    Very good burgers, one of the best in Slovenia. Also chicken wings were great. House beer was OK. Prices are very expensive, burger was 12,9€ and beer 4,9€. These are 30% higher rates then usual Slovenian burger places, but I suppose they can keep it due to location in city center. Stuff is very friendly and vibe is good. My opinion is that I will definitely come back if I will want a good burger in city center, even if prices are high, so I will give it a 5.

    We had quite an experience. As soon as we sat outside in our table it started pouring rain. We had to wait at least 40 minutes for it to pass and get a new table inside. But after all the waiting I must say it was worth eating there. The BBQ ribs were amazing and the burgers were really good. It's an experience we will never forget.

    Very nice burger place. Also a great selection of (craft) beers. Burgers are consistent and cooked to perfection. No way to make a reservation unless a party > 10. Location and staff are also great, English speaking staff had humor and take their time. Would recommend this place to everyone!

    We sat next to the riverside! GREAT burger!!! So delicious (very juicy)! I had ‘The Boss’ burger and it was medium-rare. I loved it! The mojito is also amazing! Very friendly and humorous staff! I would definitely come back if there are chances in the future!

    Really good place for Burgers. Location is great, in the town center, along the river Ljubljanica. Burgers are good, tasty, the patties are really well made and perfectly cooked, you can choose if you want middle or full baked, and sauces are also so good. The beers are great too, I tried their own beer and it is 'like a water' which means excellent. We were seating outside, garden is really good and cozy. Definitely recommend

    Very good burgers and great great French fries. Great service that also ordered for us the taxi. Quick service nice local wines and very nice tender beef in the burgers. Even when evening was chilled the heaters kept as very warm outside. Before 9pm you need to order food as well it’s not only for drinks. Everything went very nice I would say for this quality that was for sure also very good quality.

    Best burgers in Ljubljana, as it seems. Staff was incredibly friendly. A lot of beers to choose from. Ask them about their beers, they have local, imported, international, national, etc etc etc. Good place for a quick bite.

    Very nice high-end burger restaurant with great amount of craft beers. Service here is also super friendly and professional. We took pimientos (7,9€) and just country style french fries (3,2€). Pimientos were very good and fries also. Fries came with ketchup and mayonese. Beers were very tasty and we also got good hints from bartender to choose good cocktails. Big recommendations! Just be aware that this place is so good that it will be fully crowded, but luckily there is a lot of tables.

    A really nice Burger Restaurant. We had the pleasure to sit outside this day cause the weather was perfect. Our Burger was really good and I remember that they have tons of good beers on the menu. The waiters was really fast and kind. That's what you need in a good restaurant. We're looking forward to visit this place on our next trip to Ljubljana. See You 🙋‍♂️

    Great and delicious burger with a pretty location right next to the river. The staff is friendly and kind. Definitely recommend coming here for some good burgers.

    I'm gluten free and I felt comfortable eating here. The lady that I spoke with was a great help with answering my questions. She was welcoming and friendly. They carry gluten free hamburger buns. My burger was huge, delicious, and the fries were yummy. I had ice cream for dessert and it was also tasty. My family enjoyed their meal and dessert. We had 2 large groups of people (about 50 total) eat at the restaurant and the food came out quickly and everyone was happy and satisfied. Well done! Highly recommend.

    The best burgers in the city! Delicious and tasty, many meat and nice souses. But, pomfrets are not included into serving, and not so big size of burgers.

  • 2/5 Aisha A. 8 months ago on Google
    Came here yesterday and it was HORRIBLE !! First I came in here and asked to be seated the waiter looked me and said that he will be here in a sec to get us seated although there was a plenty of seats available , after waiting standing for a good 15 min or so I asked him if I could get seated myself on a table that was just cleared by another guy he looked at me and told me to check in with his other colleagues to get seated the other was great and had us situated Now I will go in detail regarding the food -the Asian wok wings These were great ! Very well done and cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing - chicken burger I didn’t like this it lacked seasoning the breast it self could fit 2 burgers making it hard to eat -classic burger This was really good and juicy I liked it so was the cheese burger

  • 5/5 Sara S. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing burger and fries, though the bacon cheeseburger did not have much bacon flavor to it. The meat was perfectly done and the fries abundant and very crispy. Pop's beer is lovely! I had the NY cheesecake to go and it was supreme.

  • 5/5 Ioanna F. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Super clean and super comfy! The atmosphere is amazing especially if you visit during summer or autumn! The staff extremely helpful and polite! And the burgers to die for! Definitely try the one with the Slovenian bacon! And the sweet potato fries were delicious! We actually ordered a second portion of them! The best we have eaten even from the ones we eat in USA! Bravo!

    Delicious ribs and tasty chicken burger! Recommended by a friend of ours we decided to visit Pop’s and we didn’t regret it. The ribs are very tasty, tender and delicious. Prices in range.

  • 5/5 Jyotshna B. 3 months ago on Google New
    One of my favourite place to have lunch or dinner. Everytime when i am in ljubiana we surely go there. We eat all the time chicken and beef burger. Waiters are very nice. Sitting outside is much better than inside, however in cold winter preferably is inside. Price is also not so expensive

  • 4/5 Flor A. 11 months ago on Google
    The place is nice. I order a Caesar’s salad and for me was enough, it was a big and nice salad. My hubby asked for a burger and he says that the meet was really nice and sauce as well but he says the bun was dry. The rest ok. Nice beer and potatoes. And of course, really nice view! We sat outside and the day was wonderful so we really enjoyed it. The attention was kind and fast.

