Burgers so dry they are barely edible. On the plus side, the fries were really good. Unfortunately we each only tasted a fry or two because we had to sacrifice the ketchup for our burgers. The burgers were so excruciatingly dry that an entire packet of ketchup and Mayo disappeared completely and the burger still remained extremely dry. This level of dessiccation is even more remarkable when you consider the fact that the burgers were completely raw in the centers!!! I would have thought that this country would have learned its lesion after Mad Cow disease. I'm not ever allowed to donate blood in the states because I lived here 30 years ago, and yet this place is serving up raw ground beef like nothing ever happened. Amazing. I would have thought that the undercooking would at least have preserved the juiciness of the burger, but not even that. Again it was dry dry dry. I could have eaten the burger in white gloves without getting a spot. Also we had to wait 30 minutes for our takeout. I'm not sure what they were doing for 30 minutes. Obviously they were not cooking for much of that time. The fries--although delicious--were completely cold by the time we got them, so they had clearly been cooked right at the beginning of the wait. They did not seem particularly busy. Apparently 30 minutes is just how long they think is normal to provide bad burgers. The insult to injury was the two packets of ketchup. The portions of fries are quite generous. The burgers are quite large. The idea that someone looked at two burgers and two fries and decided that two tiny packets of ketchup should be sufficient for the whole lot is insane. I understand that there are some French fry purists in the world who eat them without ketchup, but in my experience at least 95% of people want to dip their fries and even if we didn't have to poach the ketchup to rescue the failed burgers, there would not have been anywhere close to enough. For £36 you'd think they could have spared a few extra packets of ketchup. All told it was a negative experience. Dry, cold, and super slow. I would not recommend.

After a ludicrous experience at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse nearby, I decided to call at Gourmet Burger Kitchen with it being just a short walk away from my hotel: having been impressed with numerous branches of the chain in the past I had good expectations I would be able to get a safe, good and tasty gluten-free meal however I was sadly wrong to have such expectations from GBK at the Angel Centre in the London borough of Islington. Firstly the prices are still really high - no wonder lots of branches are shutting down and GBK is struggling and rolling back promotions on their app, even with 25% off through NUS it still remained rather above average. I mean come on paying close to £10 for a burger and having to spend another £3 or so on fries and £4.90 for a milkshake (similar price for alcohol) just isn't right. I mean I get it's London, but these prices are nationwide and they're even high for London. The store actually had a rather nice and modern feel to it, it felt like it had been refurbished recently which gave me, even more, hope about this place which sadly crashed with my burger. I ordered a Small Gluten Free Classic Cheese with American Cheese and I was rather disappointed as the burger was firstly messy, the sauce had been blobbed on one side and was dripping off alongside only partially melted cheese and mediocre meat. The fries weren't much better which tasted a little soggy and bland, to the point even their spicy ho ho salt (normally known as hei hei but it's Christmas) and pepper couldn't fix it. It was obviously just a bad cut of potato. The bun was probably the worst part of my dish, it was flaky and doughy and it tasted as it had just been defrosted, it wasn't even heated! My milkshake was probably the only decent thing about the menu, but again it was hard to drink with the paper straw which seemed to sog almost straight away. The Truffle Infused Mayo was really sickly, and I normally like a truffle. Considering it was £1,25 it was overpriced for a sauce, especially a bad one. GBK really has gone down-hill, it seems they're raising prices in-store with service and food quality going down - this is a dangerous spiral which if it carries on like the branch here in Islington, the whole company will be closed within months. 1*

This restaurant is always my go to because I know I’ll never be disappointed. I get the same order everytime I go. I get the classic chicken burger in panko crumb and fried, with chunky skin on fries and a strawberry & elderflower drink ???? You can never go wrong!
