We visited this GBK for the 4th time on Friday, 16 February 2018. My review is based on our 3rd and…read more4th visits. Our 3rd visit was a couple of months ago. When we sat down the waitress informed us that they were having some kitchen delays and that it would likely take about 30 minutes to get our food. We were hungry ​but figured that was manageable and really wanted a burger. What we didn't know was that apparently, ​her concept of time was a bit warped. It took WELL over an hour to get our food, and when it finally came out, it was wrong. This wasn't just happening to us, as others were also getting their orders wrong and in our side conversations, ​we discovered that they also had waited well over an hour for their food. In the end we were so hungry that we just ate whatever they brought us. This was not a great experience, but the food was good enough that we were willing to try again. This brings us to our 4th visit. We arrived at the restaurant at 11.30am on a Friday. Only then did we realize that they would not open until noon. No problem, we walked around the mall and came back around 12.30pm. I mention this, as I feel that it is important to note that we were specifically​ intending to visit this establishment and spend money. We didn't just happen to be there. We went in and there was only 1 other occupied table. My wife, children and I chose what we wanted from the menu and I headed up to the till to order. The server was very nice and had a friendly greeting. I showed her the GBK app on my phone and she entered my Customer ID. I then started my order with the special advertised on a poster on the wall (I will post the photo if I can figure out how). The server said that this was only for students. I told her that it didn't say anything about any requirements except that you needed the GBK App (which I had, as I showed it to her upon first approaching the till). She read over the poster and agreed, but said that she would have to ask her manager. When her manager approached, I explained that we wanted to order the special and the manager just bluntly said, "No, you cannot order that. You need to have a student ID." I explained that the advertisement did not specify any specific requirements, but she refused to sell it to us. I tried reasoning with her ​but to no avail. Now, I ask...in what restaurant does a halfway decent manager refuse to sell €40+ worth of food because an 8-year-old doesn't have student ID? She didn't even try to be reasonable. She just refused to honour​ the advertisement. I decided that I could not justify spending a single cent after that, so I took my family next door to Nando's where we spent less money and had a wonderful meal. From past experiences at other GBK's, we really enjoy their food, but I have to warn anyone visiting this location to be prepared to have a less than stellar experience until they can get some halfway decent management.

Okay, so most of the time I stay away from meat. Well, I try to…read more I had such a bad craving for a burger for the passed few days and all I could think of was the "chilli" burger from GBK. I coaxed a friend into coming with me for lunch. To my utter dismay, there was no chilli burger. There was chilli sauce to go on the fries and there was a chilli chicken burger - ew. I wanted a big, juicy, chilli coated beef burger. I was sad. So, instead I opted for the bacon and cheese. It was YUMMY! The burgers are huge, and embarrassing. Try sit in a booth where nobody can see you with sauce all over your gob after you take a gloriously juicy bite. Hei Hei fries were really good but quite salty. Rosemary fries were nice. Not to my taste, though. The service was great, friendly and quick. Not to forget the bottomless soft drinks - why can't we have bottomless beers? I hadn't been here for a long time, it was quite a nice change. I enjoyed my lunch and was stuffed all day. Good job, GBK!

The Counter - Party of 14, easily accommodated. Everyone happy. Delicious array or burgers with unlimited combinations. Highly recommended

Heaven help me for patronizing an American chain eatery (even a relatively good one) while…read morevacationing abroad, but the reality of travelling with a large group is that sometimes you have to play the middle of the road. With vegetarians and other conservative eaters in our party, we found this place a godsend for a midafternoon pre-Trinity-College-sightseeing meal. Actually, it's pretty good on its own merits. I've eaten at other Counters and I like the setup...but there are too many choices! Patty, bun, cheese, toppings, and sauce. So many options! But if you enjoy culinary creativity and/or control, you will not go wrong here. The sides are good too, except that they were out of fried pickles. Sad face. We enjoyed regular fries, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their burgers, so the meal was a success. Ironically, The Counter has table service, so it's not quite as quick as you might hope. But their sodas are from a fountain (yay, American style) so you can get refills. Plus, a bonus--their soundtrack of classic rock and respectable 80s and 90s tunes inspired at least four individuals in our multigenerational group to sing at various times. Clearly, they are all about variety.

You know what? Kudos for having a delicious veggie patty. It was good. The guac cost me an extra…read more€0.50 and it was very so-so. Giant bottle of Staropramen for a good price rounded out the positives attributes of my meal. Hubs' sweet potato fries were the 2nd best I've ever had (after the defunct 501 Club in Minneapolis). Unfortunately the rest of the meal was overrun with immense amounts of oil. My burger bun arrived. It was the color yellow and the consistency of a soggy sponge. That means somebody dipped it in Golden-Flo cooking oil before crisping it back up. Yes, it tastes delightful...the same way deep-fried Twinkies taste delightful. The guilt of eating it manages to cancel out the enjoyment. Also ruined by oil were the onion STRINGS. Confession: I thought they were onion rings. With just an 'R'. I was duped and disappointed when the STRings arrived looking all skinny and limp. Sure, they were promisingly covered in tasty batter...but as soon as I grabbed the first one, the underneath strings crunched the pile, which subsequently disintegrated into an oily pile of fried dough and stringy onion film on the plate. Not cool. The oil-to-food ratio ended up leaving me with hours of tummy feelings the equivalent to a brick buried in a pit thrown into a black hole. Had to take a dinner coma nap on the couch when I got home. Oh and I am from California so I am allowed to say this: For a California-based and California-themed restaurant, it feels nothing like California. This place feels vapid and sterile and I would never call California sterile. Vapid, maybe. Not sterile.
