    My vote is for Aussie BBQ too, burgers over the charcoal grill taste amazing, I find I compare every other burger to this one

    I went to Rick's once based on all the recommendations on boards. I decided quite quickly that you NEED to be pissed before you can enjoy it.

    GBK is manky soggy (not juicy, just soft and mushy) burgers with horrible chips.

    I like Rockets tbh, and also like a Big Mac or a Double Whopper with cheese.

    Is BoBo's on Dame St a sit-down waiter service type place or a fastfood 'order at the counter' type?

    In Bobo's on dame st. you're ushered to your seat and a waiter takes your order. The service is quite friendly but it's pricey enough for what you get.

    Oh for there to be a "gourmet" version of McDonald's double cheeseburger. Until then, their 2euro version beats the 8euro plus burgers found elsewhere.

    Totally agree that the burgers from the likes of GBK, Joburger et al are unmanageable. The two "sliders" (new word of the day) in the pic above look divine.

    Porterhouse have a "3 sliders" option on their menu. Small burgers, manageable, and each with different toppings.

    I think an Eddie Rockets burger with no dressing is the best thin burger available. Add a bit of cheese, ketchup and maybe onion.

    Of all the Eddie Rockets Dundrum in Dublin use the nicest buns.

    Yes I have been to them all.

    I thought the Aussie BBQ was terrible! I got the Great White burger and while there was plenty of meat it was bland and tasteless. There was certainly no charcoal grill taste.
    My girlfriend had the BBQ ribs and again terrible. The chips were probably the worst I've had for a while. And to top it off the service was terrible.
    It is really cheap but I'd much rather a McDonalds or else spend a few euros more and get an Eddie Rockets.

    For a no-frills place I've always found the service absolutely impeccable. I'm quite fussy about chips and I'd rank theirs second only to Bear: thin, hot and skin-on is optimal, IMO. It's just a shame they insult them with awful ketchup. But what I'd fault them on most is their bread-to-meat ratio on the burger and pulled pork. There may be loads of meat there but it doesn't feel like it to me because there's so much bread.

    Eddie Rockets is shíte. My reason is consistancy. If they do it well, it's good, but been in there a few times and the burger was the worst shíte ever. Would never recommend the place to anyone.
    Making your own is obviously the best, but when you're in town miles from home, it's not really an option.
    Counter was the nicest I've had, but too much tempetation to get a pile of toppings and make it messy.

    Aussie BBQ is genuinely disgusting. It talks a good game but the reality is dire.


    Good review here.

    So, I was right about rare burgers? I remember a waiter telling me this before. However, it says on joburgers website that they will cook it to your liking, rare, medium etc. so Cool Mo D is correct. I would be keen to head in and have a burger there in that case!!

    Spot on, the been twice and it was woeful both times, had the great white and the pulled pork. Both times the bread wasn't fresh and should've been toasted, the burger was like something you'd get out of a bog standard chipper, bland and tasteless. Also took well over half an hour to get served which at lunchtime is a joke. Avoid.

    Woah, he fairly slates it there! In fairness, a t-bone steak for €16 has to be shíte, or as thick as a rasher

    What's with everyone saying to get a burger in a wrap???

    A burger in a wrap isn't a burger surely, more like a mince kebab.

    not in Dublin but in new York. Best burger i have had there was in le parker meridien hotel. http://www.parkermeridien.com/eat4.php

    Tiny place hidden behind a black curtain behind the reception desk, does simple burger or chips no choices no discussion or you lose your place in (very big) queue.. that's it..and thin burger!

    We need more in Dublin like this....

    A burger is the piece of meat which is usually contained within bread.

    A burger without any bread is still a burger.

    I think what you may be thinking of is a kofta, which is still just the meat part anyway, regardless of what it comes with.

    The buns in JoBurger are just too big and too messy. The wrap keeps all the goodies from slipping out the side and is less... Bready! Less bread means more room for onion rings :D It's not done like a burrito, the wrap is folded into a triangle with a pocket for the burger.

    Frankly it surprised me so many people are saying ricks. I just cant see the quality or anything that is being said on here.


    Is it a drunk taste test that people are having ?

    Aussie Burger is hard to beat.
