Brown Bag Burger Prague 6, Czech Republic

a new addition to the Prague Burger scene Brown Bag Burger @ Československé armády 30 in Dejvicka Prague 6 (no website yet) , presents a simple and burger focused menu with some Hot dog specialities and a nice mix style of fries. Recently opened up the atmosphere is clean, convenient and even though it feels like fast food decor, the atmosphere and wonderful service wants you to stay longer.
The burger menu goes from the simple classic cheese burger to then the bbq burger, blue cheese and more, each with a unique name and in my opinion a well thought mix of ingredients to supplement the name and taste. I went with the BBQ Burger and curly fries. The fresh beef was perfectly cooked enough moisture and a tinge of red to bring out that beef flavor. Served with a generous portion of caramelized onions, bacon, with lettuce and tomato. All the condiments and ingredients were fresh and just added at the right time not to make the lettuce and tomato soggy. I think the nice surprise was the bun did not fall apart, as is the case unfortunately in many Czech Burger places, and the size was generous but not obnoxious, as some places do to compensate for the lack of taste.

 I think the one complaint I have is the caramelized onions and special BBQ sauce almost overwhelmed the total beef flavor, dominating the to much, a little toned down would I think have made it near to perfect.

The curly fries were outstanding, and the place also sports a wonderful selection of  less renowned Czech local beers, especially the Utenec Brewery stands out. The service was friendly, efficient and warm, the owner makes a point of connect with all patrons, and it has a very laid back atmosphere. Take out is an option, and if you like hot dogs a nice Chili dog is on the offering which seems to get nice reviews from the folks I was with.
Definitely one of the better burger places for Prague, the combination of atmosphere, beer selection, location and service Restless Burger gives it an 8. Nice on Brown Bag Burger.
