They’ve established themselves as a force in food in just a few short years

A popular Irish food reviewer has taken to Galway and eaten what he called Ireland’s best burger.
Paul from Is It Worth It reviewed Smashbird in his latest video.
He said: “Most food reviewers that you will have seen online have all ranted and raved about it.
“I’ve got loads of recommendations to come down here as well. The locals seem to love it. But some of the food reviewers that have come down here have been known, or allegedly, take some money to do reviews. So the sheriff’s in town today.”
Paul noted that the takeaway was “absolutely packed” and he could see from outside that awards decorated the walls.
He ordered the Big Bird burger which comes with buttermilk fried chicken, Hickeys beef patty, streaky bacon, cheese, pink onion and smash sauce.
That cost him €14 while chicken wings were priced at €12.
Taking a bite of the burger, he said: “Oh wow. That chicken is so moist.
“Oh my God mate. That is amazing, the juiciness of the chicken and then the saltiness of the beef together? Oh my god, that’s amazing.
“That could be the best burger I’ve had in Ireland. I was really really sceptical because I saw how many food influencers have been down here and said it’s great — and sometimes it’s probably not.
“That’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in Ireland. Genuinely.
“It’s amazing. The chicken’s cooked so well and the beef is lovely and salty. Not overly seasoned. The sauce is adding something to it. And then the veg is giving a little bit of crunch to it. It’s lovely.”
Rounding out the video, he gave Smahsbird a 9.5 out of 10.
Last year, Smashbird was the overall winner of the Burger and American category for the Deliveroo Awards.
The local favourite beat out stiff competition from across the country.
Including renowned names like Bunsen in Dublin, Belfast and Cork, Sambros in Limerick and Dacent Munch in Cork.
