Big ol' Burger Comparison Thread

For anyone in the Portsmouth area I went to Feed last night, was my first time going after a mate suggested it. From looking at the site it looks like it may have been there for a while but recently made some changes to the menu. All of the burgers come with two quarter pound patty's, I went for the cheese burger and it was really good (Similar to 7-bone). Total bill for two burgers, two fries and two beers was £24 quid as well so pretty well priced. Here's the site if anyone is interested - http://www.feedltd.com/

I'm in Newcastle this weekend so I'm hoping to visit the pro burger place people have mentioned. Having difficulty remembering the name though... Can anyone remind me please ?

Happened to be wandering through covent garden yesterday so stopped off at Shake Shack.

Just had the double Shack burger so nothing special. Was very enjoyable. Cooked just about right and had a good balance of ingredients. Pretty tasty overall. Good prices too.

Still prefer Patty & Bun though.

And so it came to pass that a Byron B-REX with extra patty was Nommed with gusto. Lovely.

Difficult question to answer really....I fell in love with In'N'Out while on our honeymoon in California. Must have stopped 6 times in 2 weeks. Ooops!

Best I have had in London is Byron, but I have heard amazing things about Patty & Bun, but Byron is so easy to get to accross the City and I despise to queue!!!

Funnily enough, had a brilliant burger in Newcastle last week from Fat Hippo Underground. So good in fact we're going back on Friday. Absolutely brilliant it was! That and a pint of Allendale Adder - I was a very happy chap!

Not busy for lunch. Unsure for dinner, but we've been three times now and has always been very quiet. Real shame as the burgers are absolutely awesome. They need to get a PR company to represent them as their product is spot on

Tried this [..Burger Stop..] last night, had the "Up in Smoke" burger with blue cheese and bacon, and a side of their chicken wings. Probably the best burger I've ever had to this point. The place was dead though so they're doing something wrong...

I'm going to try Patty & Bun this weekend. What should I order?

Glaucus · 29 Aug 2014 at 15:11

I hate this thread, think i'll make smashed onion burgers with a side of coleslaw.

Smokey Robinson is what I had. They were out of fries, but their chicken wings were awesome, the meat fell off the bone!

Cheers bsoltan. It's quite hard tracking stuff down whilst I'm stuck using my phone for browsing

FrenchTart · 29 Aug 2014 at 18:38

Just tried burgerstop...bit blah to be honest. Burger was overcooked and everything had a slightly burnt/stale oil taste.

The Ari Gold is a classic but they do have daily specials from time to time, things like pulled pork and so on which can make a change.

Raymond Lin · 30 Aug 2014 at 21:14

It's not a burger when you can't bite it top to bottom...that's just minced beef and cheese

Chris1712 · 30 Aug 2014 at 21:26

Grillstock Lockjaw Burger

Make sure you get the trailer park fries, they are the highlight.

What the hells the thing, it's not even on the menu?

Baron C · 30 Aug 2014 at 22:07

I love my food as much as the next person, but these burgers just seem so bloody OTT. Its a burger!!

Tunney · 31 Aug 2014 at 00:09

Went to Patty & Bun today. £15 for the 'Jose Jose' chilli burger, chips and a beer. Didn't disappointed.

Had far more expensive burgers in London that weren't half as tasty.
