Libertineburger Reviews 2

Five Guys prices without Five Guys sizes. The burgers were tasty, no complaints from the family, just very, very expensive for what you get.

Having read positive reviews of Libertine Burger and despite the prices I pulled the trigger and thought I’d treat myself. I ordered a #21 burger, deep fried pickles and a root beer. The burger was smaller than I’d anticipated but the patty was tasty even though the garnishes were meh. The pickles were in fact thin strips of pickle and not whole pickles in an almost carbonised batter which when you bit down on released the entire pickle shaving leaving a sheath of batter not unlike a diseased penis made into a candle and then melted or some kind of macabre finger puppet. Root beer has long intrigued me and I was curious to try this fizzy American staple but in reality and to quote Alan Partridge, “Tastes like fizzy Benylin.” This is of course not the fault of Libertine but more our obsession with “American things”. £21 spent when for that price I could’ve enjoyed a nice steak AND a pudding from Waitrose. This is all the fault of hipsters with tattoo sleeves and big beards with top knots imo. Tomorrow I’ll play it safe and have a cardboard bucket of turkey buzzard parts from KFC, at least I know what I’ll be getting even if I will be disgusted by myself.
