Render Burger — Restaurant in Oslo

Good burger, bad dining experience

First of all, I want to say that the Oslohoma smash was delicious with perfectly cooked patty, soft brioche, and sweet grilled onions. However, the dining experience was made to be quite unpleasant by the cheap atmosphere pf the place. We ordered the burgers through a screen, giving the feel that we were at McDonalds. This would be fine if the burgers were priced around 100-120 range, but the cheapest burgers cost 210 and ketchup cost a shocking 35 kr. Even though I usually always order ketchup with my fries, the high price of ketchup left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s an apalling price for ketchup.

Additionally, the sitting area was quite dirty, as the staff were clearly overwhelmed with orders, they could not empty the full trash and clean dirty tables. It seems that the place is understaffed, but these seems purposeful, apparent from the mcdonalds style ordering screen. Once again, I would like to say that this would be completely ok for me if the food wasn’t priced so high.

Overall, this place is clearly constructed as a take away place. The prices should also match this fact. If I pay 210 for a burger, I should get in person service and a clean sitting area. Im happy to order from a screen for a cheaper experience. The feeling that the management is trying to cut costs as much as possible is so obvious that I couldn’t enjoy the...

I had the "Baconator" burger. As a burger that contains pork you would expect it to be cooked through, but not even close, it was entirely raw in the center. On top of that, apparently it's a burger with a thick, cold slice of cheese on top. That's right, not melted, and that was apparently intentional. The flavor was actually quite good but I'm concerned about the rawness of the patty and the unmelted cheese was just a very odd choice. Definitely not one of the best burgers in town and absolutely not worth the high cost. The location is also small, not very clean and has uncomfortable seats. Starting at 220 nok for just the burger I expected way more. There's a local chain with the same price burgers where you get a real restaurant experience and don't need to feel concerned if the food is safe to eat - which is to say I think render burger is priced like a restaurant but serves a fast food experience. All that said, my main concern is the rawness...

Oppdatert: Etter et år var det på tide å besøke Render burger igjen. Gikk nok en gang for en Oslohoma burger. Denne gangen uten habonero. Sjappa er fortsatt kjempetrist og vi tok derfor take away. Joda burgeren smaker godt og presentasjonen er fin, men 210 spenn for et måltid som ikke gjør deg mett, er alt for dyrt. Man kan lett mekke 4 identiske burgere selv for en hundrelapp mer, så ta heller turen innom Meny og lag burgeren selv.

Eldre anmeldelse: Oslos beste burger ifølge Dagbladet, ja dette måtte jeg jo prøve. Bestemmer meg for å være litt cocky og bestiller Oslohoma smashburger med habonero på forhånd, noe jeg vil angre på senere. Får burgeren servert av en trivelig kar rett etter jeg kommer inn i lokalet. Setter meg ned ved et av to bord og konstaterer at, ja her er det nok maten som er i fokus og ikke lokalet. Tar meg en bit av burgeren og et par fries. Så langt er alt vel. Men så på andre bit merker jeg at jada her var det sterkt gitt. Får tak i litt vann for å lindre tørsten, men her må nok mer enn et glass til. Bestemmer meg for å ta med burgeren hjem etter at jeg er ferdig med friesen. Hjemme blir resten av burgeren fortært, men går ganske så sakte fordi her må én drikke melk for at det ikke skal brenne hull i tunga. I ettertid burde jeg sikkert ha latt det bli med bit nr to, but mama didnt raise no quitter. Uansett er nok ikke dette helt verdig tittelen oslos beste burger. Burgerens smak var ganske plain og friesene var...
