    Burger. Fries. Rotbier.

    Get a hamburger in Hamburg (the origin city of the hamburger). This was a major priority in my plan when visiting this city. After passing by some other Yelp recommendations, I finally decided to take the train out here before checking out the St. Pauli Christmas Market nearby. It's about a 5-7 minute walk from the train stop. Arriving in the evening, the place was packed. As in, every single seat was taken. I tried to seat myself at the bar, only to be informed that I still had to put my name down because there were slots of reservations. No biggie. I was fine waiting. Except it seemed like I waited for half an hour or more as I watched groups of people walk in and get seated without reservations. Turns out the hostess thought I was also waiting for a dining companion to arrive thus the multiple snubs. Well, that tells you something about going out to eat by yourself at restaurants here. Rare stuff. Anyway, I finally got to sit at the bar and already having familiarized myself with the menu--there is an awesome disclaimer on the front page about what to expect with their food and how to eat it--I ordered a burger, fries, and beer. It was a hefty portion and the interestingly English-muffin-like bun was tiny compared to the patty, but a decent American-esque meal. Service was fine. Given the crowds, the popularity of The Bird speaks for itself. It's a good place to eat some good food and for the locals to get a taste of the stateside stuff. Seemed like a very social scene in there. The most important tip I will offer you is this: CASH ONLY.

    We went to The Bird with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. We ordered drinks, burgers and fries. Then, the waitress told us that they were out of fries. It was 8pm and she waited to tell us after our drinks were served, so we couldn't leave. We waited around one hour to get our dishes, and our drinks were almost empty when the burgers arrived. Our meat was a little bit overcooked but the burgers were still tasty. I think that they are the only restaurant making burger with the "rare cooking" authorization, which confirms the quality of the meat.

    That's not a small burger. It's a barbaric amount of chips.

    Immense burgers here in Hamburg. Well worth the hunt to find the place (middle of a housing estate near St Pauli) for the reward of a super tasty patty. The muffin bun is a bit out of the ordinary, but it does work quite well. The chips are very good too, however the portion size is BARBARIC. have a look at the photo I posted. It's enormous. A great place and some really good craft beer options, again which is usually difficult to find in Hamburg.

    My bird-burger - and lots of fries!

    After burgers me and my family took a vote: from 1-5, how many stars. So... 2 votes for 3 stars, 1 for 4, and since I was counting votes I got to be indecisive and go for 3,5 stars. Result is 3 stars. Best things first : meat quality seemed fine. Bun is symbolic, has to be there to give you an illusion of something else than meat overload. I got the classic burger and to me it was a bit heavy on the mustard. But otherwise real greasy like expected. And a s***load of fries. Never seen that many fries on one plate before. Actually kind of scary. A bit too much even. And then the bad: what is up with the acoustics in this place? It fills up pretty quickly after 6pm, and with the people comes the noise. And OMG we had to yell to have a conversation. It was almost impossible to hear what the others at the table said. Its ok with noise, but this was ridiculous. I would go there again if asked, but preferably with more beer and less conversation involved.

    Here you'll find the best burger in Hamburg, bar none. So 5 stars. However, they could really do with redecorating. It feels more like a conference room than the cosy meaty paradise that it should be. Ah well, I'm sure they'll sort that out in time. Back to the food. They have a range of about 10 burgers, all of which are going to set you back about EUR12, so they're not cheap. They are however freshly made, using fresh meat, which allows the server to ask How would you like that cooked? Rare, Medium-rare. I went for medium-rare, which anywhere else in Hamburg would be a recipe for extreme food-poisoning, but here you just get the great extra taste. Extra props for having two blue-cheese burgers on the menu.

    Great Burger. I went to a place called Peter Pane my first day in Hamburg and this place blows it out the water. Fresh Ingedients, Fresh Beef, Great combinations, very good burger. The only thing I didnt care for was the long wait for our food, but the place was crowded and understandably so. I recommend this place if you want a Hamburger in Hamburg!

    The "Drunk Ghetto Burger" with a shot of Vodka in the back and "The Jack" with dripping blue cheese in the front.

    You fancy a steak but also a burger and can't decide which one you want for dinner? Well there you have it: Grinded premium steak meat between two buns -Bombdelicious my friends! And all of that between 9 and 13 bucks. It's the first time i had a burger with dripping blue cheese sauce - tasty! I'm just amazed by the variety of special stuff those burgers come with...one of us had the "Drunk Ghetto" with a shot of Vodka (cheers). For all the "healthy" ones of us...you can either choose a side of fries OR spinach or ceasar salad. They don't say it specifically on the menu, so you have to ask for it. Oh and for the really tough folks out there, try the Chicken Wings Napalm. But be brave, as it is already saying on the menu "crazy hot"... it will clear your head in a second and gave my friends, quote "hallucinations". I was being a chicken and only had a bite....still needed water though which the waitress already had in stock for us since she saw us puffing. The waitresses were in general very alert. So 5 stars are flying to the bird!

The beer selection…read moreon tap is limited, but there's an seemingly endless list of handcrafted botteled beer to make up for it. Whenever I visit places that claim to be specialists I like to be guided in my choice. This part can really make or break an experience. If not guided with professionalism and entusiasm I might as well go somewhere else. In Alles Elbe the entusiasm is contageous and the love of beer is undenieable. Even the tapas-like dishes were presented with a love for quality and taste - made us want to taste everything. And so we did. The smoked ham was more than delish, so was the 'syltz', but after all we came for the beer... The two beers I had were great. I especially enjoyed the Brewcifer 'Rhubarb wire', a saison beer with rhubarb and basil. Eminent taste and such personality. So tell the host or hostess what kind you like and be bold when guided - you might strike gold! Remember that tap beer can be tasted before decision is made. And enjoy this wonderfully loving atmosphere for a evening. I know I did!

They have a lot of beers from Kocour Pivovar Varnsdorf, that the owner himself drives to Varndorf in Czech to pick up. Apparently, it is the only place outside of Czech to get this beer. The owner is laid back and extremely friendly. They have a cozy little back yard if you want to sit outside in the quiet and enjoy some great beers. If you are interested in beer, go here!
