Meat:Stack

Walk down Groat Market and you'll clock Meat:Stack immediately—the sort of spot that draws the after-work crowd and lunchtime regulars in equal measure. You're after seriously good burgers here, the kind made with actual technique: smashed patties that develop a proper crust, melted cheese, the works. It's not fussy or pretentious, just genuinely well-executed food that lands every time. The loaded fries are a proper distraction too, if you can manage them after a burger. Sit in and watch the kitchen work, or grab it to go—either way, you're eating something that actually justifies the hype.
