I was excited to try out Bread Meats Bread on St Vincent Street in Glasgow after hearing good things about their gluten-free options, so after a long day of exploring the city, when I found this place on Uber Eats delivering to my hotel, I didn't think twice. The menu has so many choices, even gluten-free, ranging from beef and chicken burgers to poutine, toasties and more. I decided to go for the Classic Grilled Chicken Burger and the Classic Grilled Cheese, both simple dishes but they just sounded so good. I called the restaurant ahead of placing my order on Uber Eats, just to inform them I'm coeliac, the staff member showed good knowledge regarding allergens and promised to keep everything safe for me. The food was packaged up very well, but it wasn't fully hot when delivered, likely due to the Uber delivery driver making another delivery on his way to me. Again, I can't really hold the restaurant responsible for this as they did their part. The chicken burger was really good, the chicken was tasty and had lots of flavour with the buttermilk, and the vegetables (lettuce, tomato etc) on the burger were fresh. The grilled cheese was also excellent, it sounded so simple but they managed to somehow elevate it to make it just so good, if it wasn't for the gluten-free stickers all over the packaging, I'd even think they'd given me the wrong order! I don't understand the obsession with pickles at this place though, my burger probably had half a dozen of them alone, and the grilled cheese came with a side of pickles. It was easy enough to pick them off though. I do think allowing order notes on Uber Eats would be great or at least being able to add/remove toppings as it doesn't appear to be possible right now. I was let down by the fries though, they just tasted so ordinary and bland, with the quality of everything else, you just expect better! I'd definitely return to Bread Meats Bread on future trips to Glasgow, although I may decide to dine in next time to ensure my food is hot and it's easier to handle anything I want to add/remove to my food to make it right for me. 4*
Great spot for drinks and food. Service was good. To be honest we only got drinks here and had a good time sitting outside and people watching. Service took care of us. But we did see others ordering food and it looked really good. If we come back to Glasgow to visit. We will have to come back and try the menu. I had a beer, my wife and daughter both had a wine Not too pricey and tasted good.
We were seated right away. Service was great, we were checked up on 4-5x. Wolf burger was delicious! Onion rings were basic; ate two & left rest. My hubs had the poutine & loved it. Really fun menu with lots of cool burger concoctions. Prices are 11-16 pounds a burger. Sides are al la cart, but cheap (4-8 pounds). Overall, good food & fast service. will return!
I was vacationing in Glasgow with my husband and sister. After checking in our hotel, our first priority was getting some lunch. We were in the mood for burgers and Bread Meats Bread did not disappoint! There was no wait and we were seated right away. It's spacious inside with plenty of tables and room between each table. We all decided to get beer. The beer list had a decent selection and we were all happy with our choices. Next up- the food. There were plenty of options (including some vegetarian options). I had a hard time deciding but eventually picked the wolf burger. It was delicious. It's packed with meat, could not finish it. The poutine caught my husband's eye... also delicious and also generous portion. My sis initially wanted a burger but changed her mind and got the patty melt- yummm! Overall we were pleased with our meals and had a good experience. We all left with full bellies.
By far this was the best burger I have ever eaten. The wolf burger is a bacon cheeseburger with bbq sauce and pulled pork with american cheese. Ordered this as lunch special that came with small skin on chips and a soda. The pulled pork on the burger was moist and not dry at all. It added a zing of flavor with every bite along with the cheese that had melthed and the patty from the burger. It made every bite taste so much better the more I bit into the burger. I would recommend this burger to anyone.
Absolutely love the burger to death, it's not cheap though, but it's worth it! Lots and lots of meat in a burger and the bread it's just taste so good, soft and a wee bit sweet which I like it. However the Poutine is not that good as expected, salty Love the The Wolf and the Sunshine on Burger!!
We were vacationing in Scotland and decided to go to a burger place because we are totally cliche. Our main decision to go there was the Gluten free and vegetarian options available, which are very rare in Burger joints. Also, the location is really convenient for a stop while exploring the city The specialty burgers are massive and extremely good. My BF had the one with a burger patty topped with beef brisket. I was not THAT hungry and instead I ordered a halloumi burger which was really good and satisfying. We seriously need to make halloumi a thing in the US The space is kind of small, but we were seated fast enough in the communal table, I love that style of seating because you never have to wait to long. Service was good and i was pleasantly surprised because there were only like 2 servers for all the restaurant. There was one cider on menu (#GlutenFreeLife) which is much better than zero!.
