Pop's place

Top-tier burger and a great vibe in the heart of Ljubljana. I came for the meat and stayed for the atmosphere. I ordered The Jack Ryan – the dry-aged beef was perfectly executed, juicy, and full of flavor. The combination of crispy onion rings and jalapeños provides a great kick without being overwhelming. A few key takeaways: • The Beer: Excellent craft selection. The Bevog Tak (Pale Ale) was a precise choice – very balanced and paired naturally with the meal. • The Vibe: Vibrant, young, and informal. Don't be put off by the peanut shells on the floor; it’s part of the signature "dive bar" charm and adds to the laid-back experience. • Service & Value: I paid €22 (including tip) for a premium burger and a pint. Fantastic value for money (VFM) compared to other European capitals. Service was fast and efficient even during the rush. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality food without the unnecessary fuss.

Loved this place! I tried the California Classic beef burger and it was amazing — super juicy patty, soft bun, and really tasty sauce. The fries with Parmesan and herbs were crispy and full of flavor. The location is perfect, right in the center of Ljubljana, and the outdoor seating has a great vibe. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Totally recommend this spot if you’re craving a good burger! 🍔🍟

I wait all year to get the apple strudel drink! They only have it after 1 December. I came 2 years ago excited to have one mid October and they said they didn’t do them till December. It’s fantastic. Stop here for one, stay here for 4. Additionally we also got burgers and fries. They were delicious and very large portions. Burgers were super juicy and tasty. Our fries were perfectly cooked: nice and crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. The fry cups are magnetically attached to the boards you’re eating on which is brilliant. Our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful.

Brilliant all around!!! This restaurant is a must go if you’re either visiting or lived here for years and never been. The prices are very fair and the potions are pretty much perfect for how much you pay. The basque cheesecake is also a must. Our waiter was also amazing, definitely would come again and absolutely nothing negative to say.

Fabulous burgers and salads, and the fish & chips were great too. On top of that, a fantastic selection of all kinds of craft beers. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. The location right by the water is absolutely beautiful. Honestly, nothing to complain about — and that’s saying something, coming from Germans! 😉

Best burger I had since Chicago burger. Impressive natural ingredients including beef and grilled onion. Service was impeccable bringing extra mayos, ketchup, and hot sauce. Although it was not that cold, they had all outdoor heaters on. Along the river and next to street walking, the outdoor seating was perfect for a fall lunch burger with beer. My wife had a smash burger and love it also.

Jack Ryan Burger is the best! And is known for the best burgers in the world (my opinion and some other friends of mine). Been here about 3x and loved it. Critique: -It does get busy so I understand when a waiter forgets an order for the customer but when I ask for the order again, it'd be nice not to forget it 2x or 3x and waiting for 15+ min. -Atmosphere could work a bit, I understand that the capital of Slovenia is packed in. I wish there was a possibility for inside seating, especially during the hottest times in summer and or other customers smoking around you and you cannot enjoy the food or the setting. Other than those I highly recommend every one to drive, fly, or walk to Pops because it is worth every penny!

Set alongside the Ljubljanica River, Pop’s Place offers outdoor tables and a welcoming casual vibe. We actually visited the place twice during our short stay in Ljubljana! We ordered spare ribs and a beefburger. The spare ribs were smoky and tender. They were neither too sweet or too heavy (extra sauce was on the side). Fries were ordered extra as a side. The beefburger was served in a fresh brioche bun and it was juicy and flavorful. The service was warm and welcoming. The waiters spoke excellent English, and the waiter on our 2nd visit had a great sense of humour! He made us laugh a lot! Highly recommended for BBQ lovers, who enjoy friendly service.
