To be quite honest, I have seen many competitors for Best Burger Brighton, and heading down to the seaside is always a joy with the many options available. With some of the big hitters like Patty & Bun, MeatLiquor, and Honest Burger around, Smashburger was a distant thought. After my splendid photography outside of the target, Honest Burger, I was bemused to see them not open the doors at the stated 11:30 am, opting to tell us 12 pm through the window. Google revealed Smashburger, some 200 yards away was already open so we decided to give it a go.…

Luxxo Burger in Tolworth is a place that I have driven past multiple times and have taken no interest in. Since the inception of Salt Bae’s London restaurant and the hype surrounding edible gold-coated meat, I have been a little more susceptible to more “exotic” creation burgers. Luxxo has been publicised as a restaurant that also has their own Gold Burger and so I thought, maybe it is time, to give one of these a go. When I saw the price tag of £135 I then opted for something a little more pocket-friendly in their Green Hulk Burger. Read on…

McDonalds burgers have been a topic of discussion at Cheeseburgerme for many years. I have never been a fan of McDonalds and have been extremely vocal about that fact for a long time. The Double Big Mac was released around a month ago and the advertising has had me inquisitive, as it does look the part! I cannot deny that the construction in the advert has had me raising an eyebrow ever so slightly. Well, I finally took the plunge. After, at least 10 years, I walked into a McDonalds and ordered something for myself, not my kids, but myself…

It was a family day out to Dip & Flip, secret covert operation to get Dip & Flip on the review cards as we have yet to have ‘officially’ reviewed a burger of theirs. The family train journey to Wimbledon with 2 children climbing on chairs and evading the necessary masks as us adults should be wearing. Question is, whether or not my 5-year abandonment of trains was actually worth it for Dip & Flip’s Bacon Double Cheeseburger… The Bun: 18/20 The soft brioche bun did particularly well to hold up against the sheer weight of this stack. Honestly, this burger…

Now that the world is getting back to normal, I am getting more opportunities for lunch and dinner meetings again, and sometimes I can work a burger I want to try into those meetings. Last week, however, I was meeting a former colleague for dinner in the burger haven of Shoreditch near a conference he was attending and we were actually heading for Peruvian food when he decided he wanted a steak instead. So that gave me a chance to pop into the steakhouse chain Blacklock and try their no-longer-secret burger for the first time. Read on to see how…

Eager to try this restaurant after finding them online I decided to try an extra Burger this weekend. A little off scope and a little out of my proverbial jurisdiction down in Brighton, Bokshop was a serendipitous wild card due to my essential travel today. The creative menu looked outrageous at first sight, Burgers made with Satay Sauce, Burgers made with Asian infused spices, and all based around free-range chicken. The wild card was firstly due to only offering Chicken and secondly being located in Brighton and not technically within my remit for Burger reviewing. I had to give this…

Over the last year, we have reviewed most of the burger chains around London.  We still have a few on our wish list but this month I wanted to get to at least one independent burger restaurant as finding that “diamond in the rough” is the secret wish we all have as reviewers.  Last week I had to run an errand in South Kensington and a quick map check turned up Jimmy’s Grill with an impressive 4.7 Google review score which made it the tops in the area.  Read on to see if that score was justified on our visit……

Having not been in and around London for a period of time the options for reviewing a Burger within a commutable distance without burning in the car in 29 degree heat, was a head-scratcher. Spielburger has been on my own personal radar after reading the review by one of the Cheeseburgerme staff. He reviewed the 1216 and the Classic, from which, the former had a very respectable review. So, after conferring this evening, the target was the Philly Cheesesteak. In popular demand to the point of being sold out many a night, it seemed a prime opportunity to get a…

Around the office, I am the one who normally gives out burger advice. However, that changed a few years ago when the first MeatLiquor opened and some of the IT guys were coming back from Friday lunch in a “grog fog” raving about the cheeseburger they had just had. It was a regular stop until lockdown hit. MeatLiquor did some DIY but sadly not for their beef burgers, so I was very happy to get back in for a Dead Hippy Burger last week. Read on to see how it was… The Bun: 18/20 A simple and effective bun, although…
