Uncle Babe's — Restaurant in Ghent

In short: Top burgers and great cocktails (you can order from the menu but don't have to) cool staff. Longer: Generally very fast service, can get busy, but turnaround is often quick while you wait, or you can sit at the bar. There's a good selection of beers if you're not into cocktails. Burgers are some of the best you'll find in Ghent for this money, served with onion rings or potato wedges and mayo/ketchup to your liking. There's often a special burger of the week, you can find that on their social media channels. If you come as a group it might be beneficial to call ahead (not sure). The bar is ideal if you want to go on your own, I do it often and you don't get strange looks you might get in other places. Staff is not wandering around, but help you asap and are generally very accommodating. 10/10 would...

This place had some of the best burgers I've eaten anywhere. We arrived and it was quite empty but the atmosphere was still great and our waitress was very nice and helpful, we ordered two "frenchie" burgers the came with Camembert caramelized onions and bacon, as sides we took potato wedges and onion rings. The combination of toppings on the burgers were great, and the sides were fried to perfection - crispy on the outside and buttery and soft on the inside. This is one of those places that serves the burgers medium-well to well-done, and we usually order ours medium rare - medium, but in this case it didn't make such a difference as everything else was so good. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a...
