A tale of two patties – Smashburger, Glasgow

The first time I ate at a Smashburger was at Newark airport. Our flight was delayed and everyone was tired, cranky and hungry. At the time, I probably would have told you that the burger I was biting into was one of the best I’d ever eaten. That was many years ago. That airport Smashburger […]

The Firedog Burger / Chompsky Bao – StrEAT Glasgow at the Broomielaw

Glasgow is the best city in the world. The people, the architecture, the history, our sense of humour, the food, bars, restaurants, burgers…you name it, Glasgow’s got it. But we’ve definitely arrived late to the party when it comes to proper street food. I’m not talking about the dodgy burger vans outside the SECC or […]

Halloumi Burger – BRGR, Glasgow

We’re kicking off our hunt for Glasgow’s best veggie burger today and our journey starts in Giffnock at BRGR. I’m a fan of a really good veggie burger and I know that at times, it can feel like they’re treated as afterthoughts on menus – especially when the veggie burger option is a mushroom on […]

Bacon Cheeseburger – Five Guys, Glasgow

Glasgow’s meat district, formerly known as St. Vincent Street is attracting all of the big burger/dirty american food chains these days – and there’s even more set to move in next year, if you didn’t already know. I have to agree with Chris there. Usually, I’d be all about voting yes but I’m pinning on […]

Seitan Burger – Mono, Glasgow

Throughout June, James vs. Burger has adopted an all-vegan diet (#NaeMeatJune) and has been on the lookout for the best meat-free burgers that the city has to offer. Recently, on a rather sunny day, we headed to Mono at King’s Court to check out their burger offering. Well-known for its eclectic all-vegan menu, Mono is […]

Pork & Buckfast Burger – The Arches Cafe Bar, Glasgow

I had never set foot in the Arches Café Bar until very recently. In the past, I’ve been in the Arches for gigs and being scared silly during Alien War, but never for food. To be honest, it was never a place that was on my ‘burger radar’; however, when I recently heard about the […]

Return Visit: Black Label Bacon Cheeseburger (Takeaway) – Bread Meats Bread, Glasgow

Our first visit to Bread Meats Bread was a fairly mixed bag. The burger was good, but there were a few issues that prevented me from really enjoying it; such as the sweet potato fries, which were terrible. Since that visit, I’d heard that the sweet potato fries had been greatly improved and wanted to […]

Classic Burger – The Two Figs, Glasgow

The Two Figs is a place we had been intending to review for some time and during a recent trip to Glasgow’s west end, a combination of hunger setting in and being caught in the rain as we walked along Byres Road led us right there. We noticed that the restaurant were running a £5 […]
