jo' burger

a perfect place if you want to wait for an hour, be abused by the manager and go home hungry

i was really looking forward to a great burger. i went to jo'burger near st steven green. it was around 7:30 pm. as it was pretty full inside (it is a small place), i chose to sit outside. i ordered straight away - just a burger, no sides, no extras, no drinks and then waited patiently for thefoodto arrive. after 1/2 hr, i asked the waiter who was serving next table how long was the order still going to take. he said i"t is coming now, let me check." he never came back.

after 15 or so more minutes i went inside and said to one of the servers, admittingly with some irritation in my voice - "this is bordering on ridiculous. how long does it take to flip a burger?". the guy said that he was sorry, that they were very busy and thefoodwas coming now. so i went back to the table. after maybe 5 minutes some guy (i have no idea who he was), charged out of the restaurant and screamed at me in front of everyone "if you are ever going to abuse my staff again, i am going to throw you out. " and he run back to the restaurant, without letting me say a word.

i was dumbfounded. who was he? i presume he was in charge. i followed him inside and tried to get an explanation what prompted his abusive behaviour. he was not prepared to say it, to explain, to call the "abused staff" so we could sort it out. he was cocky and arrogant. i said i don't swear in public, so i really would like to know what was it all about. he still would not tell me. i said i will post about this on social media - he just laughed and said that i could post whatever i wanted. then, like nothing happened, he said that my burger was coming now. i was lost for words. i wanted to tell him where to stick it, but i just said that i didn't want it, then turned and left.

i can't believe that a person like this is allowed to deal with the public. he didn't want to know my side of the story, he didn't ask - what seems to be the problem? he just attacked and abused me. if the restaurant was really busy (which it wasn't), the waiter could have told me that there will be close to an hour wait for thefoodand ask me if it was ok and i wanted to wait for it. those guys just don't give a damn. i will never go there again. you can at your own peril. thefoodlooked good, but so are many other places in st stephen green. not worth the hassle and aggravation. go elsewhere.

jo'burger castlemarket is my ultimate fav! the perfect place for a catch up with friends, comfortfood& delicious drinks. our server was amazing, top notch!!!foodwas impeccable as per...! i tried the harrissa chicken for the first time and oh my days it was delicious. as always reasonably priced for the quantity and quality €13 approx.for burger and sharing fries

ok so visited here last night and all i can say is amazing, thefoodwas gorgeous, my burger and sweet potato fries were the best i've ever had! i went for the moroka beef burger with brie and bacon it was cooked perfectly and the toppings on my burger gave immense flavour! the staff were very pleasant & helpful and didn't bother us at all while we were eating which i loved! over all my experience here was great and i'll definitely be returning soon 5/5 from me! i'd recommend everyone to try here if they haven't already. i salute you jo!

hmmmm jo burger, a long standing institution in rathmines. as good now as when i used to go there a few years ago. burgers, toppings and relishes all served with a great twist of imagination! i love the old beano manual menus. at times it can get heaps busy which yes waiting staff we the customer understand, but please refrain from throwing thefoodat us in your haste.....good value but be prepared to eat yourfoodin the company of strangers due to the bench seating!

went to jo burger last night, it was my first time there. i'm not normally a burger and chips fan but thefoodhere was top quality. we order a beef burger with brie and bacon and a lamb burger with almond pesto, roast pepper and rocket. the burgers are huge i'm glad we didn't order any sides.

thefoodfor me was only good, except for the sweet potato fries, they were unreal!!! others in my group were also happy with their choices. so many great and different topping options!! there is no way you couldn't find something to suit you!! there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, it just wouldn't be my favorite. the mint and lime lemonade was deeeelish. would return just for this. we had booked a table and it wasn't ready when we arrived and we were put on the end of another groups table which was fine until our whole group arrived which made it a bit of a squish for a while. the staff were brilliantly friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. the biggest issue we had was that when we paid, and left a decent tip, we were followed out and told we had underpaid, which was untrue, as we all put in enough to cover the cost and give a decent tip as it was what the waitress deserved. so from this perspective and they way that this issue was dealt with really ruined the night in the end.

cracking burger, sorry to leave somefoodbehind. huge portions, amazing burgers, the best onion rings and fabulous coffee. thanks for a super dinner with fantastic staff.

really goodfoodwith selection of make your own burgers. the portions are big and have really nice sweet potato fries. their old school laid back atmosphere is great as well.

went here with a couple of friends 2 weeks ago. probably the nicest burger i've ever had in dublin was so good. i got the dobson beef burger with an egg on top too. we also got chips to share and you get plenty of them. we sat outside and was quite warm because of the heaters so we didn't mind. the place plays really good music and staff were very friendly and efficient.foodand drink is very reasonably priced will definitely be back. everyone was happy with theirfoodand my friend got an open burger type thing in the photo below!

i had a very nice experience here. went here for lunch for a nice bite to eat. i had heard good things about the restaurant and was eager to try it out.

the restaurant is lovely, really good atmosphere. the waiters are quite hipster so not everyone will like them i think but i found them to be nice.

i ordered a lamb burger (which was so tasty, real moist succulent meat) with avocado, caramelized banana, goats cheese, relish, lettuce, onion and tomato with the crispiest freshest bun ever! and a giant mint homemade lemonade and a side of really fresh cut sweet potato fries.

never had a single issue with thefoodor the lemonade i ordered. everything tasted fresh and packed with flavor.

there was also a good choice for vegetarians which still to this day can be quite difficult to find.

overall the place was pretty amazing. i will definitely be back to test out the other great choices of burgers. i'ts a real laid back funky place, great for groups i imagine.

jo’burger on castle market is a nice cozy place where you’ll find some of the best burger in dublin. it doesn’t seem like much from the outside - very similar to most of the restaurants in that part of town, but thefooddoes the talking here! there’s something about places that have exposed brick walls on the inside that adds a unique charm to the place, and it’s no different here.

so it’s all about the burger here (and beer, but let’s not get distracted now). they have a lunch menu combo where you get a burger with a lemonade or with fries for 10 quid, or 11.95 for the fires *and* the lemonade. and of course, their regular menu is filled with burgers and a bunch of sides that pair up nicely with them. i had the morako - strips of bacon and brie piled high on a lamb patty with relish on top. it was a mighty impressive ‘stack'. the burgers was quite superb, and everything about the burger was quite awesome along with the relish. i do like my burger with a touch extra seasoning, which was lacking here, so be sure to let them know to be a little liberal with the salt & pepper while making the burger. the side of onion rings we ordered were quite delightful as well - crunchy and without a lot of oil having soaked into the batter, these made for a perfect accompaniment along with the burger.
