Gave me food poisoning after eating the medium rare but there chips and onion rings were good

Needed to grab a quick bite before a show at 02 and this did the trick. I had the quinoa salad with avocado and chorizo, and it wasn't terribly filling (hey, it's a salad and the thing to get here is burgers anyway) but it tasted great. Chorizo was especially good - wish there had been more of it. Good service. read more

Oh bloody hell, there's Yelp in the UK now! And the first thing I could do is search for the best lamb burger I've ever had. Yes, it was at GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen) in the UK in August of 2007 at this very location! Ever since I've been searching for a comparable burger here in the states to no avail. I'm welcome to suggestions. I still remember how this all went down, and yes I even have pics of the burgers. I've loaded them. I went to England last fall to wander around and relax. I also made it to Paris for a few days by myself. I was lucky to have two cousins who showed me around England. On this particular day we were on our way to the Roman Baths, and they decided to stop by GBK. Even though it's a chain they raved about the quality of the burgers as well as the variety. I remember a huge board of options, but only remember the three we got (reference pics): - Sausage Burger - Speaks for itself. Meaty heaven with bacon. - Linguica Burger - The spicy sausage with cheese topped with arugula. - Greek Lamb Burger - Fresh ground lamb, hummus, cucumber raita (yogurt sauce), chili sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion. The Greek Lamb Burger had great lamb flavor without being too gamey. It was accompanied well by the raita (yogurt sauce) which sealed it's Greek flavor. When accented with the chili sauce and fresh vegetables it tasted so much like a gyro, but it was a hearty American style burger. And yes, all of this in the UK. Go figure. Cheers! read more

Whenever I tell people that I'm a vegetarian they give me the same 'you're going to be a nightmare to eat out with' expression. On the contrary, I'm incredibly easy to please - as long as there's one option on the menu, I'm a happy bunny. But I must admit, when someone suggested going to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for lunch, I died a little inside. As we were handed the menus I thought 'one salad, no frills for me please!' Oh how naive I was. With a selection of five vegetarian burgers alone I was in veggie heaven. When my veggie and camembert dish arrived, my friends mouths watered and a wave of jealously swept over them. Delicious and different - GBK is now a firm favourite of mine. read more

Sat halfway up Park Street, Gourmet Burger Kitchen does exactly what it says on the tin. They may be a little more expensive (about £7-£8) than your average pub effort, but these are some quite impressive creations. The menu is simple. Pick a burger, any burger (well, within reason), then decide if you want chips with it. Or a beer. This isn't to disparage the place, as: a) To criticise somewhere called Gourmet Burger Kitchen for selling burger would be a bit foolish; and b) the burgers are really, really nice. I've been a couple of times and the blue cheese and chorizo creations are the best, while the falafel burger is great for veggies and non-veggies alike. The only (minor) criticisms are that the chips are a bit weedy, and the system where you queue up to pay at the end at a till (at these prices you want to be treated like you're in a restaurant, not a McDonald's). read more

How did I live before GBK?? I honestly don't know the answer! I have never tasted a burger as good as the Satay Chicken that they serve here. Piled high on your plate with such a massive breast of chicken with the most delicious peanut sauce and some relish too...mmmmm perfection. Some complain because they don't include chips in the price, however there is no way I could finish off these burgers and have enough room for chips too. They do cost a bit, but they regularly do 2-4-1 deals therefore if you split the price you are looking at £4 maximum for a burger - that's cheaper than Macci-D's! read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen knows what they're doing! I had the pesto chicken burger, the baked goat cheese salad, and ginger fizz to drink. Loved it all. read more

I went here on Sunday for an extreme hangover recovery meal and GBK did not disappoint. I was feeling somewhat dodgy from a night on the sauce so didn't want anything too out there and settled for a cheese burger and some skinny fries. When they asked me how I wanted my burger cooked I knew it was going to be okay. There was nothing out of this world about the burger but everything was cooked to perfection and perfectly balanced. The rest if the menu looked good and next time I'd definitely be more adventurous. My only complaint about GBK was the skinny fries, I've never seen such a ridiculous fry in my who life...match stick fries would be a better description! read more

