The best burgers/sandwiches in Dublin?

CyberGhost

Tried,

McDonalds, I think I tried Burger king before, tried Subway once(Italian BMT) and I've tried doner kebab(I don't know if doner kebabs can be counted as burgers or sandwiches but I liked them the most).


That's pretty much all I've tried. So do you guys know any other places for some nice burgers(can you recommend any?)? I don't know if there is "In 'n' Out" in Dublin, is there?

Chinafoot

Rick's Burgers on Dame Street. So good. Proper homemade burgers.

You probbaly would have been better posting in the Dublin forum btw.

Preset No.3

+1 for Ricks.

Jo Burger for burgers. In 'n' Out isn't in ireland unfortunately, great burgers

CyberGhost

Thanks guys, I'll give Rick and Jo a visit.

Yeah another vote for Jo Burger in Rathmines, fantastic food! Quite different too.

There's also Gourmet Burger too in Ballsbridge which is nice and Dún Laoghaire though I haven't been to that one myself.

yoyo

Bobos on wexford Street is good,

I found that the meat doesn't have enough fat content to be a good burger, and the chips are rotten, taste like metal. I also think it's a bit stingy that they stick a thing of paper at the bottom of the pail of chips to make you think the portion is bigger than it is.

I agree wholeheartedly with this list.

I think we should get married - you can be my burger queen!

^ what he said! "the real gourmet buger co" in Ballsbridg & Dun Laoire - I've tried both - I love my burgers and this place is the best going. The best burger they have has got to be the "lamb jaipur". A spiced lamb burger *drooooooool*

Also in the temple bar market square on the weekends, there is a meat stall/butcher that has a grill beside it doing lovely lamb burgers on saturday mornings.. worth a visit

The Porterhouse just off Grafton street does some good burgers

monkeyfudge

There's a fairly new place on Talbot Street called Garibaldi's that does fantastic burgers.

Sort of like what Rick's used to be like... but I find Rick's isn't as good as it used to be.

I find that too. Still go in there the odd time but they're not quite up to the same standard as they were before.

Also they got rid of that guy on the mic who would call out your order number. I liked him!

Ricks is just a pile of unshaped mince served in uncomfortable, often messy surroundings. The food in Jo'Burger is great but the music is too loud and the bench type seating can be a bit cramped. BoBo's is in a building completely unsuitable for a sit-down restaurant; there's not even enough room on the table for your chips so they come in buckets which you hang from the side. The food is mediocre at best and the whole thing with large containers of Saxa etc is just contrived and stupid.

OutlawPete

For me it would be ..

• GBK (any of them)
• BoBo's
• The Woolshed

The other night my eyes nearly jumped out of my head when, going by BoBo's in the back of a Taxi, I could see that they were still open and serving .. at 4am!

I remember so many times when I'd strolled up at 11pm and they'd have the closed sign up and just shrug and mouth we're closed.

I haven't tried it but two of my mates have been making my mouth water talking about that chicken place in Fairview, hillbillys I think it's called,must give them a lash.

Found the burgers and the chips to be very dry on the couple of times I was in.

Some of the best burgers I've got were from stalls at farmers markets, esp. the food market in Temple Bar on Saturdays. (I know it's not a burger but the roast pork rolls there are savage!)

AhHA! Was racking my brain to remember the name, all I was getting was 'the cow place' :rolleyes::)

My favourite at the moment is The Counter in Dundrum shopping centre. basically a build your own burger type menu. It's great. Get the 1lb burger with Monterey cheese, Bacon, Egg, Lettuce and Tomato with pepper sauce.


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........................:p

Twee.

Another vote for Jo'Burger! Lamb Dobson and sweet potato fries. Play Scrabble while you're waiting.

BloatedPope

As for sandwiches I recommend the Pig & Heifer across from Connolly Station

Quint

Ricks are nice, but for what you get, it's an absolute rip off. I prefer their style burger than some places that give you a lump of mince almost in the shape of a ball instead of a flat patty.

Went to Hillbillys in Fairview after people raving about it. KFC is 20 times better. In fact, most chippers are better, so don't get your hopes up:(

GBK's are doing a great offer at the moment of any of there burgers before 5pm for €5 .. got two today

Kintarō Hattori

Best I've tried in town was BoBo's. Macari in Inchicore do a fantastic burger for a takeaway.

