The Scarlet Vetter says...we went in search of a great burger in Dublin. Sooooo many choices. After…read morereading about a gazillion Yelp reviews, we decided on Bujo. Boasting the best of Irish beef and a "nothing but burgers" menu, we headed off to this iconic Dublin burger joint. It is surely no frills. Tucked in the wall, no elegance to speak of, BUT they are all about the burgers, for sure. I ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon (after all, if going for a cardiac arrest burger, you need to do it proud) and the crinkle cut Bujo fries. I asked for the three sauce selection and chose Siaracha Mayo, Burbon BBQ and the Roasted Garlic Aioli. I ordered a draft beer. IMHO, a burger without a beer in Ireland is sacrilegious. My husband, being the pagan he is, opted for a chocolate milkshake with oreo crumbs (what??) The joint has a condiments bar where you can add jalapeños, crispy onions and other such to your meal. It is self serve for ordering and you are given a table placard for the table to await a server who does bring your meal. The burgers were distinctly charbroiled and flavorful. The fries were.....well, meh.....the sauces definately added value to the fries. The sliced jalapeños were delicious, as were the sauces. I really enjoyed them. I would have given this place four stars for being in the keeping of what it is--a hole in the wall burger joint. However, for someone who is not price sensitive on food at all, I was a bit taken aback by the price. In USD, essentially $65 for two burgers, two decent drinks and 2 fries. That was with tip, but wilthout VAT. The table was sticky and the bathroom was dingy. So the 3 stars is about right. I would definately recommend this place for a good burger but be prepared to carry a loaded wallet and skip the drinks and sauces to keep it affordable.

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.

All the food was hot, the burger was well prepared and juicy, the tenders were crisp and well fried. Price was solid given the quality and serving size.

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.

Heaven help me for patronizing an American chain eatery (even a relatively good one) while…read morevacationing abroad, but the reality of travelling with a large group is that sometimes you have to play the middle of the road. 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.

I believe we grabbed a table just shortly after they opened for the day as staff seemed disorganized and they had just printed their specials for the day. Prices were a little steep so I didn't get an alcoholic beverage, the wine looked and sounded great though! I did try their soup and ordered the hummus plate since their only other veg option sounded spicy. The food was fresh and good, mushroom soup was just OK. I wish they'd served the side of bread with some butter. The coffee machine was being serviced while we were there and it was amusing to hear all the locals trying to order coffee and being told no in various ways by each employee. A nice location with a clean and bright dining space.

The restaurant was certainly busy with the lunch crowds, but it wasn't overly noisy or packed. We were seated immediately and had a chance to place our orders quickly as well. 2 of us ordered the Fish and Chips which wasn't the smartest decision. The dish itself was HUGE. We would have been just fine splitting 1 between the 2 of us had we known. No complaints here. Everything was spot on taste-wise, and both of our plates came with a ton of fries (in addition to a decent portion of mushy peas). My other colleague ordered the pasta special of the day and wasn't necessarily thrilled with it, but maybe she just ordered the wrong thing? Ambiance was impeccable, a pure 10/10. The area has a ton of natural light and is super inviting. The decor is sophisticated and really adds to the overall 5 star feel. The location was super convenient for us. We were staying at the Clayton Hotel so we were just steps away. The restaurant is also conveniently located near a bus stop in case you are looking to visit and need public transport. Would certainly recommend!

It's food has been average and the atmosphere always bearable, but the main attraction was the convieniece of being able to quickly grab a burger when there's nothing at home in the fridge. On several occasions they have messed up the order which would be my first problem. Although this was incredibly irritating I never saw too much of a reason to complain as I know myself for several years working at McDonald's. However today as I got of my bus outside and went in to order I encountered a problem that was pushing the line from irritating to infuriating. I had left my wallet at home and only had 7 euro. Quickly scanning the menu I realized it would make more sense for me buy a kids meal than just a normal burger as it the kids meal would come with a small drink and fries aswell. Now never in my time at McDonald's has there ever been an age cap on whoever wants to buy a happy meal. I have never asked someone for id to prove there age, but yet as I placed this order at wowburger to a blonde women (about 5'6 with a fake blonde hair) that claims her name is teressa she looked at me awe struck. She then proceeded to ramble on that since I am not a kid I shouldn't be able to buy something that is on there menu. What good financially this is doing to wowburger I don't know. "The customer is always right" was how the saying went at macdonalds and it was by that motto that we live and breathed, yet of course at a ultra hipster metropolitan rip off five guys establishment such as wowburger I'm not all that suprised at the levels of entitlement that the employees have.
