In my opinion the best burger in Basel. I can recommend the Big Lebowski. The price is a bit high but still acceptable.

We ordered burgers without cheese (allergy!). Unfortunately it came with leftover cheese on it. Instead of making a new one, the chef simply took it off again. The lettuce in both burgers had dark spots. The chef probably likes fries because he kept putting them in his mouth and then touching food without changing his gloves. After the entire team has taken a long smoke break, washing their hands would be a luxury...once and never again!

This place is Super busy - at least the two times we tried coming here for dinner. We were finally able to get a table after some time waiting. The food takes a little while to come out but is tasty (burger to bun ratio a bit off as the bun is much larger). Good food.

01/21/24: been to the Union Diner again. It was super tasty again! For me the best burger in town 👍🏻 Good tasting burger. The drinks were a bit “fancy” for my taste but still good. But it's not a real restaurant but more like McDonald's style. So you have to order your drink and food beforehand, then (if you can't take it with you straight away) you get a "beeper" and when it goes off, the food is ready or ready to be picked up. The service at the checkout was super nice and friendly. The burger I had was totally juicy and good. By the way, when I ordered I was also asked how I would like my patty to be fried - I thought that was very good and it worked.

We tried the King Kong Burger today, unfortunately it wasn't as good as expected. There was no sauce at all, so it was very dry. Would have expected more for 40.- (menu), price-performance ratio was rather poor

Still the best burger for me. However, what was negatively noticeable during the last few visits is that the fries were only kept warm and if necessary. were warmed again. Very annoying! It's not worth it for the price, especially since the portion of fries has been reduced anyway.

The fries are very delicately seasoned with rosemary and salt. Personally, I “only” enjoyed the burger mediocre, but I have to go again to definitely confirm this.

For me the best burger in Basel! A diverse selection of burgers and sauces, with every burger also available vegetarian. I personally don't like the vegan range, but I really like the sauces. The fries are nice and crispy with rosemary and salt (a wonderful taste experience) and the burger tastes even better every time. Highly recommended.

I would have liked to give it 3.5 because it was good. However, nothing extraordinary given the price! And what's more, they made a mistake in the order for my daughter's friend and made her feel guilty by telling her that if they had to replace her, they would have to throw it away: this is unacceptable! They could have at least made a commercial gesture!

Superb little address located parallel to one of the main streets of Basel. The service was quick and the burgers were of high quality. The fries were just as good. 65 CHF for two evenings 72 euros with the exchange rate for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks. The price may come as a surprise to French people used to lower prices, but we like it in Basel. I recommend this restaurant! The sauces are also excellent and the servers are friendly.

The Kingkong Burger is awesome, especially with sweet potato fries. The small plates are a bit annoying because it's difficult to eat with cutlery without throwing something down. The shop is also a bit noisy and not exactly comfortable. More suitable for a bachelorette party than a date.

I love your sweet patatoe fries but today I was more than disappointed, they are all really hard and really dry... My veggie burger was also great because the pattie was strangely pink and was barely fried. I paid 32.- which I like to do for delicious food, but today was quite disappointing.

Today I got the 'Aladdin', the vegan burger of the month: it was dry and flavourless. Even more humus and roasted peppers could not save it. I told the staff and handed them 2/3 of the burger back. Now, I did not expect a refund but they could have at least offered to make it up somehow. Their meat based burgers must be good because my family loves this place. However, their Buffalo Bill used to be great until they stopped having cole slaw, now it's also rather dry. Their Dracula used to be my favourite but now it's mostly mushy and also lost in flavour. I've tried a few of their monthly ones...well I really would like to meet the person making their decisions on their vegan burgers. Have they ever eaten their own vegan burgers as the staff makes them at the Steinen location? I'm not trying to be mean here. It's just frustration speaking, because I really used to like going there... So sorry, this is my very first negative google review.

They had RANCH! and it was pretty dang good/close to the real deal. I ordered the godfather burger which had mozzarella, arugula and was pleasantly surprised. It came as a recommendation from one of the workers. They offer different cooking grades for meat. He also recommended the sweet potato fries. They were delicious and wer seasoned with rosemary. Sauces recommended for my meal were the garlic parmesan and ranch. Both highly recommend, although the garlic parmesan was quite strong compared to the ranch. Just as a fyi for those who might think to combine or alternate eating between them as i did.

Wanted to try the current vegan burger of the month (Aladdin) after taking a break from visiting new shops in the city. The menu generally has choices mostly available all year round and monthly special selection, both vegan and non-vegan, which I find very nice to offer variety. Furthermore, all burgers can be obtained with a vegetable patty as alternative too. The ordering is done via selection of the meal (either burger alone or via menu, although I didn’t see any offer for discount like in Japan), then you get a pager which will beep once your burger is ready. I ordered Aladdin and rosemary fries with ice tea to go due to the temperature. While Aladdin is probably not the best choice to take when it’s hot outside due to how dry and spicy it is, even if mildly, the burger was quite tasty and the fries were great and came with a generous portion. There are many places to sit, and it gives the vibe of an American dinner with the coziness of an European setting. You can then bring back the tray and throw away the trash around the entrance, although the staff does pass around in case anyone doesn’t do this or leaves the trays outside. Overall very kind staff and very nice experience, good to visit to try the new varieties every month and maybe bring a friend or two during the weekend.

I recently visited this restaurant that left me with mixed feelings. The place had a cozy ambiance, and the quality of the meat used in the burgers was excellent. The sandwiches were beautifully presented and undeniably delicious. However, the one downside was the price. The burgers were quite expensive, especially considering that there was no table service. Despite this, I would still recommend giving it a try for the mouthwatering flavors and the overall enjoyable experience.

We visited a sunny day sitting outside. The place is clean and well looked after. The menu is good with many options. Notice that there is no deserts to choose. The Manhattan burger was perfect, meat was medium-- which may be on the rawer side for some. The sweet potatoes were very tasty with spices (rosemary I believe). Union dinner can be very much recommend for a burger meal.

I've been there three times already. The food is delicious, but the place was very dingy. Not a single table was clean and some of them had dishes on them. No soap in the toilet to wash your hands... I think these days you can expect to eat at a cleanly wiped table. The Union Diner in Gundeli is the total opposite. Very clean. I'll just go there.
