Restaurant Review: FAT BURGER

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

There are quite a handful of various burger restaurants now in Jakarta, most of them are branches from the popular American version. Amongst all of them our favorite are the Burger King and Fat Burger.
Psst: We've tried Carls jr and decided that we'd rather eat Mc Donalds ;p (based on our experience: the service is really slow and the burger is so-so, compared to other burgers from other brands/resto).

Fat Burger was voted for Best Burger in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Their specialty/motto is their burgers are made from pure Premium US Angus Beef, grilled to order every day to ensure freshness.

So anyway, the first time we've tried Fat Burger was in their Senayan City counter. It was located in LG floor. I love the decor and the ambience there.

The place has an open design with seats tucked inside and outside the "no front wall" area. It kinda has a retro feel in the design, and there's also a corner with wash basin in it. The mix of black and white flooring with the shiny all-chrome kitchen counter really brings out the kitschy retro decor. The seating area consists of wooden tables and cushy padded chairs in deep red color which is very inviting and comfortable at the same time.

Just like other burger joints, the menu here consists of variety of fast food such as fries, burgers (doh), onion rings, chicken wings, milkshakes, etc.. The price is around the same price as other deluxe burger joints, more pricey than your regular Mc Donalds but you got what you paid for :)

Here's what we ordered:

I ordered a Cheese BBQ Burger and K ordered the Original Burger.

We also ordered some chicken wings and french fries.

Mine is the left one, K's is the right one.
Looks good, aren't they?

For drinks we only ordered some cokes and iced lemon tea:

Overall, K said the Original Beef Burger is good but nothing really special about it. I did take a bite out of it and I think it's yummy and much better than Carls Jr and/or Mc D. But I LOVE mine better, ha! I LOVE my Cheese BBQ Burger (beef) ! It was so yummy, the sauce was great, the cheese was awesome, the beef patty was soft and easy to chew, the shredded veggies were fresh and there are lots of 'em. I recommend ordering this burger if you stopped by Fat Burger.

K mentioned that although the Original Burger is good but it's not as good as Burger King, but he also said that my burger is awesome (hehe ;p) and regret of not ordering the same.

The french fries are great and the chicken wings are good but we still love Pizza Hut's chicken wings ;P
The price range between around IDR 30.000 - 70.000.
