Elder Burger
엘더버거 Eldeo Beogeo Elder is simply the English word 'elder'; none of the posts explains why the shop chose it.

Elder Burger is an American-style burger shop on a side street right by Seoul Forest (Seoulsup 2-gil 40-7). You order at a kiosk and the burgers usually come wrapped in foil. The basic Elder Classic was listed at 11,500 won, or 16,500 won as a set with fries and a drink; the two-patty Double Elder Classic set was 22,500 won. There is outdoor terrace seating, and several posts came with dogs or babies. We read 30 posts dated May 18 to October 5, 2026; 22 describe an actual meal there. We set aside 2 that were about other places and 6 that were list articles or a passing line in a diary.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Ordering is by kiosk: eleven posts say so, and one mentions picking the food up yourself when the buzzer goes. The kiosk asks whether you want the burger foil-wrapped; two posts skipped it by mistake and ended up eating with a knife, so pick foil if you want to eat by hand. A self-serve bar beside the kiosk holds ketchup, pickles and jalapeños, and one post used the sink next to it to wash hands.
- There is outdoor seating out front: eight posts mention the terrace, and one ate outside on a fine day. One described it as small. Inside, posts mention the room being divided into sections, with a separate hall further in.
- Three posts ate there with a dog. One saw a 'WELCOME PET' sign at the door and sat both indoors and out; another, with the dogs in a pet stroller, was shown to a table further inside and got the impression a carrier or stroller is expected.
- Four posts came with children, including a seven-month-old and three grandchildren; one Sunday 1 p.m. visitor said most tables had small kids. Nobody mentioned high chairs or a changing table, which means no one wrote about them, not that they are missing.
2 more
- Eight posts call the frying crisp. Several rate the onion rings above the fries; swapping them into a set costs 2,000 won more. Three posts used or saw a review event that gives free onion rings for a Naver review.
- Four posts say it is not cheap, one remarking that burgers now cost over 15,000 won and another that 14,500 won for the New Classic is a bit much. Three posts also say the portion was bigger than it looked and they could not finish.

Parking

One post says the shop has no parking of its own and used the Seongdong sports center public lot; other drivers used nearby paid lots such as Seoul Forest's or D Tower's. Copied info blocks contradict each other on parking, so we did not count them.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Step at the entrance | 1 of 22 posts |
|---|---|
| Step-free access | 2 of 22 posts |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 22 posts |
No one described the floor level from experience; the 'ground floor' in the address is copied. One post mentions a low step at the entrance.
One post got a baby stroller in despite a low step at the entrance, and another pushed in a pet stroller. No one came in a wheelchair, so we do not know how many steps there are or whether there is a ramp.
One post says the restroom is inside the shop. Two posts list separate men's and women's restrooms, but only in copied info blocks, so we did not count them.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 28 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Waits vary. One post waited 40 to 50 minutes on a Saturday in October 2026 using Catch Table's remote queue, and the food was slow after ordering too. Three posts walked straight in (a Sunday at 1 p.m., another weekend day, and one undated). One more said the burgers took about 15 minutes.
- Saltiness splits two to two: two posts found it salty (the Double Elder Classic and the shrimp burger), two said it was not.
- One post took the subway to Ttukseom Station and walked. Several posts give walking times from Seoul Forest Station exits, but these read as copied directions, so we did not count them.
- Eleven posts list opening hours, all copied from info blocks: nine say 11:30 to 20:30, two say it opens at 11:00 (one closing at 21:00). One gives last order at 20:00 and two say it never closes. Check before you go.
- Prices differ slightly between posts: the Elder Classic is 11,500 won in two and 12,500 won in one; the set is 16,500 won in two and 15,900 won in one; the Forest set is 22,500 or 21,900 won. The differences do not line up with dates, so we cannot tell whether prices changed.
- Three posts copied the phone number 02-462-5612. None says whether the shop takes reservations; posts only mention joining a remote queue on Catch Table when it is busy.
- The 'three-time US best burger award', the in-house hydroponic greens, bread baked daily and the TV appearance are the shop's own claims or hearsay, so we did not count them. Three list posts repeat the same phrases in the same order, and one adds an oak-fire grill that no other post mentions.
