THE STEAK DIARIES: Côte De Boeuf – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

The first time I ever tasted côte de boeuf was in the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow many years ago. It was quite unlike anything I’d tasted before. It was near-perfect in appearance with beautiful charred grill lines and buttery-crisp edges. It was soft too, despite being as thick as a hardback novel. I […]

There’s Better Things Than The Burger at Chelsea Market

I instantly fell in love with Chelsea Market from the moment I walked in the door. It’s one of the best looking spots in Glasgow with its large floor to ceiling windows, dark wood and warmly-lit brick walls that feel so welcoming as soon as you set foot inside. Prior to this visit, I’d already […]

Smashed Burger – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

Smashed patties are officially in. After years of piling burgers as high as humanely possible and making them too difficult to eat, Glasgow has embraced the thin, pressed burger. These are popping up on more and more menus all over the city and it’s not hard to see why. I love the fast food look […]

Rib-Eye Burger – Porter & Rye, Glasgow

It can be hard finding a last minute table in Finnieston on a Saturday night; however, with burger cravings setting in, we decided to head there in a taxi and do the impossible. Walking through the door at Porter & Rye, my hopes appeared to be dashed as the restaurant was, understandably, completely packed. I […]

Sliders – Kelvingrove Cafe, Glasgow

There’s so much to love about Finnieston. It’s one of my favourite parts of Glasgow and is forever expanding with great new bars and restaurants. The Kelvingrove Café isn’t new, but it’s been on the James vs. Burger hit-list for a while. After this visit, I can happily report that it’s already become a firm […]

All Burger’d Out?: Street Food Cartel 2 (Scoop & Lupe Pinto’s) – SWG3, Glasgow

It feels like only last week that we were posting our review of Glasgow’s first ever Street Food Cartel event, which generated much discussion over on our Facebook page. Due to the incredible success of the first event, we all knew that ‘SFC 2’ wouldn’t be far away. Fast forward a couple of short months […]

The ‘Hood Beast’ Burger / Italian Sausage Burger – Neighbourhood, Glasgow

Finnieston has become one of Glasgow’s hottest locations in recent years. Whether you’re looking for burgers, seafood, Korean food or just about any other type of cuisine you can think of, you’ll probably find it around there. It’s one of our favourite places to visit when out and about in Glasgow and it’s also home […]

All Burger’d Out?: Pulled Pork Sub / Meatball Sub – Lebowski’s, Glasgow

As most of you know, very occasionally we like to review something that isn’t a burger, but that usually consists of something that can be put on some bread, a bun or something so good that we just have to share it with our readers. That’s why we introduced our ‘All Burgered Out’ section! We […]

J.o.E Burger / Makin’ Bacon Burger – Distill, Glasgow

Formerly known as ‘the Ivy’, Distill isn’t so much the new kid on the block but rather the same Finnieston bar that you all know and love just dressed up a little differently. The bar was forced to change it’s name after being threatened with legal action by the famous, celebrity-friendly Ivy bar in London. […]

The Burns Supper Beast Burger – Lebowski’s, Glasgow

Longtime readers of the site will already know that we’ve recommended the burgers from Lebowski’s very highly on several occasions. The ‘Big Lebowski’ is one of the most gut-busting double stack of patties that we’ve eaten and the White Russians aren’t half bad either! To our surprise, Lebowski’s announced on their Facebook page that they […]
