Dear Lord Of The Wings,
I wanted my burger with curly fries- NOT regular fries. It should be a simple matter, no? A simple substitution. And I’ll pay the extra charge and we’ll all go home happy.
Oh No but it is not. Your waiter said he just can’t do it. HE JUST CAN NOT.
I would have to order a separate basket of curly fries. So get this- I would have my regular fries- which come with the burger whether or not I want them- and an extra basket. Talk about food going to waste. So naturally, I ask for your manager. The manager instantly and very smartly ( if I may add) tells me that he can do no such thing since your system just won’t allow it. He can’t take the meazly regular fries and place the curly ones instead. Your freakin system can’t handle it.
So I ask you this: Whatever happened to flexibility? Here I am, your customer asking for something- willing to pay extra for it- and you flat out refuse me, with a sorry excuse. I know Lebanese restaurants that would run out and buy you smokes even when they don’t sell them, their system never stopped them.
The manager kept cutting me off- telling me how he proposed it to your ( scary)-upper managemen0t people-but you have yet to implement it. He too proposed – we order a separate basket of curly fries with a half-hearted apology.
I think he noticed the look of disdain on my face- cause your manager decided to do the right thing- he substituted the fries with curly fries- and no extra charge- probably because the system wouldn’t allow it- but I will give him the benefit of the doubt 🙂
But I ask you this Lord- was it all necessary? Couldn’t you have just given me ( the paying customer) what I want, without having to hear about your failing system while the chicken on my salad got cold? What does a girl have to do in this town to get some curly fries. So please Lord- if you wanna get ahead in this town- update your system.
Being the nice fair person I am, I did not let this incident refrain me from reviewing your burger.
Caesar salad with chicken- the lettuce was crispy and fresh and the dressing was just right, the chicken was nothing special.
Drumroll please: you've probably never seen this before, but yes those are curly fries you see on that burger platter- you gotta fight for your fries people. ( they are so worth it)
The classic burger. The bun impressed me the most, so fresh and tender, yet still able to hold the burger together without the sloppiness .The patty is really good in terms of taste, could be slightly juicier.It actually consists of two thinner patties held together. I would have preferred one big one, the grilled onions are a delight but they could take it easy on the amount of mustard and ketchup because after awhile it all gets too much. All in all, I would give it an 7.5/10.
The bill with two diet cokes: 46,000LL, a little on the more expensive side of things- but reasonable nevertheless.
I still plan on trying out all your recommended burgers- so please keep the recommendations rolling.

i would recommend the burger at ferdinand hamra..so yummy..
the casper burger is tasty as well, but it is so big you have to train to get a decent bite..
let’s get together for a burger soon!
Lord of the Wings have terrible burgers but the problem is the majority of Lebanese don’t know what a good burger is because sadly there aren’t any good burger joints in Lebanon. Someone needs to open something proper.
As Shana says, Casper’s burgers are really good.
And Classic Burger Joint’s good too.
However, the best, and the priciest, can be found in Gordon’s Cafe, Le Grey, in Downtown. By FAR the best.
There are good burgers in town, you just need to know where they are.
I don’t eat but the burger my friends are crazy for the burger at Ferdinand. The fish and vegetarian burgers sucks in Lebanon. Yes vegetarian enjoy food as much as the next person. So i hope they will improve their recipes
how fat are we getting in this town? hahaha 😀
Guys, the ultimate burger in Beirut is brgr co. Haven’t you all felt the difference??? I’ve been to all, the taste doesn’t even compare…
I second Joyce! Brgr Co. is the best
and Mark didnt have the time to try it when he was last there so he sorely missed out!!
Bonne ap!
Thanks Aman, I’m usually a tough critic, and I’m very low on tolerance when it comes to my food!! I’m convinced that this place is the real thing!
Baaaah I hate Lord of the Wings,it’s crappy
