Fake reviews removed

A Sasebo burger institution since 1951. Only 2 directly-managed locations, no franchise. Selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Hamburger Restaurants 2024. The Special Burger—cheese, bacon, egg with sweet original mayo—is the signature dish. A genuine local icon in this former US Navy base city for over 70 years.

Tabelog 3.51 / 446 reviews / Hamburger 100 Best 2024. Yahoo Maps 4.24 / 173 reviews. Regulars say 'the sweet mayo is addictive,' 'always stop here when in Sasebo,' 'flavor unchanged in 70+ years.' Queues continue after December 2024 price revision.
