We recently dined at Big Fernand with high hopes, given the number of reviews. Upon entering, I was met with an environment that lacked any freshness. The air felt stagnant and stifling, almost as if the circulation hadn’t been opened in days.
However, what truly caught my attention for all the wrong reasons was our table. It was visibly dirty and had a sticky residue that made me question the cleanliness standards of the entire establishment. While I could have overlooked this as a one-off oversight, what transpired next left a lasting negative impression.
We decided to order fries alongside our burgers. To say they were a disappointment would be an understatement. The fries were not fresh, and it was evident that they had been fried, left to cool, and then simply reheated for our order. The pieces were frustratingly small, making them hard to pick up, and their texture was off-puttingly hard, rendering them almost inedible. You can see it from the pictures I took.
Now, it wasn't all bad. The hamburger with blue cheese did deliver on taste. The meat was flavorful and the bun was soft and fresh. Yet, this lone highlight couldn't overshadow the multiple negatives.
Furthermore, given the subpar service and food quality, it felt like a slap in the face to be charged such high rates. It's one thing to charge premium prices, but the experience and offerings should match, and sadly, this wasn’t the case here.
All in all, while they might have a delicious blue cheese burger, the overall experience was marred by the lack of cleanliness, substandard fries, and disproportionate pricing. We genuinely wanted to enjoy our visit, but I can confidently say that I won't be giving this place a...
Read moreMy review of this place is pretty much consistent with most review. Service was outstanding from the moment you step in. The wait time is very small and by the time you have ordered the food is served at your table. In all the burger places I have been to this has to be the best bun I’ve tasted. I don’t what it is, but whatever they have done, they have absolutely nailed it. When it comes to the burger as a whole it was good but I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back again soon. It just lacked something, maybe more seasoning could have helped, therefore I couldn’t give it a 5*. Chipss were really good, not too much salt and it wasn’t lacking in potato. Although I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back soon, if you’re in Nicè it’s definitely...
Read moreDuring the summer it seems like most places open after 7pm. If you are hungry around 5pm there is little choice. This was one of the few places open. We read reviews of this place and decided to check it out.
The food and service were amazing. If you are looking for artisanal, hand crafted everything...this is the place for you. We opted for the little combo with Le Victor Hamburger. It was simply delicious. Even the ketchup and lemonade are made in house. You haven't tasted ketchup until you've tasted Big Fernand artisanal ketchup.
If you are looking for a great hamburger and amazing drinks Big Fernand is the...
