The 7 Best Burgers In Bristol

Bristol burgers are some of the tastiest in the whole country – for real. This city has more amazing burger restaurants than some of the biggest food cities across Europe, so it’s pretty tough to narrow it down to just seven.

But narrow it down we must – there can only be a ‘best of’ list if some places don’t quite make it to the top, right?

From the huge and monstrous burgers packed with toppings; places cooking up simple patties right through to fine dining restaurants with their gourmet take on this American snack, we’ve come up with a list that has something for everybody…

The 7 Best Burgers In Bristol, How do these rankings work?

1. Squeezed

Squeezed is inside one of the shipping container units in Wapping Wharf and although it might be tiny in size, the burgers here are whopper. Everything (apart from the brioche buns) is made fresh onsite and the flavours from these bad boys is outstanding.

It’s famed for its St. Werburger burger, which is two beef patties, Monterey jack cheese, smoked bacon and caper aioli, chipotle and tomato relish and confit shallots.

2. Asado

Cooking over a wood fired asado grill and using the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients, Asado is a unique burger joint from Lucien Gordon of London’s Patty and Bun fame. Think the very best of South American, Southern American and British flavours coming together in one big juicy bite.

3. Oowee Diner

If you like your burgers dirty and don’t mind getting your hands a little greasy then Oowee Diner will be your idea of a happy place. Their burgers are dripping with cheese and the signature Oowee dirty sauce.

There’s two locations in the city – the original Picton Street site mainly does takeaway, while the North Street restaurant has more space to eat in.

4. Burger Theory 

There’s no limits to what can and cannot go in to a burger here. That’s just one of the reasons why Burger Theory have built up such a loyal fanbase in Bristol and beyond. The other reasons? The caramelised meat. The juicy, pink patties. The smoked pickles or bacon & ale jam… We could go on.

5. Honest Burgers 

It’s safe to say that these guys know a thing or two about great meat – they make British beef patties in their own butchery. With locations across the UK, they partner up with local food producers to showcase the best ingredients.

The local Bristol burger is a tasty beef and bacon burger with smoked cheddar & cheese curds, shoestring fries, cider and bacon gravy, onion, pickles.

6. The Burger Joint

Make your own creation here with the ‘Build a Burger’ menu that has a huge 60 different ingredients. Start with the bun (options include brioche or Italian herb) and then pick your meat – will you have prime beef, Welsh lamb, ostrich or wild boar?

You could come here every single day and never eat the same burger twice. A classic.

7. Chomp 

Chomp are of the opinion that if you can’t pick a burger up and bite through it in one go then something’s gone wrong. Whatever you believe, these burgers are 100% delicious. The menu is short but that’s all you need here: House Classic and a Bloody Veggie.

Choose to throw on some Stilton cheese or black pudding for extra wow.
