I went here today & chose the classic double burger which came to around £5.99(no chips or drink included) A staff member said we could sit anywhere & come over & order at counter when decided. I had been walking all day, so wasn’t impressed at this. I was given a little device like a burger bomb that counts down when your burger will be ready for you to hall ass out your seat again to go collet your food 10 minutes later as the staff members stand around not really doing much by looks of it. When I finally got my burger it was like soup, it was covered in grease & a weird sauce that was pouring all over me. I was pretty embarrassed. The grease even soaked through the paper into the table making my burger fall on floor after a few bites. I was going to complain but there was nobody around but a young bored looking teen. I just went to bathroom to wash myself down & left. Place was pretty clean, but the seats were metal & uncomfortable. I think if you got any service at all &‘didn’t have to collect your own food at the pretty high prices I wouldn’t have had such a bad time. Easy on the grease next time guys

We went with high hopes to this one because our friends loved the one at the other location near fountain bridge. Maybe we are just a bit spoiled but we expected gourmet burgers. I got the vegetarian one and my husband the cheese burger. It was ok but not amazing… He didn’t like his fries very much, they weren’t up to standard, my cheese fries were yummy though. It’s not bad but definitely also not great to be honest. Just burgers, will not go back. On the upside, the staff was very nice.

Really enjoyed Burger last night! I had the cheeseburger and my boyfriend had the double cheeseburger. Both were well prepared, and the service was very good. Right next to the team stop– very convenient location. There was even 3 person band last night, which was great! Looking forward to returning to Burger. :)

To be honest, I would have given Burger three stars until I saw that the rating system translates that as «A-ok». This place is not A-ok. For a start, as others have mentioned, it’s pretty cold in there. You can sit at the back of the restaurant, where the heating seems inadequate, or be near the front and enjoy the icy blasts as the doors open and close. It’s positively Baltic in the toilets, where they have installed hand dryers that blow cold air, presumably to be in keeping with the general experience. It’s also expensive for what it is, and on our second visit the fries were lukewarm and limp. By the time replacements had appeared we had finished our burgers; we had, of course, already paid, so no chance of a refund and no offers of anything to compensate. Having said that, service is friendly, the range of drinks is good, and the burgers are not bad. They also offer gluten-free buns. Burger has potential, but it needs to improve the general offering, particularly the heating. It obviously wants to major on freshly-prepared, quality hot food, so if it doesn’t deliver then the whole proposition fails.

It’s like it’s sister in Fountainbridge, same ordering system and menu. It’s easy to order and pay at the counter and then you get a buzzer to collect your food and just eat the delicious produce. Like Caz, I do like the milkshakes particulary the vanilla with choc chips! We visited this on UYE for the Unilocal christmas dinner and I think we all enjoyed it. I just felt the place was a bit empty for that time in the evening but it was a Tuesday. The croquettes were yummy as was the biblical burger. I thouroughly enjoyed the christmas pudding ice cream as the egg nog alcoholic milkshake! Ok like Claire C says, it is plastic cutlery and a metel tray but it’s veg ware so everything is biodegradable, ok they could invest in silverware but I think then they would lose«something». But it feels cold, I noticed there was a plug-in heater to help warm things up a bit. The toilets were freezing though. I would come back as I do like the food, just hope it warms up a little bit otherwise we be walking out like snowy penguins!

Sooooo I think I missed the memo on this one. I’m a bit confused about all the hype surrounding this place. My dining partner and I paid £20 to drink out of plastic cups, eat with plastic forks and scoop our dinner off a tray in a chilly fast food environment. I had to eat with my jacket on(and I noticed everyone else in the place did too, so it wasn’t just my reptilian temperature). How is this a good experience for the money? There are plenty places that serve just as good burgers and chips for the same money in a much better environment, offering a far superior experience. The food was ok. The chips were good, but my veggie burger was only luke warm when I got into it, the patty oozed out over the bun and without decent cutlery or a plate it was a bit of a nightmare to eat. Sorry, but this did not impress me in the slightest and I came away feeling ripped off. If you want fast food go to McDonalds or Burger King and save yourself the cash. If you want half-decent grub then go to a pub or café and have a better experience for the money. The posh fast food idea doesn’t do it for me at all.

I’m not quite sure why people are raving about this place. It’s like a slightly more upmarket Wannaburger. They have the same buzzy order thingy and order system, but your menu is brought to you. I went for lunch, at 1pm the place was dead, tumble weeds blowing throughout. I decided to go vegetarian, the only option being *surprise* the vege burger. The burger as a whole was unimpressive. It was small with the vege patty overhanging the bun, earthy is the flavour they were going for, but it had a slight taste of curry spices. I hated the brioche bun, shiny waxy looking without any substance. The fries are the shoe string variety with skin, if you don’t like a lot skin on your fries, you won’t like Burger fries. They were crispy and not at all greasy, but I didn’t like the texture with the skin on. For the price, I think Burger is overrated. I’d probably go to nearby Pret or the Red Squirrel for better food.

This place can be dangerous for me as its right next to my regular bus stop. And I love burgers. Saw that this place was relatively new and decided I needed a snack. Place was completely empty when I went in and decided I would just grab a burger to-go. Place seemed friendly and clean if not a little hipster. Looked at the menu and liked what I saw nothing to fancy. Did like the weekly burger specials they had and I decided to try a Greek type chicken burger which was actually pretty good. I will need to go back and try a good ol fashioned bacon cheeseburger. Old fashioned burgers are the best I think so I will update my review when I try them again. But other then that I do recommend this burger joint, it’s got decent prices and plenty of room for the family!

Much like it’s sister restaurant in Fountainbridge, Burger in the West End does great burgers and hot dogs. Still the same procedure, order at the counter, go up and collect your food when your buzzer goes. No fuss, no muss. Just good, delicious food at a good price. Milkshakes still amazing as well!

Sibling to Fountainbridge(and there are more to come I believe) it is similar in design. All industrial exposed walls, etc and same ordering system in place — go order at counter and pay, get buzzer and when buzzer lights up then go collect food. Same menu including specials which change regularly. Experience is consistent — lovely staff, fab burgers(yep, includes GF) and fab fries also GF then I still love this place, no change there. Staff friendly, nice toilets and West End location is perfect for town. Love it! Best GF burger and fries in town :-)
