hands down the best burger i have ever had. whatever you've had, times that by 110. juicy and flavorsome patty, the meat is fresh and very tasty. beats every burger i've had around the area, in fact, beats any burger i've ever had. milkshakes double thick and delicious but a bit over priced at r50. and very disappointed that they've now taken their once out of this world waffle fries off their menu. the fries now taste like standard mcdonalds. otherwise if you're going for the burgers 10/10! i've never been able to finish a single burger and fries, so the portions are decent.
service is fast and friendly, can expect a burger in under 15 mins during peak time.

bring back the waffle fries!!!!

the food is always great, well priced and awesome out of the box sides. the waffle chips are unique and yummy and the frozen custard sinfully delicious. parking is a mission but well worth it.

the burgers are by far the best in joburg. you can actually taste the beef, and the pleasure of having the juicy goodness run down your chin is deeply satisfying. the waffle fries are a pleasant surprise and washing it all down with a cool lemonade is a nice contrast to the regular watered-down sodas you would expect to find at other places. although worth it, i find them to be a bit pricey (double cheese burger r80 + waffle fries r25 + lemonade r20 =r125). i also didn't like the fact that some products were offered on the menu, but not yet available for order.

pros: great food, different to the norm and friendly staff.
cons: pricey. not all the products displayed are available.

yum yum yum. simple menu, without bells and whistles, but packs a mean flavour punch. you can choose any toppings for free. the best part is the bottled chilli sauce of theirs. omw, i asked to buy a bottle, unfortunately, you can't. sigh. a must-try for any burger lover.

wow what a delicious burger! i tried the ubereats delivery method ( really one of my favorite things ), and the food came quickly.
i am always searching for great burgers so i thought id try a lettuce leaf burger( no bun) on this friday to try and be good.
the meal came in a cardboard tray which serves as a plate and then the food itself was wrapped tightly in a paper fold, so you could actually hold up your burger and eat it. 
it was really yummy and all their toppings are free! how awesome is that? so you can go to town ,or select a few favorites.the lettuce burger was r55 which i thought was really well prices considering i could barely finish mine. 
toward the end i opted to eat the last bits with a fork and knife because the lettuce starts falling apart. but 
that wasn't a big deal.
id recommend these guys, they certainly have tasty burgers!
 

( my pics may not do justice to the size and look of the burger, i also dropped it so it fell apart because of my own error !)

really delicious and juicy burgers. i like that they keep it very simplistic and don't over complicate the burgers. the fries are also delicious

how is it possible that this is the only burger in gauteng worth driving out for (or eating at all)? this is simply the best burger money can buy (and at any price this burger will be a bargain). i have been to bgr a number of times, and they manage to consistently make a fantastic burger. to make such a "basic" burger so tasty is really hard to find.
i always go for a cheese burger, with "the works" and some mustard sauce - perfection!!

i know that this is not my typical review, but in line with not reviewing everything that i stuff my face with - this place surely needs a special mention.
i know that rocomammas used to be very good, but unfortunately since rocomammas was sold to spur, their burgers became mass produced, flavorless, stale bread, tasteless and sauce drenched. so in short guys - if you crave a terrific burger, haste to bgr.
my rating of 4.5 is in line with my usual rating approach (where a 5 for me is only for perfect fine-dine experience...)

how i rate and review an establishment :
1: terrible, will never return will never recommend.
2: ok, not worth special effort, i can make the food better at home...
3: satisfied, restaurant offer good service and satisfactory food, the money paid is in line with quality of food received.
4: a gem, worth visiting for a treat or special occations and referring friends.
5: the very rare and best - fine dining, incredible food, presentation, and service. honestly no more than 6 such places in south africa !

establishment: fast food
related restaurants in this class: shake shack burgers (usa and now also uk), and though i'm not fond of dukes, they are probably the closest in south africa.

food - 10/10
service 10/10
romantic factor 2/10
decor 2/10
value 9/10
satisfaction 10/10

lastly take note- i do not have time to review every chicken coop that sell food or to rate typical places, we all know what you get at these establishments and the average person does not need advice on eating at your local debonairs or spur!

all i can say to this is wow! found out about this spot on instagram and had to try it out. they are still on the come up and haven't fully set out their menu.
their burgers and fries look amazing, all you want to do is look at your food and take pictures. the burgers are made to perfection with fresh toppings and a fresh bun. the fries could maybe be thee best fries i've had in joburg and you can never go wrong with them. all in all, if you're in joburg and haven't yet been to bgr, it's about time you give them a visit.

quite simply the very best most delicious burger i have ever tasted .... the lettuce wrapped burger takes the guilt out of eating a burger too! the staff are friendly and very eager to please , and patient in describing all the options.... my new favourite place!

i love how much this place reminds me of in n out in california.
small menu, simple yet tasty burgers... love the waffle fries 🍟 and the shakes are a treat!
the service was really helpful and quick... wish they would be closer to pretoria :)

shared a burger from bgr with my wife. (we had just shared a pie from milk bar, in case you were thinking i'm sort of person who can't handle a burger on his own.) it was the first and last time i'll share one with her. they are delicious! meaty and juicy with great crispy caramelized bits. proper fast food greatness! the milkshakes also kick ass with some sort of custard base (so i was told) which makes them ultra smooth and creamy. do it!!

the best burger and fries i've had in joburg. the service is great, the team is super efficient and the owners really pay attention to detail ensuring that they are producing nothing but the best fast food and the highest standards. the culture of the restaurant is also something to be commended. i really love this startup and their background story!

finally got to try a burger, it was actually my cheat meal!
i had a single cheeseburger which was soo good and juicy! i didn't have the waffle fries i'll try them next time

they've changed location! this was such a good move for them. they have a bigger space, and are more accessible. i ordered the cheeseburger, waffle fries and lemonade. the burger kind of just melted in my mouth. i had it with peppadew and the bgr sauce. i mean - heavenly. so yum. the waffle fries were also delicious, crispy and soft on the inside. the lemonade was refreshing in this heat, but too tall for me to finish. i really enjoyed the meal, and the presentation. definitely going back with friends soon.

i really enjoyed my meal at gbr. the whole experience was wonderful; from the friendly service from the minute we entered, to the actual food.
i had a double cheeseburger with the works and mushrooms, waffle fries, lemonade, and black + white frozen custard. everything was so tasty. though the portion size of the fries was a bit small. the frozen custard was a delight to eat, so so smooth, and melts almost immediately in your mouth.
for the burger, the bun was soft, the veggies in the were fresh, the patty's were cooked to perfection. the best part? they were seasoned perfectly, not too salty.
