Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Gbk

First restaurant meal since the relaxation of Covid restrictions. The restaurant was well set up for social distancing and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty. My young son was very happy with his chicken and chips and my baby daughter really enjoyed the burger bun she was kindly given. Really enjoyed our meal and will certainly return.

We got a table quick enough but when trying to order my husband stood and waited for ages at the counter with no acknowledgement until he asked someone who told him the manager was on the phone and no one else was available to take his order. He did eventually order after another wait. The food came quickly and was tasty. The falafel bites were nice but a bit oily. Overall a bumpy start but enjoyable in the end.

We visited the GBK for a light lunch. Today was very busy for many restaurants in Basingstoke with waiting times around 20 min. Our waiting time was 3 min. While the restaurant was packed the service was very quick and efficient. Our food order & drinks took less than 10 min. The food was excellent and staff were polite and friendly. The restaurant offers both full size meals and a lighter option. Beef, chicken and pasta options.

Excellent range of both healthy and full fat burgers, which is refreshing. You can go traditional with beef (cooked to preference) and chicken (chargrilled or fried) burgers or try the vegetarian and vegan options, which are full of flavour and choice, and delicious. The pulled jack fruit and bean burger with beetroot relish was particularly good. They have a children's menu and are accommodating with menu change requests (different sauces with a side, milk instead of milkshake). Friendly staff, quick service and not vastly more expensive than fast food restaurants, but with much better food! (It cost £30 for two adult meals, with sides and drinks and one child's meal, with side and drink.) You can also get a number of soft drinks (elderflower fizzy is shown here) with refills.

Fantastic dining experience. Despite it being lunch time on a Saturday and as such being nearly full, the food was delivered about 10 minutes after ordering and tasted absolutely delicious. I had the classic cheese with american cheese and it was quite honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. Only nitpicks would be that the menu is a little limited outside the mains - starters and desserts had maybe four options each - and that the burgers don't automatically come with anything, so if you want fries you have to order it as a side. However we did order them as sides and they also tasted great, and were very hot. Overall great lunch provided - we will definitely be going again!
