Gourmet Burger Kitchen is, as the name suggests, a high-end burger restaurant. This isn't somewhere you come for cheap fast food, oh no, this is where you come for a real, proper, meal! Great meat, great flavours. The menu includes the standard 'Classic' burger which is exactly what you expect... but there is so, so, much more. There's an Avocado & Bacon Burger, a Camembert, Hash Brown & Truffle Burger and my personal favourite, the Kiwi Burger. This one is New Zealand themed and features beetroot, fried egg and pineapple. Just stunning. The meat, in my experience, has always been excellently cooked. They always get it spot on - not bloody, but not overdone. Just a tad pink, which is how I like it. They also offer vegetarian options, such as Falafel, Bean and also Goats Cheese, Aubergine & Pesto. I believe there is an option to design your own as well, but I haven't done this yet as there's already so many to choose from. The prices aren't cheap, but they're well worth the money. Once you taste it, I doubt you'll grumble. As I said earlier, this isn't a quick snack type of place: this is a Gourmet Burger after all! Gourmet Burger Kitchen is one of my favourite places to eat and I could go back time after time. Excellent food indeed! Try to keep an eye out also, as they often to voucher deals getting you free food. read more

Good Poisoning- So I came to Great Britain, I ate chicken at this restaurant and got food poisoning! It ruined my whole day! In fact it ruined my day for 3 days! I went to the doctor and the doctor confirmed that it was Salmonella! So I threw up the first day and second day! And on the third day I had diarrhea! So I did some research and this restaurant had many cases of food poisoning! So if you want to loose weight and want to throw up eat at this restaurant! In the state the Health Department would shut them down but in Great Britain I guess you are allowed to build up your immune system and get food poisoning! I don't recommend the diet! read more

We ate here while visiting liverpool a while back (i just never got around writing my review at the time!). I ordered a veggie burger and so did my husband, we shared potato fries, sweet potato fries and a side of house slaw. For the price-quality experienced I have to say we were very dissapointed. The establishment was dirty, service was tardy and the food was average at best. I wouldnt recommend, and definitely would not visit again. read more

More like Slow Burger Kitchen?! No one came to clean the tables, we cleaned it ourselves, we ordered at 17:33 and the order was late by 30 minutes, we complained and the reply was "I can refund you, the order just came to us". All people came after us was actually served but not us. another 15 minutes passed and we asked again, found out that they didn't actually start our order until we complained the first time. The order came after 1 hour and 10 minutes. I am so angry at the staff and their way of dealing with the situation, they didn't even apologize. I didn't get to picture the food as I was so frustrated by that moment. The burger was tasty but not exceptional. The fires was ok. read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - The receipt of what we ordered. - Burgers Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

I've avoided Gourmet Burger Kitchen ever since they changed their mobile app over, which has made it impossible for me to log-in on multiple devices, even after creating a new account too, meaning they've basically said Goodbye to their loyalty scheme but after a bad experience at Zizzi nearby, I decided to call in here to get some lunch. I ordered a Gluten-Free American cheeseburger, only to be told after making my way back to the table after ordering and paying at the counter (I was told I had to order at the counter, even though this would have violated government legislation due to having an allergy), that they didn't have any gluten-free buns... this made me rather upset as I had given them notice I was ordering gluten-free by requesting the menu and being told they had them... only to be told No after paying. I already couldn't have the chips as they're fried in the same oil as gluten-containing ingredients, which I feel is stupid as it makes fries which were gluten-free to become a coeliac's worst nightmare. I opted for the option for it to be served in a bowl with slaw instead, and I rather wish I didn't, the burger was deconstructed and tasted awful, the slaw was hard and inedible and it had no wetness to it, while the burger was a mess. Despite asking for medium-well, one half of my burger was charcoal and the other was undercooked, it felt like they'd cooked it medium on one side, and well-done on the other... maybe they need to learn what medium-well actually means. My vanilla milkshake was the only thing I enjoyed, but as they now serve it with paper-straws, it was so difficult to drink, it's a shame they've ditched plastic straws, I get they want to be more environmentally friendly but surely bamboo would have been a better option, which is an awesome sustainable material and doesn't go soggy or make the beverage hard to drink, which is offered at Joe and the Juice inside John Lewis. I've had many burgers from here which have been poor to OK, which is a shame too, sadly my experience here from having poor quality food and only being told they had no gluten-free buns after paying really is the final nail in the coffin and I've run out of patience to give GBK more chances. 1* read more

