Two stars might be a little low for this place, but I was specifically thinking of the word«Meh» when recalling my experience at Mooyah, and 2 stars is a «meh» per Unilocal,so I’m going with that. Mooyah has a wide variety of sauces, toppings, buns, etc. So those could be pretty neat. The problem is that I’m not the kind of consumer that wants to go into a new burger place and«get creative.» I want someone else to be creative for me, and think up all the cool burger ideas before I get there. The food itself was a good quality and the meat cooked properly, but the experience was essentially me walking into an empty restaurant at peak dinner time(the restaurant vacancy raises concerns in my mind, but I know the place is pretty new, so I’ll give it a pass on that) and the cashier staring at me while I struggled to decide how the hell I wanted my burger constructed. If you want to let your right brain go wild and build your dream burger erupting with mushrooms and ranch dressing, then I bet you would give this place 4 – 5 stars. However, I think its pretty«meh-yah» so I’m going with two stars.

I come here all the time and it’s usually good. Not this time. 2 young black kids and an older black dude working that I’ve never seen here before. The guy making my burger was cleaning the stainless steel with a spray cleaner and it was actually misting onto the grill. Next, he comes to take my order wearing the same gloves he was wearing while cleaning, takes my credit card and then begins making my order, all with the same gloves. He proceeds to drop a spatula on the floor and pick it up ANDCONTINUEUSINGIT without so much as wiping it off. As I’m about to say something, he leans over and accidentally smears the mayo off of a burger that he’s making with his sleeve, clearly notices, and continues making the burger. I tried to ask for my money back, but he was ignoring me and had headphones on so I just left. So nasty. So long Mooyah, we had a good run. I feel bad for the Brazilian guy who runs the place, he really works hard to take care of it.

I never mind waiting on food when the food is good, fresh, and customer service is good. But I have never seen a more unprofessional display before. First off the guy at the register was barely speaking loud enough to understand so I had to ask him to repeat himself several times. Secondly, while waiting for our food another customers order had been missing an order of fries. He patiently wait after finishing his meal for the fries. He ended up walking out as the 3 employees paid no attention to him. Then, to top it off two of the employees started arguing behind the counter as there are several adults and children waiting on their food. They were cussing loud enough that the whole joint could easily here. The food is always great here which is why I gave any stars at all, but the employees always make it a very in enjoyable experience.

They dropped the ball hard. Had a complaint about an order, called to discuss the issue and the girl hung up on me. She refused to give the phone to a manager and refused to give me her name. When I spoke with the manager he didn’t offer to help resolve the issue at all. I really wished they had just at least been nice over the phone about the issue.

This was a great burger place. The burgers were juicy and delicious, the fries were amazing, and the staff was friendly. Definitely one of my new favorites!

Slightly pricey for a burger that doesn’t seem to be much different from the other burger joints around town. However — pretty good and the shakes are top notch.

Main complaint about this place is that it’s way overpriced. I had a BOGO burger coupon and got two drinks and fries and it ended up being 20 $ I think I would consider this pretty fair if that was the price fir two burgers but for one! seems a little high. The burgers were just ok. Not the best I have ever had and not the worst. Really they are what you should expect from a fast style place. The fries were on the same level pretty good but nothing great. The only reason I might get this place again is that my coworkers order from it all the time.

MOOYAH! I always come here during Friday to to take a quick bite for dinner, one of my orders was cheeseburger with blew cheese well, that was awesome. I used to seat in the upper corner in order to see cool art on the walls. I also enjoyed grilling some fresh caramelized onions. And a big CREDITTOTHECREW.

I was craving a milkshake and my man was craving a burger, so we ended up at Mooyah for our first time. We found the place on Unilocal,so the mixed reviews made me nervous. Personally, I loved it! So did my boyfriend — even more than me actually. We both ordered the single, which was a fairly thick patty. I had mushrooms, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and mayo on a white bun. It was fantastic! Super juicy, unlike some reviews I had seen. I added chili and cheese to the fries, which was a good decision because without it they were just okay. Now, for the milkshake. Perfection! It more than satisfied my craving. I had cookie dough and Oreo, which had seriously loads of toppings blended in. My boyfriends Hershey chocolate and banana was pretty tasty too. Just the right consistency! Thick, but you could still suck it through your straw.(: I hope my second visit doesn’t disappoint!

This place is alright. I’ve come in a few times since its somewhat close to my work. I have ordered the Turkey burger with tomato and cheese in a lettuce wrap because of my wheat allergy. I felt like it took way too long for me to finally get my order. It was completely underwhelming. The turkey had no flavor. I may go back and try a beef hamburger because they might do that better than a turkey burger. The people who work here are very nice and friendly though.

