BURGER DIARY

I try to track down all burgers that I have ever eaten. From fast food chain to Burger joint or restaurant with Burger on menu. I will try to eat their signature dish, usually their most expensive menu, and tell what I think about it and will try to post original picture, if I'm not forgotten.

Lawless Burger and Bar - Jakarta

The most hype Burger joint in capital city, Jakarta.

 

The Lemmy - Rp150k++ 

The Lemmy - Rp150k++

 

Double beef patty with bacon brisket onion ring and sunny side in between soft bun, I am so full after I eat this, at first I really enjoy it, but after never ending meats it become little monotone maybe because it have very many layers of meat so I just eat meat after meat. But it was a nice experience and must try menu for carnivores. Maybe I will try other menu with less meat.

 

Sabbath Double - Rp80k++

Double patty with cheese and caramelized onion, no need for vegetable. At first the edge of patty is little dry but, after eat more it became moister and taste good. Like this more than The Lemmy, maybe because it was more enough, not overwhelming.

 

KFC - All area

Fried chicken fast food chain

 

Zuper Krunch - Rp20k++

KFC's best menu beside their fried chicken, it's perfect chicken burger at least for fast food. The patty is crunchy boneless chicken breast complete it with cheese, vegetable and original sauce. The main issue is the chicken size may vary on every outlet.

 

Double Down -  Rp27K++

Double Down -  Rp27K++

 

Not their best menu. It's a burger with chicken as a bun and hashbrown at the middle with lime sauce. The chicken is not crunchy and I don't like the sauce, that's it, but will try at another outlet just try their consistency.

 

Krispy Burger Grilled Soy Sauce - Rp30K++

 

Basically It's Zupper Crunch with different sauce, still good sauce with little spicy of black pepper.

McDonald's - All area

Fast food chain with burger is their top menu.

 

Big Mac - Rp30k++

The famous Big Mac, it's getting smaller and smaller.

 

Double Cheeseburger - Rp30k++

 

Better than Big Mac, the patty not dry. Acceptable.

 

Burger King - All area

Fast food with burger as their specialty.

 

Whopper - Rp50k++

Their best burger and it's pleasure to eat, for fast food the meat is so good and don't forget they have option to make it double patty (it's not option, it's obligation), they also have another variant with 4 cheeses to make it messier. Their other menu is also good burger.

Carl's Jr - All area

Premium burgers fast food

 

Memphis BBQ Burger - Rp60k++

 

Maybe not their signature, but it's also pleasure to eat beef patty, pulled beef complemented with onion rings and their BBQ sauce. Size is big enough to make you full and satisfied, it tastes good too, I love their beef patty and onion ring. They have an interesting set of menu, will try other menu and of course their signature (but they label lot menu as a signature, will try all of it).

Western Beefbec Cheese Burger - Rp60K++

 

One of their bestseller, Burger with beef bacon, Onion ring and BBQ sauce. It's standard for their signature Burger, the patty and size. Overall it's same with Memphis with bacon as the different.

Wendy's - All area
US fast food restaurant chain 

 

Stacker Burger (with Double Patty) -  Rp45k++

Stacker Burger (with Double Patty) -  Rp45k++

They have option 1 patty or 2 patties, it's one of their signature burgers I pick this because it doesn't have vegetable inside. It's just patty, one or two, with beef bacon, cheese and original sauce. I like the patty not too dry and has decent size, but the bacon, don't like, it's texture made it hard to chew.

Burgerax - South Tangerang

Local burger joint 

 

Bomb Burger - Rp55k++

 

Bomb Burger - Rp55k++

 One of their most expensive on the menu and I have to say I am disappointed. The patty not too big and too dry, thumb up just for the bun. Little let down for me because I ate their chicken burger before and that was good.

Blenger Burger - Jakarta area

The legendary burger joint 

Cheese Burger - Rp23k++

 

The best budget burger, for a cheap price you will get a big beef patty, sliced cheese with vegetable and messy mayonnaise also a thick bun. No wonder this place can still exist for a long time.

Burger Bener - Jakarta area

Local burger joint with more than 5 branch

Bener 2 with Cheese - Rp30k++

Bener 2 with Cheese - Rp30k++

 

Despite their simple appearance, it's actually taste very good. Just patty, cheese and buns. My order is Bener 2 that's mean it have two patties, you can order up to 3 patties or using spicy sauce, your choice. They cook the patty decent, not to dry still have moist inside and the size is decent. Their cheap price, lot branch and easy to order online will be their main selling point.

Bros in The Box - Jakarta area

Local burger joint

 

Mushroom Burger - Rp40k++

Mushroom Burger - Rp40k++

 

Not their signature, it's Sliders as a signature. For this price I prefer more big size than this, aside from the size, it's actually having a decent taste with especially their sauce. Will try their Sliders another time.

Burgrenns - Jabodetabek Area

Modern Vegan Restaurant

Big Max - Rp72k++

Big Max - Rp72k++

 

Complemented with salad and sweet potato chips, all vegan burger serves. They replace meat with mushroom and chickpea as the patty and complete it with whole wheat bun. I like the mushroom patty, but not the chickpea cause it's so bland. Their sauce is also not helping, it's not saucy enough. The good point is I am full after I ate this, the portion is good.

