I’ll start by saying if I could give this a 3.5 stars I would, but I can’t and it’s not a 3 star so 4 it is! It’s a nice little burger spot with some seating inside nice decor and vibe, the menu is expansive to say the least pretty much Something for anyone here. I ordered a a cheese stack burger as a meal. Let’s talk about it, 6oz burger patty loaded with halloumi, mozzarella sticks and more cheese. I was expecting some serious cheese pull with cheese dripping everywhere, but there was none of that but that’s ok. The patty itself could have been frozen bought? Certainly not freshly made in house which a lot of burger spots do these days, it lacked any juiciness was a pretty dry patty tbf, there was some seasoning too it and it had that flame grilled taste. Halloumi was cooked nicely, and mozzarella sticks don’t really do much tbh. The bun certainly held it all together but it was pretty chewy and soft again could have been frozen?. The fries were very basic, some crispy some maybe undercooked, certainly no seasoning on them, came with 2 sauces a mint chillie and garlic mayo both were pretty decent as far as dips go. Overall I wouldn’t say this place is bad, it’s cheap it hits the spot but wouldn’t say it’s gourmet! But for cheap quick decent burger it will hit the spot! Under £10 for burger chips and drink is pretty good In my book! Today’s rating overall is 6.5/10 - needs more finesse and upping the patty game to call this gourmet! But let’s be honest I’d happily go back!

The Original Gourmet Burger outlet today for a piri piri chicken wrap. So shop front thou in its hay day was done to a fairly decent standard it's now looking pretty worn, it's still clean thou and they have bench seating you can sit at... On looking at there prices they are very reasonable and our at the average range for this type of outlet, the product packaging is great loverly paper bags, and recycled card containers, the fries were very good for the price and you certainly could taste the potatoes in them, the wrap was also very good with a decent standard piri piri sauce marinade, there some parking to the front but this small shopping pr cinct is quite busy you can park around the corner thou in Noris Road which is still 2hrs no return. All in all a thumbs up definitely from me 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good food good size portion. However I wouldn’t say ‘gourmet’. If you’re looking for reasonable burger place to fill a hole and doesn’t break the bank then defo this is the place. Ordered the tikka combo, hot dog jalapeño , grilled Chinese wings and tikka bowl. £20 for all. Tikka combo was the best part. Too much cheese sauce on the tikka bowl for my liking. Hot dog wasn’t anything special unfortunately. And the wings for me were a let down, saw them cooking it - it was grilled wings then chucked into a bag with sauce added and mixed. They could’ve put the sauce on the grill with sesame seeds to give it that authentic taste. Overall first time wasn’t bad, will try again and see how it is again. Service 3/5 due to they forgot my wings and had to wait another 15mins.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a recent order I placed through your service. On 23/06/2024 I ordered a meal consisting of a burger, two cans of juice, and two sweet fries, for a total cost of £41.02. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the food arrived cold, which significantly detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. Secondly, the order was incomplete, with items missing. Given the high price I paid, this was extremely disappointing. When I attempted to resolve this issue by calling your customer service, I was put on hold and eventually hung up on. This lack of response and support is unacceptable and has left me very dissatisfied with your service. Due to this experience, I do not intend to use your service in

I just ordered a takeaway. I can say I always order the chicken tikka loaded fries, which is always the best 10/10. However, this time my parents thought let’s try the chicken strips. I can strongly advise anyone who wants to get chicken strips- do not get it as it’s very dry. Also, in my salad I found a plastic at the end, plastic probably from the cucumber wrapping. I (I’m guessing). Very disappointed. I have posted a pic of the plastic

Oh dear. Not what the name implies at all. My Original Meal Deal with pre-formed, warmed-over cheap beef patty, sickly sweet onion sauce & pickled jalapeños was only just edible, but I was hungry. No passion in this food. No toilet in this worn-out tired-looking place either. It’s cheap, but I’d avoid if you’re looking for a serious burger. This whole meal was only £8.69 and the shoestring fries were OK so there’s that.
