Created by locals and loved by locals, Bitzes Burger has gone from a cool food truck to a buzzing restaurant. The menu includes beef and chicken burgers as well as hot dogs. The main event is the Smash Burger, which comes with an Angus beef patty, cheese slices, sauce, vegetables and a potato bun. If you’re in the mood for sharing, the burgers can be served as a regular size or sliders – the slider boxes are especially popular.
Century Burger

All buns at Century Burger are made in-house and have a fluffy texture, making it that much more gratifying to bite into. The crispy chicken burger is a must-try, and so is the truffle burger. But don’t leave without trying their Spicy Burger; the beef patty with cheese, crispy onion, pickles, and jalapeno sandwiched between special spicy bread will set your tongue on fire, all in good fun of course.

Crave

Crave is one of the best burgers in Jeddah for its meaty simplicity. Only one type of burger was available when it first opened, with the only variation being the number of patties that you’d like – single, double, or triple. It has since expanded its menu, though. Definitely go for the original; it’s basic and fuss-free with just flame-grilled beef patty, lettuce, pickles, cheese and its secret sauce, but by no means less appetising and appealing. Or go for the Remix Burger that entails a moist, aromatic, peppery veal patty and all the typical accoutrements you could ever want – loads more satisfying.
Crave, Al Bouraidi, Al Andalus, Jeddah 23326, daily 11am to 3am. Tel: 9200 07138. @crave_ksa
Hamburgini

When a brand names themselves after one of the leading fast cars, they have to deliver when it comes to leading in fast food – and Hamburgini’s menu certainly does. Purists will want to go for the Single, Double or Triple Hamburgini. If you’re all about that meat, there are bunless burgers that come wrapped in lettuce. Accompany your meat-fest with fries just the way you like, as you can choose from sweet potato, thin, thick, fresh cut and cheese fries.
Hamburgini, 6437 Prince Sultan Road, An Naim District, Jeddah. Tel: 9200 05341.
