What an expensive burger! I usually don't mind the price if the quality lives up to it. I ordered a burger with bacon and egg and the burger was quite dry. I ordered it based on yelp pictures and the egg wasn't even runny! Everyone knows runny eggs are the best because the bread soaks it and the carb reaches an entire new level. The patty was heavy but I don't like being full! Overall, these burgers are over priced. I'm certain you can get better burgers elsewhere. As for the sides, it came with a few potatoes and cole slaw? read more

Rachel - Rachel burger - Bagels Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Laura Palmer lives on in this Twin Peaks themed/decorated restaurant located in central Brussels. And it.is.Phenom! HOWEVER... I'd like to take this opportunity to perhaps be the first semi-hipster ever to say that I don't like David Lynch. Not one bit. And it's not that I don't 'get him'... I definitely get him, I just f*cking hate what I get. First off, all that stupid slow jazzy music with the constant ding of little cymbals at seemingly inappropriate times. HATE it. Worst signature ever. Second, (and this is where I'll end it so as to make this entire thing a rant, but just know that I could go on) watching a work by David Lynch feels like homework. I keep waiting for the turning point where I'll see the genius like everyone else supposedly does, but it never comes and it always ends with me being mind-numbingly bored for 2+ hours, then trying to Google wtf just happened, then STILL not knowing what the point was. Do they make Cliff Notes for these things? Personally, when I hear people say they love David Lynch I can't help but think that David Lynch is off somewhere laughing at them (definitely NOT with them) for being able to make money off fooling people with nonsensical hullabaloo... and other words that only your grandmother would use. Is there anyone out there that can confidently explain (the confident thing is key because anyone can just fudge up a half-assed explanation) that sh*t to me? And you have to be able to wrap up details... no sweeping things under the rug. Aaaanyway... I guess we can get back to this Twin Peaks eatery that for whatever reason, thrilled me when I saw all the nods to David Lynch's cult television hit, Twin Peaks. There was the nicely framed photo of Laura Palmer on the bookshelves, the Twin Peaks town signage, it was warmly nostalgic of my days spent curled up on the couch with my laptop, Twin Peaks on Netflix, and a confused look on my face trying to figure out wtf was going on with that lady with the log. Anybody know? Anybody? I thought not. So this place has a menu that is the absolute most refreshing thing after 2+ weeks traveling through the Czech Republic and Germany where your choices are typically brown gravy and meat or beige gravy and meat, or white gravy and meat. We went right when they opened (at like 11am or something spectacular for non-early risers like myself) and partook in their brunch-y menu of hearty, colorful, stacked bagel sandwiches and burgers. They even have a few vegetarian and vegan option... which are few and far between in other countries. My dining partner and I both ordered coffee, which was fresh and perhaps the tastiest we'd had all trip. Our coffees were served in mis-matched mugs, his had a cartoon image of a log cabin and mine was an ultra 80s touristy mug from Florida... it was at that point that I understood that this was an 'American-style' restaurant and to that I could only be thankful... if for nothing more than for the first time in our 2+ weeks of traveling, the menu was in English and I could read everything on it and know exactly what I was getting. Our server was so sweet and cute and spoke the most delicate English ever. I think that may be my favorite accent... when people who normally speak French, speak English. So soft and soothing. My partner and I split the Hannibal the Cannibal bagel sandwich, that ironically is vegetarian - also FANTASTIC. And the Super Mario Burger (also a veggie burger) that was OUTSTANDING. One of the tastiest meals of entire trip. So good, in fact, that we almost came back for dinner with another couple, but since the hours here are kind of (totally) weird, we did not. Rachel is not at all handicap accessible... or it is until you have to go to the bathroom when you have to walk down the slender-est, steep-est stairs I've ever seen inside a building. There's one bathroom with a toilet and a door and it opens into an open area with a sink surrounded by three urinals - no door, so there's a good chance of seeing some wiener while you wash your hands. The prices were nominal for the size, quality, and freshness of our food and overall this was the most affordable place we dined in all of Belgium. Rachel (greater than sign) David Lynch. read more

Rachel Burger is located right near the Manikken Pis, and not a far walk from many of the bars (such as delirium) and the main town square. My group of friends were denied seating because they came with a group of nine people (the place is very small). But, I found that it was perfect for a group of 3. We came hungry, and the service was terrible and slow. It was miserable to try to get a waiter or waitresses attention. There was only one waiter and one waitress there on a Friday night around 10 p.m. The place closes at 11 p.m, but throughout our meal I saw the waitress turn many people away. THE FOOD: After a very long wait, the food was well worth it. I had the Samantha Fox burger rare, and it was one of the best burgers I have had in Europe and the United States. It had a sunnyside up egg (not runny though), cheese, tomato, lettuce and pickles all on top of the delicious, juicy burger. My friend ordered the Frankenstein burger, served on a bagel, which he devoured as well. read more