The best thing about Gourmet Burger is not the burgers but it's location along the Liverpool 1 terrace overlooking Chavasse Park. That's not to say that the burgers here are not good, they are but they're just, well, burgers! Burgers have moved on from the greasey flat pattis from vans outside clubs and MacDonald's was your only option from somewhere with a clean griddle as they are now the 'gourmet' culinery food of choice. Every restaurant now seems to offer their own homemade version, taking advantage of our taste for organic, cornbred, freerange meats. Gournet Burger is, for me not that unique. The burgers are similar in choice and quality to many other places some of which will inlcude fries or chunky chips in the price of their burger. Good quality but nothing exciting. read more

I have to agree with Anthony on this one. Whilst Gourmet Burger Kitchen is set in an attractive location on Liverpool One's restaurant terrace, their burgers are nothing special and definitely over priced. It cost me £6.35 for a 6oz classic burger which consisted of a lean beef burger in a sesame bun filled with a few salad leaves. No doubt, it tasted fine but not the best burger I've ate in town. I felt the bun could have been thicker and it wasn't the best of quality either (a little crumbly). Everything else looked and tasted fresh though, plus the service was friendly. One thing to note, is that they automatically charge you for a large burger if you don't mention you want small, which is a little cheeky. Remember, chips aren't included either and you would have to pay an extra £3 for a portion. In terms of value for money, you're best heading off to Burger King; you'll save pounds and end up with a fuller stomach! read more

GBK have taken the concept of the "burger" to a whole new level, attention to detail is the order of the day as they pimp yo burger to the max. Meticulously designed are these burgers from top to bottom. When I say top to bottom, I sure as hell mean it. Forget the tower burger from that greasy giant corporate burger brand this is the place to find burgers that tower over you. You can just tell that the whole place has the X-Factor!!!! Look at that menu look at those names, "The Wellington" "The Buffalo" these are blockbuster burgers!!! Fact is that whether you go for the mystery of the Babaganoush with its mashed aubergines blended with tahini & spices or the Greek lamb with wholesome houmous, cucumber raita, fresh chilli sauce & salad, the burger is sure to blow you away. Coming in at less than £9 they are also great value for money seen as they are "gourmet". The service is great to boot. Cant get enough of it me. So go check check check it out because GBK is A-OK chamon! read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen sounded delicious when I read a description of what it provided and it turned out to be yet another top quality eatery within the Liverpool one vicinity. This place takes something as simple as a burger and makes it into an art form and one which is truly delicious at that. The best thing about this establishment is its dedication to organic produce which means that not only is your meal delicious but it is morally correct too and this is something which is becoming increasingly relevant in the modern age. The prices here were steep and I had to remind myself that this was no ordinary burger that I had just purchased. Any concerns over price quickly disappeared on tasting what they had to offer and since my first bite I have been a firm fan of this establishment. read more

Great staff, excellent burger, on came wrong and was very efficiently dealt with, im here with my wife and 2 kids.

As an American eating a burger in England, I didn't expect much. Boy was I shocked when I bit into one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Everything about it was perfect. Really the only issue I had was the weird ordering service, but I chalk that up to being a yank and the fairly high prices (10£) for a burger with no sides. read more

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Nice outdoor seating area at Liverpool 1 - Burgers Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Up in the lofty heights of L1 overlooking Chavasse Park is Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Now here are chefs who really know their way around a good burger. If you fancy some greasy fatty food you won't find it here, instead they have succulent and mouthwatering 100% Aberdeen Angus with all the relish and salad you can eat jammed on there. I'd never been before and didn't know what to expect. Considering they're in the burger market, the menu is vast. Not just your average beef, ketchup and gerkin on a stingy bun (Thanks, but no thanks, Maccy Ds.), they have a huge range of flavours. Jamaican, Cajun, BBQ, Blue cheese...you name it, they got it. I wanted to try something extra special as the prices are a little high I thought it would be better to spend it on the most deee-licious thing I could see. That's where the speciality burgers come in. Check out the Chorizo with sweet potato. OMG. My friend ordered the Greek Lamb, that way we had double the taste for our money! Chips are extra but to be honest I had to de-assemble the burger before I could eat it it was so big. Expect to get a little messy. For with our next meal we were given a voucher, Buy one get the next one half price. It won't be long til I'm pigging out again. Top notch. read more

