ES1 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Man oh man the garbage I read on these forums. So I went and tried this place and not impressed at all. Meat was dry and tasted like it was filled with sawdust. I would say it's probably the worst burger I've ever had in Thailand. Granted, I rarely eat burgers in Thailand. Still, not worth the price imho. Whoever started this thread shilling for this place owes me 89baht. And here are a couple pictures of the place taken from my crappy cell phone camera. Everyone who said it's within the range of ok to great doesn't know what they are talking about or they are just shilling for the place. Save yourself the time and money. Trust me. Interesting that you did not post a pic of the burgers. You did post a pic showing two customers who, I suppose, are "shilling for the place." I have no idea what "shilling" means, but my guess is that it is some sort of insult. I am also guessing that you are a vegetarian who is on some crusade against burger lovers IMHO, Just Burgers is OK and better than McDonald's. LOL....a vegetarian.....now THAT's funny. There are all kinds of clueless tourists mulling about Jomtien. Not surprising a few of them wandered in. Don't bother with this place. Those Denmark burger stands all over the place are better as are just about all the other burger stands around Pattaya. Don't waste your time going out to Jomtien. I suppose some people think this is what passes for an ok burger in Thailand. I know you can do better than this place that's for sure.

Awohalitsiktoli Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 . Ok you are not a vegetarian, sorry, just a test. Yes, there are clueless tourists roaming about all over Jomtien, and Pattaya, and, and, and. I am clueless about Einstein's theory of relativity If you a standing next to Burger King in Pattaya, yes, no need to go all the way to Jomtien to Just Burgers What most posters are saying, I think, is that if you are already in Jomtien and need an inexpensive burger fix, the place is OK. And it is on the beach. Of course you can find better hamburgers and you will pay two to three times the price! One thing I have found to be true at virtually all the places that are serving burgers is that the meat is too dry (not enough fat content). For the record, I have never had a burger in Thailand that is like what we make back home in the USA. The main reason is the dryness of the meat. I am not an expert on this, but I think there is a proper ratio of meat to fat that makes a great burger and that most of the meat that is being used in Thailand for burgers does not have enough fat content.

pauljones Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The Burger at the Marriott Hotel is by far the best I've had in Thailand. They have an awesome little bar/restaurant.

Spoonman Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The best burgers in Pattaya were from Cafe Uno on the darkside, sadly the place is no longer with the owner now living in BKK managing The ClubHouse Sports Bar & Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) This thread should be renamed...."Best burger in Pattaya and that is why the place went out of business".....Which is my whole point. You cannot get the quality without the price going up and nobody stays in business doing that unless you are a mega chain like Burger King....who's food (and I use that term very loosely) barely passes the legal definition of food btw.

poanoi Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Do you have any documentation to support your allegation that Burger King's food "barely passes the legal definition of food btw." or was it just trolling -> ? I think Burger King makes good burgers, better than anything else i tried in Asia, (except my gf's) only thing i want to add is mustard, so do they have it in case i ask for it ?

Nobody doubts that the price will go up. What they may - and should - doubt is whether the Cheap Charlies of Pattaya are willing to pay for it. In Phuket , Chiang Mai, Pnom Penn and Singapore the expat community is more sophisticated and willing to pay, within reason, a bit more for a better burger. Sadly the perception is that most Russians and beer drinkers who are here don't care a fig about food(and even in Bangkok I am amazed at how poor western food often is).

Jingthing Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Personally, I am willing to pay more for burger quality if I am actively SOLD on it. Charge more fine, but make it clear the beef and cheese ingredients are specially imported or at least sourced from the better Thai options, the bun sourced from the finest, then show a picture of how wonderful it is and say it WILL look like the picture, not that it won't, etc., etc. As it is now, I basically don't eat burgers here mostly because of the awful beef. There is a new burger menu in town at the Bourbon Street restaurant on Jomtien 2nd Road/Soi 5. The prices are not cheap and they have fancy options. However, there is no mention that they are offering decent beef, so I am not tempted. Edited October 23, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, all the burger joints pointed out in this post that have gone out of business. I don't know how much more evidence you need. But at this point if you can't read between the lines you are not interested in the truth. Still convinced you can get your Grade A American beef top of the line burger in Thailand for 50baht or whatever.

EvilDrSomkid Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Interesting how my review of Just Burgers was completely ignored... Instead, a bunch folks just keep bitching and moaning about 'clueless' tourists in Patters/Jomtien and how HORRIBLE all the burgers are. <deleted> guys. I repeat, for 105 baht, it was quite good. I have seen and had worse for more money. edit: On another note, I had a nice Massaman curry at a place called something or other Va. Near Soi 11.

tamsom Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Just to get it out of the way, Mos burgers is alive and well in Terminal 21. Obviously, the challenge is to get good beef. I am amazed at the quality of beef in Laos, Phnom Penh, and Viet Nam; I think that Thailand can do better. Kudos for the man who has opened Just burgers because it is a simple concept that fills a need. Back to the beef: does one take "French beef" steak and grind it up? Since pork is top quality in Pattaya, perhaps, as another poster suggested, a mixture may be in order...something moist. Experimentation may be in order. The vast majority of Thai beef is not aged; killed and sent out the same day. I buy steaks from a butcher, and they are okay. The prices seem reasonableat Just Burger.

dogtim Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Back in 1960's UK I loved Wimpy burgers. A Wimpy was beef, Delta was pork and a Bender was some sort of sausage. Don't think Wimpy Bars exist anymore, thanks I suppose, to the McDonalds invasion which started in Woolwich mid 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, let's go for a nice inexpensive burger at the Mariott. I'm gonna go there and find out what this burger costs just for a laugh. Then after I post it I will watch as the shills try tell me you can get the same thing at Just Burger or wherever. You people are hilarous. Just go to Oz burger corner of Buakao & Diana. Austrailian Beef, reasonable price. Done! But of course don't expect the same as the 500baht hard rock burger or Mariott which I suspect is similar quality/price.
