But First Burgers

«But First Burgers» on Kuibysheva Street, 36, is a place with an honest focus on burgers and American cuisine. The name says it all: burgers come first here, and the selection is serious — with bacon and egg, with pulled beef, with brisket, with two kinds of cheese. Each option is the restaurant's own recipe, not a generic version copied from the café next door. The kitchen's particular pride is its smoker. It's used to smoke ribs, cook barbecue wings and shrimp, giving dishes a smoky character that's hard to replicate on a regular stove or grill. The kitchen works at the intersection of European and American traditions, and meat dishes here are served with beer — a logical match for burgers and ribs. The average check at «But First Burgers» is 1,100 ₽, making it a good fit for an occasional but hearty visit for a signature burger and a portion of smoked meats. Its location near Gorkovskaya adds convenience for those strolling around this part of St. Petersburg and looking for a filling lunch or dinner with an American accent.
