Best Burger

[The Bun Elephant]

Excuse my ignorance but where is

Trolls Pantry, Burger Bros & Burger Off ?

 

[Mackenzie]

Samsons was always very good. I used to love their bacon and blue cheese burger. It was a great old restaurant that. White wine vinegar on the chips, and the pickle tray......

GBK used to be good, but has declined. Grubbs was good until I encountered severe food poisoning. Uncle SAMs has also declined.

Trolls Pantry, Burger Bros & Burger Off ?

Trolls Pantry - Hobgoblin Pub on London Road and at the street food market in the grounds of Brighthelm on Fridays.
Burger Bros - Somewhere in the lanes.
Burger Off - near Palmeira Square, on a side street off Western Road.

Uncle Sams for me is awful, been there once and it was dry tasteless crap, McDonalds is nicer than that (admittedly the Big Tasty is rather nice).

This thread is threatening my new diet !!

Burger Bros - Somewhere in the lanes.

Burger Brothers are on North Road, just east of Jubilee Street.

The only opinion I respect on this matter is TheDonkeyCentreHalf's.

Thanks mate. As a man who has been known to indulge in a burger or two, I am finding it difficult to split Burger Brothers and Trolls Pantry. Both use high quality meat and buns and are worth the premium. The main difference is BB have a fairly set menu whereas the Troll is always changing his toppings so there is more variety. Troll is hopefully soon to be serving medium/well cooked burgers again which really show off the quality of the beef.

Interesting to see the comments about Five Guys - I have eaten these in the states and they are the best of the chains so good to see them over here giving the woeful BK and McD's a run for their money.

Have been a Grubbs fan since I was a kid and they are still okay but need to up their game now that the new boys are showing them what can be done.

Uncle Sams is hit and miss depending on who is running the franchise. The Burgess Hill one is consistently good, the one in Worthing okay and the Durrington one you should steer clear of.

Burgers in The Basketmakers used to be good but have got quite dry in recent years. The Elly in Lewes is good value for pub burgers and good but not great.

The North Laine pub burger I had a while ago was one of the better pub burgers I have had and not bad value for money.

All Beef Burger Co in Worthing is the best of a bad bunch but only average and over priced. Worthing used to have good burger places (Grubbs, KC's, the one opposite the Wortax office that used to do Chernobyl burgers, Flemings) but there isn't a single place in Worthing that does a decent burger these days. Probably not a bad thing for my ever expanding waistline!

Forgot to mention Byron in London. Went there with high expectations but to me they weren't anything special. Want totry Honest Burger on my next trip to the big city as they are meant to be very good.

I used to go to Samsons with my mum when she had first left my dad and was living almost next to it in Kemp Town. The burgers were bloody excellent but you can imagine the conversations with a recently divorced, stressed out forty something were a little odd. I never went back again for that reason alone.

I was really looking forward to trying GBK when it opened a branch here but I was seriously underwhelmed. Haven't been back.

Big fan of GBK myself. Try and get out for a burger for lunch once a week with one of the guys I work with, going to have to try Burger Off!

The best burger ive had was a Wagyu beef burger from 'Best Burger' in Amsterdam.

9 euro's with salad.

Right I will be going for a burger tomorrow in central Brighton for lunch with not a long walk from North St, where is good to go (other than GBK)?

Burger Brothers is your best bet, it's on North Road near Giraffe, Bills & The Fountain Head.

What sundries do BB offer that set them apart?

I should have said fillings rather than sundries, I just like the word sundries.

Columbus is the capital of your fine state is it not Jim? Got it wrong in the pub quiz last night, said Cleveland ... oh well.

Sorry, what was that about burgers?

Unlucky. Go find a Five Guys and cheer yourself up.

Brighton Burger (next to the Giggling Squid & near Fat Leo, The Druids Head, Donatello's etc) is conspicuous by its absence so far. Has anyone tried it? I haven't yet, but keep intending to...

 

[Mellotron]

Uncle Sam's varies MASSIVELY depending on which branch you go to. The Rustington one is PHENOMENAL, and has been for over 10 years now (same owners/staff for a long time). Meanwhile the Broadwater one is SHITE.

Not bad but not special IMO.

And to be honest (as the thread shows) there are SO many options now that there's no point going for an average burger.

Burger Off is in Brunswick Street West (Hove)
Burger Brothers is in North Road (lower end)

Burger Off is in Brunswick Street West (Hove)

Indeed - the road between the Freemasons and Gourmet Pizza Kitchen. It's a couple of doors down from the Bow St Runner (oddest pub in Hove?) and BIM, which used to be Riley's snooker club.

Surely making your own burger guarantees greater satisfaction?

You choose the meat, the flavour, the strength, the cooking method - and it's cheaper.

If you're in Southampton, 7Bone in Portswood is MAGNIFICENT
