👍👍 Had the goat cheese burger and sweet potato fries. Burger came with a log of goat cheese almost the size of the two patties -- awesome! Fries were very crispy. On top, this place is a serious bar, great gin & tonics and very friendly staff. People often mention burger, good, service, burgers, Great, great, Good, nice, fries, staff,

    Nice cake and food, coffee is not best but it's ok, cheap beans. The place was packed on Thursday Lunchtime so it's got a good rep. Maybe a little bit to busy for layed back coffee and bit of older persons hang out but still nice none the less.

    Not bad if you need something in your stomach fast...actually nevermind, 40 minute wait time for a burger. And when you get it, it's not "amazing" It's okay, but definitely better places.

    I start with good. Service was very good, friendly girl that came to take our order because qr codes didn't work. Nice design of the place as well. However, burgers were a total disaster, unnecessarily. We ordered 210gr burgers and we got 3 burger waffles of 70gr, dry and well done. The whole point of a 200gr burger is to make it from one loaf of meat, so it keeps the juice and softness. Here they didn't follow that way, but are using premade little meat waffles. Not good. Fries were decent, not salty enough.

    Nice and cozy place, which at night turns into a sports bar. It is normal, but hamburgers are ordinary: they are not very juicy with a well-done roast. The coffee is good.

    Super good food. All dishes I head were amazing and my colleagues had also no complaints. Rather the opposite. Really really good food. We went there as a seminar dinner and it was really cozy. Super friendly people, too.

    (Translated by Google) Søren Bien .... 😔 Expectations and hopes were higher than what had been fulfilled. Ordered burger of type cheese and BBQ to bring. But would never take the food home anyway. Maybe the chef had a bad day, I don't understand that they can afford ... BBQ was terrific with one deciduous and microscopic lettuce leaf, empty slice was translucent, burger thinner than bacon slices, and bacon bitane slimmer than pig on the way to Guild 😑 And BBQ sauce? It was supposed to be, but tasted nothing. Maybe stepped into some pool of burgers? The cheeseburger was twice as thick as the BBQ, with the result that it was raw in the middle. So if this is the standard, it is not good enough to entice a new round of Bien. Too bad, because the city is cool, and the people there fine. But it's not the ones who make a saturation .... (Original) Søren Bien.... 😔 Forventningane og forhåpningane var større enn det som vart innfridd. Bestilte burger av type cheese og BBQ som ta med. Men skulle nok aldri teke maten med heim likevel. Kanskje kokken hadde ein dårleg dag, noko eg ikkje skjønar at dei kan ta seg råd til... BBQ var stusseleg med eitt løvtynt og mikroskopisk salatblad, tomstskiva var gjennomsiktig, burgaren tynnare enn baconskivene, og baconbitane slappare enn grisen på veg til Gilde 😑 Og BBQ-saus? Stod det skulle vere, men smakte intet. Kanskje trekt inn i eit litt basseng burgarbrød? Cheeseburgaren var dobbelt så tjukk som BBQ, med det resultat at den var rå i midten. Så om dette er standarden, så er den ikkje god nok til å lokka til ein ny runde på Bien. Synd, for staden er kul, og folka der fine. Men det er ikkje dei som gjer ein mett....

    (Translated by Google) The burger was wet at the back and the beer selection was not as good as described on the website. The burger tasted good despite and if there had been a good Stout for dessert I had become a little. Bad acoustics! (Original) Burgeren var våd bagerst og øludvalget var ikke så godt som beskrevet på hjemmesiden. Burgeren smagte godt på trods og havde der været en god Stout til dessert var jeg blevet lidt til. Dårlig akustik!

    Would not recommend!! Ordered through foodora delivery, food took a million years to be prepared and it was of an average quality. Not worth it.

  • 5/5 Cara S. 2 years ago on Google
    We checked out this place at the recommendation of our hotel employee and it was great! The burgers were huge and the service was quick. They even have a few craft beers on draft which complemented the meal well. My only frustration: We have encountered this a lot in Norway but for some reason the automated ordering systems require a confirmation code via text and the systems won’t text our +1 numbers. The server came and took our order so all was well in the end but it is a bit frustrating initially.

  • 3/5 Stian �. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and cozy. Friendly staff. Not a all-evening-out place, but a great place to meet friends and have a burger and a couple of drinks. The burgers were super tasty😊

  • 3/5 Sarah A. 7 months ago on Google
    I don’t really understand the hype. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how dirty this place was. I noticed two flies buzzing around indoor and the upholstery for the booth style seating is all stained. It’s pretty gross. The food was fine. I got the blue cheese burger and ate it all. The sweet potato fries were good but a lot of them were burned. I had the peach cider with dinner and that was probably the best part. It was pretty yummy. All together I paid $34 USD for dinner. I can’t say I would go there again.

