Pipit Burger

Itaewon & Yongsan-gu


Harking back to the original San Bernardino McDonald's, this '50s-themed diner only grills one type of burger, but it's a beast. You can add bacon, double-up on the perfectly charred patties and go large with 'bottomless' (ie unlimited) crunchy fries. Don't fret: the craft-beer selection is anything but narrow.
