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 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.

thechipsare 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. theirchipsare 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'!

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

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

burger bistro must 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) withchipsand a drink. if you are able to devour this, (in one sitting, no time limit) you get to keep a burger bistro steak 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

great ambience and the best burgers in pretoria.  one of my favourites is the cheese and bacon burger.  ingredients are fresh, tastychipsand the peanut butter milkshake is absolutely delicious.

best burger i have ever eaten. the patty itself was delicious. the toppings were generous and perfect. thechipswere perfect, the restaurant has an awesome vibe. the prices are decent and definitely worth it. best. burger. ever. also.... the garlic sauce is out of this world.

quality ist as good as it was.chipswas horrible. threw it away. burger was still amazing. but the bad thing was survice. lady at the counter at pierneef was very rude. and not just to me but other customers as well. dont if just an off night or is it because they are a franchise now. anyway. not thinking of going back soon.

excellent service. absolutely delicious food and drinks. good vibe. i'd definitely recommend this to anyone. there is a large variety of burgers to choose from, plus you can altar them as you'd like. you get more food for your money. thechipsare great too.

this is always a huge treat for my family. the best burgers in pretoria.
service is a bit slow, but one can understand it when you see how busy they are. the burgers and definitely thechipsare worth the wait though.

great service with fantastic burgers. you need a shower after the meal which is indicative of the best burgers in town! not only are the burger toppings andchipsgenerous and spot-on, even the creamed spinach is good - not something i imagined would be so good at a burger joint!

initial vibe: (+). i was fired up, i was starving and i just wanted a decent burger. staff were pumped and the cashier was friendly and greeted me with a huge smile. 

food: (+) i ordered the standard ( i like ordering the basic burgers) which comes in at r58 and comes with a decent amount of chips. probably one of the nicest, tastiest burgers that i’ve had in a long time. you can order it anyway you want, i asked for a bit of pink. it wasn’t drenched in sauce and you can taste the actual meat. the bun was perfect and fresh as well as the garnishes.
the burger filled the bun and the bun was big. 

drinks: (+). i was boring and had a can of coke.......nothing special this time. 

value: (+) nothing is cheap nowadays, but i paid the r58 for my burger andchipswith a smile on my face. it was really worth it. 

overall vibe: (+) loved it. my only qualm was that the fries had a bit too much seasoning salt on it, but seriously…….this is a great little spot that makes a great burger. 

i'll be back.

best burgers in pretoria...90% of the time the burgers andchipsare perfect. there is the odd occassion where the patty is a bit burnt or thechipsnot so fresh,however this can be overlooked.

love burger bistro. best burgers in town!!! portions are huge andchipsalso a treat. real potatoes which are a rarity these days. the burgers are innovative and ingredients compliment each other. we've never had a bad experience there and go regularly. whether take aways or sit down, always great!

it was with great anticipation that i watched the work in progress almost 3 years ago. i was new in the neighborhood and so was burger bistro. i recall being there the first night and believe me it was a dilemma choosing between the very refreshing flavours with equally interesting names. 

i can recommend the marilyn monroe, speedy gonzales, miss piggy ah heck i can recommend all the burgers.  don't be intimidated if it is your first time. the flavours are beautifully paired and with a decent patty and enoughchipsto make any man happy you will return time and time again. 

personally i found the atmosphere slightly less  authentic than what i am sure the owner envisaged, a bigger outside area would have been advantageous, but the great quality and value for money makes me return time and time again. i would recommend going with a crowd but do book in advance as they are packed over the weekends. 

arguably burger bistro has the best burgers in the moot and it would be interesting to see how they keep this quality with the expansion of more shops in other areas.