I'm a sucker for cool restaurant names and big tasty burgers, and this place has both. Having heard good things about this place and seeing the plentiful good reviews, we knew we had to check it out. The restaurant certainly gets busy, but we were fortunate to find a spot as we entered. The burgers here may be a bit pricy, but you do get some huge burgers filled with fixins.
We stopped over for lunch on a busy Friday and it was a great experience. The place was packed, but the friendly staff were quick to fit us in. Their menu is full of creative choices, with several of them being vegan options. I ordered the Vegan B12 Cheeseburger, which appeared small at first but really packed in the flavor and was filling. For a side I got fries with vegan harissa mayo. My only complaint is that to make any sauce vegan it's twice the regular price, which seems a bit steep. That won't stop us from returning again though. The employees were definitely amazing, when we got our change back from paying, our waitress was even kind enough to find my husband a specific coin type since he's a collector.
When it's taken you so long to visit somewhere for food then most of the time you're gonna be left with a bit of an anti-climax. Not at Bread Meats Bread! In need of something substantial and quick after an event and before my train home we quickly decided on BMB. The service was lovely from the second we walked in. Choosing what we wanted from the menu actually probably took longer than it did for them to get the food on the table once we'd ordered too which was amazing as we ended up around 10 minutes early for our train. The decor has a cute diner feel with some quirky wall art and lovely booths. There's a communal table in the centre too that really makes this feel like a warm, friendly place to grab a bite. Onto the food. I ordered the Wolf of St Vincent Street burger and shared a side of glaspoutine with hubby. The Poutine came first. Consisting of chunky chips topped with curds, cheddar and a rich gravy, it was a beautiful messy thing. The portion size was enormous and could easily have fed us and our friends as a side. The gravy was rich without overpowering and the cheese was the right side of mature so it didn't feel like an assault of flavour. On completely a personal note I think I prefer Poutine with fries as it doesn't seem so heavy as it does with chunky chips, but I really enjoyed these all the same! Now, about the Wolf. Toasted brioche bun, Burger, pulled pork, super crispy bacon, American cheese, crispy fried onions with both BBQ sauce AND Nduja Mayo. I want one again right now just writing about it. It was such a good burger. The bun held together perfectly so I didn't end up covered in its mass of contents. The bacon was so crunchy it reminded me of crisps which is just the way I like my bacon. The pulled pork was heaped on generously and added a lovely texture to the burger and the addition of the Nduja Mayo worked really well to cut through all those meaty flavours. When it came time to pay we were those customers who wanted to split the bill as neither of us had thought to get cash, but this was no issue at all for the staff who put through card part payment for us - all with a smile. Even though it was a pretty flying visit this time I really loved BMB and can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu.
BMB sorted us out after a day's wandering around the city - thanks to their offering of five poutine options (the Canadian national dish of chips and cheese curds topped with gravy). Lardy heaven. Though their menu is mainly focused on mahoosive burgers, American-style sandwiches and grilled cheese, once I'd seen poutine mentioned that was all I was interested in troffing; and it was the right decision - not only was Glaspoutine a massive portion and only £5.50, there was a tonne of grated cheddar cheese too, so if you're currently on Weightwatchers it's not a dish for you. Well to be honest, this whole restaurant isn't really for you! Service was friendly and efficient throughout; we were well looked after and despite it being busy not rushed to 'eat and dash'. There were lots of tempting alternatives on the menu so I'll try really hard to order something else that's not smothered in delicious gravy next time!
I left checking here for a few weeks to let the dust settle and in the hope that the teething issues would have been resolved by the time l visited. On arrival l was greeted by a chap who gave me a copy of the menu than explaining items on the menu l was told what they still did not have, no drink was offered until the next member of staff started their shift 20 minutes later, the drinks are served on plastic glasses? What's that all about! I ordered the BBQ brisket on brioche with a side if sweet potato fries, the order did not go out together and had to wait for the fries. I'm not sure why they call it BBQ brisket as what l had was was plain beef that was bland & tasteless there was a lack of seasoning if any, the sweet potato fries had no flavour and lacked in any seasoning. The total food bill was £9.50 that was good value. It's such a shame for the place as it's the small things have let it down. The restaurant area looks good, but staff looked unsure & disoriented. The clock on the wall was still the same time when I arrived it might just have had no battery or just an ornament. I honestly had high expectations of bread meat's bread and just hope that they can turn this around.
