What I Ate: I ate the Hippo Burger Classic, With ratatouille cheese sauce & peppercorn sauce, this comes with choice of 2 sides, I have french fries and veggies. Also we ordered the appetizer combo with spring rolls, some bbq chicken wings, fried calamaris, and some fried potato & cheese things. The burger may have been 1 of the best tasting cheeseburgers I’ve eaten in Thailand. It was delicious and everything else was great too. I love the sauces! Prices for burger platters were about 350 – 400 baht.
The Staff: The staff was nice and friendly, always smiling. There was also a live band playing some soft rock songs, all English language songs.

Bangkok Burger Co. is definitely a great choice for anyone in the mood for a true American style, American sized cheeseburger or specialty burger in Thailand.

Also there are lots of side orders, salads and many drinks too. They also say “we use only prime cuts of aged charolais beef in our secret burger recipe” and also “our freshly made buns are served straight from our baker’s oven for that famous bbc taste!”
What I Ate: I ordered the Bacon Cheese Large. The burger was probably the thickest and fattest beef patty I’ve eaten in Bangkok. So the beef portion was huge, but I’ve tasted better burgers. The side order comes with steak fries, very rare to find in Thailand, and these were very delicious. I ordered an extra side order of baked beans for 37 baht, and this was the smallest portion of any dish I’ve seen in my life.
The Staff: I ordered from Chefs XP so this is N/A
