You’ll be a maniac for Burger Mania! Burger Mania’s patties are 100% quality guaranteed Japanese beef. The restaurant has a Western industrial atmosphere with white brick walls, wooden panels, amber tinted light bulbs on the ceiling, and an open kitchen located right in the center.

The New York-inspired menu includes not only burgers, but scrumptious sandwiches and pancakes as well. The burgers themselves are quite unique.

For a very well-seasoned and flavorful burger, the Rosemary Lemon Burger is a rare treat for your taste buds.

If you still have room after enjoying Burger Mania’s flavorful beef, crisp, and onions that are cooked to perfection, you can finish the experience with a cup of latte art coffee and one of the restaurant’s homemade sweets.