I'm not sure how I've never actually reviewed Bread Meats Bread?? It's easily my favourite place for burgers in the city!! The food is perfection. Their Cali burger, with mustard fried patties are out of this world and you can choose to have 2, 3 or 4 of them! I actually have to force myself to order something different sometimes as I could happily order this every single time. But I have ordered other items and enjoyed them all. The brisket sandwich is goooooood, the pulled pork with all the tender stem broccoli is even better. And then there's The Wolf of St Vincent Street - one to order if you're hungry. For a place that gets it's burgers so spot on maybe you're thinking the sides are a bit meh? Nope. Chips & bacon, sweet potato fries, coleslaw all great to share but my favourite are the poutines. I always order the Glaspoutine - chips, gravy, cheese curds and grated cheedar. At £4.50 it's huge and could easily be a meal in itself. The restaurant itself is not that large and usually always busy, expect to wait for a table at peak times but somehow the queue always moves quickly and you're seated scoffing awesome food before you know it! Price wise it's very reasonable for the portion size and the quality of the food. I always leave super happy and wondering when I'll be back for more :) I've taken so many friends to Bread Meats Bread for food whilst they've been visiting Glasgow and they'll all loved it as much as me, which makes me happy. Oh and they do Bostock Bakery doughnuts, the lemon and cinnamon one is divine. read more
I had been trying to make it here for quite a while but hadn't for various reasons, that is, until one fateful night the wife and I along with a couple of friends found ourselves baby free, starving and just round the corner. I love burgers, I could honestly eat burgers every single day (I have the belly to prove that). I love donuts, I could also eat these every day. Put the two together, add in some candied bacon and we have a Luther burger. The sweetness of the donut combines perfectly with the spicy beef mayo and the two thin burgers separated by melted, gooey cheese. Now there is something I have to bring up and it might be an uncomfortable subject for some but it needs to be said. Gents, I'm sure some of you have been told the opposite to this and ladies, you know for sure that this is true... SIZE MATTERS! The only thing that left me a teeny bit disappointed was that next to the wife's Wolf of St. Vincent Street, the Luther was looking a little, well... shrimpy. The service was something to be highly commended! Fast, efficient and friendly. Another visit is already on the cards and I think I'll be going big, it's just a matter or 3x3 or 4x4. read more
So I am a little bit late to this party, but I finally made it to Bread Meats Bread. I have heard so much about the new burger joints in town, I just don't get the same opportunities to get in to the city centre to check these places out since having my daughter last year! So yesterday, on a rare child-free day, hubby and I made our way to Bread Meats Bread for lunch. We were a little disappointed in the sparsity of vegetarian options on the menu for my husband who is vegetarian. Basically, it was grilled cheese, and that was it. I really did expect them to have a couple of veg burger options! However, our server was very helpful, and explained that there will be a new menu launching very soon with more vegetarian options to choose from. If you like meat, then you are spoilt for choice here, from brisket to pulled pork, from classic beef burger to the Red label which is a blend of Scotch beef and spicy Sicilian n'duja pork sausage. I had geared myself up for having the poutine, but the temperature in Glasgow was hot hot hot, and I just couldn't face a big hot serving of chips, curds, and gravy. I opted for a classic cheeseburger, hubby had grilled cheese, and we shared some sides of sweet potato fries, onion rings, and coleslaw. Let's get the not so good bits out of the way, so the grilled cheese being the only vegetarian option on the current menu was really nothing to get excited about. It was described as grilled cheese on artisan bread, though really this was a plain old cheese toastie. I wasn't a huge fan of the coleslaw - very heavy on the mayonnaise, making it rich and sickly. On to the good stuff... Now the sweet potato fries, these were delicious, however they arrived at our table luke warm. I would have really loved these if served at a higher temperature. As delicious as they were, I am not a fan of being served luke warm food. The onion rings were perfect - light crispy batter encasing a ring of soft onion. The cheeseburger was perfect! Beautifully moist and tasty beef burger on a bed of slow cooked onions topped with cheese, enclosed in a pillowy soft brioche bun. I will definitely be back for more of these! The best burger I have had in a while! I loved my experience at Bread Meats Bread, but was a little disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options. I guess we'll just have to go back soon to try out that new menu! :) read more
Bread Meats Bread is my favourite 'BMB' in Glasgow... their adventurous burgers really stand out amongst Glasgow's ever more crowded burger scene. It's definitely more of a "down and dirty" burger joint and has a super cool ambience. My top tip would be to go with some friends... and leave them in the queue (table bookings aren't allowed sadly) whilst you nip across to the Drum & Monkey pub for a pint! Sadly the only thing I can criticise BMB for is its beer range, with the "own brand" beer to be avoided. read more
