Classic all-day service, burgers served on a slab of wood with potted fries and a selection of toppings ranging from blue cheese to chilli. The best, most consistent burger in town - it's rammed from Thursday to Saturday.

Other bits of meat feature, as do erratic service and odd menu decisions (no chips?), but it's the charcoal-grilled burgers you come for. The whole experience makes the place memorable: from the rickety tables to the list of unusual beers. If you don't mind a crowd and you want a glorious burger, Bubba's your man.
