I quite like Bobo 's burgers. I tried Bunsen recently and was really, really disappointed

Not surprising if you like Bobos.

I tried Bunsen at the weekend, it was ok I thought, I didn't really like the bun, everything else was nice
The thing the I really didn't like was the table service, it just dosent fit, it's still only a burger and chips,
I love the pitt bros method where you decide what you want then pay and then leave when you want,
Sitting waiting for a bill to be brought to the table was a bit weird after a burger,

Quality of Bunsen for the price is something I think needs to be mentioned too - certainly vs the likes of Eddie Rockets.

The burger in Ugly Ducking, George's Arcade/Epicurean Food Hall is marvellous.
Simple, but with mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, cheese, and a giant pile of chips for a tenner.

How much?

Eddies give you a classic burger, fries and drink for just under a tenner.

Barcelona has ruined my Bunsen experience. Now they just taste dry.

Bobos is basically like the burgers my mother used to make, not in a good way, bit of mince and onion into the pan.

What way do you ask for the burgers to be done?
I ask medium, and the juiciness is gorgeous!

Medium or Medium rare. The ones in barca didn't even come with Ketchup and were pissing out juicy goodness.

Can't agree more, it really is a quality burger with a giant pile of chips. You really can't get better value for money for a tenner.

I like the burgers from Wings on O'Connell St. Good value too.

About €12 for the equivalent, which is a far far superior offering to ER's.

nope.
You go in and if there's no free tables (highly likely if peak time!) they take you're name and number and will text you once your table is ready.
They'll also send you a link to let you know where in the queue you are.
They may take bookings for larger numbers though.

They should use that as their advertising slogan :pac:

finally managed to check out the meat wagon place in smithfield…not bad at all, yet also a tad bland, sort of like a good home-made burger, very few options…good fries…

You simply cannot compare Eddie Rockets to Bunsen.

Save up your pennies and rob a granny if you need to, but spend the extra fiver to go to bunsen ffs!

I got the cheeseburger in Luna under Super Miss Sue on Drury street.
Best burger I've had in ages. Not cheap though.

They're actually fairly similar pricewise. Not so much quality wise. :pac:

Had a double cheese last night in the Temple Bar one; no difference between the branches. Still amazing.

I don't think Bunsen is that much if any dearer realistically...

That said, I was surprised by just how rare a medium-rare in Bunsen was - will have to ask for it to be near nuked from orbit next time!

noodler

Had my first bunsen experience two weeks ago.

It was good, a little better than the Eddies Classic (although I like the sauce in that burger).

Maybe, I would notice a larger difference if I tried a medium rare burger.

18 quid for a burger made from steak trimmings, chips included, but still :eek:

This place. They dont have a website so link to their facebook.
In Coolmine Ind Estate, and its more takeaway but look at the picture. Biggest I've ever had. and gorgeous too (obviously that's only 1/2 of it)

I couldn't go back to eating Eddie Rocket burgers having tried a Bunsen.

I sometimes wonder if the two Eddies I go to are somehow misrepresenting the quality of the franchise as a whole!

Taboola

I tried the new 'Rockets' down by the IFSC but didn't go for a burger. I just couldn't do it. Chips were nice, though.

cson

Anyone try the pornburgers from Cleaver East in Temple Bar yet?

Graboned a voucher and looking fwd to it.

Oscars Christchurch does a great double 5oz with bavon cheese red onion marmalade and nice chips for 13. Very nice indeed!

Wurzelbert

had a few cheeseburgers at the new 'rockets' down by the ifsc and sort of liked them initially…good fries and all in all a nice addition to the area…
also had a cheeseburger at pitt bros recently and thought it was okay, yet i think i liked the bunsen one better…between bunsen, the meat wagon and pitt bros i would so far probably go for the bunsen burger as the best with the meat wagon one a close second…
so far, all in all, i still think the counter makes the best burgers in town…going to try bobo's, super miss sue and the bison bar next…

Its a pity all you knowledgeable Burger posters, didn't give the address / location of these Burger-Eateries. It would be v.helpful.

If only there was some sort of search engine website where you could look them up yourself :rolleyes:

I had bunsen a few weeks after they opened.

I havent been back, the burger was nothing to write home about, they patty did not stay together in fact it fell apart. And i ended up eating the rest with my hands in bits.

I honestly dont get the love from what i experienced there ???

I actually love the way the meat falls apart, especially if it's cooked medium.
It's so damn juicy and tender, there's no way it's going to stay together.

If anything, the meat used is probably too good :P

I had one the other week and it was the only time I was ever compelled to post a pic of my food to Facebook. That's a practice I normally don't care for but THE WORLD NEEDED TO KNOW.

Wurzelbert

had a burger at the black sheep (capel street) recently and quite liked it...a tad much of the green stuff maybe, but all in all a nice and juicy burger...

George White

Anyone know when Five Guys is opening up, or where?

I'm sure it's been mentioned but I'm not going back through the whole thread but The Counter on Suffolk Street is the best I've ever had... And I've had a lot.

Never heard of this place and it's just down the road from me :pac:

I must check it out. Is it take away only?

No, they have seating too. In fact they have some menu items that are seating only.

Does anyone know how long you typically have to wait in Bunsen on a Friday night?
