About All or Nothing Burger
All or Nothing Burger is Alicante's most talked-about smash burger spot — loud, casual, and built around high-quality beef with proper grill crust. Walk-ins are easy most nights. Come for the seasonal specials if you've already done the core menu, and skip it if you need a quiet table. For a full picture of eating in the city, see our Alicante restaurants guide.
Is All or Nothing Burger worth visiting in Alicante?
Yes, and if you've already been once, you already know why you're coming back. All or Nothing Burger has built a genuine following in Alicante by doing one thing consistently well: smash burgers with proper crust, molten cheese, and enough sauce to make napkins mandatory. It's not the most refined meal the city offers, but it doesn't need to be. For what it is, it delivers.
What All or Nothing Burger is actually like
The atmosphere is loud and fast-moving. Neon signage, a packed room, and a service pace that keeps things moving give the space the energy of a place that knows it's popular. If you're coming for a quiet dinner, this is the wrong choice — the room runs hot and social from early evening. But if that's the kind of night you're after, the energy works in its favour. It feels less like a sit-down restaurant and more like a destination, which is part of why it draws a consistent crowd.
The burgers themselves are built around high-quality beef smashed on the grill for maximum surface contact and crust. The result is a patty that's juicy inside, caramelised outside, and finished with melted cheese and layered sauces that lean into richness without apology. The buns hold up better than most in this format — soft enough not to compete with the beef, structured enough to get through a full stack without collapse. Regulars tend to come back for the seasonal specials and the creative variations on the core menu, which keep the offering from feeling static.
All or Nothing has also expanded beyond Alicante to the Canary Islands, which signals something about how the format has translated. The original Alicante location, at C. José Gutiérrez Petén, 4, remains the flagship, and the neighbourhood context matters here. The city's dining culture runs on Mediterranean informality: good ingredients, direct flavour, social eating. All or Nothing fits that mode while importing a format that Spain has taken seriously in recent years. It's a local venue that's grown into a regional name, which gives it a different kind of credibility than a tourist-facing burger bar.
If you've been once and are wondering what to try next, lean into the specials. The core menu earns its reputation, but the limited runs and creative toppings are where the kitchen shows more range. Go on a weekday if noise level is a factor for you, weekend evenings run at full volume.

How It Compares
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a first-timer know about All or Nothing Burger?
Go hungry and go casual. The format is fast-paced and the portions lean toward excess by design — the beef is smashed on the grill for maximum crust, stacked with molten cheese and bold sauces. The address is C. José Gutiérrez Petén, 4 in central Alicante, so it's easy to reach before or after a seafront walk. Expect a loud room and a no-fuss service style rather than a sit-down dining experience.
Can I eat at the bar at All or Nothing Burger?
The venue runs a casual, fast-paced format rather than a traditional bar-counter setup, so seating arrangements follow that energy. During busy periods, expect a packed room with quick table turnover. Your best move is to arrive early or be prepared to wait — the crowd is part of the experience here.
What should I order at All or Nothing Burger?
The smash burgers are the reason to visit, full stop. The kitchen's approach centres on high-quality beef, maximum crust from the flat-top, and toppings that lean into excess rather than restraint. Check the current specials board — seasonal and creative variations rotate to keep regulars interested alongside the core menu.
Is All or Nothing Burger good for a special occasion?
Not if your idea of a special occasion requires a quiet room, a long wine list, or formal service. This is a high-energy, neon-lit burger joint — the occasion it suits best is a casual celebration with people who eat enthusiastically. For a milestone dinner in Alicante, you'd be better served elsewhere.
What are alternatives to All or Nothing Burger in Alicante?
All or Nothing sits firmly in the casual, American-style burger category, so direct local competitors depend on what you're trading off. If you want the same city but a more composed meal, Alicante has a solid seafood-forward restaurant scene given its coastal location. All or Nothing is the stronger call specifically when smash burgers and a social atmosphere are the brief.
Can All or Nothing Burger accommodate groups?
The atmosphere — loud, fast-paced, and communal — suits groups well in spirit, though specific private dining or large reservation policies aren't documented. Groups should check the venue's official channels before arriving, especially for parties where coordinating multiple seats at once matters. The Canary Islands locations are an option if you're travelling elsewhere in Spain.

All or Nothing Burger and Spain's €€€€ fine dining tier are solving completely different problems, but the comparison is worth framing clearly so you can plan accordingly. Quique Dacosta in Dénia, the closest high-end reference point geographically, operates at the opposite end of the spectrum: a multi-course creative tasting menu with serious technical ambition and a booking process that requires planning weeks or months in advance. If your trip to Alicante includes a special-occasion meal, Quique Dacosta is the right answer. If you want a good burger on a Tuesday night, All or Nothing is the right answer. These venues do not compete.
For broader Spanish fine dining comparisons, El Celler de Can Roca in Girona and Arzak in San Sebastián represent the pinnacle of the country's progressive cooking, while Azurmendi in Larrabetzu and Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María each bring distinct regional identities at the €€€€ level. None of these are casual options, and all require advance booking. All or Nothing sits in a different category entirely: easy to access, no ceremony, value-driven, and built for frequency rather than occasion.
Within Alicante's casual dining scene, El Faralló is the most useful local alternative if you want a different format, more Mediterranean, more seafood-forward. Choose All or Nothing when the brief is specifically a smash burger with energy and speed. Choose El Faralló when you want something that leans into the coastal character of the city. For everything else the city offers, our full Alicante restaurants guide covers the range.
