been pondering on whether or not to try this place out because i’ve had mixed reviews, i was strolling along rob manila when i finally decided to go for it.
i ordered their amsterdam burger, fried pickles, and iced tea.
their amsterdam burger is priced at 280. t
the patty is great. it’s thick, juicy, and flavorful. however, i asked for a medium well because seeing the pink somewhat makes me squeamish but when i cut my burger, it was a medium. still quite pink in the center. i just brushed it off though.
the pastrami gave an ex extra layer of meaty flavor which made it great.
sauerkraut and gruyere is just a match made in heaven so it makes so much sense to mix these two.
however, their buns and sauce was the downfall of this burger for me. hence the 3 stars.
the bun is too soft to handle the big patty, it crumbles and becomes soggy after a while. they should toast it better, or switch to pretzel bun or brioche bun. something sturdier to have a firm grip on the burger and so that the burger won’t just turn into mush upon biting into it.
their sauce could be hella improved, it literally just tastes like local mayonnaise. i had to scrape it off of my burger. it was that bad, for me at least.
their fried pickles isn’t that good either, it’s pretty meh. the breading overpowered the pickles but i guess i wasn’t really expecting much on it.
ice tea tasted great though, perfect tang to match the meatiness of the burger.
i hope they do improve their sauce and buns.
