    We had the original Bosna here. Loved it. The original comes with just the sausage and small diced onions/parsley and a spiced powder. This small (truly) a hole in the wall has a great food. Been in this spot for 75 years and going. Worth the wait. There were 15 or so people in line at any given time.

    The place was a bit hard to find as it's located in an alley. When we found it, there was a small group of people. We ordered our bosna at the window. It is a kind of hot dog said to have originated in Salzburg. It consists of a grilled sausage with curry powder placed between bread with onions and parsley. It was a nice and quick snack.

    The place was hard to find, but after struggling a bit we finally found it. Thankfully, there was no line, just lot of folks standing around and enjoying their meal. It's literally a hole in the wall join, two ladies working inside. One lady cooking the sausages, the other taking orders and making the sandwich. We got the original, it was decent, but I wasn't "full", so I ordered #2 and honestly, I liked the #2 better than the original (#1), but it all comes down to personal preferences. I liked the bread, it was crispy outside, chewy inside. Over, decent, they also sell beer, the line moves fast, food comes out quickly.

    Tasty sandwich with parsley, onions, spice blend, and we got the #2 that includes mustard. Line was long, but it moved quick. It's worth the wait. Look for #33 above the archway.

    Super popular Balkan brat sandwich with a long line. On this day it took 20 minutes to get to the little booth with 2 ladies working inside. Not sure what the hype is about these Balkan hotdogs because there are many other places offering these Balkan hotdogs.

    This is the best spot to get a quick snack if you're in the old town area. The sausages are cooked fresh. The bread is seared and crisped just enough. Even the onions area seared just right. You're only going to pay just a few euros for anything on the menu. A line may form but it moves super fast. This hole in the wall is located in an alley and not on a major street. Pat attention to where you need to turn into the alley and look for the group waiting to order!

    The Balkan-Grill is Historic sausage stand that has been in Salzburg since 1950 serving a Bulgarian take on a bratwurst called a Bosna. Basically it's a thin pork sausage mixed with curry, paprika, maybe some mustard seed. The thin wurst are grilled so to get some snap to the casing. I like that they put 2 thin links on the toasted bun, which kept the wurst to bun ratio even. I got the original number 1 which had chopped onion and parsley and some more of the spice blend added. Hindsight, I should have gotten some ketchup on it, as I did find it a bit dry, thus the 4 stars. But definitely something you should get as a snack when walking around Salzburg. Tasty with a unique flavor because of the curry seasoning.

    Balkan Grill introduced me to bosna during my trip to Salzburg and I was immediately hooked! It looks simple, but packs so much flavor. The sausage is snappy, the curry powder adds a little heat, and everything is tucked into a nicely toasted bun. I recommend ordering the option with mustard (senf)! It's tucked in an alley, but you'll see it shortly after turning in.

    Bosna sausage - is the best to get it here of all places! It's in the center and hidden gem in Old Town with a long line, but ever so worth it! Cash only to move the line. Crunchy and freshly toasted up bread with onions and sprinkled with curry powder on 2 sausages! Love! I had a party in my mouth.

    You must get a bosna when in Salzburg. Luckily, the queue was not bad when we each ordered food here. We had a number 1 and a number 5. The line moves quickly. Please note that this is takeaway only. There are no tables to dine here.

    The food was nice, double sausages grilled right in front of you. It was tasty and the service was very quick. Nice ambiance of a street food vendor. I would definitely come back and try again. A little expensive at €4.9 for how little food you are getting compared to a durum.

    great food and great price! hole in the wall and if you need something quick and mobile this works. takes cash only!!

    This is THE place for amazing American food. The owner is so nice and the place is fun! USA stuff…read moreall around and yes, the owner has been to the states and took a HUGE tour throughout our country! Awesome burgers with amazing buns. Their fries were some of the best I have ever had and I have eaten fries all over the US. Local? Eat here! Traveling through eat here! It is that good!

    Located just about a minute or two by foot away from the more touristy places in the pedestrian…read morezone, this American diner is somewhat of a hidden gem in Salzburg. Ask any local for the best burgers in town and you can be sure that Goodmans will be among the names you get. And it doesn't stop there. Unlike your usual hipster places they don't just sell burgers, but actually have a full diner menu on offer. Starters, Soups, Sandwiches, Steaks, Salads - you name it. While the place may be a bit hard to spot from the outside, it just screams American Diner on the inside. The owner has been collecting and decorating his store with authentic diner decorations from all over the US and there is even a real, working Wurlitzer music machine. Speaking of the owner...  his name is Marko Gutman (hence the diners name). I first read about his story in a local newspaper article and it was quite impressive. He basically scraped all of his money together and sold his car and bike to fulfill his lifelong dream of owning an American diner. He's very dedicated, a nice and interesting guy to chat with and you will usually meet him when you visit the place. But, enough with the blah blah, let's get to the good part: The food. Like I mentioned earlier, they very likely serve the best Burgers in all of Salzburg. And I'm not just talking about the Salzburg the city. Their highlight of the (burger) menu - and also what I order most often - is the Goodmans Burger. Black Angus beef with all the works... including bacon, eggs and their great home made barbecue sauce. If you don't fancy that combo you can also "customize" your own beef or chicken burger. All burgers come with nice and crispy home made fries and are served on something that actually deserves to be called a burger bun btw. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to give the rest of the main courses a try yet, but I will soon, hopefully  (the burgers are just too tempting). What you must try however is their signature desert: The Donut Burger. It's a Donut served with Nutella, crispy cornflakes and fruits. Tastes as wonderful as it sounds weird when you first hear about it. Have it, just trust me! Downsides? Well it's the City of Salzburg, so you can expect somewhat higher prices than in rural areas, but if you're used to your usual tourist places, prices are actually on the fair side. Regarding the Black Angus Burger: it's 19.90 Euros including fries. Last time we were there my girlfriend had a Beef Burger with blue cheese, avocado, tomato and onions (+ fries), which was easily as good at about half the price (~11 EUR). So choose wisely! Bottom line... my experiences with Goodmans so far: A+
