You feel like you’re on Route 66 at an American restaurant, but you’re actually at N14 at Hoogstraatsebaan in ‘Eastmalle’. Thanks to the new burgerlicius burgers, freeshakes, curly fries, hot dogs and sponge nachos, you can land in the US without taking off.

Danrico Bonberg and his crew are busy as we enter Burgerlicious. A young woman comes to pick up the order she just sent via SMS, where there are paper bags full of food waiting for home delivery. “We have been operating since April 1, and have noticed that some customers want to have their orders delivered to their home in the evening rush hour because they can not find a parking space or get stuck in traffic.” We arrived in an emergency, however, and immediately found a parking lot near Town Square.

With graffiti wall and regular decor, burgerlicius breathes the atmosphere of an American snack bar. “There are plenty of deep fryers. If you want to be surprised, you have to try to differentiate yourself, ”explains Danrico. “We chose this place because we live nearby, and there are a lot of students here.”
The burgerlicius has about seven seats – a bar with a lot of stool and a table for four people – and of course there is a carry-on facility.

The box loaded with fries, onions, tomatoes, pickles, sauces, cheese burger, mayonnaise and ketchup is nowhere to be found in the Flemish chip shop. The classic burger (beef burger, lettuce, tomato, BBQ sauce) costs 10 euros, but you can upgrade your burger as much as you want. What would a Kentucky burger with chicken burger, cucumber, tomato, red onion, truffle mayonnaise, pretzel burger or Root 66 burger pork, fried mushrooms and caramelized onion look like? Big food burgers include Bigfoot Burger, Grand Canyon Burger and The Over the top Burgerlicius, the latter being no less than three beef burgers. The same concept extends to hot dogs, milkshakes, freakshakes and finger foods including nachos and chicken wings. Missing real American pancakes.
There are still balloons from the opening. ⁇ © km
Vegetarian card
What BurgerLisius is most proud of is the comprehensive vegetarian diet that is similar to the size of the burger menu. From vegan veggies to sponge nachos and sweet potato fries: even vegetarians struggle with the pressure of choice on burgerlicius.