There have been a lot of mixed reviews regarding this burger joint, and I'm not entirely sure why. With so many similar restaurants popping up, I guess it's hard not to compare one to another, and perhaps that's why Bread Meats Bread has had some negative response. This place quickly became one of my favourite restaurants to go to for a quick bite. Every time we walk in the door, whether it's busy or not, a friendly member of staff is always there to greet us, show us a menu and let us know how long we'll be waiting for a table. I honestly don't mind the wait, especially at peak times, it helps me build up my appetite. Despite the several changes that have been made to the menu since it opened, my favourite remains the same: the Pepperoni Burger. This comes from their 'Red Label' meat, this is a normal beef batty, which has Spicy N'Duja sausage mixed through it - my idea of heaven. It was topped with Spicy Sausage & Pepperoni sauce, mozzarella and actual slices of pepperoni, all sandwiched into a Garlic Brioche bun. The burger was delicious and full of flavour not only from the beef, but the spicy sausage that was flecked throughout the pattie. The bun had a great garlic taste but didn't over power the burger and it all just tasted so darn GOOD. My only qualm would be that the slices of pepperoni on top of the burger were quite salty, which unfortunately did tend to dominate. In the early days when Bread Meats Bread first opened, there were a lot of reviews going around that the Sweet Potato Fries were a bit soggy and not up to much. I can tell you that they have definitely been working to improve the recipe as they are now deliciously crisp and oh so moreish! Every time I go, I always order a side of sweet potato fries - I can rarely finish them though! Even though there can be a long line of people waiting to be seated, I've always felt that the staff are very attentive and never make you feel rushed, which I really appreciate. Honestly, despite the fact there are now four burger chains on that street alone, Bread Meats Bread remains my firm favourite. read more
In recent months there has been a host of new burger spots opening up in Glasgow, the city dubbed the "burger capital of europe". I don't know if that's an official thing but if it is then it's certainly better than Glasgow's other reputation as the stab capital of europe! If Glasgow is the burger capital of europe, then Bread Meats Bread is the jewel in it's crown. I usually keep it simple, can't go wrong with a good cheeseburger but there's all sorts of weird and wonderful burger creations going on. But it's the chips that do it for me, the bacon fries with chilli sriracha mayo are a winner. The poutines are epic too. Cons - I don't like the fish tank windows which display you to passers-by on the street while you eat. And nobody likes queueing but you are guaranteed one at this place. Despite this, the staff are always super friendly, even if there's a queue halfway to Edinburgh they've never made us feel pressured to get out so they can turn the tables. Great service coupled with great grub has put BMB on the map. When it comes to burgers in Glasgow, Bread Meats Bread is the one! read more

We really enjoyed our food ! We just wanted a light bite so split the Jerk chicken BBQ sandwich- BBQ chicken Not BBQ sauce. Like pulled pork in a way. Really good!! The chips were med cut very yummy a great portion to share! We came because they have sweet potatoes chips which I LOVE! But sadly they were out of them! :( sad day! Busy Sunday ! had sold out an hour before they said ;( *Good house beer not very hoppy. Golden. Cool atmosphere. Fun southern decor -rustic wooden tables and benches , dishes and cutlery ! Loved it! will be back again and hopefully next time they will have the sweet potato chips! =) read more
I finally had the chance to try Bread Meats Bread lately... twice. And so glad that I did. The first time I went, I had the jerk chicken barbecue sandwich. I really enjoyed it. Although, it honestly reminded me more of a pulled chicken bbq sandwich from the American South. I wouldn't have thought it was jerk, unless it had actually stated it. It doesn't really seem Caribbean... but it DOES taste super yummy. The next time I visited I tried the Redhead. It's a spiced chicken sandwich. I absolutely LOVED it. AND it was twice as big as I expected... SO good. The service at the restaurant is really friendly and helpful. My only disappointment was that during my first visit they were out of their famous sweet potato fries... but if they're THAT good, then of course they're going to run out. Can't wait to go back. read more
In desperate need of some naughtiness I went in search of burger heaven at BMB. The queue was hugeeee this time. We waited a good 20 minutes for a seat. The food looked insane as it was arriving at the tables around me, so there was no chance I was turning around and going elsewhere. If you don't mind a wait and don't mind being seated by some absolute random - then you'll love this place. As far as burgers go, this place is where it's at! I decided on the full house burger this time - beef patty, beef brisket, crispy fried onions, spicy beef mayo and american cheese. DAYUM! It was honesty amazing. So succulent, juicy and flavourful. I could eat it over and over. I paired it with the delicious bacon fries. These are by far the best bacon fries out there! Super crispy and smoky. YUMMM! Love a BMB date. Until next time! read more
