    Super greasy and thus delicious patties stuffed between small, strange buns, with lots of stuff on top. Add a pile of fries and lots of mayonnaise. Good burgers all in all, but tiring experience.

    One of the best burgers I've had in my entire life. The fries are top tier too. The chicken strips were also great. Everything is good! Great atmosphere and staff rounds it off, fantastic experience.

    The burgers are really good! I can recommend ‘The Filthy Harry’. I ordered it medium and it was perfect! As dessert you can get the cheesecake, you surely will leave without being hungry.

    This burger bar attracts hipsters, so book early! You can't go wrong with any burger on the menu and the cocktails and shots are of good quality. Ask for the special hot sauce!

    Try The Filthy Harry burger, but if you want it medium, make sure you'll order it "medium-rare", otherwise they're gonna overcook it. Awesome fries. Great service.

    I love the burgers, but I can't stand the sheer pretentiousness of the menu. The meat is good, even without putting down other food joints. And Iowa Beef Packers just aren't a point of pride.

    Try Da Birdhouse or the Fat Stingy Gonzales (killer guac). Jucy and luscious meat, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Fries could be better and service is deadly slow. Prepare to grease up to the elbows!

    The Burgers are homemade, delicious, just awesome. Great people too. Make a reservation, it's always packed in here.

    Great burgers! Make reservation and expect that your burgers will arrive at your table, eventually.

    Quality meat unfortunately served in toasties instead of buns and in a place lacking any charming atmosphere. If you wanna fill up with great burgers- yay. If you wanna enjoy eating out - nay.

    Ok guys, unless you try it, you don't know what you're missing. Meat is great, next time will go for medium instead of medium rare...fries was heaven....venue sucks big time though, really no identity

    Da Birdhouse. And for God's sake, don't order your meat well done. You'll end up ruining perfectly good beef.

    Possibly the best burgers in town. Da Birdhouse or the blue cheese burgers are both delicious. As are the side fries...

    The quality of the meat is amazing! The chips are home made and also fantastic. I recommend to book in advance.

    Get the rib eye steak and additional blue cheese sauce on the side. And make sure you dont miss out on the best cheese cake in town. Everything's home made btw.

    Great burgers and crisp fries - two thumbs way up for awesome service, too! Had a patty melt and would definitely return for another.

    The patty itself is absolutely great, but the burger itself poorly 'built': that much meat (250g) on a small toastie bread as a bun makes eating with hands very difficult!

    We wanted burgers medium done but they were overcooked & falling apart. Still, good fries and nice service.

    Big Cesar with steak - the steak is nice, the bbq sauce is handmade and awesome, the salad is... Okay but not great.

    If you're from outside Germany and you like it medium, order medium-rare. The overcook it (at least for Spanish standards).

    The fries are a bit limp and you could question the English muffin as a bun but the meat is second to none.

    They confused our order and brought us cheaper burgers, blamed it on us and in the end we had to pay burgers we didn't get. Horrible service, would never go there again.
