A burger joint that serves fresh-off-the grill, legendary burgers is every guy’s dream… Fortunately that dream is now a reality.
Let me present to you, Backyard Burgers. I’ll tell you upfront: nothing fancy schmancy about this place. True to its name, it’s like you’re just at someone’s backyard; just out in the open.
Just right smack in the middle of downtown Davao, it is located at E. Quirino Avenue (inside Pard’s Compound).
Not only do they have a magnificent array of gourmet burgers to choose from, you can actually make your own burger! Yes! You can have your own CUSTOMIZED burger! How cool is that?! You can check out their menu here and find out different ways on how to customize your own burger.
And when I say customize, you can also command the doneness of your burger steak. I always like my steaks medium rare so that’s how I had my burger done. Never in my life have I been to a burger joint that does this (maybe because I’ve been living under a rock since 1989). My mind completely blown!
As I was busying taking photos of everything, I didn’t know our food was already there. Talk about fast and efficient service. Say hello to my boyfriend pouring root beer into our cups. I like root beer. Don’t judge.
I honestly wanted to steal those cups. If I’m not mistaken, they were porcelain. Backyard Burgers keepin’ it classy and eco-friendly too.
Voila! Our monstrous, heart-stopping burgers. Especially made for hungry men and foodies who-don’t-give-a-damn-about-calories like me.
You know it’s going to be a good burger if the burger patty is 100% fresh, pure beef with none of those silly extenders. And their burger patty is just that.
Look at the size of that thing… Ridiculous. By the way, what do you guys think of my new face? 😀
This is my boyfriends BB Japanese Oishii Burger. Sandwiched between two toasted black sesame seed buns: a thick and juicy 100% pure beef patty, a lettuce leaf, a few onions rings, some seaweed shreds, a slice of bacon, a slice of melted Cheddar cheese and a drizzle of wasabi-mayo sauce. The wasabi-mayo gave just the right amount of spiciness to the burger.
I have to be frank, the quirky toppings are definitely not for everyone. And as much as I like Japanese food, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. However, my boyfriend enjoyed it very much. There’s nothing wrong with the burger… I’m just kind of a burger purist.
My BB Philly Cheese Steak Burger. This has got to be the best burger I’ve tried in my life so far. Inside the burger: a thick and juicy 100% pure beef patty, a slice of cheese, roasted peppers, a lettuce leaf, some caramelized onions and thinly-sliced pieces of steak (as if the patty wasn’t enough) which were absolutely soft to the bite; all drizzled with some specialty sauce. I just love everything about this burger! Definitely a must-try for everybody!
Writing this post is making miserable and “hangry”. How I wish I could just fly to Davao and grab a BB burger (or two) right now.
If you’re a burger lover (or even if you’re not), consider adding Backyard Burgers on your checklist when in Davao. You simply cannot afford to miss their delicious charcoal-grilled burgers! Prices usually range between 150~250.
