Maya on the Block: A place for some serious burgers

Hamburger is arguably the most well-liked go-to food.

But while most people are familiar with food chain burgers, there is more to burgers than just McDonald’s or Jollibee.

Enter Camp Burgrille, Davao City’s newest go-to place for mouthwatering burgers. For some, this is where serious burgers are, no gimmicks, just burgers done so well.

The name of the resto is as adventurous as its burgers, which pay tribute to the outdoors and the spirit of mountaineering and camping.

Make sure your tummy is empty when visiting the resto as devouring its pan-grilled Extreme Trek Burger, which is big and juicy, will definitely give your arteries a workout. Other must-try are the Original Campers, the Summiteer, Trekker, Highlander, etc. – all with excessive juices that drip out from the pure beef patty loaded with cheese and bacon on a bun.

“We are using 100 percent New Zealand beef. Pan-grilled” said Krizza Gaile L. Leocario, the joint’s manager.

Aside from burgers, the resto also serves meals, sandwiches, salads, etc.

Whether you are looking for a burger, a sandwich, and other meals, Camp Burgrille has it all plus it has very accessible location.

Before opening its brick-and-mortar location, Camp Burgrille’s burgers were available in a pop-up shop.

“Camp Burgrille, originally, pinull-out lang siya from Mount Shake which is the primary business of the family. Mount Shake ang palagi sumasali sa mga weekend market. In 2016, we decided to include burger. After two summers, nakita namin may potential si burger, ini-extract si burger from Mount Shake, pagdating ng weekend market dito SM Lanang in June 2017, naging dalawa na ang offerings naming si Mount Shake and Camp Burgrille,” said Leocario.

Then the Covid-19 pandemic changed how the people eat with government prohibiting food and beverage outlets from opening their doors to dine-in guests but Camp Burgrille is shatterproof and instead joined the food delivery business, which is now gaining momentum.

“In March nag lockdown, nag-pick up ang orders, nag-start ng 10 orders, until halos tig-100 pieces na ang orders. Morning to evening, every day,” Leocario said.

Camp Burgrille is still accepting orders for delivery.

Even though pop-up shops and delivery services are still popular today there is still nothing that quite replaces the face-to-face customer relationship.

As Davao City is now almost back to normal with all restrictions relaxed, Dabawenyos are now thrill to dine out again, talk over a cup of coffee or tea, and eat their favorite meals with their loved ones and friends.

So, if you are planning to go out and chill, you might want to check out Camp Burgrille.
