Est.1920 Burger&Beer — Restaurant in Bang Bua Thong Town Municipality

I ordered the Extreme Bacon Cheesy Lava Burger. The wait seemed long, but it was not. It was the excitement and eagerness I had going on that made time stretched. The burger was finally served. The burger was stacked tall. The bun looked excellent. It had the looks of being lightly oil brushed and had a shine. There was a tad of elegant charring top of the dome. It also had the slight wrinkles caused by cooling after being heated on the griddle. Soft to the touch, it crumbled but not fracture. This ain’t no average supermarket bun, it was soft and had a fluff. A good carefully sourced bun or it could be home made, I don’t know. But it was good. Below the fresh leafy greens, the lava cheese envelops the patty like a translucent glistening skin. I went for it, waited no more.

Zero to heaven in 0.3 nano seconds. It was at that exact point in space time continuum that I bid farewell to all my other burger places. My mind was going OMG so loud that if you stood near my head, you would hear my brain shouting out of my ears. The beef was excellent!!! It was perfect!!! It was juicy, not dry. It was spiced right, not blend. It was a good thickness, well balanced with the vertical ratios of bun, bacon, leafy greens and all other secret tantalizing whatever that was in there. It gave instant gratification when I bit into it. Plus, there was the sauteed caramelized onions which carried the umami of the griddle.

The next day I dragged my family here. And this time I had the Sweet ‘n’ Sour Burger which is apparently a signature of the house. It had double patties. Again, it was no disappointment. When I was eating it, I was in a world of my own, totally oblivious to the presence of my noisy kid and wife. It was a challenge for my mouth, the height of this burger. Already I had pressed it down somewhat, but the patties fought to stay in position as I chomped on it. The sauces and cheese oozed onto my hands, the oily bits fell. It was a mess, and this is the way my good burger should be. Greasy, a fall from grace to eat, you lose whatever decent elegance you have. Yes, burger, you are my kind of burger.

The size of the burger may look trivial at first but don’t be fooled. It really fills your tummy right and it is a good “Asian” size. Sometimes, oversized farang portions, no matter how good, will tend to taste bad when you overfeed. Est does it just right, not too big, not too small. Perfect!!! We also had the pork ribs. It was rubbed well, the marinate permeated the meat. It was cooked right to show pink and was tender. A plus point was that there was no gamey odor. But it was not those ribs that just falls of the bone from delicate slow cooking kind. And it ain’t those that underwent a final smoke and saucing. Thus, there was no freckles of caramelization which should have introduced some sweet crunch to compliment the soft tenderness of the well-cooked meat. Well, perhaps, this is Est’s style and what is popular with the local folks here. We also had the 1920’s Homemade Chicken Wings. The seasoning was heavy and carried the taste of a far away land. It was well infused with the zesty sauce, but yet was able to retain the crispiness of a deep fry. Excellence to the wings as well. Thick crinkle cut fries accompanied the burgers. Well, they do have that golden brown crunchy outside but the insides could have been more floury. Perhaps it is the potato variety we are limited to in Thailand, perhaps it is the brand of chips they sourced.

Burgers here, it was exceedingly genuine through and through. Est, where have you been all my life in Thailand??? I finally found you. It beats all burgers I had in hotels. Normally hotels with their foreign chefs is where I sometimes get a satisfying burger. But I don’t need no hotels no more now, I don’t need no Burger...

We ordered 2 burgers and 1 side(chees potate wedges) and food here was very impressive especially the special they used for tgere burger, we have to lick our fingers lol! I recommend you guys to go full beef if you can and you won't be disappointed. However, the size of tables and seats are quite small(because of small area but could be bigger), service here was acceptable(they seem busy behind the counter, you may have to shout to call them), and pretty slow cooking (but worth waiting for!) Overall, I recommended you guys to sit here, have a burger and beer after your...

Very very very poor quality food. Highly overpriced. Extremely poor service.

80 bhat for microwaved frozen wedges Other customers. Received similar food before me even though I was first. They Charge money for the sauce which was of very very poor quality and is usually free at most places.
