All Burger’d Out?: The ‘Chicago’ Hot Dog – Little Urban Achievers Club, Glasgow

Little Urban Achievers Club; or ‘LUAC’, is located on Great Western Road (formerly ‘The Wise Monkey’) and specialises in gourmet hot dogs and pizzas. We’d received several requests for a review from readers and decided that it was time for a new entry in our ‘All Burgered Out?’ section. A visit to the west-end was […]

Indian Burger / Brisket Sandwich – Buddy’s Bar, Diner & Grill, Glasgow

Buddy’s BBQ has certainly come a long way since opening it’s doors only just over a year ago. A small, unassuming takeaway in the heart of Glasgow’s South side quickly attracted visitors from all over the city, resulting in hour-long queues, food shortages and some of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Fast-forward one year […]

Hot Chic Burger – Burger Meats Bun, Glasgow

This review was originally intended to be on Jacker De Viande, West Regent street’s latest burger & BBQ joint. We stopped by Jacker De Viande around 2.30pm and despite signs outside that read ‘OPEN’ and their website stating that they’re open from 11am until 6pm on Sundays, all of the doors appeared to be locked. […]

The ‘New Yorker’ Burger / Sloppy Swine – Strata, Glasgow

My first visit to Strata was many years ago, on a random and rainy Saturday afternoon in Glasgow. Quite frankly, I hated it. Overpriced, poor quality pub food that you’d expect to find out of a box from a supermarket. At the time, I thought I’d never go back again. Recently; however, at Glasgow’s 2013 […]

Build Your Own Burger – Tribeca, Glasgow

Whilst out and about in the west end of Glasgow, you’ll probably have seen a bright yellow New York City taxi parked on Dumbarton road. Don’t worry, you’ve not been transported halfway across the world – the car belongs to Tribeca, one of Glasgow’s most popular breakfast & lunch spots. We’ve been to Tribeca previously […]

Classic Angus Beef Burger – Ad Lib, Glasgow

Many consider Ad Lib to be the place that brought the gourmet burger to Glasgow. Many, many years ago, long before ‘James vs. Burger’ was even an idea, I still remember Ad Lib on Hope street being the first place that I ever ate a ‘proper’ burger, with my only other experiences at the time […]

Cheeseburger-Crust Pizza – Pizza Hut

Described on the Pizza Hut website as ‘all of the fun, without the bun’, the cheeseburger-crust pizza, which appeared on menus overseas earlier this year, has now hit the UK. Earlier this week, the near 3,000 calorie pizza hit the newspapers and was panned (heh) by critics. We’re pretty open-minded here at JVB and didn’t […]

Pork & Chorizo Cheeseburger / Lamb Burger – The Curler’s Rest, Glasgow

Take a quick look around the Curler’s Rest and you’d probably never know that before becoming a quality gastropub, it was the bar of choice for many nearby Glasgow students, who were looking to purge on cheap burgers and £1 pints. Fast forward a few years and Curler’s has since built a reputation as one […]

Moroccan Rolla Burger (Takeaway) – Burger Meats Bun, Glasgow

Unless you’ve been hiding away at home for the past several months without any visitors, mobile phone or internet access, you’ve probably heard about Burger Meats Bun by now. The latest addition to Glasgow’s burger scene arrived with a bang back in July and had been the subject of much discussion over on our Facebook […]

Beef Burger – Sloans, Glasgow

Self-described as Glasgow’s oldest bar, Sloans is known to pretty much everyone who lives in our fine city. Tucked away down a lane, just off Argyle street, Sloans has an almost hidden-away feel to it. My parents, grandparents, friends and other family members have all eaten here, yet it’s somewhere that has dropped off my […]
