I was in the mood for a burger that was not the typical fast-food fare, so I decided to give Byron…read morea try. I don't typically like chain restaurants, but at least this is not a huge international chain. I ordered the double bacon, medium, with fries. I was thrilled when the fries arrived: I didn't realize they were the shoestring type, which are my favorite. And they were nicely cooked; crispy on the outside, but still fleshy on the inside. Many placed overcook this type of french fry and you end up with just a crisp instead of a chip. The burger was good. After picking it up, I realized I could never bite it without making a huge mess, so I took one of the patties off to eat last. The burger had good flavor, but the patties were more medium well instead of medium: they advertise that medium will have a little pink, but mine had no pink at all. I was very glad I didn't order the medium well, or it may have been overdone. The bacon was nice and crispy, but still tender: I didn't have to worry about taking a bite and pulling the entire piece of bacon out of the sandwich because you can't bite through it. The cheddar cheese was an unexpectedly nice touch. Back in the US, our standard cheese for burgers is American...mostly because it melts so well. But American cheese doesn't have much flavor on its own. This cheddar looked more like a cheese sauce because it melted completely, but the sharp, dry taste of the cheese contrasted nicely to the sweetness of the bacon. The pickles were not quite dill but also not quite sweet pickles: they were somewhere in between. I almost asked for more just to give them a taste on their own because I enjoyed them so much. The staff were wonderful; both of the servers I interacted with were fun, informative, and very helpful. As a tip to those who travel around the UK: I noticed there were cards on every table with the Jack of Diamonds. When I asked why, the staff told me that each location has a different playing card. If you visit all the locations and collect a full deck, then you get treats from Byron. Apparently there have only been a couple of people to successfully complete the deck, but it would be an interesting challenge!

Or loathe it, I could have saved myself a few bucks. Well this time my intoxication levels were below zero, and we pipped for the olives and ciabatta, with olive oil and balsamic to set the mood, to start. When it came. The wait was respectable , and the food slid in front of us, with good and friendly service. Though I must interject at this point to mention that I am glad I am not epileptic.The lights whilst waiting were strobe like, as several kids parties called for some one out back to flip the restaurant light switches on and off at fiendishly rhythmic intervals. To add to this I may be in need of a hearing aid, as someone surely six miles away was in control of the volume dial to happy birthday. Back to the food, good atmosphere, if you don't mind a lot of children banter. Four olives, and mushroom stalks in olive oil, poor, cant say much more than that to be honest. Sad face apparent. Beer arrives, attentive staff, happy face again. Order mains. i opted for a steak sandwich, which on the whole was a bit gristle ridden, and was more on the medium side than the well done, but c'est la vie. To be honest for over ten pounds, I was saddened, especially as the fries although crispy, really lacked any flavor. Not understanding this, really for a chain that charges a decent amount for food that could be bettered by MacDonald at a fraction of the cost. Bathrooms were clean, could do with updating. Never again!!

It is ideally located for this purpose as it's 5 minutes walk to the theatre. It was the first time I had ever been there and I have to say I was a little disappointed - not by the place itself, but more with the chain. I felt like the food choices were very limited, although it wasn't expensive I felt like it could have done with a little more variety. The restaurant itself was pleasant and the waiter was very friendly. I shan't be visiting this chain again though. Tip - you can use clubcard deal vouchers here.

When I tip I prefer to decide how much, not have it dictated to me.

Never in my life did I think I would be giving a UK restaurant a five star review. Normally when I…read moretravel I am desperate to try new places and never visit the same restaurant twice. Perhaps its because the alternatives are drearily subpar or the fact that you can't ask for more than a good burger but I've now been to GBK twice in two days and am considering completing the hat trick tomorrow. The burger quality is very good and despite the burger not being large (by American standards) it comes on a nicely toasted bun with a load of toppings. The burger cannot be picked up and eaten without being cut. Now, a good burger alone would be tempting but the options are various and delicious. I had a Habanero burger on my first visit and the sauce had a very nice kick to it, unlike other places that weaken the burn this was full of it. My second visit saw the consumption of a Blue Cheese burger and while my aorta said no-no-no my stomach said yes-yes-yes. Highly recommend.

