Steak Burger - Homemade Brownie

My husband & I arrived in Madrid from Seville via the rail station. When we arrived at our hotel…read morethey said it was too early for us to get checked into a room, as it wasn't ready yet. We looked on Yelp for some food suggestions, & my husband made note of Steak Burger place as we were being driven to our hotel. It had some nice reviews, so we thought we'd give it a try. As soon as we walked in, I said "yum" it smelled amazing inside the restaurant!! We were immediately seated at a comfy table for 2, & given a UPC code to look up their full menu. We decided on a steak burger with bacon & cheese. We chose the smallest of the three options, it was more than enough to fill both of us up. It was delicious!! I looked at my husband & said "this is the best beef we've had since we left home (8 weeks ago!)". We've been through 7 other countries since we departed on 5/1/25. The bacon cheeseburger came with fries & they were crispy, yet tender on the inside. After we finished, our waiter (who made sure we had what we needed, but didn't fuss over us) asked if we wanted dessert. My hubby said "what do you have". When our waiter mentioned cheesecake, my husbands eyes lit up & so we ordered their cheesecake. It was one of the largest slices we have ever been served out at a restaurant. It had raspberry crumbles on top of it (I would have preferred chocolate, because what doesn't go with chocolate???). My husband probably would have chosen fresh strawberries on top, but he thoroughly enjoyed the raspberry crumbles. All in all it was a very delicious meal for about 28 euros (not too bad). It was a lively atmosphere, so if you want peace & quiet, it's not the place for you. We split everything we ordered, & we both left quite full. My only negative comment (which may not bother some people) is: Of all of the places we've had meals at over the last 8 weeks in Europe, this one was the most like US restaurants in that they want to turn tables as quickly as possible. They were swamped (we were seated immediately which was a plus for us) but I saw a woman approach our waiter about getting a table in this very busy restaurant, & not long after that, the same waiter approached a couple next to us & within minutes the couple were moved to a table near the rear of the restaurant. The lady who had approached our waiter & her 2 friends were seated at that now vacant table. Shortly after that, a young guy sitting at a high top bar looking table, by himself, was moved to somewhere else in the restaurant & 3 young ladies ended up with his original table. As we were leaving I noticed the three young ladies moving. Another couple was standing near our table, were apparently waiting to be seated, & I assume they were seated at our table before we reached the door to exit. In my opinion, It was a lot of shuffling, but I guess it turns more tables & makes the owner/manager group happy. As we finished with items it they were quickly removed from our table, which also expedites the clearing of tables & makes it quicker to seat new people, thus turning more money. I really liked the idea of your table is yours until you decide you don't want it anymore, everywhere else in Europe.

The food is great. Super slow service. The one female staff server is good but they have her doing…read moreall the jobs. She's the waitress, the table cleaner, and the bartender. It's too much for one person while three other people- no uniformity, just walking around with credit card machine and not helpful. The cleanliness could be better. They need better management as the revenue can probably go up about 50% more. certainly under staffed, they could use two bartenders and two more bus boys and one more waiter. Vacant down stairs level is unused/ vacant. Waste of space when 20-30 more people could sit. The overworked waitress just left in the middle of a rush because she got yelled at by her boss to work harder and no one was helping her. Not coming back. And our 3 mojitos ...was basically lemonade w mint and ice, sour as sh*t w no alcohol. The manager was giving excuses of "shift change". (apparently reviews from a year ago also say their excuse was/is shift change) It's not the shift change problem, it's the management problem. What he really has is a lack of ability to run this restaurant smoothly. They need more staff, waiters, and bartenders. The only reason why they're staying alive is because they are on a busy street and unsuspecting tourists don't know better.

This place is amazing! Yes, it's a chain but that doesn't make a difference here in Spain. Although…read morea chain, because it's Spain, your experience can differ from restaurant to restaurant in not just quality but options as well. The burgers, wraps, and fries at this location are awesome! They have a daily menu that gets you a burger with fries and a drink around 14€. The staff is friendly and helpful and speak English if you need it. The atmosphere is dimly lit and warm in essence. Overall, this is a great fast-food, chain restaurant. If you find another one of these, go and try it out, but this one is verified legit.

After three weeks in Europe (and lots of our own cooking,) we were jonesing for a premium burger…read more Lots of local and chain options where we're staying in the Salamanca neighborhood, but the gorgeous posters we'd seen for Goiko sucked us in. Neither of us speak much Spanish, but we can greet and order food and always try to be polite and friendly. No chance here, as we got an immediate eye-roll and a pantomime point to a QR code for the English menu from our cold and rushed server, Anton. We took a while to enjoy the well-written menu, but we're hustled to order several times. When we were ready, our fairly clear (don't think I butchered " BB Queen Smash y cerveza Alhambra Reserva" too much,) prefer was met with more eyerolls, and we had to resort to finger-pointing the menu. Were not asked how we wanted our burgers cooked, but maybe that's just the way here. The food, as expected, was less appealing than the photos - not disagreeable, though. Tasty, to a degree, but crazy salty and Shoe-leather dry. All of that would be forgivable, but there are no excuses for the rudeness and unwelcoming service. 35 Euro for two burger, two beers and a water that showed up as a premium glass-bottle example with (apparently) no option for tap. About as expected for price. Stay away, they don't want you here.

It came out as raw hamburger that had possibly passed by some kind of heat source. I brought it up to our waitperson who suddenly couldn't communicate in English or Spanish.

Terrible. They served raw burgers, not rare, blue. After taking them back to our hotel and…read morefiguring out the quality issue, we returned to fix the error, which they then were snarky about and proceeded to recook the burgers, removing all toppings and return to us. When checked again and they were still partially raw, missing toppings and half the portion. The experience was a prime example of terrible service. Truly awful. Over priced, terrible service, terrible cooks, and ripped off. The only compliment to them is the quality of ingredients. If the manager of this establishment is reading this; please retrain your cooks and staff to do better and know that raw ground beef is a health hazard, warrant of the restaurant being shut down, as well as to not to cheat the customer. When raw ground beef comes into contact with the machine for grinding it is heavily exposed to contamination via both the machine and after its grinding during the period of time it is held. There have been many instances of deaths from e coli due to raw ground beef in burgers. Do not support this establishment until they have resolved their lack of food safety, instead go to the other burger joint a block away called "Butchers".
