The burgers and fries were good and there are tons of burger options. The family style seating is great sine you can meet other diners.

Great burgers, fresh and prepared on the spot. It feels great to know we can eat such a delight in CH as well. Small location in the center with a lot of charm. You need to be patience because they prepare everything on the spot and this is real quality/luxury. The burgers are great because they meet the American traditional... More

It´s a fast food with great hamburgers and amazing french fries. Young atmosphere. Good price and good quality. There is no much space to sit but if you wait a few minutes you can find some seats easily. They speak english, french and also other languages. It's definitely a good choise.

Good price good quality. But not the best burger in town! Plus there is no much space to sit. Try the Lutry burger place or Eat Me mini burgers!

Tasty hamburger with delicious French fries. Young atmosphere. The menu costs about 20 CHF a bit high but aligned with prices in Switzerland, Vaud.

The burgers are made to order from a diverse menu. Order at counter, have a seat and they deliver. Only drawback is the drink selection is limited and seating is very tight and not always easy to get.

A great recommendation made to us just off the old town in Lausanne. A pure burger bar - chicken or beef, with just about anything you can imagine on top - with bench seating for those who stay and a takeaway option. The food comes remarkable quickly and the only problem can be finding somewhere to sit at busy times.... More

This place is great, as they say..it's fast food revolution. It has the best fries in Lausanne hands down! You must go! It's always packed so try to go after 1:30pm for lunch on a weekend or else you will stand for a while waiting for a seat. Only thing I think they can approve upon is that I wish... More

It's a good concept and the burgers and fries are really good! I like the free syrup refill (water and fruit concentrated) , only beverage you can drink as much as you want and no coke, so Swissitude. Service is cordial and fast but it's true not exceptionally friendly, place loud and not well ventilated, price is ok (in Zürich... More
