Discover the Best Burger Joints in the Philippines

Visited the original Sweet Ecstasy branch and tried the Double Burger and Grilled Cheeseburger. Both were excellent, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Grilled Cheeseburger, made of two grilled sandwiches stacked with a patty and cheese, was especially satisfying and unique. The garlic aioli and caramelized onions made it better. Also ordered onion rings on the side; they were okay, but not the best I’ve tried, I find it lacking in taste without the condiments. No waiting time for tables during our visit since there was only one other diner aside from us but it took time for our order to be served. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth visiting for their burgers!

Burgers were the best, patties were juicy and the buns were soft and fluffy. The flavors were true to description. Id skip on the wings and onion rings, there are better ones out there. Prices are too expensive tho for a non air conditioned road side restaurant. If you're a big, consider the limited seats available. There were like five 4-seater tables.

Just a good comfort burger, IMO. Nothing too crazy, nothing too fancy. Just good. I got their bestseller, the umami burger. It’s pretty good. The patty was well-seasoned, the beefy flavor was kicking and the overall taste was satisfying. However, the beef itself was a tad gristly, which I didn’t really like, and probably the my only gripe about their burger. Apart from the tough patty, everything was on point. Maybe they should get a new beef supplier, IDK. But again, it’s not bad at all. Just not good enough top over Sweet Ecstasy’s burgers. Overall, it was a rather good burger experience.

Visited Burger Beast and tried their Burger Bar Smashed Burger Meal and Truffle Burger Meal (total bill P988). The 10-minute wait was definitely worth it. Both burgers featured flavorful beef patties. While tasty, the smashed burger's flavor was a hype. The truffle burger, however, was a standout for us! It was wonderfully oozing with light cheddar (?) cheese and a great truffle scent, offering a rich beef flavor beautifully paired with the truffle. The soft bun also complemented the overall taste. We ordered curly fries but received mostly broken pieces. Despite being crunchy and tasty, the serving felt quite small for the price, especially since it seemed to be weighed. The iced tea was pretty standard, too much ice though. A minor suggestion: it would be great if they offered gloves for a neater burger-eating experience. Overall, come for the truffle burger – it’s a winner! Just manage expectations on the curly fries.

Sweet Ecstasy has been all over TikTok and Reddit for its burgers—and honestly, the hype makes sense. We visited a small branch (about 2 tables inside and 2 outside, good for 2 people each). The aircon wasn’t working and heat from the kitchen made the indoor area pretty warm, so we opted to dine al fresco. Menu alone was mouthwatering. As a burger enthusiast, the classic cheeseburger really hit the spot—the beef patty was cooked well and juicy, and the cheese flavor tied everything together. Simple, on-point, very good. I also love their branding—playful, punk, millennial, roadside vibe that fits the crowd and the overall image they’re going for. This is a go-to if you’re craving a solid, classic cheeseburger. I just hope they expand nationwide so folks outside Metro Manila can get easier access.

I was craving burgers late at night and found this spot on Google. It’s a tiny place inside a gas station—kind of random—but it works. It gets hot inside since the kitchen’s right there, so sitting outside is your best option. No gas smell though, which was a nice surprise. I got the double cheeseburger with fried onions—okay juiciness and cheesy, and the fried onions added a great crunch and flavor. The fries and onion rings were solid, too—crispy and fresh. Cool little hidden spot if you're in the mood for a legit burger.

We came in at 4pm on a Monday. The cafe is small, but cozy. There are outlets and wifi to do some work, but since the seats are limited you cant stay long. The barista is welcoming and ready to share her recos. Also love how they give treats to stray cats that come in fromt of the cafe😻 I ordered a large cafe americano with sweet cream. The barista added a sugar free syrup free of charge since they dont have equal/stevia. so that was great customer service! The coffee was strong but not in your face. The sweet cream complimented really well. For 160php, sulit na! Will come back here to try their pastries, it looked fresh and yummy.

Our Go-to Cafe when we just want a place to chill and have Coffee. It's super Pet Friendly, the staff and owner are super accomodating and fun! Nice place to work while having coffee and a small snack and Every month there's a Limited Edition Drink added to the menu!

It’s been years since I went to this Maginhawa gem. It looked different now, since they did some changes on the wall and also the arrangement of tables and counter. Depending on your preference and budget you can’t go wrong with any of their burgers. They kept their concept of create your burgers/BRGR with 2 options: Two Hands (151g or 1/3pound patty) and One Hand (100g patty). Price ranges for Two Hands starts from Php90 to Php435 and One Hand starts from Php65 to Php285. Then they have different kinds of patty to choose from: Angus, Beef, Chicken and for vegans, Tofu. After deciding on the BRGR type and patty you can choose the bun, cheese, toppings and sauce for your mouthwatering creation. If you don’t like to think about what to order. They offer 9 pre-designed burgers too. Here are the burgers I’ve tried: ❤️ Western Bacon Melt (Php355) - everything I love in one burger: Angus, bacon and cheese. Love it! Make sure to take a bite of all the ingredients. ❤️ Mango Sriracha Chicken (Php225) - The chicken patty was thick and juicy but the mango sriracha sauce was a bit lacking. Overall it was still a good burger. BBQ Ranch (Php265) - I didn't get to taste the pepperjack cheese but the bacon slices made the burger delicious in my book. Pulled Pork BRGR (Php315) - I was a bit disappointed with the pulled pork topping. I think it’s the sauce of the pulled pork that I wasn’t a fan of. Sides: Animal Style Fries (Php75 [Jr] /Php125 [Reg]) - Crispy thick potato slices topped with 2 kinds of cheese, garlic, onion and BRGR special sauce. We got the reg size which is great for sharing. ❤️ Onion Strings (Php65) - I honestly don’t like onions unless it’s fried or sometimes caramelized. The batter was crispy and addictive to munch on. ❤️ Mango Sriracha Wings (Php195) - the Mango Sriracha sauce popped out in this dish. The sauce was sweet and spicy perfect with a bottle of beer. Shake: ❤️ Salted Caramel (Php85 [Jr] /Php165 [Reg]) - They used ice cream instead of ice and milk which made it creamy and delicious. They’ve added oats for texture.

