Burger time!
Ellen S.

How, oh how did I never got a Ricks burger in the 14 years that I have lived in Dublin? What's wrong with me? This was one damn fine cheese burger, and checking in at only 6 euro. Things got a bit messy though as my burger was drowned in ketchup and mayo. My burger started to fall apart half way through due to all those sauces. But...after a few pints...and not having had any substantial to eat all day, I can tell you this burger was almost like a gift from God!

Step in the door anytime after midnight on a weekend night and Rick's will be hopping. It is perfectly positioned to soak up late night revellers spilling out of the city centre's pubs and clubs. It is a smooth operation and staff members have cleverly equipped themselves with a 'number allocation system' and a microphone to bring order to the frightening drunken mass that descends on them at the witching hour. Friendly chat is guaranteed and the odd sing-song may occur - I was once treated to a startlingly accurate rendition of "oh, bodyform. Bodyform for you...." (remember the ad) by a determined karaoke king who grabbed the mic from an unsuspecting employee! As the name might suggest, burgers are a popular choice. They look homemade, meaty and hearty but I opt for the garlic-cheese chips every time. I can definitely vouch for them at 3am, it might be a different story in the cold light of day. The décor is shiny and diner-esque. You may find the bright lights a little too much after a few pints in a dark corner but you can hardly blame Rick's for that!

Fried mushrooms and cheese fries!

There's nothing like Rick's after a night out. Must have's are the burger, the fried mushrooms and the cheese fries. It's junk food but it always tastes fresh. The garlic dipping sauce is to die for! It's almost like garlicky sour cream. They grate the cheese fresh. It get's pretty packed after the bars close but it's super slow in the afternoon.

Rick's Burger harks back to a simpler time when to be called a burger it didn't need to be harrisa spiced, smothered with marmalade, sandwiched between a brioche roll and impaled with a wooden skewer. Rick's is a fast food joint that serves tasty classic burgers, it's simple menu means you won't be long choosing what to have. The burgers are how I imagine joints in 50's America, they are super tasty and the meat seems to be of a good quality. A meal (incl chips and drink) comes to €7 to €9 and the chips are very good. As far as fast food burger joints go, I'm a fan of this one!

The outside of the building.

So let me start with the positive about this place, the burger I had was absolutely delicious and pretty reasonably priced being under 10 euro. Also the garlic fries were yummy, the bad in short is that it took me a really long time to get to those fries. I substituted regular fries for cheese fries with garlic and paid an extra €2 for it although was disappointed to find the cheese didn't come melted. I asked them to melt it on it and the woman got obviously upset and said they don't have a microwave. I asked her if she could just set it under the heat lamp for the fries to at least soften it and she agreed. She then did not do so (I could see from where I was sitting) and she brought them back, I apologized and politely asked if she she was unable to melt it if I could just have fries without cheese and she was visibly angry having rolled her eyes at myself and my friend before chucking them in the garbage with a fair amount of force. She continued to glare at us and stare while we ate and it was really uncomfortable. When we went to leave and I returned the trays I asked what her name was to which she responded "why?" before she then just said no, clearly because she knew I was going to complain to the owner or write a review due to her outlandish behavior. All in all, the good was great, but definitely not worth the way you're treated to get it. I will never be back to this place and I urge others to avoid it, there are plenty of places in Dublin where you can get great food without sacrificing service.

Rick's is the best. Orgasmic post club, pub, mass, nuclear fallout food. And I dare anyone to dispute it.

You need to be very drunk to eat here. Luckily, most of the people who eat here are very drunk.

The burgers there are sooo good, probably the best burgers in Dublin, it's amazing that more people don't eat in there when they're sober.

Bunsen - Double burger

When traveling we always try to eat the local cuisine. Ireland is known for its grass fed high…read morequality beef among other things. During our research before we left we saw a video talking about Bunsen. Just seeing the high quality of the ingredients made it one of our must try stops in Dublin. As we do when traveling, we start and end the day eating throughout the day. We popped into Bunsen to finally try the legendary burger around 4:30 pm. Because we were there at such an odd hour, we were the only people there. When you visit Ireland, the pub culture is real and most pubs start to get quite busy around 5:30 pm. Since Bunsen isn't a pub and wasn't located in a particularly touristy area , it didn't surprise me they were empty at that time of day. What stuck out the most at first was the super friendly service right from the door. We were sat at a small banquet of tables against the wall and checked out the menu from QR code link on the table. We were there for their original burger so that is what we ordered. No sides and water to drink. I couldn't be filling up too much yet. It was pretty early after all and we had a lot of places to stop yet. The menu isn't huge. They focus on doing one thing well and keep it at that. I like a restaurant that doesn't try to be everything. Our burger came out within 10 min and it was juicy, hot and fresh. Presented beautifully wrapped. We shared this one burger because, we knew we had lots of food to eat later. Immediately after eating the last bite I wanted to order another. It was really that good. Such perfection! This will be the burger I compare all others in Ireland to.

