A frozen patty. A fake nice cashier dude completely messed up my order. On top of it, the food was very cold. They probably rushed it.

Holy deliciousness! Great burgers!! Huge and hearty with great fries and a peach tea! Just Yum! read more

Holy Cow! - Chicken & Beef, bacon avocado and with fries and a drink (peach tea was yum)! Delicious and hearty to fill your appetite! Loved it here!! - Burgers Near Me - Geneva, GE

7/15/2024 - We walking out of the train station and towards our hotel and saw this HOLY COW. We looked it up and it was Swiss hamburgers. The reviews look good and we went there. We ordered a big cheese burger, burger and a burger with avocado. In about 15 minutes the burgers arrived and we were very pleased. The fries were excellent. They have student discounts as well. The only item is all three burgers had a light taste of BBQ sauce, which is from their homemade sauce. I will get the homemade sauce taken off next time. 5 stars. Enjoy the photos. They take cash or card. read more

Pros: Fries were great and sauces are good. Cons: FROZEN premade meat patty dressed up with "gourmet" toppings like arugula and homemade sauces. Expensive, especially for a frozen patty. Overall: There's a McDonald's, Burger King, and 5 guys right around the corner, go there instead. read more

Holy Cow! - Frozen disgusting meat patty - Burgers Near Me - Geneva, GE

We decided to drop by the train station in Geneve to walk around, and saw this burger place. Since we were meat starved for the past week, we decided to treat ourselves to a big juicy burger, especially when the price looked reasonable for Swiss standard and even for most American standard. We had 2 burgers to share amongst the 3 of us. We ordered the Montreux Jazz & Blues burger and the Camembert Cranberry chicken burger. I have to say the beef burger was definitely juicy, yummy and totally delicious !! We got the chicken burger as a meal (an extra CHF 4-5) for the fries and a bottle of non alcoholic drink. But they made an error and gave us the beef burger with fries as well. So we had double fries, with us being unable to finish up all the fries since the portion was very decent. Do get the fries since they were delicious- thinly crisp on the outside and sot in the inside. read more

Amazing!!!! This was the best meal I had in Switzerland! It was so good. I had the burger with the pineapple and mint sauce. Sounds strange but it was so good. I find beef in other countries outside of the USA tastes better anyway. The fries are the best part! They were So perfectly crispy and soft in the middle! I really enjoyed my meal and it's right across from the train station so it's easy to get to! Definitely try this place! read more

Holy Cow! - My amazing burger! - Burgers Near Me - Geneva, GE

Just across the train station, this is one of the most popular burger place in Geneva. The pros: Bun is very good and the smoked onions relish too. I really like the ghick cut fries that are crispy and not soggy. The apple soda is good too. The cons: the place itself looks really dated and a bit dirty. The toilets are horrible. Ordered some Avocado spread that was very sweet?! Price is high for the type of place (it is geneva but there is a limit) almost 40 Swiss franc for 2 menus. Conclusion: decent but not the best at all read more

I sure wish this chain would come to the United States. This place is known for having grass fed, locally sourced meats and vegies and you can for sure tell the difference in taste. The meats are grilled to perfection and the fries are hot and taste great. They do not have traditional sodas but they offer different waters and other drinks that help with the meal. I had the burger with Swiss Cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions, and bacon and it was really tasty! The burgers are huge too. You could for sure share if you wanted to. The location in Geneva is right by the hotel Warwick and across from the main train station. It is really easy to get to and they have both in door and out door seating. I would for sure try this place out. I loved it! read more

My go-to burger place in Geneva. The burgers are large and freshly made, the meat patty thick and juicy. Some burgers have odd combinations, but some are simply spot on, like the Avocado Bacon burger. The highlight however are the frites, which are large, crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. A burger with a drink and fries cost around 20 CHF, which is somewhat reasonable by Swiss standards (this is Geneva, after all), especially considering the large portions. The shop is conveniently located right across from gare Cornavin too, making it a great place to grab a quick bite before catching the train/bus. read more

Hello there, I am a big burger aficionado. I have had all sorts of styles and levels. I have never had a burger that bad. It was also one of the most expensive burgers I have ever had as well, so my expectations were higher than usual. Simply put, it was gross and my family and I could not finish our meals. read more

