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 […]

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 […]

Beef / Lamb & Chorizo / Venison & Blue Cheese Burgers – The Pelican Cafe, Glasgow

Prior to this review, I had unknowingly walked past the Pelican Cafe many times, usually on my way to Brewdog next door or Glasgow’s Kelvinhall. We were out in Glasgow to meet up with a couple of friends and decided to get some dinner in too. As the Pelican is located just seconds away from […]

Inn Deep Burger – Inn Deep, Glasgow

I had never visited the Big Blue Bar & Restaurant, which formally occupied 445 Great Western Road. I had heard good things about their burgers but simply just hadn’t found the time to stop by. Whilst I was planning out a list of upcoming reviews, I was surprised to find out that Big Blue had […]

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 […]

Beef Burger – Red Onion, Glasgow

Tucked away on West Campbell street, just off of Glasgow’s busy Bath street, lies Red Onion – a small, stylish restaurant run by chef and owner John Quigley. Red Onion feels like a warm, family dining room as you walk through the front door, through the following curtain and into an oasis of bare brick […]

Double Burger – WEST Brewery, Glasgow

Let me start this review by saying that I love the West brewery. I’ve been a fan of their own in-house produced beer for many years now and the bar itself is one of my favourite places to meet up with friends and family on a rare hot summer’s day in Glasgow. I love nothing […]
