Hamburgueria da Baixa - Leiria — Restaurant in Leiria

Quick rundown: Decent food, long wait, CRAZY PIGEONS.

Came here with some friends to get burgers, and we were on a pretty tight schedule so wanted to be done a bit faster. From the moment we ordered to when we received our food, it was maybe a 20 min wait. The waitress we had, who was pretty much the only service worker and bartender, did not speak english so she had to ask the cook to translate. Drinks came about 10 mins after ordering.

While sitting down, pigeons instantly swarmed us. They had literally no fear at all. I was pushing one away with my foot and the thing was pushing back. And as soon as some family left, they swarmed their plates for scraps. They were everywhere!

The food looked really good when we got it (see image). The fries here paired with the sauce on the side are really really good and come with any burger you order. The burger however is a bit more to talk about. The bun started falling apart right after my first bite (also visible in the pic) and the patty was somewhat pinkish in the middle, in addition to being to small in comparison to the buns.

After we were done the boys ordered another round of drinks which came maybe 5 mins later. After that, a round of shots which for some reason took almost took 15 mins. Since we were in a rush, we saw if they could possibly hurry up a bit and give us the check at the same time. She told us that they are busy since there are only 3 people working.

So the food was alright.. but the wait times are long, don’t come here if you are on some...

These are hands-down one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. My favorite is the one with brie and jammy onions—perfection on a plate (though I’d love it even more on a brioche bun). The fries are fantastic, and the garlic mayo sauce is so good I’d eat it on a shoe. And the Caipirinha? Absolute best in the city. I’ve tried plenty in the past two weeks, but here you actually get a drink, not a glass full of ice. Minimal ice, maximum cocktail, exactly how it should be.

Can’t wait for...

A carne é na realidade muito boa as batatas não são fritas na hora. Chegamos fomos atendidos de imediato não havendo outros clientes no restaurante, fizemos o nosso pedido e eu referi que queria uma bebida qualquer que não fosse de pressão. Quando nos vêm servir trazem uma Fanta de pressão com gelo e laranja, uma caneca para o meu marido e eu refiro que tinha pedido qualquer bebida mas sem ser de pressão, qualquer uma de lata ou garrafa, a empregada responde mal e porcamente referindo que era o primeiro dia do colega e eu voltei a referir que tinha sido bem atendida por ele apenas que queria que troca se o copo e me servissem uma bebida de lata e a funcionário começou indiretamente a exigir que eu bebe-se o que me tinham servido para não ir para o lixo..... Agora pergunto eu vou a um restaurante refiro que quero qualquer bebida sem ser especifica na marca ou tipo de sumo desde que a mesma não fosse de pressão e sou servida com uma bebida de pressão e ainda me dão a entender q tenho que a beber porque se não vai para o lixo...... Volto a referir que quero uma bebida de lata e aí já referi que queria uma Fanta de ananás, e não é que me pergunta 4 vezes que bebida queria.... Acabei por não responder mais nada e ficou o meu marido já passado com aquilo tudo a dizer mais 2 ou 3 vezes que era uma Fanta de ananás.... . Com isto digo o humburguer é na realidade muito bom merece um pão menos industrial para a boa qualidade da carne e merece mais supervisão por parte dos donos ou...
