Came in just a bit before closing as the pubs had already closed out all their kitchens. Everything at GBK was quite good though - loved the burger, awesome flavors and especially liked that there was some real heat to the spicy burger. Halloumi bites were great too, perfectly cooked and came with a tasty sauce. Would definitely get this all again, quick service, reasonable prices, great food. read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - spicy burger with rocket and aoli with some halloumi bites - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

This is by far the best burger I've ever had... till date. The location and patio seating is perfect to crowd watch while you enjoy your pint. I had Habanero Chicken, hot habanero jam, mozzarella cheese, jalepenos, baconnaise, paprika onions, rocket, pickled onion. You can have it either grilled or fried. All the jams, sauces and accompaniments paired so well together. It was insane...I am obsessed with this just after the first bite, I've never finished a meal quicker. The skinny fries were delicious too. read more

We stopped in for lunch today. Since we arrived right at noon when they opened we were sat right away. We opted for outside since it was nice out (but sadly didn't realize we were opting for a smoking section by doing that - so word to the wise for that). Our waiter came to get our order very quickly which was great. My girls opted for a smaller cheeseburger, fries and Oreo shake and the other a bacon cheeseburger and fries. We ordered a tower of onion rings to share. My hubby got the blue cheese burger and a lager, and I got the bacon cheeseburger and a cider. The food all came out quickly and it all tasted amazing. I would totally come back again. read more

Definitely a gourmet burger and the rosemary fries are excellent. No need for a double burger here. Lunch was great with a hop House lager, ice cold read more

Amazing, amazing service. Our server was great, the manager was great, and everybody that was in there came out said hello asked where we were from and were incredibly friendly. The food was fantastic. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my wife had the burger and it was slamming. read more

The pesto chicken burger was delicious. The skinny fries and homemade BBQ sauce did not disappoint. We came at a fairly busy time and still got great service. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The burgers were wonderful. The manager and staff were so friendly and kind. My family and I asked him all kinds of stuff about Ireland and how he came to live and work in Ireland. read more

Seriously good burgers. They have lamb and chicken, but their burgers are delicious. They are well cooked real beef with a wide variety of toppings (I had Dubliner cheese and bacon). Their fries are good, but go for the onion rings. Service was fast and friendly, even during the lunch rush. read more

I think GBK is exactly how you imagine it to be. It's grand. The food is good - not amazing, not bad, but it's grand. Big burgers with lots of toppings and a potential for lock jaw if you try to wrap your mouth around all of it at the same time..! It's pretty good value and they have a lot of choice - also bonus. Service is good. Again, nothing to write home about, but this can come from working in chains, where the staff aren't totally on board with the mission, but they're doing their job, so nothing wrong with that either! One cool thing about this place is the location - being on South William St, it's great for people watching and general vibes. Overall, it's a winner if you're not expecting a mind-blowing experience, and want to know what's in store! read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Pretty good deal - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

What a concept...really cool place. I really wanted to give it 4 stars but I just can't. I was really excited to see that they have other sort of burgers besides beef (I don't like beef) and they were not just on the menu as an afterthought. There was lamb, either fried or grilled chicken, and I think a veggie option as well. First of all, I was a bit surprised that this was a sit down restaurant (with a waiter and everything). It did not look like a cheap fast food joint but more of a good food fast place where you order at the counter. O well, no big deal. I got a fried chicken sandwich with avocado and bacon...it was huge! Then I had fries with rosemary and sea salt. I ordered garlic mayo (was extra) to go with it. I love that they have a bunch of different choices to dip your fries in. The tast was really good, but I would have liked it if the fried were a bit crispier. I also had a peanut milkshake to go with everything. The thing was huge and served right in the metal blending thing. The shake was good but I was a bit disappointed because I thought it could have been a bit more flavorful. I could not even come close to finishing everything it was so much food. Even tough there were some bad points, I really want to like this place and would certainly go back and try it again. While it is not "expensive" per se I ended up paying €19 for my meal. read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Menu card - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

Burgers are a good choice from time to time. Selection of TaxiDriver Burger, Smoking Joe Burger or Avocado one, is interesting. I chose the TaxiDriver and it is very good. There is something innovative in incorporating an onion ring in the burger. If you like smoked chilli mayo and cheese, go for the it. Another good choice is the Cheese Bites, they are what they are supposed to be... cheesy. They are not too heavy so there is always space after them for something else. The Homemade onion rings are good with the garlic sauce but those Rosemary fries, I am not very convinced. I love rosemary. It is a very aromatic herb, a bit like mustard and a bit bitter. I missed all that plus the fries were dried. I know that they are only fries but the details count. read more

