    This place deserves awards. Menu is simple but they have their custom burgers 🍔; just ask! Everything is exceptional but the buns are a definite highlight. As per the chef’s recommendation, I got the burger with barbecue sauce, cheese and their handmade, hand-smoked bacon 🥓. The bacon was crispy and smoky and the barbecue sauce perfect: just a bit tangy and just a bit sweet but left some space for the meat to show off. Next time I really want to try the regular cheese burger. Cole slaw was great and quite fruity; maybe some pineapple in there? Feels like it would be very refreshing on a hot summer night.

    If you’re in Fukuoka, don’t skip this place. I was planning on grabbing a burger for lunch before leaving town that afternoon and ended up staying for dinner too! Living in Japan for 3 years, the experience felt just like being back home in the USA. Connected with the owner, Jim, and the more we spoke, the more I felt like I’d known the guy for years. Staff also excellent. Burger was fantastic, best you’ll get in Japan, hands down. He grinds his own beef, cures the bacon. I had a double cheeseburger with fries and a coke, Jim’s recommendation. No surprise he has customers tear up regularly when they bite in. No surprise of the nearly flawless rating with 500+ reviews. They also have a secret menu if you ask, but that’s a secret. I’ll go every time I’m back in town.

    Amazing lunch at U.S. Burger. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and fries. The restaurant is very well located and the service was amazing. The burger was great, I highly recommend it. It was just perfect, like I described it to the owner, it's a manageable burger that you can actually eat without a fork and knife. If you are in Fukuoka, this place is a must.

    Little piece of America right in the heart of Fukuoka, probably the best burger I've ever had in Japan.......felt like I was back in the US just for dinner time! Everything is freshly homemade right in front of your eyes, the burger patties are made fresh everyday. The owner and his burger master executive chef are both super fun to chat with......and my only "complaint" is that I needed a second burger even though I was stuffed from the first one, but I just couldn't stop eating because it was the best burger I've had in ages!

    Burger was really good! It had the exact great amount of spices, and the toppings were amazing. I would have preferred a little bit pinkier meat, since mine was completely cooked, but I guess that's just their style. The conversation with the owner was amazing! If I'd be staying longer in Fukuoka, I'd be a regular here.

    The best burger we had when we got to Fukuoka. Jim is great and so patient, we also share some stories with him and his difficulty to find staff. One thing to note though, you must be patient as well when coming in here because of the one-man-chef. But we really enjoyed our lunch and our time there. Good luck Jim and we definitely will go back if we visit Fukuoka again. Recommended time to visit: 30-45 mins before you get very hungry

    Great burger! One of the best, if not the best, I’ve had in Japan! The buns are top notch and the meat is coming from the grinder, which makes it very special! Will def be back here. I had mine with double patty, cheese, mushroom&onion as well as the crispy homemade bacon which I’ve been craving for since living in Japan. Nothing you find in many places, so make sure to add the bacon to your burger! Coke is served in the glass bottle, the best way to enjoy the American softdrink number 1! The owner is very friendly and makes everyone feel welcome 🙏 no wonder they are top rated 👏

    I was so looking forward to visiting it for a while after watching it on YouTube. It did not disappoint. The burger is made right in front of you after ordering. This is hand made one by one, not factory produced hamburgers. Real meat, real taste. You can go solo as you will always find someone to talk with (most likely the owner himself). Will definitely go back next time I am in Fukuoka.

    Best burger in Japan. Bun is custom order. Jim makes his own bacon and prepares his own beef. I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own cows. Ingredients don’t hit the counters until he’s cooking. Get it flash rare with bacon and cheese. Enjoy the conversation. Don’t ask for it to go, just sit down and eat.

    Best burger I've had in a long time! Big burger and great flavor. I am from the U.S. and it's rare to find a burger this good! I will be regular customer. The owner/chef (Jim) is friendly and fun to talk with, as well as the help (Jeremy).......Thanks Jim!

    The best burgers you can eat in Japan. The bun, the meat, the homemade bacon… everything is fresh, just perfect! You've never tried a burger like this in Japan! Wonderful place, owner and staff, I spent a really good time for dinner. Thank you!

    Food was so lovely, the decor is amazing and feels quite homely with all the owners trinkets. Had a lovely chat with him too and he recommended us a delicious ice cream place after the meal too! We could’ve definitely smashed more of those burgers 🤤 Defo worth going if youre in Fukuoka

    US Burger, a burger place in Fukuoka, offers a fantastic experience. The owner's friendly nature and the cozy setting create a comfortable environment that adds to the overall enjoyment. The highlight here is the burgers. Using quality beef, each patty is well-cooked, full of flavor, and topped with a great mix of ingredients. Do yourself a favor, follow the proprietor's recommendation and add on the bacon (he makes them in-house!). You won't regret it. The service is quick, efficient, and very welcoming. The proprietor is helpful, adding to the overall positive experience at the restaurant. In Fukuoka, US Burger isn't just a place to grab a burger; it's a destination for a memorable meal. I'm looking forward to going back and bringing my friends to enjoy this great spot.

    The best burger I ever tasted! Way better than In-and-Out (no pun intended) 😊 Good food, nice ambiance and friendly owner and staff. We will visit this place again soon on our next vacation! 😋 Recommended: Single or double burger with cheese and bacon 😋

  • 5/5 Nelson M. 1 year ago on Google
    Burger was the best I’ve had in Japan so far. There’s was so much flavor with such simple ingredients. Really felt like a bite from home just 100x better. The Owner offered me another burger and I wish I would of had it but I just couldn’t fit anymore food in my body haha. I will definitely be coming back again very soon. I highly recommend. Thank you so much for the amazing meal.

