burger bistro

absolutely the best gourmet burgee place in town if not on this continent. i have had almost all the burgers on the menu and not one was not better than the other. there burgers is a must if you're in the area. i would personally recomend the naas botha or the dirty harry if not dinning on a date (it is buried under garlic), or if you're up for it try to challenge there dubble burger, as they say you wouldn't know to eat it or to climb it.

i'm torn in two when it comes to burger bistro. i have had really good experiences there but also really bad. the interior of the restaurant isn't designed properly and with a little planning they can easily accommodate more people. i have always found the waiters very friendly and helpful. i think their food knowledge could be better but that is down to management. on one occasion we were sitting at a table close to the main entrance and just outside the door was a table of three gentleman who looked to be having a great time. problem was all their smoke blew straight into the restaurant which spoiled our (and other tables') dining experience a little. to my surprise the gentleman who sat with his back to the restaurant was a manager (could be owner). that really annoyed me. the manager having a smoke and a beer in front of the restaurant's main entrance looks unprofessional in my opinion. when he later asked me how my food and experience was i told him that the food could have been better and that him smoking at the main entrance was unprofessional he just laughed it off. i haven't been back and because of that i probably won't be going back anytime soon.

these people are not just into the business of burgers but also in taking you down memory lane. you are met by friendly smiles, a warm welcome and brilliant service. the craft beers puts the cherry on top. the burgers are grilled to perfection and there is more than enough to keep you remembering them.

a place of dreams...

for many years i have listened to stories from my father about the old road houses that used to populate jo'burg and surrounds. i remember not believing him because i had never experienced a burger as great as he described.

then i found burger bistro and man did i see i was wrong. from the minimalistic interior to the interesting menu design i knew it was going to be something special.

i was there with my girlfriend and we both eagerly ordered milkshakes. the tiramisu milkshake reminded me of my favorite dessert through and through while the coffee milkshake took me to heaven.

then the burgers arrive. large and in charge they sit on the plate. at first i thought it was too big but the alluring taste had us eating every crumb.

the chips are usually what suffer when burgers are so good. i am glad to say this was not the case making the entire meal as delectable as it was beautiful.

it was so good in fact i went back the very next day with my family. my dad was happy too as burger bistro successfully reminded him of his favorite road houses from the old days.

a must try for anyone who can get there. it may not look like much but sometimes it is when we least expect it that magic happens.

finally paid a visit to burger bistro after almost a year of wanting to do so. son in tow we made our way there on a sunday afternoon for lunch and were warmly greeted and ushered to a table. their milkshakes are legendary so i had to try one out. the peanut butter shake is worth al the rave, as are their burgers. large beef patties and so many combos of burgers. one almost doesn't know what to choose. i enjoyed the godfather & my son couldn't finish his bacon & cheese burger. their chips are yummy too. perfectly fried!

they also serve alcohol & after that carb fest i needed a glass of wine to aid in the digestion & so i enjoyed a glass of their house (robertson) white.

also the service is fantastic. friendly, relaxed and yet also quick & attentive.

it's a little far out from where i live so returning may be difficult but would certainly recommend it to any pretoria resident as a 'must try'!

super great burgers. hidden away in pretoria but a must visit!
variety and options cater for all likes and ages! each burger is tasty and worth every cent.

best burgers in town. the original diner-style burger joint will not disappoint! we definitely love coming here time and time again for burgers and milkshakes. our favourite is the marilyn monroe.

wow!! it was my first time at burger bistro.. i was so overwhelmed with all the burgers they had.. all looked amazing.. if you have no idea what to order, ask for the secret burger!! it will blow you away..

overrated, burgers could be so much better if they put in effort. my patty was burned with char for the grill. service was terrible. dirty table and glass

always impressed by burger bistro.. great vibe.. great food.. so difficult to choose between so many great burgers. only suggestion would be to offer salad or something other than fries

excellent food, size of the portions totally makes up for the price! ambience cost them a star.

small place on the side of a busy road but you know what they say "small but mighty". the food was excellent, love the decor and super friendly staff. will definitely see us again...

amazing burgers and service. 
never dissapointed in the quality or the quantity and have never waited very long for service or food.

ijhhhjk

the service was poor , take too long to serve a burger , then u order a side plate of chips and wait 10min . not impressed ...the burger pattie also not that great in flavour
