The patty is the star, the sweet potato is the scene-stealer

What is Buggy's Gwanpyeong like?

Buggy's Gwanpyeong is a handmade burger restaurant on the first floor of Building C of DTB&S in Gwanpyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, near Hyundai Premium Outlet. It's open daily 11:00-20:30, and you can park in the building's underground parking lot. Attention, people who take picking a burger seriously! It's a good stop when you're craving a handmade burger in Daejeon, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a meal in Yuseong or a good place to eat near Daejeon Hyundai Outlet.

Buggy's has been a burger shop since 2017, and the name is a short way of saying "burger is." They say they focus on the basics while balancing a variety of ingredients. The burgers use a 100% beef patty blended from several cuts and a buttery bun, with everything from basic burgers to ones with distinctive toppings all ready to go♥️

Buggy's Gwanpyeong menu and prices

The menu has a pretty wide range, from classic cheeseburgers to signature burgers with all kinds of toppings and crispy chicken burgers. Besides basic fries there are several other sides, so you can mix and match with your burger to taste😃

Here's what Jjinyu ordered today, with prices.

• Crispy Chicken set ₩13,700
• Mushroom Single ₩10,300
• Sweet potato fries ₩7,300

This time I ordered the Crispy Chicken set, a Mushroom Burger Single and sweet potato fries. The Crispy Chicken set comes with original fries and cola, so you get a burger, fries and a drink all at once🥤

With two kinds of burgers plus a side ordered, it was time to dig in. Next up: how each one looked and tasted, plus what I thought while eating. Let's go!

What does Buggy's Crispy Chicken Burger taste like?

Buggy's Crispy Chicken Burger comes with a spicy hot chicken patty, coleslaw and pickles🍗 Built around a crunchy chicken patty with crisp veggies and pickles, it has a different charm from a beef patty burger!

Jjinyu ordered the crispy chicken as a set with original fries and cola. When you're eating a burger, fries and cola are hard to skip, right? One set covers the side and the drink, so recommended!

Buggy's Mushroom Burger: the fried mushroom is the highlight

The Mushroom Burger🍄, one of Buggy's signature menu items, is a beef patty topped with a fried mushroom filled with mozzarella cheese. The point is that the mushroom isn't just tossed in, it's fried first! With the savory cheese and fried mushroom, it's a different combination from an ordinary burger. It's a burger with real personality that you can only get at Buggy's, so I think I'll remember it when I want a handmade burger that's not the usual.

Do sweet potato fries and vanilla ice cream go together?

Buggy's sweet potato fries (₩7,300) are a side that comes with vanilla ice cream🍠🍦 Ice cream on fried sweet potato? It's not even a sweet-and-salty combo, just sweet on top of sweet, but it goes together surprisingly well. Eating warm sweet potato fries with cold vanilla ice cream adds a temperature contrast for a different flavor, and it works as a side with your burger or as a dessert after the meal. If you visit Buggy's in Gwanpyeong-dong, try this unusual side instead of the basic fries. Thumbs up~
