The BEST hamburgers in Suriname

It's official - the very best hamburgers (only just squeezing out the d 'Optimist's burger) can be found at Bar Zuid at the van Sommelsdijckstraat.

Umar Nazier, who lived in Texas for several years, started Big Tex Burgers at Bar Zuid.  Bar Zuid has it's own menu -- the quality is what you would expect in a bar.  The Big Tex burgers are a different story all together.  They are handmade and absolutely fabulous.

Another delicious menu item is the garlic french fries -- when they say garlic/ they mean garlic!  They also have nice crispy fried chicken wings -- the only thing missing is the blue cheese.

Umar has turned into quite the culinary aficionado and the menu is occasionally expanded with things such as ribs and green bun burgers on St. Patrick's Day.  Or even better the special on March 15th was ginger wasabi marmalade tuna, pan seared with sesame oil served with a side of fresh snow peas sauteed with garlic in duck fat....  not sure where else in Suriname you will find anything like it.

To find out what the specials are follow Big Tex Burgers on Facebook.  If you want a special make sure you arrive early, because the specials sell out fast.
