    INCREDIBLE Burgers, fries, drinks and customer service! Visiting from California, heard that burgers were a must try while in Ireland and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT We got the BOB, the Smokester, the Bitburger Lager, chicken strips and the parmesian bacon friend and would recommend all of them. Enjoy

    Holy guacamole,(I am from Texas)! I mean, burger! The husband is always looking for a burger and every now and then I have to indulge him and so glad I did. I had the smash patty and it was divine. So flavorful, with the perfect crunchy fattiness that is a must in a smash burger. I don't normally choose to have bread and butter pickles as I don't like the sweetness but these were a perfect sweet and vinegar bite. We also had the fries with parm, garlic aoli and bacon lardon- yum, yum! Note: This is the only restaurant so far that we've encountered in Ireland that asked for a tip on the credit machine.

    Handsome burger and cider.

    I've been to 15 countries and 45 out of 50 states in the U.S and this was one of the best burgers of my life! Friendly and fast service. 5-10 minute walk from shop street. A Handsome burger with cheese is a definite must if in Galway.

    Smokestack?

    If you know me, you know I LOVE hamburgers. This place did not disappoint. We happened by on two separate occasions, the first time we were too intoxicated to give a fair assessment the second time it was pure delight. Fresh potato buns and gluten free or vegan buns. I had the Smokester (?) without cheese but with bacon, delicious and my husband had the Handsome burger double meat. WOW! So good. Fresh & hot. Definitely recommend if you are looking for hamburgers. Service is quick and helpful. Not a very big place so go early. Well worth the wait.

    Catching up on Yelp reviews as I visited Handsome Burger as I visited in October. Handsome Burger is rated as one of the best burgers in Ireland and I think it definitely lived up to the hype. The place is medium size with a very casual contemporary atmosphere. I arrived around 17:30 on a Friday night and I was able to get seated right away. There were people already there and somewhat busy. Prices were relatively cheap at less than €25 for burger, fries, sauces, and a coke. The potato bun was super soft and fresh. There was absolutely no seasoning on the burger and it was cooked to medium well perfection and it was super juicy. Toppings were so good and the bacon was to die for! The sticky onions, pickle, and handsome sauce had great flavor and was very well balanced. Fries were seasoned and crisp to almost perfection. Garlic aioli was very good. Bun: 9 Burger: 10 Toppings: 9 Overall: 9.33 Fries: 9 Sauces: 8 Overall, Handsome Burger is rated the best burger in Ireland and I actually think it was the best burger that I have ever had! I have many more places in the US to try, but this one definitely is on top of my list! I would have never thought I would find the best burger in Galway!

    Delicious!!!!!! It has been voted one of the best burgers in Ireland and I understand why. It was absolutely delicious and juicy. This is a MUST TRY while in Galway.

    Great service, really good fries and of course burgers. We stopped in quick during a tour and were in and out before we knew it.

    Delicious burgers and fries, excellent service and great prices. Would make this place a habit if I didn't live in the United States.

    Amazing burgers! This must have been the best burger I've ever had. And the chips... and the milk…read moreskake... Everything was perfect! Five stars!

    Could I rank this lower than one star?? I would. For those of you that won't read a long review…read more.. here's the short story: service sucked, they gaslighted me when they got my order wrong, wildly inefficient in ordering made you pay BEFORE the meal and then also kicked us out after we told them their signage for their specials was wrong. Avoid, leave, run... don't go. So many better places to go, I had a large group and none of us will ever go back. First of all... sat down to order which took 20m. They got our drink order, then came back and took our food order, THEN came back to make us pay for our food individually which meant she had to get our food order AGAIN! Took 20m to just get our order. Then, they had 3 specials on the menu... none of which they had available. One special hand out of a burger they don't make, a hot wings challenge they don't do anymore but have signs for and a sign out front advertising a burger they don't have available. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it came out fried. Which was not on the menu. Then they told me the chef made it right and that everyone loves it fried so I should just eat it. When I asked for something different she said they would charge me for it. Another friend had her burger and it made her stomach upset for 3hrs afterwards. We leave, make a comment about the sign outside that said they don't have the specials they are advertising and they said they just don't have it "today". Which means you still don't freaking have it!?! So take the sign down it's false advertising. Then the server just said "it's fine. Bye." And closed the door in my wife's face. Soooooo... never going back. You shouldn't either. If I could give it negative stars I would.

    Great place for brunch in Galway!!! Went there a couple of times - tried their sandwiches, burgers…read moreand salads! Everything is very delicious, only downside is the service! Food takes quite long until it's arrives, most of the time there are things missing like cutlery or just table water. If they improve the service and maybe add a person to their staff they will do great!

    I love this cafe, it's right beside the G hotel near the Eye cinema and they have a lot on the…read moremenu, and have some great coffee too! The inside is really big and spacious with lots of tables making it great for large groups, and well lit with the large windows. They also sell goods like honey, chocolate, biscuits, oats, various sauces and teas, oil etc. They also have a refrigerated section for coconut water and soft drinks. I love the salads here, and they have a lot of healthy stuff too in addition to the sandwiches, burgers etc. The breakfast is served from 9am-5pm, and the pancakes are the best!! The lunch menu has a good amount of fish dishes, like fish cakes, salmon burger, salad... And a few vegetarian stuff too albeit quite limited, but the tofu salad is really nice! There's also a roast menu, side orders, burger and sandwich menu. The coffee here is made to perfection! I loved the flat white here, which is served in a glass instead of a cup. You can also have it with soya or coconut milk for an extra 30 cent. The prices are pretty average; expect to pay at least about €9-12 per person for a main. The soup changes daily and is 4.95, and there's also seafood chowder. Compared to the more pricy G hotel, the G counter is nice cheaper lunch alternative for a quick bite!