The concept is fun, and the burgers taste pretty good. The ambiance just slightly lacks that "umph" factor that'll make you keep coming back.

It’s no 8 Cuts, that’s for sure. But it never really tried to be that, so it’s fine: it still has its charm, and while I can only handle that around once a year, I am still pleasantly reminded of what I like about the core message of Zark’s: hunger extinguishing.

Why I have 5 star rating is because of their customer service. The staff assisted us from entrance, ordering, request, etc. They were very polite and nice. I even thought they charge a service fee because of how they assisted us. The burgers are also a must try and value for your money. There famous jaw breaker is only at 319 pesos which is a good deal. Plus they have their biggest bigger which is for free if u finish it in 5 minutes.🤤 I can come back for more!

Great place to have a proper burger. I had the 1/3lb “Q-Daddy” burger + Heineken beer which was nice. For that price the burger should include chips… Pros (+) Delicious (+) Fast serving (+) Friendly staffs Cons (-) Can be noisy when it’s packed with people (-) Small seating area (-) Smoke from the grill

Food - The burgers and salt & pepper chicken wings are fairly good. It’s not that sloppy for a fried/grilled food. The iced tea is a bit sweet. Not food related but the serving plate is really small so it’s kinda hard to eat. Also, plastic gloves are not available. Price - It’s worth it given the serving size. Take note that it’s all inclusive. Service - The crew are very attentive to the needs of the customers. Ambiance - The place is small so if it’s a packed meal time, it’s really hard to move around. It’s clean but since it’s somewhat an open kitchen, so the smoke from the grill lingers throughout the place and even your HAIR.

We ordered deals of the day, came with choice of shoe string ff, or onion rings or chicken pops and sweet tea. We both took the fries and ordered a side of onion rings, more then enough rings for a couple. They were served hot with a nice crispy batter, I will say not a fan of their special seasoning. I am pretty confident it's a steak spice sprinkled on top of the rings as it over powers the taste of rings, also the rings weren't given much time to drain well enough as quite greasy when served. French fries were crispy and warm not temp hot and become cold really fast. Both of our sandwiches were appetizing to the eyes, the wife enjoyed her fish sandwich so much so that had taken a bite before was able to take pictures. The burger I had was served hot and very juicy, much better than most of the American fast food burger places. We will eat here again just for the sandwiches, the reason for the know downs on rating they were steady when ate, but not busy. Table wasn't bussed until we left, ice tea had so much sugar had to dilute with water in order to drink. For onion rings get rid of the seasoning and will be a hit, even parmesan would be better than steak spice.

The burger here has never disappointed me. All the burgers in the menu are worth a try. They are on the small side, but a single burger with other side items are good enough for me. The onion rings are also good, but the level of crispiness will vary and it will all depend on who is in the kitchen that day. And don’t sit in the corner because there’s no air there and it can get a little warm.

The service was great and the food was served fast. The dressing of the smash burger goes great with the cheese and tender beef patties. The hot chick sandwich has just the right amount of crisp and the chicken was very juicy. The hot chick fries tastes like a deconstructed hot chick sandwich, so the fries taste better with the beef burgers.

I love smash burgers and Scratch has pretty tasty burgers. My wife and I ordered the chicken and fries to share and also enjoyed these a lot. Had to get the burgers to go because we were stuffed and even at home reheated burgers were great. It's not the best burger I've tried in Metro Manila but I thoroughly enjoyed these and would come back. Take note that the bread is not a burger bun and more like a giant dinner roll almost? I prefer burger buns but my wife enjoyed the bread

Snack Shack is a small burger snacks cafe along the intersection of West Avenue and Del Monte St. You can choose the variety of burgers, pastas, fries, and drinks and eat in the parallel alley seat or on the couch near the TV. There is a mini-pocjet books on the shelf.

Food was great as always. I'm just happy meron na pala silang branch dto mas malapit saamin. The people there are ao nice they let our cat relax after his vet sched. Place was cozy and cool. Hoping to more eat outs here.

Burgers were great, really tasty! 🙂 The fries were just okay, especially the messy fries we ordered. One thing we noticed was that the cooking staff were talking and laughing while preparing the food, and none of them were wearing a mask or mouth cover, even right in front of the grill. It would be much better if they could wear masks for hygiene and customer peace of mind. 😅

The food was fantastic as always, its been always my favorite in town! People are so nice VJ, Cherry very accomodating most especially Dan, he’s been taking care of us ever since. Best service! One of the reason why we always come back too.
