Amazing burger! The bun was soft and fresh, the minced meat was freshly made, and the fries were quite crispy. I liked the fact that we could pick the ingredients using a checklist upon entry, with all the illustrated options. There are seats both inside and outside. The burger place is located in a very quiet area. The waitstaff was professional, and I appreciated the background music, which created a cool atmosphere.

We found with the colleagues this place on google maps and decided to pay a visit. We were welcomed right at the entrance and asked if we want to eat, then presented with a paper where you can detail the ingredients of the burger you’d like to receive; a very clever idea! The person at the desk was very kind and answered all questions, also recommended to a colleague to double check the choice since he took by mistake a very large portion of fries to take away on paper, compared to what he wanted. The 3 burgers coupled with fries were ready in about 10-15 minutes, and we took them back to our office to eat. Fries were crispy and perfect and remained tasty until the office. The burger and sauce in it was really really good, I took the vegan version and was absolutely not disappointed. The place itself has a nice atmosphere with memorabilia around the walls and counter and a nice American/alternative vibe, coupled with good music in the background. I have only spoken in my bad German, but I’m sure English would be fully ok to speak there! Me and the colleagues will for sure go back to eat again once we get the chance, thank you for the great service!

My nephew found this place while going for a walk, not sure why I had never heard of it but it was really good. Burger was fully customisable and was cooked brilliantly. I can’t wait to go back again.