    The burgers are amazing and owner was extremely friendly. Half way through eating my first burger it was so good I ordered another one. I’ll have to make the pilgrimage to Fukuoka so I can eat this burger again. I recommend the double, cheese, bacon, onions and mushroom, and egg. Basically everything. Fries as well.

    Stopped by on our arrival in Fukuoka, and had dinner with the owner. The menu is simple, the food is amazing, the ambience is wonderful. It's a handmade, culinary masterpiece on a bun, and you won't regret stopping. My husband got a double, which was massive, my daughter got a simple single, and I got a cheeseburger with mushrooms and onions. Delicious. The owner is practically a food scientist, deeply passionate about flavor profiles, and is meticulous about smoking meats and the quality of his food, and it SHOWS. Definitely worth the time and money.

    a very satisfying burger. the patty is beefy and grilled really nicely. the buns are soft yet slightly crispy on the outside ( because of the butter). the entire burger is juicy so be sure to have some napkins with you before you eat. tip: be there slightly before they open so you get seated immediately. if you go during peak hours (e.g. lunch time), be prepared to wait.

    We needed a break from Japanese food and luckily found this burger joint near the Fukuoka Castle Ruins. The menu was simple. The burgers were authentic and tasty. The owner, Jim, is a friendly American. We came for a late lunch when he was less busy so he shared his story with us. Quite fascinating! If you want an authentic American burger in Fukuoka, this is the place!

    After being in Japan for almost a year there was one thing I really missed, a proper American burger. Places like US Burger are far and few between, but this is hands down one of the the best burgers I've ever had in my life, let alone in Japan. I look forward to my next visit and I will be telling everyone I know about US Burger!!!

    Best burger I have had in a while. Glad I managed to find on the reviews. Owner is really friendly and the burgers taste amazing.

  • 5/5 Audric S. 1 year ago on Google
    A great meal with a great experience! I ordered a single patty burger. The patty was 100% angus beef and was very juicy. The buns were toasted and the sauce is delicious. Everything was well balanced and it was a really satisfying burger. It cost 950 yen for the single patty burger excluding tax still. The service was excellent and it was amazing how friendly everyone was. You can talk with them freely and they would even initiate conversation. So while you wait for your burger to be cooked, you may not notice the time as you enjoy the atmosphere and the company. The only time you would notice your burger is when you smell it as it cooks and when you bite into it. The atmosphere was great as well and the place is nice to hang out in. You see Jim cooking in front of you and preparing the burgers which helps to excite your appetite. I would recommend coming here to get a burger and get to know people.

    A taste of home. Simple, authentic, created with care and love. You can't go wrong in a place that smokes its own bacon! Delicious and a great experience. The owner holds court in a performative space, telling tales and making you feel part of the process. Can't wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Dawn H. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone who grew up in America, it's the best burger I've ever had! The meat was so juicy and I inhaled the burger in 5 minutes! The atmosphere is very American. The restaurant is not like fake American-core, but like a good hole in the wall burger joint you could find anywhere in the States. Service unfortunately is slow since Jim is the only cook and he goes at his own pace. However if you are willing to wait longer than usual for the food, you will have the best burger of your life!

  • 5/5 Claudia P. 10 months ago on Google
    AMAZING! The Best Burger I had in my life! Best flavor with the best vibe! Food made with heart! Really worth it. “Many people can cook food, but just few people should” Definitely Jim is a talented Chef that should! All the ingredients are meticulously chosen and worked by Jim to make the best Burger. It was really a surprise to eat hamburger in Japan, you shouldn't miss it! Claudia & The Portuguese Family.

    Was pleasantly surprised by USBurger. One of the tastiest burgers I’ve had in Japan. Like that it is a homemade beef burger. Lots of flavor and made with care. The fries are good and the BBQ sauce is on point. If lookIng for a solid hamburger in Fukuoka, this is the spot.

  • 5/5 Derek M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best burger I have ever tasted. The whole drive home my wife kept saying “that burger was amazing. We have to eat there again. Next week? Let’s go every week.” The owner, Jim, is a super nice guy and charming to talk to. Good atmosphere. Good people. Juicy, tasty, delicious burgers.

  • 5/5 Victor A. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a home made styled American burger…this is definitely the place. It’s nice to have a chat with the chef while he is preparing your meal. You will get to know how much of effort goes in the preparation. Once you take that first bite you will realise it’s different from any other burger you have eaten here in Fukuoka. My family and I enjoyed the food and hospitality. Cheers Jim!

    Best burger I’ve had since moving to Japan. A true American burger! Also the owner is great! Super cool dude.

  • 5/5 Sandra S. 2 years ago on Google
    Welcome to the USA in Japan!! Best Burger since I moved to Japan! Jim grounds the meat to the perfect size, seasons it deliciously and smokes the bacon himself. If you're searching for a good burger and tired of eating those weird Japanese types (gomen ne 😁), this is your best choice. I'll CERTAINLY go back!!

  • 5/5 Anh M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best burger I have tried. Tasty and Juicy, plus great selection of toppings. Super friendly head chef-owner. Definitely a must try experience.

  • 5/5 Mike W. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    When in Japan, you sometimes want something not Japanese food but also authentic. The only disappointment I get was the fact that I’m not living in fukuoka to eat this again. Meat was perfectly cooked, buns are fresh and delicious, bacon however was out of this world, my expectations were okay but I should have increased it cos it was damn great. Utterly delicious to say the least. 11/10 Jim, the owner, was really friendly too, had a fun time conversing with him