Camden Rotisserie - Southern fried chicken burger, very nice

Was wandering on the street after a stressful Monday and bumped into this American Southern style…read morechicken and beer place. Casual decor, open kitchen and beer fridge, lighting was on the dim side. Had a Pitburger pilsner beer. Although a bottle beer, it was very crisp, malty, clean, and a bit sweet, very suitable summer drink. Also had a Southern fried chicken burger. Chicken was fried very nicely, the crust was crispy but not overly hard, inside was juicy and piping hot fiber, nicely seasoned with a bit of spices, went very well wtih the fresh veggies and sauce in the burger. The buns were soft and warm, though I might want it toasted a bit more. Also the price might be slightly on the high side (€11.95) for a standard size burger. Nonetheless, taste matters the most.

The restaurant is quite small and there are long tables that they seat parties together at. We had to squeeze in the middle which was fine just a bit hot and cramped. The chicken was well seasoned on the burgers but the bun was wayyy too much bread, could use a different bun we think. They do offer everything in a bowl which is nice so would probably do that rather. The onion rings were also super good. Guessing the man working the room was the owner as he seemed invested and seemed to know some of the customers. All in all good food and we'd give it another go.

The Counter - Party of 14, easily accommodated. Everyone happy. Delicious array or burgers with unlimited combinations. Highly recommended

With vegetarians and other conservative eaters in our party, we found this place a godsend for a midafternoon pre-Trinity-College-sightseeing meal. Actually, it's pretty good on its own merits. I've eaten at other Counters and I like the setup...but there are too many choices! Patty, bun, cheese, toppings, and sauce. So many options! But if you enjoy culinary creativity and/or control, you will not go wrong here. The sides are good too, except that they were out of fried pickles. Sad face. We enjoyed regular fries, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their burgers, so the meal was a success. Ironically, The Counter has table service, so it's not quite as quick as you might hope. But their sodas are from a fountain (yay, American style) so you can get refills. Plus, a bonus--their soundtrack of classic rock and respectable 80s and 90s tunes inspired at least four individuals in our multigenerational group to sing at various times. Clearly, they are all about variety.

Giant bottle of Staropramen for a good price rounded out the positives attributes of my meal. Hubs' sweet potato fries were the 2nd best I've ever had (after the defunct 501 Club in Minneapolis). Unfortunately the rest of the meal was overrun with immense amounts of oil. My burger bun arrived. It was the color yellow and the consistency of a soggy sponge. That means somebody dipped it in Golden-Flo cooking oil before crisping it back up. Yes, it tastes delightful...the same way deep-fried Twinkies taste delightful. The guilt of eating it manages to cancel out the enjoyment. Also ruined by oil were the onion STRINGS. Confession: I thought they were onion rings. With just an 'R'. I was duped and disappointed when the STRings arrived looking all skinny and limp. Sure, they were promisingly covered in tasty batter...but as soon as I grabbed the first one, the underneath strings crunched the pile, which subsequently disintegrated into an oily pile of fried dough and stringy onion film on the plate. Not cool. The oil-to-food ratio ended up leaving me with hours of tummy feelings the equivalent to a brick buried in a pit thrown into a black hole. Had to take a dinner coma nap on the couch when I got home. Oh and I am from California so I am allowed to say this: For a California-based and California-themed restaurant, it feels nothing like California. This place feels vapid and sterile and I would never call California sterile. Vapid, maybe. Not sterile.

Served in true fast food joint style, fries on paper plates and tightly wrapped bundle containing the burger. Washing up overhead nil. We both had cheeseburgers with handcut fries after agonising for literally seconds over our choice. Service was brisk and meals appeared within a few minutes. I have a 'thing' about burgers. I like my steaks medium rare but I always insist on a well-done burger for hygiene reasons which, in fairness, this was. My companion had ordered hers medium but it looked very much on the rare side to both of us but she was happy enough. Frankly, I thought it was all pretty meh. Nothing memorable or good enough to drag me back. The burger bun did maintain structural integrity throughout the process which was a plus but the whole thing was decidedly only ok. It was cheap, however, so there's that. Apparently, they have long waits at busy times. No idea why and I'd be furious if I had had to wait in line for a mediocre burger.
