The restaurant has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and serves up an American-style BBQ menu. Portion sizes are big and the quality of the meat is never in doubt. On this visit I discovered their chicken wings, which have to be the best chicken wings I've had in the UK, and I'm struggling to remember any wings sampled in the U.S. that would beat them! The secret is definitely in the coating - I'm just gutted I didn't discover them sooner! Their southern fried chicken burger is my favourite burger from here, however unfortunately on this occasion they served it with blue cheese on top rather than the regular cheese I asked for. No problem though, they were more than happy to make a fresh burger which was just as delicious as always. The Surf, Bird & Turf Combo and BBQ Ribs are also great choices. My biggest plus about this place though is their fries; the best fries I've ever eaten. Consistently awesome on every visit, beautifully crispy and well-seasoned. Big 5 stars from me as I've had 5 fantastic meals here, and they have Brahma on tap which is a bonus.

They sell burgers and wings etc and I love that you get kitchen roll on the table. They get 3 stars because I feel they need to work on their food a bit. When I sat down I got a doors and was given some complimentary popcorn. They have blue moon on draft as well as the doors and some other American beers in bottles. The menu is your typical American style restaurant, burgers, Philly cheese steaks, hot dogs, fries and chicken wings. I opted for the Philly cheese steak and some fries. This is where it goes wrong a bit, the bread was cheap cheap cheap, really fluffy and over dry and breaking up, I'd go so far as to say it may have been day old bread.... The steak was tough and overlooked but the flavour itself was quite nice. The chips were good and I was given a bit pit of Mayo. My waitress was a wee star, I just thought she was brilliant at her job and she gave brilliant customer service and she's the reason for 3 rather than 2 stars, I would have given 4 but I want to give them something to work towards, as the food must be as good as the customer service. I would return again but would have no hesitation sending back if I had the same bread issues again. They should really think of getting a local baker to produce their bread rather than buying bulk from the catering supplier.

Pulled pork was a new addition and we ordered a Chicago pulled pork burger and a mushroom Swiss burger. Burgers start at £8.95 and include salad, fries and slaw. Our orders were taken quickly -a good sign as the place was packed. The food arrived in minutes, was piping hot and freshly prepared. Everything was homemade (except the frozen chips which I can forgive as they were straight out of the fryer and crisp). Not gourmet burgers but very good and great vfm; with a Bottle of Kaliber and a chocolate icecream shake it came to £23. From pulling in to pulling out, we spent 45 minutes here. What's not to like?

It was soooo flavorful, tender, and juicy! Seriously! And it was a very filling and hearty meal that fueled our further sightseeing for the day. Service was quick and friendly as well. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the rotisserie chicken!

My sister and I are a bit picky, but I'd had this spot marked for months in preparation for our trip to Bath as one of the few restaurants that had something we'd both eat, and boy did it turn out. We split the margarita pizza and a side of asparagus, which the chef ran all the way upstairs to make sure they had, -- it was so good. Possibly the best asparagus I've ever had, and we were stoked to get some veggies with dinner. The pizza crust was perfectly thin and crispy, but thick enough at the end to really sink your teeth into. Fresh basil and expertly roasted tomatoes (absolutely bursting with flavor) made for an off the charts margarita. It's hard to go wrong here but, this one really knocked it out of the park. Seating was quick, though we were on the earlier side, with water pitcher all to ourselves, which we love to get, and very clean well kept restrooms! -- though not very accessible, you must climb four flights of stairs. Try Mr. B's Emporium of Reading Delights if you have time before or afterwards, which is a beautiful and well stocked bookstore right across the street. Definitely stop by if you're in town, this one was a win! (Try the chocolate ice cream).