Considering the "buzz", this place is suprizingly poor! The bun is mostly air and each slice twice a thick as the beef patty meaning a 4 to 1 ratio bread to beef! The beef patty itself was not particularly high quality and felt a bit "lumpy" to me. I took the Yo Ginza (teriyaki sauce and ginger) burger but I could make a better teriyaki sauce myself and the ginger must have simply been rubbed on the burger because I could hardly taste it and definitely couldn't see it. This all came at the princely sum of Fr 14.95 - WOW are you kidding me??? I ate only half and then left to find some delicious sushi just up the street. read more

Strategic location - right opposite Geneva train station, a good way to spend time before the train. Great burgers, delicious, huge and fresh in a nicely presented basket. It takes time for the burgers to arrive, but they're worth it. read more

The fries are great. The burgers just so so. More McDonalds than the gourmet burger it is advertised as.

It's definitely better than burger chains like McDo and Burger King style, it's good but nothing more than that. Inglewood, RoadRunner and Blaqk are definitely better places than Holy Cow, maybe if those 3 places didn't exist, Holy Cow would be my favorite, but those made the standards very high for Geneva! The beer there is really good though! read more

Here is a spot for a decent burger. The fries are really good and there is a whole variety of burgers to choose from. Some are more eclectic than others but overall it seems to work. read more

Still the best fries ever. Sad that the veggie patty is so soft, since the bread is not toasted I'd like some crispy somewhere... Will continue to go however, because OMG THOSE FRIES. And all you can eat sauces. Yumyumyum read more

I can't believe I found a burger joint so close to where I stay when I'm in Geneva! Well, the place is called Holy Cow, and it's attributed to all things beef. But to my surprise, they did have a vegetarian burger. It takes a bit longer to make it, given the rarity of the order I guess. But it's such a delight to eat! I had the veggie zest, which also has an apple and mango sauce. Very unusual from the burgers in Paris, and very tasty! It might not be as fashionable as the burgers in Paris (yes, you read that right), but it gets the job done. The buns are good, but the ice tea could be better. It's pretty large, and almost always has teens hanging around. No sodas like Coke and Pepsi, instead bottled juices, iced tea made by the place itself, and the like. A burger with fries and a drink costs about 22 Swiss Francs. Not cheap, but definitely worth it! And it's just across the train station, so like me, you can have a burger takeaway before catching your train. Holy Cow, you have a customer for life now! read more

Decent burguers, but meat doesn't taste good enough. Fries are ok. Price is cheap. Really like their home made ice tea. Everything else is OK, honestly, they are much better burgers in Geneva. read more

The menu is quiet varied and you can find a good range of burgers that can suit everyone. Service is quiet fast which is great. Food is tasty. The only two negative things are the prices which tend to get high when you are talking about specialty burgers. Also it seems there is only one bathroom which makes it very busy and in demand. read more

Love going to this place so as my little boy. I've tried other burgers in the area I have to say this one is the one. Thank you for your hospitality read more

Pretty good burger place right across from the train station. My burger and fries really hit the spot as I was starving. It's also fairly affordable as far as Geneva goes. read more

The storefront promises 'gourmet burger bar' and the menu certainly is extensive, but these burgers are a huge disappointment, particularly considering the price you're paying (although it is Geneva so that's a moot point). They are large but quantity us not quality. The meat is dry and the bread tasteless. Pretty standard lettuce and sauce, with disappointing other dressings depending on what you order. On top of all this, the ambience makes me feel like I'm in a McDonald's from 1993. Ať least the fries are good and there's unlimited sauce. Average burgers aren't just average, they make me sad. read more

