35 Day-Aged Rump Burger – Alston Bar & Beef, Glasgow

Alston Bar & Beef recently opened its doors in Glasgow to much hype and a lot of mystery. It joins the likes of Gordon Street Coffee, the Beer House and the upcoming Taco Mazama as part of the ongoing pre-Commonwealth Glasgow Central rejuvenation works that are currently taking place in the station. Located underground, down […]

Californian Special Burger – Bread Meats Bread, Glasgow

As part of American National Burger month, Bread Meats Bread decided to create three special menu items over three weeks, each one being their own tribute to an iconic American burger. The first? Their own take on In-N-Out Burger’s secret menu ‘Animal Style’ classic. If you haven’t heard much about In-N-Out burger, their secret menu […]

Beef Burger – Stravaigin, Glasgow

Stravaigin sits on Gibson street in Glasgow’s west end, surrounded by a host of good quality bars, restaurants and entertainment venues. Inside, it’s one of the most fantastic venues I’ve ever set foot in. It feels very intimate, despite being spread out over several levels and there are so many little nooks and crannies to […]

Sliders – Kelvingrove Cafe, Glasgow

There’s so much to love about Finnieston. It’s one of my favourite parts of Glasgow and is forever expanding with great new bars and restaurants. The Kelvingrove Café isn’t new, but it’s been on the James vs. Burger hit-list for a while. After this visit, I can happily report that it’s already become a firm […]

Pork & Buckfast Burger – The Arches Cafe Bar, Glasgow

I had never set foot in the Arches Café Bar until very recently. In the past, I’ve been in the Arches for gigs and being scared silly during Alien War, but never for food. To be honest, it was never a place that was on my ‘burger radar’; however, when I recently heard about the […]

Beef Burger / Salmon Burger – Skinny’s, Glasgow

As you walk towards Skinny’s; tucked away on Otago Street in Glasgow’s West End, it almost feels as if it shouldn’t be there. Located on a fairly quiet side street and surrounded by flats, it’s a rather unusual, almost hidden-away location for a burger joint. To be honest, if I hadn’t heard about it through word […]

Steak Burger – October, Glasgow

Located on the top floor of Princes Square on Buchanan Street, ‘October’ is a cocktail bar & restaurant that’s quite popular with the after-work city centre crowd. It’s decor and atmosphere quickly make you forget that you’re inside a shopping centre by the time you reach your table and there are various seating options available. […]

11 burgers to try during the Glasgow Film Festival

The Glasgow Film Festival is almost here! The annual event is one of our favourite things to do in Glasgow (second to eating burgers, of course!) and most of the films during the festival are shown either at the Glasgow Film Theatre or Cineworld. That’s good news if you like your food as much as […]

Recipe: Monster Munch Burger

For as long as I remember, Walkers Monster Munch have been among my all-time favourite crisps. If you’re us, sometimes you’ve tried crushing your crisps in the packet and putting them on a sandwich or just eating them that way. Now, sometimes there’s nothing better than crisps on a sandwich, but we recently discovered that […]

Porky’s Revenge / Umami Burger – Smoak @ Pivo Pivo, Glasgow

It’s no secret that Smoak have been producing some of the best quality food that Glasgow has to offer for some time now. We’ve reviewed Smoak previously on the website, as part of our off topic ‘All Burger’d Out?’ section, but had never actually gotten around to trying one of their burgers until now simply […]
