Box Burger

What a delight!
I have been meaning to try out this new addition to Bray for a few weeks after hearing great things. Oh boy did they live up to their rep.
A few of us hopped into the car and headed down to the «Gateway of Wicklow». The hostess was super friendly and chatty with us. One of the group was coeliac and they couldn’t of been more accommodating!
Good variety of delicious options on their menu also. Of course you have a wide selection of meaty burgers but also nice veggie options and sides too. They have a full bar with craft beers etc. There were lots of xmas work parties going on the night we were there so definately a good place to start a night.
Overall, totally worth the effort out to Bray!

Well, Box Burger you have a friend in me.
We went on a Sunday afternoon with hungry bellies and burgers on our mind. We know from word of mouth that this place (and Platform Pizza next door) are usually crammed with people and getting a table can be tricky, can only mean good things to me, but we said we’d chance it. We were surprised to find the place quiet, but this didn’t put us off, only made us feel lucky to get in the door!
The service was always with a smile (even though the time it took for the food to reach us was a bit slower that we anticipated) which is something I find very important.
We had burgers and chips and drinks and filled our bellies right up.
The atmosphere is very casual and a bit hipster, but not enough to pt you off enjoying it. The food is prepared in front of you at their kitchen and I loved the big rotisserie with the chickens and ham (I think).
Looking back this review is a bit all over the shop (apologies) but I think it’s down to remembering and getting distracted by how good the food was. Although it’s a good 45 minute journey away, I will be back for more! Oh and their brunch menu looks amazing (never have I been offered bacon instead of smoked salmon on my eggs, inspired!)

Was a part of this whole Dublin debate of where is that magical place with the best Burger.
Now while not technically in Dublin… this place takes the biscuit!
Highly recommend the Mexican burger which comes with a margarita!
Best burger in the greater Dublin/​wicklow area!

I was totally surprised by my visit to Box Burger yesterday. Infact so much so that it ticked all of the boxes relatively speaking.
We went without a booking and were swiftly ushered to the cool bar area to wait on a table for a couple of minutes forgoing the option to plonk our butts in the high stools at the counter.
Whilst here we were furnished with drinks menus and the manager asked us were there any beers we may be interested in. I said I had never tried Victory Brewing headwaters before and promptly a sample appeared before us and the same was the case with the Camden Hells Unfiltered lager. We didnt even have to ask to try them & I usually dont so it was a really nice touch. More akin to a drink with friends than the olden days where every droplet was treated like 50cents in the register, this paved the way for a nice afternoon sit down.
The burgers and fries were delicious with my double burger forged with cheese, pineapple, a fried egg, two succulent beef patties and dressing being a mammoth meal on its own before being accompanied by the mouth watering chips lightly sprinkled with cajun spices.
They also do cooked chickens rotisserie style rotating away in front of your very eyes in a fashion that would give any hipsters french bulldog a dizzy spell of vertigo watching the skewers rotate through the glass doors of the ovens like a culinary merry go-​round.
The staff are genuinely friendly here and appear to enjoy their job which in turn made me feel relaxed and thoroughly enjoy my pig out. Shamelessly.
I will just include a picture of dessert for you to lust over, its beauty alone could be compared to that of a lamborghini poster/​baywatch poster/(insert childhood poster). It doesnt need an explanation the beauty is in looking at it but unlike your childhood poster this beauty is attainable on the seafront in Bray at a reasonable price. So bounce along like Pamela Andersons assets on the Dart and hit up this delightful spot on Bray seafront

Bray seafront has just improved with this restaurant setting the tone for a night out on the promenade. Décor and music are a nice touch to set you up for what’s in store. Staff are warm and friendly and can be quite attentive ensuring that food is in order and the drinks are flowing.
Unfortunately, the chicken wings left a lot to be desired and will not be troubling a LovinDublin list anytime soon. The portion size was enough for a starter, but greasy, slightly overcooked and not a lot of meat on the bones which broke on the majority. I had expectations set maybe higher because of WingIt being closely associated with the sister restaurant Platform Pizza next door.
Onto the main. Now for me this is where they have claimed back some of the goodwill I am extending. Perfect burger with the right amount of topping, where it can be held and there is still a small amount of overflow. With the main I had the twice fried chips and was also disappointed with these. I felt as if I had been given the end of a bag, but the chicken gravy almost made up for it.
All in all I would return and I think the burgers are the main attraction and can see it as a great place for a meal on a night out.

Really loving this place. Have been twice now and both times the food was great. Cool atmosphere with really modern edgy interior. The staff are really laid back and friendly. Amazing cocktail bar at the front where you can go without even buying any food. I’ve only had the burgers so far but they do not disappoint. Can’t wait to visit again!
