The waiters are great, but the service is slow. It took 30 minutes to get the food. It took even longer to get our milkshakes. I had the single cheeseburger with bacon, a side of fries and a dark chocolate milkshake.
My partner had a double cheeseburger, fries and a vanilla milkshake.
We both added “The works” as toppings. “The Works” include fresh tomato, lettuce and pickles. We both enjoyed our meals.
I love the dark chocolate milkshake. It’s probably the best I’ve had in a while.

Amazing burgers 🍔, very good quality food. Great service. The restaurant is clean and well run. Highly recommended. I tried to give the cashier a tip but she said they are not allowed to accept tips which is weird and disappointing as the staff deserve tips for their great service.
The service is awesome . The burgers are good ! The staff went out their way to make my daughter’s birthday special and let her choose the sound track for the evening! Black eyed peas it was! Go and support this restaurant the burgers are really good .

Staff were wonderful 👌🏼. Burgers were good. Fries were what they were. Milkshakes mediocre, more on the runny side, expected a bit more for R60. Overall I'd give the food a 6.7/10.

BGR is a contender. Don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of place you'd go for a photoshoot. It's plain, not much to look at, and you probably won't find it popping up on your Instagram feed anytime soon. But, if you're after a seriously good burger, then this joint has got you covered.
They've narrowed their focus down to basically just burgers - and that's their strength. They do burgers, and they do them really well. It's like they've taken all the frills and fluff you'd find at fancier spots like Big Mouth, Salvation Caffe, or Pablo House, stripped it all away and put everything into making a top-notch burger.
But the best part? Your wallet's going to love this place. Prices at BGR are a lot easier on the pocket than those other places, but the quality? Still up there with the best.
So if you're after a great burger without all the bells and whistles, BGR is worth a visit. It might not be the prettiest, but it sure does deliver when it comes to taste.
My favourite burger in Johannesburg! No fuss no frills just burger - I love it. The place is not super fancy but enough to enjoy your food. The service is great. I find lunch time to be a better time to “dine in” as opposed to dinner.

Burgers were bland. They also kept falling apart, hard to get a proper bite with everything in. Everything was also extremely overpriced- if I’m paying R60 for a regular sized milkshake at a fast food joint then I’m expecting double cream but, nope, just regular runny shake. The fries were also underwhelming and overpriced .
The whole experience was disappointing for a place that supposedly has some of the best burgers in town!

Found a slice of 'In n' Out' at BGR, South Africa. Best burgers in Jo'Brug hands down. Beef patties are super fresh (not frozen) and they have a free of charge lemonade refill system which I love! Highly recommend
Used to love this place and thought the burgers and fries were amazing...but tonight was a disappointment. Chips were undercooked and soggy, burger patty was quite tasteless and despite asking for no pickles, ended up with pickles on my burger. Might try again if in the area but won't be making an effort to go back.

The most amazing service. Staff let’s you taste drink options if you’re indecisive. The burgers had me salivating, and they taste even better than they look.
