burger bistro

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 burgerbistroand 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 burgerbistrosuccessfully 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 burgerbistroafter 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'!

when we think about burgers , we think burgerbistroimmediately 😍😍😍 i just love this place. they have the best burgers, with the best chips , with the best milkshakes, with with with. everything is just amazing!!!!!!! love it

burgerbistromust be one of those places that i would have to say go try it out! their burgers are amazing and so are their shakes. if you up for the challenge, there is a burger or should i say a tower of a burger (5 patties with cheese, bacon and, and, and) with chips and a drink. if you are able to devour this, (in one sitting, no time limit) you get to keep a burgerbistrosteak knife. i have not yet had the guts to try it out but i did see someone attempting it. this place is kids friendly. go ahead and take your kids for a great burger experience

i really enjoyed burgerbistroburgers and sauces absolutely delish.... i've definitely​ recommend them to family and friends. the service was good and well the whole atmosphere is amazing as u really get the feel for retro. not ur normal kind of restaurant.

i'm very sorry and disappointed to write this review. i really love burgerbistroand go there often. it has always been wonderful and the food is always fantastic. went there tonight and sat for almost an hour and a half waiting for our order of two burgers, all the while probably about 25 burgers went out past us as take away orders. the restaurant was almost full with people that had sat down at a similar time to us, and only two of about twenty people had their orders. i can understand that people phone ahead and order take always but i don't understand how that can make you ignore your patrons sitting in the restaurant. not one person came to check if we were fine or to assure us the food was coming or to apologize for the wait. and still the take away orders went out one after the other. the service was downright unacceptable with no manager to even speak to. eventually got up and left and though a waiter came to ask us to pay for the drinks, he gave no assurance our food was even started on in the kitchen! so sad that a local favourite has become this. what an evening ruined.

my family and i went for supper at the burgerbistroand what a great experience. the burgers are the best i have had. the servings are generous and the service is great. i would recommend the burgerbistroto anyone looking for an enjoyable night out.

what a splendid time we had at burgerbistrolast night. after rushing in at 20:50 (the kitchen closes at 21:00) we were wellcomed friendly and served speedily. craft beers appeared almost immediately: darling sun gazer and jack black brewer.
my speedy conzalez burger was delicious - gigantic and loaded with emmenthaler spiked with jalapeno. potato chips, medium cut, cooked well and turning "slap" when in contact with burger juices.
just the way i like it.
decor is minimalistic with creative touches like old vinal records for place mats and menus in record covers of yesteryear

burgerbistrowas propvol geselsende groepe met 'n warm, vriendelike atmosfeer. ons burgers was lekker en baie groot. met tjippies wat slap word in die sous op jou bord. mmmm ek gaan sommer nou weer!

best burgers in pretoria! whenever my husband and i have a craving for burgers burgerbistrois always our first choice. there are many reasons for this choice and i will provide you with a few.

1. value for money - here you can expect to get more than you pay for. their burgers are gigantic. i can never finish a meal in one go, even my husband finds it hard to clear his plate.

2. taste - the giant fluffy white bun, the perfectly cooked patty, the fresh garnish, the creamy cheese sauce, the crispy fries all of these ingredients come together to create a feast in your mouth.

3. friendly attentive staff and lekker vibe - the red and black theme together with the old vinyl records for place mats, volkswagen beetle bonnets against the walls makes you feel like you are part of the movie grease. the staff are always friendly and ready to serve.

if you decide to visit this restaurant i would recommend you have the cheese burger, the cheese sauce are out of this world. for something sweet try one of their milkshakes, the old school yummyness will not disappoint.

my recommendations for this restaurant would be to consider installing an air-con, it gets quite hot inside with the open planned kitchen. i would also create a separate queue for take away customers, to make the place feel less crowded.

may i have a round of applause for this awesome reinvented burger restaurant, in the "hartjie" of the moot. what blows my mind is that there use to be a burger take-away right before burgerbistrotook over, but nothing can compare the 2 with one another. perhaps it is the retro decor or the classic tunes of the 80's playing in the background, or could it be the amazeballs, ginormous burgers, wait now i know...it is the "peanut butter milkshake" first of his kind, parents be aware it is not drugs your children will get hooked on but this, this mouthwatering peanut-butter milkshake. to all my vegetarian friends, please feel free to ask for the "gandhi burger" it is not listed on the menu but they accommodate even the mushroom, haulomi and basil pesto eaters as well.

wow! we went to burgerbistrobased on reviews and we were not disappointed!! the burgers are huge! (and worth the wait!) with handcut chips... milkshakes are delicious too! we went on a friday evening and it was busy, so i suggest reserving a table, but they do, do takeaways!

burgerbistromanaged to take the "ordinary" out of the burger. few places can make a burger with such passion. this is a "must do" for everybody and you won't be dissapointed. just go hungry, really really hungry...

luxury burgers!

i have been to burgerbistroprobably 10 times now, and i've never had the same burger twice! that's not to say i wouldn't have them again. i'd have them all again, but each option just sounds so delicious. the naas botha (biltong) burger is a personal favourite and top of the list to try again once i've had all the options

the restaurant has a cool retro vibe, with car parts and art on the walls, and vinyl records as placemats. it also serves a few different (bottled) craft beers, which are well worth trying.

portion sizes are very generous - a hearty burger & bun comes accompanied by a rich sauce and a lot of chips! you won't be hungry after you've eaten here!

the restaurant is quite small - so if you're a large group, make sure to book in advance!

burgerbistrois definitely one of my new favourite places to dine! the short, 10 minute drive from hatfield is far enough to let you escape the busy student life surrounding campus. we were greeted with smiles from all staff members, and were made to feel right at home in the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. burgerbistrooffer a great lunch time deal - a bacon and cheese burger and and milkshake for under r60. definitely worth giving it a try!

i have never seen such a big burger menu in my life. burgerbistrocertainly takes the award for most burger variety in pretoria. i had a burger with cheese, avocado and bacon. it was comically big when it arrived and i didn't manage to finish it. it's a pity that it's a bit far out but if you're up for discovering a new burger place then i recommend it.