OK I didn’t read the reviews before coming. I saw the sign guy in the street. That should be clue number 1. My single turkey burger with only Swiss lettuce tomato and bacon & sweet potato fries with a small cup of water was $ 12.59 Really??? Hell no this place is not worthy. Bun crumbled in my hands. Turkey was so dry it was tough to eat. Sweet potatoes while good are available anywhere. Save your money. Burger King is cheaper & better.

It’s usually not that bad and I’m not very picky about anything. This is my third time here and it really got worst each time I come by. Staff is rude and seems to careless about what the customers think. The girl who took my order was impatient and stared blatantly into my purse as I look for my card. Tables are dirty, you basically clean it yourself. Burgers are super greasy. 20 napkins later and it will still be greasy. I had to order another cup of fries because it was too salty. Then someone came up behind me and just dropped the fries onto the table and turned right around. I saw nothing but a forearm. Anyway, I like mooyah just not here.

My friend and I came here for a quick bite to eat for dinner on a week night. The menu is pretty simple. burgers. fries. milkshakes. what else can you ask for? Hehe I got the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. You choose what you want on your burger from the list that they have. so pretty customizable. My burger was suuuuper juicy… like too juicy almost… seemed a little too greasy… but it was still a tasty burger. Definitely didn’t seem/feel/taste healthy lol. So it’s definitely cheat meal appropriate. Sweet potato fries were sweet deliciousness! But honestly, you can’t go wrong with sweet potato fries. Never had bad ones anywhere. I wouldn’t choose to come back… there are many other burger joints that seem a little healthier… but I wouldn’t be strongly against it if my friends wanted to try it.

After reading numerous«Meh-level» reviews from my fellow Denver area Unilocalers– I was hesitant to try MOOYAH out but ended up having a better than average experience for lunch time take away. Taking advantage of a paper coupon for BOGO — I feel the savings just added an extra star to this review. Denver Eats. Burgers. A Lot. Pretty hard to impress the Denver Burger-ati at all. MOOYA has fresh ingredients and a good selection They wrap the burger in foil for take away– which keeps it toasty warm– but also makes the bun very soggy by the time you get around to eating. The prices are on the higher side of comfortable but on par with Larkburger and Smashburger. Would I return? Probably not unless I have a coupon or Unilocal Deal.

It looks like my experience was pretty similar to that of some of the previous reviewers. The fries are really good and come just the way I like them: hand cut, skin on, not frozen, cooked to perfection. And you get a whole bunch. I got a combo(single burger, small fries, small fountain drink for $ 9.59) to go and half of the contents of the bag was fries. I guess their small containers are just too small to hold a small order of fries. Which, of course, is totally fine with me. I liked the fact that my burger was wrapped in foil so it stayed warm on the way home. It came with plenty of lettuce(one piece I actually had to pick off since it was a big, white stem part) and tomatoes that were pretty good despite it being January in Colorado. I also got pickles but did not get the Mooyah sauce(I overheard the cashier telling the customers ahead of me that the sauce is similar to thousand island dressing, of which I am most definitely not a fan). I put ketchup and mustard on the burger at home. First bite: grease shot out of the burger onto my plate. Luckily, the bun didn’t get soggy but I ate the burger pretty fast just in case. I probably should have also ordered a shake also but I was having enough of a cheat meal already. I’d like to try the Oreo and/or the mint chocolate chip. Or maybe the M&M or just plain vanilla. It looks like there are a few tables set up outside during warmer weather. I’ll have to come back for that shake and some patio sunshine. And, of course, an order of fries.

So, originally I really wanted to go here. Then I read some iffy reviews and was less eager. But, now, convenience has won out. I work very close to the location, and it is one of the faster places at which I can grab lunch. Bottom line, I think Mooyah is good, but not great. I do enjoy the fries here. You can get them well-done if you ask. It is only a fifty-cent upgrade to sweet potato fries. The fries here are better than the ones at Smashburger, but not as good as the ones at 5-Guys(in my opinion). I appreciate that you get a choice on the buns(white, wheat, or lettuce), and that they are not a weird, doughy, and overly sweet bun(like a certain other place that I named in the previous sentence). Prices are pretty reasonable. For a little over $ 5 you get a single without cheese. Having it with cheese, or as a double, or as a turkey burger is not that much more expensive. You can get a single combo(with fries and drink) for under $ 10. The toppings here are fairly extensive, and unless you go for cheese, bacon, or avocado, they are all included. The burger comes out somewhat greasy and a bit salty, but is pretty tasty overall. Once I had one that was swimming in grease(I think they did not tilt the spatula at the end of the cooking), but they have generally been fine. The service here is good, and they do a more than decent job keeping the lobby and bathrooms clean. Anyway, I think 3-stars, perhaps 3.5, is appropriate. It certainly is good enough to keep me coming back at regular intervals.