I've never understood people recommending Ricks. I've tried it on and off over the years and never had a great burger. It's always been on the same level as an average take away burger......... just that it costs more.

They have a big sign that says 'best burgers' or something and 'homemade' sign also. I think people do be so pi**ed when they eat that they next day they just remember the signs and say 'Rick's do great burgers'.

I've eaten there and they are crap.

Zaytoon is about the best that's open late - although, BoBo's was open late last week. GBK for €5 a burger is great value though. Hope they make this offer a permanant one.

Masada

The Gourmet burger place in the pavilion, Swords. Lovely burgers with interesting toppings, the staff can be quite annoying though.

As for sambo's, theres a sambo shop called something like "del Suiz" at the corner of Mt Joy street and Bleesington street that make fresh GI bread sambo's (and many other breads) every day. I get the Salami, spicy chicken, pickles and stuffing on GI., its heaven in a paper wrapper.

That's one of the GBK's ..

Aard

Tribeca in Ranelagh do a great burger for between €10 and €12.50 - you also get decent chips and a little salad with that. Better than any of the other burger places.


Although for value, GBK for €5 before 5pm wins hands down.

meglome

Liked Bobo's but it was always closed when I fell out of Whelans. Rick's but I'm usually drunk so it might be terrible. Chicken Shish in Zaytoon, not a burger but good eatin' (and let's not forget Charlies 2 in TB as well). Refused to go into the GBK as it was a rip-off but heard about the special offers so I'll be in.

Sambos I mostly eat in The Bakery up by the Turks Head in Temple Bar.

Was in that Macaris last week, they do a good snack box too. Not the usual dried out chicken you normally get. Have to try their burgers

Quint

OK, reviving this thread after more burger disappointment.

After having burgers in about 100 places in dublin over the years, I think I can safely say I've NEVER had a decent burger in dublin. The most simple of foods, but no one can do it right. Even Gourmet Burger aren't great. Forget about eddie rockets. I should open a burger place, do 1 item, a dressed burger and make a fortune. A simple big al burger (1/4 or 1/3 pounder), flame grilled, fresh bun and decent dressing.

df1985

mmmmm burgers.......

captain americas does lovely burgers,

joels on the naas road do lovely huge ones too.

gbk are reliable enough for a good one.that 5euro offer is very good!

What? Big Al burgers? Do you know what MRM is?

Go to you butcher, point at a steak, ask him to mince it, go home, make it yourself.

Even I, someone with all the culinary skills of a anorexic quadriplegic, can manage to cook a proper mince-meat burger.

+1 from me. A brilliant idea, Im amazed it took so long for someone to do something about it.

po0k

I'm amazed we didn't have our order taken after waiting 25minutes, and so left.

Aard

Word on the street is that Eddie Rockets in Donnybrook are turning into a The Counter. They're owned by the same company, and given the relatively solubrious location, it makes sense.

Mr Lahey

Wimpy burger in rathnew do a pretty tasty burger. I've always driven by
thinking that place looks like a sh*thole but i was leppin with the hunger today and was quite surprised,would recommend the double decker.
However the best burger in the country bar none is the classic beef with cheese in the porterhouse north near phibsboro. Holy christ it is a fantastic burger. Washed down with a freezing cold budvar. It will not be beaten.

The Counter is sooooooo good + the chips + milkshakes are unbelievable!

Got a delicious burger in the Bull and Castle! They even recommend what beer will go best with it Burger and a pint of Erdinger Weiss. True love!

Creamy Goodness

crunch cafe on georges street does a quite tasty sandwich. and are reasonably priced for what you get.

Bump.

Is that the one attached to a garage just a little off the motorway? I'll agree if it is. Stopped in there once starving, didn't like the look of the place but had no choice... absolutely lovely! I have cleaned the place out on a number of occasions since; can't say enough good things about it.

Another one is the organic burger in Green 19. The place looks quite poncey from the outside, but it's got a really nice layout and ambience (and a small upstairs area that you can rent out, I hear) and the staff are very friendly. €10 for one of the best burgers around, and a huge portion of good chips, too. Recommended.

Otherwise, going to say Bobos as well.

GBK are currently running a 2 for 1 offer on burgers! Had one yesterday!

Is that at all times or just during the day (ie, 9-5... when I'm stuck in work!)?

Their falafel burger is delicious! :pac: :pac:
