    Big Fernand was super busy when we visited for a quick bite before touring the Lourve. The food was freshly prepared and hot, but we unfortunately weren't big fans of the taste. It seems like this is the equivalent of American fast food, but compared to American burgers it just wasn't great. The patty was relatively thin and there was a sauce on it that we likened to the taste of a Sloppy Joe - sort of barbecue-y/ketchup-y. Perhaps we would have liked another one of their burgers more. If you are in a rush and don't have time to sit down, it may be a good option!

    Having burgers in Paris seems counterintuitive. But when we overslept during our nap and were hungry for something hot, Big Ferdinand sounded good. They have English menus but the staff was not very English speaking. That's fine but they had a hard time explaining they ran out of ingredients. Nevertheless we ordered their Big Ferdinand combo for 18€ which includes a burger, fries, a drink, and dessert. The burger was decent and had crispy bacon, grilled onions, and cheese in a soft sesame bun. Fries were hot and well seasoned and the coke served in a bottle. For dessert we had a tarte tatin glacé. Food-wise we were satisfied. Service was so-so. I think the cashier was not happy about or friendly to non-French speaking clientele. Customers before us were from the UK and the cashier kept rolling her eyes at them. She did the same to us. The kitchen staff, however, were fine and made our order quickly. Would we return? Maybe.

    Special burger and fries on pedestrian street.

    I've now been here twice while in Paris. Great burger and fries. Very pleasant servers who are patient with my lack of French.

    Charles Kuralt, the epic television journalist of "On The Road" who chronicled American life said that "you can find your way across the US using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars." Well, we extended the spirit of Kuralt's wisdom and ate burgers in Paris. We went here to see French people in their native habitat eating their version of "ze ambegere". The French love food, and I had heard that they had redefined the hamburger and made it their own, and this restaurant proves that it is true. Here, you have not just beef but veal and you also have lots of interesting cheese options. This really transformed the burger. I can't recall all the different kinds of combinations we had but they were all really good. Service was very fast and friendly. Vive le "ambegere"!

    Delicious burgers with a variety of choices (including a potato patty for vegetarians).

    Food here looks amazing. Next month when I visit Paris we're definitely hitting up this spot. So you ask, why review? Well, believe it or not someone made a phone game for this place which I totally beat! Game is called, Big Fernand! It's definitely fun and ngl it made me hungry!

    Was craving pommes frites (wrong country, I know) but ended up with American fries here. Oh, well. They were cheap and tasty. Didn't try the burgers but they looked good!

    Don't waste your time. Under cooked. Under seasoned. Not worth it. Go someplace else. Nice staff. Some English speakers.

    They charged me €22 for a burger that cost €15 and refused to refund me the difference. Toilets were a disgrace.

    Great Burger. Plus one of the few places in the area where you can grab a quick bite or get take out without having to wait too long.

    You know a grub spot is gonna be dope when you walk in and they're playing some good ass hip hop…read morejoints--- Slum Village, ATCQ, Jurassic 5, Les Nubiennes... the jams were just as tight as the flavor. After a long walk through the shops of Bastille, our feet got tired, and craved a good burger. Mapped out "best burger in town" and this spot popped up, with the label on the door reading "The Best Burger in Town". Pierre hooked it up with some good service. They had an English menu available via QR code... thank goodness. My hubs had the Clakos Burger, this month special served with Camembert Au Lait Cru, some good ass cheese from Normandy. It takes a lot to get to the depth of my husbands belly and make him smile after a good meal, but this burger had him pleased. Few good pointers from him: loved the red bell peppers in it, the bread was so soft and fresh, the meat was flavorful, and the cheese was outstanding. My son had a plain cheeseburger-- his points were: the meat was so good, and flavorful all around. A 5 out of 5 coming from a 7 year old. I had the chicken nuggets. 6 pcs for 7€. Not to shabby, and they served it with a choice of barbecue sauce and or sweet and sour sauce. Yum. This location was small, and easy to miss. Just look for a small door and window. The size of a hallway, there are four tables with comfortable seating inside. And a hand wash sink up at the front from All the burger juice that will drip down your hands as you devour. We learned they have 4 locations, one owner, and the bread is cooked fresh daily. Definitely will be back on our next trip!

    The best burger joint! The burger tartare was amazing and the chips were even crispier!…read more The drinks were even stronger! Definitely worth the visit for a fantastic burger
