Top 10 best places to buy a burger

It’s Independence Day tomorrow, July 4, so where are the Top 10 best places to buy a burger in the UK? 
TripAdvisor travellers have helped you out by reviewing burgers, handing the top slot to a two-man operation in Brighton – Burger Brothers.
Co-owner Nadz Nwokoro said: “Myself and my business partner Pip, always had a passion for food and since opening in April 2013, with our bold strategy of no “paid-for” promotion, our success is largely due to the word-of-mouth of the local Brighton community and of course TripAdvisor and its many knowledgeable users. Thank you!”
