Fries, the soulmate of any handmade burger! Burger Bar's fries have real bite thanks to their moderate thickness. Fried fresh to order, they came out hot, with a crispy outside and a fluffy potato texture that really comes through. The salting was savory without being overly salty—just right! ![Stretchy cheese stick at Burger Bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view-19-15iuy-900.webp) ### Cheese sticks, one per person only If you come to Burger Bar, don't ever skip this one—the cheese sticks, sold with a limit of one per person! Bite in and the cheese stretches endlessly, with a savory, salty natural cheese flavor that was so good, and the combo of crispy batter and chewy cheese was amazing! The sauce paired so well too, it was delicious even dipped into the fries! ![Cross-section of Burger Bar's chicken grill burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view-20-a1m66-900.webp) ### Chicken grill burger with grilled chicken thigh Packed generously with juicy chicken! This is the chicken grill burger. Instead of deep-fried chicken, it uses a chicken thigh patty carefully grilled, so you can enjoy it cleanly without feeling heavy. The patty is golden on the outside and juicy inside, and combined with the house-made grill sauce, cheese, and crisp vegetables, this handmade burger had such great form! ![Chicken grill burger with a chicken thigh patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view-21-utk0j-900.webp) ### The signature squid burger When you think of Gangneung, squid is the specialty that comes to mind! ![Burger Bar's signature squid burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view/gangneung-squid-burger-beach-view-22-1oy0y-900.webp) Burger Bar's squid burger is an amazing menu item that perfectly reinterprets Gangneung's local character as a handmade burger patty!! It's packed with a truly big, crispy squid patty so you can really taste the squid, and they fried it with a spicy kick so it doesn't get greasy—the bread and squid went together so well!