Rachel - The Samantha fox burger - Bagels Near Me - Brussels, BRU

We showed up with a baby and it was hailing outside. They had space for us but told us it was reserved. We asked if we could wait and they said no. It was hailing hard so we stood in the entry way while we tried to find another restaurant. The waitress came and told us we couldn't wait there. We asked if they could wait a few minutes while we found a new place. She rolled her eyes and told us we could wait outside (in the hail). We then left. It's so disappointing to see a restaurant that treats people this way when the weather is bad. I will never go back. read more

Great burgers! Very cozy little restaurant off the beaten track with nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A little bit expensive but big, yummy burgers do give value for your money. My colleagues picked up a cheesecake that looked pretty good as well. For bigger groups a reservation might be necessary. I chose the Speedy Gonzales and it was guacamole-fueled burger bliss. Worth it! read more

Although pricey, this place gave me my first bagel in four months and it was a worthy one. I had the salmon bagel, which came with chives, lemon, cream cheese, and green onion. On the side was some slaw and greens, nothing special but better that they existed than not! I found the service to be friendly and the staff spoke great english and helped us through the menu, which I really appreciated. Even though you might expect a bagel to just be a snack, this one was a filling meal. I would definitely return if I ever come back to Brussels! read more

We tried the Say Cheeeeessee! Burger and the Englishman in New York bagel sandwich. The burger was massive, but delicious. Well cooked beef burger with sautéed vegetables, bacon, cheese and Dijon. The bagel sandwich was just ok. The egg was overcooked and there was an excessive amount of ketchup on the bagel where that's all you could taste. The food took a while to be served, but the staff was very friendly. read more

Rachel - Say Cheeesse! Burger and Englishman in New York bagel sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Brussels, BRU

This restaurant had such good reviews that I think we may have gone into it expecting too much. The restaurant's claim to be "American" isn't entirely off base, but it would certainly be out of place in America. 3 of us visited on a Sunday for brunch. We arrived around 11am and were surprised to be the only patrons for the entirety of our visit. I had the bagel with eggs, one had the veggie burger, and one had the bbq chicken sandwich. The bagel itself was quite good, it was heavy on the cream cheese but that was easily fixed, and I just wish I had been asked how I wanted my egg prepared. Our resident vegetarian was pretty unhappy with his "wadded up bean paste" of a burger. The chicken sandwich was "ok" and oddly, the chicken was all chopped up. Overall, it wasn't bad, but we had better while we were in Brussels. If you're hungry and walking past, give it a try - but don't make a point to go visit. read more

Very tasty bagels and burguers. We tried the Englishman in New York bagel and the Chuck burguer. We accompanied the meal with a couple of Belgian beers and awesome home-made fried potatoes, and then closed with a delicious cheessecake. All in all Rachel is a solid choice, although a bit on the pricey side. Highly recommended. read more

My most favorite place in Bruxelles so far! We had the Yoko burger, well done, with a glass of beer and it was perfect. Burger was cooked to perfection, and even though it was thick, it was still moist and not dry at all! Potatoes were amazing-- perfectly seasoned and hot on the plate! The burger also came with something similar to coleslaw, and it was absolutely delicious. And the service was great. She gave us a good amount of attention even though the restaurant was completely full, and smiled at my feeble attempts to speak French. Definitely coming back and highly recommend! read more

Beautiful! Delicious burgers. I normally don't like egg burgers, but I love the egg burgers here. I think it's the barbecue sauce and perfectly cooked eggs made the difference. I'd choose the Egg burger over the Rachel's Burger. read more

Great place!!!! After 8 days in England and just getting to Brussels for a 20 layover I found this place around the corner off the beaten path. It's not fast food, it's quality and timely considering how good it is. They helped me understand the menus and were very patient with my 17 year old son who's only good group is a bacon cheeseburger, they made him exactly what he wanted and I sampled their gourmet burger arrangements. It was simply freaking fantastic. Best high end burgers at a Five Guy's price!! It's worth finding! read more

Burgers are large! Very tasty, though a bit messy. Great service. Potatoes are more like home style - not really crispy. I prefer something fried on the side but that's my only complaint. Coleslaw served on the side is good. read more

Nice little cozy place. The burgers are pricy but very big and stodgy. The staff is really friendly, what more to say ? read more

Location is central Brussels, nearby other restaurants and across from a nice bar. Atmosphere in the restaurant is casual and pleasant, what I would expect to find in the US. Staff also speaks English, which is always nice! Food is ok, I had a veggie burger and it wasn't outstanding but portion sizes were just right with healthier side options of potatoes (instead of fries) and salad. I would go back for a bagel, however, when in the mood! Also possible to order food to go (2 prices on the menu, cheaper price is for to-go and more expensive for eating in the restaurant) read more

Delicious bagels, we had the 'Britney Spears' and the 'Hannibal Cannibal' and loved it! read more

A very good burger joint in Brussels. Service was prompt and English friendly. Portions we're huge and prices were reasonable.

