We turned up at Gourmet Burger Kitchen at 8pm on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately. The inside is fairly plainly decorated with plenty of wooden tables and chairs.A waiter brought over menus and took our order of a bottle of house white, telling us we need to order food at the counter. I am still surprised by the fact that GBK does not offer table service and in fact it caused a bit of confusion because we wanted to pay separately, not all of us having cash, and when my friend placed her order they asked her to pay for our wine. A system that needs tweaking I think.
However, we ordered a variety of mains: a beef burger with cheese and bacon for me, a chicken burger, small 'children's' burger with salad and vegetable stack with melted cheese for the others. They arrived together and were absolutely delicious. I cannot fault their burgers, they are simply the best I have had. The patties are thick and juicy, buns and salad fresh and the chips (although charged separately) are not greasy and are very filling.
The atmosphere and fact that you must order at the counter doesn't encourage you to linger here, and with there often being a queue I can see why they encourage this vibe. We'll be back again though - the food was universally praised by our group.
