Absolutely fantastic place. A place to try, if you enjoy a gold nicely done burger. 6 stars if that would be even possible.

Découvert hier et nous nous sommes régalés en plus d'être bien accueillis. Lieu très propre. Les burgers sont non seulement originaux mais aussi délicieux, copieux et fait avec des produits de qualité. Coup de cœur sur la sauce fromagère et les frites. J'ai déjà hâte de revenir.

Superb burgers! One of the best I've had and the frites soufflé were also amazing! We were just looking for a casual place for a quick lunch and it ended up being one of the best burgers we ever ate :) friendly service too and well priced. I had a chicken burger but my partner had the Savoyard (which is with beef) which was also cooked perfect and pink :)

Our experience at ROD'S Coffee was EXCELLENT. The staff helped our large group of 12, made it super easy for us to order and explained everything in perfect English for us, with an awesome attitude. The kids were able to get what they wanted including a vegetarian option. The adults all enjoyed the burgers and the brioche buns were devine. I recommend the homemade potato's if you have the choice as they were amazing! We were so impressed with the service here, and the beers were great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A+++

Decorated with American cowboy ephemera and huge cigar store style Indians, the burgers and fries in this fast food shop were actually quite good, though the young locals stared at us for not eating the burger with a knife and fork as they did. C'mon, if you want to eat American food, eat it like an American! And serve more ketchup with the fries, for goodness sake, just like in America. (Don't complain - I love French food, and eat their cuisine like they do in France. But if you want to pretend to be American, act like it.)

There aren't a lot of burger restaurants where you can eat as well as here. In addition, the service and advice is very friendly and competent with a lot of passion! Thank you very much
