There's a chain in Ireland called Eddie Rocketts which used to be really quite good (haven't been in years, but see that they have opened a brancjh on the Lisburn Road in Belfast).
This is the same as "Ed's" in the UK. Same branding anyway. I think it's originally an Irish chain.
Best burger I ever had was at a family run diner in Newark - New Jersey around 25 years ago and have never had a better one since. Talk about a square meal I ate at about midday and didn't eat another thing until the following lunch time.
@NornIrishAddick another vote for eddie rockets, im over in dublin and offaly quite a bit and always pop in to have one, there open late aswell 3/4am so good for after a session, really good patties and the dressed fries are unreal.
Best burger I’ve ever had. While traveling in America, came upon the Tamerisk restaurant in the very non-descript town (or American City) of Green River on highway 191. Not much else to attract passers-by to stop apart from the most delicious burgers in the restaurant overlooking the Green River.
The Globe in Brentford. Superb burgers. Great before watching Charlton there.
Holy shit, really? I've not been for a good five years now, but my recollection of that place was "don't ever eat there again," which is why we haven't despite working next door for years.
There's another pub that did a great burger menu a few years ago, a half mile away. The Lord Nelson? I think that's what it was called. It became a gastro pub last time i went there, but the old burger menu was excellent. Used to have 'The Bulldog' burger. Bacon and egg on top. Lovely.
Work at GSK? So do I. The Lord Nelson is not a bad pub, never eaten there though. I've been working in Brentford for three years and go to the Globe most Friday lunchtimes for food. It's decent, maybe changed hands since the last time you went there? Round the World Burger challenge is a big eat.
No, I'm with the other corporate behemoth on that stretch of the A4. The Globe used to be the 'Polish Pub' and the food was diabolical, so you must be right re. ownership. Maybe we ought to give it another shot. The one by the station...that place will never update, I suspect.

and on the other hand, Supermac's are terrible.
Trust me, Supermac's aren't even that good.
Never has a jingle "Tempting and tasty food at Supermac's!!!" ever been more inaccurate.
I think I've eaten there about three times in my life and every time have regretted it, I prefer a microwave burger.
Mind you, I think that Eddie Rockets are part of the same group as the Abrakebabra chain, which is very hit and miss (the hit most often being the sauce onto your shirt when you are attempting to appear sophisticated in front of the young ladies on your way home - inebriated, moi?).

Eddie Rockets opened two years after Ed's...
OK then, Ed's was first.
I'm sure I've been in Eds in Swords about 20 years ago.

Perfectly possible, but still 9 years after Ed's Easy Diner was launched mate.
Had a half pound dirty burger off one of the stalls at the St Lawrence Ground last Friday, rammed full of onions and cheese. No good for me at all but highly enjoyable.
US - Chubby's Barbeque (MD), Flamingo casino (LV), Five Guys UK - CAU, Buckowski Grill and probably Honest Burger worth a mention. Elsewhere - Makamaka (Barcelona), Moaburger (Krakow)
It's hard to say, but I find that great burgers are one of two things... either pure unadulterated filth - bacon, double patty, shed-load of melted cheese, fried onions, OR, basically a classic 'BK Whopper' type burger that is just patty, crunchy salad (red onion, lettuce, tomato) and a great burger sauce.
I spent last weekend on the Norfolk Broads and had probably the best burger of my life at the White Horse Inn, Neatishead. It could have been that we were very hungry and parched but it was amazing.
Used to have the "heart attack burger" back in my old clubbing days (between 18 and 22)
Turn out from the club, take a left and there was a burger van...
It was:
Bun, 1/4 pounder, Cheese, half a jumbo sausage sliced down the middle then across. Cheese Donner Meat Cheese Other half the jumbo sausage Cheese 1/4 pounder fried onions 'special sauce' Bun.
Just used MFP to find out that was 1400 calories. I'd have that with a bottle of water and chips so around 1800-2000 calories in one meal
No wonder I went through a chubby stage!
However I did walk the 6 miles home from the club every time.
Bloody Hell, that would kill me off.
I wouldn't touch it now, but it seemed to taste so good when you were pissed. I only ever wasted chips. It put me in a decent coma the next day when crossed with booze. I wouldn't awaken until it was nearly time to go out again.

Burgers at the White Swan in Charlton Village also very good these days.
