Phat Burger — Restaurant in Upolu

Talk about a hidden, chill spot to grab a burger. We went late on a Saturday night and honestly thought we'd taken a wrong turn ending up at some abandoned industrial site. Nope, cue chic treehouse esq styled joint with a chilled vibe. It was very packed when we went but Phat Burger have a generous establishment to cater for the crowds. The menu is vast and includes some delicious ingredient combos you'd likely see at, for example, an Aussie fave, Grilled but obviously throwing up some amazing Samoa style twists in there e.g. fish luau. We ordered from the beef burgers section but am definitely going for the chicken section next time. Baby boss is just right if you're not too hungry. Super flavoursome and mouthwatering burgers. Only managed 1 pic of the food, which does no justice...we were too hungry to snap more 🤣 The table service is great, up with the latest tech to take orders, and the staff are super friendly and quick to check on each table. The Taula towers are a bonus, especially when you're with a group. Love seeing places like this pop up around the motherland, keeping up with trends, creating jobs, and as a tourist...offering some creature comforts to the not so adventurous eaters out...

We were in Samunda from jun 23rd 23 til jul 11th. Staying in the family village, Utualii. 19 of us, there celebrating our fathers 75th birthday.

We met the owner at the fish market. We were so surprised because hes pakeha/nz european and has been living in samoa for 7yrs, building his business Phat Burger. He was such a chill and enthusiastic guy. We told him we will see him later on. When we arrived,they had already set our table up for us,about 15 of us. The service was quick, smooth and relaxed. The food was fresh and delicious. A few of our boys/men had The Big Uso burger,DEFINITELY PHAT!!! It was a huge tower and the record to finish was 4 mins and 30 secs,but the boys jus enjoyed and all ended up in food comas lol.The Dominator was anutha fave, they had mac n cheese dippers that were yum,i ordered with blue cheese sauce on the side, the fish burgers werw fresh, the oka/raw fish was so tender,so fresh and so delish, the vai kipolo/lemonade was our best we had tasted on our trip. We went bk about 3 or 4 times because the food and service was that good. Everything was prepared and made FRESH! If youre visiting Samoa/Samunda, Phat Burger is a must see/try, you wont be...

Went there for a last minute dinner and was happy because they had a MASSIVE car park which is often half the issue. We were seated in the restaurant and our orders were taken pretty quickly via their devices/iPad which seemed efficient and promising. Drinks came quickly and not long after that came the food. Let's be clear, we weren't there to look for a should-be-vegan, must-be-gluten-free, lactose-free, don't-eat-this, don't-eat-that, only-serve-me-meat-from-the-highlands-of-Afiamalu-cornfed-by-the-monks-of-Falelatai, type meal. We wanted burgers. And we got burgers. Congrats team. All four of our kids gave a thumbs up as well and so we'll definitely be back. Mālõ lava.

UPDATE: Delivery Experience Keeping this factual. Ordered at 8:17 PM, Burgers arrived at 9:37 PM and daughter apologized to us as she thought there were meant to be fries like when we dined in last week. She was right because there were meant to be but these were forgotten and so they eventually got here (hot which meant they were re-made) at 10:58 PM. Hence the rating for our most recent experience. Fries were left on the bench since everyone had...
