    This place does exactly what it says on the tin... Burgers! And good ones at that!…read more This is a brand new restaurant open this weekend, they have a sister restaurant on Whiteladies road (just a few miles away) which has really taken off, so it seems like the natural thing for them to do. So tonight was really busy, pretty much every table taken, this didn't matter though we were shown straight to our table and given menus. You place your orders on tick box forms, and then give them back to the waiting staff. There's loads to chose from with out being over whelmed. Basically you chose your meat (or veggie burger) there's about 8 options inc lamb, chicken etc. then an extra filling, 2 sauces and a side all for around £8, bargain! Food was delivered to the table within 10 minutes, I would highly recommend the 6oz beef burger, grilled bacon and blue cheese with a side of fries, yummy!!!! My friend had the 6oz beef, Cheddar and onion rings which look equally delicious and somewhat mouth watering! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the service was faultless. I really like the decor, clean, crisp and modern with no gimmicks which is a refreshing change to some other burger places around. They have an out side decked sitting area at the front, which considering this place is on a bustling high street really catches your eye and quiet inviting. Great for couples and small groups, I probably wouldn't want to take a big group of rowdy friends, apart from anything else they probably wouldn't fit many in. I would definitely go back and recommend to others.

    My friend was lucky enough to win tickets for a free burger before this place even opened and…read moreinvited lucky me to go with her for lunch, I took my 13 month old baby along as well. The service was excellent, the staff were very friendly, welcoming and very helpful to me with my buggy - there are some steep steps to get up to get into the building but someone came and helped me in (not sure how wheelchair users will get in but I'm sure they'll have that covered) I opted for the straightforward beef burger and my friend went for the wild boar burger, I had pulled pork and cheddar cheese as a topping (pulled pork on a burger it would turn out is delicious) I loved the fact that you got free refills on soft drinks, left there buzzing having drunk way too much coke!! I ordered corn On he cob as a side as my baby loves it and also some hash browns. The only thing stopping me from giving this 5 stars was the chips, we went for hand cut chips which were more like wedges than chips and not that nice, next time I will go for fries though and maybe I'll update this with an additional star. I also do fear that on a busy week day lunch time the place may become too rammed up with buggies as north street is parent central, I'm sure the management will be able to come up with an innovative solution though. All in all a very nice meal, we didn't pay but if we had I would have come away feeling that I had got very good value for money.

    SUMMARY Great food…read moreand great service from a team that really care about burgers. Fantastic flavours. Highly recommended. Great job! REVIEW: THE MEAT OF THE MATTER! Date: 7 June 2014 Location: The Meating Room, St Albans Burger: Cheesburger (Emmental) Burger Price: £7.95 Overall Score: 8/10 Bun: 8/10 Sweet but light, seeded brioche bun. Normally I don't like too sweet a bun but this had a lovely sweet contrast to the tasty patty and was a good compliment to the overall flavour. It's a great choice of bun. Sauce: 7/10 The sauce was good, but a little light for my taste. It would have been great to have an American mustard to lift it but unfortunately they only had English would would have been a little too powerful. American mustard would lift the overall flavour and give a more rounded sauce, especially given the fantastic taste of the patty. Patty: 9/10 This is the centrepiece of the whole meal. I thought I was eating a piece of steak at times, it was that good. The owner tells me that they use a secret blend of cuts, including topside, and they buy direct from the abertoir. The grain of the mince was excellent and it is clear that the patty has not been overworked, keeping it tender and moist. Flavourwise, this was a sublime piece of meat. Well done chaps. Amazing job. The only reason it wasn't a 10/10 for me was because the burger was still incredibly moist when it arrived which caused it to drip a lot, saturating the bum. Perhaps it hadn't rested for quite long enough, it would have been a flawless 10 otherwise (and since when was a juicy burger a bad thing anyway!!). Garnish and Construction: 7/10 A nicely put together burger with the patty and cheese sitting atop the salad garnish. Sauce is only applied to the top bun (which is sensible because the bottom bun is at serious risk of flooding with a burger this juicy. For me (and this is personal) but a burger isn't a burger without a pickle and there wasn't a ghurkin in the house, sadly. My plea to the owners is please give us the option. The taste of a pickle dipped in burger sauce is the essence of burger-flavour (try this experiement at home, it works) so please let us add one to your fantastic burger if we want. Otherwise, great! The garnish was excellent. Too often we see limp and lifeless ingredients lurking under the patty but not so here - buoyant, vibrant salad with good crunch and colour. Try the tomato on its own. It has flavour. Who would have thought that was possible in the UK these days. Service: 9/10 Warm, fast, super friendly and extremely knowledgable. These guys really care about their customers and are happy to have a chat too. This is the great value of independent restaurants. They aren't filled with salaried employees supplicating to a stock-market-listed corporate deity. They are sparsely decorated with human beings with passion, interest and a genuine desire to see people enjoy the fruit of their labour. Long may it continue. Decor: 8/10 Despite being small they have brought an interesting industrial twist to their dining room which works well. From the tiled opening that looks straight onto the grill, through to the network of shiny copper trunking linking the glowing filaments of their incandescent bulbs the whole concept works well and makes for interesting viewing whilst you wait for a delicious meal.

    So tonight's visit is such a shame. Staff lovely as always…read more Cold food and cold restaurant. It was blinking chilly in there, they had plugged in heaters, and did turn the little white hot air heater towards me, so I did warm up, but I kept my coat on, and you could see others were cold too. Food: so, starters had a really decent size of buffalo wings that were cooked well, hubby said they "loved them, they were banging". I had crispy chicken which was hot and fresh with a nice flavoured honey mustard dip with it. Mains: shame. I had the veggie burger and it was cold, like fridge cold. It was missing the tomato salsa and onion ring it normally comes with, and was a cold stodge in a bun. So I ended up just eating my chips which were lovely to be fair. The hubster has the ribs and were nice enough. Mac and cheese was average. They did take the burger off of the bill and apologised re the burger. But it's a shame as it ruined the meal really. As I said, staff are lovely and I am a fan of this place, but tonight it really wasn't up to par. I'll of course go back, but if it is cold again I'm Walking out. I'm sure the food will be fine!!

Within 20 mitns our order was served on VERY VERY HOT ROCK. . . it was amazing for me to see it for my first time. . . . it is funny to describe CROCK STEAK, it is bit like chicken soaked in salt water. . .lol . . . We really enjoyed our meal. In the end it costed only 2/3 of the prices compared to the restaurants in London. I thank and also wish good luck to Seattle Steakhouse for their future . .
