Luckily, The Burger Project meets all of these qualifications to be a Maginhawa standard. The restaurant is cozy, with seating both inside and outside. You can seat larger parties here but be prepared to be brushing elbows. It helps the place feel more homey. The menu of available toppings and pre made combinations alongside sides and drinks are written artfully in chalk above the cash register and condiments bar. They have this cool template where you can literally build your own burger, customizing everything from the bun to the cheese to sauces, condiments and everything in between! Be warned though, every upgrade comes at a price and it can add up quickly. The standard patty is a very generous serving, and familiar to most Filipino palates, it's a bit on the saltier side. I do, however, appreciate its flavor and juiciness so I don't really think it's a deal breaker. Some standout add-ons to the burgers here include an egg, adobo aioli, a grilled pineapple slice, and garlic cream cheese among more standard and out there choices. I love their fries too! Definitely good for sharing for the size. I recommend the sweet potato fries (₱70), The Animal Style Fries (a nod to In-N-Out's famous fries of the same name), and the garlic aioli fries. They're great, especially the sweet potato fries because they walk a really nice line between kamote fries you'd buy on the street and the sweet potato fries you'd see at more American places.

It still retains that kitschy vibe the outdoor Jupiter branch has, plus the Katipunan branch has a/c, more seating, and is located more conveniently for me. I got the cheeseburger with grilled onions & onion rings. The tomatoes & lettuce on the burger were fresh & crisp; it also had a good amount of cheese on it. I liked that the buns were buttered & toasted. The beef patty had a tendency to start falling apart, but I've noticed this with all the burgers I've had here in the Philippines - not sure why this is. The onion rings were super sulit & the serving size was generous enough to have an onion ring with every bite which I loved. I tried some of my friend's sweet potato fries which I also enjoyed, but I think the ones at Charlie's are better. When we went for lunch, all the seats were taken, but a spot for us opened up soon after we ordered. We got our food fast & left with our burger craving satisfied.

Aloha- the bun makes it big, patty is alright and thick but needs more tweak Loaded- well i expected that it would be loaded but looks like a double cheese burger from M*do Fries- its a little over cooked. some of the fries are hard to bite. money wise- its a little expensive overall i would continue to buy and see if they would upgrade the sauce.

The Snack Shack, a quaint burger joint that first opened its doors inside of the University of the Philippines, now has a second home just a couple of minutes away from the university. They still serve the same affordable, freshly ground burgers that we've come to know and love, while introducing new menu items, mostly various kinds of grilled sausages. As always, it's better to call or text ahead of time before actually going to the restaurant since the burgers takes quite a while to prepare. You can take a chance and wing it, but be prepared to wait for at least 30 minutes to get your order. The taste is worth the wait but if you're easily bored, you've been forewarned.

I am sure not everyone will agree with me when I say that burgers should be served as plain and…read morefresh as it gets. That means no melted mozzarella cheese, no caramelized onions and no special signature sauce that claims to be the winner in every bite. I like my burgers with beefy patties, clean and fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with minimal ketchup and mayonnaise, maybe a little mustard. Anything more and I wouldn't enjoy the burger as much. Fortunately, the Snack Shack offers just that - simple, clean and fresh burgers cooked right in front of you. For less than 150 pesos, I can get a great tasting burger. The only downside is the waiting time that forces you to wait at least 15 minutes, and that's on a good night. This simple, hole-in-the-wall is literally located off the road of V. Luna Extension. You'd notice the place wherever there's a swarm of hungry people waiting to be fed. But for the quality, taste and price, I would wait hours just to have a bite.

For one of those times when I found the scent to be appetizing, I decided to try it out. They give you the freedom to make your own burger, but I just went with one that's available on the menu. I chose the Bleu burger, and it was quite satisfying and tasty. The burger was big enough that I had some difficulty biting into it. Also, the smooth bleu cheese and the soft caramelized onions were the perfect contrast to the crunchy fried leeks in the middle of the burger which blended well with the seasonings of the patty. I also ordered their Chocolate Truffled Caked Shake as an afterthought. It's supposedly a milkshake with some cake blended in. I know that it sounds so delicious, but I suggest that you think twice before ordering one for yourself. In my opinion, it's a little too expensive for its small serving and ordinary taste. Their milkshakes aside, I'd give 8 Cuts a thumbs up.

I'm not surprised that they continue to have a steady flow of loyal customers due to the consistent quality of their food. I like my burgers plain and simple, without any special add-ons or sauces. Fortunately, the order taker at 8 Cuts new just what to recommend. I love how the juices of the burger patty naturally come out on the first bite. The aroma of real beef patty is heavenly to me. Unfortunately, the patties offered by 8 Cuts are quite small, as I prefer the patty to be bigger than the bun. Nevertheless, 8 Cuts serves great tasting burgers that are of great quality. Don't forget the fries!

