"Classic Burger Joint: A Burger's Portrait"

"Days are passing, the world is improving and Lebanon’s culinary sector is raising the bar higher and higher. Just close your eyes and remember what we used to eat couple of years ago. Where could we find the best burger? Did we ever ask for Augus beef? The Pain D’Or bread was the highest quality available. Organic vegetables? In Lebanon? Did you ever dream of eating endives planted in our own soil? 2011 was the year of change, the year of improvements, the year when harsh competition and the journey of the survival of the fittest began..."

"Great location, excellent service, wonderful experience"

"In a place where hundreds of options are available to anyone who is hungry, a small group of us chose the Classic Burger Joint in Downtown Beirut.

"Speaking of burger joints, Classic Burger in Sodeco or the one in Jal el Dib is the only place to go as far as I'm concerned to have a really good burger, I mean good in every way, the meat, the way its cooked, the fries, the buns, everything..."

"Classic Burger Joint... They never let you down!"

"As we all "burger addicts" know that at CBJ, they are grilling turkey burgers from 19NOV till 27 NOV, so i decided to go tonight with my friends especially to taste it! We went there (Sodeco Branch) and as usual, there was no place!"

"Les burgers à l'assaut de Beyrouth"

"Cette enseigne, première au Liban à utiliser le mot "burger" dans son nom, a introduit le concept du "sur-mesure" offrant au client la possibilité de créer son propre burger avec les ingrédients de son choix pour un ticket moyen de 15 dollars. Cette enseigne a sans doute joué le rôle de liaison entre le diner américain classique que le marché local connaissait bien et les nouveaux lieux cultes du Burger..."

"Yummy! That's the unanimous verdict we reached on this, the latest addition to the burger market."

"The menu is ideal for dining out even with the most finicky of broods; it's a simple affair with a variety of meat and chicken in moreish flavours (the gooey Swiss 'N' Mushroom is to die for, as is the honey mustard chicken). The starters also appeal – we couldn't resist some killer mozzarella sticks (killer in both taste and calories)..."

"Donald and his burger joint made it on MTV."

""

"The first thing that struck me was the bun. Big, spongy, shiny and speckled with seeds."

"I'm not a fan of toppings, but they were fresh and plentiful. The fries were crunchy and flavorsome. The patty was fat and substantial, but was not "meaty" enough for me. I'm a meat guy, so it's got to taste like meat. Don't get me wrong, they have all the right to claim to have some of the best burgers in town hands down, but it's a little too civilized for me, a little to watered-down..."

"Classic Burger Joint Opens in Jal el Dib."

"One awesome thing that's different though is that the place is packed, but there was no 30 or 40-minute cue like in Sodeco. It seems not enough people know about the Jal el Dib branch yet, or that the first bout of excitement has passed, with CBJ becoming the familiar favorite you can go to anytime, instead of the must-try craze you need to go to now..."

A gourmet escapade across the oceans."

"Then we got older, and we travelled and saw the world and all the burgers it had to offer. And we needed something more. That's when Classic Burger came to town, offering up a New York style burger joint in the heart of Beirut. They banned smoking, and tarted up the place to feel like a mid-town Manhattan eatery..."

"The fries are amazing there, and so is the bun."

"The tables are really close to each other, you'd practically be a few centimeters away from the tabel next to you, with 'Teta' (the manager and founder, a guy by the way) very amicably greeting you and making sure everything's ok, adding a personal touch to the sometimes too-professional and too-lukewarm service in most restaurants in Lebanon..."