At this moment probably the best bagels in town. With tableware that make you feel like home. Nice (cook)books & magazines available if you didn't bring yours. Very nice staff. And a jukebox, a real one yeah! read more

Wow! Super upset! Went on Thursday night 2 hours before they close and was told kitchen closes in 5 minutes so I couldn't order anything! Ok gonna try again before I leave Brussels. Went today at 8:30 pm; seated and ordered; great sign right? WRONG!!After waiting 1/2 an hour after we ordered waitress comes out and says that our order ticket was misplaced and when she found it they now have no food left in the back!! (Mind you we ordered beef, lamb and even a veggie burger) Told me I didn't need to pay for water! Wow Thanks! read more

Small but excellent service and yummy burgers so tall you eat them with a knife and fork rather than picking them up with your hands. We tried the Rachel burger and the Nana burger. Both were unique but delicious. The menu is in French but the words are common enough that it is fairly easy to get a good idea of what is being offered. read more

One of the best burger places in Brussels! I tried already a few of their burgers and bagels and was never dissappointed. All the burgers are served with delicious homemade potatoes and a smile! read more

Amazing burgers. Try the "Samantha Fox goes picnic" and the prices are affordable! :)

The Rachel Burger is amazing. I like their take on Fries. For you Americans don't expect hard fried potatoes, think more home fries fresh potato than fast food fries. Super cute. Very close to the flea Market, a bowling alley and lots of little shoppes in the area. The bar a cross the stree La Fontana is pretty cool as well. Short walk from Trams and the 48 bus rubs on the main road just in front of the street for Rachel. Voila! read more

Had an amazing experience at this place. Burgers really fresh and generous in size. My burger arrived late after every one else, so the beautiful waitress, out of common courtesy, took it off completely from the check. Told her it was totally fine though! read more

We've heard and read a lot about this place so when we happened to have dinner in the next door's Asian bistro, we decided to go there afterwards for a sugar fix. When entering, the relaxed smoking cook sitting outside warned us that there are no bagel s left. No problem for us, so we got seated. Our party of six went for cheesecake, coffee and hot chocolate (not even made from the choco chunks but from cocoa powder). Few minutes after ordering the waitress came back to ask us to order sth else cause they ran out of milk (!!!) and that they have enough just to make one portion(out of 4 we ordered). Not impressed by waitress' social and customer skills we skipped the drinks and ate the cheesecake, which was OK but it definitely didn't make up for the whole weird experience. Before all this, we had considered to go there for a brunch. Now? No, thank you. read more

Great place to eat burguers....very taste....nice service...and price in good considering it includes a cob salad and baked potatoes

Such a revelation! The burger I ate (speedy gonzalez) was certainly one of the best burgers I had in my life (hint: I had quite a few) and the waiter was so nice and helpful. I will definitely find my way back to this place!! read more

I still think these are the best burgers, but again the burger was still red inside, even though I asked a well-done burger. My friend though was not happy about this and didn't like his burger. Also, we think they updated the menu and at least one good burger disappeared from the menu. Do not forget to book a table in advance, especially in the weekends. read more

Brunch from heaven! Rather small place,but the food and service are great, English is no problem and their menu is full of delicious goodies - warmly recommended! read more

I'm in the restaurant right now trying to look cool and normal when on the inside I'm kirking the hell out over this burger! Oh My Jesus this thing is so good!! Seriously! I didn't even have a Yelp account but I created one just so I could write this review! I got the Say Cheeeeeese and it's better than any burger I've had in any country. I seriously wanna marry this burger and have its babies!! read more

The surprising burger suggestion of the day "Chignon Chinois" tasted as if an Asian princess fed it to me with a silver fork.

One of the best burgers I've had. Hands down. Staff was gracious, patient and laid back. Was great for my 7 year old, wife and I looking to have a burger, beer, wine etc. Plus its located in a great area. If youre in the mood for a burger of epic proportions (they're big!), this is your place. read more

Visited this quaint little restaurant our first night in Brussels. We arrived 30 mins before open and walked around to grab waffles right up the street till they were open. When we got back we had our pick of seats and waited for the menu. The service was a bit slow with one point all of the servers stepping out to smoke a cigarette while we waited for them to take our order. But once they did the food was really good. The beef on the burgers were tender and juicy. I had the "say cheese" and it was good not great but very filling. My boyfriend had the speedy Gonzalez and he couldn't put it down. Between the mix of guacamole and hot pepers it was a messy but delicious burger. The potatoes they served on the side were the true headliner of this meal. 5 pieces were not enough as I could have eaten a whole plate of them by myself. Overall it was a very filling meal. Wish the service was a bit quicker. read more