What I particularly enjoy about GBK is that they are happy to turn any burger vegetarian, meaning…read morethese guys have by far the biggest range for people like my partner and me. Furthermore, all their meat is ethically sourced (red tractor rather than soil association though), which means a vegetarian out of humane reasons can sink their teeth into a chicken burger here with minimal qualms. Their smoked chilli Mayo, green goddess sauce, bottomless ginger and lemongrass fizz and skinny friend add the delicious details to an already tasty meal. The restaurant itself is nice and clean with an intentional diner atmosphere. The service has always been excellent. Seating outside is pleasant and not too noisy with a lovely view of a water fountain. However usually that isn't quite enough to get five stars from me. Generally we'd be looking at enthusiastic four stars. But our last visit really added that final star of excellence in my mind: You see, I am currently training a service dog and part of what makes that particularly hard, is that it is almost impossible to find places that allow you to practice. The special scents and excitement of a burger place are hard to recreate at home. Restaurants will often allow you to sit outside, but if you are not rearing a winter hardy breed, that is unhelpful in winter. Thus, imagine my surprise and delight when I called ahead to Milton Keynes GBK and was informed that they kept a special table specifically for service dogs in training. It turned out to be right next to the door, making emergency dashes easier and keeping us out of the way of other patrons. The staff was exemplary and ever so kind. The cooks cooed, but refused to touch him as otherwise they would have to disinfect both themselves and the kitchen, which made me feel rather pleased about the strictness of their hygiene rules. All in all it was an amazing experience and we will definitely be back for some more practice (and delicious burgers). In my mind going that extra mile for their local disabled community most certainly makes them deserving of that fifth star!

Yes, but......(American in England)…read more Food yes. Decent quality. Service. Absolutely. Manager talked with us a bit and the rest of the wait staff was efficient and friendly. Here is the loss of quality. The venue. It looks like a stage setting that was left a bit undone and no one was coming back to finish it. Exposed ceiling with cobwebs. Using the entrance as a chair storage area. We turned around when coming in, thinking we had found an emergency exit. Plexi glass that was most likely put up during Covid, super glues and cracked in places. Sticky old menus. Little things that took you out of the moment. Good. Ribs are amazing. Had a tasting plate. Chicken was a bit dry. Steak had no seasoning. Onion rings most likely from a freezer bag. Husband had a fillet. Said it was cut strangely and ended up with a mouth full of fat at one point. The vegetable highlight was the snap peas and broccoli. Drinks, draft cider, glass of red wine and had the manager surprise me with a cocktail. Watermelon tropical punch. Refreshing. Decent, slightly expensive. Conclusion - wouldn't go back to this location, but would try the chain again. (American in England)

Having never eaten at a TGI Friday's, thought it the best out of a uninspiring choice. Went for a set meal for weekdays at £14.99. Fiona with prawn starter and chicken main with sweet potato fries. I went for chicken strips and sirloin steak. Service was a little off. Asked for our drink order whilst literally being sat down. Asked for a minute that became nearly ten minutes before server returned. Friendly enough chap, but it really felt chain like. Could barely talk to each over the volume of music. It really became annoying very quickly. Around 15 minutes later starters came out and they were actually pretty tasty. Not amazing but better than expected. Sadly, the main course left a lot more to be desired. Fionas grilled Jack Daniel chicken and sweet potato fries were pretty decent. Sadly, the sirloin steak was so tough, you couldnt cut in and the salt.. omg.. it tasted like a pot of it was tipped onto it. The sides of vegetables were boiled to death and disgusting. A waste of good veg. Server got manager over and he was kind enough to insist I didn't leave without being fed. I just asked for same dish as Fiona to keep it simple. Not really fast tracked as it was nearly 20 minutes before it arrived. To add salt (no pun!) to the wound, the chicken had no seasoning and was a far cry from what our Fiona got. At this point, I couldn't be bothered and we were going to miss the movie. Took 5 minutes to simple flag a staff member for the bill. Took my meal off, but that was a waste of £25 for one person eating. Rating reflects the average service, poor food and a really horrible environment. Safe to say I'm not eating in any tgi again!

My first proper visit to TGI's last Sunday. I'm not a fan…read moreof chain restaurants so I've never seen the big appeal for TGI's. We were a table of 8, so there was a very long wait for our starters and an even longer wait for our mains. The starter was not what I expected. I ordered nachos to share that was ment to have fajita chicken on top. Instead it was presented as individual nachos that was clearly premade cheese on top and your mass produced chicken cubes! Nothing is more unappealing that cubed chicken. It tasted okay, nothing fajita like about it tho and not worth nearly £10. This is where my disappointment ends. I then got my 15oz rib eye steak, medium rare. Cooked exactly as I ordered it and chargrilled. Honestly it was fantastic, best steak in a very long time. I then had the Rocky road ice cream which was just amazing. Cocktails are always fun too. I don't know if I'm giving a better review for this chain restaurant purely because I had great company there that night, but regardless I enjoyed myself and the latter part of my food. At that point it tasted less premade/flash frozen. In all honesty though, I wouldn't say I would be rushing back anytime soon but it was nice while there.
