Mini-burger restaurant Burgerim opens a downtown Milwaukee location

Burgerim, the California-based chain selling mini-burgers, opened its first Wisconsin location this week, at 1001 N. Old World Third St.

The 3-ounce patties and fillets are sold in twos or threes, with prices starting at $7 for two burgers; three with fries and a soda are $13.

The options include beef, dry-aged beef, veggie burger, salmon, chicken, turkey, chorizo and beef merguez sausage; halal meat is available. Diners can customize their sandwiches with sauces and toppings such as a fried egg. 

Sides, wings and desserts also are on the menu.

Hours at the Burgerim downtown are 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and 10:30 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. A grand opening celebration is expected in a month or so.

The location, a former Cousins sub shop, has seats for 40 customers. Online ordering and delivery will be available later; in the meantime, customers can phone in takeout orders at (414) 800-7010 or (414) 800-7099.
