Today was my first visit, as I have been hearing about this place for over a year now. I ordered the classic cheeseburger, but substituted the emmentaler (yuck) for cheddar and added bacon as well. Since it was my first time, and I quickly ordered, I forgot to order it with the double patty. You should order the double, because one will leave you wanting more. I also ordered the "Italian" fries (parmesan & rosemary). Don't buy drinks here - they're way too expensive in proportion to the burger prices. I brought my own water from home.
The burger was excellent (for Vienna) and, so far, the best tasting one I have found, here, thus far. Up until today, that honor was held by Le Burger - which I still also like. The burger actually tasted how a beef burger is supposed to taste (based on my American tastebuds). I don't know why other Austrian places "doctor" up their meat with weird spices and produce cooked meat with odd consistencies. This place has it right, probably just beef and salt for seasoning. Close to what you might get at a Shake Shack.
They really need to decide whether it's a gourmet burger place, or fast food. The burger, by itself, is priced right. Everything else is priced wrong. The drinks and add-ons will deplete your funds pretty quickly. Charging extra for every condiment - that's larceny. I appreciate that it's all homemade, but burgers, fries, and ketchup deserve to live together in harmony.
I went around 13:30 and there weren't so many people there; it was easy to get a table. I have read other reviews and some people have had quite a difficult time in the evenings securing a table and determining a queueing system. The service was polite, quick, and they easily accommodated my special request to substitute the cheese. I was so pleased with my burger that I ordered a second one, as well - this time the jalapeño burger.
I'll definitely be going back again soon. read more
