    I don't think I've ever been given a choice in any of the aforementioned places.
    Isn't everyone mega paranoid these days about rare burgers?

    I dont know how a chipper burger and eddie have got mentioned as best burgers. Chipper burgers are greasy and eddies are usually woefully overcooked and tasteless.

    A good burger place takes time getting the right meat, correct toppings and all fresh and decent service. Dont forgot they must do good sweet potato fries. Absolutely lovely with any burger.

    Counter Burger in Suffolk Street. I was here recently with a friend of mine and it was really nice to be able to get a proper burger with the toppings you like on it.
    The toppings were really fresh.

    I'm pretty sure that restaurants can't sell medium-rare burgers. I always ask for them to be cooked medium, but sometimes the waitress says that even that's too rare. Can't remember where that was now...

    OTOH, maybe the trick is not to have too massive a burger. I can't imagine that 2/3 lb burger being particularly juicy.

    They can't serve medium-rare burgers. Jo'burger were threatened with court not so long ago for asking customers how they wanted their burger.

    nothing worse than a charcoaled burger like Eddie Rockets. If it wasn't for the sauce there'd be no taste. Eddies could have a serious burger if they made them just a little red.

    Every burger place I go I ask for Medium Rare and sometimes I get it, most times I don't.

    jo's seemed to stop it alright in 2011 but last 2 times I went in Rathmines in June and July, I got it Medium Rare.

    Bobo's never seem at allow it. Can't remember the counter.

    In either the Counter or GBK (or both) they do medium burgers unless you ask it for well done.

    Why would they be allowed do medium if they arent allowed do medium rare? Surely the burgers have to be cooked through

    Just had the most amazing burger in Dublin earlier. I was in a new place called Bunsen on Wexford St. It's an American style burger place with burgers from 6.95.

    Nice but small cheeseburger €7.95
    Very average chips €2.95 (disgraceful)
    Can of coke €1.95

    Total €12.85

    Insanity in my opinion, particularly considering the state of the chips.

    Just to be warned, Bunsen only serve two burgers, a hamburger and a cheese burger. Hamburger is €6.95, cheese burger is €7.45

    I've heard about that place. Seems a little pricey though. €9.40 for a cheeseburger and coke? €12.35 if you get chips with it too. Read a review where the burger was described as small. I'm sure it tastes great, but it's not 2006 anymore.

    It maybe small but it's delish. If you want a bigger burger you get a double burger. It fills the spot for lunch and that does me fine.

    I don't have a problem with small, I don't have a problem with 2 burgers on the menu. I do however, have a problem with these prices:

    Sounds like they're trying to be like In 'n Out Burger, but are charging 3 times the price.

    Not really sure why you have a problem with that since it's pretty much the going rate for places similar to Bunsen.

    In Gourmet burger kitchen and Jo Burger fries are 3 and 4 euros respectively, neither are particularly great chips imo. Even Apache chips are 2.50.

    "Bottomless" soft drinks are 3 euros in GBK, I'd imagine its the same price for cans in the other places just cant verify that from their website.

    Sounds like they're trying to be like In 'n Out Burger
    Not really
