Having lived in Thailand for some time, you can't help but crave for any sort of fast-food "pick me ups." For the people who come here on vacation, Mc Donald's or Burger King might just be enough to tide over this feeling until their plane ride back to the U S of A, but for those of us who are looking for something more will have a hard time with the choices available here in Bangkok. A delicious tasting Hamburger in Thailand is about as rare an honest Tuk Tuk driver.
The shop was smaller than expected, but had a very friendly atmosphere to it. There are 2 small picnic style tables, I would say that you could sit around 8 diners without getting too uncomfortable. The shop has 3 staff excluding the owner (Mark) if I remember correctly, and you can see your food being made just over the counter top.

I arrived at around 11:30, hungry from reading all the reviews about this place and the Metro Burger thats supposedly one of the best in town, unfortunately we had a slight dining delay due to the gas not being delivered on time (Which might actually be expected, having lived here in Thailand all my life and having the delivery guys turn up an hour late even though they said they were 5 minutes away).
Their website is http://www.bbqsandwichking.co.th/ if you need directions.
Anyways Mark was very open to discussion and friendly, offered us drinks and an appetizer for the short wait and we browsed the menu to see what we would be ordering.

The Menu can be found on their website, but off the top of my head I remember seeing tater tots, hot dogs, alcoholic as well as non alcoholic drinks, quesadillas and of course, burgers. Chicken / Pork / Beef depending on your personal preferences.
I ordered the Chicken Quesadillas and Metro Burger. I think I will let the photos do the talking for now.

Overall the burger was enjoyable, much better than what you would get anywhere in Bangkok. The patty is made from TF beef, not too dry but at the same time not too moist. I found the Chicken Quesadilla to be just average compared to what you would find overseas but still one of the better ones in Thailand. Tater Tots were great.
If you find yourself around here, do drop in and grab a bite. I saw a banana split off the menu written on one of the boards on the wall but didn't try it, since I was already stuffed. Prices are more than what you pay at a fast food place or Thai restaurant, but you get what you pay for. I definitely will be returning in the future whenever I crave a burger.
