It's the fact that it's considered cheap food in the USA plus in the UK it's not even table service. You're talking a few rungs up from BK at 2.5 times the price.

Theres a Five-Guys opening up in birmingham in summer, the mrs wants to go there and she'd talked it up for the last month to me, but after seeing this thread and my hype has now left :<
Don't get me wrong, it's not a *bad* burger. It's just over priced and there are better ones out there. Byron is much better and you get waited on for the same price.

Steak n Shake in America are pretty good.

Yeah I'm getting proper burger pangs checking up on this thread 
Well Patty & Bun may be on the cards this weekend as we have friends coming up. A visit to La Fromagerie (amazing cheese!) will be the excuse to then get a lovely burger. This would then be followed by a trip round the corner to Workshop Coffee, and rounded off with a browse around Hedonism WineYeah I'm getting proper burger pangs checking up on this thread

Umami Burger is the best I've had (Santa Monica)
In N Out was pretty amazing for a fast food place
7bone in southampton was pretty good (maybe a bit too juicy though?)

If I'm spending circa £15 on a meal, I don't want a burger.
Are these places REALLY worth it?

If the burger is really good then I don't see why they wouldn't be worth it. £15 isn't really that much to spend on a meal and a really high quality burger with chips on the side would certainly compare favourably to whatever you could get for £15 elsewhere even if it's definitely not high up on the health scale.

Schwartz Bros in Bath. Takeaway only, but gurt lush- as we say round these parts.
Or Billy Burger (stupid name), which does kangaroo/boar/reindeer/ostrich etc. burgers, but is about two miles out of town. They apparently deliver, but that depends on whether they answer the flaming phone...

Too juicy? Nooo way!
I make the best burger I've ever had imo (not necessarily the best ever made
Pics or ...
It was a recipe I started making in the last place I worked. Not sure where to get brioche buns except from the catering company we used. Any ideas?

lol well - maybe it was just the one I had ? it was very tasty but yeah bit too much juice - was making the bun soggy and dripping down my hand during eating, taste was muy incredible'! however
Umami was awesome though - ordered a double and the waiter recommend that, as I was not from "round there" I might consider ordering something smaller - this made me only more resolute that I had come to the right place
- I proved him so very wrong lol
