What is it: Madcow Burger is another food truck favourite turned brick and mortar joint that now has multiple restaurants dotted across Thailand. While no longer Bangkok-specific, their Old Town branch is special, focusing on halal alternatives like beef bacon to better serve the community in which it sits.
Why we love it: Madcow Burger consistently delivers a solid burger experience honed over years of craft. By owning their own bakery, they’re committed to quality, ensuring every burger and every bun meets a very high standard. The Old Town halal options are a nice addition and make it a standout in the area, serving a steady flow of crispy beef bacon and oozy mac and cheese sides that make any burger sing. For big appetites, the fatcow comes with a hefty double 250g patty, while the madcow’s 150g patty perfectly balances sharp cheese and crispy beef bacon. The menu also features freshly grilled striploin steak, a great alternative to fries for those watching their carb intake.
Time Out tip: While the standard whole wheat bun holds up well, speedier eaters might enjoy the charcoal bun – it’s softer and more delicate, though prone to soaking up juices fast.
