    I read online this was a professional and awesome burger joint. I was wrong.. I ordered my burger without onions and salad and they didn’t even listen to that. The fries had zero salt on them and just was not good. I decided to order sweet fries with chili cheese on top and they served it literally 2 minutes after me ordering it. Impressive right? Well, wrong! It was saggy and old and the chili cheese on top was super cold. I left it and lost 59 kr on that. I hope this was a one time thing because if this is how they are serving I recommend you to go over the street to McDonalds.

Burgeren var ikke godt nokk stekt, gammelt brød, sure ansatte som trenger smilekurs, ikke verdt pengene. burgeren på Macdconadls smaker myyye bedre

    Updated review: It's really sad that they removed their Asian inspired burger and milkshakes from the menu. Still pretty good burgers though but I probably won't eat here as often as I used to. Their brie cheese burger is highly recommended, it's probably my favorite since they removed the Asian burger. Their home made iced tea and Arnold Palmer's (iced tea + lemonade) are really good, highly recommended over drinking soda. Their fries are meh, they can easily be skipped, I honestly think they have a very long way to go compared to other burger restaurants in Bergen. They still play loud music in the restaurant. ____ Old review: One of the better burgers in Bergen. Almost on par to Inside in terms of taste. The burger Beijing Barbecue is definitely a hit and their onion rings are great too. They only need milkshakes to top it all off. Fast service and you can order food with an app on your phone if you so desire. My main complaints is that the music in the restaurant can be a bit too loud at times and it would be nice if the people working there didn't try to push you to use their phone app.

    When Holy Cow just opened it was my favourite burger place. Boy oh boy the place has changed. We got lukewarm burgers (no, it was not busy and the burgers came suspiciously fast, faster than McDonald's). But it wasn't the worst thing that happened to us that night. We ordered a jar of beer (1.2l) and when we got it I noticed it was way less than that. The jar didn't have any volume on it, but the glasses had :) And that's when I took pictures of what we actually got...

    Good experience in the Holy cow for our dinner date. It was out first time to visit this resto. Due to pandemic we have to register and order online inside the resto. Everything done smoothly. Well it was a little late of waiting but we had fun. A cozy place with huge windows its a bit awkward 😅 whenever when we had taking pictures/selfies cause everyone is passing by and they will look at inside🤣. It has also in thr basement but we didnt go there because it was crowded enough for us to be scared in this time of the year. We ordered mainly burgers and fries and drinks everything has a cost not even the water is free of charge 🙃. Mississippi moonshine my husband ordered it, was spicy he said amd likes it. Mine i ordered the Beijing barbecue and the brava fries. Its affordable and its really big 😉. Happy eating.

    (Translated by Google) This is a burger you must definitely try when you are in Bergen! The portions are generous and the prices are good. The service is nice. Ordered via app and the drink arrived right away. The food came right after so if you are hungry you get a good burger quickly. (Original) Dette er en burger du absolutt må prøve når du er i Bergen! Porsjonene er rause og prisene er gode. Betjeningen er hyggelige. Bestilte via app og drikken kom med en gang. Maten kom like etter så er du sulten så får du god burger raskt.

    “The best burger I’ve ever had” according to my vegan girlfriend! Good service and great food. Not cheap, but nothing is in Norway.

    Dreadful Service, eventually they arrived burgers cold chips cold. Over rated. Never again. The waitress was more interested in getting our names in the covid book!

