The story
The Beefy Boys has earned its reputation as a titan of the UK burger scene, and for good reason. Using top-quality Hereford beef, this spot draws crowds to Hereford's Old Market. As Only Scrans noted in their 12-hour eating marathon, the venue’s Friday barbecue collaboration is "the best I've had in the UK." That high bar sets the stage for a menu that blends classic smash burgers with serious smoke.
The Dirty Boy Burger and Oklahoma Onion Boy Burger are clear standouts, but the real draw is the barbecue lineup: Burnt Ends, Brisket, Beef Cheek, and Char Siu Pork Belly Bites all earn enthusiastic thumbs-up. Sides like Mac and Cheese, Potato Salad, and Pit Beans round out the experience. With a lived-in, lively atmosphere and a casual local-spot vibe, The Beefy Boys delivers a burger-and-barbecue mashup that feels both celebratory and grounded.

The brisket is the standout star, earning singular praise for its tender, smoky depth, while the overall vibe is one of hearty, no-fuss satisfaction that leaves diners feeling genuinely fed.
“The brisket is so tender. Bark on it is so nice. Beautiful smoke ring. I do think the more I have it, the more I'm happy to confirm that Texas style or American style barbecue is one of if not my favorite cuisines.”

Dishes mentioned
Dirty Boy Burger
This is their fat patty signature. It's beautifully rare in the middle, the kind of burger that drips down your hands as you eat it. Messy, filthy, but oh so good. For me, when it comes to burgers, my preference is a fat patty — a fat, pink in the middle, primal piece of meat full of flavor, seasoned to perfection. That's how burgers should be.
Oklahoma Onion Boy Burger
This is the Oklahoma burger. Incredibly simple: all it is is onions, meat, cheese on a bun with mustard. The mustard is fried into the patty to give it a beautiful sweetness. That beef is so so good. The bun is like a pillow. I could fall asleep on that, you know. Genuinely, it's more comfortable than my pillow. You got to hand it to the lads there — the quality of the ingredients is where they're winning. There's not even any sauce drowning it. Doesn't need it. The beef is juicy enough, and the onions are sweet enough. Unreal.
- Smash Burger
Burnt Ends
The burnt ends are sensational. He's smashing it here. My bar for barbecue food is incredibly high after I went to Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, and now seeing what the UK has to offer — that's fantastic.
Maple Brined Turkey
The turkey is so moist. Unlike most turkey I've had in this country, usually around Christmas time cooked by a family member who doesn't know how to cook, this is so moist. Such a fantastic cut of meat when it's done right.
