The foundation of the BurgerAMT menu. The patty is ground in-house and griddled until the edges are crispy. The bun is toasted and brushes quickly with butter. It's a simple burger done well, and the topping options let you customize the flavor profile.
Tips from diners
Build your own burger from the topping list—the kitchen makes it to order.
One of the most popular burgers on the menu. The gorgonzola is salty and sharp, and the caramelized onions bring sweetness and depth. The combination is more refined than typical burger shop fare, and the cult following around this burger is justified.
Tips from diners
This is the burger everyone orders. Try it once, then branch out to other combinations.
Every burger comes with fries. BurgerAMT cuts them thick and fries them twice for the perfect texture—crispy exterior, tender interior. The salt is applied just after frying when they're still hot.
Tips from diners
Order extra fries and dip them in the sauce—it's the best part of the meal.
The vegetarian option that doesn't feel like a consolation prize. Halloumi has a high melting point, so it stays firm and slightly crispy on the outside. Paired with roasted vegetables and a good sauce, it's a burger that meat-eaters will steal bites from.
Tips from diners
If you're vegetarian, don't apologize—the halloumi burger is excellent.
A departure from beef. The lamb patty has more flavor and a slightly gamier taste. Paired with tzatziki and fresh herbs, it's the kind of burger that changes people's minds about what burgers can be.
Tips from diners
Order lamb and beef burgers together to try different proteins.
BurgerAMT opened at Krossener Straße 21-22 near Boxhagener Platz in 2008 and has become a Friedrichshain institution known for hip-hop and burgers. The kitchen makes their own patties: beef, lamb, and chicken versions, plus six vegetarian options using halloumi or house-made vegetable patties (never factory-frozen). They pair the burgers with craft beer and their own sauce variations. The vibe is deliberately edgy and alternative.
No reservation needed for lunch. Weekday evenings and all day Saturday fill up, so expect a small wait during peak hours.
Come at 11:30am on weekdays to catch the tail end of the breakfast menu and avoid the lunch rush.
Burgers are €9.50-12. Add fries (€4.50) and a beer (€4-6), and you're at €18-22 per person for a full meal.
