Burger Machine is perhaps one of the most popular burger joints in the Philippines because of its delicious and affordable hamburgers. It's ubiquitous (well, almost) plus it operates 24/7, which makes Burger Machine all the more appealing to the masses. A question that bugged me for years though is about the ownership of Burger Machine -- who really owns Burger Machine? For a time, I thought it was owned by 711 or Philippine Seven Corporation. Apparently, it's not. According to Wikipedia, Burger Machine is owned by Burger Machine Holdings, a sub-company of the local business entity Gilmore Food Corporation.

Still, according to Wikipedia, Burger Machine was established in the year 1981 and grew to more than 1,000 branches all over the Philippines over the years. I first knew Burger Machine when it opened a branch in my town, San Antonio (Nueva Ecija), in the early to mid-1990s. It instantly became a popular hangout joint for students after class or for townsfolks doing their market errands or after attending the Sunday Mass.

I personally loved the Jumbo Burger - it's delicious and filling. I also loved the Bulilit Burger, hamburger sliders, that became extremely popular for a time when I was in High School. Eventually, Burger Machine introduced their buy 1 take 1 promo, which eventually became a permanent offering. Burger Machine's menu soon expanded to include desserts like the sans rival, which is the perfect ending to an indulgent meal. Today, Burger Machine remains a household name and is still a favorite among many Filipinos.

Burger Machine's menu is dominated by buy 1 take 1 items but there are also great value single-order products. Nevertheless, the food items can all be considered sulit for their price and serving size.

Here are the different options that you may choose from:

Cold drinks, hot coffee, hot chocolate, and sans rival are also available.

All in all, Burger Machine is a pocket-friendly option to satisfy your burger cravings. While delivery is not yet an option, most Burger Machine outlets are in accessible locations.