Honestly my favourite burger in Glasgow hands down but in addition to the marvellous meat it is the personal and outstanding service. The staff are so kind to both myself and my family. I really rate a restaurant on how they treat my kids and BMB treats us like family. They truly appreciate and value their customers and I in turn appreciate the experiences they give us. The pretzel roll is back as a special and it made my birthday not to mention the really sweet ice cream with a candle and singing :) read more
With so many burger options in Glasgow, it is very hard to set yourself apart. Bread Meats Bread, although having a similar name to another burger place we know, does it their way with a great menu of different burgers, grilled sandwiches and sides. I think what I like about it the most is that they have a range of burgers for all budgets and appetites, depending on how many and what kind of toppings you want. Their classic burger is only £6! Last time I went I opted for the Black and Blue burger, which is topped with blue cheese, bacon, slow onions, pickles and sauce. They also ask how you want your burger cooked - be it medium or well done. It was delicious, really filling and definitely worth the £8. They also offer a range of chips, including sweet potato fries and poutine, which is perfect if you're feeling a bit delicate! However, the portions are quite big so I would recommend sharing or just getting the burgers/sandwiches. Of the few times I've been I've always been more impressed by the burgers than the chips. The main downside is that they don't offer bookings and be prepared to share a table with strangers like you're at Wagamama if there is only 2 of you. However, it is worth the effort if you're in the mood for a burger or some poutine! read more

Reallllly busy. Long wait. Got there and ordered take away. 1 kids meal, chicken bites, 1 grilled cheese and a pastrami burger. Waited at least 20 minutes. Left. No sauce for my chicken bites, and they're super dry. No kids juice or ice cream for kids meal. My grilled cheese was a grilled cheese. Nothing special, def not worth the trip! read more
This place has been on my list for actual ages. We've tried to go a few times but couldn't get seats - tonight we finally lucked out and were seated right away without a booking. I was happy to see gluten free buns on offer, and while usually I give them a miss, I decided to try one tonight. I ordered the Cali burger (which is somewhat like a rather famous Western US chain's Double Double). I also had to try the bacon chips, which were chips topped with bacon and "beefy" mayo. My veggie partner had the Fun-Guy, a grilled cheese and vegetable sandwich and a side of onion rings. My burger was really good. The bun was soft and light - totally unlike the usual gluten free dense, chewy nightmares most places have. I would return solely to enjoy another burger on that bun. The burger itself was quite good, though I'm sorry to say it doesn't hold up to its US chain inspiration. (Make it animal style and we'll talk.) The bacon chips were massive - a bowl of chips absolutely covered in diced bacon and perfectly topped with beefy mayo - they managed to distribute it in a way that you got a little with just about every bite. Impressive. I definitely feel like I ate a heart attack's worth of grease but it was pretty well worth it for the taste. My partner's sandwich was very buttery, crispy-fried and looked awesome. He says it was good but heavy, due to the butter + mayo + he thought the vegetables might have been fried in oil too. His says the onion rings were good, but combined with the heavy sandwich were a bit too much. I definitely wouldn't eat this way every day, but it was really delicious. I need a nap now... read more

Argh......I'm not really sure about this place. Ok, so the food is delicious. I would even go so far to say that it's one of the best burgers I've had in the city but the service...especially management is lacking big time. Recently, some friends, my boyfriend and I met here for dinner. We were a party of 6 and it was 8pm, so we figured we'd missed the dinner rush and might be able to get a table without waiting too too long. My boyfriend and I arrived first and sat waiting for a table to open up while waiting for our friends to arrive. By the time our friends arrived, a table had yet to open up, which was fine, we were handed menus to look over while we waited. About 10 minutes passed and a 4 seater table opened up and a staff member told us that 4 of us could take a seat and as soon as the table closest to that table opened up, he would pull it over and the other two people could join the table. Since my boyfriend was downstairs in the loo, I waited for him, while the other four went to the table. When my boyfriend came back upstairs, I mentioned to him what was going on and we waited. It was another 15 minutes or so (and many 'what the hell is going on' text messages between me and the table of friends) when the manager came over asking us how many in our party (because there were two other tables towards the front of the restaurant that had opened up). I told her what was going on and she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back and said that she was going to take our order, because she thought the table we were waiting on was paying and leaving and by the time our food would come out, we would be able to join our friends. We were not happy about this, but she took our order anyway. It was another 5 or so minutes before our table cleared