Gourmet Burger Kitchen in General

Gourmet Burger Kitchen have an amazing selection of burgers, my favourite of which is the mexican which is a burger with chilli and guacomole. The burgers are made with good beef and quality ingredients. The burgers cost about £8 each and it costs a further £3 for handmade chips and about £2 for a dip, drinks are about £3, bringing the total bill for a meal for two to about £25 to £30. This to me seems quite a lot for a fast food experience, albeit a slightly up market one. The restaurants themselves are very basic and have the hard chairs characteristic of the fast food chain that wants to burn rush as many customers in and out as they can feasibly manage, I find ...  Read the complete review

Last night I went out with some friends for dinner at Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) in Cardiff Bay. I have been to a GBK many years ago but not since and I had never been to this particular restaurant. The restuarant is in a good location, amoung other bars and restaurants in Mermaid's Quay. This is a popular area to dine and so it seems to do pretty good businesses. Being a Monday night, Mermaid's Quay was pretty quiet but GBK had quite a few diners when we arrived. We had a table booked for 10 and they couldn't find our booking which could have put a downer on things but there was enough space so they made us up a table. The staff waitied ...  Read the complete review

My Nan recommended GBK to us after my boyfriend mentioned how much he likes burgers. Living in Bristol, we have 2 GBK restaurants - Park Street and Cabot Circus. We have only ever visited the Park Street restaurant as it is always quieter due to most people eating at the Cabot Circus venue after shopping. There are 49 GBK restaurants in the country. *GBK Background* Gourmet Burger Kitchen originated in New Zealand and they aim to use the best ingredients available to create and extensive range of freshly prepared burgers. The menu is refreshed twice a year (Spring and Autumn) to reflect the change in seasons, ingredients and customer feedback. I ...  Read the complete review

GBK has 49 branches all round the UK, but the one I have visited the most is the Brunswick Centre branch in London. GBK are one of a few companies recently who have tried to get burgers out of the "fast food" bracket and into the "burgers can mean quality" bracket They only sell burgers, along with accompanying sides such as frieds, salads or coleslaw. The menu consists of 13 beef-based burgers, 4 chicken-based burgers, 5 vegetarian burgers, 3 specialty (chorizo or lamb), 1 buffalo burger, 1 boar and one Organic Moroccan lamb. They also sell 4 'small burgers' which I suppose is aimed at children or people who are after a lighter bite. All ...  Read the complete review

Gourmet Burger Kitchen The Gourmet Burger Kitchen is a chain of restaurants that specialise in, you guessed it, burgers! A good deal more salubrious than your average burger chain, GBK excels by doing simple things surprisingly well. With minimalist décor and an unpretentious menu, the quality of the burgers really does speak for itself. The Restaurant I visited the GBK in Beckenham High Street, so this section of the review relates to that particular branch. The inside of the restaurant was clean and stylishly presented. I was half expecting it to be a 1950's American themed affair like so many other burger places but ...  Read the complete review
