록키즈 버거 (Rocky’s Burger)
Rocky's Burger is an American-style craft burger restaurant located in the International Central Market near the US military base in Sinjang-dong, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. Stepping inside immediately transports diners to a stateside diner, with retro decor, tabletop ordering tablets, and a crowd that is more than half composed of American military personnel and other international visitors. The restaurant has been featured on Korean television programs including Wassup Man. Patties come in 5oz and 7oz options, and upgrading to 7oz is strongly recommended. The smaller patty tends toward well-done territory with a drier, stiffer texture, while the 7oz version retains proper juiciness and beefy depth that showcases what a craft burger should deliver. The bacon cheeseburger ranks as the most popular order, combining crisply cooked bacon, melted cheese, and a sauce reminiscent of Big Mac dressing into an excellent package. The BBQ burger and chili cheese burger also earn high marks, and adding a touch of mayonnaise directly to the patty enhances the overall flavor. French fries are cut thick and fried to a satisfying crispness, and the optional bacon potato comes loaded with generous cheese. The milkshake has a thinner consistency that divides opinion. Prices sit above mainstream franchise burger levels, and the handmade preparation requires some wait time, but most visitors consider the quality-to-cost ratio fair. The interior is kept noticeably clean compared to other burger establishments. Public parking lots are available nearby.