and we were able to sit with our friends. What a mess. By the time our food came out, it seemed like we had been waiting for eternity. I ordered the full house which was the burger with pulled pork on it, with a side of sweet potato fries. My boyfriend ordered the cheeseburger with the poutine. Another poutine was ordered, a couple of black and blues and the falafal burger was also ordered. My burger was DELICIOUS. If it had been any less, this night would have been the pits, but it was really great. The bbq on the burger stole the show and will bring my back for many meals to come. The sweet potato fries were meh ok, I make better ones at home. My boyfriends poutine was meh. I'm still not sold on it, but everyone else seems to love it. It was a lot of food- my boyfriend rolled himself out of there, which is odd- he can eat like you wouldn't believe. If it weren't for the food being delicious and my boyfriend and best friends being there, this would have been a pretty crappy review. The management and staff are quite weird and rude at times, the girls working seemed a bit stand-offish and the guys working were gems. read more
It was a 5* for me, but I would give them 10* If possible. I ordered the blue cheese burger and Carlos the Scotlain, and were awesome! Super tasty, perfect meat, same as the toppings and sauces. The staff is really nice, even with the busy restaurant that they usually have. We wait almost 30 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it. I will come back to try other one!! read more
I thought since I have been to BMB now about 100 times since my first review it's time to give it a quick update. I LOVE BMB....like I am madly and passionately in love. The vibe here is cool and hip, and although you will almost always have to wait for a table, the 5-10 minutes wait time will be completely worth it. The staff here are some of my favourite in the city, they always greet me warmly and the service is fast and usually pretty slick. I also really like that they don't have a high turn over of staff cause it shows that BMB treat their staff well. Food wise I think I have pretty much by now tried everything on the menu and would honestly recommend absolutely everything. However special mention has to go to my personal favourites the Pastrami Burger and the signature Wolf of St Vincent Street which is served with American cheese, Crispy Bacon, Pulled Pork in BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions and 'Nduja Mayo...it's amazing! I am also very very partial to their Sweet potato fries and Bacon Chip which is a portion of their already delicious fries topped with deep fried crispy bacon bits and a tangy spicy beef mayo. If you are not in a burger kind of mood the Poutine at BMB is excellent - the gravy is thick, meaty and tastes like heaven, be warned tho this is a meal in it's self and will easily serve as a side between 2 or 3 people. Like I said I LOVE BMB, they are my go to spot when I want a tasty bite and as far as I am concerned the undisputed kings of the Glasgow Burger Wars. read more

So another week and I visited another of Glasgow's notable gourmet burger joints - Bread Meats Bread. We went and had to wait 15 mins for a table - we weren't bothered. By the time we were seated I had decided I wanted the Wolf of St Vincent, a burger lavishly coated in pulled pork. Two of my favourite things in one bun. However, when it finally came it wasn't that great - a relatively bland affair. I mean, I'd go back but I've had better in recent weeks. The chips were ok too, but nothing to write home about and the ice cream dessert was, well, just plain vanilla gelato. read more

Bread Meats Bread holds a dear place in my heart, as it was the very first restaurant I went to in Glasgow before moving here. I was visiting from Dundee to see a gig at King Tuts. The next day hungover and nearly dead I saw greasy beautiful burgers staring at me through a small window on St Vincent St. I followed my heart and it led me to greatness... Bread Meats Bread has mighty fine burgers. Mighty fine burgers that come in different options with different specials popping up once in a while. Each option, will bring a burger lover joy, as they're good quality, just greasy enough, and put together for ultimate tastiness. For me, the cali burger is a go to, and definitely a good burger to start with for a newcomer. On the other hand, if you're a burger connoisseur you might want to up for an option covered in pulled pork like the wolf or get a nice big side of poutine (fries covered in delicious things.) Really though, their food is freakin delicious, and you should try it. Now being the small square of a restaurant it is Bread Meats Bread, can (and will be) crammed. Having been there many times I can tell you it is unlikely you won't have to wait for a table, unless it's an odd time of day. With that being said, the staff are great and will get you a clean table as fast as possible, especially if you're nice and friendly. Once you're sitting you may feel a bit rushed, but don't let that stop you from enjoying your meal. The staff are just trying to do their best to get everyone a seat. I promise if you sit back and relax, you will eat your burger and you will like it. Overall, on a street in the city centre full of burgers, Bread Meats Bread is by far your best option. You might not get the best restaurant experience of your life, but it's possible you'll get the best burger of it. read more

