    I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌

    Pretty decent burger bar for CH, definitely worth popping in. Great selection of beef or chicken burgers, fries are pretty generic...but for Switzerland this is great! Prices aren't too bad either ~20 for a menu...nice and quick, tasty and easy. But don't come expecting an amazing dining experience!

    Really good value for money for Switzerland. Burger patty wasn’t the highest quality but with the meal deal there was the option for unlimited refills of certain drinks and a large serving of chips.

    Great burger. The beef patties were fantastic. I'm not a big fan of the fries though. They're thick like wedges but have this particularly crunchy outside which my stomach isn't a fan of but that's just a personal thing. They have wifi but not for paying customers. The restrooms are split out. The mens entrance is further away from the order counter. There are some plugs/outlets but not all tables have. Decent amount of seating too. Their own cola is pretty good too. And obviously it's Swiss prices.

    Surprisingly massive burgers and excellent fries. The dressing/accoutrements/what validates the variety in the burgers was a bit lacking to be honest and left the whole thing feeling a bit dry, which is not helped by a delicious bun that just happens to be rather thick and dense.

  • 4/5 Santiago T. 5 years ago on Google • 473 reviews
    Good variety of burgers with different international flavors. We had the Satay burger as well as avocado and bacon and the Teriyaki burger. All of them had a very interesting taste. The fries are good as well here. The service is over the counter but they are very kind and listen to any variation you might want to do you to your burger. Surprisingly this place does not serve coke or any other soft drink which almost made me give a 3 Stars :-) Good place to try new burgers!

    Tasty fast food burger. Place is usually busy with a good atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Armaan S. 6 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Did not like my burger that much but that might have been my fault since I don't typically like BBQ sauce. That being said the quality all sempt alright not great. Service was nice and the atmosphere was definitely better than what you would find at a McDonald's. Also good price.

  • 5/5 Jessica M. 2 months ago on Google • 32 reviews New
    One of the best burgers we’ve had ever! We definitely recommend it, the service was quick and restaurant seems popular.

  • 2/5 Belhaj A. 9 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    To be honest I expected better taste for the burger. I took a cheeseburger menu for 17 francs something. The meat was undercooked and tastes like a tartare more than a burger. The fries are so hard and without salt. I couldn't finish it eventhough I was so hungry... The guys working there are smiling and welcoming but I can't recommend a place just because the staff are kind. Sorry guys but the burger sucks.

  • 5/5 Rudi s. 4 months ago on Google
    Best burger in town, no doubt. Bottled beer needs a new fridge that makes the brew cold. Fries iffy.

  • 1/5 Samantha H. 10 months ago on Google
    I was excited to try this place, but sadly I was let down. The meat was way over processed, the food was very bland. I took two bites and walked out. I hate to say it but Five Guys around the corner does a better job. Steer clear of Holy Cow!

  • 2/5 Arun 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Generally bad cheese burger... meat seems reheated rather than freshly cooked and had a strange texture and no taste. Fries were pretty good..

  • 4/5 HAZ 7 months ago on Google
    The food was good, I found the service lousy as if they didn’t really care. The French fries were the best food on the menu. The meat tasted processed.

  • 5/5 Eva María D. 10 months ago on Google
    I've eaten the ELVIS BLUE CHEESE and it has been amazing! The first bite was just an explosion of flavors, really really good and for a good price :)

  • 4/5 Apple Tree F. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite nice selection of burger options, fantastic food. Prices are rather suitable (for Switzerland). Other parts of menu don’t have as many options however a great place for lunch and dinner!

  • 4/5 Martin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty alright burger place, food was extremely fast and they had a surprising good selection of beers. I wouldn't really recommend sitting and eating there, as it was pretty noisy and not that pleasant atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Tariq L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good burgers in a nice location.

  • 4/5 Seeen L. 1 year ago on Google
    Big portion and nice taste for a fast food restaurant. Ordered avocado bacon beef burger, definitely worth trying!

  • 2/5 Dino B. 1 year ago on Google
    this is completly overrated my burger was cold and my friend didnt get his big cheese. I buy a menu for 20fr and it was nd good the best thing is close this shop directly. have a nice day

  • 5/5 Behnam K. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best burger you can have in Lausanne. The french fries are terrific and the meat is fresh. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nothing exceptional but the food is great.

  • 4/5 ahmed Al m. 2 years ago on Google
    Holy cow burger 🍔 😋 is one of the best burger I have eaten 😋, it is fresh, delicious, also the French fries 🍟 delicious and fresh, friendly staff with excellent service. Price is reasonable compared to the the quality and taste of sandwiches, try the Mexican burgers it is one of the best in the menu.

  • 4/5 Fredrik C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice burger, the sallad and sauce was awesome, meat was good, bread was big and also a little dry (should have been better heated). The fries was very nice. Compared with a cheap burger this is very good. But do not go with local soda, it is not nice...

  • 5/5 shubham C. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a nice outlet with very nice range of burgers, unlike other food chains the quality and size is in a grander scale I am not a big fan of French fries but the fries here were super super nice, crunchy, tasty, big....

  • 5/5 Tijs B. 5 years ago on Google
    Had a very tasty burger. I was just wondering why it's called "Holy Cow", there are more chicken burgers on the menu than beefburgers ^_^ It's a cheap place to eat if you compare it to others pubs/restaurants. It's a kind of fastfood, but much better!

  • 5/5 Pot N K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place offers great burgers and greater fries. The fries are au natural, with crispy potato skin. It is a burger franchise in Switzerland and a must-try if you come Switzerland.

  • 2/5 Endri B. 2 years ago on Google
    Menu Yo Ginza chicken, more bread than chicken, the chicken is so thin which is unbelievable, today you lost a customer…