I had a grilled chicken salad and a hand cut chips. The salad was pretty good. The dressing was sweet and I love the addition of cashews,, the chicken was burned and not tender at all! And the hips were Saggy and cold.. Not recommended! read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Grilled chicken salad and chips - Burgers Near Me - Dublin, D

Disgraceful service from the staff members we dealt with. Came as a group of 11, and the waitress asked one of our members to sit on their own at a different table as there was no room. We made room. Once the bill arrived, we asked for it to be split, to which we were told it couldn't be done. We then asked if those who had card could pay separately, to which they could, and the remainder had to be paid by cash. We were not informed before ordering that we had to request the deals presented on giant posters around the shop for a starter and a main for €14.95, and student deals, so we were refused those too once we were paying. They also told us that we owed more than we did once the card payments had been made, and refused to accept that they had counted the remaining payment incorrectly until we had to count it up for them. The three members of staff spent the remainder of the time we were there making rude comments about us and talking about us loudly beside the till. Incredibly rude and uncomfortable behaviour presented by the staff towards us, and for this none of us will not be returning. read more

Since I started using Yelp, I've wondered what I'll do when faced with a truly bad meal. So here goes. Normally I'm a sucker for any type of massive burger, but I might have to reconsider after tonight. Literally everything we ordered was burnt, our chicken skewers, two burgers, even the buns. Cancer-tastic! read more

Last night was my fourth visit to GBK, and I probably won't go back. The first time I went it was great, the second and third times it was ok, and last night, I left disappointed. The hamburgers have all the potential in the world to be really good, but they are over-cooked and dry. That, coupled with an enormous bun, makes eating difficult. I think their menu sounds great, but when burgers are over-done, it doesn't matter how good the fixings are. read more

Have been here a few times in the last year working nearby it was always a great place to grab something quick and relatively cheap for that part of Dublin But was recently there last week and availed of the lunch deal of chicken wings and a burger for a tenner and the drink for an extra 2 quid was a no brainer Having tried every burger on the menu bar the veggie one I decided to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. It contained two of my favourite vegetables sweet potato and butternut squash combined with a panko crust it truly was divine. One fault I would have is that they tend to put too much mayo on the burger. I also want to thank my server Stefania who went the extra mile on the day to make sure I had a memorable meal my only regret was not having more change to give her the tip she truly deserved. read more

The more I think about it, and the more I look at the menu and what I was supposed to get with my burger, the more disappointed I am. My Puy Lentil (veggie) Burger did not taste at all of green curry or spring onion, but a lot like undercooked lentils. The 'salad' on top was just a massive piece of lettuce, thin tomato and too much red onion. I'm also not a fan of the buns that they used, but I think thats more of a personal preference (have options?). The fries were very good though, probably due to the face that they had rosemary on them. The server asked if we wanted mayo with them, which was delicious. Massive sodas as well. Service was okay, quick till we were finished, then we were never asked if we wanted another drink or the check and sat for another hour or so (which was fine, didn't feel like going to a pub or home, but it was just odd that they did not ask) read more

Not bad at all as a burger franchise. Certainly much tastier than any McDo or Burger K and co. Their burgers are indeed tasty, the dressing quite nice, maybe the salad and tomato they serve with are not the freshest. So if you want to treat yourself once in while with some meaty stuff, you can't go wrong with GBK! read more

Pricey but that is to be expected at the location in center of temple bar. The burgers are large and the Coke came in a big glass versus the tiny bottle you get in a lot of other places. However big does not necessarily equal great. the burger was okay, nothing spectacular. At first I was going to give them four stars but the fries were terrible. It could just be the batch that was served up to me. They also have three options of fries, one of which is Hei Hei fries. According to the menu they come with a seasoning which made me think they were made with it. In my case the already poor quality fries were served with a shaker so that i could season the fries myself. For a large coke, large yet dry burger, and not very good fries... 18.00 euros. read more

This self service restaurant was very interesting and great The menu mainly offered burgers and sides of all types. Unfortunately the only vegan option on the menu was the avocado salad (yum) - not even the falafel burger :( which I was very disappointed by Plus they couldn't change the size of the salad which was only a side so I ended up ordering an extra side of fries, which kind of beats the point of ordering a salad in the first place Whilst I couldn't try one myself the ("taxi driver") burger (according to my bf) was unbelievable- and judging be the smell and look it must've been absolutely delicious The burgers can be made to your preference (well-medium) Free refills on the Drinks are another plus Prices are definitely ok and portions just And the interior is very nice too Will come back :) read more

Sweet and busy little spot.... Good for chats with friends and couples. Burghers are great and a nice pint. Cain chicken bites are at ad too dry I've had them a few times. Love there chips!!

