I had the manchego burger, and it is by far one of the best burgers I've ever had.

We were in Zurich for three nights on vacation and we wound up eating at Fork & Bottle two of those…read morenights - it was that good! We happened upon it just by looking up restaurants close to our hotel and it wound up being our favorite place we ate in our whole 10 days in Switzerland! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. When you walk up, there are tables and chairs throughout the walkway and then an entire open area of tables off of the outside bar for a fun hangout. The building appears to be an old house turned restaurant and is so beautiful on the outside and so warm and inviting on the inside. The menu had accommodations for everyone - which is so nice as I am a lactose intolerant pescatarian! I got the beetroot and black bean burger both nights I was there and it was to die for!! I ate the entire thing both nights and just wanted more (it was a big burger though)!! I also had a watermelon spritz which was so refreshing! You can tell the owners/workers get to know their regulars as I saw them stopping by tables and chatting - which was just so fun to see! If you're in Zurich, I highly recommend popping by! My only regret was that I never saved room for the brownie dessert!

5 stars for the outside seating area alone! What a gorgeous atmosphere to enjoy some food & a drink…read moreafter walking the nearby trails! The buffalo wings were tasty and quite spicy, so if you don't enjoy a higher spice level... this wouldn't be for you. The service was great and our server answered our questions and was so kind to our doggy companion! I would definitely come back to enjoy this spot again.

Pro's: - THEY HAVE RANCH DRESSING!!…read more- The hot wings are not bad, they are more medium buffalo style wings, think Franks RedHot sauce. - They have curly fries - They show NFL on the tv's and two big screens - The service is pretty attentive (for Switzerland) - They have American beers Con's: - The celery sticks are not sticks, they are huge stalks of celery. - The curly fries are under fried. - The game is without sound or subtitles so it is sometimes hard to follow. Overall, not bad for Switzerland if you are looking for an American style sports bar. Not the real thing but close enough to come again!

Authentically American...one wing at a time…read more Went there for a pig-out this past Friday evening with a gang of 14 pepople and had a Yelping good time. The restaurant was crowded but the service was swift. Since it was my first time at a Hooters in Switzerland, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was relieved the chicken wings tasted much like the ones served up by Hooters in the US. We ordered a mix of BBQ, mild, medium, hot, 911, and Daytona...200+ wings all in all. Also got 4 side orders of curly fries, and 4 plates of celery sticks. Washed it all down with 5 pitchers of beer. While they were all pretty good, the Daytona wings stood out from the rest in my opinion. The waitress was attentive to our party and kept the wings coming and the pitchers of beer flowing. The bill for 14 people was 346 fr total. which was quite reasonable I think. Definitely a great spot for a large group night out without breaking the bank.

We enjoyed a burger and fries. Very good. We were exploring Zurich and had walked a great deal…read more The person working cooked our burger and fries from scratch. A refreshing stop along the way.

I am still getting used to paying such high prices during my stay in this fine city, especially…read morewhen a restaurant is rated with only $$. That being said, this place is a cute mix of nostalgia with a modern twist. There are three burger options for beef eaters - I went with the middle one, Swiss Angus beef single patty ($22) which is topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. The pickles are more like cucumbers that are less marinated but still tasty. Cheese and other toppings are extra. I added Swiss cheese because why not? Also went with the garlic mayonnaise. Let me say this was one of the tastiest burgers. The quality of meat and cheese was phenomenal. I could taste the difference between an average fast food burger and this premium dish. The fries were also good (another add-on cost), thick cut and freshly fried. They have an American beer selection from Brooklyn Brewery. I also saw them prepare a crazy fancy shake. It will not be a thick shake like you find in the US, more of a chocolate milk with toppings. I opted to skip it after my large meal. Ambiance is nice, on the street corner, open with a good view of passerby's. Service is quick for Europe and moderately friendly, depending on your server. I did notice a lot of staff just standing around (maybe a slow night). Overall you will enjoy a fine meal here.

As an American in Zurich I would say this place is getting a bad wrap from what appears to be…read morelocals. I had the chicken burger with cornflake breading, it was hot and lettuce was fresh. Fries were hot and also fresh, the shaker of table seasoning was nice (possibly old bay). This is one of the better and least pretentious meals I've had all week including a McD burger that had a nasty red pepper yogurt dressing for 15 CHF. PJ's is much better and fresher than an Applebee's. I didn't try the ribs so I can't compare to a Chilis. I would say the food is closer to a Red Robin for quality and taste. Portions are generous as well. Like everything else about Zurich it's expensive for what you get.

The restaurant was nearly empty and they tried to sit us in a a two-seater so crammed in to the next one, we had to ask to be reseated. The second one was only slightly better. I ordered pulled pork tacos, which came with fries, and my husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries. He deemed the burger mediocre and enjoyed the fries. My three pork tacos looked great. The flour soft shells were fresh, the pulled pork was tasty but COLD. I had a glass of decent Pino Grigio. My husband had tap water. Our waiter never came back to check on us. We walked up to the bar to ask for our bill. The guys said, Thanks, have a good day." I said, "We need to pay." Our bill was $60!" Suffice it to say we were disappointed. Don't bother!
