"Incredible. The guy manning the till was so friendly and patient, customer service was PEAK. The portion for the pulled pork burger is ridiculous, and it's so so good. My friends got regular burgers, which were absolutely packed with flavour. Honestly so worth coming here, 10/10. The live music beside the stall had great music, and the 2 guys working seemed to be in a great work flow. Thanks guys!"

"I was debating between these guys and another burger place in the market, and I AM HAPPY I picked them! I got the 12oz smash burger because I was hungry and it was more than I could finish! Super fairly priced, food came out quick and was delicious, and the gentleman at the register was helpful and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys!"

"If you land in Belfast and don’t make a pilgrimage to this joint for their Super Smash Burger, did you even go to Belfast? Skipping this burger would be like skipping Christmas. The bun? A fluffy throne. The patty? A juicy, caramelized masterpiece that crunches and melts at the same time. The sauce? Secret sorcery bottled up. Mushrooms, cheddar and pickles seal the deal. It’s not just food, it’s ritual, it’s life... Staff are friendly legends who rejoice upon hearing Super Smash - as though you’ve just made the choice of a lifetime. Every bite feels like Belfast itself gave you a cheeky wink and a warm hug. Five stars."

"We stopped at the market today to have a bite to eat and this place was beyond amazing. The guys serving were really nice, turns out they are from Spain, and we are also from there but living in Dublin, so it was a plus to feel close to home! Burgers were soooo good, 10/10 would recommend 100%"