Stopped here on he way to Dublin Castle for lunch. They were busy but were very accommodating to us, 4 plus baby. The burger was great the fries were kind of plane. The Madagascar shake was awesome. read more

I'm sorry to say I was disappointed with this GBK. I ordered the avocado beef burger but I found it to be bland. I imagined creamy avocado with fresh crispy bacon and a juicy big burger. Instead I got a dry tasteless burger with hard bland bacon and little avocado. :( I won't be going back to this place I'm afraid. It just was not worth it. read more

Less than one star really. The meat taste horrible, the brioche bread was so stale it crumbled in my hands upon picking it up. Over priced and simply the worse burger I've ever had! read more

Four of us ate here on Friday night when it was very busy, and we all absolutely loved it. We ate various burgers (veggie, cheese, bacon & cheese), falafel, onion rings, and olives. The prices were a little high, but the food was worth it. I have to say my cheese burger was literally the best burger I have ever had. I had the smaller size, which only affects the size of the meat patty, which in my opinion is better. We ordered the onion rings because we saw someone else order them and they looked great. We were not disappointed. They came with herb mayo. They were wonderful. I will say that the soda is not free refills, but that may only be standard in the US. My friends who had the other meals loved their food just as much as I did. Highly recomended! read more

I think the service is a bit slow sometimes but the food is very good so it is worth to try if you don't mind to wait.

I am very happy to add a few stars since my last review! I'd grown tired of this place and I always had sub-par experiences. I was dragged there reluctantly yesterday, but was very surprised to find that the burger I had was nothing short of excellent. The meat wasn't overcooked, the toppings were fresh and delicious, the chips were great. They seem to have changed their chicken nuggets (kids menu), which taste like real chicken. read more

Served a latte in a glass, not able to hold it, so they put it into a paper cup as opposed to put it in a cup with a handle, won't come back or recommend read more

Nice place but not the greatest burger to eat. I tried the falafel burger and the chicken and for both I found it hard to eat them. They look nice but they're just really Tall! and I did not enjoy eating it at all. The chips is nice and dips too. But any way I am not a fan of burgers and I don't usually eat it. But I Know for sure its not the best at all. read more

The bacon and cheese burger (done medium) was an experience from another reality. The bacon crisp, I threw on some delicious and crunchy onion rings, an extra helping of sweet savory BBQ sauce. The lettuce had a satisfying crunch to it and the bun was browned to perfection. I'd recommend it and go back in a heartbeat, and I'm not a burger person. read more

Go for the coleslaw and the veggie burgers! Speedy Service, cold beer and lots of choice. Very clean.

Other people's reviews of this place made me wary, but my favorite Dubliners insisted it was all lies. This wasn't a bad place at all, in fact, it was downright tasty. The burger was not dry and tasteless as others had offered, it was good. Sure, it's not truly a "gourmet burger", but it beats Supermac's and other fast food. I think it's just supposed to be a nicer fast food joint. Anyways, the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The rosemary fries were awesome. read more

We waited a bit longer than we'd have liked but the burgers were great. We had the chicken satay burger which was cooked to juicy perfection and the vegetarian burger with vegan cheese which was also very good. The slaw is also nice. read more

Went to the Liffey Valley branch and the food was excellent and most of the service, however some of the staff are incredibly rude and honestly it's so obvious that they couldn't care less about you or their job. The salt cellars are unclean and most of the drinking glasses chipped and cloudy obviously from being washed incorrectly. Will be returning to GBK, but definitely a different branch, was disappointed read more

Best burgers we have had this far in Dublin. The salad with the goat cheese & Camembert & cranberry chicken sandwich was also superb.

Excellent burgers! Service wasn't the best, but our orders were perfect and the drinks were good. We will definitely be back.

Great Burgers. Great onion rings. Terrible service. Servers are inattentive and aloof. Sat for ten minutes before being acknowledged and sat for another 10 after our plates were removed before we could flag down our server for the tab. Too bad. read more

Had dinner with my girlfriend here...I have to say, I was very impressed by the food and service provided...we will definitely be coming back soon! read more
