I can safely say this is currently my favorite place to go when I want to eat burgers. First, cause…read morefor me it's cheaper and not overly priced and it is not pretentious unlike some other burger joints (ex. Army Navy). I stumbled upon this gem just a year ago. It can be a bit crowded because of the limited space but it usually isn't. When it is crowded, I just have them to go. I usually get the classic burger and it just never fails to satisfy my tastebuds. Their bread changed this year but I think it's for the better. It just adds texture. They have that distinctive taste like when you eat it, you'll know it's from BBB. Tried their blue cheese, it was also good. I just really like their burger, I dnt know why. Between them and Zark's, I'd choose this one. Many love Zark's but I just think it is more unhealthy than BBB. I love how attentive and full of initiative their service is. Also the servers are very courteous and they all look so friendly. One time, I asked not to put onions on my burger and they assured me there's no onion itself but also informed me that their was some of it in the mayo which was fine with me. Love their service! Their place is a bit small but it has the feeling of intimacy with the politeness of the servers. They really make sure you're comfortable. It feels like home. They offer a lot of burger choices (I especially think Hahalapeño is a crafty name) on both 1/3 lb and 1/4 lb. You can add Php40 to make it a value meal which includes fries and a drink. They also have rice and pasta dishes with the burger meat. So I hope this helps, you should try this one! I loveeee it!

My go-to place for Premium Burgers whenever we visit Manila. I love their Triple XXX and…read moreHahalapeño burger. OMG, their burger rocks! The flavor, the juiciness, the texture, the quality, even the lingering after taste is just remarkable. I've tried their nearby competitor but the quality of this competitor's meat is cheap and gritty; but, it is filling. Quantity or quality?? You decide! I've been to many burger places here in the US where we live; but, if you want quality burgers, if you like premium, I would say BIG BB is the place to go. It's so good that on our last visit to the PI, we stopped by the Star Mall BigBB store to buy 2 Triple Xs to eat at the airport for the two hour wait before boarding our plane back to SFO. Yummm! BTW, their courteous service is another great reason we dine there too. But it can get crowded because their store has limited seating. So, at times, we order delivery during the dinner hours. At any rate, you can't go wrong. Wish they had a store here in the US. Better than In-N-Out or Red Robin's. Oh Man, biting that triple burger and the moist juice dripping down my mouth .... OMG!

At 8 Cuts, I love that you can choose your own "blend" and I personally hope this further pushes…read morethe trend of using freshly ground meat for burgers in the restaurant world. Trust me, it is LIGHTYEARS better than settling for the usual frozen meat pucks or worse, "mystery meat patties". Not that's there's nothing wrong with the occasional Burger Machine visit. My personal fave is the "Beef Bomb" with the chuck and short rib cuts blend. I think it gives the burger a great beef flavor and good bite. I also usually get an order of onion rings. I suggest you ask them to leave off the BBQ powder they season them with. In my opinion, it kind of gives them an odd sweet flavor that you don't really need with the onions already present. Just a little tip. Also, their salted caramel shake is a definite winner. Take it from me, 8 Cuts doesn't disappoint. Pros -Complete customization. From burger blend choice, to the type of bun, all the way to in-house made sauces; you can pimp out your burger any way your heart desires. -Good classic burger fare and all its partners such as onion rings, waffle fries, shakes, etc. Cons -None that I can think of.

What I do know is that the burgers here in 8 Street? Amazeballs. I mean seriously, my eyes rolled right back into my skull at first bite. You get what you pay for, of course. It's a bit more pricey than most burger joints, especially their sides. Their skinny fries is 55 pesos, with nothing on it.

The burger patties were good, no doubt, and the caramelized onions were cooked perfectly. The problem with the burgers here is the sauce, which tastes simply awful!

Luckily, The Burger Project meets all of these qualifications to be a Maginhawa standard. The restaurant is cozy, with seating both inside and outside. You can seat larger parties here but be prepared to be brushing elbows. It helps the place feel more homey. The menu of available toppings and pre made combinations alongside sides and drinks are written artfully in chalk above the cash register and condiments bar. They have this cool template where you can literally build your own burger, customizing everything from the bun to the cheese to sauces, condiments and everything in between! Be warned though, every upgrade comes at a price and it can add up quickly. The standard patty is a very generous serving, and familiar to most Filipino palates, it's a bit on the saltier side. I do, however, appreciate its flavor and juiciness so I don't really think it's a deal breaker. Some standout add-ons to the burgers here include an egg, adobo aioli, a grilled pineapple slice, and garlic cream cheese among more standard and out there choices. I love their fries too! Definitely good for sharing for the size. I recommend the sweet potato fries (₱70), The Animal Style Fries (a nod to In-N-Out's famous fries of the same name), and the garlic aioli fries. They're great, especially the sweet potato fries because they walk a really nice line between kamote fries you'd buy on the street and the sweet potato fries you'd see at more American places.

The burger joint is beside a car wash and 2-3 other small restaurants across the side of ABS-CBN. I got their Truffle Burger for Php 245 because it sounded amazing -- 1/2 pound mozarella-stuffed beef patty, truffled shiitake mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. YUM. The burger was huge and the bun was soft. The patty was juicy and the entire burger was great, especially with ketchup. Backyard Burgers had a variety of other solid burger options and I would love to go there again to sample some more.

