Hamburgao was a lunchtime favorite when they first opened in '05, but a recent trip here did not impress me so much.
Their burgers are made with potato chips and corn (as well as normal toppings like lettuce & tomato) and this very delicious pinkish-orangey sauce that is apparently made from fruit & mayo. I remember their burgers being a thick and juicy patty, but the last time I had ordered it, it was flat and dry.
Their coxinhas are very delicious, I still am a fan of them to this day: Chewy dough wrapped around white chicken meat and then breaded are all deep-fried to create this beautiful golden-brown product. Do grab some napkins since it can get greasy.
I could not have been more disappointed with hamburgao. Since seeing it on Food Network back in the day, I thought it looked like an interesting take on a classic. Sadly, they did not deliver. The burger is an extremely thin, dry patty with no seasoning at all. There is seriously no flavor. I had higher quality patties in my high school cafeteria than what they're rolling out here. Potato sticks on the burger is welcome, but they are not nearly enough to save this mess. Plus they only add to the dryness. They will douse it in mayo and secret sauce to add some moisture, but there is no saving a burger this dry and flavorless. So much disappointment.
On top of the bad food, the people who work here give new definition to the term dense. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, one hamburger. At the end she repeated the order back (this was placed over the phone). Completely wrong. It took her 6 tries to get it right, even though we kept repeating it. She kept interrupting before the extremely simple and straight forward order was complete. Then they are sooo slow and disorganized inside. I was shocked we got the right food at all. Meh, forget this noise.
Terrible service. our orders were getting messed up. service was slow. drinks werent brought over to us even after we ordered them. my friend even got charged twice for a snapple. took forever for the food.
however, there are some positives here. the cheese empanadas were okay, the tilapia sandwhich was filling but the fish itself was over cooked. the pineapple juice is amazing, you must get this. the fries are good and crunchy, and lastly the hotdog–is a must get too. my friend said it was delish and it was extemely filling.
I give this place 3 stars only because the service was so bad. Lady messed up pretty much our entire order..forgot my drink. .brought. my friend the wrong sandwich. Then they over charged me because they thought i forgot to pay for my beverage. A mess!BUT the food was good. I ordered this hot dog that was topped with mayo, corn, grated cheese and potato sticks…it was very interesting. Maybe next time ill try the Newark location.
Want to try a delicious, cheap, Brazilian burger? Go to Hamburgao!
You will not be disappointed at the burgers or the prices here. The most expensive burger is the Hamburgao Picanha, which is $7.50, which is a STEAL!!

This is my go-to burger. The potato sticks add a nice crunchy touch to the burger. And it seems to me that the Brazilian-style of burgers like to have corn in them, which adds a unique, yet good taste to it. And it is not a small burger, so you get the most out of your money here.
The Hamburgao beef is similar, as it has just normal steak on it. They have a chicken burger equivalent as well with the same toppings (with chicken breast instead of course), called the Hamburgao Frango. If you do not like one of the toppings, they have many other varieties of burgers which have only certain toppings. In addition, they have "California" styles of these burgers, which has pineapples in it.
I don't know what it is about their french fries, but these fries are good and addictive. Make sure you use the mayo-like sauce with them! I always get them with my meal and they do not disappoint. They also serve empanadas, soup salads, and other random assortments (including some desserts). However, I come here mainly for their burgers. If I do get anything else, I'll get the Coxinha Calupiry, which is a deep fried chicken meat shaped into a ball with cheese.
The place has a small sit-in area which is good enough to hang out and relax while you eat for some casual dining. Nothing too fancy here, but hey, it's cheap right? So just eat!
Definitely a place for a quick pick up. Don't get me wrong the burger was good but the service was hectic and forgetful. Asked for a pineapple juice and then I waited like 20 minutes and had to ask again in order to get it. Then I asked for no mayo on my burger. Then magically the sandwich came clearly with mayo! Sometimes forgetting to put no mayo on my sandwich can be a deal breaker. Luckily they made it work and burger was still good with the mayo. Then to top it all off, my friend almost got charged twice for one soda!
On the plus side it was a pretty damn good burger! I loved the fact that they top their burgers with potato sticks. It's an interesting twist. The fries I remember being good as well. I was also diggin the hot sauce. Also the pineapple juice was worth the wait!
All in all don't get me wrong, I loved the food but I wouldn't dine in there again. I would just place an order for pick up and be on my way. Maybe the one in Newark has better dine in options but haven't been there yet so I don't know.
I was on my way to Altas Horas last night, but then I saw this place.
Turns out it's another Brazilian style burger joint, except it's closer. It's a part of a chain, with 2 other locations in Newark. It is much more spacious than Altas Horas, but they're only open til midnight and they're a little bit more expensive.
But the important thing is the food, and I picked up a chicken ball and a cheese tudo. The cheese tudo consists of a burger, ham, fried egg, corn, potato sticks, lettuce, tomato and mayo. The bun here is structurally better than the sweet bread bun they use at Altas Horas, actually the whole sandwich is better put together, it was not falling apart from its massive size. But the sandwich was also pretty dry. Could have used more corn/mayo mix and the egg over easy. The sandwiches from Altas Horas are clearly juicier, I can see the juices from the meats dripping onto my fingers and plate.
The chicken ball, I didn't like too much. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was basically chicken salad minus mayo in a fried ball of dough. Kinda dry.
I'd hit this place in a pinch, but i prefer my usual spot, which is open 24 hours anyway.
This is a Brazilian sandwich place with other locations in Newark. I had a Hamburgao Beef here, which is a steak sandwich. It is the most expensive sandwich at $6.50. I was surprised by how big it was – it was over 3 inches thick. On a sesame bun, it came with two thin slices of steak, a fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes, a slice of ham, bacon, bits of corn, and potato stix! The sandwich is so big and delicious, it is more than filling enough to be a meal. The potato stix were an interesting addition – they taste just like the kind you find in those potato chip bags and they probably are the same.
They also have chicken sandwiches and hamburger patty burgers.
