Cheeseburger @ Maybe Not Bob's

Hello burger lovers,

This short review is about Maybe Not Bob's, a well known restaurant in Clausen, Luxembourg. It has a long-standing tradition in Luxembourg for serving burgers, ribs, chili con carne and big meat plates. I wasn't there in ages and was looking forward to have a nice cheeseburger (+- 12 €).

Evaluation:

After a short wait, G. and I got our burgers. The fries came in a separate bowl which was on our plates, next to some salad, coleslaw, slices of tomato and orange (wtf?). As usual I didn't touch the decoration. The frozen fries were not special in any way, and were too pale. The buns were soft and fluffy, the way I like it (NOT!!). And yet again I recommend to use homemade bread instead of the standard ones you can buy in every corner shop. The meat was very dry, to well cooked and had no particular taste. I suggest salt and pepper during preparation. The burger came with no sauce, I had to put ketchup on it myself. Without being great, the nicely melted cheese was the highlight of this burger. What a bummer!

Dear people of Maybe Not Bob's, once upon a time you were a great restaurant, with great food. Your place was something special and loved by many, please go back to be that place. Lately I heard so many bad reviews about your restaurant, we the people are disappointed and just miss the old Maybe's.

5.86 is the weighted rating

  1. Must agree with you on this one, MNB is just a shadow of once the best place to have a burger in the city... went there just recently and had a great disapointment... last time.

  2. My bf and i hadn't been in over 4 years, but when we heard there was a new chef at the restaurant whose made some noticeable changes, we very wearily visited and have since revised our opinion of this establishment. Def worth a revisit for your burger quest, sit at the bar if you want better service. Thankfully, there wasn't any unnecessary garnish. Coleslaw was ok and they sent out extra sauce when we asked :)

    Good luck on your quest!

  3. Up until some time ago i would have agreed with this review , but over the last few months , since the new chef arrived, i can only recommend to go and check it out for yourselves , e.g. i had a bbq (actually fried) chicken burger today which was to die for.
    Proper buns, fresh onions, salad , coleslaw is still not that great but better than it used to be.
    Fries were good today , but are not always perfect.
    New staff ,not that i ever had a prob with the old one.
    All together, looooots of improvement well worth giving them a second chance