While I have always had to wait for a table, its always been worth it. If you are worried about the portions not being able to fill you up, don't be. These burgers are surprisingly filling and there are some wonderful sides. My favourite so far has to be the mobster burger. A tender mince with hints of spicy pepperoni. Each bite brings a new flavour to hit your tongue, from the fresh basil top down to the creamy mascarpone base. read more

Been to this place on four occasions and I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else now in the City Centre! It's perfect for a girly catch up at lunch and even a cosy date with your boyfriend too. So I'll talk a bit about each occasion to give you more insight on my impression! On the first occasion my boyfriend had taken me for dinner, after recommendation by my friend. The place was really welcoming, rustic looking and all in all lively! Great atmosphere. I ordered one of the pulled chicken sandwiches and my boyfriend ordered a burger. The staff were lovely and attentive, you might even say a bit excessive sometimes! When the food arrived we were extremely pleased by the portion size! Rather large, which is amazing for the price and the quality was exceptional! Both me and my other half were delighted and swore to come back again. The total bill ended up around £20 ish, with drinks and a side of chips included. We left extremely happy and full! The second occasion, I returned with my boyfriend on a Sunday on the off chance that they would still be open. We arrived at quarter to eight, which was actually 15 minutes before closing time! We were about ready to leave when we were told this by the staff but were in fact told there was a table available. Well I have to say, we wished that we never stayed :( We were seated and then asked to order, which was no problem! When our food arrived the portion size was tiny and looked like it had been slopped onto the plate. We were not impressed at all. We much rather would have left and went elsewhere instead of having this horrible experience! We were so sad. My boyfriend since hasn't been back, which is a shame however I returned with one of my friends on the third occasion hoping that we just caught them on a bad day. I was so glad I went back! Absolute perfection again, just need to win my boyfriend over again! So I am a regular from now on and always will be unless the food quality deteriorates or else the portions get smaller! GO AND TRY THIS PLACE! Just not on a Sunday near closing time :-)! read more
The falafel burger being one of the main vegetarian options virtually chose itself and I wasnt disappointed. The garlicky hummous guaranteed things would get a little messy but it was a price worth paying. Pickled dill was the perfect foil for the falafel and lifted the bun and filling to another level. Add to that some of the best chips Ive ever tasted and friendly efficient service and I was a happy bunny. The falafel burger itself was a little hard in a few places but overall an excellent first visit. Recommended! read more
Since my first review, I have been back several times and I have to be honest, I've had burgers ever since. My hands down favourite burger is the 2x2 Cali burger because of the sauce and the amazingness. I can't say why, but I think everybody should have it. for people that are hungrier than I am, have the bigger versions, the 3x3 or massive 4x4, you will not regret it! The one time I was here, the South African had the Burger Van Burger and was so kind to let me try it - it is delicious. Think McDonalds cheeseburger but authentic and better. I think that will be the one I have next time I go. I've also had the cheeseburger, but unfortunately it is a little uninspired, especially compared to the other burgers on the menu. A dish that is far from being uninspired, however, are the caramelised sweet potato fries. I admit I was apprehensive, but bloody hell, they are brilliant. Note to the wise, however, they are very sweet. Make sure you have the bacon cheese fries too so that you can balance out the sweetness ;) read more
I am not going to enter the great Burger debate in Glasgow.. My first love of burgers goes to 7Bone down South. Anyway, Saturday night and the queue as ever was out the door. Howver, my friend and I spotted a table outside and since the sun was shining we thought why not! The service was quick and friendly, although it is a bit funny/odd having the table inside looking out the window at you eating. I had the cheesburger with cajun mayo and sweet potato fries. The fries were really good, but they did go cold quite quickly with us being outside and 1 portion of fries between two would have been enough! The burger was the perfect size to eat without your jaw hurting and wasn't too greasy :) read more

Favourite burger place in Glasgow! Their burgers are sooo good! I chose the Caliburger 2x2, you'd be surprised at how big the burger is! I wasn't as hungry as I normally am so I ordered the smallest size but I was stuffed by the end! I'm so glad I asked the waitress which size would be suitable. You go for a 3x3 if you are pretty hungry and you go for a 4x4 if you are starving! You can choose how well you want your meat to be done, we both chose medium and it came out a nice pink in the middle. I liked how there wasn't too much juice in the meat since if there was, it would make the bun too soggy towards the end. The other burger we had was the Full House Burger, I only had a bite of it but the braised pulled pork was really easy to chew and full of flavour, would be worth a try if you didn't want to just go for a normal cheeseburger! We also ordered the sweet potato poutine, which is basically sweet potato fries, gravy and cheese, it was a combination of sweet and salty but it surprisingly matched well! However, if you don't like your fries dipped in that much gravy, this might not be the dish for you, but if you do like gravy and chips, what are you waiting for? If you come visit Glasgow, this restaurant should be on your checklist of things to eat! It does get pretty packed though so there might be a little wait, but normally it doesn't take long, probably only 5-10 mins, go try it :)! read more

