Awesome place with great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. We got there just about 10 minutes after they opened and were the first ones in there. Within 30 minutes, the place was filled with hungry people! We ordered the nachos and spicy chicken wings to start off with and then split the Texas burger. All 3 were absolutely delicious and we were both in a food coma after devouring our smorgasbord. I also had a pint of their "Blind Cowboy Pale Ale" which was great. They even have my boyfriend's favorite beer: Anchor Steam which is brewed in San Francisco. I love that this restaurant took the time to design a beer menu that is unique and top quality. I didn't get our waiter's name but he was very friendly and spoke enough English to get our order in which is always greatly appreciated when there is a language barrier. Go here if you need a break from the wonderful cuisine Madrid has to offer because this place is an absolute gem and would most definitely kick ass in the states!

Double cheeseburger with onion rings and fries on the side.

My opinion might be a bit biased as I was not having a very good day when I got to the place, but the ambiance and the service changed my day. The menu is good and there is just the perfect amount, not too few, not too many. The waiters there asked for my order with a smile and after some time, I got my meal. Astonishing taste, and big amount of food. Fries are "home-made" and the beef was juicy. After my meal the waitress asked me if it all had been good before she got me the bill. Will definitely recommend it and come back next time I'm in the city!

Hottie burger! It was gone 5 seconds after I took this pic!

Good place when you crave good old buffalo wings or burger. Good American beer as well.

My husband & I arrived in Madrid from Seville via the rail station. When we arrived at our hotel…read morethey said it was too early for us to get checked into a room, as it wasn't ready yet. We looked on Yelp for some food suggestions, & my husband made note of Steak Burger place as we were being driven to our hotel. It had some nice reviews, so we thought we'd give it a try. As soon as we walked in, I said "yum" it smelled amazing inside the restaurant!! We were immediately seated at a comfy table for 2, & given a UPC code to look up their full menu. We decided on a steak burger with bacon & cheese. We chose the smallest of the three options, it was more than enough to fill both of us up. It was delicious!! I looked at my husband & said "this is the best beef we've had since we left home (8 weeks ago!)". We've been through 7 other countries since we departed on 5/1/25. The bacon cheeseburger came with fries & they were crispy, yet tender on the inside. After we finished, our waiter (who made sure we had what we needed, but didn't fuss over us) asked if we wanted dessert. My hubby said "what do you have". When our waiter mentioned cheesecake, my husbands eyes lit up & so we ordered their cheesecake. It was one of the largest slices we have ever been served out at a restaurant. It had raspberry crumbles on top of it (I would have preferred chocolate, because what doesn't go with chocolate???). My husband probably would have chosen fresh strawberries on top, but he thoroughly enjoyed the raspberry crumbles. All in all it was a very delicious meal for about 28 euros (not too bad). It was a lively atmosphere, so if you want peace & quiet, it's not the place for you. We split everything we ordered, & we both left quite full. My only negative comment (which may not bother some people) is: Of all of the places we've had meals at over the last 8 weeks in Europe, this one was the most like US restaurants in that they want to turn tables as quickly as possible. They were swamped (we were seated immediately which was a plus for us) but I saw a woman approach our waiter about getting a table in this very busy restaurant, & not long after that, the same waiter approached a couple next to us & within minutes the couple were moved to a table near the rear of the restaurant. The lady who had approached our waiter & her 2 friends were seated at that now vacant table. Shortly after that, a young guy sitting at a high top bar looking table, by himself, was moved to somewhere else in the restaurant & 3 young ladies ended up with his original table. As we were leaving I noticed the three young ladies moving. Another couple was standing near our table, were apparently waiting to be seated, & I assume they were seated at our table before we reached the door to exit. In my opinion, It was a lot of shuffling, but I guess it turns more tables & makes the owner/manager group happy. As we finished with items it they were quickly removed from our table, which also expedites the clearing of tables & makes it quicker to seat new people, thus turning more money. I really liked the idea of your table is yours until you decide you don't want it anymore, everywhere else in Europe.

Great service and a humorous wait staff was the highlight of this restaurant…read more The la champion burger I ordered medium came well done and the charcoal taste was too heavy. It stayed with me for a few hours. The cheddar (switched from provolone), bacon and onions on the burger worked well together. I ended up wishing the cheddar was stronger and the arugula was non-existent. The highlight of it was the truffle sauce which blended with everything including the boiled potatoes and my wife's fries. Her sweet and a bit spicy Iberian pork was juicy, but the fries were a disappointment. They had too much crust and were a bit over done. Just to note the area this restaurant was located was almost as crowded as Time Square on New Year's Eve due to the Holidays, so they may have been busier than normal.

Our last day in Madrid & we ran into this place in a cool little alley. So glad we did! Stopped for…read morea quick drink & ended up staying for a couple of hours. Drinks were not overpriced, nachos were good, & the people were nice!

Cokuy is a trendy spot for spanish/American food. The location is great - in the heart of the city…read morecenter right near Puerta del Sol. They offer outside seating which I always opt for if available. The interior is modern and cool (a bit small) The menu of the day is usually the reason for my visit to Cokuy. They seem to always have paella on their menu of the day, served in a personal sized pan with mussels, calamari, chicken and shrimp. The seafood isn't necessarily fresh but the paella is still tasty. Pictured below is the second course, chimichurri skirt steak with fries. The fries are the best I've had in Madrid. The skirt steak was so tough though that I could barely eat it apart from the edges. My friend had the roasted chicken which was delicious. My advice is just skip the skirt steak, everything else is tasty!

I am sorry to say that the hype connected to this restaurant is way over the top. My friend…read morebrought me here because he said he had an excellent visit last Friday. Well...I think that he was in the Twilight Zone because this meal was totally different. The wings were nothing to write home about. Small pieces and the BBQ sauce wasn't even tossed with the wings; they were more like drizzled on. The chicken tenders were probably the worst I have ever had...I don't see them selling a lot and they had a vinegary taste to them. After 1/2 bite, I had enough...And the oil they fried everything in was old and the food absorbed it. The burgers finally came and they looked like something we make at a home barbecue. Nothing special. The bun fell apart. The meat was practically raw, as you can see from the pictures. The bacon was fried to a crisp and was like eating a bacon potato chip. And the fries were good, salty, crispy and oil soaked...Complimented the sub-par hamburger. I guess quality and value isn't on the menu cause I didn't see it in our meal. Ambiance: 5/10 Service: 6/10 Bathrooms: 5/10 Food: 1/10 Value: 1/10 Cleanliness: 6/10 Would I Return? Sorry...Even with the bar, it doesn't make up for the food.

Es mi sitio favorito cuando tengo ganas de una hamburguesa en Madrid. La relación calidad precio es…read moreexcelente, la hamburguesa muy buena y la de chimole para chuparse los dedos. El ambiente es acogedor, también tienen unas cuantas cervezas y la tarta Guinness, que recomiendo.
