Walked in here as they opened to order a quick lunch. The menu only has a few items on, which I like.

The lady behind the counter was friendly but could not accommodate my gluten intolerance. I understand that not all restaurants have gluten-free buns, but she said they don't serve their burgers without buns either. Then offered me onion rings, which lead me to believe she doesn't really understand dietary restrictions.

Which left me with only chips to eat. I was taken back by how unwilling they were to accommodate me and even prepared to lose a sale. Still trying to figure out whether this relentless pursuit of branding is a good or bad thing.

After this I heard the owner speak to her about our engagement but neither him nor her came to speak to me again or offer me a potential meal.

My wife had a burger which she enjoyed a lot, however the "BBQ dusted" chips were rather average. My large portion of chips had a lot of very small over fried chips in too.

All things considered, the food was good. But no fireworks. I expected more.

A fresh new burger joint. In my mind one of the top 5 burgers in Stellenbosch. A fresh bun with a great beef Patti, meat, cheese and you have an amazingly tasting burger. I will be back. This is also a pet friendly restaurant.

What a gem of a find! The older you get, the more you move away from quantity and towards quality. Well the De Vrije Burger covers both, and in heaps. The burgers were just the right size, super juicy and lots of flavour. Will definitely be making a trip to Stellenbosch for this treat.

The expectations were high and we were not disappointed! Fantastic burger all-round. Chips were great and so too the complimentary ice cream. Highly recommended!

One of the best burger places in Stellenbosch central!! Super delicious and crunch fries ???? and you also get a creamy vanilla ice cream (on the house). Definitely worth a try

Been wanting to go here for a while, and the burger and tjips was worth it. Don't expect fast food prices, so see this as a outing (R125 for the burger combo). You can also grab a beer which is a nice extra, but quite on the expensive side for a bottle (R40), even though its Barton Basson's own beer, rather give me a pint for that price. Would like more standard seating on the inside, especially on a cold winter day. Can't wait to go back to grab my free ice cream, free one with every burger.