They still have their Katipunan branch open that I would visit whenever I am in the area. I loved how they designed the place with comic book posters and bright color themes. One of my favorite burgers from them is their Bronco burger since it has Bacon and Barbeque sauce. This just definitely hits the spot. The burger patty they use is huge so as the other ingredients they fill it in. You can share one burger if you have a small appetite. Their fries are delicious as well, thick sliced and filling. I do hope that they put up more branches around the city especially near my area again. They are also reasonably priced and won't hurt your wallet even if you're a big group.

Oh man, Wham! is a throwback. Growing up only two blocks away from their first branch in Katipunan,…read moreI've been going here to satisfy my burger cravings ever since. My favorite of the char-grilled bunch is the Bronco - because who can say no to some bacon and barbecue sauce on a juicy all-beef patty? - but I'm telling you, all the others are just as damn delicious. (Tip: I get mine split in half for easier handling, and with thick-cut fries and onion rings on the side for an extra crunch.) The collection of comic book posters and other superhero stuff around on display is also a cool geeky touch - their name's one of those action scene sound effects after all! Even with its recent renovations and brand-new line of sausages, Wham! has stayed consistent for more than a decade and still delivers that same kick of burger nostalgia I remember every time.

My lament when the Eastwood Mall cinemas area started getting decked out with all these…read moreestablishments was how they seemingly forgot about the Citywalk cinemas area. There weren't much new food places and you really had limited options with pre-movie dinners or in-movie takeout snacks. But thankfully, that all changed in recent years when more and more kiosks and smaller-scale restaurants opened in the cozy area lining the path to the theaters. One of the newest ones is Sandpoint! Although burgers and fries are hardly groundbreaking, theirs was a welcome addition to the Eastwood Citywalk Cinemas food offerings because they were one of the few you could get real full meals from. You can have a whole dinner with their food while watching your movie! It's just perfect how their burgers are huge and actually really really good. Even just their most basic, "entry-level" Sandpoint Classic burger is already a serious burger on its own! The meat patty is deliciously all-beef (you can really taste it), and the buns are these "potato bun" types of breads which just plainly taste great. You can choose from 8 other burger variations and then add a drink + fries/wedges/mojos/chips combo. They have those fat fries things and although I don't care much for the oily taste, they're still pretty good. The houseblend iced tea tastes different-- the lemonade might be better. But all in all, it's heavy and filling, and with the right price. Perfect for hungry, lazy movie nights!

They do well with ambience too! Bun of Brothers is their dedicated burger joint and it has this whole industrial feel to it with corrugated metal for walls, colored metal drums under the bar tables... It's like being in one of those shipping container houses. The menu is all burgers with sidings of nice, fat fries and milkshakes. You basically make your own burger or choose from any of their signature burgers. My pick is the Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato burger, which is this classic American-style hamburger with crispy bacon strips. Mmmm. That or the Bacon Mushroom Melt. The burgers just have perfectly char-gilled, nicely flavored patties (your choice of beef or chicken for all) drizzled in this special house sauce they have. And burgers are big too! Better than Wham or Zark's on the whole, dare I say. You just wouldn't wanna spend for 8Cuts burgers when you can satisfy your craving here at half the price!

I think I have to tell you the story of the first time we went to Foodcamp. Classes were cancelled…read morethat day because it was raining really hard and it was starting to flood in most places. We were on our way home and I was hungry, I remembered my friend telling me that his friend just opened a burger shop in Katipunan and it came with high recommendations and not just because he knows the owner. I would like to blame Foodcamp for rekindling my obsession with burgers. I've tried everything on the menu, well of course not on one visit. And I've also brought a lot of friends there to help spread the word and also for them to try the deliciously juicy, mouth watering burgers. Even just writing about it now makes me want to go there and get my usual Charlie burger, nachos and mozzarella bombs. I recommend you to try those since they're my favourite but you can also customize your own burger. I don't think I'm quitting Foodcamp anytime soon, I've been there countless of times and I'm still not tired of it. If you're wondering, their servings are big and they don't hold back on other things like salsa on your nachos. Oh and their milkshakes are a must try!

The place looks small from the outside, and it really is on the inside, but their burgers are the exact opposite in both size and flavor. It's amazing how there's only five of them on the menu, most named after the phonetic alphabet: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Wagyu (that's not the one for W, but you know what, it might as well be). I chose the big mozzarella-stuffed bacon-topped Charlie: a juicy all-beef patty oozing with melted cheesy goodness. Their jalapeño sticks (dinamita in local street-food speak) were also great: rich cheddar cheese and a kick of spice from green chili in mini deep-fried lumpia wrappers with a cool garlic dip on the side. You bet this mother-daughter duo finished everything in a delicious flash. Happy food campers right here!
