Wouter WillemsOctober 12, 2014I liked the gorgonzola burger, the patty itself was ground quite coarsely (awesome) and was juicy. The homemade ketchup was a nice touch too.
Pinar S.July 23, 2019Fast service, huge portions and delicious burgers with reasonable prices! I got an horse eye burger which is 15 euro. they served it with seasoned potatoes. A must try place in Gent
Erinc DenizNovember 22, 2017Burger and home made onion rings were so delicios. It’s a -must eat- in the city. I’ve tried the Cosmo Twist coctail, it was also so good.
Uğur MutluApril 29, 2017Forget mussels and oysters. If you are in Gent for a few days, try burgers here!
Shannequoi CanettiFebruary 22, 2019food was tasty and arrived quickly. But we were not given cutlery and when we asked for it, they said there was a house rule against it. No diet coke but very enjoyable and I would eat there again.
SigridFebruary 19, 2014Omg. It's so good here. Been waiting for a place like this forever. Delicious spicy black bean burger. And they take cocktails seriously. Awesome place.
I am usually too distracted by the bacon and avocado to order it, but uncle babe's burger was absolutely delicious. Not a big fan of the cheesecake. It tastes a bit like pumpkin spice somehow.- Jean-Paul HendrixMarch 25, 2017Today's special burger, was my best burger & believe me I know what a good burger is! It was a beefburger with Swiss cheese, avocado, bacon, red union, pickel, lettuce, tomato, and a delicious sauce!
Katie RileyFebruary 6, 2017The owner is from Boston, they serve many American beers and they play NPR podcasts in the bathroom. aka, if you're a homesick US expat you'll feel right at home
Best, yet most expensive burger place in Ghent. Burgers are a little bit to expensive, but the amazing selection of American craft beers unfortunately way too expensive.
Valerie SmetsMay 14, 2014Best burgers in town, no doubt about it! And always such a nice vibe with smiles & good music, love it :-)- Hands down, best restroom in Gent. Also the burgers are pretty fantastic!
- Check out the facebook page, they'll let you know when the Shrimp burger arrives. It defenitely pays off the wait!!
David De KeersmaekerJanuary 28, 2016Burgers are great and Cocktails are really awesome. They also have an extended list of American craft beers. Very nice place!- Aslı Yükselci KilciFebruary 6, 2016Uncle Babe's and horse eye Burgers are delicious 👍 try with onion rings 😉
Eka TirtadjiJune 22, 2017Proper American style burger bar! Grab an outdoor seat and enjoy the buzzling scene of Ghent.
Bob JanssensJune 20, 2015Nice and cosy place with a beautiful interior and an american feel to drinks and food. Check out the American Craft Beers!
Lowie DeseyneJanuary 30, 2018It’s a cosy place and the burgers are oke. They don’t have cutlery so you have to eat with your hands which is difficult sometimes. And you don’t get a wet tissue or something to clean your hands.
You can taste the sheer craftsmanship in each burger... my favorite is the Gorgonzola Burger!
LeMesjeuApril 15, 2015Search no longer my friends! You have found the best Burger joint in Ghent. Eat here or gtfo. Don't forget dat wall of liquor!
One day, their special was a succulent pulled pork. That was a good day.
Christophe BouillonMarch 4, 2016Stay for a drink at the bar after you eat their delicious burgers. The waiters and bartender are very nice people :)
Jan De WildeApril 12, 2014Check out the cool toilets with an American touch and the sweet waitress with enlightening smile.
Burgers are the best in Gent. The cheesecake was way much better before when they start. Service its kind of slow.
Laurenz Van de MoortelMay 21, 2015Fabulous meal. Really like The Horse Eye burger. Potato wedges are delicious, even they are pricey.
Nathalie DumonOctober 22, 2014The veggie burger is really good. Could've come with more potato parts though. No cookies or chocolate with the coffee. That's a bummer.
Nesli HanFebruary 2, 2016Good burgers in British standards. Pleasant bar, kind servers, good decor. Successful overall.
- The spicy black bean burger is to die for 😛 Home made ketchup and mayo!
Louise-Marie KerkhoveJuly 30, 2015Nice burgers, delicious cocktails and the most awesome restroom..!
Tom TiepermannDecember 22, 2017The food was excellent! However the waitress with the nose piercing sucks. Wanted to pay by bank card which didn’t work, she told us “we shouldn’t be going out to eat if we can’t afford it”. Wow.
Ine VandendriesscheApril 18, 2014Delicious. Hip. Oog voor detail. Vriendelijk. Julia Child world love it!
Davide SerioApril 10, 2016Good burger (but the choice is way too small), wonderful restroom, kind waiter. The american craft beers are way too expensive.
