    Was in there last week and they had a sign on the counter saying they were closing down, but I don't know how long it had been there. Tasty burgers, and even though I was only an infrequent customer, I'll miss them.

    I was in there about two week ago or just under. We ordered the chili cheese dog and the guy said they can't serve them as they're currently negotiating hotdog prices with their supplier. Maybe a clue into why they closed down.

    I'd walk past 2/3 times per week at random hours. Didn't matter what time or day it was, it was randomly packed or randomly empty.

    A better location choice by the owners in Dublin city centre and it would 100% be Dublin's greatest burger instead of that ****e Bunsen that's mentioned here so often.

    Bunsen is far far better than chilli shack. The food was desperate in there and not surprised they closed. It was all greasy deep fried fake American crap.

    As a long time customer of both, Chili Shack outshone bunsen by a mile.

    Five Guys on George's Street for their burger alone. Had one there before Christmas and thought it was the best burger I ever had. Expensive though at around €10. €20 total including a tonne of chips and shake.

    Fine, you don't have to like everything. Bunsen do an excellent burger though, so people will now ignore your ridiculous opinions.

    This other lad thinks it's "****e" though. Utter nonsense.

    I haven't had every burger in Dublin and I'm sure theres a better one, but anyone who thinks Bunsen do a ****e burger deserves to have their stupid opinion disregarded.

    No info given as to what was wrong. So I presumed this was just being a contrarian. Hyperbole crap "lets bad mouth the place people like, sick of hearing about it" just like "heineken is by far the worst beer I have ever tasted, would rather drink dog piss", "heinz ketchup is satans scutter". Like assholes who give films 1/10 on imdb to knock them down a peg or 2 even though they genuinely would give 5 or 6/10.

    Then that comment ^^ confirmed I was right. Went 3 fcuking times!!! hahahaa, and the review goes from ****e to average...

    If people have negative review please state why, what you do not like e.g. thick or rare burgers, brioche bun, bready bun -others might love.

    Not a bad burger BUT its not a real 5 Guys experience as even the medium fries should need a haversack to contain . but its mickey D size fries

    Go to a US Five guys and you need the backpack lol and a waddle out the door .

    Do they do a good burger - for sure - do they do the 5 guys experience - hell no , theres a reason they are a chain in the US

    Love Five Guys. Portions are epic though.
    Also like Bunsen.
    As an obscure one, Douglas and Kaldi in Ashtown used to do an absolute cracking burger. Haven't had it in a year or two so no idea if it's still any good but I was really surprised there first time I had it. Nice bun, the patty was nice and thick and juicy, blue cheese topping with bacon and onions. Definitely hit the spot

    Am I the only one that feels like the burger should actually fit into my mouth for the bite, maybe with some difficulty but I should be able to take a full bit from top to bottom on the side. That thing looks like it needs to be pulled apart or eaten using a knife and fork.

    I'm with you here. Lots of burgers are getting taller. They should be getting flatter and wider.

    Really? Most of the good ones seem compact enough? (Bunsen, wow, box, handsome etc.)

    The last generation of burgers like BoBos etc were more guilty of this I think, the burgers were more about the toppings than the beef
