After being in Paris 8 days and eating delicious meals, we felt we needed something simple like a good old American Burger. I read about this place and it sounded inviting. I guess many of these other reviewers never tasted a good hamburger because this was absolutely the very worst. It tasted like precooked tasteless meat. It was so gross.... More

We had pancakes, eggs, bacon, root beer, the works. Great for us as we do not have access to an American style breakfast in Brussels. Will do it again when we return to Paris.

A great little place! This was recommended to me by a friend who used to live in Paris and so we thought why not! A great way to start the day...........but portions are HUGE!

The place is small and crowded, even in a normal weekday. The food is average, nothing so special about it. We ordered chicken burger, omlette and pancakes, the pancakes were delicious.

We visited on two occasions during our two week stay...both times for breakfast. It was just what my husband needed...eggs, pancakes, bacon and unlimited COFFEE. I had their blueberry pancakes and they were the best. We lucked out timing wise and never had to wait to be seated, but it did fill up fast. Our waitress, was a young American... More

The staff were excellent but the wait can be long, once in there is little or no room to move, has this moved since six years ago? The food was ok, cooked well with oversized buns to give the impression of more on your plate. For a safe bet BIA is ok but I think this might be living in... More

The restaurant made me feel like I was back in the states. It had a classic American diner feel and the staff was really friendly. I spoke to a number of the employees in English and it wasn't an issue. The cheeseburger and fries were really good. Also, I had a Stella which was ice cold and delicious. I noticed... More

Here's why: First, the people speak English! like normal English. noot engleesh like zees. Second, the atmosphere is like a pure diner. You kind... More

Food is ok, just be aware that the atmosphere is more french than americain: cheap and cold. Forget about asking for substitutions unless you want to pay extra. This is no Dennys
