Qype: "Hesburger" Restaurant in Hamburg

Hamburg - Restaurants - Fast Food & American

I sort of imagined Hesburger to be some sort of gourmet burger place for some bizarre reason - perhaps its Finnish roots. It's not.

A weird McDonalds clone, there are several of them on the Reeperbahn. It looks kind of like a generic takeaway from the outside, no distinct branding. The burgers are ropey as hell - basically, like McDonalds, except they make no effort to hide the fact you're eating crap that's being cooked from frozen. No, indeed, they whip out the frozen cardboard meat and slam it on the hotplate in front of you. A machine swings down over the top for around 30 secs and often the burgers get stuck on it as it goes up again - leaving it hanging and dripping with fat.

Yum.
