Best Burger in Exeter? Hub Box!

I know I said this would be a beauty blog, and primarily it will be, but ya can't blame a girl for loving food can you?

I'm a student in Exeter and I have to say a large portion of my Student Loan gets spent on eating out.
I love trying new restaurants, so when I heard a new burger restaurant had opened up whilst I was home for Christmas, I was quite excited (how sad!)
I first noticed Hub Box on Trip Advisor. It had quickly amassed a very high rating, so I decided I'd try it out (I recommend heading there to look at the reviews if you don't take my word for it!)

I went on Saturday Evening.
It was packed and we did have to wait 20 minutes or so for a table but the staff were nice enough about it, got us drinks whilst we waited, and seated us as soon as possible.

The first thing that struck me was the decor. Pretty unusual but I liked it! It's been decorated in that kind of shabby half-done style that's popular right now - think lots of chipboard-effect, angular furniture and writing on the walls.
There are loads of sauces on every table so you'll be sure to find your favourite condiments. Weirdly the knife and forks were disposable wooden ones. I'm not really sure why they chose this but they do look quite cool!
Unfortunately I have no photos as I forgot my phone, doh!

In terms of independent burger joints, Exeter has a couple - such as Urban Burger and Ruby Burger.
I have not been to Urban Burger but I'd definitely say I preferred this place to Ruby Burger (which I found quite overpriced with rubbish onion rings!)
Aside from your typical beef Burgers they also serve hot-dogs, pulled pork, beef brisket and creative vegetarian options.

The pricing here is fab - Our bill came to £28 including a blue-cheese cheeseburger, a 'Big Kahuna' which contains two patties, pulled pork, cheese and onion rings, a MASSIVE portion of 'burnt-end beans' (think BBQ beans mixed with chunks of beef brisket), a large fries, a side of pickles and two bottles of Cider.
I thought this was great value, all the sides were very generous and the burgers themselves were pretty big!

I wasn't too fond of the beans but that's just because BBQ sauce isn't my fave.
The only let down was the pickles - my boyfriend and I love a good pickle but this wasn't great. 

Not very crunchy and they just weren't 'pickley' enough in flavour.

Pickles aside I was really impressed with Hub Box! 

The burgers were creative in terms of ingredients, well-cooked, well-filled and served in a yummy toasted brioche bun!

The fries deserve a particular mention - they were AMAZING. Perfectly crispy, nice and skinny and perfectly seasoned. I honestly could have eaten them for eternity.

For the money Hub Box is the best Burger Place around and I would definitely visit again (and again, and again)

They offer a TakeAway service which is pretty cool but to be honest I enjoy the whole experience of going out for a meal too much to take advantage of that offer.