This is part of a chain, but as the name might suggest, not your typical fast food burger joint. The burgers here are done with a lot of flair, a touch of care and are plenty BIG. A little too big perhaps. But if you love burgers of all sorts then this place is a must. They have a wide selection of different burgers to choose from (about 30 from what I remember) and some of them are slightly alternatively and experimental. The Kiwi Burger certainly comes into this category, with a filling of beetroot, egg, pineapple, cheese and salad, it's certainly different to what you might find in McDonalds or Burger King. A mate of mine had it a few weeks ago and he gave it the double thumbs up. Only criticism I have of the place are the prices. The burgers themselves come in around £6 or £7, but they don't come with fries. You have to order them separately, which I find slightly annoying. Plus the alcohol is pretty limited and very, very expensive. The cheapest beer is a small bottle of Becks, which at £3.30, quite scandalous. read more

Good, hearty burgers. GBK does exactly what it says on the tin, Gourmet burgers. The restaurant provides enough variation on your bog standard burger so that they don't have to put anything else on, except a couple of token sandwiches. I recommend the NZ Burger, or the Mexican one, both are very good, if a little bizarre. Their milkshakes are good too. I recommend getting on their website and getting some of their discount vouchers, that way you are sure to be a fan! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place, because although the food is delicious I definitely feel like they rip you off slightly and overcharge - for example, you'll pay a standard amount for your burger but this will not include any extras. For chips with your meal - what you would expect to be customery - you are charged an additional £3! And if you want a sauce with your meal, you are also charged for this, which to be honest wound me up a bit because you ends up spending more than you should! However, if you don't mind paying a bit more then make a visit, because their burgers are great! The place itself is modern and clean, and staff are friendly as standard - but I just feel that they're too much of a rip off for my taste, and I haven't gone back for this reason. Recently however I have noticed they occasionally do a buy one get one free offer, which would make the whole experience worthwhile and enjoyable - so check this out! read more

I have been frequenting this GBK for years now, and I have to say, I really like it! All GBK's are generally quite nice, clean, wholesome with the smell of fresh burgers floating through the air. I can't put a finger on what it is, but the atmosphere here feels different, and really comfortable to be in. I like coming in here when I'm really tired and can't be bothered to cook my dinner, and want to go someplace that I know I will get a fresh and healthy dinner! my favourite is the moroccan salad with grilled chicken, which unfortunately is now off the menu, but their other salads are really awesome as well. The burger I would recommend anyone try is the almighty Kiwiburger! Always great and chocked with layers- pineapple, beetroot, a gooey egg, succulent beef and fresh salad. Yummy. It's a challenge to fit the whole burger tower at one go in your mouth. Kudos if you can! read more

For someone who doesn't eat beef, Gourmet Burger Kitchen might not sound like an attractive proposition. But sacrificing my own preferences for those of my meat-loving boyfriend on his birthday, and putting aside my reservations, I gave the one on Park Street a go - with no regrets! I went for the goats cheese burger with relish, and when it arrived I almost burst out laughing because it was so ludicrously towering, stuffed with salad, a huge round of goats cheese, and loads of relish. It was absolutely delicious - and my boyfriend's avocado and bacon burger was, I'm told, equally mouthwatering. Oh, and don't miss out on their chips with blue cheese dip. It might seem a bit expensive for a tiny pot of dip, but it's worth every penny. The place on Park Street is nearly always busy, the staff seem pretty friendly and efficient, and knowing that they have good veggie / non-beef options on the menu I'll happily go back again. read more

As a semi-vegetarian I didn't think Gourmet Burger Kitchen and I would have anything in common but I was happily wrong on this count. Obviously the range of beef and meat burgers was extensive but I was surprised that my vegetable stack was just as exciting. Layers of mushroom, butternut squash (or possibly sweet potato, I find it hard to tell), beef tomato and aubergine were piled so high in a bun that it needed two of those little cocktail sticks to keep it from toppling over. My friend went for an Aberdeen Angus burger with avocado and bacon which looked just as tasty and tall as mine and we shared a portion of chips. I do object that chips don't come with each burger but with the size of the burgers it probably would have been a challenge to finish both. You order and pay at a counter and then a waitress will bring over the food. The layout is fairly simple - all wooden furniture and clean lines, but they do have those tomato-shaped ketchup holders which give the place a little quirk. There are plenty of veggie, chicken and beef options and I would defiantly come here again. read more

