Haven't really eaten anything in the past 4 days so I was looking for somewhere to eat to satisfy…read moremy hunger. Came across this place on Yelp and saw it had good reviews so I wanted to check it out for myself. Just the sight of people's pictures of the burgers made me really hungry and it was practically the only thing on my mind all day. Decided to make it a night out, and reserved a table relatively late into the evening. Finding the place was more than alright. It's hardly hard to miss. In the middle of Spain something America styled sticks out like a saw thumb. As I don't speak much Spain, I was worried that communicating was going to be a little tough but turned out to be more than alright. There was a tone of options on the menu to choose from but had to stick with what I saw on the website which was Pulled Pork Burger, Chicken Stripes and Chips with bacon on. When the food came I was pretty overwhelmed if I'm honest. I got my money's worth. I thought I'd get three or four Chicken Stripes but turns out it was a basket. The burger was really big and chock full as well. It was really yummy and didn't even touch the sides. I couldn't manage it all so some of it had to be taken back in a bag which I'll eat at home. Overall, great service, great food, great music/atmosphere and a great night out. Well worth it!

Excellent, excellent cheeseburger and fries. Kid approved!…read more Jose, the owner, speaks very good English and paid meticulous attention to our order. The location was just down the street from our rented apartment and was a welcome change to the tapas crawl. Everyone was tired and worn out so we got the order to go. Not any problem. I'd definitely eat here again. Thanks Jose!

When…read moreyou are wondering, where is the olive oil or butter for the bread you realize you don't need it because you'll want to dip your bread in the sauces. Just a wonderful harmony of flavors, whether red meats or seafood. What's more impressive to me is they clear your plates quite a few times when you share some entrées and appetizers. If you're lucky to come on a crystal clear day, you'll maybe sit in the patio area under the umbrellas. Order a bottle of their La Orza house white for dirt cheap and your meal is complete. Certain high seasons, you may not be able to get a reservation, however, all the local guides know the owner so ask your tour guide how you can maybe get in.

Great food, but badgered for alcohol 7 times in one hour…read more The food and ambiance were good, but the service was unacceptable. I was dining with my teenage son, and despite ordering a full three-course meal (two appetizers, two mains, and two desserts), our server treated us like we were an inconvenience because we weren't ordering cocktails. There seems to be an unspoken rule here: if you don't order at least two alcoholic drinks per person, you aren't welcome. Our waiter was smug and self-important, pressuring me to order alcohol seven (7) separate times over the course of an hour. When I politely declined, he actually scoffed and told me, "In Spain, everyone has wine with their meals." We had already ordered two Cokes and two bottles of sparkling water, yet it felt like our "value" as guests was tied solely to a liquor quota. It is incredibly off-putting to be lectured on cultural drinking habits while trying to enjoy a meal with my son. If you're looking for hospitality rather than a high-pressure sales pitch, look elsewhere.

If it wasn't so gosh darn hot that day, I would not have looked twice at Tommy Mel's. I mean,…read morehello, I'm in Spain, why on earth would I go eat American food!?!? I was exhausted and hot from walking all day and needed a cool refreshment. Darn you, Tommy Mel's, and that big sign outside your door advertising your milkshakes. We sat right near the front of the restaurant near the ice cream counter, as we were just going to split a shake and leave. If you are wanting any service at all, do NOT sit there. We were largely ignored, and it was difficult to get the attention of any of the servers. As for their advertised "Freakshake", it was a LOT smaller than expected, and totally not worth the calories, or the 9 euros.

We had hands down the best burgers of our lives! I had the Top cheese burger and my friend had the Doris BBQ chicken and both were delicious! 10/10 would recommend! Prices for the burgers were both around €10 but it was worth it. The staff were amazing and very welcoming and helpful. As soon as we walked in a waiter seated us to a booth, left us to choose our order and came straight back just in time. Their english was also great so the communication was without a flaw. After that we ordered a huge caramel milkshake for about €9. The only downhill was that we waited for it for quite some time. But its deliciousnes made up for it. Again, overall 10/10 would recommend trying the place and I for sure will come back someday!

The real…read morestory is that most of the restaurants in Spain do not open until 8:00 pm...and we were getting up early the next day...so...this was the only local to hotel place that was open at 6:30. So...I got a chili dog with fries...one of those super healthy meals! It was actually done well! The fries were quite good...and the chili dog was good. Service was a bit slow by US standards...but not too bad.

A bit of a splurge but worth it when in Madrid and in the mood for a steak. Located a few blocks…read moreeast of Puerta del Sol, it's nice because there are no hordes of people you have to navigate to find it. This is a place for people who appreciate their food and the experience, not for the tourist masses that are looking to get fed quick and cheap. It is an interesting set up as they have dining rooms on both sides of the street. I was in the one on the east side of the street and taken downstairs into the basement which has the looks of a refurbished ancient cellar. I had a 2 top in the corner to myself with a great view of the room so I could appreciate what everyone else was eating. I had a very civilized time. Frenetic Tapas this is not. There are white linen tablecloths present, a small container of housemade chimichurri, menus on line, great wi-fi service, a full bar and wine list, and menus that are bovine centric. I had an Argentine Negroni (the Argentine nod is due to a splash of Fernet Branca giving it a slight minty taste on the back end) and a glass of affordable, high ranking Tempranillo. These were perfect with the olive and bread starters with EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table to mix to taste and also served with compounded butter. I was there to eat and the Mollejas (veal sweetbreads) are a must in my opinion. They are listed as a house specialty and come on a charcoal heated sizzle plate served with a side of broad flaked sea salt to finish to taste. Crispy edges and creamy textures throughout with a hit of grilled lemon and they were simply sublime. I also took down an Entraña (skirt steak) that seemed larger than its described 300 grams. Also served on a sizzle plate it was perfectly cooked by some expert grill guys upstairs. To ensure that I ate something with color, I had a salad on the side that I dressed to taste with the EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table. The service here is friendly, professional, and not overbearing. My meal was about $85 USD which is pricey by typical Madrid eating standards but it was worth it considering the quality, quantity, and variety of what I experienced. I would be happy to go back here again any time I'm in the area!
