Tucked away in one of the quieter streets of Marikina City is a hidden delight serving one of the best burgers in the area. 1975 Old-Fashioned Burgers is a simple joint, set up like any ordinary outdoor grill in someone’s front yard, which adds to its charm. You’ll likely find residents from neighboring homes as regulars, some wearing pajamas, just dropping by to claim their orders. Who can blame them? The alluring scent of its fresh-from-thegrill burgers is enough to catch the attention of anyone nearby.
As its name implies, the menu offers a variety of hamburgers prepared in the “classic” style– Grilled to perfection and topped with cheese. 1975 Old-Fashioned Burgers’ takes it a step further with its secret cheese sauce, served in melted perfection over the fresh Brazilian beef patties. A sweet serving of caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and crisp oatmeal buns complements each burger. For those running on an empty stomach, go for the Double Classic for twice the meat.

Or if you're feeling extra hungry, try your hand at chowing down on the Triple Classic. Other special versions include the Hawaiian Classic, which has a pineapple slice to add a juicy punch to the burger, and the Classic O’rings burger, which has crispy onion rings to add some crunch to each bite.
Not a fan of beef? Have a go at the Classic Fried Chicken Sandwich, containing a generous serving of chicken thigh fillet seasoned with old-fashioned herbs and spices. Unfortunately, it was unavailable when we visited but reviews online show it doesn't disappoint. For the sides, you can choose between having cheesy bacon potato fries or crispy onion rings. There are also five different flavors of chicken wings to choose from (buffalo, honey garlic, salted egg, barbecue, and garlic parmesan).

Best of all is the affordable price of every item on the menu. Prices range from ₱105 to ₱195. There are also bundles that give you a bang for your buck, with the family bundle including four burgers, six pieces of wings, one order of chicken poppers, one side of choice, and four sodas for the low price of ₱979!
1975 Old-Fashioned Burgers is located along Yamson Street, San Roque, Marikina City.
