The evolution of Burgers as a favourite street food option has led to a frenzied pace of development and diversification. Now there are many versions of our favourite burger, but the classic and the original always have a different place in our heart. And if there is an ideal place to taste your favourite dish in an original version and with the aroma of the American South, it is the impressive Sam Burgers in Koukaki.
The new space at the junction of Dimitrakopoulou and Zinni streets, fiery red detailed, leaves you no room for second thoughts. Retro pop style, vivid colours, rock n’ roll, funky groove and disco rhythms, with special miniatures of Sam’s personal collection from Memphis testify to the path of his life. Sam, with his cheerful nature, after a series of trips and a long stay in Memphis, drew on all the know-how and the quintessence of the original burger and brogth back to Greece the culinary philosophy of the American South.
Authentic American recipes, classic and special, starring the 100% fresh ground beef patty that goes through a special cutting process and enriched in the unique way Sam was taught in Memphis, fine handmade sauces that make a difference and homemade bun based on a top secret recipe are the ingredients that make Sam and his creations unforgettable.
Classic options that we all loved, the Sam burger with a handmade juicy beef patty, melted cheddar, mayonnaise, Mississippi BBQ sauce, crispy bacon and delicious caramelized onions and the Cheese burger, with a 150g handmade beef patty, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, tomato, cheddar and onion, in regular as well as XL size for those who want a bit more.
Each of the other burgers in the menu stands out for its explosive combinations of ingredients, while their appearance is impressive, making you impatient until you taste them. The names given mainly by US States and with flavours you can only find in America, such as the Miami burger, with a 150g handmade beef patty, mayonnaise, iceberg, tomato, onion, bacon, cheddar cream, Mississippi BBQ sauce and caramelized onions or the California chicken burger, with fresh chicken fillet liquid smoke, white pickle sauce, bacon and iceberg, will blow your mind from the first bite.
The feast of flavours is completed with the delightful Shrimp and Vegetarian burgers for more refined palates. Variety is encouraged, dishes like the perfect fries or sweet potato fries with special dips and a dreamy Hot dog in a fluffy bun, with sausage, ketchup, mayo and mustard that you’ve never tasted, but also the delicious, golden chicken strips.
Sam Burgers is more than just an ordinary burger joint. It is the epitome of an American diner in the heart of Athens, which through its cinematic atmosphere, flavours and images will transport you to a clip of movie taken from the American South. Just to make the experience even more wholesome a cold Bud or one of the very special Dr. Pepper, Coca Vanilla, Coca Cherry or American Fanta (in flavors, such as exotic, grape, strawberry-kiwi), which you will always find frozen in the fridge. An experience you have to live to get to know what the burger philosophy really means.
