Welcome, thought I’d list out (and keep up to date) a list of the top burger places in Birmingham, UK. There wasn’t many a few years ago but now there’s a vast choice. Also I hope others can contribute, as currently these are my personal ratings.
Links are direct to Instagram pages as they have proven to be far more reliable than web site URLs (which are never updated, and many are expired…why, oh why???!)
To be honest, you only need to head to Ladypool road to cover 80% of the places on this list!!!
