"I don’t mean to be a jerk about this. We Americans are already in enough trouble around the world. I don’t mean to make things worse. I’m just making an observation: Americans probably won’t be happy eating at Les Burgers De Papa because they will...expect a US-style burger. Or at least I wasn’t happy. I found the burger to be tasteless and dry. The bun, in this land of Bakery Heaven, was terrible. The size of the burger was way too small for the bun. Because the bun had nothing going for it, I just tore the excess off and left it on the tray. I felt there was no excuse for a bad bun in France. I asked for fried onions and mushrooms. There was a sprinkle of French-fried onion straws, broken up. They tasted like the canned ones our mothers put on top of green-bean casseroles for Thanksgiving dinner. The few mushrooms had not been sautéed. They looked dry, and the serving was paltry. I agree with other reviews that said to stay away from the fries. They were obviously taken frozen out of a bag. They were greasy and tasteless. Let’s look at the other side of the coin, to be fair. Les Burgers earned a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor. While I was eating, a steady stream of customers came in the door for takeout burgers. If I’m not mistaken, I think a bag went out the door for delivery. This is why I’m saying this is a restaurant that is excellent in France but mediocre at best in the US. The young woman behind the counter was delightful and helpful. I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if I took her to a great burger place in the US, where the juice runs down your arms, the burgers are big and fill a tasty bun that has seeds on top, and the meat has flavor...where the fries are freshly cut from real potatoes, like at Five Guys, and the toppings are generous and flavorful. She might hate it. I don’t know. The point is, when Americans are in France and crave a burger, they’d do better to stanch their craving and wait till they get home. France has incredibly great food. Enjoy it here and now."
