How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst: — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account: — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text: — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I was there with three colleagues on opening day and I can't understand the negative reviews at all... the owners were very friendly despite the large crowd, the atmosphere is inviting, and all our burgers were excellent. The veggie burger...

A very nice café with very friendly guys running it. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere and the burger was delicious!

I'm absolutely thrilled with this café! The terrace is simply divine – perfect for relaxing outside and soaking up the atmosphere when the weather is nice. The food was also fantastic: the burger was juicy, freshly prepared, and tasted abs...

Nice cafe, friendly staff, but the burger was unfortunately terrible; the meat was soggy, there was no crispiness whatsoever, and the sauce made everything swell up.

1★ · 2026-04-15
Today, on opening day, we had a burger and a cinnamon roll for €2.50. The cinnamon roll normally costs €4, and the burgers are between €10 and €14. We ordered the "crispy" chicken burger three times. The lettuce was soggy, the cheese was mi...

The burger is frozen/convenience food. The patty disappears on the supermarket bun. The lettuce is limp. The fries are homemade but so soft you can barely get them off the plate.

Long wait times and order mix-ups

A few reviewers report experiencing slow service, long wait times for food during lunch breaks, and incorrect orders.

We were at this restaurant for the first time and got a table immediately. We ordered breakfast for three people but unfortunately had to wait half an hour. Breakfast was very plentiful and delicious. It's ideal for families with children.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place for lunch. The wait was over half an hour, which is simply unacceptable for fast food in an industrial area where employees spend their (short) breaks. The men at the next table were also very ann...

Certain reviewers felt that specific burgers did not match their expectations for quality given the price point.

Friendly staff! But the Bruderherzburger for €13 is a complete disappointment!

1★ · 2026-05-02
I paid €13.70 for a burger with potato sticks and was quite disappointed. For that price, I expected significantly better quality – the patty looked like it came from a freezer, and the overall taste was underwhelming. What I found particu...

Well-maintained, friendly, welcoming, good service, varied menu – we'll definitely be back! A nice change from the usual avocado and poached eggs for breakfast; here you get fluffy shakshuka and delicious salmon with a soft-boiled egg!

Unfortunately, I can only agree with the previous reviews. I tried the "Crispy Chicken" burger on opening day (a €2.50 special offer). The taste was disappointing – instead of crispy, it was rather soft and had way too much sauce, which quickly made it soggy. I could only manage a few bites before...

So, we were there on opening day and it was total chaos. Lots of people were able to place their orders and had to wait, and those who ordered last were served first. We had to wait an hour for our food. And what we also found disappointing was that there weren't any prices displayed. We would ha...

I really can't understand some of the negative comments here. We were at the opening yesterday and were absolutely thrilled with the burgers. Both the chicken burger and the vegetarian burger (one of the best I've ever eaten) were fantastic. I think it's perfectly normal for things not to run comple...
