Don't miss understand me I really like Thai food and I also eat street food from time to time. But after a while I was craving for some typical western food or just something else than rice or noodle soup. I also wanted to sit in a proper restaurant, with windows maybe and not just a stool right next to the fumy road.
Off course I could have went to one of the at least three McDonalds alongside Ramkhamhaeng Road, or some other franchise in the Mall. But I wanted the real thing and one important criteria was the price, as a student I often was quite broke.
One day my friend Ben brought me to a really nice BBQ/ Burger restaurant it is a bit off the beaten track but the food is worth to find your way there.
BurgerBro is the name of the restaurant. It has a lot to offer, beside the very reasonable food prices they have a view special promotions. The location is a bit hidden but the restaurant is nice not only to eat but to chill out.
Burger Bro is a typical American restaurant, run by a Thai guy who lived in the states. On the menu you can find different homemade burgers with the regular cheese burgers, either with chicken, pork or beef starting from 80 baht and believe me they are big. They also have special Wagyu and lamb burgers which are super tasty. I took a picture of the menu so you can see the prices by yourself.
What I really appreciated was the dressing bar where you can find a diversity of different sauces, free flow, you can pimp up your burger with. Like tartar, salsa, garlic sauce and so on.
I came there last Thursday and ordered a beefburger and the guy at the counter said: " On Thursdays we have special promotion, you can get one extra paddy on your burger, same price..." Same price no extras, off course, thank a lot! :)
I always thought the prices are really reasonable especially for the quality you get there but the promotion convinced me completely that ths restaurant is worth mentioning on my blog.
How to get there
Okay, how to get there is a bit tricky. When you come from BigC Ramkhamhaeng or the Airport link, you turn at the BigC interesection right into Soi 24. follow that soi until you see the Shell gasoline station. There you turn left and follow Soi 24 towards Abac University.
So when you are coming fromthe Ramkahmhaeng Road side of Ramkhamhaeng University or the Rajamangal Stadium you just cross through the area to the other side and you will find yourself on Soi 24. Pass Abac and on the same side of Soi24 as Abac university, you have to go into the alley (jaek) 26 that is about 300 meters passed Abac. Follow into the 26 until you come to an Y -junction, there you have to go right and walk around 500meters until you arrive at Burger Bro.
If you are walking from Abac University to Burger Bro it will take you around 15 to 20 min.
I Suggest you take a motorbike taxi from there, it will cost you around 20-30 Baht or when you are two or more person go for a taxi, it will be around 45 Baht.
But a little walk toloss some kalories, if it is not right during noon when the sun is burning down, might be not a bad idea so your conscience will be a bit at ease when you are indulging yourself with those big burgers.
The Location
The restaurant is not only good to eat there but a nice place to hang out as well. It is located in an alley with many nice single villas and a lot of trees. It is a two stories building with a garden and a terrace. Due to the nice surrounding with a lot of trees in a not very busy alley it can be also nice to sit outside. The grill and the kitchen where they prepare everything fresh, is also located outside of the main restaurant next to the restaurant garden. It is open and you can observe every step of the chefs in there.
When you enter the restaurant you get right away to the self service counter where you order your food. The staff is very friendly and because the owner is usually there, you won't have problems communicating in English .
The atmosphere inside the air conditioned restaurant is typical American, atleast the Marylin Monrow picture and other typical American designs are indicating this feeling. There is also a upper floor with more tables and a balcony which can fit birthday parties and other events. Just have a talk to the owner if you are interested in renting out the place.
What ever you are coming for, a quick burger some gourmet specialties, hang out with friends over some delicious finger food and a few drinks or for a party. BurgerBro is definitely a good choice for people who want to get very good food for a good price in a nice environment.
