St Louis Smokin’ Burger – St Louis Cafe Bar, Glasgow

After my visit to the St Louis Cafe, I almost feel bad that it has gone unnoticed by me for as long as it has. Until last week, I didn’t even know the cafe existed and it was only when James vs. Burger reader Emma Duguid posted a photo of a burger on our Facebook […]

Oxtail & Bone Marrow Special Burger – The Grosvenor Cafe, Glasgow

I recently sampled the Grosvenor’s oxtail and bone marrow beef burger at the 2012 Glasgow’s Best Burger contest and despite only having a few bites, I knew it was one that I had to try on it’s own. Tucked away on Ashton Lane, the Grosvenor Cafe doesn’t look all that big on the outside, but […]

The Chinaski’s Burger – Chinaski’s, Glasgow

Chinaski’s, which is named after the autobiographical character created by Charles Bukowski, is hard to find if you don’t know where to look. Located next to the Black Sparrow on North street, Chinaski’s hides in plain sight with it’s unmarked entrance, lack of sign and dark windows – a way to deter troublesome drinkers who […]

Beef Burger – Velvet Elvis, Glasgow

As you sit inside Velvet Elvis and look around, you’ll feel like you are slap bang in the middle of the infamous cantina scene from Star Wars due to the wide variety of people you’ll see there – young couples, families, pensioners, office workers and people from various walks of life fill up this popular, […]

Bolt Burger – Tribeca, Glasgow

Tribeca describes itself as ‘the best little cafe in the world’ and is usually jam packed with customers no matter what time of day you visit. Once you step inside and let the atmosphere soak in, it’s not hard to see why. The guys at Tribeca have carved out a little slice of New York […]

The Slope Burger – Big Slope, Glasgow

Everyone has one of those bars that they walk or drive past almost daily and think to themselves, ‘I need to go in there soon’ and never do. For me, Big Slope was just that. Located just around the corner from the likes of Lebowski’s and the Ivy, Big Slope sits on the corner of […]

Burger Selection – Trio Cafe, Burnside, Glasgow

Most of the burgers we review are found in cafes, bars or restaurants in Glasgow City Centre and if you ask most people where to get a great burger in Glasgow, chances are they’ll point you in the direction of somewhere between the city centre and the west end. We wanted to find out if […]

All Burger’d Out?: The Legendary Lebowski’s Chilli-Cheese Dog – Lebowski’s, Glasgow

We stopped by Lebowski’s for a quick bite to eat on the way to meet up with some family and when the staff told us about the new addition to their menu, I knew it would be the perfect way to kick off our ‘All Burgered Out?’ section. Even though we’re all about the burgers […]

Black Pudding & Chorizo Steak Burger – Bloc, Glasgow

In our last review, we mentioned that we were left feeling rather cold after we tried the King Kuta beef & chorizo burger from Kuta on Glasgow’s busy Bath street. We had been under the impression that the patty itself was made up of both beef and chorizo, but when we actually tasted the burger, […]

The ‘King Kuta’ Beef & Chorizo Burger – Kuta, Glasgow

With Glasgow’s Bath Street being home to many of our favourite bars and food hangouts, I was surprised to learn that a new venue by the name of Kuta, located right next to Mark’s Hotel, had opened up since our last visit since usually, no new bar or restaurant would open up on Bath Street […]