Oh my indulgences. Greasy burgers and yummy fries. I finally get out the of the house and where do I go to a burger joint. Really the fries were very good I thought. The burger itself without the extras was a bit dry. However with the special sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles it was pretty darn tasty. I was very full and could not finish the fries or burger. I still left satisfied. Would I go back? If I needed my fix and I was in the neighborhood

Any new burger place in Denver has a lot of top notch competition for loyal customers and for being known for consistent excellent burgers. I’ve kept an eye on Mooyah Burgers since it’s pretty close to home and it would be nice to have another quick serve burger place to frequent. One evening I was craving a burger and decided to give Mooyah a try. It was pretty close to empty as I walked in with two other people waiting for to go orders. I went up to the counter and placed my order at the register, $ 10 for the Mooyah burger, fries, and soft drink. As I waited for my order it was quite the spectacle as both of the orders ahead of mine were incorrect in some way. One gentleman left the store with the wrong order and it took the crew behind the counter five minutes before they realized he left with the wrong order and they had to remake the other customer’s entire order. I think the young crew working needs some more training on to go orders and ensuring accuracy. Alas, my order was correct and when I got home I started to unpack and enjoy my order. Mooyah does the Five Guys fry thing, and gives you a cup of fries and then dumps in a scoop or two extra. I thought the fries were pretty good, they were fresh, nicely salted, and did not appear to be previously frozen. The burger was subpar in my opinion, the burger itself lacked flavor and needed some seasoning to make it enjoyable. The toppings were average at best, if the burger had better flavor I think the toppings would taste better as well. The bread fell apart after two bites and it made for a very messy evening. Mooyah did not make a good first impression and with so many other options to choose from, I am not likely to return for another lackluster burger.

YES, it is one of the BIG Chains, popular in other states like TEXAS. Coz if I am NOT mistaken this establishment originate from TEXAS. I am torn about this establishment. That time, when we were at the NORTH area, aka Westminster, this establishment is jammed packed to the brim. But when we came here on Friday evening June 27th2014, this establishment is DEADEMPTY. Maybe we went here during the OFFPEAK after the Dinner hours at 19:57hrs ish. Yes, you order at the Counter and they will send your order to where you are seating. That evening, we ordered the following items : * 1 Combo Meal($ 8.49) of Mooyah Burger, White Bread, Jalapenos, Mushroom, Spicy Ranch, Pepper Jack Cheese($ 0.70) and Small Fries * 1 Adult Hot Dog($ 3.59) No cheese and Mustard(Hubs Order) * 1 Combo Meal($ 8.49) with Double Burger options($ 0.70) additional, White Bread, Pepper Jack Cheese($ 0.70), Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles, Relish, Fried Onion, Spicy Ranch and Small Fries(Hubs Order) Our order we opt to have the BIGMOO Shake instead of having Beverages. Hence the run down order for our beverage is as following : BIGMOOSHAKE($ 2.00), No whip with Chocolate and M&M($ 0.75) is added additional to that. Hubs opt for BIGMOO Shake($ 2.00), No whip with Resses PB Cup. Imagine everything and anything does ADDUP for your order in this establishment. We sat at one of the Booth Seatings @ 20:08hrs. We got our food first a few minutes after waiting @ 20:15hrs, since we are the ONLY patrons dining in, and after a few minutes having our Dinner here, came along our order of BIGMOOSHAKE @ 20:21hrs. Hubs said it was ok, but for the pricing for $ 30 Dinner of Burgers, and Fries, and 2 milkshake and a hot dog was just meh for me. Furthermore, the Spicy Ranch Sauce they put on the Bread was«too skimpy» to my liking. The Burger was just meh and let alone the fries. Though the food came out hot, it went COLD too fast for my personal taste bud.(*SADFACE*) The Fries also look so sad and unappetizing.(*SIGH*) Then comes with the BIGMOO Shake. They do not churn or mixed the bites of Hershey’s Chocolate and M&Ms well enough, since MOST of the«CHUNKS» of chocolate pieces were at the bottom of the Milk Shake. So Disappointing.(*DOUBLESIGH*) MOOYAH you can do better but I guess there are other Burger establishments in town which AREWAY Better. Left this establishment @ 20:34hrs. MOOYAH 1390 S.