    Really nice bugers to try here, lot of choices and beautiful seating area In downstairs. I tried the Mississippi Moonshine buger, and it was good. I tried to use the QR code, and it did not load for my mobile since I was from outside Norway. The only suggestion I have is to have an English menu and also fix the QR code 😊

  • 5/5 Jose G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always appreciate Hindu temples right in the center. The temple consists of two floors where alcohol can be enjoyed as long as one does not violate the religious and cultural guidelines. All in all, a great place for cows in general :) (Original) Setter alltid pris på hinduistiske tempeler midt i sentrum. Tempelet består av to etasjers hvor alkohol kan nytes så lenge man ikke overstreder de religiøse og kulturelle retningslinjene. Alt i alt et flott sted for kyr generelt :)

    Good service, nice location. The burgers are very good and juicy, flavors are well composed. Try out the Carolina reaper dip! Good punch, but still a good taste. Sweet potato fries thin and crunchy😁

    Excellent burgers, probably some of the best in Bergen. The fries were spot on too. It felt comfortable, not too noisy and over crowded even when it was full. We ordered and paid using the app and it was quick and efficient. Service was fast and friendly too. I'll definitely be coming here again. Would recommend to others

  • 3/5 Sarah A. 8 months ago on Google • 91 reviews
    Beautiful restaurant but the food is way overpriced. I paid about $27 USD for a burger, fries and a soda. Mind you, there’s very little service provided if you’re dining in. You simply order from a QR code on the table and someone drops off your food. It definitely gave me fast food vibes. Food was good but not worth $27 given you don’t get any service really.

  • 5/5 Neil S. 4 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    With a diary and egg intolerance it was fantastic to finally find somewhere you could get a delicious moist green jalapeno beef Burger in a vegan brioche bun and vegan cheese. Delicious. Fryes in garlic olive oil. Delicious. 10/10 for friendly helpful waitress and ambience. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Lucy C. 9 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    You can make almost any burger vegan, and vegans have a choice of 2 patties! I’m not vegan but I tried the beetroot one with the “Holy Moly”; I recommend. However, I wish there was the option to eat with cutlery if you don’t want messy hands (or if that’s already an option, for it to be clearer)

  • 4/5 Nora K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good food. Ordered the vegan burger and it tasted very digg. Not a fan of the website they use to order, but otherwise a very nice place to eat (Original) God mat. Bestilte vegansk burger og den smakte meget digg. Ikke noe fan av nettsida de bruker til bestilling, men ellers en veldig hyggelig plass å spise

    Very simply the best burgers in Bergen. Returning now, only return again soon.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly helpful and reassuring with my gluten allergy. They clearly listed everything that was GF, and they used dedicated fryers for the fries. Ate here two nights in a row and didn’t get sick either time. The food was terrific. Delicious gluten free brioche bun, perfectly cooked meat, and delicious French fries. Must go if you’re looking for an allergen safe and overall very tasty meal in downtown Bergen! The helpful staff deserve a 10/10 as well!

    Excellent burgers. They can change all of their burgers and sauces to a vegan one. Even the kids menu can be veganized! All clearly marked on their online menu. The staff is friendly, food a little pricey. Beer and alcohol is served downstairs.

  • 5/5 Preben H. 10 months ago on Google
    Felt welcome immediately after entering the door. Customer service was outstanding. The toasted bun was a good choice and was only lightly so it didn't feel burned. Good information about sizes, but needed to ask. With my back to the windows it was a nice calm atmosphere, but it's in the middle of the city and being able to have it's open environment is a huge plus. 9.5/10

  • 5/5 Fabian A. 8 months ago on Google
    Almost every Burger can be made 100% Vegan (they also have glutenfree brioches)! The Burger i had was delicious and they have the best fries in my opinion!

  • 4/5 Laura L. 8 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Great, but a bit expensive burgers and fries. The big plus is the option to order online and choose the ingredients yourself. The food came very quickly, but the place was a bit noisy. Overall would recommend.

  • 5/5 Michelle B. 8 months ago on Google
    We stopped here at random while visiting Bergen from the US. I had the Basic Burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. Really flavorful, cooked nicely to medium, and the burger was the right size for the bun so you could actually eat it without the whole thing falling apart. If I ever am back in Bergen, I will definitely find this place again.

