Big ol' Burger Comparison Thread

[Buffman]

Had a byron burger Friday night. Nice burger and sides (and dessert and milkshake) however cost 45 quid (for 2) :X.
Don't think it's any better than gbk (particularly the sides and milkshakes aren't as good)

Has anyone tried the new TGI Friday's offering of hand crafted burgers?

Look decent, but sceptical.

I never went to Honest Burger when I lived over that way. One of my big culinary regrets!

Gone Burgers amazing!

My 3rd trip to Honest Burger (Tooting) in 4 weeks for me this evening, can't wait. They're now doing BBQ chicken wings as well !

Another meal at Byron today. Again a little underwhelming. Not awful..not great.

Honests burgers are quite good, but others in London are better, the chips are something I'm not quite so sure on... They're rosemary fries, and a bit odd.

Burger and lobster today:



Was good.

Man that looks tasty.

Where was it?

Blobster?

Looks pretty delicious

Burger and Lobster in London (there are a few). You can do a combo, and have a burger AND lobster - which I will be doing next time!

Oh! DURRRR! Hahahaha.

Thought you were saying that the burger also had lobster on it, and assumed it was a few pieces above the bacon but hidden by the bun.

Still, it looks bloody lovely.

*Marks up "to do" sheet*

It's a reasonably big burger. 10oz of ground beef, so cooked rare/medium rare generally. The "combo" is for 2 people to share, it's £60, and you get lobster and a burger each.

£60 for a burger and a lobster each isn't bad at all, i'm guessing the lobsters aren't particularly large though? Burger looks good all the same.

 

[Freefaller]

That's what I thought it's pretty good value. The lobsters are enough to leave you nicely full, so a burger and lobster between 2 would be a decent feast

Normally each dish is £20, (burger, lobster or lobster roll) so you're effectively saving yourself £20 by doing that.

Pretty sure I said this only a week or so ago but I really need to get down to London for food. Manchester just doesn't cut it.

in london, Red Iron burger is quite good. their own sauce in their burger is incredibly good!

But i would say best is Meat and Shake.

they have a smoked burger which comes out with the plate literally smoking (yes literally), and their apple pie milkshake is second to none

Let me know, and we can do a weekend of eating!

I'm down in London at UCL for the next two days and staying in a hotel near Wembley tomorrow night. Are there any great burger places near either?
