Based in the middle of Gloucester road, it has a fair bit of competition. In fact, over the last few years there have been quite a few burgers restaurants open in Bristol, but Atomic Burger offer a really different, fun experience. First things first; the restaurant is comic book themed. Everything from the walls, floor, menu and windows is covered in marvel-style comic book pictures. That obviously makes it a great place to take kids, but you'll also find lots of couples, groups and students. It's probably not the best place for a business lunch. Me and my girlfriend went for the first time yesterday and it was great to sit outside and make the most of the sun. We sat on the same table as another couple and got chatting to them. They had been to Atomic Burger MANY times and were on a quest to try every burger on the menu. If you do then you get 20% off for 12 months. Just ask for a sticker after your meal and if you collect them all you get the life discount. The couple both had cocktails that had a bottle of Sol larger upside down in the glass - I didn't care what it was, I wanted one! After ordering "whatever they've got" it turned out to be a 'largerita' which was SO good! The Sol slowly tops up your margarita as you drink - genius! I'm a sucker for a gimmick! The menu is big and actually a little bit confusing. I went with the LLAP: beef burger, pulled chicken, blue cheese sauce, Louisiana hot sauce and spring onion. It was amazing! I had the garlic and chilli fries which were also really good. The best thing for me though, was the beavers jalapeño mustard. Mmmm, beavers jalapeño muuuustard!! A must try if you like spicy food. We left, met some friends at another bar, and then went back to Atomic Burger to show them the largeritas. I'm not sure if I'll eat there enough times to get the 20% life discount, but I'll definitely be back!

The food isn't exactly diet friendly, but who goes to a burger joint for salad? There's absolutely loads of choice so you can pretty much have anything you want on top of your burger, and you have the choice of chicken, beef or veggie. All the burgers are named after famous characters and the menu looks great. There's some crazy drinks on there too - from bacon milkshakes to lageritas (a personal fave!) My boyfriend ordered the hot chicken wings recently. He was warned they were extremely hot but he can handle spice so he went for it anyway! What followed was hilarious! One bite and he was sweating, dizzy, couldn't feel his lips and not feeling so clever anymore. We since found out they are made with three of the hottest chillies on earth! They had over a million Scoville units! They do takeaway if you don't want to sit in (or you've got someone you can send to pick it up and bring it to you in bed with a hangover!) They also do a mean hotdog! I had a hotdog with red onions, American cheese sauce and pulled pork the other day and it was yummy! It's quite a lot of money for what it is (£10ish a burger) but you get a naughty, messy meal that's delicious! I took my 12 year old nephew and he loved it because it's something a bit different! My 30 yr old mates also love it for the same reason.

The only issue here was the fact that it's full of uni kids filling the room with either sounds of gender fluid dolphins or how drunk they were last night... I get it though, in a uni city like Bristol you absolutely want to attract that clientele as it's a strong market demographic. Staff were fab, food was great, prices are decent. Can't fault the place really!

The Burger Joint is amazing. You get to choose exactly what kind of burger you want with tick box sheets and pencils given to you as you sit down (think ordering breakfast to the room in a hotel and you get the idea) and it means there are literally thousands of different meal options available, something for everyone! The quality of the ingredients is superb and full of flavour and texture, I can honestly say it was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and the sweet potato fries are to die for. The ambience is warm and the dimmed lighting makes it feel intimate and a great place for couples or groups of friends to relax and enjoy a good meal together. The service is attentive and relaxed, adding to the overall excellent experience.

They…read moreordered the dirty fries, which seemed risky, I mean there really is a mixture of things that normally don't go on fries. Whoever invented these knew the perfect combination of flavors though, they were fantastic!! I also ordered the Rodeo burger (before I knew how big the fries were) and that was the best burger I've ever had, just amazing. We sat outside on a long picnic table because all the tables were full inside. There were already people sitting there and it was so nice to speak to people in the community and get to know them. We made sure to stop back by the Hobgoblin on our way out of town and plan to go next time we visit!

So, it seems the Hobglobin hasn't been reviewed for around 4 years, and oh my, in that time, it got…read moregooood! After a brief name change and temporary vacancy, the Hobglobin is back. And it's back with BIG food. Although pulled pork is 'in' at the moment, the Hobgoblin do it very well. Huge rolls filled with Mexican marinated pork with slaw and pickles on the side. As well as the big pulled pork rolls they do mountain sized burgers that look deliciously threatening; cheese rolling down the sides and buns shining from the grease. But the best thing on the menu is the 'Dirty, dirty fries' which were 'born out of a hangover'. The Dirty, dirty fries are a huge mix of fries, pulled pork, melted cheese and spicy sauces. They really are amazing! The Hobgoblin has a food challenge called 'The Kraken'. I can't remember everything that's on it but it involves lots of meat, dirty fries and chicken wings. I don't think anyone has completed it within the hour yet. Their pulled pork is smoked on site, burgers homemade and meat locally sourced from a Gloucester Road butcher. Probably bought with Bristol pounds and wrapped in an evening post, too! The decor is casual and the bar serves your normal lagers, beers, ciders, cocktails and shots. While the emphasis is on the food at the Hobgoblin, you'll still find a few groups just there for drinks. This isn't a first date place but it is a great place to meet mates and tuck into great, dirty food.

This was my fifth visit to one of my favourite restaurants. I deliberately travel out of my way to…read moreeat here. The restaurant has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and serves up an American-style BBQ menu. Portion sizes are big and the quality of the meat is never in doubt. On this visit I discovered their chicken wings, which have to be the best chicken wings I've had in the UK, and I'm struggling to remember any wings sampled in the U.S. that would beat them! The secret is definitely in the coating - I'm just gutted I didn't discover them sooner! Their southern fried chicken burger is my favourite burger from here, however unfortunately on this occasion they served it with blue cheese on top rather than the regular cheese I asked for. No problem though, they were more than happy to make a fresh burger which was just as delicious as always. The Surf, Bird & Turf Combo and BBQ Ribs are also great choices. My biggest plus about this place though is their fries; the best fries I've ever eaten. Consistently awesome on every visit, beautifully crispy and well-seasoned. Big 5 stars from me as I've had 5 fantastic meals here, and they have Brahma on tap which is a bonus.

The response from the female was: Your ordered through a third party (Menulog) so the order being incorrect is theor problem, which it isn't. She then said we can't do anything about it, so I can't help you, then told me to order the entire meal again and request a refund from Menulog. This business has made an error once before when they gave is an egg and bacon burger despite paying for a works hamburger. basically, absolutely pathetic customer service and we will not be using this business again. we should have went to their competitors over the road as others told us to do, that will be our to do in future.

Sylvia's takeaway is just over from Broadmead on Old Market Street. As such, it's more directed to…read morethe locals than the general masses of takeaway devourers commonly seen in town. It's pretty standard takeaway, with an emphasis on fried chicken. I got a chicken burger when I came, and it was neither good nor bad - just pretty average.

And honestly, it pretty much does what it says on the tin. Yes, it's called Lick'n Chick'n, so top-quality establishment it is not. In fact, you'll sometimes find that they used the less desirable parts of the chicken for your burger, but then it'll only cost you a couple of quid, so you pay for what you get, I suppose. The best thing (well, depending on your perspective) is that they genuinely offer a Lick'n Kiddies Meal - ha ha ha! If you don't believe me, check the photos. Other than this, they do the standard selection of chips, vegeburgers (don't bother with these, my girlfriend said) and fizzy drinks. Let's face it, though, you won't go here unless you're very drunk and then you probably won't care.
