Indie Burger — Restaurant in Graz

Most burger joints hide the magic. You know - some secret lair in the back where mysterious grillmasters in grease-resistant uniforms flip patties, or, like at Five Guys or In-N-Out, the poor new hire sweats through their initiation routine.

Not this place. Here, the grill is front and center, sealed in a glass box like a live theater production titled "Meat: The Musical." You don’t just smell the burger - you see it being born. Right from the street, through a giant front window, folks in sunny California-yellow t-shirts flip beef and chicken like they’re on a mission from Santa Monica. There’s even a surfboard-table casually wedged inside, just to remind you: this is laid-back burger Zen. Hang ten. Bite one.

Orders are placed through sleek, self-service kiosks, and the menu is stripped to the essentials. No combos, no confusion, no "Would you like to supersize?" trauma. Just beef, chicken, or shrimp - then your fries, then your drink. Boom. Done. The price is surprisingly gentle - especially when you realize refills are free. No Coke, just soda. No sugar-coating. Literally.

The fries? Fresh, not frozen. Not from a plastic bag. Crispy for the first few minutes, then blissfully soft — and most importantly, not apocalyptic. You get the feeling they were made to be eaten, not embalmed.

The burgers? No mystery sauces trying to cover identity crises. Just proper juicy meat (or shrimp), grilled right, soaked into the bun like nature intended. You bite, and suddenly remember: "Ohhh right… THIS is what a burger is supposed to taste like."

The vibe? Chill. Efficient. Affordable. Perfect for hungry teenagers, large squads on a club-hopping mission, or anyone too cool (or too broke) for fine dining - but who still has standards. With flavor, without fuss.

Graz needed this. Your taste buds agree. Your wallet...

One of the more tasty and affordable burger places in Graz. At least that's what it used to be! Their major price increases (from 3-4€ to 5-10€) and menu/size downgrades (smaller fries bags, smaller drinking cup) made this place lose its magic. They used to have a chicken burger with two juicy chicken tenders inside for 4€ or less. It was affortable, high quality, and delicious. The new menu, albeit it being creative in terms of flavors and combos, uses seemingly cheaper ingredients. The new chicken burger is so overfilled with coleslaw that you can barely taste the thin weirdly-textured chicken patty that's inside. It does not compare one bit to the chicken burger before. And that for a major price increase to 6,20 Euro. And this is one of the cheaper burgers!

I wish they would bring back the peevious burgers and focus on the basics (such as good meat/main ingredients) as much as they did before instead of downgrading ingredients or changing the menu to increase prices for...

One of the standout features here is the size of their burgers – they are small enough that you can order a few different ones to try out. This makes it perfect for those who love variety or just can’t decide on one flavor. Plus, you can customize your burgers with a range of options, allowing you to create your perfect bite every time.

Ordering is straightforward and simple, which is always a plus, especially when you’re hungry. Families will also appreciate the high chair for kids and the diaper-changing facilities in the bathroom, which make this place very accommodating for parents.

The interior is really cool, with a trendy vibe that’s both comfortable and inviting. Make sure to check out the upstairs seating area as well; it's a bit quieter and has a great atmosphere.

Overall, this burger joint strikes a perfect balance between quality, price, and experience. Whether you're with family, friends, or just in the mood for a solo burger adventure, this place...
