3. High Joint

High Joint offers a range of mouthwatering burgers, each crafted with premium ingredients. The famous High Jamz features an Angus beef patty, antibiotic and hormone-free, topped with cheese, homemade bacon jam, ranch sauce, and crispy fried shallots. Mmh, seems tasty, right?

Another favorite, the Smokey, has a premium Angus beef patty with beef bacon, melted pepper jack cheese, crispy tempura onions, BBQ sauce, and chipotle sauce. So yummy!

While they stick to classic burgers, High Joint occasionally introduces limited editions like the Lotus Burger, which we spotted all over social media. For us, it’s a big no, as we prefer savoring good meat with a well-balanced combination of cheese and sauce. But if you’re into experimentation, check it out!
