles. Enjoy what our starry-eyed brethren never can with today’s Groupon. For $8, you get $16 worth of mouthwatering burgers, refreshments, and more at Back Yard Burgers. This Groupon is good for participating area locations in Orlando and Altamonte Springs.

Back Yard Burgers serves up North American Black Angus burgers hash-marked to order on genuine flame-licked grills. Third-pound patties dress for dinner with lettuce, vine-ripened tomatoes, red onions, dill pickles, and a condimental trio of ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Or gussy up for patty prom with premium add-ons such as coleslaw, chili, sautéed mushrooms, bacon, and more ($0.35–$0.45 per topping). The grill masters also flip the original white meat, prepping Hawaiian chicken sandwiches with grilled pineapple, mustard, mayo, and lettuce ($3.99), as well as a blackened chicken sandwich, whose spicy soul is tormented to tongue-tingling taste and tenderness. Away from the flames, feel free to enjoy a wide range of pairable plates such as chili cheese fries ($2.29 for regular size), garden salads ($1.79), and sweetly baked fruit cobblers ($1.89). Wash everything down with a lemonade of either strawberry or regular lemon, or opt for a hand-dipped milkshake, available in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or Oreo.

While diners could gather up all the eclectic ingredients from the local grocer, take up cattle farming, and somehow obtain a major league ball club even though they're only 14, it is more efficient to order up some fresh, char-marked consumables at Back Yard Burgers.

• The most important thing after all about this place is the food: The Burgers are bangin'. I think they are the only burgers I have tried around here that actually taste like they came right off the grill from my backyard. Delicious. – Tasty Chomps
• Great burgers, with that nice charcoal grilled taste on a properly-sized bun that works, and doesn't fall apart. Friendly service. – Jerry E., Yelp
