One person trying to take the orders and prepare the food. She was polite, but didn’t understand Finnish or English well, only some words. Naturally it took really long to get the food. Hamburgers were a big disappointment. Quite cold, very basic taste, you get...better almost everywhere. Don’t recommend this place to anybody, price / quality ratio is really bad. Reputation is great, but it must be based to something which no longer exists.More

Low priced good quality food in expensive location

This excellent little eatery is a gem in the scenic village of Saariselka, northern Finland. All of the restaurants here are so highly priced it was a warm welcome to discover this establishment. There are a few tables to eat inside as well as the...take away option. The service is quick and food freshly prepared while you wait. All of the burgers are delicious. I recommend this place also as it is open all hours.More

Budget Friendly & Highly recommended

Burgers and fries... just do it!!! So good and cheap compared to other restaurants in Finland. But I beleive it was better than most of our expensive meals. So save yourself some money! One person was running it when we were there but they were...quick and efficient, like they have been doing it for years! What we had: - burger with pineapple and cold smoked reindeer - burger with smoked reindeer and fried egg - side of fries (get'em they aren't just your normal fries. Sausage, onion and pickles are with them. Surprise your taste buds!)More

Good option for lunch

Nice little option for some familiar burgers, chips and hotdogs. Was open much earlier than many of the other restaurants in town, so this is a good shout for lunch. Couple of observations: (1) I went for a cheeseburger, and the cheese was quite strong...- something to consider if you are more of a McDonalds connoisseur like myself, and (2) if you ask for a plain burger, it’s best to be really clear that you don’t want any veg, sauces etc.More

Good grill.

Very good and cheap grill on Saariselkä! The owner is nice and polite. Only bad thing i have to say is that the slices of kebab were too thick.

Best food we found in Saariselka

We tried a few places during our stay in Saariselka and this was by far the best! And...the cheapest!! Recommend to anyone. Quite a few things on the menu, so lots of choice...only about 4 small tables inside but you can take out, we took...ours back to the hotel a couple of times and it was still hot when we got back. Defo try if you're in Saariselka!More

Burgar place, veg friendly, Fresh ingredients, good taste

Can get burger at less price as compared to other restaurants however french fries not included in platter. You can buy them separately. Seating place is small. Usually crowded coz of budget food I guess and also good taste. Food seemed fresh. My wife loved...the vegan burger. A good place to go.More

cheap eats in the centre of town.

Good chips, very small space so not for big groups. Chairs were made from tree stumps which added character.

The one and only

This is "the grill" of saariselkä. Middle of everything. Food is decent and not as cheap as it should. Service is nice and you feel welcome. And this is basically only place to get early morning burger after long night...

Great cheaper option!

This is a little place but it's a great option if you need a cheaper alternative to the pricer places in town! We had a great reindeer burger and also the fries and sausages! It's not a place for a sit down 3 course meal...but great for a pre or post tour food stop!More

Good place for a quick bite to eat

Cosy little place. Great for a quick bite to eat. Good choice on menu. Staff friendly and helpful. Eventhough language may be a challenge can always end up with what you want. The sausage and chips is lovely. Food well cooked.
