    Best burgers in Zurich! Try at least once the Elvis Blue cheese burger for a different burger journey. While burgers are awesome, the place is a fast food place so don't expect great room ambience.

    Tried bacon avocado chicken and veggie chèvre so far. Both were very delicious! Good value for money, especially if you are a student🤓

    I encourage you to try the chicken burgers at least once. They are tender and not at all boring with lots of variations to choose from. Plus that’s some solid CO2 saving by sparing the beef patty.

    Mexicana beef is good if you like it spicy. Get the menu, French fries is so good. Pay extra chf 3 to get the Burger Brew beer, instead of soft drinks. Oh, the staff said no wifi :(

    All the burgers are delicious! Also, if you order the menu, pick the Syrup as your drink. Free refills and 4 different flavours make for a blissful experience.

    The burgers are better than those that you get at fast food chains but not as good as those in pubs etc. But hey, they awsome for 20 chf + fries + drinks. The place reminds me on my uni days 😊

    American style burger never disappoints!Their fries are very crunchy but fluffy inside. Their menu is in French but it's easy to figure out. Get as much as you need mayo at the condiment bar!

    It's a very casual place, yet delicious. Coming from the US, I loved being able to have wine with my burger!

    bacon avacado burger pairs well with their house beer. Ask for it with sauce on the side

    Potato chips are delicious but i cant say the same for the burgers. On the other hand there is no kind of coke in the beverage menu which is ridiculus to me since its a burger place

    Had the King Kong Carnivore. 330g of beef, bacon and chorizo for a smoky flavour. Amazingly tasty although the meat was slightly too done

    May not be the best burger in town, but definitely one of the fastest. Though their fries can be the best.

    Definitely more of a fast food joint than a restaurant, slightly better than McDonald's quality but the environment couldn't be more noisy.

    Not impressive. The upstairs dining room was so hot, the bun was an inch wider than the burger all around, the meat was bland and had a gummy texture, and the fries tasted like frozen fries.
