Burger Circus’s looks and feels like a ‘blast from the past!’ Its old-school dining experience is like something right from the set of the 1978 hit film, Grease, which is mixed with the reminiscent interior design of the 19th century railway dining cars. The restaurant is known as Central’s classic American hamburger joint, which is located just off the escalators on Hollywood Road.
The old-school theme is the soul of Burger Circus, which is greatly important to one of the owners, Chris. Originally from Toronto, Chris’s family owned a diner, which also possessed all the simplicities and beauty of a mid-century restaurant. This theme brings a touch of charm to Hong Kong’s vibrant district area of Soho.
Burger Circus’s menu can only be described as irresistible! It comprises juicy grilled burgers, the freshest of sandwiches, crispy, full fries and moreish desserts. Beverages include creamy milkshakes of all flavours and homemade old-fashioned American soda pop that were once iconically found in soda palours within traditional pharmacies.
Burger Circus’s timeless favourites include the 5oz beef patty, which are layered with crispy lettuce, fresh tomatoes and the specialised ‘Circus sauce’. If that doesn’t sound appetising enough, customers can try the daring Whole Show, which also consists of a 5oz beef patty, but this time additions a fried egg, American cheese, pickled beetroot, onions, lettuce, tomato and spicy mayo. The American restaurant also serve ‘Fried and Side’ dishes, which includes onion rings and cream filled jalapeno poppers.
Hong Kong’s Burger Circus also has a menu to help patrons escape from the midday-slump with their ‘Circus Lunch’ combo. For only 88HK$, guests can enjoy a USDA Prime three-way chuck 5oz burger and a homemade soda. However, the Circus Lunch is only available Monday to Friday from 11am to 2pm
This Lunch combo has a variety of options for all food lovers. Single patty burgers are available for a simple enjoyment, cheese lovers can opt for the ‘Magicians Maytag Blue, a 5oz patty, topped with intense Maytag blue cheese, crispy bacon, savoury onions, lettuce and tomatoes. Patrons who like their burger with a bit of a kick can indulge into the enchanting ‘Emerald Wizard’ - topped with green chilies, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing, but be warned, this burger is not for the faint-hearted.
The in-house preservative soda is made daily and consists of 5 different refreshing flavours! All sodas are made from only the finest ingredients and homemade syrups. If customers have a sweet tooth, they can enjoy the fruit sodas on offer such as ‘Cherry Limeade’ or ‘Passionfruit Pineapple’, while traditionalists have the option of Burger Circus’s classic ‘Cola’, which is caramel coloured with a touch of zest and is actually based on Coca-Cola inventor John Pemberton’s original recipe. All these magnificent flavoured sodas accompany perfectly with any burger.
Each burger is consistently excellent through the method of grounding fresh beef to ensure quality. The burgers are all served on a fresh homemade bun with fresh crunchy lettuce and succulent tomatoes.
The Circus Lunch is available to sit in or takeaway, to fit even the busiest of schedules.