  • 5/5 Liam B. 1 year ago on Google
    I'd been here in the past and wasn't particularly impressed. It was good but not so great. What a change though! This was among the best burgers I had had in Bergen in a some years. I'd definitely recommend and I'll definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Jamie H. 3 years ago on Google
    The burger I had was excellent. Well cooked and well put together. Since COVID they have an automated order and service system which works well. Service was fast so no complaints there. Prices were reasonable and what you would expect. Recommended.

  • 2/5 menno l. 1 year ago on Google
    Burger place with pricing of gourmet burgers (3 burgers + 3 fries + 3 drinks = 90 Euro) but with quality that closely resembles that of a fast food chain…Never again.

  • 1/5 Peter W. 1 year ago on Google
    According to the opening times this place is open until 11 pm. We got there at 9.45 pm and saw the same opening times on the actual entrance door to the restaurant, but the door was locked. We knocked on the door, an employee opened and informed us the place was closed. When we asked why it says everywhere (including on the very door she had just opened) that they are open until 11, she answered (no joke), “I don’t know about opening times”. LOL. This place is a joke.

  • 1/5 drew d. 1 year ago on Google
    so disappointed in this place…..poor service from being told where to sit (by the food pickup window on other side of bar - not welcoming with junk on counter, to waiting to order (no menu no code to scan-ignored….….i walked out and the servers didn’t seem to care

  • 5/5 Nadiia Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place with a delicious food and cool drinks :)

  • 2/5 Oddmar S. 5 months ago on Google
    I would characterize it as a slightly upscale McDonalds (but twice as expensive) that also serves beer. The burgers are standard slider patties. At my last visit both the burger and fries were barely luke warm, having probably been cooked some time earlier. I had to turn them back. The place was almost empty. There are better burgers to be had in Bergen.

  • 2/5 Anton S. 7 months ago on Google
    I was there at 16:05 17.09 I had a lot of questions about the menu, but they hinted to me, no one wants to answer them, I didn’t feel welcome here, I won’t come again, you can pay a little more attention to newcomers.

  • 5/5 Karl Mathias M. 4 years ago on Google
    A great small bar and restaurant. It’s the perfect place for an extended lunch or early dinner, with great burgers and and excellent fish ‘n chips. If you want to try something new and great tasting, try the vegetarian burger. It’s an exquisite burger and even as a non-vegetarian, I prefer it over a normal burger. It’s fantastic! Can also recommend the sweet potato fries!

    Probably the best burger in Bergen, regardless of price. But as it is mentionned, the prices are not too steep either. Burger and fries for around 200 NOK.

    (Translated by Google) History in a modernist straitjacket. Suddenly I was invited to dinner at Bien. Persian cod was on the menu, the family's Christmas menu since 1635. The entrees were tempting. Duck carpatio with fennel and broccoli with crockette potato. It became one of each on each of us. The large portions slid down with pleasure. The Persian cod was cooked to perfection. The accompaniment was historyless except for the pea puree. The butter sauce with cider worked excellently. The acidity of the alde cider gave a good balance in the rich sauce. The kale and roe pearls were wasted on me. Egg butter, carrots and bacon with fat, are more historically correct. The sublime delicate taste of the cod that flapped on the fork was fantastic. The lemon tart with meringue and the chocolate dessert was a nice finish. Next time we go to the "Meat Bazaar" so we let go of the cold draft every time the door opens. (Original) Historie i modernistisk tvangstrøye. Plutselig var jeg invitert på middag på Bien. Persetorsk sto på menyen, familiens julemeny siden 1635. Forrettene fristet. Ande carpatio med fennikel og broccoliet med crockettepotet. Det ble en av hver på hver av oss. De store porsjonene gled ned med behag. Persetorsken var perfekt tilberedt. Tilbehøret var historieløst bortsett fra ertepureen. Smørsausen med cider fungerte utmerket. Alde-ciderens syrlighet gav god balanse i den fyldige sausen. Grønnkålen og rognperlene var bortkastet på meg. Eggesmør, gulrøtter og bacon med fett, er mer historisk riktig. Den sublime sarte smaken av torsken som flakset seg på gaffelen var forøvrig fantastisk. Sitronterten med marengs og sjokoladedesserten ble en fin avslutning. Neste gang går vi i "Kjøttbasaren" så vi slipper den kalde trekken hver gang døren går opp.
