Route Nine Hamburger is an American style hamburger restaurant located in Sapporo near the city center. This burger joint is a throwback to those old 60’s diners. Counter seating, booths, and a checkered floor. It is full of Americana, which adds to the atmosphere while you are chowing down on one of their burgers. The menu here has fifteen different burgers on it. Most are your typical Western style burgers such as the classic cheeseburger, double burger, or chicken burger. Others have a more Japanese feel to them. There is an ‘ebi’ (shrimp) burger and a teriyaki burger.
All the burgers have a set meal option which is recommended. These meals come with a side of fries or onion rings, and also includes a drink. Drinks range here from juices and soft drinks, (and being open until two in the morning) to beer. Route Nine not only has burgers, but as with your good old burger restaurants, they have hotdogs as well. They also serve up a sirloin steak, fish & chips, buffalo wings, tacos, and loco moco. With reasonably easy access and open until early morning, this is not a bad place for lunch, or a late dinner.
