Where We Are Going Today: ‘UPPER' – burger spot in Jeddah
Located in the Al-Zahra District of Jeddah, UPPER is a burger spot that focuses on a small menu built around quality ingredients and generous portions.
While the menu is limited, the flavors are solid, and the casual setting makes it a decent option for those who enjoy burgers.
The wagyu beef burgers are the main draw. Served on a pretzel bun with either white or yellow cheese, the patties are juicy and well-prepared.
The yellow cheese burger sticks to familiar toppings like iceberg lettuce, grilled onions, and a standard sauce. The white cheese version offers a slightly different mix with baby rocca, onion jam, Dijon pepper sauce, and goat's cheese.
Chicken options include both crispy and grilled versions. The crispy ones — including zesty and chipotle — come with American cheese and a mildly spicy sauce. The grilled chicken burger is lighter, with Emmental cheese and ranch dressing.
Among the sides, the grilled corn with spiced sour cream sauce stands out, and the fries are crisp and satisfying. Lamb chops are also on the menu, but they feel more like an add-on than a core item.
Desserts like tiramisu and molten chocolate cake are straightforward and familiar.
House-made sauces like the smoky chipotle mayo and zesty lemon sauce add a nice touch. For more, check the location's Instagram @
