Charlie's Burger

Black Angus with Shrooms - P500

Expensive? Yes… Worth it? Definitely!

Out of all the burgers I have ever eaten, this one has to rank at the top 5! That’s how good it was! For presentation, I give it a four out of five. Of course that’s just based on looks. The ingredients themselves were all fresh and freshly cooked. The angus beef patties were perfectly cooked and were still juicy. The buns were very soft and the vegetable were undoubtedly fresh giving the flavor another dimension to it. As for the taste, this one definitely deserves a five out of five. It was perfect! Nuff said! Price… yes it is very expensive. At P500, it is definitely one of the more expensive burgers out there on the metro but as I said, it’s definitely worth it. All in all, this one is a unique burger and definitely one of the best after all. That aside, I definitely recommend the shrooms! They’re unique to this store and though expensive, are very good!

Overall: 4.75/5 stars

Shrooms burger – P240

I was interested with this burger because it was for vegetarians, and so I ordered it. I thought that it would just look like small mushrooms but I was overwhelmed when I saw it. It was a big Portobello mushroom deep-fried with cheese and everything good in it. It was also surrounded by a lot of fries. It looked like a big patty; it didn’t taste like one, but it was very delicious. It has this distinct and unique taste that would make you eat more.

I just kept eating and eating that I didn’t realize that I was nearly done eating it. It was perfect in every way and it made me full. The only thing that I didn’t want was the fries because they were kind of soggy. But overall, it was a fulfilling experience.

Overall: 4/5 stars

Double Black Angus Burger – P300

For its presentation I give it a five. The burger looked very appetizing. The double patties made it look intimidating at first but it was one good-looking burger. It would probably be the best looking burger I have ever seen. The burger tasted amazing. The patties were juicy and at the same time delicious. The patties were firm but when you bit into them, they would break up into tasty little pieces of ground meat.

There were slices of cheese in between the buns and patties. So that made a total of 3 slices of cheese. It’s no question that I give its taste five stars as well! Although the burger was very tasty, it came with a price. The Double Black Angus Burger costs P300 without drinks or fries. The price of the burger may hurt but it was worth it because the burger was phenomenal. So for pricing, I give it four stars.

Overall: 4.67/5 stars

Good Burger

3C (Three Cheese) Burger

I was actually quite surprised when I got this week’s burger. It was the 3C(three cheese) burger of Good Burger with chicken patties. I heard a lot of good things about Good Burger especially about it being the healthy option for burgers and that their burgers are quite good. Taste-wise, I’d have to agree. The patties were cooked well and were still juicy and they went well with the different than usual buns they used. My friends said they looked and tasted like pan de sal. But the best thing for me was the melted cheese! Other than that, I’ll give the burger slightly low scores. Value? Around 3 stars. The burger was a bit small for something that cost 200++. For presentation, I’ll give it a two stars. The burger didn’t look all that appetizing and the patties, though very well cooked, looked a little bit on the burnt side.

Overall: 3/5 stars

Margharita Burger

For the Margharita burger, it had roasted tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and cheese sauce. Initially, I loved the idea of the burger having these ingredients; it made me excited to really eat the burger. When the burger came, it didn’t really look good. The buns were just pandesal, the patty looked burnt and the smell isn’t enticing at all. When I finally took a bite, all the flavors didn’t go together. The patty was burnt, the bun was too soft, and the other ingredients were not really complementing the whole burger.

Overall: 1/5 stars

Good burgers!

Our next quest in finding the best burgers would be the good burgers! We hope that the burgers are really good.

Mile Hi Burger

Burger made from the finest burger bun. Filled with lettuce, tomatoes, and ketchup sauce. The meal also includes French fries with thousand island sauce for the side dish.

Presentation: 4 stars

The arrangement of the burger was fine. I liked how they placed the ingredients and the side dish. It was really satisfying for the consumers to try this meal. I didn’t find any disappointments in the meal. All in all, the presentation was almost perfect!

Taste: 4 stars

The taste was superb! It is a must taste. I super loved the taste of the bun. It was so soft and delicious. Above all, I liked the burger. It wasn’t over-cooked and its taste will give you a craving feeling that you just can’t get enough of it.

Price: 3 stars

The price is a bit high but reasonable.

Price: Php 215

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Mozzarella Stuffed Burger

Presentation: 4 stars

It was love at first sight! My mouth watered the instant, it was served in our table. Everything looked and smelled nice.

Taste: 4 stars

Every bite was oozing with awesomeness! You'll continue to love it as you bite, and even you've finished the whole plate. The buns were perfect, soft but not airy.

The patty is very juicy, soft, and tender. the tomatoes and garlic added to the yumminess of the burger. The cheese sauce was perfect! But I was expecting melted mozarella oozing as you bite the burger because it's called Mozzarella stuffed burger. Nonetheless, it was still good :)

Price: 4 stars

The price was reasonable because it was delicious; it also came with the fries.

Price: Php 255

Over-all: 4 out of 5 stars!

