Answer

You would say "I would like a hamburger, please"

Also you can say "I will have the hamburger, please"

"I will have the steak with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes"

"I would like a glass of red wine"

Answer

I really appreciate your kindness Shay. Thanks!

Answer

I agree with the answers Courtney gave you, but I would also add that you can say: "Can I get a hamburger?" when ordering (at least in Canada). To use your other examples, you could say " Can I get the steak with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes?" or "Can I get a glass of red wine?". I'm not sure if these are used in Australia, but here in Canada we use this quite often. I think it's because it sounds less demanding and therefore more polite when phrased as a question.
