This cozy spot on Rue de l'Université has quickly become a local favorite for anyone craving an authentic burger experience without breaking the bank.

Greg & Jerry's menu boasts a variety of hearty burgers, with standout choices including their celebrated Western Bacon burger, a smoky, savory delight layered with crispy bacon, melted cheese, and tangy sauces that capture the spirit of American barbecue. Complement your meal with their golden, crispy frites, a must-have side that adds the perfect salty crunch to every bite.

The dining atmosphere here is casual and unpretentious, characterized by a friendly vibe that’s reflected in the staff's approachable service.
