You’re tired from surfing or swimming and need a good lunch? Here are some spots to fill up on some hearty burgers. Don’t go hungry, pack up those wet and sandy kids, and go grab a comfortable meal that reminds you of home.
Sometimes you are traveling with the family and eating every adventurous thing you can find, and sometimes you need something safe. A meal everyone in the car can agree on. The next time you find yourself in this situation by the East Sea in Gangwon-do, here are 5 burger joints to get you through the day.
What are the burgers like on the East Coast?
These burgers spots range in taste from Korean-inspired to very western. They also offer a comfortable, western-style atmosphere that can make you feel at home when you are far from home. Not all of the restaurants have an English menu, but many do. If they do not, you can always use Papago or Google translate to read the menus.
When are the restaurants open, anything I should be aware of before I go?
Remember that many restaurants will have a break-time between 3:00 and 5:00. You will need to be seated about 45 minutes before they close so don’t arrive later than 2:15 for lunch. Sometimes the burger joints may also close a bit early. Consider them a better lunch option than a dinner option.