  • 4/5 Mark K. 3 months ago on Google New
    There is a lot of hype around this place in Ljubljana, so we decided to give it a try. It was good but nothing special, prices are a bit on a high side but it was good. We were here in December so we were seated inside and it was nothing special but during summer you can seat out side and its a lot better because you have beautiful view on the castle & river.

  • 5/5 Rares I. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars for the quality. The chicken burger is good but the beef one really is a must try. Nice soft buns, meat cooked medium rare and juicy, cheese and sauce also tasty. Pretty expensive (12.9€) keeping in mind that you have to order fries separately but definetely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Miloš M. 2 years ago on Google
    Top 3 burgers I ever had, easy. Great staff, great view, and great food all round. Don't miss this one out if you like burgers or ribs 😀

  • 4/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked their burger, but loved their BBQ ribs! I was really looking forward to my burger after seeing that their menu was mainly hamburgers. Everyone around me also ordered burgers so I thought I was in for a treat. I ordered the California Classic burger and my wife, not being a red meat eater, opted for BBQ pork ribs. Well, the burger was average. Their thousand island dressing was a little too sweet and the brioche bun wasn't very good. The meat itself was dry despite being cooked medium. Maybe it was too lean. I guess I'm just spoiled after growing up in Southern California. However, I was surprised by their ribs. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and their homemade BBQ sauce was nice. The sauce would have been better with a little bit of spice, but it was still pretty darn good. I'm so glad my wife was nice enough to share her dish with me. I would recommend Pop's for the ribs, but not their burgers.

  • 4/5 Martina G. 1 year ago on Google
    These burgers are very good. The waiter was friendlier than most Slovenian waiters, which unfortunately isn't a high bar. The toilet situation is dire, with one cubicle "for women" and one cubicle "not for women". Not sure if this is supposed to be funny, but it leads to the inevitable queue of women desperate for a pee or to wash their hands, while the other cubicle is unoccupied. Really?! Move with the times and let the poor girls use both your loos, if you only have two cubicles to begin with!

  • 5/5 Nora K. 1 year ago on Google
    We’ve been here on a Monday evening. The location is really nice to sit down, the waiter was super friendly and fast and the beers and the food was super tasty. Definitely would recommend!

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing burgers... best we've had in Slovenia! So good, we returned a second time. Our favorite was the Jack Ryan burger (spicy). Gets busy, but the host does a good job keeping things in order when there's a wait for tables. Great location and mostly outdoor seating, great for summer and people-watching. Our server Daša was great! Very efficient and friendly, even with the large crowds on Friday night.

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and house beer. Staff were excellent and helpful. Be warned that on an evening there may be a slight wait to get seated but it is worth it.

  • 4/5 Marco B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome tasty burgers and large selection of craft beers. Would definitely recommend if you like 🍔! Only minor feedback would be that when you order potatoes with herbs you get fries instead? 🐱

  • 5/5 No N. 1 year ago on Google
    The pepper appetizer is great, though no spice. Consider adding a little hot sauce if you’re inclined. The Jack Ryan burger is excellent and IS spicy. Meat is very juicy and tender, burger will fill you up. Sweet potato fries are great, and they even are smart enough to have the container magnetized to the plate. Get the lone wolf IPA!

  • 5/5 Marko I. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, this must be one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. * Meat is real beef (smell and taste), juicy and full of flavor * Buns are really soft We had multiple burgers, here is the ranking list: 1. Bacon cheese burger - By far the best burger I ever tried 2. The boss 3. Original 4. Jack ryan - Nothing special honestly, because you don't feel the sauce. Also a must try is onion rings as they are unique and super crunchy. Ribs are also good but a burger is a must. This is a place you must visit 2-3 times to try all the great stuff.

  • 5/5 Jonathan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Still an amazing place. I drop by evertime I'm on my way from Vienna to Croatia and vise versa. Today was extra special as the place was packed and reserved, yet I was accommodated nonetheless. I could choose between chicken and beef, so I got both. Equally amazing.

  • 5/5 A. S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place with super nice staff! The food is really really good and the beer choices are endless! We really enjoyed the chicken and silverston burgers but honestly everything is amazing. At peak hours there might be a bit of a wait for the table but is well worth it. You can also order to go. Btw the juicy ipa went really well with our food :) would recommend!!

  • 4/5 Ozzy O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice bar with good food, beer and wines. Service was friendly and efficient. My ribs were tasty and the meat fell from the bone as it should. My wife had a 'Dirty Mac' which is a good copy of a Big Mac. As sides we had fries and onion rings. Unfortunately the onion rings were more oily batter than onion, so would not take again. On the whole a nice experience.

  • 5/5 Ian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Rare craving for a burger was more than satisfied here. Great location right on the river, lots of home-made burger options and a ton of craft ales. Perfect.

  • 5/5 sader 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal burger place. Location was great, in the town centre, along the river. Burgers are amazing, and they go down easy too. The patties are really well made and perfectly cooked, and sauces, cheese and other garnish are delicious. The beers are great too, at least those we've tried. We also got the apple pie, which was exquisite. Well spiced, nice and warm, with some good ice cream on top. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Isidora M. 2 years ago on Google
    Restaurant in the very heart of Ljubljana. BBQ Spare Ribs were so delicious. You must try it! We also tried Pop's House Lager beer, it was good. Excellent service, kind and interesting staff.
