Chorizo Burger – Max’s Bar, Glasgow

It’s not often that a burger designed as a one off special’s board offering gets promoted as a permanent menu feature due to high demand, but that’s exactly what has happened at Max’s Bar & Grill on Glasgow’s Queen street. We had heard a lot about the chorizo burger on the menu and had read […]

Steak Burger / Weekly Special – Eat Cafe, Glasgow

Sometimes we like to get outside of the city centre for a burger and recently we’ve been hearing a lot of great things about the Eat Cafe in Shawlands from our readers. We’ve received photos, e-mails, tweets and Facebook messages telling us that it’s the best burger in the south side of Glasgow and we […]

All Burger’d Out?: Pulled Pork and Brisket Brioche Sandwich / Soft Corn LA Style Street Tacos – SMOAK at Variety Bar, Glasgow

Just last week we posted a review of Glasgow’s latest takeaway venue, Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers – the first American BBQ fast food takeaway spot in the city. Within days of opening up shop, the demand for Buddy’s food was so high that they were forced to close up shop for a few days in […]

Ground Beef Burger – Mansion House, Glasgow

Whilst attempting to decide where to visit for our latest burger review, we decided to do something a little different and just choose somewhere completely random without doing any prior research. We used Urbanspoon to randomly select a venue and it returned Mansion House as our next visit. Hoping that the internet gods would randomly […]

Buddy’s Special Burger / Pulled Pork Sandwich – Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers, Glasgow

If you were to ask someone in Glasgow to recommend a good place for takeaway food, chances are that they’ll mention a few of the best spots in the city for a curry. Glasgow loves takeaway; however, one thing we’re not really known for is American BBQ or a good fast food takeaway burger. That […]

Butterfly and Piglet Burger / Lamb Special Burger – The Butterfly and the Pig, Glasgow

Stepping into the Butterfly and the Pig almost feels like you are going to your strange grandparent’s house for dinner. Packed full of mis-matched kitsch furniture, the bar has a very warm and homey atmosphere and seems an ideal place to sink into an armchair and relax for a few hours with a couple of […]

World Tour: Bacon Cheeseburger – Great Jones Cafe, New York

If you are in New York City and craving a little slice of New Orleans, the Great Jones Cafe has just about everything you need. You’ll forget that you are still in New York City from the moment you step into this small cafe, which is likely around the same size as your living room […]

Manhattan Burger – NYC, Glasgow

The last time I was at 185 Hope Street, it was known as ‘Candy Bar’ and was serving up tapas food and a wide range of cocktails. At the time I left Candy Bar not overly impressed and in no rush to return. Fast forward a little over two years later to today and I […]

Recipe: Halloween Burger

We like to get creative here at James vs. Burger and since this year marks our first Halloween, we wanted to create some frightful delights to mark the occasion. We wanted to make this burger completely from scratch, right down to the bun itself; however, since it’s Halloween we thought we’d go a bit further […]

Scooby Snack – Solid Rock Cafe, Glasgow

Over the years, Glasgow watering holes have come and gone but one that has always remained is the Solid Rock Cafe on Hope Street. This legendary bar is widely known as the place to go if you’re looking to enjoy some cold beer, hard spirits and head-banging, eardrum-shattering rock music, both old and new. It’s […]