Greeted by a friendly waitress on arrival and given a choice of window or bench, it would have been a bit goldfish bowl-like perched in the window on my own but no doubt I'd have been oblivious in company. With seating for around 50 it's popularity or attraction was quickly proved when I arrived for an early lunch at 11. 30am. Left for a few moments without anyone 'hovvering', which I dislike, it was pleasant and prompt service once I'd decided. I took the Blue cheese burger with a side of sweet potato fries, which left me to sip my diet coke for only about ten minutes whils it was all freshly prepared. On arrival and commencing to eat the simple presentation shows that this place is all about the taste experience. Delicious crispy yet soft centred and dry fries and a great tasting seasoned burger. Just enough sauce without overflowing and the 'shrooms were delicious in the medley of the toppings. Like MacArthur said, "I shall return".... read more

Everything here I tried was delicious! We ordered the buffalo chicken poutine. Make sure you come when it's not too busy. We waited around 25 minutes and I think that was worth it. It's heavy food, so account for that too. The milkshakes are delicious, and I would recommend sharing one in addition to your meal. The poutine is probably heavier than you think it's gonna be. read more
When I left Montreal to come study in Glasgow I was incredibly excited for the opportunity and couldn't wait to explore Scotland. However, I was a bit worried about the food scene. For anyone who has visited Montreal, it has one of the best food scenes and some of the most creative restaurants in the world. The thing I thought I was going to miss the most was Poutine. That classic Quebec only French fries (chips) covered in gravy and cheese curds. It is heaven in a plate and although they may serve it in other cites there is no where better to get poutine than in the city that created it, Montreal. Then I found bread meats bread. This small restaurant is always busy and has a great atmosphere. Also it has the greatest burgers in Galsgow it also offers incredible milkshakes and low and be hold POUTINE! Yes this little restaurant not only has poutine but some of the best poutine I have ever had ! It even gives some Montreal restaurant a run for their money! Besides the poutine, the burger menu is amazing especially the Luther burger ! And always ask about their specialty milkshakes. I got the Nutella milkshake today topped with a giant Nutella doughnut! read more

My faith in the burger as a decent dish in Glasgow took a battering last week so on New Year's Eve my wife said that we should head to Bread Meats Bread. I am very pleased she did. We were welcomed by a very smiley waitress and we were given a seat along the centre table as we waited for our third person to arrive. Not the best seat by far but we spied a booth becoming vacant, asked if we could move and the friendly staff obliged with no bother at all. We ordered drinks, soft, on draught and when our third person arrived we ordered food. The only tiny thing I can suggest if they read this is to fine tune the syrup levels on the drinks machine as it was a touch on the heavy side! I ordered the FullHouse and a side of chips. My wife a Classic and our friend a Bacon & Cheese. When it arrived in front of me I knew I had been both advised and had chosen well. The FullHouse comes with cheese, bbq sauce, bacon bits and a slightly heavenly slice of Brisket on it. I had expected a bit of meat on top of the patty but this was a generous slice and was utterly delicious. The patty itself was soft, seasoned and extremely good. I hate pickles so had asked for it without and they had obliged me. This burger was just great and restored my faith in good burgers. Ok, I am over egging the pudding as I know there are decent burger joints all over Glasgow but I had been very disillusioned at a previous meal. My side, chips at £2.50 a serve were exactly as they should be. Crisp, hot, tasty and in decent quantity. My friend had the sweet potato fries caramelised with maple syrup, they were pretty amazing too. For the three of us, burgers and a side and 5 soft drinks between us came in at £37. I didn't mind that at all, it is good value for money in an independent place with high quality food, great friendly (and while very busy) staff with a clear vision of where it wants to go. Check this place out, you won't regret it! I will be going back when I get the chance. read more
Excellent meal. Both the pastrami and chicken sandwiches were fantastic. Only down side was the rubber like cheese in the chips and poutine, but we are not use to it here in the uk. Skip the chips and have yourself great food!! Seevice was friendly. A bit warm in the resteraunt - time to put the AC on. read more

Amazing food. The service was a bit rushed, which is understandable since the restaurant was so full. I recommend the poutine and any of the burgers. read more
