Only 3 kinds of meat are offered at Burger Up and they are beef, chicken and fish. Like the meat, three types of buns are available. The joint though, offers interesting sauces. Think oriental, citrus and black pepper mayonnaise to slather on your burger.
Not keen on customising? Burger Up also serves up their own house burgers along with rice sets.

We wouldn’t suggest picky eaters to visit due to the limited choice of meat and bun types. However, if you’re a fan of simplicity then Burger Up is definitely up your street.
Burger Up Head back to the days of retro dining with a modern twist. At Fatboy’s The Burger Bar, the sky’s the limit when it comes to customising your burger. The burger joint offers 4 different types of buns and patties for customers.
Price range: $6- $13 (Depending on what you order)

Not in the mood to DIY? Fret not as Fatboy’s also offers great mains. Take on the Fat Basterd which comes with 2 beef chuck patties or Maholo which comes with a bacon stuffed pork patty. Sides like Beer Battered Onion Rings and Jalapeno Poppers are also some unique offerings by the burger joint.
Fatboy’s The Burger Bar If you’re looking for anything other than you own creation, good luck.

6. The Burger Bar

If this joint sounds really familiar, it’s probably because it has the same name as Fatboy’s. Started by The Muttons (DJs on Class 95FM) and co-owner of Fatboy’s is The Burger Bar where only whatever you want matters.
Despite being touted as the cheaper version of Fatboy’s due to the fact that only yours and a few basic burgers are on the menu, The Burger Bar doesn’t skimp on quality. It provides the same number of toppings (25), sauces (11), and types of buns and patties you can choose from. A cheaper alternative with equally good standards? Yes please!
Ordering is absolutely fuss-free with iPads made available at the counter.
