LALes Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Stopped in today for the Grand Opening. Had a chili cheeseburger. Yum. I don't know where else you can get a chili burger in Thailand. A bit pricey for the set at 223 baht but I'm not complaining. And that's for a small. They will ask you if you want medium or large and both are extra. Third floor looking out at the beach.

Jingthing Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Was the beef atrocious or horrible? I think the word Yum in the first line of the OP kinda gives you a clue Not really. He seemed psyched about the chili. Many people feel the US fast food chains here use Thai beef so even though it's marketed as a US food product, it's not. OK, in the US you probably get Brazilian beef but that's another matter. I would think for that price for a small burger, you'd expect better beef. So I'm still asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said this is about me? I hate fast food burgers! I am curious though for academic interest if Carl's Jr is doing something different than the other US brands in Thailand in regard to beef quality.

striderman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 they were dishing out flyers today of the menu but without prices (i guess not to put the Thai's off ) cos by the time you are in there and ordering it's a bit late to back out. 3 rd floor on the right hand side overlooking the brazilian place Zico. i think it has a terrace but i need to confirm that. being english i had never heard of this mob till today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohyesuare Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I will check it out, never tried carls jr before. I wonder if it will last since they closed Mos burger and Thais usually like Japanese stuff better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangBuddha Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Dairy Queen burgers were phat...but didn't last If Henieke and his Minor Group couldn't compete with Micky and the King, I don't hold out much hope for Jr. Been getting my fill of good bacon-cheeseburgers this week in Frisco so thing I'll be good for awhile when I get back.

pipo1000 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well,at 223 Bht for a small burger I doubt it will be on my have to do list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LALes Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 223 baht is not a small burger. It is a small combo. That means small drink and small fries. The burger is the same no matter what size combo you order. I don't know what kind of beef they are using but I liked it. Sure, its not going to be Niman Ranch like they use in the best SF burger joints, but I'm OK with it. Where else are you going to get a good burger in Pattaya? Bangkok has a number of good places but I haven't had one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 In the US, Carl's Jr. is one of the better fast food joints quality wise. They are also one of the few that don't sell $1 items on their menu. On the East coast of the US they go by the name of Hardees and are called Carl's Jr. on the west coast. Personally I have always been a fan of their burgers over any other fast food joint. There is a noticeable difference in quality which also translates into a higher price. I will make sure to have a look the next time I'm in Central and if it seems right I'll go for it and drop the cash on a burger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Where else are you going to get a good burger in Pattaya? Am I right in thinking that the Hilton does burgers in one of it's daily 350B lunchtime buffets? If so, it's a fair bet that it will be a good one. Personally I wouldn't pay 5B for a burger as I don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly you will not get good quality meat for less than 100thb a burger if it can be had for that. I keep meaning to try the hilton lunch buffet and telling me they have burgers might be what gets me in there. Thanks for that. led me add that the most popular Carl's Jr burger that has been on the menu since I was a kid is the Western Bacon Cheesburger. Obviously comes with bacon and cheese as well as nice BBQ sauce and fried onion rings on top. It will be hard for me to pass up on one if they have them here in Thailand.

Yes you are right...I remembered that after I posted. So why can't BK burgers be as good as the former DQ burgers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that it's themed and so they have different things every day. Pretty sure that burgers are/were included on one of the days though.

I hope that Carl's Jr. is importing the good stuff from the US, but am not counting on it. Edited June 6, 2012 by Ulysses G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juicy, bacon, cheese burgers. I eat in the bar/lounge or on the terrace overlooking the pool. Compared to Burger King the prices are quite reasonable for what you get.

LALes Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I never thought much of the Hilton buffet. Pretty average stuff. I don't trust them to do a good burger and certainly not at 350 baht. I don't know where Carl's Jr. is getting their meat from, but it tasted pretty good. I ain't complaining. Thanks for the tip about the Marriot. I might have to try their burger. I don't mind spending for quality. When in BKK, I will drop 300 or so on a burger meal with no second thought because I know its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LALes Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 One more thing....when I drop 300 on a burger, I expect them to do it Medium Rare. For that money, you should be getting quality beef that should be shown to its best advantage. Does the Marriot come thru on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