A chain restaurant specialising in - you guessed it - gourmet burgers, GBK is a good bet for hungry lunchtimes. The array of burgers on offer is mindboggling and while I have found that there's actually relatively little difference in taste among some of the sauces and toppings, meat in a bun don't get much tastier than this. Although the prices are relatively steep for the food on offer (let's face it, burgers aren't the most expensive things to produce), there are usually online vouchers offering good deals. Ingredients taste relatively fresh and the burgers are more satisfying than the kind you pick up at your local greasy spoon. The space itself is blandly contemporary but clean and breezy. The big windows looking over Park street are perfect for people watching although do make it pretty embarrassing when you're trying to open your mouth wide enough to cram GBK's megalithic proportions . read more

A terrific dining experience. We came here to grab a quick bite to eat before going to the Magic: The Gathering tournament. We didn't expect much, but we were pleasantly surprised. The burgers were SUCCulent and the oreo milkshakes were just the most delicious things to ever grace my taste buds. The atmosphere was slightly ruined however when a couple starting kissing next to our table. Perhaps the most striking thing about this restaurant was the use of Scrabble letters to make signs, a really nice touch. All in all, this was a truly special experience for me and my merry men. A must try. read more

The thing about GBK is, it can be quite inconsistent. My first GBK was a few years ago in London and I loved it. Later, in Edinburgh, it was a completely disappointing experience with poor service and food. But I have to say, the Bristol location has renewed my faith. Friendly service and an awesome meal. After a rough night out, I thought GBK might be just the fix. I couldn't have made a better choice. Had a cheeseburger but subbed buffalo and topped with an onion ring and a side of sweet potato fries with BACONAISE. Whoever invented the baconaise inspire genius!!!! The perfect lunch after a rough night! Well done guys!!! read more

One of my favourite restaurants in Bristol. The food isn't clever but it is big and the range of burgers on sale is great, always something interesting to try. Last time I went they had buffalo burgers on the menu as a special. It gets expensive, especially since the fries are not included in the main burger fries, so if you go there in a group, share some fries to save money. The burgers are so big you won't go hungry. read more

Before you think burger bar - urgh! This is the fine dining version of McDonalds and Burger King and boy does it work - who would have thought?!. The place is always packed, abuzz with burger connoisseurs young, middle and old alike. The menu has a great selection of burgers, pretty much anything you could think of concocting - including a few delicious veggie options. There are salads too and the chunky chips a must - I always order an indulgent dip to go with (be careful of the garlic one - it must contain at least your RDA x 1000!). We sat around waiting to be served clearly missing the sign that saying, go up to till to order and pay...and then just chat, look out the window onto the park street passers-by and wait for your 15cm high burger to arrive. read more

Great burger! I love the classics and the cheese ones. Delicious and the sides are really good. Also, they have awesome milkshake which I highly recommend to anyone who loves milkshake. They also have iPhone/android app for when you go there, you get something free each time under some conditions! Very cool. read more

I last visited this GBK some time ago and was impressed then, so armed with a BOGOF voucher a visit on a nice Sunny Autumn day seemed a good idea. I went for the Blue Cheese Burger, a medim cooked slice of Bovine with lettuce, relish and a Blue Cheese sauce plus some Rosemary Fries for a side.The Burger was a delight, incredibly tasty, nice crisp lettuce and a Blue Cheese sauce to die for.The Fries were tasty too, though at over £2 a portion a little over priced I thought. Service was excellent from the staff, attentitive without being over baring. All in all pretty much faultless read more

came here at lunch with the boyfriend. Couldn't believe ye would charge £2.60 for a slice of cheese on the burger. I mean Tesco or Asda sell by the block cheaper. Felt robbed and we both agreed we will never return read more

Poor service. Dirty tables and floor. I'm not tight by any stretch of the imagination and rarely write bad reviews, but 3 burgers n drinks for £45. V v poor. I won't be going back there again. read more

Two stars only because of the nice server and the skinny fries. Other than that walk up to Byron. The extra five minute walk is worth it. If you are paying £10 for a burger and fries you best get a real good burger. Not here. read more

I don't know about you but I am a massive fan of the money saving expert website to the point where I rarely eat out unless I've got a value for money voucher to entice me. Thankfully, there is often a good selection to choose from, be it buy one get one free, two courses for a tenner or even just 25 per cent off. Gourmet Burger went through a stage of offering burgers on the buy one get one free option and boy did I make good use of this. Being a non meat eater it can be really difficult to find a decent burger. As much as I love spicy bean burgers it can be a tad boring if that is your only option whenever you go out to eat. That's where Gourmet Burger excels, there's a few burger options for non meat eaters including a delish portabello mushroom burger. The chips are lush chunky ones too and this is a great spot for a bit of people watching as it is elevated above Park Street. read more

