Discover BURGER SHOT, Malang's "all-black" burger joint where the food is the star. Forget taking photos in the dim, dark interior and focus on the main event: incredibly thick and juicy beef patties that explode with flavor. While it's a bit pricey for the area and parking is a challenge, the generous portions and high-quality ingredients make it a must-visit for serious burger enthusiasts. Dive into options like the signature beef or the cheese-loaded Volcano Burger for pure, high-calorie happiness.
Guys, I was truly "shocked" during my foodie tour in Malang this time. This place, BURGER SHOT, was hyped up to the sky by my local friends. I rushed over full of anticipation, and the result... this place is so dark! 😂
The entire wall is painted pitch black, the lighting is dim, and the space is tiny[1]. For all the girls who want to take pretty photos for their feed, you can just skip this one. It's really not a great spot for pictures, I tried my best.
Don't mind the ambiance, get straight to the food!
BUT! The moment I got my burger, I instantly forgave everything! I ordered the signature Beef Patty Burger[2], and the patty was so thick, Anjay! When I took a bite, the juices just exploded in my mouth. It's the kind of 100% pure beef patty where you can taste the real flavor of the meat, nothing like the dry "patties" from fast-food chains.
The bun was also super soft, and you can choose between regular, black, or whole wheat buns[3]. My cheese-lover friend who was with me ordered the Volcano Burger[4]. The amount of cheese was overflowing, it was the peak of high-calorie happiness! Mantap!
Let's get real (here come the complaints)
To be fair, the price isn't cheap for Malang. A single burger is about 38k, and if you add a combo, it's heading towards 50k+[5]. But considering the quality of the patty and the generous portion size, I think this "bleeding" of my wallet was worth it.
The biggest complaint is the parking space, there's seriously so little of it! If you go by car, you'll be searching for a spot until you question your existence. I honestly recommend going by motorcycle[6], or you'll go crazy.
Tips to avoid pitfalls & a quick guide 📝
- Transportation: Don't drive! Going by motorcycle is the most Chill option, it's convenient!
- Ordering: Meat lovers, go straight for the double or even triple patty! For those who like to try new things, you can try their lamb burger, the Lamb Bamba[7]. I heard the meat is also very tender. My personal advice is to ask for less sauce to better appreciate the flavor of the patty itself.
- What to do: Forget about taking photos on the first floor. If you want to Nongkrong and chat with friends, you can go to the second floor. It's more private, and they also have darts to play[8].
- Hidden Easter Egg: They actually accept Dirham (an Islamic silver coin) for payment[9], isn't that cool? First time seeing this
- The Beef Patty Burger's patty is Anjay-thick! 100% pure beef, it explodes with real, meaty juice in every bite[1].
- Cheese lovers must get the Volcano Burger. Cheese flows like lava—the ultimate calorie bomb bliss. Mantap![2]
- They accept Dirham (Islamic silver coin) payments[3]—a first for me! So incredibly cool
