J.S. Burgers Cafe Shinjuku

Have been to many Tokyo burger shops and this is certainly a favourite. I have only been twice so I can’t comment on most of the items on the menu, but here is a list of what makes this place so great: 1) it is the only burger joint I have ever been to with a salad bar - and not only is there a decent variety of salad items, it comes free with your burger! 2) the burgers are good and they serve crisp shoestring fries (instead of mushy wedges!) - also, although the serving of fries is small, they come free with your burger, so unless you really want a lot, there is no need to order any, 3) the staff is very friendly and helpful (came and offered to help when I was looking at the menu, and took my tray just as I stood up to return it), 4) for those who are not into burgers, they have delicious looking sandwiches, 5) it is nice and bright with not one but 2 enclosed terraces (maybe not comfortable in summer and winter), 6) they allow dogs! (not an easy find in Tokyo), and 7) they take reservations - which could certainly come in handy during busy times or for larger groups. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and although is was quite good, I like lots of sauce and for the 1st 2/3 of the burger I wanted a little more. The last few bites were fine, so I’m not sure if I needed more sauce or if it simply needed to be better distributed over/within the burger. Just a minor quip. I highly recommend this place and will certainly be returning.
