The Sportsman on Soi 13

[Evil Penevil]

EDIT IN- The price of the Wednesday special  described below is now 195 baht.

 

I tried the Wednesday special at the Sportsman- hamburger, fries and a SML for 150 baht-  and I was quite happy with my meal.  The burger was good; the fries had improved dramatically since my previous visit; and the price is very much value for money.   Here's what I got:

 

 

I chose to add a slice of cheese for 20 baht.  It was also topped with two small slices of tomato and a ring of raw onion.  The bun was fresh and nicely toasted and the red oak lettuce leaf added a nutty and spicy touch to the beef patty.

 

 

The beef patty itself was well-seasoned, which was a good thing, as the patty didn't have a strong beef flavor.  

 

 

The thick-cut french fries arrived hot and had been fried to outer crispness, although for my tastes, they should have stayed in the fryer a few more seconds.  I realize this may in part be cultural rather than culinary; I know a lot of U.K. diners seem to prefer lightly fried fries.  In any case, the fries were much, much better than last time.

 

 

Can you find bigger and better burgers in Pattaya?  Most definitely, but you'll be paying more than 150 baht for them.  Considering the special at the Sportsman includes a SML, it's well worth the price.

Yup, what you see on the plate plus a bottle of SML for 170.  Minus the cheese it would be 150 baht. The price of the special is 150 baht (hamburger, fries and a bottle of SML).  I don't know if you can substitute another brand of beer.  The special specified SML and that's what I normally drink.

Great deal.

And yes,I would Defiantely spring for cheese.

BTW,how did you get a felt pen to leave such a beautiful signature of Evil on the plate?

[Evil Penevil]

Talk about unlucky timing.  I just read on another board that Wednesday (March 30) was the final day for the hamburger, fries and SML special at 150 baht.   I don't bother with the Facebook food groups any more, so I would have missed that announcement from the Sportsman's general manager.

That's great value for 150 baht, all looks good enough to eat! Pity they've stopped it now.

The same deal was also launched couple of years at Shenanigans (now closed), Robin's Nest and Punch & Judy. Dont know if they are still doing it.

its 195b from today for the san mig and burger deal on wednesday - burger is 200g, not sure if it was the same before - they make the burgers themselves.

I'm getting my info about the price change second-hand, so thanks to everyone for helping clear things up..
