This YEE HAA burger bar, located right across from the Dazhi Dinghao Supermarket, has not been open for long.

We discovered this place purely because after having lunch in Dazhi last time, it started pouring rain. While taking shelter from the rain, we stumbled upon it by chance XD. It had also been a while since we’d had an American-style burger, so we decided to check it out with Meiji.

We arrived not long after they opened, so there weren’t many customers yet.

Old K thinks the cutest thing in the shop is this dairy cow XD

The counter has a good selection of beers, which should make beer lovers quite happy.

● 《ET News Cloud》 reminds you: Don’t drink and drive, don’t drive after drinking; those under 18 please do not consume alcohol.

The staff told us that everything here – from the bread and burger patties to the sauces – is homemade. It really seems like a lot of care went into it!

Most of their burgers are beef-based, but there are also chicken leg and cod options for those who don’t eat beef. For those wanting a vegetarian option, there's even a tofu and mushroom patty burger. Old K ordered the White Mustard Hot Dog Steak Burger, and Meiji chose the BBQ Chicken Leg Burger. For an extra 40 NT$, you can get a drink and fries, so we both went for the combo meals.

There are also hot dog burgers, sides, and drinks to choose from at the back.

There’s a blackboard at the back listing the beer flavors, but since we don’t drink, we didn’t pay much attention to it XD

Here comes the burger, served on a cute little wooden stand.

The black wooden box contains the BBQ Chicken Leg Burger, while the red wooden box holds the White Mustard Hot Dog Steak Burger. There are four types of fries to choose from as sides: crispy shoestring fries, sweet potato fries, yellow skin-on fries, and potato chips.

This isthe potato chips– crispy on the outside, soft inside. The seasoning is already on the skin, so they’re flavorful even without ketchup. They’re pretty delicious!

Old K chose theCrispy Shoestring Fries. Although they’re called crispy shoestring fries, they’re not as crunchy as expected. Only the edges are crispy, and the overall texture is more soft and chewy – still tasty when dipped in ketchup!

Meiji’s BBQ Chicken Leg Burger – when you open the bun, you’ll see cheese on top of the chicken leg.

Flip it over, and you can see the beautifully grilled chicken leg – looks super tasty!

They provide disposable gloves for eating fried chicken, so you can just pick it up and eat without worrying about getting your hands dirty. So convenient!

The homemade bread really is something special – crispy on the outside with a firm but not overly hard texture. It’s a delicious bun. The chicken leg is tender and juicy with a nice smoky grilled flavor – really good. Meiji said this chicken leg burger is awesome!

This is Old K’s White Mustard Hot Dog Steak Burger. On top of the steak patty are two hot dogs – a bit different from what he expected. He originally thought it would be one long hot dog XD. Underneath the patty is a cheese-topped burger steak.

You’ve gotta pick it up to eat it to really enjoy it~

The burger patty is super juicy, and the hot dog has a nice bounce to it. The white mustard sauce has a rich, tangy, sweet, salty, and slightly spicy flavor that really suits Old K’s taste. Paired with the bread, it’s super satisfying. Though he felt the hot dog was a bit too salty – otherwise, it would’ve been perfect.

Let's compare two of them here—the chicken burger is much bigger in size, XD

K’s little reminder: It’s really nice to have tasty burgers in Dazhi. Now you don’t have to go far if you want a good burger. The fact that they make everything from the bread to the sauces themselves is awesome. The price isn’t super cheap, but Old K thinks it’s totally worth trying. Next time, Old K wants to try their steak burger flavor too. Recommended for friends who love American-style burgers.