I definitely recommend this burger!

Chicano Burger

OLA! AMIGOS!

Burger patty with chili corn - carne together with the mexican salsa :D

Presentation: 3

The texture is nice and simple but it doesn’t look tempting for the consumer to eat. No veggies, cheese or onions included in the meal…just plain patty with salsa.. For me it doesn’t look good at all.

Taste: 3.5

The taste of the bun is magnificent and the salsa has a remarkable taste. Deberías intentarlo!!!( You should try it) :P

Price: 3

Cost: Php 75

Unfortunately, the price is pretty expensive. Besides the price, the size is a bit small that you won’t be satisfied with just one order. They should put more ingredients.

Over-all: 3

CRAVEing for BURGERs!

Crave Ultimate Burger

Presentation: 5 stars

It really looked delicious! The burger patty looked juicy! The buns were divine. The melted cheese was to die for! The sweet honey smell of the bacon and caramelized onion was making me crave.

Taste: 5 stars

The presentation was so nice that you would immediately want to attack it. But because it was big, one would dare fathom on how to devour the perfectly looking burger. I don't even know how i attacked it, but i just did. Every bite was awesomeness and perfection combined. The juicy burger blended well with the caramelized onions and the maple bacon, and the cheese makes everything perfect. Even after eating, you'd have that sweet yet salty aftertaste that would leave you wanting more: it would make you crave more.

Price: 4 stars

The price is very reasonable. It did not fail to impress me, and every penny made me want to crave more.

Over-all: 4.5/5 stars

Price: P175

Crave Double-Double Burger

Presentation: 5 stars

As usual, I chose the biggest burger they had to offer and that was the Crave Double-Double Burger. And it was big. Made out of 2/3 pounds of beef topped with hand-leafed lettuce, tomato, white onion, and a generous helping of cheese, it was definitely one of the biggest burgers I’ve had the pleasure of eating.

Taste: 3 stars Price: 4 stars

Expensive? Maybe. Filling? Definitely! I actually had a hard time eating it all. The burger itself looked good though. It looked freshly made, freshly and perfectly cooked, and very appetizing. Taste wise though, it was kind of average for me compared to others I’ve tasted.

Overall: 4/5 stars

Crave Burger with Maple Bacon

Presentation: 5 stars

The burger was beautiful. It had a fresh look that made it very appetizing. Unlike the burgers from Bite Club, Crave Burger’s burgers looked very good served on a tray with paper. The people who made the burger really paid attention to the burger that’s why the burger looked very eye-pleasing.

Taste: 3.5 stars

You would expect the Crave Burger with Maple Bacon to have an explosion of bacon. Unfortunately, it did not. The maple bacon topping was only a little strip of bacon (just 1 piece). The patty was flavorful but it was a bit on the dry side.

Price: 3 stars

The Crave Burger with Maple Bacon will cost you P200. The Crave Burger is P170 while the Maple Bacon (just 1 strip of bacon) costs P30. Seriously, why would 1 strip of bacon cost P30? It was just not good enough for P30.

Overall: 3.8/5 stars

Wham! Burgers

Wham Burger

Presentation: 4 stars

It's a patty that’s packed with ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato. Now, though the meal wasn't really eye-catching for customers, their wrapper or packaging was good and simple which made it more appealing.

Taste: 4 stars

Two thumbs-up for the meal! Compared to other patties, their patty was freshly made which was really delicious. Everything was surprisingly excellent but there were parts of the burger that were burnt so it affected the overall taste of the burger.

Price: 3.5 stars

The price was reasonable. However the problem was that there was no side dish included in the meal.

Overall: 3.5/5 stars

Double Wham Burger w/ Garlic Mayo

I decided to go for the big one this time and I must say, I certainly got what I expected.

Presentation: 4 stars

Size wise, the Double Wham Burger is definitely one of the biggest burgers I’ve ever seen. It’s a bit expensive though but after it all, I must say it’s quite worth it. I have to admit that this one ranks pretty high among all the burgers I’ve ever eaten in my life. To be honest though, once I received the burger, I was ready to be disappointed. At first look, the burger didn’t look all that fresh. The green vegetables weren’t all that green and had little dark parts in it. The tomatoes look like they’ve been in the fridge for quite a while. Perhaps it’s because we ordered takeout this time.

Taste: 5 stars

But the buns looked ok and were actually quite good and I have no complaints about the patties though even they were a little different than what I was used to.

It wasn’t compact but very juicy and fresh tasting nonetheless. It definitely was perfectly cooked and my sauce choice for today, garlic mayo, was a pretty good match.

Overall: 4.5/5 stars

Price: a little more than P200

Definitely recommend it!

Bronco Burger

Presentation: 4 stars

It looked delicious and mouth-watering! The meat looked juicy; the bacon and onions looked crisp. The smell of the well-cooked patty and barbecue sauce entices you to take a bite.

