Chorizo Burger / The Nelson Burger – The Admiral, Glasgow

I vaguely remember being in the Admiral at the tail end of a pub crawl with a few work colleagues several years ago. The only memories left from that night are of a few too many shots at the bar with some friends and a horrible portion of chips and cheese on the cold, drunken […]

Fried Chicken Burger – Smoak @ Sanctuary, Glasgow

If you’ve read any of our past reviews of Smoak, whether it’s been from their home at the Variety Bar or as part of the Street Food Cartel event, you’ll know that we’re huge fans of their food. These guys produce some of the best pulled pork, brisket and street food that you are likely […]

Moskito Burger / Pulled Pork Sandwich – Moskito, Glasgow

Moskito is one of those bars that we’ve walked past many times, always making a mental note to stop by for a burger review. We had actually planned to visit several times before this review, but each time something always got in the way and admittedly, we sort of just forgot about it altogether. Recently, […]

1901 Burger / Elvis Burger – 1901 Bar & Grill, Glasgow

A recent discussion regarding the best burger in Glasgow’s south side on our Facebook page sparked us to head over to Shawlands. We recently reviewed the burger from Eat Cafe, a widely regarded favourite amongst our readers and found it to be pretty darn good. We decided to randomly pick a venue in the south […]

BBQ Pulled Pork Chilli Burger / Brie, Bacon & Red Onion Chutney Burger – The Roxy 171, Glasgow

This wasn’t our first visit to the Roxy. It was actually one of the first burgers we reviewed when we launched James vs. Burger last year and at the time, we arrived at the bar having completely forgotten our camera, hence the rubbish smart phone photo on our first review. What made this even more […]

All Burger’d Out?: Pulled Pork Sub / Meatball Sub – Lebowski’s, Glasgow

As most of you know, very occasionally we like to review something that isn’t a burger, but that usually consists of something that can be put on some bread, a bun or something so good that we just have to share it with our readers. That’s why we introduced our ‘All Burgered Out’ section! We […]

Smoak & Scoop’s Street Food Cartel Event – SWG3, Glasgow

High quality US-style takeaway and street food has exploded in Glasgow in recent months. Since the launch of Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers along with Smoak @ Variety Bar in November of last year, hungry food fanatics have been going crazy for pulled pork sandwiches, good quality takeaway burgers and slow cooked ribs. Smoak recently announced […]

Pulled Pork Burger / Sloppy Rascal / Pizza Burger – Rascals Bar, St. Andrews

When you think of St. Andrews, most people think of the university, golf courses and picturesque beaches. That is, until now. Rascals Bar, located on North street, is attempting to inject their love for burgers and for television shows such as Man vs. Food into the community and they have done so in the form […]

J.o.E Burger / Makin’ Bacon Burger – Distill, Glasgow

Formerly known as ‘the Ivy’, Distill isn’t so much the new kid on the block but rather the same Finnieston bar that you all know and love just dressed up a little differently. The bar was forced to change it’s name after being threatened with legal action by the famous, celebrity-friendly Ivy bar in London. […]

Every February, as part of the illustrious Glasgow Film Festival, horror fans and movie-goers from all over the UK converge on the Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) to enjoy two full days of non-stop, back to back horror films – an event known as Fright Fest! We here at James vs. Burger are huge film fans […]
