I used four napkins at Patty & Bun today. I haven’t been to most of the names on the list, but I thought the Ari Gold was the most enjoyable burger I’ve had since my move to the UK. And the chips are delicious, too. I don’t eat burgers very often now that I’m older, but it would be worth fasting for a few days to make a return visit!

I like t think of myself in a very small way as a burger explorer, wifey looks on in amazement as whenever we eat out ill always have a burger if its on the menu, my justification being im looking for the perfect burger. I must admit to not trying any ( shame ) of the above top 10, but can I put forward boisdales( lcations all over London ), not a burger joint, but you really have to try one.
I will as part of my voyage of burgerness discovery, get to trying the rest on this top 10, but for my money, boisdales is very hard to beat

Good post, but…

Why did you guys nofollow the links to all the restaurant websites? You should give them full credit since your content only exists because of their products. You didn’t nofollow http://www.pattyandbun.co.uk/, mistake or on purpose?

Thanks Daniel, that’s a lovely review, you’ve spent your time and food miles for our benefit, and Im grateful. Ive read all of the feedback comments and, where your decision is called into question, you back up your decisions with well reasoned argument. There are a few people who post opinions without having even visited any restaurants, and there are a few blatant plugs (‘Robin’ and ‘William’ posting plugs for Dirty Burger within 10 minutes of each other… hmmmm… are you really not affiliated with DB? I can see why they didn’t vote for Honest Burger). There have been a few calls for it but I can see why MEATLiquor isn’t in the top 10; its really not a very nice experience. Ive been twice, most recently last week, and both times I was underwhelmed. The emphasis seems to have been on the décor rather than the food, and both visits weren’t a very pleasant experience for several reasons; the lights are so low that its too dark to read the menu; the fries are boring, frozen, tasteless, the service is awful since the staff are unattentive and pretentious (maybe because its so dark the staff cant see you). Quite oddly, in this equal, indiscriminate age we live in, theres pictures of topless women on the wall to indicate the location of female toilets. REALLY? This is puerile Page3 misogyny, and if only for balance and justice, why no pic of a guy with his cock out for the mens toilet? Because it would probably put you off your hot dog. This place tries too hard to be something it isn’t, a kind of road house, but it ends up being a dimly lit freak show with arrogant hipster staff and not very good food. And the fried pickles were previously alluded to were totally naff.

I have returned now to everywhere on this great list and here is my top five: 1. Lucky Chip 2. Bleeker Street 3. Electric Diner (when Medium rare) 4. Burger Bear w/ bacon jam and Piggy Burger @ Bar Buloud.

Yum! Time to do the top 10 hot dog / sausages!

Is the burger at Berners Tavern the same as the one at Little Social? Looks the same from pictures.

Went to Electric Diner for the burger you kicked off the list for being over-cooked. I asked for it medium rare and they said the patties were too thin and they couldn’t do it and then promptly served a delicious medium rare burger. Go figure.

In reply to Philip Smith. I did try Tommi's steak burger, Philip, and didn't care for it quite as much as you. In truth I preferred Tommi's regular £5.90 burger.

1st I would like to salute Daniel for providing this service which is more important than the NHS and national security. Burger greatness! I will do this in two parts as I need to try some of the cheaper burgers on the list:

Part 1 the expensive burgers. Let me start by saying that I love them all from Goodmans, Cut, Hawksmoor, Little Social and Bar Boulud BUT they all suffer from construction issues…big juicy beasts loaded with Wagyu, bone marrow, foie gras and the rest that often require a knife and fork. Of these big bullies…I would put only the Piggy Burger from Bar Boulud in a top 5 due to excellent / unique taste (like the others) but with an architectural excellence that would impress Da Vinci. (Part 2 next week).

I would highly recommend you try the steak burger at Tommi’s burger shack on Thayer Street W1. Really flavoursome with the taste of steak coming through.