 

Bros Burgers & Beers - Jabodetabek area

Upcoming Burger Joint

 

She Caught the Chicken - Rp35k++

Chicken burger with coleslaw, I like the burger sauce and the coleslaw dressing, but I didn't like to eat them together as it overpowers each other. Chicken meat has crispy skin and the meat inside also taste good. All their menus have a reasonable price none of them are overprice, this is good choice if you want a budget burger with good taste and also they have many branches scattered around Jakarta.

Flip Burger - Jabodetabek Area

Local Fast Food Burger Restaurant

Smacker - Rp70k++

Love this. Double patty with double cheese, bacon, caramelize onion all of it warp with soft bun, perfect. Patty so tender and taste good, my personal favorite is their caramelize onion perfectly sweet and give a new different experience. It little pricey, but it's worth every money you spend on it, but none like other fast food chain they didn't have many branches so depend on location it will little difficult to find this pleasure.

 

Raffel's - Jakarta Area

Sandwich Specialty Fast Food

 

Beef & Cheddar Cheese - Rp45k++

Beef & Cheddar Cheese - Rp45k++

 

It's using sliced beef as the main protein, pairs with melted cheese. It pities I take away this dish to home because I can't fell the melting sensation on the cheese, but it still tastes good. They were seasoning the beef well it looks bland while the truth is not and the serve it by 2 or 3 sliced, so it still good size. Cheese also taste good it completes the dish.

Burger Bangor - Jabodetabek Area

Burger joint with more than 50 branchs

Ningrat Cheese - Rp30k++

 

Ningrat Cheese - Rp30k++

 

Their menu have burgers until 3 patties between the buns, with cheese or without it, like another budget burger joint, they keep it simple. I like the taste, they have juicy patty cooked nicely without over grill the outside and soft buns to please your teeth. I feel the cheese is just small compare with patty size, but maybe I am just unlucky that day, still taste good otherwise. Coming with over expanding branch (more than 50 in Jabodetabek Area) they need to start use their money to marketing this, they have a bright future. 

 

Burger House - Jakarta 

New Burger joint near my place

 

Signature Big House - Rp45K

 

Tried new place near my rent room, Burger with Bolognesse sauce and sauté mushroom will complete handmade beef patty. Overall It's good, nice patty not to smooth still had muscle on them but taste nice. The  Sauce didn't shout loud just to add more taste, but the mushroom is nice. Hope they can last longer, so I can try the other menu.

Woodfire Burger - Jabodetabek Area

Local burger joint start to earn name

Stuffed Cheese Burger - Rp70K++

 

Finally, try their Burger because they open a new branch near my home. The brand get a hype for their massive size of burger and good review, when I get the Burger at my hand It's lived the hype, for the size at least. Their patty is thick and taste good, It's consist of Coney beef sauce that also good and cheese sauce as replacement for sliced cheese, they didn't fry the Onion and seasoning well. Love the size, love the taste, will try their other menu

 

Byurger Burger - Jabodetabek Area

One of the most hype burger joint

 

Damn Basic Double - Rp60K++

 

I tried their Damn Basic Double, It's consist of two patties with confit garlic and caramelized onion, no vegetable. For me, the beef is too dry and under seasoning it make the whole burger bit boring. Caramelized onion help a bit, but overall not my favorite. Will try other dish. 

 

Traffic Bun - Jabodetabek Area

Local Burget Joint

Double Cheese Burger - Rp60K+

 

I try this because it had discount promo, half price plus FF and Cola. No expectation with this brand, although the brand already big enough. Burger portion itself, not big as the promotional picture (of course, who doesn't) 2 patties between buns, basic, but I can't taste the real cheese due the overwhelming cheese sauce. The patty bit cold, but the bun soft and warm, maybe they use pre-prepare patty to speed up the service, but it still tastes ok, nothing special about it. Buy it if they have another discount. Their FF is good by the way.

Locksley Burger - South Tangerang Area

New Burger Joint

All Double Burger - Rp75k+

Let me copy the menu description of the menu list, 2 Smashed Beef Patty, 2 chess slice, Romaine lettuce, caramelized onion, pickles and soft bun. The size is big, but I can fell all elements and it's all taste good. Just write about it make me drooling, it's that good. I will try their other menu to make sure their consistency. If they have better promotion, they can compare with Byuger for premium Burger joint, I think.

Good Daddy Burger - Jabodetabek Area

Upcoming Burger Joint

Godfather Burger - Rp100K+

Triple beef with beef brisket and sunny side up added with caramelized onion and sauce. First time tried triple stack beef and I am super fulled. Its size is big and it also tastes good. One drawback is they didn't fill the sauce evenly, it's contain 2 different sauces, but it doesn't mix properly so it's like eating two different meals but it still nice tasting experience. If it's too overwhelming you can pick other menu with less stuff.

Burgushi - Jakarta Area

Fusion restaurant

Burgushi Signature - Rp40K+

 

Really waiting to try this one, turn it is a disappointment. This is a fusion restaurant with combine burger and sushi. I try their Burgushi Signature (it's the one with discount), Cheesy beef patty with sunny side up and rice Katsu as a replacement for buns. For me, the rice Katsu was bland and their sauce didn't help also and the beef patty also so-so. 

Luberger - Jabodetabek Area

Local Burger Joint

Double Cheese Burger - Rp60K+

Double smashed patty and the thick one too. Cheese, pickles and special sauce. The cheese is blended with the sauce, so good can be used as dipping sauce for FF too. Love the patty, thick, moist and very tasty. Love the experience when eating it. Will be ordering again if I have the chance.