Taste: 4 stars

Every bite is an explosion of goodness! Everything goes well with one another; the cheese, meat, onions, bacon, and barbecue sauce complemented each other. I really liked the play of textures from the crisp onions to the crunchy bacon to the juicy and tender patty and to the oozing cheese.

Price: 3.5 stars

Every penny was worth it :)

Brothers Burgers

I heard a lot from this restaurant so I tried what they had there. It was a simple day, so I ordered their "normal" or the usual burger that people would buy.

Brothers Burger with Blue Cheese

( I know, I have been craving for Blue Cheese since our last quest was a failure, I was hoping Brothers Burgers wouldn't fail to impress me)

Presentation: 2 Stars

It looks perfect except that the Blue Cheese looked unappetizing.

Taste: 4 Stars

It tastes so much better than as what it looks like, I promise. Everything was perfect! The patty was nicely flame-broiled, the oatmeal buns were definitely delicious, the fresh lettuce had a nice crisp when you bite into it, and the tomato added to the yumminess of the burger.

The Blue Cheese tasted surprisingly like Blue Cheese. Compared to our last quest, the Blue Cheese as you may have remembered, didn't taste like cheese at all. Their Blue Cheese added a bit of zing that titillates your taste buds and it would leave you wanting more.

Price: 4 Stars

P 155 ( The Burger was P1o5, and the add-on Blue Cheese was P55)

The price was worth it! I would only like to criticize that perhaps the Blue Cheese was a tad bit expensive.

Overall: 3.5/5 Stars

I will definitely try their other burgers; they have Quarter Pounders, Lamb, Angus Beef burgers. I will definitely come back :)

They have a website and you can check out their other mouth-watering burgers:

Bite Club

The Bombarella with Buffy! Garlic and Cheese

This particular burger has a half pound patty, lettuce, tomatoes, fried garlic, and a generous helping of cheese.

Presentation : 3 Stars

Sadly, the Bombarella doesn’t look particularly appetizing. It looked as if it was haphazardly thrown together and although the ingredients were fresh, it did not look all that good.

Taste: 4 Stars

Fortunately, the taste of the Bombarella is superb. The patty was juicy and perfectly cooked and the fresh vegetables added a certain crispiness to it. The buns were a bit thin but very soft nonetheless. And the cheese, it brought everything together for a superb taste experience.

Price: 3 Stars

The price for the dish is quite expensive but again nothing most cannot afford. Unfortunately, despite its apparent size, the Bombarella doesn’t quite fill you up. As my friend said, “It looks big, but you can eat it in five minutes and still be hungry afterwards.” Overall, if you want a burger as a satisfying meal, then don’t go for this one. There are others out there that will give you more value for your peso.

Cost: P245

Overall: 3/5 Stars

Burgerella with Fromage Blue

It doesn't look that appetizing and it looked as if the ingredients were tossed altogether without even thinking of making it appear delicious.

Presentation : 3 stars

This burger disappointed me because its taste was that of a mediocre burger. The patty was nicely cooked and it was juicy, but it tasted plain. The fromage blue or blue cheese didn’t really add anything to make the burger more flavorful; it tasted bland.

Taste: 2.5 stars

The price is relatively high for a burger that is just so-so. There is nothing new with this burger, you‘d rather have a burger from Mcdonald’s because it wouldn't satisfy your hunger. I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Price: 2.5

Overall: 3/5 stars

Cost: P 195

Burgerella with Cream Me Champion Cheddar

Presentation: 3.5 stars

The burger could have been served in a better way. In our opinion, it would have looked better if they wrapped the paper in the burger instead of laying it on top of the paper in a tray. However, the burger itself looked good. The cheese gave the burger a great look.

Price: 4 stars

The price was very reasonable. The downside however is the lack of sidings. The burger costs P170 without sidings. But all in all, this burger was priced fairly.

Taste: 4.5 stars

The burger’s taste stood out. The patty wasn’t as flavorful but the cheddar cheese brought it back. The taste of this cheddar cheese was confusing but it was the good kind of incomprehension.

Cost: P170

Overall: 4/5 stars

The Place

Getting to Bite Club isn’t a hassle at all. It’s only a quick drive from Ateneo. Bite Club has a comfortable feel to it. The place is comfortable and it makes you want to eat your burger in rather than taking it out.

Emmental Burger

Emmental Burger from La Creperie in Eastwood












Taste

The Emmental Burger definitely ranks among the best burgers I have ever eaten! Everything was fresh and very well cooked. The patties were juicy and cooked just right. It went well with the extremely soft buns and the crispy fries on the side! Every single one of these added to one of the best burger experiences I’ve ever had!

Presentation

I’ve been to many restaurants that serve dishes which were not quite what they promised in the menu display. But the Emmental Burger was not one of them! The real thing was as appetizing as it looked and I definitely got what I expected!

Price

Like many of the dishes in La Creperie, the Emmental Burger is a bit expensive. It’s nothing most students can handle but definitely a bit tough on the wallet. But despite that, it’s definitely worth it! The taste aside, the entire dish itself was very filling and delivers a good value for your peso. I definitely recommend it!
