The Bite

Let's get this out of the way first: the food is incredible and the staff is very friendly. Insanely good fries and the burger was excellent. There are two outdoor condenser units near the front of the restaurant servicing the apartments above. That means when it's hot outside, people indoors turn on their AC, which makes these outdoor units pump out even hotter air... The front of the restaurant is a sauna in the summer. The atmosphere is a bit too cozy for my taste, with seating exclusively in an alleyway between two apartments. Langstrasse isn't a great street in general, so the view outdoors isn't anything special. I won't bother complaining about the price. It's incredibly expensive, but I feel like you get high enough quality food that it's almost justified here. If you're here only for the food and staff, you'll be very happy.

I had the classic burger, which was super tasty and tender. The sweet potato fries were amazing - crisp on the outside and soft inside. The staff was super friendly! The covered outdoor patio made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Honestly, this is tough to write because this place serves some of the best burgers in Zurich, no question. The food was absolutely on point, and we genuinely enjoyed the whole experience during the meal. The waiter was also very friendly and attentive throughout. However, the ending left a really bad impression. After we declined dessert, we were casually offered a grappa or limoncello. We agreed to a grappa, assuming it was a small complimentary gesture or at least something reasonably priced, as is often the case. There was no mention of the price at any point. Only the next day, when splitting the bill with friends, did we realize we had been charged CHF 18 per shot, totaling CHF 72 for 4 grappas, which ended up being about a third of the entire bill. That honestly felt quite misleading. Even if it’s technically on the menu somewhere, offering something like that without any price indication comes across as a bit of a shady upsell tactic. It’s a real shame, because everything else, especially the burgers, were excellent. But this experience left a sour taste, and unfortunately I won’t be coming back.

I’d love to give you a good 4 but I would lie if I did. If I were luckier, I guess I would have had a better experience. The food is OK, but attention to detail is missing. I’ll provide more info below. We came as a group of 5 for lunch. We came in, and stopped at the entry, the waiter came to us but then saw another group (of 6) come through the door behind us. He rushed past us to the other group, greeted them warmly, sat them down. We stood there watching like: what’s going on? What’s this selective treatment… I had a bacon lunch burger. I asked for medium well (got a full well done), asked no onions (got no onions in salad but they were in the burger), and they forgot to put pickles in my burger. All small things but overall gives a very mediocre result. The place was not full, there were many empty tables. Idk if I come back, most probably not. The lunch offer is nice, but it also does not make sense to wait 40 for the burger… we all have limited time. Mind me saying, the other group had their food served and ready a lot earlier than us… this situation was just so much in the face that it left an ashy aftertaste. Cheers!

Truly a perfect 10/10 restaurant! Came here for my annual Mardi Gras burger I eat before the start of lent, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The vibes were great, my husband and I both enjoyed our Californian and Classic burgers, and the drinks were great! Our server Valentina was so attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was a great classic American feel that also felt European. We would definitely come here again and also try their sister restaurants because it was so pleasant and enjoyable.
