Best Burgers in Dublin

Muahahaha

Never had the garlic butter fries in Wow but the chilli fries are delish there.

Which Wow are you going to - there are a few branches now but probably the one in the basement of Marys pub on Wicklow St is the best of all of them for atmosphere, plus you can have a pint with your burger as its connected to the pub.

How is WOW burger??

going there tomorrow so curious also if anyone knows are the garlic butter fires nice or the chilli fries?

Cheers

I was in the one below Marys Bar on Wicklow Street. I had the garlic butter fries, they were very nice (probably more enjoyable than the burger)

The burger itself was ok, not fantastic but it was good. Definitely not as good quality as somewhere like Bunsen

They are always on Groupon or the like 2 for 20. Never paid full price there

The WowBurger fries (chili or garlic) are sensational.

A Bunsen cheeseburger plus WowBurger fries would be hard to beat.

Bunsen trumps any other burger I’ve ever had...better than BoBos, Shake Shack, Five Guys, WowBurger, JoBurger, Eddie Rockets, Burger Joint, or any burger I’ve ever had in a 5 star hotel.

Fries in wow are excellent however imo the burger is not as good as the quality in Bunsen.

Back fromWow had the bacon cheeseburger with most of the toppings with Wow sauce. It was nice, nothing sensational but for the price 6.99 was good, i would go back. Burger not as juicy or tasty as Bunsen, you get 2 thin burgers rather than one big burger but ya was decent.

Also had the Chilli fries, these are basically taco fries and are also good without being exceptional. Not easy to taste the chips on their own with taco on them but they looked the same as Bunsen chips.

So ya another good place to grab a burger. Went to the one on Parnell St and the place is nice as well

How much is five guys? Few of them over here in Manchester £8.45 for a cheese burger + £3 for small chips.

Feck that.

On a side note, what fat content of their mince would be the norm for these burger joints? 10-15%?

18% or more, there are plenty of videos of the places, here and in the US. They show the cooking techniques and most are very similar. It is easy enough to replicate them.

Wow burger to not reveal the cuts they use, but he told you in the video.

20% is optimal.

Gave the chilli fries in Wowburger a try after hearing so much about them and being honest I was disappointed in them. I was expecting more of a kick to them. I enjoyed the burger though especially with the hot sauce.

On the pig's back eatery, Capel st beside the black sheep pub do a great burger. I've tried two, 6oz patty, loadsa onions (cooked) with gouda and the bacon, cheese and ballymaloe, both excellent and their sweet potato fries are savage and a very big serving. Currently have an offer on groupon too.

Having done the rounds, Bunsen is untouchable in my view; it is simply the finest burger I’ve had anywhere in the world.

It's hard argue with that to be honest.

So the fact that they're doing so well that it's hard to get a seat during peak hours is a bad thing for them?

That's ridiculous.

Bunsen hardly need to rely on a lovindublin write up to get punters to eat their burgers. It’s busy cause it’s good, and good value. Imagine that. So suggesting it be struck off a list is just stupid to be honest. Or contrary. One or the other.....

Andrew Beef

They’ve increased the size of the Wexford St one so it’s not so bad now.

Anytime I've been to Ranelagh it's been empty.

That end of Ranelagh is a tough place to make a go of a restaurant. Night market across the road has the best Thai food in Dublin by some margin, but always seems quiet as well.

Only had Bunsen once and after the hotel the girlfriend made about it, I was sadly unimpressed.

I'm a fan of wow burger and Pitt bros.

Has anyone tried the chilli shack in stoneybatter? It's fairly decent.

Only for wings. They were lovely.

Was in London recently and tried Patty and Bun and it hit me again just how far behind our burgers are. The quality in the UK and in the states is so much higher than here. For the most part it's down to badly cooked meat (invariably always overdone). Bunsen is fairly average but maybe still the best of what's available though I haven't tried wow burger.

If you're a fan of Pitt Bros for the barbecue stuff generally, try Bison Bar (a few doors from the Workmans pub) - the OH is from Virginia with a lot of family from the south of the US and even she was absolutely raving about the stuff. So much so she brought her parents there when they were in Dublin... and then they were raving about the stuff! You'd probably want to book ahead if you were going after 5pm or so though, on the weekend particularly.

Going to head in there tomorrow, but that Groupon deal is so bad it's actually funny.

I'll look into it. Myself and the girlfriend are always looking for new places to try.

We're trying "on the pigs back" this weekend as someone here said it's in Groupon.

What's bad about it? Is it a scam? I bought one yesterday and plan to go to the place on Saturday
