I had to take-out one of the US-Style Bacon 5 Cheese-burgers, the Fried and Battered Pickles, and the Sweet Potato Fries, and two of the house bottled beers.
Good things – the business is open very late; a tourist who screws up dinner times can still get a take-out at 23:15. The floor staff were polite and helpful, by the standards of Bucharest. The restaurant interior is trying to do something a bit unique, and I can’t fault them for that, even if it’s not to my taste. The side of battered pickles was pretty tasty, and if made with a lighter batter, could be even better. The additional sauce in the take-out bag was a nice touch.
Bad things – My food was completely cold after just a 4 minute walk back to my hotel. It was a hot night, so the weather couldn’t have been a factor in this. The beef patty was okay, but the bacon wasn’t crispy, the lettuce was wilted, and the bun was just nothing special (a brioche bun would have been better). The final product I received didn’t look much like the pictures on the website.
Coming in at around 140 LEI, relative to other meals I’ve had in Bucharest during my stay, this take-out was very expensive. I ate in 15 restaurants during my trip, including the two highest recommended restaurants, and the latter two were 35 – 50 LEI more expensive, for a two course meal, and the same number of beers (two). The quality of these meals was much higher than Burgr Factory, but in a similar price range. The house beer also wasn’t great, pretty neutral in flavour.