I have heard alot about Holy Cow and now that they have a convenient new location right outside the Geneva train station, I had to stop for lunch. There are two other locations in Lausanne, and a 2nd location in Geneva (Rue de carouge 14). First, I have to note that it is difficult to find a good burger (especially Chicken or veggie burger) in Switzerland. I like that this place unlike McDonalds utilises all fresh local products and takes the time to cook your order vs. utilising a heat lamp to keep your food warm. There are MANY different flavors of burger to choose from - which can be overwhelming upon first entering. The decor is whimsical and light hearted, I love the cartoon cow drawings everywhere (definitely check out the website!). Upon first entering you wait in line, give your order, and then take your number to a table and wait for your food to be delivered. You can also take away if you desire too. Behind the register is a table that you can utilise to grab some pre packaged mustard, or pump some ketchup for yourself. There are also great biodegradable knives here that you can use to cut your burger into bite size pieces. If you stay the seating area is not large enough for the amount of people that are looking for a spot. The volume is also quiet loud. There are a couple of seats outside if it is a nice day, but the volume doesn't decrease. The food was delivered warm and fresh. The pommes frites (fries) were good and so was the burger. However, the bun was nothing special (Rando burger still has my favourite buns). I loved the flavor of the Camembert & Cranberry Chicken burger. I definitely want to try some of their other unique selections. If you read my Rando burger review, you are probably wondering why I would rate this one star less? The food was comparably good, but the atmosphere and ambiance decreased the rating for me. I happen to like a more intimate and quieter setting. This place while whimsical was loud and lacking that extra friendly touch. I liked that at Rando burger I could speak with the owners, and watch my burger getting made. I was missing the cosy friendly atmosphere here. read more

Among the top burger places in Geneva. And everything is Swiss made/grown. Good value student deals too.

Very bad meat. Price wise better than a lot of places around, good bun, okay fries. The meat taste like Salisbury steak from a microwave dinner. read more

fast casual burger conveniently next to main train station. like 'the counter' or larger beef or chicken burgers than mcdonald's. thick fries and a sparkling apple drink, with higher price to match. workers get paid well, local ingredients, so rare to see any cheap fast food. read more

Now I can say I've tried Holy Cow! but I think I'll stick to Inglewood in the future. I didn't get a burger but the chicken sandwich I ordered was good but not for 13 francs. The bun was too large for the amount of meat and there weren't enough toppings since they "sold" you on the toppings. I will say that the fries were good and the service was pretty fast. read more

So this rating is related to other burger places in Europe in general. My first time trying this place and was pleasantly surprised. Price for meal with drink and Frites around 20 CHF. High by USA standards but we are talking Geneva, so not bad. Burger was done completely through, quite a feat for this area based on previous tries. Fries were hot and crispy, something hard to get with larger fries... So good Setting is very casual but adequate. You pay up front and they bring to table. Will be on my regular schedule for my next trip to Geneva. read more

This place has some of the worst hockey puck burgers I have ever had. Dry, over cooked, and tasteless. The burger buns were as bad as you get. And all of this for only $20! To be avoided if you like a good burger and know the difference. read more

Gourmet burgers? Wishful thinking is more like it. The burgers have this aftertaste that is unpleasant. I don't know if it has seeming to do with the sauce or the way the patty is cooked but it is very unfortunate because, otherwise it could have been a nice experience. read more

If I could give a 6th star, I would do it without hesitation. This is the best burger in town, if not in all of Europe. Great for American expats read more

Hands down the best vegetarian burger I have ever had. I had the veggie zest burger and to this day, I still dream of it! Wish canada had such good burgers! read more

A very good hamburger and fries! The ambient is pretty cool and the service just fine and it's not so expensive.

I truly enjoyed my burger and I must say its the best burger I have tasted in Switzerland yet. It was juicy and had flavor unlike the dry and crumbly hockey pucks I have tasted and paid 30 CHF for. The menu is very creative, loads of cute names. I ate the Elvis blue..which was blue cheese and bacon, fantastic. The burger itself is a nice size, the bun is huge and the french fires are perfect, not the thin crispy frites you get around here....these were thick cut, freshly cut American french fries! perfectly salted and the perfect crunch on the outside yet creamy potato on the inside. It was about 20CHF for the "menu" which is the meal , burger, fries and a drink. I will be back there for sure. The staff, super friendly....The girl who took our order was telling me how she is trying to limit herself to one burger per week but they are so good that its been three days this week and shes eaten three burgers. We sat outside since it was a bit hot inside, but the place was clean, people friendly and there was fast service. I ordered, got my ketchup, Heinz of course, only the best, and I was walking to my table and my number was being called already. They bring the food right to you. If you are craving a burger, this is an American quality burger. If the place had air conditioning I would have given it 5 stars. I wish restaurants in Switzerland would get it that we want to eat in comfort and not sweat. read more

Definitely a step or two up from McDonalds, but not a really great burger. Nevertheless, it could still be the best in Geneva.

They are tasty and sound fancy, but 12 francs+ for a burger...
