With National Burger Day coming up on Thursday 27 August, alongside the arrival of the national Eat Out to Help Out scheme, has there ever been a better time to grab a good burger and relax? Need some restaurant inspiration? No problem! Here at City Girl we’ve done the hard work for you; here are our top 5 restaurants for a great burger in Newcastle, all of which currently have 50% off Monday-Wednesday! 

Fat Hippo

Fat Hippo has a renowned reputation for a brilliant burger and with both of their Newcastle restaurants participating in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme you’d be foolish not to visit this August! Specializing in extravagant and unique burgers, such as the Bubba Gump and PB&DoubleJ, as well as 5 vegan burgers, everyone can find their new favourite at Fat Hippo.

Lola Jeans 

Situated in the heart of Newcastle, just off Grey Street, Lola Jeans is truly a hidden gem. With a quirky vintage interior, a decadent cocktail menu and an award winning burger menu, Lola Jeans is certainly worth a visit. And don’t just take our word for it, for the 5th consecutive year Lola Jeans has defeated all other burger restaurants in Newcastle to win the prestigious Battle of the Burgers! 

Meat:Stack

When thinking of all things burgers it’s nearly impossible to not mention Newcastle’s most up-and-coming burger restaurant, Meat:Stack. Meat:Stack is Newcastle’s answer to real American Cheeseburgers! Either grab a burger-to-go at Meat:Stack’s original home, Grainger Market, or head to Meat:Stack’s brand new restaurant to truly make the most of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. 

Brinkburn Street Brewery

Brinkburn Street Brewery, tucked away in Ouseburn, is certainly worth the visit this summer with it’s amazing alfresco dining area and even better burger selection. Grab one of their beers, brewed on-site, and pair it with one of their 10 burgers to really make the most of the Brinkburn Street Brewery experience! 

Jam Jar

For those of you who are looking to enjoy a delicious burger without having to come into the city centre, Jam Jar, Jesmond is the place to go! Offering an extensive burger menu, including both vegetarian and vegan options, Jam Jar is certainly a suburban treat!
