Dukes Burgers calls themselves “the unrivalled burger experience”, and for me, that is the absolute truth.
There are those times when all you feel like is a real burger; one that satisfies on all levels, and I can be sure of getting just that at Dukes.
I order…
The New Yorker is my standard order – BBQ basting, melted cheddar and homemade mayo. At Dukes, it is about burgers and nothing else.

This is a hidden gem, and their burgers are to die for. I love a spot where I am completely comfortable – where I can feel at home while enjoying the experience of being out, and that is what I get there.
There is always a great vibe, and everyone gets on with everyone else.
I order…
The Gourmet English Burger, which has bacon, cheese, egg and all the yumminess.
Cape Town
Jerry’s Burger Bar on Kloof

This place has it all: an incredible atmosphere in a great location, slick service from waitrons with loads of personality, a massive variety of burgers, unique flavour combinations and, most importantly, a great tasting patty. All these elements combined make it an experience not to be missed by burger lovers!
I order…
The Sloth Burger, which is a beef patty stuffed with cheddar cheese and jalapeno, and topped with avocado and bacon (try reading that without salivating…)
Port Elizabeth

The food is amazing. They prepare everything fresh and from scratch.
I order…
The Feta is Better, which is their classic burger with a feta sauce, but if I am honest, there are still so many options that I want to try!
