1/3 HAMBURGER FACTORY (ワンサードハンバーガーファクトリー) brings an American suburban vibe to Kanazawa, serving up substantial gourmet burgers from a standalone shop complete with a lawn, a dog-friendly terrace, and its own parking lot. The main event is the thick, coarse-grind beef patty, smashed on the grill for a satisfying crust, served on a custom-made bready bun that holds up to the generous fillings.
Guests consistently praise the juicy, meat-forward patties and the well-balanced sauces. Standout dishes frequently mentioned in reviews include the hefty Avocado Cheese Burger, the New York-inspired Cheese Popai (with spinach), and the classic Bacon-Egg-Cheese. Portions are large, and extras like good milkshakes and free soft drink refills with sets add to the appeal. Staff are noted as being friendly and helpful, often explaining to first-timers the best way to tackle the tall burgers.
The main caveats are practical ones. Several reviewers find it slightly expensive for a burger, and the large size makes them messy to eat—using the provided paper wrappers is recommended. A few guests also found the fries underwhelming. Expect a short wait for a table during peak lunch and dinner hours.
A typical meal for lunch or dinner costs between ¥2,000 and ¥2,999. Reviewers recently paid around ¥1,800 for an Avocado Cheese Burger and ¥1,900 for a Bacon-Egg-Cheese burger. Adding a set with potatoes and a refillable soft drink costs about ¥500. Most agree that the quality and size of the burgers offer good value for the price, though it's not a budget meal.
