where can you find the best burger in Riyadh? what's on your top list?
Is it Johnny rockets? ketchup? in Buffalo's?..or simple McDonald's?

I love the burgers in Fudd Rockers and Chilis.

i will have to ask my grandkids

The best burger is home made, lean meat, no salt, only natural ingredients.
Fast food might taste good, but it's designed to make you crave more.
Each to their own, I'm make mine.
Enjoy.

I just got my George Foreman Grill shipped in from the states.  Now my burgers at home will be healthy.  I need all the help I can get.

Penguin burgers are the best i've tasted

CivEngr

Not burgers, but osterich, rattlesnake, and alligator are tasty.  Oh, buffalo too.

musicman

George Foreman Grill is really mean
Love the stuff thats made on it

Great question, F-man.

For me, in the States, Chili's served my favorite burgers.  Haven't been to the one here yet so can't comment on it.

However, I DID have an incredible burger at the 4-Seasons.  What I paid was ungodly for a burger but .. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do ;)

Doesn't matter how healthy we normally are in our household with our eating habits - every now and again we just CAN'T drive past a McDonald's!  Shame, I know but I feel so much better with this confession :(

F@*!!!.... what!  Sounds like a very rude word indeed!

I really don't know as everytime I go somewhere the burger is different.

Fuddruckers. It's sometimes good, sometimes dry as hell.
Johnny Rockets. Same.

And those are the only "restaurant" type places I've tried'em. As far as true fast food, I kind of enjoy the Portobello Melt burger from Hardees (it's not your typical burger and is loaded with shrooms and onions). And I actually did go to a fast food place called "Penguin," it's located at "Siteen St".

I was at the Hilton in Jeddah the other day and I went to the restaurant. They had burgers for 60SAR. I was gonna go for it but when the guy told me there was a 1hr waiting period (cause only 1 employee was working and he was the cook and the waiter) I left. So dunno if it would've been as great as Alliecat's,

I do know the best steak is at the Outback (Rib Eye)

musicman

the stuff that people eat these days, yukk!

Hamburgers were made out of BEEF in hamburg, that's how they got their name. No different to beefburgers then. LOL.

CivEngr

No beef when in India, but they did serve a delicious MUTTON burger.

DESERTDOG!! not penguin PLEEEEAZZ!  :o

musicman

In Sri Lanka, the Euro-Asians of Portuguese, Dutch and British Colonial descent are referred to as Burghers. Try chewing on them, yukk!

jillndave

You have not tried making burgers out of 'best Bombay beef', nice tasting buffalo. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

don't worry sparrow, they don't use penguin meat its just the name of the burger shop with a picture of a penguin on it. Nice tasty beefy burgers, better than any others i've tried round here.

Sparrow

OK Desertdog, you're back on my chrismas card list :)

DesertDog

thanks sparrow ;) do i get a pressy too?

musicman

There used to be an era when we only had Holiday Greeting Cards during December. Never saw the word Xmas printed in any of them. Nice to see the sands coming out of the cold.

Lol! nope.. I heard disturbing comments on how fast food beef is processed. .. yeah ...

anyway.
Fud"whatchamacallit" is a cool place. but a little expensive to be a daily target. at least for me.

how about we try it sometime? with the clubbers.

musicman

I'll tale two meat Shawarma's with hot sauce, instead...... any day, any time

hmmmm I like Burger King over here .Haven't explored much in Riyadh but It reminds me Guns and smoke back in Pakistan ..Its yummy and presented in Texas Cow boy style :D

the_blade

Burger Junction off Olaya and Frudruckkers..pulls down BK anytime..in my opinion

nonz...you're probably referring to Gunsmoke in Karachi. They have an incredible way of throwing plates..but yeah the burgers and mini lcds!!! amazing!
