This month for Eloquence Magazine, I’ll be reviewing Hamburgers. I want to do a comprehensive review and cause a bit of a scandal by ranking them. But before I do that I would love your feedback on where you have had the best burger in Seoul. I am listing a bunch of restaurants in no particular order.
The Wolfhound (Itaewon)
Gecko’s Terrace (Itaewon)
Daily Kings (Bundang)
The Aussie Shop (Itaewon)
Richard Copycat’s American Diner (Itaewon)
Jacobeys (Haebangchon)
Indigo (Haebangchon)
Kraze Burger (everywhere)
Freshness Burger (everywhere)
Hard Rock Cafe (Itaewon)
The Outback (Everywhere)
Smokey’s Saloon (Itaewon)
The Corner Bistro (Itaewon)
Is there any missing from the list? In your opinion, which restaurant do you think has the best burger? I mean the complete package: the meat, the bun, the toppings.
I find that the buns in this country are often lacking. Where can you get a good meat to bun ratio in this country? Hmmmm???
Let your voice be heard! We might have to go on a burger excursion, “to do research.”

out back don’t do a burger? but TGI s do
Daniel, I’d stay with Smokey Saloon. Didn’t find anything better. Kraze is ok, but Smokey is bigger and juicer (Hooters does quite a good job, too).

Well, you already know my opinions on Smokey Saloon and Kraze, and you really know how I feel about Wolfhound.
TGI’s burger–I had it last Christmas Eve with my boss. I’ve never had a hamburger put me into a fit of greasy depression until then.
I agree with zenkimchi about the TGI burger– it almost ruined my day, despite being out with three cute girls, back in my first year.
Smokey’s is my fallback: its flaws have been documented, but it’s just the juiciest one that hits the spot.
Ever had the bulgogi burger at lotteria? I stopped after biting into a bit of bone in the patty.
I liked the freshness burger I had, but now I’m gonna have to try the outback burger.
Indigo’s breakfast didn’t impress me (must have taken them a lot of work to pull the Eggo waffles out of the freezer and put them in the toaster. . . and THEN to pull the HASH BROWNs out of the freezer and put THEM in the toaster, too!). . . hope the burgers were better.
I really love the burgers in 3 Alley Pub, which is in the small alley behind the Hamilton Hotel
