kinda funny how even a thread about burgers can’t happen without some aggression and a little trolling…and has hitler been mentioned in this one yet? about time for that, too…

When they get to accusations of "pontificating" that's when you know it's time to unfollow the thread.

Mod: Folks, more talk about burgers and less worrying about differences of opinion, which are inevitable. Each to their own tastes... Enjoy.

has anyone here ever had one of the heart attack grill’s burgers? any good? not in dublin obviously…

Had one last year. worst burger I've ever tasted, and yes I've had McDonald's in America.

The whole thing was just the novelty of being dressed in a hospital gown, being served by nurses and getting jelly shots in syringes.

In-n-out on the other hand are the pinnacle, bunsen is the only place that comes close in Dublin but they're still a bit off.

I really don't get the fanfare for bunsen at all.

Found myself vastly underwhelmed by the burger I got.

For me it's the counter all the way although I've yet to try wowburger.

do you like lots of different stuff on your burger? bunsen bit overhyped but people like it as its the best simple burger

don't think simple is fair, it's good quality ingredients no insane ingredients (what i mean by that are like tobacco onions, chilli mince, jalapeños etc.) and most importantly it fits in your hand and mouth without creating spillage.

Steve Jobs once said "If you see a stylus with a phone, they've blown it" I think the same with a burger "If you see a skewer holding it together, they've blown it" many places in Dublin just wedge in all sorts of ingredients in between two buns and bobs your teapot.

This thread is gone a bit repetitive.

Maybe this means I should open a new burger place.

I think I'll go for a bunsen/wowburger/jo'burger/counter twist with a dab of some foreign burgers thrown in for good measure (foreign burgers obviously better than ours). "Bwownter'Burger"

Definitely no bobo's though!

as a newcomer to the thread here's my observation.

there's maybe what 200 places in dublin that do burgers (hell even if it's 300). there are 430 odd posts here, there's about 10 places that are named that are actually any good and know what they're doing. It's inevitable that this thread is going to get repetitive.

Food in based solely on opinions, and like assholes everyone's got one. sit back, relax and everything will be alright :pac:

we won't go there; we don't need another mod warning especially when talking about food

anyone prefer the counter for number 1?
Id say bunsen is second

trellheim · 28-08-2015 2:23pm

I have tried the counter. Excellent service before I start with the bad news. Burger is woefully bad and is very very expensive. Counter is about putting tons of stuff on your burger - but face it folks if the plain burger doesn't measure up what is the point.

Fries = exact same as McDonalds fries ... you have to wonder if its the same supplier. and for 2.50 they can fk right off.

It pains me to say this but even Bunsen is better.

Honourable mention : tried Black Sheep last week and pleasantly surprised at their burger ... not going to win prizes but a good journeyman experience.

A worthy mention has to go to Soma Burger in liffey valley shopping centre.

It may not be the best but in terms if value for money and 5aste it's top notch imo. In a food court stuffed with McDonald's , Burger King, KFC etc it's hand down the best imo.
