Rarer seems to be the default preparation. Hand down some of the best fries I have had from any establishment. America needs to step up it's game. I went adventurous and requested animal style. The rich bacon mayo was contrasted equisitely by the pickled jalapenos and magical pumpkin seeds. I would tell you more about those toppings but the details were lost to the overall euphoria caused by the meal.

Well, after working all…read moreday and a long scooter tour of the city, a burger, fries and a beer sounded like the perfect dinner. I've had many burgers in my life, perhaps I was just starving or perhaps it's true, but this as a top 5 burger! A smash burger with cheese, jalapeños and special sauce, accompanied by fries and truffle mayo and a cold beer was absolute perfection. So, it's ok to feel like you're cheating on American burgers and it's ok to try the great American delicacy in a foreign land. You won't be disappointed.

Being American, I LOVE the vibe here. Their navy themed decor (splashed with vintage American flags…read morehere and there) is awesome, their music playlist is retro-rad and their mojitos are the best I've had anywhere as of yet in Finland. They also have these honey-rum drinks which are SCRUMPTIOUS. There's no other word for it. Made out of organic honey (which they buy from a friend who has a honey bee farm), rum, bitters and an orange slice (think it was an orange? lol), it's just like a dessert. Also recommend their "Perfect Storm" drink. Bartender was awesome and I loved watching him make the drinks. He took his time and made sure that each drink tasted as good as the last one. Got pretty damn crowded later at night so had to wait a while for a single drink but was perfect otherwise. Definitely coming back to this joint.

Without a reservation, we were fortunate to get a table for three and started off with beers. A very nice platter of "Pickles and Cheese" had some interesting things on there that were a great appetizer. Pickled pineapple, sliced cucumber and such. It definitely made me ready for the main course. I chose the ribs and was a little jealous of my friend's choice of the brisket. It was a full rack of ribs, which arrived not quite warm though the fried potatoes on the side were still hot. Perhaps a little overdone, but I have a very high standard for barbecue. Very meaty, lots of food here. An ice cream and cookie dessert was shared. Ice cream was good, the cookie part was interesting. [Review 10102 overall, 1688 of 2018.]

Before I start, I'm a native Texan so I know a thing or two about BBQ -- picky as hell. It's been a home run at B-Smokery both times. If I had to pick, their ribs and coleslaw are my favorite -- plenty of meat on the ribs, and nice vinegar hint to the slaw to give it that acidic kick. This particular night, I had their "small" all-in platter that samples all the meat -- ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and two sides, coleslaw and grilled veggies were my choice. Cornbread included. Everything was delicious. And the "small" portion was super filling. If I had to be critical, the beer selection is fairly limited. But they've expanded the bar selection since the previous time I was here, so at least they're getting there :) I warmly recommend B-Smokery -- go there today, like now, and get your BBQ grub on! Lots of value here with affordable, savory, filling portions. Honest assessment: Best BBQ I've had in Finland.

Luckily I found Morrison's only 3 blocks from our hotel (Hotel Kamp). The menu has something for everyone. They have a good selection of appetizers like mozzarella sticks and loaded fries. The burger list is extensive including chicken and plant-based burgers. There is also a good selection of beer and some wine. I had the weiner schnitzel which was excellent! The burgers were all great and huge. There were also salads and other options. There is a kids menu with burgers, chicken fingers, and pasta. Heads up...the kids burgers are not small! All servers spoke English and were extremely nice to us. The drinks and food came out in a good time. The location is like a small restaurant/diner style. There were about 15-20 tables and there was a large table for our party of 8. Still water was free for the table and they had Pepsi products (the only thing I would change!!). They also do take-away. We loved Morrison's so much that we ate there again on our last night in Helsinki. If you are in the mood for good "American" style food in Helsinki, Morrison's is exactly what you are looking for! We were so jetlagged that I forgot pictures of the food...sorry!!!

The bar owner is a total fan of the Texas Tornadoes and anything Texan. He's a Finn, but has traveled to the Lone Star State several times to take in the beauty, and is bringing a little Texas to Finland! I felt like this bar would be right at home in the Texas Hill Country. Around the bar, you'll find posters depicting the likes of Doug Sahm, Dale Watson, and Willie Nelson. There are Lone Star flags up over the register! God Bless Texas! The owner is a bigger Texas Tornadoes fan than I am, and I love their stuff- I thought I knew all their songs, but they've worked some Texas Tornado references into the bar that even I had to stop and think on. On Monday nights, they hold a jam session (no cover!), where local musicians get together and jam on a country/rockabilly rhythm, and crank out the jams. The best was hearing Johnny Cash sung with a Finnish accent! They have an extensive beer and liquor list, and the staff is friendly. The place feels safe, and clean. There are plenty of places to sit, along with some slot machines. They offer the national beer of Finland on draft, Karhu, but most of their best beers are micro-brews from a bit further north in Finland- amazing IPAs. The prices are quite reasonable, and it's warm inside. I had an absolute blast hanging out here, and reminiscing of Texas with the owner- he brought out his guitar and jammed out some acoustic Texas Tornado music. I'll certainly be back next time I'm in Helsinki!

American Bar is in the "0" level of the Hotel Torni. If the sun has already set and you're not headed to the rooftop bar, this is the best spot for a round of drinks.

A great location to go in that case is the American bar at Torni. Ranked as one of the top bars in the whole country and designed as a typical New York bar it offers a big variety of all kinds of drinks. You can choose from a big whiskey selection, have a nice wine or ask the bartender to prepare you one of their legendary cocktails. In the evening they quite often also have live piano music. But even if the place makes you want to stay for longer you should think about keeping it one drink. Cocktails start from 12 Euros, wine and beer are also quite pricy and with whiskeys it's even possible to pay 400 Euros for one glass. My advice: drink slowly.