  • 4/5 Matt T. 8 months ago on Google
    Really nice burger spot, service was especially good from the women at reception, gave us a whole tour of the menu, and the vegan options available. We took a normal cheese, vegan cheese, 2 different fries and some sauces, all were nice! Overall though was one of the more expensive locations in the city, but would come again!

  • 5/5 hanna n. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent and reasonably priced burgers (Royale with Cheese), the first skinny fries we’ve seen in Norway. Friendly staff, still tap water available. Easy and comfortable. Highly recommend! ETA: forgot to mention the toasted buns. Perfect.

  • 5/5 Dominika H. 3 years ago on Google
    The Cheese bacon with chicken was absolutely amazing! Meat was juicy and portion was huge. Plus, The holy cow dressing was a great match when combined with fries! Also, I can also only recommend a personal visit to the store - guys who took our order on Sep. 25th around 7:30 p.m. were very professional, friendly and insanely patient despite the fact that they had around 20 other Foodora orders standing on the bar. Definitely my new favorite place in Bergen!

    (Translated by Google) The waiter was nice! The table was draughty. The burger was perfectly fine. Aside from cooking and carrying it to the table, I had to do all the work myself. But when, after countless clicks in the menus, I discovered that a french fries were missing, the waiter was, as I said, extremely helpful. The third star is his. (Original) Kelneren var hyggelig! Bordet var trekkfullt. Burgeren var helt grei. Bortsett fra å lage maten og bære den til bordet, måtte jeg gjøre all jobben selv. Men når jeg etter utallige klikk i menyene oppdaget at det manglet en pommes frites, var kelneren som sagt særdeles behjelpelig. Den tredje stjernen er hans.

  • 3/5 Jens A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Absolutely OK food. Tried out the app to order the food and it was a bit knotty but we got the food quickly after it was ordered. Got a well done burger even though I ordered medium but do not see it as the end of the world. The fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings were good and all in all the food was good but a little too pricey. (Original) Helt OK mat. Prøvde ut appen for å bestille maten og det var litt knotete men vi fikk maten raskt etter at den var bestilt. Fikk en well done burger selv om jeg bestilte medium, men ser ikke det som verdens ende. Fries, søtpotetfries og løkringer var godt og alt i alt var maten god, men litt for dyr.

    (Translated by Google) One of the worst servings I have seen. We were 6 people (Family) who sat down at intervals. Next to us sat another group who sat very close to each other and did not take care of infection control. Before we saw the menu, a cheeky female waitress came up to us and said that we could not sit there due to the Corona situation. Then we say that the group next to us sat much closer together than we did. Then the waiter responds by saying that they had 2 tables, and that we only had 1. But if you looked at them, you could clearly see that the whole group used one and the same table while their other table was behind the whole group and only had some bags on it. This place is a place I would not recommend to at all. Poor operation, poor tables, chairs and environment When it comes to food, I can not say anything special because we did not get that far, but I do not want to say that it looked like good quality food. (Original) En av de dårligste betjeningene jeg har sett. Vi var 6 personer (Familie) som satt seg med mellomrom. Ved siden av oss satt det en annen gruppe som satt veldig nærme hverandre og ikke passet på smittevern. Før vi fikk sett på menyen så kommer en småfrekk kvinnelig servitør bort til oss og sier at vi ikke kan sitte der pga Corona situasjonen. Deretter sier vi at gruppen ved siden av oss satt mye nærmere hverandre enn det vi gjorde. Da svarer servitøren med å si at de hadde 2 bor, og at vi bare hadde 1. Men hvis man så på de, så så man tydelig at hele gruppen brukte ett og samme bord imens det andre bordet deres var bak hele gruppen og bare hadde noen vesker på den. Dette stedet er et sted jeg ikke ville anbefalt til i det hele tatt. Dårlig betjening, dårlige bord, stoler og miljø Når det gjelder maten så kan jeg ikke si noe særlig fordi vi ikke kom så langt, men jeg vil ikke si at det så ut som god kvalitets mat.
