Peggy Sue´s

Peggy Sue's is, without a doubt, my favorite hamburgers place in Madrid. It is a small place is Amaniel street, subway Plaza de España or Noviciado, decorated with an American style of the fifties.

The menu is not very extensive, but the hamburgers are made with top quality meat, one of the best I have tasted in Madrid. They have specialties: the Peggy Sue, the Mary Lou and the Aretha Franklin, to which you can add some extra ingredients. If you like sandwiches better, in Peggy Sue's you have different options: the chicken sandwich, vegetables, salmon baguette...

They have delicious chicken fingers, fries or onion rings in the purest American style as starters. Desserts are another good point: brownie, NY cheesecake and cinnamon rolls.

On my way to a concert in the Siroco concert hall, I decided to go to the American hamburger place. I wanted to be inspired by the childish American spirit, and Peggy Sue's suggest the teenager decade of the 50s and of the fast food restaurants. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, illuminated and full of music, everything fits in.

The food is another point: you cannot put it in the same bag as fast food restaurants, the quality is definitely higher, but it misses some direction. A very normal Caesar salad, some onion fingers coated in an endless breadcrumbs but very smooth and tender from the inside. The vegetable sandwich is somewhat different but I would not recommend it.

I went to Peggy Sue's and it is awesome, the decoration rocks. They serve the food well and the drinks are fresh. I went to the one in Eguilaz street and the dessert was very tasty. I can't complain about anything!
