    Had a burger in Abra in city centre earlier. Very average.

    Salad wasn't great. Too much red sauce and burger itself bog standard frozen type.

    Burger and chips was almost a tenner. Bit of a ripoff

    I’d never go to abra again.
    Recently went to the one in dame st during the afternoon.

    Customer service is non existent. Sour and down right unfriendly. The food was slop. A donor and a chicken kebab. Donor was ok. Chicken was atrocious. Had to throw it out. The chicken was just filth. I really wanted to put their window in and hadn’t touch a drop of drink. Never again.

    I ordered an Abrakebabra the other week. Everything about it was vile. It was probably the worst fast food I've ever had. Simply disgusting!

    Had a burger here just before Christmas, was absolutely delicious. Was the BBQ one, reasonable price and filled me before my night of drinking!

    Went to five guys on georges st earlier, dont think ive been in one since canada about 6 years ago. Knew it would be expensive, but it is definitely not as good as i remember. Cajun chips were rank as well.

    My curiosity satisfied, will return to bunsen/wowburger/rockets/bobo's ahead of it next time.

    How has this thread got to 20 pages without mentioning Featherblade on Dawson Street? Are they too fancy? Their lunchtime burger is the best I have ever had, in Ireland or anywhere else.

    Resurrecting an old thread but myself and herself were in Bison Bar on the Quays this afternoon for a post blood donation meal - she got the Bacon Cheese Burger!

    The burger itself was delicious, really nicely cooked and that! The bacon was lovely. The brioche bun was tasty (I avoided the cheese when having a taste).

    11 quid for a burger and a side! Can't go wrong with that!

    Bison Bar is directly next door to the Workman's Club where Wowburger is.

    I might have mentioned it before but 'On the pigs back' on Capel st (near parnell st junction) does a great burger, not too big and messy and their sweet potatoe fries are to die for and will feed two people. Also PHX bistro and Woof in smithfield have really good burgers too. Oscars in smithfield used to be really good but the last time I went I was underwhelmed. All much better than the aforementioned Chili shack though.

    Couldn't disagree with this review more tbh. Depends on what kind of "burger" you're looking for I guess, but I'm guessing you'd be a fan of GBK/Bobos/Jo'Burger

    No actually, I'm not. I tried GBK/Jo'Burger once, Bobos I only have a chicken burger on the rare occasion I go there. What part do you disagree with?

    The entire thing if I'm honest.

    Wuff is fine, nothing special any time I've eaten there.

    PHX Bistro is somewhere I've only been once, didn't have a burger but someone I was with did and it looked pretty much like Jo'burger style, a big dry meatball.

    Oscars - I've never eaten anything remotely serviceable there.

    Chili Shack - had it delivered a couple of times and only had one occasion where it was not great, but still better than any of the above.

    New "restaurant" part to Bison is nice! First time in there - comfy as f*ck seats!

    Just before that window there's now an entrance on the left (used to be a small seating/table) which enters into the new restaurant (google maps says it was Picture Rooms).

    Wow, so my main recommendation (On the Pig's back) you haven't even tried? PHX you haven't tried either and it's nothing like a big dry meatball. How long ago since you were in Woof, it's changed ownerships since it first opened. I also said Oscars had disimproved. Chili Shack is fine but I prefer the other local options to me.

    I love chili shack but when it's delivered, everything is soggy from the condensation going on in the bag/boxes. Still good but eating in the restaurant is ideal.

    I honestly couldn't give a ****, but bad recommendations are bad recommendations. No accounting for taste I guess, but I can't not comment on someone recommending some of the worst restaurants in that area!