Atmosphere. This is a purpose build place in a shopping centre where everything looks new and fresh, but still l think this place lacks in any or much character. First impressions. Two of us came here one evening just to try this place and was met by a very unhappy male member of staff who looked rather like shaggy from Scooby doo. He handed us a menu, if l was a potential customer walking past l wouldn't have bothered going in as all staff looked miserable & depressed. This is still quite a new place and the restaurant area looked rather empty but still that didn't put us off. I saw on their menu that they served ice cream floats so l ordered two root beer ice cream floats. Around fifteen minutes had passed and was told that they didn't even have root beer. Overall not a well run place too many dizzy staff that fail to communicate with exact other.

I am pleased to make Gourmet Burger Kitchen my first review on my trip to Cardiff, my latest of…read morecities visited, in the capital of Wales this time, and I hope this place sets the tone for the rest of my stay here as it was a relatively good experience I had here. GBK have 53 stores in the United Kingdom, and as I recall they have 3 stores in Cardiff, the capital of Wales alone, this branch is classed as "The Cardiff Library" branch for some reason and is apart of the St David's mall, and is right next to Wangyama and Carluccio's, rival restaurant chains specializing in different cuisine, being asian fusion and Italian respectively. My server here seemed pretty friendly, and got me sat down quite quick, and made sure I had visited GBK before so I knew the essentials such as ordering at the bar and the cool loyalty scheme with there app which gives you free sides, milkshakes and burgers, for visiting, for example every other visit you get an award, if you visit 3 different branches you get a free burger, if you try all 6 milkshakes, you get a free one, so that is pretty cool. This GBK was quite nice, and cool inside however it was smaller than my local branch in Spinningfields in Manchester, it just seemed nicer with a cooler vibe, due to its location and decoration in Cardiff. I decided to order a Gluten Free Cheese and Bacon burger, with Applewood cheese with some skin on chips, using my free loyalty code on this occasion having ranked up two previous visits on my loyalty card at my local Spinningfields store, and of course I tried a milkshake, working my way up there offer were you try them all for a free one. I was served at the bar by Conor, he seemed pretty friendly, and I did ask him for a few recommendations such as the best cheese, and the best milkshake, and what Applewood Cheese like, and decided to order a banana milkshake and the Applewood Cheese based on his reccomendation. As always, the milkshake taken a while to come and taken much longer than my friend's San Maguel, as well as being priced more expensive than his San Miguel at £4.30, however it did taste fresh and it was very nice, and I did also enjoy it, as I did previously with there lime flavor at their Spinningfields branch, although this wasn't my favorite milkshake at GBK, having preferred the Lime, I still was pleased with the drink and enjoyed it. Moving onto my burger, this also was quite nice however it was abit to overfilled to what I expected, even with some sort of habenero jam and relish, which sadly wasn't very nice, it was the typical gluten free bun GBK use from a bakery in the north of England, which was good to see, and my burger was quite nice, minus the lettuce which it was stuffed with, and it just tasted and even felt hard and low quality, and the habenero jam or relish gave it a horrible taste too and worsened the burger sadly, and I had to scrape this off. My chips were average, they were very hot however the portion just seemed a little small, and it definitley wasn't the best chips I have had from a GBK branch, I regret to report. Overall, this place is quite cool and I am pleased that they helped get my Cardiff trip off with a bang, but sadly I can't help but feel this place has only done enough for a solid three star rating in what is actually a landmark for me being my 300th review which awarded three stars, making three only the second rating I have awarded over 300 times to joining two stars in that case, however don't be confused I am giving this branch of GBK a well deserved three.

I like having the option of choosing whatever ingredients you want in a burger! I have eaten the most amazing burgers in the world in New Zealand so had very high expectations of GBK, sadly though these burgers are never quite as amazing as they sound on paper and I don't feel they justify the price tag. Luckily they have lots of offers and vouchers so everyone can have a try for cheaper. I'm quite happy they sell New Zealand beer too to wash down my burger, while my boyfriend is a massive fan of the Oreo milkshakes! I like this restaurant more than the Cardiff Bay one, its bigger and feels less plastic and clinical. I say give it ago, just maybe don't expect the best burger of your life.
