Discover a hidden gem near Lampung University that’s causing a stir! This humble roadside stall serves up massive, face-sized burgers with juicy, handmade patties for an incredibly low price. The long lines of students are a testament to its "five-star taste at a street stall price." While the wait can be long, the unbelievable value and flavor make it a must-try spot. Find out why everyone is obsessed and get tips on how to skip the queue.
Honestly, if I hadn't seen that crazy long line of students, I probably would have missed this roadside stall hidden next to the University of Lampung (Unila). The storefront is tiny and looks totally ordinary, but the determined look on everyone's faces in the line basically screamed "I have to eat this today," which totally piqued my curiosity!
One Bite, and I Understood the Joy of a College Student
When it was my turn, I went straight for the signature double chicken burger, and it was only 21k IDR[1]! When I got it, the size, Anjay! It was bigger than my face!
You know why it's so popular after just one bite. This patty is nothing like those cheap, processed frozen ones! It's a handmade patty made by the owner himself[2], super meaty and incredibly juicy. And they load it up with cheese like it's free. The melted cheese covers the patty, paired with crisp veggies, making every bite so satisfying. Mantap! The flavor, it's no exaggeration to call it "a five-star taste at a street stall price."
Don't expect too much from the ambiance, though. It's just a typical roadside stall, but the owner keeps it clean and tidy, and he's super nice[3]. It's mostly students here just to Nongkrong, or they grab it to-go. The place has a great, lively vibe.
Okay, Let's Get Real
While the taste is undeniable, the downsides are also pretty obvious. You really need patience to get a bite here. Waiting for half an hour during peak times is totally normal[4], so if you're impatient, be warned! Also, if you're driving, parking is a bit tight. I'd suggest parking in front of the noodle shop next door, which is more convenient[5].
📝【As Always, Here Are the Highlights】
I've put together a guide to help you out. For those who want to check it out, save this post!
- Don't go too late: This place is super popular and often sells out in the afternoon![6] I suggest going around noon, or you might leave empty-handed.
- Hack for the lazy / socially anxious: If you don't want to wait in line, you can just order on GoFood[7], or! You can pre-order with the owner and just pick it up when you arrive. It's practically a secret hack![8]
- Order recommendation: For your first time, just go straight for the signature burger[9]. One double will keep you full until the evening. It's the king of value for money.
- Not a fan of burgers?: They also have hot dogs[10], and I heard they're just as good. You can give them a try
- Find burgers bigger than your face for just 21k IDR[1] at this stall by Lampung U. Seriously huge portions!
- The soul is the hand-pressed patties[2]—so meaty and juicy, dripping with a crazy amount of cheese. Pure bliss.
