Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just walked into 5 guys. Saw it was 8 quid for what looked like a burger king and walked out. Have I made a mistake? I'm away to burger meets bun in any case. Also, anyone got views on gourmet burger kitchen or handmade burger co. Big fan of the handmade burger company, although generally only went if I had a voucher or there was a deal on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Had the Moroccan lamb burger on my only visit to Ad Lib: wasn't impressed. The way they cooked the burger gave the spices a bitter taste, and there was nothing stand-out about the rest of the place. Paid a visit to the Black Sparrow on Charing Cross a while ago: very good burgers, on a two for one deal most of the week. Probably going to return there later this week. A welcome detail in any burger place is the absence of a 'brioche bun', which has absolutely no place in a savoury meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 NYC on Hope Street is one of my favourites. Hotdogs and burgers are 241 Mon-Fri I think. They also do 10 chicken wings for £2 on Tuesdays. I go to the NYC in St Enoch Square quite regularly on my lunch break. The sandwiches are outstanding and very reasonably priced.

Yeah I like it, though it is a tad expensive for burger n chips. Lamb tikka and peppered beef are personal faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent value for money when you get 2 for 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Nick's NYC Deli. I'm disappointed you don't own it. I love the hot dogs from there. Lebowski's is one of my favourite places for burgers (and White Russians). I was disappointed by Broadcast, even though everyone raved on about what kitchen they've got making them. Bread Meats Bread is on another level altogether.

Mr. Brightside Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Anyone been to Jacker de Viande on West Regent Street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was in bread meats bread on Friday, the food was really good. I always tend to go to Ad-Lib for a burger when I'm in Glasgow, so it was a good change of scenery. The only issue with bmb is that it was completely packed out, although this being a Friday, it would have to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Anyone been to Jacker de Viande on West Regent Street? Aye, the decor is a bit weird, they have some decent lunchtime deals tho. Food is much of a muchness in most of these places imo. Meat bar is my favourite purely for their chilli cheese fries which are phenomenal.

invergowrie arab Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The only downer on Bread meats bread is its too small and the service so quick so you always feel like they are trying to get you in and out. Sometimes that's good and sometimes I want a couple of beers and a chat with my tea so I probably prefer burger meats bun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Are there any good burger restaurants outside Edinburgh or Glasgow? Stornoway is probably too much to ask for but Inverness or Aberdeen would be nice. Love a proper steak mince burger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I had been recommended it by a mate who basically hunts out burger places and had previously recommended Bread Meats Bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maintain that a chilli burger with ganja fries is the best meal in Scotland you can get for under a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The Aussie Burger there is one of my favourite feeds: Basically a bacon cheeseburger with the addition of a fried egg, pineapple, an onion ring and of course beetroot. You're a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I would wholeheartedly concur. Although the past twice I've been on the chilli has been slightly disappointing. I'll soldier on again later in the week though. I don't find it's as much fun on the way out mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 tried five guys not to long ago and would have to say that it is on the expensive side but I found it enjoyable and a decent burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone tried that Ed's Diner in the food court in the St. Enoch centre food court? Heard it's decent, but looks expensive, considering it's in an area where there are just fast food outlets like McDonalds/KFC/Burger King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
