10 Life-Changing Burgers To Eat In Glasgow

Glasgow has gone crazy for burgers. Here's James vs. Burger's guide to some of the city's best.

1. The 'Durty Burger' from Bar Bloc

No, 'Durty' isn't a typo. That's just how they do it at Bar Bloc in Glasgow. We also do it with bacon crisps and 'trailer trash' cheese on top. Filthy!

2. The BBQ Pork Burger from Jacker De Viande

Jacker's the name but cocktails, meat and love is the game. Lots of cheese and lots of sweet, sweet crispy bacon. Jacker De Viande is one of the city's most underrated burger joints.

3. The 'Top Dog' from El Perro Negro

El Perro Negro doesn't operate out of their own restaurant, but you can find their burger pop-up events at various Glasgow locations throughout the year. The Top Dog is worth tracking down and is known to sell out quickly! Rare-bred beef, bone marrow and black truffle mayo. You need this.

4. The 'Special Burger' from The Butchershop Bar & Grill

This one isn't on the menu often and when it is, it sells out quickly. The short rib, gruyere and truffle mayo topping is outstanding. The Butchershop knows how to do an indulgent burger!

5. The 'Cali Special' from Bread Meats Bread

Bread Meats Bread has become a Glasgow institution and this is one of the reasons why. The Cali special is their love letter to In-N-Out's 3x3 burger. Mustard-fried patties and all. You won't find another burger like it in Glasgow.

6. The 'Big Lebowski' from Lebowskis

One of the biggest burgers in Glasgow and not for the faint-hearted! A double stack of beef patties and cheddar cheese. Lebowskis burgers are the stuff of legends in Glasgow.

7. The 'Smokin' Bacon' Burger from Burger Meats Bun

Burger Meats Bun produces some of the highest quality burgers in Glasgow. They were also voted as the home of Glasgow's best burger in 2013. 'The 'Smokin' Bacon' is one of their original and still much-loved creations. Spiced ketchup and Dale End cheddar make this one.

8. The 'LoveBite' from MeatHammer Ltd

Peanut Butter (YES, you read that right!), candied bacon, chilli jam and hot sauce on a burger. One of the most unusual, yet incredible burgers to be had in Glasgow. MeatHammer won the title of best burger in Glasgow of 2014 with this creation.

9. 'Porkie's Revenge' from SMOAK

Consisting of a beef patty topped with smoked pulled pork, emmental cheese, candied bacon, slaw, onions, lettuce, tomato and Smoak’s own burger sauce on a toasted brioche bun, this monstrous creation certainly packs a mighty punch!

10. The 'Market Burger' from Central Market

Tucked away in Merchant City is Central Market - one of the most unassuming places to find a great Glasgow burger that we can think of. Simple, yet delicious. Topped with bacon and gruyere - make this one even better for asking for bacon jam on it too. Trust us!
