the counter

this is a great place for a casual meet up with friends!
i regularly come here with friends and always choose to build a burger. you basically pick your meat, toppings, sauce, salad bowl/burger bun. be warned that you probably will be waiting for a table, as the queue is out the door any evening i've been.

food was great as per, although the service was mixed. some of the girls ordered cheese and they didn't get it. i asked for peanuts with my burger but the waiter never came back with it. we ordered before 6.30 and the food didn't appear until 7.10. to be fair it was very busy, and they have a policy of serving eachtablewhen all the food is ready but there was only 4 of us, so we did feel a little put out. we mentioned it to the manager who came over and checked everything with us, and he sorted us with complimentary deserts for the confusion and apologised. he handled it really well, we nearly felt bad for complaining!

we all chose to build burgers and ordered a jug of water between us, we all had happy tummies leaving despite the bit of mix up!!

delicious chicken wings, burgers are tasty but dry. nice fries and sides but it's just an american chain at the end of the day. cheap and cheerful. service can be awful and you should be prepared to wait a long time for atableand your food at lunchtime and weekends.

absolutely awful service. queued for 10 mins for atablefor 6, told 30 mins. took my name and put 7:30 beside. came back at 7:30 to be told thetablewas gone and they don't take reservations. pretty sure thats a reservation. was 'assumed' i would just stand there but wasn't told thats what i had to do. awful customer service as well, no attempt to resolve the situation just told i needed to.wait another 20 mins.

possibly my fave burger place. i love that you can build your own burger and choose all the element from the amount of meat to the bun and sauces! usually have to wait a while for atablebut don't mind this as the food is always worth the wait. the staff are usually really friendly even though they're run off their feet and the food usually comes fast. the burger in a bowl option is the best burger in a bowl i've ever had. sometimes when you get a burger without the bun its really sad looking on the plate but from here arrives at thetablelooking like a full meal and is super filling. all the sauces are delsih! i can never pick which one i want!

the counter is a great place to meet friends. by this i mean, it's a great place to bring people that maybe wouldn't appreciate 'the best steak in dublin' or 'this cool little wine bar'. 
you can tailor make your own burger, the novelty is still fun & it solves the problem of where to bring the fussy eater.
it's by no means a contender for the best burger in dublin but that doesn't mean it's not good. 
the location is really handy and it's never too packed so you can generally walk in and find atablewhenever. service is very good too and i've never had to wait more than 20mins for my meal to be served.
it's the kind of place you'd drop into if you were walking by with people and fancied a bite to eat rather than making a reservation and waiting all week to go.

its the third time ive been to counter the first 2 times i got burgers and was not disappointed. both the beef and chicken are lovely. 
this time given it was after christmas we opted for for bunless burgers, aka burger in a bowl. 
i really enjoyed it. the chicken was lovely and i got it with spinach and quinoa along with some toppings. 
we always get a side of sweet potatoe fries which are not but im not a big sweet potatoe person so i get the parmesan fries which are out of this world. they are so generous with the cheese. very filling and hard to finish but you so ummy i give it a good go. 
this time i tried a milkshake, coffee flavour, it was really nice. ice-creamy and thick and just the right coffee flavour. it wasn't too heavy on top of all the food.
my nephew cam along this time and the venue was very child friendly. they gave us atablefor 4 rather than shoving us on atablefor 2. they provided a high chair and offered crayons and colouring.

make that a 4th visit. its now a staple everytime i go home. 4th time was a bunless beef, brie and pesto bowl. yummmmm as always!!
