I'm American and I've had In-N-Out Burger so of course I'm a little skeptical when I see animal…read morestyle French fries. First....you must make a reservation!! Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.

They are well cooked and plated nicely. The fries are reasonable. The milk shakes are all milk and very little ice cream. This is a European take on a small 50's dinner experience. The outside seating is nice and it is right on a bus stop.

I'm so glad we did because we met the owner and he was very kind and hospitable. He told us he would make the best American burgers for the Americans-haha! He definitely followed through with that promise. Zurich is lucky to have such an amazing burger joint and I'm happy to say this place has grade A American burgers! Skip McDonalds and go out of your way to come here!!

I was dying for a burger and Holy Cow looked like a great option. The burger (I ordered the cheese…read moreburger) but it was disappointing. The burger looked (and somewhat tasted) pre-processed, like the burgers you purchase in the frozen food section. It was the delicious, hand shaped beef patty I was expecting. I was, though, pleasantly surprised with the fries. They were incredibly fresh (too hot to eat for several minutes) and while thick (I normally don't like thick fries) very crispy exterior and not mealy. Loved them. Also liked the ketchup, tasted more natural than your typical Heinz. A good meal but the burger could be even better.

Came here on a Friday evening and was lucky enough to be seated outside! The inside would've been…read moretoo warm and stuffy (though they did have a fan running in there to help circulate the air). Was served almost immediately, so A+ for service, which remained pretty attentive throughout the evening. Interior is typical of your Swiss "American roadhouse" style diners, with lots of pictures of famous people on the wall. Nice ambience, though. I was pretty bummed that I couldn't have the burger with a bacon and a sunny-side-up egg (don't remember the name of the burger), as it was available only from Mondays-Wednesdays. Ah, well, next time! Anyway, I did order the Venice Beach (coleslaw, onions, bacon) - and I have to admit, I've never, ever thought of putting coleslaw into my burger, but it works well! Their coleslaw is also pretty good, which is worth a mention because most places can't make it right. The burger itself was not bad, though I found the bun to be a little much and took away from the taste of the burger itself. Had onion rings (really good) and garlic dip (good too), but what's really worth a mention are the sweet potato fries - which were absolutely fantabulous. They were a little thicker than I was used to, but were somehow perfectly crispy and tasted so good! To top off the evening, I tried some of the American cheesecake, which at CHF 8,50 is pretty steep, but oh my god, I have never had better cheesecake in this country! It's a little lighter than your actual American cheesecake, but this isn't a bad thing. The texture, consistency, and taste were still there. The graham cracker crust was a little more mushy and grainy than what I'm used to, but now I'm just nitpicking. All in all, would definitely recommend.
