    Important notice at first: You can’t pay by card, cash only. An ATM is nearby though. Beginning the review now, the burgers were excellent, they were perfectly cooked as we wanted them, they were really tasty, juicy and made of high quality ingredients. The service was great too. Our trip to the ATM wasn’t appreciated, but as it was nearby, it was not a big inconvenience.

    11/10 a perfect burger. Maybe the best burger? The quality of beef and all ingredients is honestly 👌 *chef's kiss* The buns are the softest. Fries, onion rings, coleslaw are all a must... so go hungry! The lime mayo was my favorite of the condiments but honestly you can't go wrong with anything there. To top it all off, the prices and service are fantastic. Absolutely recommend

    Delicious burgers! I’m so glad we found this place, close to where we are staying. I had the Juicy Lucy and brave hubby who likes heat, had the Hellboy. Our nice server did warn him that the peppers they use are the third hottest in the world, so he tried a taste of the hot sauce, and went for it. By the end of it, he was really aware of it🤣 Both of us had onion rings and they were great as well. The uniqueness of their specialty burgers were a nice change from the typical toppings obe usually gets. We had beers and cokes which I included in the per person total.

    Came with the group of friends and therefore I have called the restaurant if they could prepare table for 7. The lady that answered did not seem to be happy about it however she said they do. We care in - we were a group of mixed nationalities but she did not even bother to ask if we would like an English menu - not nice! Strawberry lemonade was tasteless and we ended up waiting for the burgers for more than 40’. My burger ban had a finger hole in it...Taste of the burger 5/10. We understand that we were a bigger group but we definitely deserved nicer service... will not return.

    Recommended by a friend and first burger in Prague. With some decent experience with burgers, I can guarantee that these burgers (Farmer's cambrio and Juicy Lucy) were top notch! The stack of egg, bacon, cheese and meat was a bit suspicious just based on the description (possibly really fat and greasy) but turned out to be really well balanced and not feeling heavy afterwards! The taste was absolutely delicious and my friend definitely agreed on that point. The fries are for sure above the average fries you can find as they are homemade topped with parsley. Their homemade lemonade (peach flavored was chosen) was also really tasty and most important, not filled with sugar at all. Really easy to drink and feeling fresh! In short: definitely a burger place to try!

    The burgers were delicious and the menus are in English which was very helpful, a good selection of options. Only downside and why we didn't rate it a 5 star was that when we went to pay it was cash only and the waiter neglected to tell us this before we ordered. All the bank tellers within walking distance were euro net which means we had to pay 99czk fee and horrible exchange rate.

    Really good burgers and fries for pretty good price (179 kč per burger). You cannot pay by card, hence 1 star down.

    We made a reservation for 3 on Saturday evening. Waitresses were okay. Food took maybe 30 minutes, had some beer specials while we waited. Onion rings were amazing, best i have had in prague. The juicy lucy was really good, the Greench was okay, but felt it could have used something extra to really make it a great burger. The prices still please us, for the great quality.

    A hidden gem in Prague! Visiting from London without a reservation, we were asked to return in 30 minutes due to the bustling atmosphere, which we embraced by enjoying a beer at a nearby bar. The restaurant was accommodating with English menus, offering affordable, top-notch burgers—far better value than in London. The homemade chips and perfect onion rings paired well with local beer. Simona provided excellent service, recommending delicious burgers. Note that it’s cash only, but supporting local businesses is worth it. Apologies to Simona for the modest tip; I’ll be more generous next time. Thank you! 🙏

    Both the burger and the fries were absolutely delicious! That might be the best burger I have ever eaten. The meat is cooked and seasoned just on point; the taste of meat does not overpower other ingridients. I chose a garlic sauce to go with my fries and it was amazing, I am a big fan of garlic and the sauce still managed to make my jaw drop. Everything paired just perfectly with a cold beer. Besides the food, the staff was very friendly and joyful. If you haven't been there yet, you definitely should give this place a try! I will surely come back again.

    The guys here really understand the burger. Taste of the meat, consistency of the bun, seasoning, ingredients distribution, temperature of serving, presentation and choice of sides. There is a science to all this and the team at Želva definitely nailed it. Solid service, laid back & grunge vibe and good music. The place to check out if looking for a burger in Prague!

    A very cozy place to enjoy your evening at. There are variety of burgers and all of them look interesting and tempting. The farm burger was great, but the playboy burger was not that tasty. It’s nice that you can choose how your meat is going to be cooked. Yeah and there is cash only payment.

    Currently one of my favourite burger place based on just one visit. Tasty juicy burger, great beer - Starokladno 12 was served during my visit. Small cosy burger gem. Looking forward to my next visit to reconfirm my first great impression. The place was quite busy Friday afternoon so I recommend reservation in case you don't want to wait for free table. Update 31.10.2020 After many visits I can say that this the best burger at Prague and possibly Czech Republic. Sure I start to see some downsides. The place is a bit small, usually crowded and your clothes can get a bit burger scent most likely due to poor ventilation system. But what the hell, this is just the price you have to pay for this amazing burgers! And the cost/quality ratio is unbeatable.

    It was my first meal after the quarantine. The place is not big , but the burger was really juicy and well prepared. The roka leaves and the sauce were tasty. The bun was soft and crispy and the putty was very tasty. Service was also good.

    Was here a week ago. I will never forget the friendliness, the atmosphere for such a small local burger shop! True and original, from the flavor , the labor of the people and the fulfillment I felt after. Definitely worth visiting again!!

    Friendly place and interesting beers that you don't usually find in Prague. I didn't eat but the burgers looked (and smelled) good.
