The Burger Temple Paterson — Restaurant in Paterson

Found this place just driving through Paterson. The place is newly built and clean. As you walk in (careful with the steps) a sign on right wall says "Colombian Fast Food". There's DC and Marvel comic superheroes on the walls. We decided to "eat-in" which is nice during Covid-19. There's an eating area in the back that's a wooden structure with rafters and a ceiling that let's sun in. Like a framed house without its walls. Tall gas heaters, simple decorations and TV screen plays salsa music. According to my girlfriend it's structured like in Colombia. The waitress (just arrived from Medellin) was very nice, polite and spoke English. The burgers were fantastic with the style and taste like it's done in Colombia, all the way down to the sauce. I had the TBT burger. The sauce had some sweetness with caramelized onions, lettuce, slaw, mozzarella cheese, etc. My girlfriend enjoyed her burger, too. They also serve hotdogs their way, and other Colombian dishes. I recommend this place to anyone who would like to try a new twist eating a burger (or hotdog). It's a...

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. From the moment I called to place my order, the person who answered made it clear that politeness and customer service are not a priority here. They spoke to me as if I were asking for a favor rather than being a paying customer.

But the worst part came when I went to pick up my order. A group of employees with annoyed expressions, completely mute, with an attitude of “What do you want? Now leave.” No greeting, no “thank you,” nothing. It looked like being there physically hurt them. I don’t know if they’re trained to ignore customers or if they just hate working, but they nailed it—they made sure I never want to come back.

If you’re looking for a place where customers are treated like a nuisance, this is the one. As for me, I’d rather spend my money somewhere they at least know how to say “Good afternoon.”

I will never return and would never recommend a...

Food was good but does not fit the price at all. Severely overpriced. Went to go eat with 2 other people and we all got one drink + one meal. Total came out to $82. Very crazy they charge a $15 automatic service fee even though my friend asked for the check and boxes to go and we waited around 25 minutes, still no check or boxes. My friend had to go up and get the boxes herself. Then we waited 10 additional minutes still no check. So, We had to go up to the cashier and she didn’t even have the check printed out until she saw us 😐. Geniuely horrible experience, i’m not one to leave bad reviews and this is the first review i’ve ever left. Do not recommend if your looking for a nice affordable meal/lunch with friends. Look at this picture and tell me if you’d pay...
