    Has anyone had food from this place? A friend has had food from there twice. First experience was good but the second wasn't great.
    I thought they were connected with Box Burger in Bray but following a call to them it seems to be just someone copying their name, website graphics and menu?

    I've had it delivered twice. Got The Mannix the first time and the Butter Bird the second time. Both were gorgeous. The chicken burger was probably one of the nicest chicken burgers i've had and it was huge.

    As far the mannix it was a really good burger. I'd put it up there with the likes of bunsen and 10 times better than any other burger you could get delivered.

    According to the Sunday Indo, it's the same guys who run Pitt Bros BBQ.
    I wouldn't be into burger delivery myself... Don't want it being delayed / going cold etc... and I much prefer the experience of eating out.

    Isn't 5 guys opening up soon?
    'Peak burger' is soon upon us!

    All it needs now is another beef scare :pac:

    Box burger Bray is a different place. From their FB page

    Soo... this new Dublin burger place came to our attention recently. It's not us but we can see how people got that impression...
    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.... what can we say? We're feeling sincerely flattered ��"

    Might give them a try so. I was put off that they were copying the original Box Burger and was afraid the quality wouldn't be as good.
    Still a pretty low business practice though!

    It's five minutes drive from my house. I like eating out too, just not every time.

    do they not have to disclose where the food is cooked / prepared?
    for food hygiene inspections etc...?

    Or just even from a customer perspective.
    I wouldn't get delivery orders from certain places because they look like kips... if I don;t even know where it's prepared / cooked, I mightn't bother.

    I'm sure they do, but to be perfectly honest i have no idea.

    Whenever i hear "secret location" for a fast food company, i think "you don't want to know".

    It's just a kitchen setup, not designed for having people eat there. Nothing wrong with that. It's in Eastpoint Business Park.

    If it's the same guys that run Pitt Bros, I really wouldn't be worried about hygiene standards. They've one of the busiest restaurants in town. They're not shysters.

    I can't wait to try one out. We only live in DC :)

    Hmmm... my spidey sense is tingling... we just need a volunteer to try the 2 locations in Eastpoint serving burgers - Epicenter & Urban Mess - and try a BoxBurger burger and see if there's a resemblance.

    Go on then. I'll take that bullet. Both places look excellent.

    We have a volunteer! It'd probably have to be during the week, Eastpoint is a ghost town at the weekends think the restaurants shut up shop.

    Boxburger looks pretty legit but I know in my own area when i go onto Justeat.ie there are four different take aways all with the same street address. One is italian, one fish and chips, one Indian and one Chinese, all operating from the same address but with separate business names, logos and listings on Justeat. The poor chef must have his head wrecked cooking four different cuisines. No way would I ever order from any of them, they're a jack of all cuisines and a master of none.

    Box Burger is run from The Epicenter Bar in East Point Business Park. Their own burger menu is pretty much exactly the same. I guess they're seizing on a delivery service under a young/hip brand that appeals to the internet generation.

    Does it seem to be a small place? I often check places on street view.

    letseatin locations do various dishes like that, italian, indian, thai, chinese, world. But they really do have lots of dedicated chefs. I thought it was just marketing but I usually collect from my one and you see all these oldish chefs in the back of different nationalities.

    Showing as "Block Burger" on Deliveroo today rather than Box Burger - wonder if there was a complaint from the Bray place. Considering giving it a go

    Epicentre is super busy on Fridays 5-6 as a lot of people go out for 1 or 2 after work (and there's 6000 ppl working in Eastpoint) ... would not be the best time to try to get food.
    Thursday nights they do coin toss where you have a 50-50 chance of getting your next round free or something...

    If you wanted to get a meal in Urban Mess you'd probably need to reserve a table. Not much seating inside.

    So went down to that bar

    > Felt like a total outsider
    > Music wasn't my taste (thought it was quite a personal playlist, turns out it was an iPhone plugged into the system)
    > Staff Friendly
    > Cheapish (4€ pints but only Fosters on offer)
    > Food was great, burgers really nice

    Summary, best to get beers at home and order them in.

    We ordered the on the two for one offer tonight. Two chicken burgers and two cheeseburgers, plus a clatter of sides. Ashamed to say there were only three of us and we savaged the lot. Really very tasty burgers. Too good.
