I thought Aussie BBQ was one of the worst burgers I´ve ever had. And the ribs were awful also....each to their own though I guess

Agreed, thought the food was horrific. It's aptly named as the food tends to be horrific in Australia as well.

Bit out of town, but I had a delicious burger in the Oarsman in Ringsend recently.

There's a really nice Burger in the vanilla pod in Carrickmines.
Handy if herself drags you there shopping!!

Really can't beat five guys for the prices, just hope we don't end up with "Irish portions".

Need a bit of competition for Rockets too in the normal folk stakes. When is it due to open?

I'm amazed at how Eddie rockets still manage to get away with the ****e they serve for the price. I heard that they are in the location search stage though that could be all rumour

Had a good burger in Balfe's (Westbury hotel) at the weekend. Its about €17 but its cooked medium (they wouldn't do rare) and the chips are about as good as you can get anywhere as well. Best burger I've had in Dublin outside McDonalds but I wouldn't compare the two as they are totally different types of burgers.

I'm always disappointed in BK and McD's on the rare occasion I get them. They are thrown together and feckin tiny and I often think if they were actually like the picture in their ads they might be a bit more palatable.

“like the picture in their ads”…the burger scene in falling down comes to mind…

The charcoal grilled burger from the farmer's market in Dun Laoghaire's People's Park is very good, as long as you can stand the cloud of smoke while waiting in line...€5 for the burger

5iver for quality is a small price.

The Glam burger in Rustic Stone is a pretty decent burger - it falls into the category of "restaurant burger" rather "dirty burger"

#pornburger in Cleaver East (The Clarence)

I'm only posting this for information, got a voucher a few months back and had the #Mexican, to be honest, would have been peeved to have paid full whack for it but worth a once-off...though I'm tempted about this months.

Recently had a burger in South William Bar, 5er for a beef/chicken/venison burger with chips between 12 and 1 and only 8 full price outside those hours. Really tasty burger, great chips and they make all ingredients themselves. I think it's my favourite burger after Bunsen.

Uncle_moe

went back to Bunsen and was let down again. They could do with seasoning the meat full stop, their patties are really bland. The cheese is disappears - how much can it cost for some regular american cheese? And then there's the gluey bun modeled on the american style potato roll but poorly executed.
Was going to try wowburger but the setting is far from ideal for eating.
Beeftro is next on the list.

I think it's more to do with the fact it's in a smoking area for a pub

I reckon if you made it yourself and ate it straight away they would be great. They tend to be thrown together, so bits are falling out and then they're wrapped up in paper to keep warm and left for a while, doesn't make for a great burger.
Still, handy option in some circumstances.

Yes and gilded Chanel stick to beat any louts who eat in beer gardens that may interfere with my dining experience.

How are you having your meat cooked?

I dont know what an 'american style potato roll is' but the buns in Bunsen are brioche, as they should be.

But probably the best one in Ireland

I ordered it rare both times. Came out medium rare which is fine and precisely why i asked for rare, no issue with how they are cooked.

They are definitely not brioche (at least not what I consider to be brioche, way to squidgy and the guy who owns the place said himself he "drew inspiration from places like Shake Shack" which serve potato rolls. The bunsen ones are similar, not to my taste as they have an underbaked taste and texture.
Lucinda O Sullivan also didn't care for the buns as she thought "The bread was damp and left thumb-prints".
Just don't rate this place at all even by lowly Irish standards.

The bun is brioche. Ive no idea who Lucinda O Sullivan is, some kind of burger expert?

Which of the US joints do you think is the best? I think Bunsen stands up well to the dirtyburgers in Five Guys, In'n'out & Shake Shack

The buns are based on an Amish potato roll - at least I remember reading that somewhere once. I haven't been in a while, but I don't recollect them being Brioche buns.

See here for a video about their buns

Weird, they had brioche buns last time I was in there. Maybe I was hallucinating

I seriously doubt it. One of their "niche" marketing things, was to ensure they developed a Bun themselves for their burger and using a generic one like everyone else

I liked it. But take any burger and put hot and sour wing sauce on it: you have a H-Bomb.

She writes for the independent. Okay reviews but she got that one spot on.

As for US burgers, I think In-n-Out and Habit are head and shoulders above all the other chains. Five guys is good but i absolutely detest shake shack, terrible buns again and didn't like the balance of flavours in the burgers.

For "better' high end burgers Burger Bar is the best I've tried anywhere.

bunsen is cat compared to the other providers round town. Its perfect if you're drunk walking out of Whelans but thats its only niche . Your mileage may vary of course.
