AN INDEPENDENT burger restaurant in Whitby is among the nation’s favourites.

In honour of National Burger Day on August 23, TripAdvisor has revealed its top ten UK joints for the humble hamburger.

Burgsy on Grape Lane, in Whitby, came second with its fresh, handmade burgers, made using locally-sourced ingredients.

Diners will find at least 12 varieties of burger on the menu to tempt them away from the traditional seaside fish and chips.

One recent reviewer said: “Visited last year and thought, ‘This might be the best burger I’ve ever had’.

“I carried on with life, eating good burgers at various establishments and then the time came to revisit Burgsy’s. And you know what? It really does do the best burgers I have ever eaten, and I’ve eaten in fine burger restaurants in the UK and the US.”

The Meat Shack in Birmingham came out on top, according to TripAdvisor’s list.
