KGB may breathe the vibes of an American fast food joint, but really, it's a gourmet burger restaurant at heart. The small, diner-like space is great for quick lunches with a colleague, but the speedy service makes it even better for takeaways back to the office — where you can take your time to savour the burger. Skip the chicken options, as these guys handle their beef with more finesse. The Truffle'd Swiss (RM21.90) is luscious, featuring portobello mushrooms, swiss cheese and a striking truffle fragrance. Find this in the menu for grilled beef burgers, which sees patties grilled to juicy perfection. If you like your beef with a little sear, have it crust-seared like in the KGB Spiked (RM16.90). This signature burger is packed with beef bacon, cheddar cheese and a sharp, spicy sauce to boot. Make it a meal for an additional RM5.90, which gets you a drink and their flavoured fries — opt for the umami-packed spicy Cajun or kimchi.

When a long Friday lunch is in order, gather the colleagues for burger and fries! An expert at dishing out delivery orders, KGB makes delicious gourmet burgers earmarked by the fresh brioche buns hot-stamped with the acronym KGB, which stand for 'Killer Gourmet Burgers'. The menu is concise, carrying a handful of selections for beef, chicken and portobello mushroom patties, with no shortage of sides. Since you're already splurging on the calorie count, go all out with a robust KGB Spiked (RM16.90). The name's a nod to the addition of signature KGB spicy sauce, and the burger's available with either a beef or chicken patty, though we're convinced the grass-fed beef goes better with the crispy beef bacon and sharp cheddar trimmings. Fries are big at this burger joint, with interesting flavours like herbed, malt and vinegar and spicy Cajun enticing you to make it a meal (additional RM5.90 for fries and a drink).

There's nothing more fun and real than sharing sloppy burgers with your date, and KGB's Killer Gourmet Burger stands out for their utterly delicious burgers. Take the classic route with The Shack (RM12.90) — choose from beef or grilled chicken, served with their special 'Shack' sauce, or throw all caution to the wind and go for heart-stopping creations like Bash (RM18.90), a truly stupendous burger of grilled beef, bacon jam relish, provolone cheese, caramelised onions and an interesting touch of maple cornflakes, or Hot Mess (RM18.90), fluffy buns sandwiching parmesan crusted chicken, hot wing skin, egg salad and buffalo wing aioli.
Keep it simple and go for their no-frills cheeseburger called The Shack, a classic combination of smashed beef patty, cheddar cheese, and addictive Shack sauce. For a darn good spicy burger, opt for the The Bobcat, which includes the addition of green chili slaw and jalapeno mayo that's bound to make you swoon. To top it off, KGB serves a mean plate of kimchi fries - a heartstopping umami bomb you shouldn't miss!
