Doug’s Burger Ishigaki — Restaurant in Ishigaki

Sorry Doug but I think your business is going to go bankrupt. Or at least what your local staff believe because one couple asked for very little ice in there drinks and our request wasn’t respected.

The chips were good and I enjoyed the specially bottled beer they offered. Also cool to learn about the genesis story of Doug’s Burgers n...

Not cheap but we love it. We went to the original location twice while we were in Miyakojima over the summer. On our first night in Ishigaki, our son requested dinner here and it did not disappoint.

I always get the onion rings and also spring for the expensive local beef which does taste better. I’ve also tried the tuna steak burger, which I love.

There is no parking so you have to pay in the nearby coin parking lot, which set us back 1,000 JPY. It’s a little bit hard to find but worth the trip. Everything feels brand...
