STREET GUYS — Restaurant in Stockport

I was in Stockport craving for a Burger and saw the reviews here online and thought..that place looks GOOD!

And...it WAS.

I'll talk about the food first, The burger was just great, incredible, 5/5 smash burger, fantastic taste, the original sauce went great with the burger, the beef is fresh and tastes like a proper beef burger, tomato, lettuce and a nice crunchy pickle. It was a perfect example of what a smash burger should be. The wings were great, 3 large wings £2.50, a nice crispy skin-on full wing, hot sauce was amazing, not too hot and easy to handle. The fried, fresh and crispy, seasoned with cayenne pepper, herbs, I liked the seasoning. Overall, the food was 5/5 and I would definitely come back.

The store looks a bit run down and worse for wear, and I wondered if I had the right place, it's certainly not chic. The tables were wobbly, unstable and dirty which was a bit disappointing to see, the staff didn't clear after people had eaten and I wiped my own table so I rate 2/5 atmosphere. There is not really much room to Dine-in, most people were getting their food to go. Booth seating for about 4-6 people

Confusing menu prices: Something I noticed while in the shop, some item prices don't make sense for the customer. I.e £1.99 to add 2 slices of bacon to a burger. A beef burger costs £5.99 and a bacon burger with 2 slices costs £5.99, the difference is the cheese, the staff say it's the way the burger is made but most ingredients are the same. Just make the burgers with donner, bacon, etc £6.99 and leave the plain burger at £5.99.

If the seating and store was more Dine-in friendly, and cleaned frequently this place would be a 5/5 for what it is.

For Google purposes Not wheelchair friendly steps at front of store No free parking, but you can park at pay and display or at the McD's parking for 90 minutes (if a customer) I bought a coffee...

“BBQ” STRIPS ARE NOT BBQ! everything else we ordered was decent although the crispy hot wings weren’t very crispy today. However I must warn anyone thinking of ordering the “BBQ” chicken strip because I don’t know what sauce they put on them but it isn’t BBQ it’s some kind of Worcestershire sauce but really spicy (spicier than the crispy hot wings) either way they taste disgusting which is disappointing considering how tasty the rest of the menu is.

Just to put it into perspective how bad the “BBQ” strips taste, my nan who ordered them couldn’t eat them because they were too spicy, So I swapped them with my street original strips, I then myself realised how inedible they are and offered them to my dad and he too was unable to eat them. Bare in mind me and my dad are both quite fat and love to eat yet even 2 fatties and an old lady were incapable of finishing 4 chicken strips.

However I must stress Ive ordered from Street Guys around 5 times now and everything else I’ve ever eaten from here has been delicious and I would definitely recommend to friend and family, hence why I ordered with my dad and nan today, I just felt compelled to warn people about those horrendous “BBQ”...

Really average in my opinion. I think my problem is that because they so clearly base their image on Five Guys that I subconsciously compare them to Five Guys and that can never be a favourable comparison so they come out looking worse in my head than they actually are. Street Guys are fine. Some thing I was kind of disappointed with, the meat on the burgers was not super flavourful, but again that might be the Five Guys comparison sneaking in. I got the chicken strips covered in BBQ sauce and while the sauce was nice I did think the chicken itself was a bit chewy and dry, wouldn't recommend. The chips were nice though and my brother really liked his burger. I think there are better choices around this area so I wouldn't go again personally, but they're not bad by any means. I just wouldn't go out of my way to...