I went here with a friend the other day and had the most gorgeous vegetarian burger - goats cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, relish and salad. (It has about five vegetarian options, but they all looked delicious.) I also bought a bowl of chips, which was a bit pointless because the burger was so huge! It's usually packed, and for good reason because the food is amazing, so book or you might end up having to wait an hour to sit down. Even then, it's worth it! The service was also great, and it was refreshing to eat at a place where it's easy to pay separately; since you order and pay for your food at the till before hand. read more

The two times I've been here have been really good. I don't remember what I had the first time, but the last time I came I had the Kiwi burger and it was quality. Their fries are quite good, too. Both the times I've been in this area I've walked up and down the street looking for a decent place to eat and this spot won out both times. I guess next time I won't have to bother looking around and will head straight here. read more

A great place to have a burger, without the fat levels that fast food joints offer. Loved the food, and will deifnitely visit again.

The burgers are very tasty and the selection is great. The range varies between vegetarian falafel or portobello mushroom burgers to chicken, beef, venison and even buffalo. A kiwi burger has pineapple, beetroot and egg while a mexican has a bean sauce/salsa with chillis and avocado. You pay when you order so all you have to do is eat and then go when you need to. This is an interesting ploy because it makes me feel that I can't linger and need to get out of there as soon as possible. There are beers and wines and some snacks live olives and peanuts to munch on until the food arrives. The service has always been nice even on really busy nights when the poor waiters were rushing around like mad people. The decor is quite friendly with artistic looking paintings on the walls but cosy and plain wooden tables in the dining area - quite minimalistic. They also do take away! read more

This restaurant is part of a chain and idoes some really great burgers. The burgers are huge and really delicious. They have loads of different toppings to choose from, including some quite wacky ones. Your burger doesn't come with chips so you have to buy these seperately but this wasn't an issue for me; the burgers are so big that me and my friends just usually share chips anyway or go without. The staff are friendly and have let me take half of my burger home with me when i couldn't finish it once before, which i thought was great. It's a million miles from standard takeaway burgers but still affordable. I would definitely recommend it for a lunch or casual dinner out. read more

Really disappointing. Burnt buns, overcooked meat, no condiment station, grubby sticky ketchup bottles and really expensive to boot. Tried it once and won't be back! Avoid. read more

Oh my god I love this place. It has an extensive menu, my fave being the one with the chorizo, and adds things to the menu regularly. The burgers are good and very filling, which almost excuses them for not including chips in the price. The prices are a bit over average, but definitely worth it if you enjoy burgers. And you have to order and pay at the bar which is a bit annoying. Otherwise a must eat!!!! read more

This place is a cut above your average burger bar, offering a huge selection and huge portions! The burgers are delicious, as are the chunky chips. Always really popular; there's a new branch in Cabots Circus which has had queues out of the door everytime I've seen it. You can't book so you have no choice but to join the queue, but it's worth the wait! read more

I expected more from this international chain. I thought it was too pricey for just a regular burger - doesn't even come with a side!!! Plus, the ridiculously tiny portion of chips I received were better suited feeding a small bird. Furthermore, the amount of choices on the menu were totally overwhelming, the drink prices ludicrous, and the staff looked like they were completely uninterested in helping, serving, or caring. There are so many better options for a much lower price and better atmosphere/experience. Eek! Methinks not. read more

I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but with GBK I make an exception! The burgers are delicious. Side orders (chips and salad) are kind of expensive but apart from this I am a big fan! read more

i bought the chicken burger but unfortunately not 100% satisfied, the mayonnaise was a bit weird tasting! but nice layout in the restarunt

very nice in here, great looking and i enjoyed the meal.

If you like burgers, then the Gourmet Burger Kitchen is heaven. With a great selection of different high quality burgers, veal to vegi, they have it. This place is sophisticated and dynamic enough for business lunches and also kids parties. You can have a beer with your meal if you fancy and there are free mints when you're all done If you can finish it!!! read more

We loved it! What a pleasant change to eat a decent, cooked to order burger. Yummy! Took my 10 year old for his birthday treat, he thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely go back. Have also been to the one in Cabot Circus and is just as good. Worth a visit peeps. read more
