This Ain't Your Average Burger Place

Nothing beats a good ol' burger for a snack. You'd be lying when you say that you haven't craved for that delicious beef patty with the crunchy lettuce and the yummy burger sauce sandwiched in a bun. It wouldn't be surprising to note that because of its delicious taste and convenience, burger places can be seen almost anywhere. Some even offer buy 1 take 1 burgers for as low as 20 pesos. Of course, there are the burger stalls such as BurMa (this is the 'sosyal' way of calling Burger Machine hahahaha) and Minute Burger. Oh, and let's not take the Burger McDo's and the Regular Yum's out of the long list. But, what makes a delicious burger? We've seen, and probably tried, a lot of burgers out there. And to tell you honestly, it has become a bit overrated. At the end of the day, no matter which burger place you choose, a burger won't be a burger without the usual patty, the usual stuff inside the burger such as the tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese (more commonly known as TLC), and the usual sesame seed bun. So, what else can a burger offer? Well, a burger place at Makati can tell you just that.

Located at A Venue Mall at Makati Avenue is a burger place named Burger Avenue. Don't underestimate this food place, because despite its small size it already has acquired quite a number of followers. Burger Avenue actually capitalized on one aspect other burger joints in the Metro are having a hard time doing - being unique. Burger Avenue does its very best in serving delicious and affordable food while making sure that every burger will not just be a burger, but a Burger Avenue burger.

Burger Avenue is known for its Ridiculous Challenge. It's a challenge that awards a customer a free Ridiculous Burger only if he/she gets to finish the burger before 5 minutes. If the customer doesn't become successful, he/she gets to pay for the burger. You might think it's an easy task. Well, not if what you're about to eat is a 1-pound triple patty burger with three slices of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes in an oatmeal bun. If you guys wanna try it, then feel free to do so. But, in our case, we'd rather savor what we eat (not that we're afraid we won't be able to accomplish it hahaha). Pricing is not that bad, which ranges from around 100 to 300 pesos. For that amount you already have a bigger than the average Burger Avenue burger. Service is also not that bad. They don't have waiters here, though, since all you have to do is order at the cashier and wait to be called for your burger. You really won't have to wait long for your order. It's like a fast food that's not a fast food (You get the idea, right? hahaha).


Here are the burgers that we tried at Burger Avenue:

(Can we just give a special mention to Burger Avenue's water bottle? It's super cute and super unique! It's like a Burger Avenue collectible hahahaha)

Onion Rings, 55 php


Glutton Guy: If there's one thing I gotta say, it's that these onion rings are better than the usual ones. It's not really that different, but there's something about them that makes me want some more. The good thing, though, is that it's crunchy. This is something I really look for in onion rings. It has to be freshly cooked to be really crunchy. It also doesn't have to be soggy and oily. Burger Avenue's onion rings was just right for me. It's a perfect tandem with the burgers here. : )


Glutton Girl: Between onion rings and french fries, I'd choose onion rings. It's definitely not something that you have everyday. I just love how crunchy the onion rings are. They also used real onions here. Nothing of the artificial type. For me it was a bit oily, thought. But, it was really delicious. It's actually on the top of my list of the best onion rings I have tried so far. I would definitely prefer this one as a side for my burger.

Crispy Fish Sandwich, 140 php


Glutton Guy: I tried Burger Avenue's Crispy Fish Sandwich because I wanted something different from the usual beef patty. It's actually a burger with a fish fillet as a patty with some lettuce and some tartar sauce. I'm a super huge fan of fish fillet, so I would go crazy if I did not taste this burger. This is something that you guys should try. It's very very far from McDonald's Fillet-O-Fish. The fish fillet wasn't really that crunchy, but it was really really good. The bun was soft which I also liked. The sauce blended well with the fish. I super loved this burger. This is a perfect burger for those who would rather have fish on their burgers than beef or pork. : )

Avenue Burger, 128 php


Glutton Girl: This is Burger Avenue's version of the hamburger. But, it's a delicious version of it.  The patty was cooked perfectly and it was really tender. The sauce they used for the burger was also very good. It had a taste that was very different from the usual hamburger sauce. You wouldn't need ketchup or other condiments for this burger because its flavor is already perfect. The bun was also good. It was soft, a good indication that it wasn't old bread. I'd say it's a perfect snack for a hungry gal like me!

Burger Avenue offers burgers that are uniquely delicious. This is the reason why a lot of people continue to become patrons of the place. They not only have burgers, they also have sandwiches, pasta, and rice meals that are as delicious as the burgers they offer. They also have ice cream and milkshake for those of you who have a sweet tooth. If you're within the vicinity and you're craving for delicious burgers, you should head over to Burger Avenue. Trust us, you definitely won't regret your visit. This is definitely the avenue to yummy burgers.
