What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bunsen Ranelagh is celebrated for its delicious, no-frills burgers and hot, well-seasoned fries, often praised for good value and friendly service. While many appreciate the simple menu and quality ingredients, some reviews mention issues with burger sogginess, impracticality for eating, and inconsistent food quality, particularly with online orders.
"Simply good, no fuss, comes out hot straight from grill, and fries are good. Location is great too. Tables are a bit tight together along one side of the establishment (but where isnt that an issue in Dublin?), however, if you manage to get the booth tables, you are comfy to enjoy your drink and meal with plenty of space. They got my burger sorted in record time and staff was super friendly. Will come again."

"🍔Burger 5/10 | 🍟 Fries 7/10
🍔Burger
+ fresh buns
- bottom bun was soaked in oil
- the whole burger was a bit oily
- burger was served a bit too warm
- strong taste of pickles
- cheese was not felt
+ big pieces of meat, well done
- no special taste in the burger, overall McDonalds taste
🍟Fries
+ lots of fries, my preference would be for half portion
+ very tasty
- just basic retail mayo, no special dressings"

"Really disappointed with this place. Not sure if it's a once off or not but the burger was atrocious... Impossibly impractical burger, that you have to smash against your face to try get any in your mouth, can't eat it without a knife and fork which you don't get... The burger was wet and soggy, after one attempted bite the buns disintegrate. It wasn't seasoned and they removed the only flavourful ingredient from their menu; bacon.
My partner had the same experience.
The chocolate milkshake, chips and beef patty were good, but it's not enough to bring the rating higher.
Summary:
Tasteless, wet, impractical.
Do not recommend."
