Burger House — Restaurant in Trier

Burger House was my second choice for my dinner. The first choice had no cook to make the food.

When I arrived, the place was pretty much empty. It has a high rating on google. So, I thought to try it out.

I ordered a large beer and a burger. The beer was refreshing, and the burger I got was juicy and delicious. The fries were hand cut, so they stated on their menu. I could not find an option to leave the fries. I can't eat a burger and fries together. It is just too much. I have one suggestion for the food. When cooking beef burgers medium, let them rest for a while. When I got the burger, it was dripping meat juices into my fries. Now, I didn't eat the fries, but if I would, the soggy ones would take away from the nice work the chef did to cut and fry those fries. It also ruins the taste and crunchiness.

What I disliked was the service. One server in particular seemed to have a taste for his guests. Where the other one was friendly and helpful, the other one ignored me completely. I sat at the table for about 20 minutes with an empty glass. I would have liked another refreshing beer. But nobody came to ask. My glass was empty, the burger plate was gone, and that was it. No more service. I had to go inside to pay. This is not a problem, but combined with the rest, I think this is bad service. It was not busy either. Couple tables in and outside. I wonder if it is because I am one person. Maybe they thought that my clientele is not worth it. I don't know, but ignoring is just a bad way to serve your guests.

At least the burger...

Absolutely fantastic burgers!! This is what it used to be like in the U.S., but you'll be hard-pressed to find it anymore over there. Had the Cheezus on day 1 of my visit, and the Kevin Bacon on day 2. Definitely arrive very hungry for the former, as it is 240g of meat. The Cheazy-E looked great as well, as it appears to be a scaled-down version of the Cheezus, in case you aren't as hungry for the Cheezus. Staff was friendly, and though busy, were attentive. Food arrived fast, too, which was a pleasant surprise. Tip: you will not need to order a side of fries if you get a burger, which is included, and is generous and perfectly-prepared. Atmosphere is great, and one thing we all commented on, was that we felt we had adequate space from other tables, which was also a plus. Plenty of seating outside as well. If I were to make any recommendation to the establishment, it would be a slightly better beer list, though this is certainly not a deal-breaker. The radler offered was refreshing, and the Aperol got high marks as well...but I did wonder what it would be like to have these amazing burgers paired with a fine German rauchbier or a schwarzbier. I am returning to town for Christmas, and I intend to try the other offerings...

I went there a while ago as on google it showed this restaurant as “Halal”. I asked the restaurant staff at the reception and he confirmed the fact. I asked him twice just to be sure because I only eat halal meat. Upon his confirmation , I had a beef burger there. As I really liked the food, I recommended this restaurant to several friends who also only have Halal meat. I went again to this place recently with a friend who asked the staff at the reception whether the meat is halal, and the staff categorically denied the restaurant to be Halal. He was really surprised when we mentioned that we had the food there just a couple of weeks ago and the other staff member had assured us that the food was halal. He just offered us an apology saying that the previous staff member was new and he must not be aware of the fact, which sounds completely ridiculous ! This is highly unprofessional and unethical ! Whoever wants to have halal food, shouldn’t fall prey to this restaurant considering it...