Nice and clean, quick, friendly service. Really tasty burgers, if a little expensive, around £12 each (sharing a bowl of chips between 2) including drinks. However, there are frequently offers available (check Martin's Money Tips website for print off vouchers and info on where to find offers). read more

Very friendly staff, great location, wide range of burgers including lots of vegetarian choices so don't be put off by its name! Great location on the restaurant plaza in Liverpool One, handy for shops and cinema, welcome addition to Liverpool! read more

Table was still dirty even though it had been wiped before sitting down, chunky chips were overcooked, very very expensive for what you get not value for money, £4.50 for a strawberry milkshake that was sweet, over £5.00 for a burger, Camembert and cranberry was what I had far too much cranberry sauce that's all i could taste, rosemary fries cold and tasteless. The only decent thing was the staff who were polite and also the decor read more

I love the gourmet burger kitchen - the food is delicious! It isn't really that expensive for what you're getting. Okay, you could go to Mcdonalds and get a cheaper burger but it would not compare to GBK's at all. I've tried the beef with blue cheese sauce and the mexicana burger and both were so so delicious. They are quite messy to eat though so not an ideal place to go on a first date unless you don't mind getting sauce all over your face :-D The location of this one in Liverpool is great, just above all the new shops, near the cinema and close to the Albert Dock too. read more

I really like the food at Gourmet Burger Kitchen and I think that it is actually the vegetarian options that are the tastiest meals. I love the portobello mushroom burgers. They are so tasty yet really healthy at the same time. I've got vouchers for here loads of times so look out for that. The food isn't too pricy anyway: about £7 a burger. read more

A decent burger is shockingly difficult to come by in this part of the world. Nine times out of ten either the meat is overcooked, or the overall product lacks flavor, quality or imagination. So how does GBK stack up? I've had several encounters with various incarnations of GBK, and, much as it pains me to say it, this chain is my go-to for a good burger, especially the Liverpool location. I've had the cheese & bacon burger twice; and both times found it perfectly cooked (medium rare for me), juicy, flavorful, and warmed throughout - as opposed to having a warmed patty combined with a refrigerator-cold bun and toppings, or medium-rare meat that is cold in the middle. It's nice to see that GBK knows what it's doing in this respect. On one occasion my partner had the blue cheese burger with gorgonzola and found it less flavorable than mine, although still very nicely done. In addition, GBK's onion rings are excellent, while their garlic aioli is positively to die for. Their bottled beer selection is also above-average for a chain; the kiwi-based Steinlager is a charming addition. GBK falls short in terms of ambiance and overall experience, however. Tempting as it might be to linger for a drink or two after dinner, the garishly bright lighting at the Liverpool location in particular means that you generally don't stick around for long after you've finished eating. In addition, although the prices aren't out of line for a high-quality burger, they're a little disproportionate for a place that looks like McDonald's. Hence the otherwise unwarranted comparisons to other fast food restaurants in previous reviews on this site. I've always found the service friendly, if occasionally a little slow. Burger connoisseurs who also want to linger over drinks afterward will find a high-quality burger in a far more palatable atmosphere at Delifonseca close by. Purely on the grounds of deliciousness, however, GBK is hard to beat. read more

I broke my own rule of making sure I didnt visit anymore food chains or franchises by going to Gourmet Burger after a friend of mine decided we should grab something to eat there. Its a simple format of basically their own different types of burgers made from good quality meat at a fairly high price. Unlike Mcdonalds this restaurant chain has burgers which are full of taste and actually fill you up as they are big. I ordered the Habanero burger whcih was very tasty and not overcooked to ensure you get the full taste of the meat. This was washed down with a large strawberry milkshake. A must for a burger fan. read more

I've just been to gourmet burger and it was disgusting. It was not gourmet and it was bland, flavourless and expensive. Also, the restaurant was dirty. read more