The Snack Shack, a quaint burger joint that first opened its doors inside of the University of the Philippines, now has a second home just a couple of minutes away from the university. They still serve the same affordable, freshly ground burgers that we've come to know and love, while introducing new menu items, mostly various kinds of grilled sausages. As always, it's better to call or text ahead of time before actually going to the restaurant since the burgers takes quite a while to prepare. You can take a chance and wing it, but be prepared to wait for at least 30 minutes to get your order. The taste is worth the wait but if you're easily bored, you've been forewarned.

I am sure not everyone will agree with me when I say that burgers should be served as plain and…read morefresh as it gets. That means no melted mozzarella cheese, no caramelized onions and no special signature sauce that claims to be the winner in every bite. I like my burgers with beefy patties, clean and fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with minimal ketchup and mayonnaise, maybe a little mustard. Anything more and I wouldn't enjoy the burger as much. Fortunately, the Snack Shack offers just that - simple, clean and fresh burgers cooked right in front of you. For less than 150 pesos, I can get a great tasting burger. The only downside is the waiting time that forces you to wait at least 15 minutes, and that's on a good night. This simple, hole-in-the-wall is literally located off the road of V. Luna Extension. You'd notice the place wherever there's a swarm of hungry people waiting to be fed. But for the quality, taste and price, I would wait hours just to have a bite.

I got the cheeseburger with grilled onions & onion rings. The tomatoes & lettuce on the burger were fresh & crisp; it also had a good amount of cheese on it. I liked that the buns were buttered & toasted. The beef patty had a tendency to start falling apart, but I've noticed this with all the burgers I've had here in the Philippines - not sure why this is. The onion rings were super sulit & the serving size was generous enough to have an onion ring with every bite which I loved. I tried some of my friend's sweet potato fries which I also enjoyed, but I think the ones at Charlie's are better.

The staff is very kind and welcoming (like most establishments in the Philippines) the atmosphere is that of a quick bite restaurant. Nothing fancy or special, I took a few photos of the menu for you to see because they have things that look so amazing on there! I could not even describe the things on the menu well enough to paint the picture that those photos show. They have an absurd burger that's a mile high (exaggeration) and has a competition around eating it within a certain time. Now, onto my order! The first time I came I had a burger that was surrounded by grilled cheese and the cheese was burnt. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of this. That experience being over a year ago I decided to give this place another try when I saw their burger with a pizza on top! The photo makes this burger look amazing! In reality it's not all that great, they completely burnt my top bun which is the bottom of the pizza crust so that might have ruined it for me, but the pizza toppings were minimum, no pizza sauce basically just chili, a TINY amount of cheese, so tiny that you cannot even see it and a few pepperonis, next Is the burger which is just a bland basic burger, nothing special, then they have their fries under the burger and the bottom bun, which was not burned and that bun was very good, reminded me of a potato bun. I also ordered chili cheese fries and since my order was to-go they kept the fries separate from the toppings to prevent the fries from getting soggy and that was a great move! If I come back it'll just be for a snack, their burgers have let me down enough that I Probobly won't order another one ever again.

Plus, who doesn't love Bacon? Seriously. The place is small and cramped. There are a couple of high stools and three small tables under the "Long Live Bacon" sign. If you need to use the comfort room, you have to enter the secret room called ABV. It's a speakeasy and I will definitely talk about it more in another review. The food here is perfect for after a long night of drinking with friends. They offer a breakfast menu where you can customize your own plate. Want a bacon and egg sandwich made with 2 waffles? Go for it! But, in my opinion, the definite Must Try here are their Hotdogs! All their hotdogs are bacon-wrapped and deep fried! YUM! I recommend the Chili Dog (Php220) and the Kimchi Dog (Php190). Next time, I will have to try their Tater Bombs (bacon-wrapped potato tots)! But, it's always sold out when I arrive! Huhu! I can't wait to see what Lazy Bastard will "baconify" next! :D

It was in Jupiter street and we found parking around the area. We saw their big sign that said "Bacon & Burgers this way". When I took a bite of their hotdog, I was enlightened. I tasted the hotdog sandwich's full potential. I experienced Lazy Bastard's BACON WRAPPED hotdog in a bun and topped with a load of toppings. I particularly found their Con carne and parmesan hotdog sandwich to be their bestest. On my next visit, I'm planning to try their AVOCADOG. On the other hand, I found their burger to be okay.

What they…read morelack in decor to add to the ambiance they make up with really good tasting food - so much so that Dayrit's has been around for pretty much forever. What you really have to try at Dayrit's is their house specialty, the Roast Beef Plate. The generous serving of deliciously seasoned and roasted beef comes with a baked potato topped with cheese and bacon bits, vegetables and rice. While the meal can become quite filling, you can just omit the rice and have your roast beef with their delicious baked potato. Another dish that I liked at Dayrit's is their Hamburger Steak. The patty itself is a little bit oddly shaped (it's a rectangle!) and is a bit thin, but it does taste good. It's not too oily and the mushroom sauce that accompanies it is a nice touch as the dish on its own can become pretty dry. On the side, the hamburger steak comes with a small heap of mashed potatoes. What I love about this is that it doesn't taste like the packaged dry spud that you can get, so they get plus points for this. For dessert, try their Brownie ala Mode. This is pretty sweet, so I suggest you split it with a friend. Apart from these, Dayrit's also has sandwiches on the menu, as well as pasta, sizzling ghetti, and short orders. What's great about them is that they also offer frozen cooked food, party trays you can bring to your next potluck, and items sold by weight.
