I’m setting my stall out here, and risking potentially my life from the people of Nottingham, but I don’t think Annie’s Burger Shack is the best burger in Nottingham.

Whenever the subject of burgers is raised, Annie’s is always put out there as the best, and around Here nobody really questions it.

But they should.

No doubt, if you want giant reasonably priced burgers that are piled high with loads of different things, then yeah, Annie’s is the place to go. If, on the other hand, you want a burger that actually tastes delicious and doesn’t dissolve into a soggy mess, then there are other places to go.

My problem is, that I like cheeseburger. Easy. Simple. A delicious classic that really doesn’t need much elaboration.

If I wanted Mexican food, I would go and eat in a Mexican restaurant. If I wanted pancakes and maple syrup, then I would go and eat that. But I don’t want these things, that’s why I came to a Burger restaurant.

That’s when you see how the Annie’s burger doesn’t quite measure up.

Not to say it’s a particularly bad burger. I’ve certainly had worse. It’s just not as good as it could be.

The onion rings on the other hand are as close to perfect as I’ve ever seen. Oniony. Ringy. All kinds of crispy. Everything you need in an onion ring, and best of all wen you take a bite you don’t just pull all of the onion out.

The hotdogs are pretty decent as well.
