Located super close to Waterloo station. Great friendly staff and atmosphere. They have a booth seating set up which is nice and different from any other branch of GBK I have been to. I ordered the Cajun chicken burger with a side of chunky fries. The burger was cooked to perfection and the chips were crunchy and fresh. This was all washed down with elderflower, lemon and lime drink (free refills).

Kiwi burger. Beetroot, fried egg, Panko chicken, pineapple and cheddar. Insane

Having only tried this place for the first time last month, it pains me to only just discover that this venue used to be on taste card, and I'd never used it there :( So the nearest place I would liken GBK to is a cross between Five Guys, Byron and Nandos. Whilst not as spartan as Five guys, expect to find a table and order at the front. You're offered peanuts similar to Five Guys, however they will give you a glass to put peanuts into, rather than just helping yourself on arrival. Ordering is as simple as Nandos, and they will helpfuly customise your orders within reason. For instance I ordered the Kiwi Burger and replaced the beef with chicken. It's a nice touch that you also get to choose between a grilled chicken breast, or having it fried in panko breadcrumbs. Panic being that really fine japanese breadcrumb you find on chicken made specially for katsu curry. Service is prompt and the burgers massive. The kiwi burger was stacked! The sweet potato fries I'd ordered as an accompanying dish was heaven with the small dipping container of BACONAISE. Yes that's a thing and yes it's just as awesome as it sounds. In all, the food is great, service is brilliant and prices just right. Customisation is key. If you're fussy about how you have your food, this is a place that won't judge or make you feel like your small request will take them an extra 30 mins to cater for. If you don't want bun in your burger they'll happily substitute with a small salad. That's just how things should be done.

The smell in the entrance isn't pleasant, but any further thought on it is whisked away by the prompt service of being shown to a table (be it that it's strange the staff picks up the menu behind the guest waiting in line). Shown to a table you have to then get up and make it to the bar to place your order. A bit odd, but acceptable given that service is again good, prompt and friendly. It is a while waiting for the food to arrive and one notes how cold the room is, at times. It's as if a back door is opened and cold winter air pours in waves into the seating area. I am about to ask to be reseated but it's random and I decide to remain. Food arrives and it's well presented. I start with the fries and they are cold. I have them replaced and again service is fast and friendly, but while warm my fries arrive too salty. The burger is pretty (the yellow cheese!), but dry and gives lots of resistance. The bread is like something you find at McDonalds and the patty while ordered 'medium' is on the 'well done' side. In fact it reminds me of a restaurant chain in Thailand, Sizzler, where they'd put a flag in the steak stating how it was cooked. There and here, then and now, the flag means nothing. It's only tacky. A real chef would cook to your taste, and would not need to put a sign saying something else on it... Medium is not medium just because a flag says so. Overall I'd say staff is good, the place not so much, the food even less. It cannot compare with a proper gourmet burger restaurant, in Europe, US or elsewhere.

Trying this out

I really like this branch of GBK - cool booths, more seating in the back too and good staff. In terms of burgers, I think they offer a lot of choice and they are cooked well (I like that you get the option of how well you would like your burger cooked). I tried the lamb burger this time which was pretty awesome (Harissa, mint yoghurt, cheese and rocket - yum). Accompany that with shoe string fries and an alcoholic ginger beer and you've got yourself a pretty tasty meal . GBK have such a wide choice I don't think you can go wrong (fish, beef, chicken, vegetarian burgers, and great sides). Oh they also have complimentary monkey nuts (if you like them) so you can nibble on those till the food arrives. I recommend getting the app too as you can earn some pretty awesome treats. In fact a free burger awaits my next visit - hmm but what to choose...

Cheese burger delivered!

We just had for the first time delivery from GKB. The burgers arrived as if they just had been gotten out of the kitchen. And they were absolutely delicious! The baconnaise sauce is also very recommendable. Overall, perfect delivery service, same as having it at the restaurant.

Not a bad GBK but have been to better. However I loved the many booths down the side of the restaurant. Food took over 20 minutes to come and we dined on a Wednesday so don't know why took so long. But if I was in the area I would go back just because I love GBK burgers and their skinny fries yum.

Good food. Veggie burger was lovely. My friend liked the cheese burger. The sweet potato fries where not the best a bit soggy.

I love Pret! Their food quality, options, service, marketing and prices are fantastic. I have never…read morebeen disappointed by their on the go snacks and meals! This location was crowded. It was difficult to find seating and the table was dirty. I wish we had Pret in my hometown in the states. I could eat their smoked salmon snacks/meals and dried mango everyday!

The first time I encountered Pret a Manger was the first time I went to London - I mean, how can…read moreyou miss it? There is literally one at every street corner. At the time, I was quite unimpressed. COLD SANDWICHES FOR LUNCH? *Yawn* But then after going there a few times, I have realized that they have hot foods too - like toasties, hot wraps, and most importantly SOUP! Not to mention sushi, salad, desserts, hot drinks, etc. What's kinda cool is that all the Prets serve the exact same fresh food everyday. You're not going to get different things from different Prets. If one location is serving cream of mushroom, potatoes and leek, and tomato basil soup, you can bet all of them will have the exact same thing. Every day the soup menu changes and all the sandwiches are made fresh daily. They also try new sandwiches too - the latest and the most awesome discovery is their Thai Prawn Baguette that tastes like a good thai green curry in a bun. So. Delicious. Their miso soup is good and cheap too. Walk out of the place for 6 pounds and you'd be more than full. The other day, I mentioned to my bf "You know what, Pret is growing on me" and he replied, "you know what, i feel the same way too!" Solid :)

Pret is a ready to eat organic natural food. All sandwiches and soups are made fresh each day…read more Sandwiches are packaged in paperboard. Pret's customers are health conscious. There are a lot of vegetarian options. They have a seasonal menu and a larger hot and cold items along with a variety of salads, drinks and coffee's. Items found on the menu Pret pots, soups, Pret hot, sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, treats and snacks, bakery, breakfast, coffee, hot and cold drinks. Pret has take away (take out)!! The best thing when you have a cold. What do you get when your not feeling well? What about tomato soup? Yes, tomato soup and a classic cheddar and tomato. My daughter and I both got tomato soup and cheese sandwiches. The soup just so delectably yummy with caramelized onions. The sandwich was so tasty. How do you eat your sandwich? I dip my sandwich in my soup. Oh so tasty and flavorful. There is something about Tomato soup and cheese sandwich that brings me back to my childhood, as it conjures up the memories of comfort and warmth. Not only did this meal fill me up but also made me feel better. It made being sick in London a lot better. Thanks Pret for making my daughter and I feel better.

What can I say, Pret is never wrong when you don't have time to stop for too long. This one is my…read morefavourite and where I get my coffee most mornings on my way from the gym to work (its just in-between so very convenient). I love the staff as they are all friendly and smiley, most of them have been there the last year or more so I suspect that its a good place to work and the chemistry between them is really good. I love their porridge as well, though I suspect they use full fat milk to make it so nice ;)
