On Pannierstraße, just steps off Sonnenallee, BBI — short for Berlin Burger International — sits as a compact Neukölln burger gem with a loyal local following.

The shop is run by true enthusiasts who built up their fanbase the slow way, long before smash patties and pulled pork landed on every Berlin corner. Patties and sauces are built by hand inside the shop instead of arriving in bulk, and the menu covers classic and offbeat burgers alike. The most-recommended pick is the El-Gordonita, with guacamole and sweet potato chips — exactly the classic-meets-offbeat mix BBI is known for.
