Tucked away in the backstreets of Harajuku among cutesy cafés and creperies is the enduring California-style joint, The Great Burger. At this long-time establishment of Harajuku, the laid-back, beachy atmosphere is typically what attracts passing shoppers, but it's the burgers that people are willing to stand in line for.
With its extensive menu, you can have burgers any way you want, whether it's with the ever-popular combo of bacon and jalapeno, or slightly more eccentric toppings like grilled pineapple or baked apple and gorgonzola. To wash it all down, you can order American beverages that are hard to come by in Tokyo, like Cherry Cola and Rootbeer. However, the restaurant also features a selection of craft beers on the tap for those looking to roll straight from lunch into happy hour.
