Gasoline Grill

Gasoline Grill is a classic American inspired burger place (joint) based in Copenhagen. It opened its first burger bar in 2016 at an old gas station at Landgreven, a unique location in the center of the city. Since its founding, it has been one of the fastest-growing burger concepts in Denmark. Today, Gasoline Grill owns and operates six locations in the Copenhagen area (Landgreven, Niels Hemmingsens Gade, Carlsbergbyen, Værnedamsvej, Hellerup, and Strandgade - a high-end food market curated and run by the Noma Group and situated by the Copenhagen Habour). As well as franchised locations in Tivoli and Copenhagen Airport. The concept is simple and authentic, a perfected classic burger using only organic ingredients, of which a few are secret. There is a limited number of burgers each day. Therefore, only an opening hour, no closing hour - It simply closes when it gets sold out.
