You know how the stereotype is that people in France are rude and condescending especially toward…read moreAmericans? Based on our recent trip to Paris and to this this restaurant in particular, I would say my experience couldn't be further from the truth. We were greeted warmly (even if you can't speak French be polite and start off with Bon Jour! when you enter any business), the staff helped us to order, and frequently checked up on us to make sure we were doing well. At one point, one of the employees noticed we had a bag of pastries we had picked up on the way and offered to keep them cool in their refrigerator. As for the food, it was fantastic. I'm really picky when it comes to burgers (it's one of my favorite food groups) but these were outstanding and easily better than most I've ever had in the States. Unfortunately, a return visit would be pretty difficult but I wanted others to know how much we enjoyed our visit. Thanks to all the wonderful employees at Big Ferdinand for a memorable visit!

The best burgers (or I should say Hamburgés) in the world. Better than in the US (who would have…read morethought so?? Lol) They are uber tasty. Their fries are heaven. Perfectly cut and cooked. And their ketchup... You'll never want to have Heinz again. It is unctuous and you can actually taste tomatoes. Big pluses: -They have a VERY yummy vegetarian portobello burger. Approved by non vegetarians too! -Their staff is very friendly, funny and welcoming. And fast too. -Nice seating indoor and outdoor - With parking for handicapped in front of the restaurant! Small minus: - No vegan options (yet?) - Prices are a bit high (count 16 euros for a sandwich with fries and drink) but so worth it once in a while. - Wish they had some membership rewards to offset that a little. So glad I have big Fernand nearby.

The service was very friendly for France - overly so, I would say - and I say that in all good humor. In France we don't expect a lot of smiley and attentive service so tourists who visit here may get false expectations for the rest of their trip :-) I had the lamb, a friend had the burger, and his wife had the tartare. Everyone was satisfied and if I am in that part of town again I have a go-to spot.

We ate here two times during my 8 days in Paris. I read about Schwartz's on TripAdvisor but was…read morenot sure where it was. We were wandering around our hotel's area and stumbled upon it. It looked very comfortable, just like a diner in the US. The place was hopping - it is very popular and had lots of seating. Our server was on her second day, back from 7 years in Quebec. She was very nice and made sure we got our big glass of ice with our water. We did not know the portion sizes the first time so we both ordered our own burgers. I got the hot and spicy, which the menu said had peppers on it, and my mom got the avocado cheeseburger. I got mine with just salad on the side, but my mom got half salad and half fries for no extra charge. A tiny thing of cole slaw also came with it. My burger did not have any hot peppers on it but instead some electric red sauce...and it was not very spicy. However, the meat was soooo flavorful and juicy. We ordered the burgers medium because from our experience, the French tend to overcook meat, but this came out a bit rarer than expected. We still enjoyed it more than the previous meat we had eaten. It was truly massive and we could not finish the whole thing. We returned towards the end of the week visit and split a cheeseburger the second time. The staff was once again friendly and efficient. This time we ordered the burger medium-well, and while tasty it was a bit dry. Oh well, it was still good! We also got a side of onion rings which were nothing special. This is a really great atmosphere and there is free wifi (you have to get the password from the staff). Though there were tons of people waiting for a table (and I am talking all times of night - we ate once closer to 7 PM and once closer to 10 PM), but the French never rush a meal. Our server told us to hang out, use the wifi and consider ordering a dessert "in a while." So turning the tables over for people is not a priority - very different philosophy than in the US. This is a fun place to go and if you have kids, they would love it too.
