MEATmarket

If you want a quick fix on your weekly or monthly burger cravings, then you should definitely drop by MEATmarket (MM) in Covent Garden.
Being the sister of MEATliquor, you can expect quality of the burgers at MM. Only MM is faster (order, sit and eat) and with a smaller menu, you don't actually need to spare 10 minutes deciding.
MM is located above The Jubilee Market in the heart of Covent Garden (designated entrance on Tavistock Street), overlooking many installs occupied by tourists. Inside, you will find long benches with stools, with an open kitchen.
The menu is small but it is enough for a pseudo fast food joint. It offers variation of beef patties burgers, dogs, sides and shakes.
 
We ordered a Dead Hippie (2 beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, minced white onion and dead hippie sauce) // Philly Cheesesteak (shaved rump steak, cheese, peppers and onions) // Poppaz (Jalapenos and cheese with ranch dressing) and bottomless soda.
 The Dead Hippie is similar to a Big Mac, but with their special Dead Hippie sauce, it makes sure that the burger stays juicy while you indulge it. The beef patties have been marinated well and deserve to be the stars of the burgers. The Philly Cheesesteak is very filling, though it seems to be in normal size; once you bite into it, your mouth is filled with cheese, steak and peppers all well balanced together.
I actually wanted to order the Corn Puppies (mini corn dogs), but they have been too popular that MM has actually ran out of them! However, the crispy Poppaz were not disappointing either. Even though personally I am not a big fan of cheese, but the flavour of the Jalapenos managed to come through the cheese.

All in all, MM is the place to go to for burgers. However, it does come as a little bit more expensive than other burger joints (Byron, McDonalds etc).

Food rating: 8.5/10
Budget rating: 7/10
