The Original Gourmet Burger Co. - (Near Berkshire, South East)

2 /5 Grainne Hefferon: I am so upset I have been coming here since it opened and come here very often. Today I tried to place an order and he hung up, so I called them back and asked to finish my order as I had another meal to order. He then told me I was only allowed to order one meal and I was confused as this has never been the case. He then proceeded to start talking at me saying 1 hour, eat in or takeaway so then I said takeaway please and he said no only eat in and I asked him why can’t I take away as I always order for takeaway. And then he shouted no eat in only so he said he was cancelling my order. I did not argue with him or raise my voice at all so I don’t understand why he treated me this way. I won’t be coming back here for a long time which is such a shame as the food is so lovely. Hopefully they get some kinder staff.

1 /5 Nomusa Pif: Last night 9/11/2025 my friend and I went in to order some meals. My friend asked for an Oreo milkshake. The server said there was no more ice-cream to make milkshakes. So we ended up getting canned drinks for our meal. Waited 10ish minutes before our food was ready then we proceeded to leave. As we were walking out another customer walked right in and asked for a milkshake. The same server who served us asked him “how many do you want brother?” the customer asked for 3 milkshakes! Strange that he had the cheek to give someone else milkshakes that were out is stock for us 10 minutes earlier. Did he want us to hear this exchange? I guess we’ll never know… That was my experience last night.

4 /5 Jake Platinum: I’ll start by saying if I could give this a 3.5 stars I would, but I can’t and it’s not a 3 star so 4 it is! It’s a nice little burger spot with some seating inside nice decor and vibe, the menu is expansive to say the least pretty much Something for anyone here. I ordered a a cheese stack burger as a meal. Let’s talk about it, 6oz burger patty loaded with halloumi, mozzarella sticks and more cheese. I was expecting some serious cheese pull with cheese dripping everywhere, but there was none of that but that’s ok. The patty itself could have been frozen bought? Certainly not freshly made in house which a lot of burger spots do these days, it lacked any juiciness was a pretty dry patty tbf, there was some seasoning too it and it had that flame grilled taste. Halloumi was cooked nicely, and mozzarella sticks don’t really do much tbh. The bun certainly held it all together but it was pretty chewy and soft again could have been frozen?. The fries were very basic, some crispy some maybe undercooked, certainly no seasoning on them, came with 2 sauces a mint chillie and garlic mayo both were pretty decent as far as dips go. Overall I wouldn’t say this place is bad, it’s cheap it hits the spot but wouldn’t say it’s gourmet! But for cheap quick decent burger it will hit the spot! Under £10 for burger chips and drink is pretty good In my book! Today’s rating overall is 6.5/10 - needs more finesse and upping the patty game to call this gourmet! But let’s be honest I’d happily go back!

3 /5 Gary Wise: Oh dear. Not what the name implies at all. My Original Meal Deal with pre-formed, warmed-over cheap beef patty, sickly sweet onion sauce & pickled jalapeños was only just edible, but I was hungry. No passion in this food. No toilet in this worn-out tired-looking place either. It’s cheap, but I’d avoid if you’re looking for a serious burger. This whole meal was only £8.69 and the shoestring fries were OK so there’s that.

4 /5 Ab Ab: Good food good size portion. However I wouldn’t say ‘gourmet’. If you’re looking for reasonable burger place to fill a hole and doesn’t break the bank then defo this is the place. Ordered the tikka combo, hot dog jalapeño , grilled Chinese wings and tikka bowl. £20 for all. Tikka combo was the best part. Too much cheese sauce on the tikka bowl for my liking. Hot dog wasn’t anything special unfortunately. And the wings for me were a let down, saw them cooking it - it was grilled wings then chucked into a bag with sauce added and mixed. They could’ve put the sauce on the grill with sesame seeds to give it that authentic taste. Overall first time wasn’t bad, will try again and see how it is again. Service 3/5 due to they forgot my wings and had to wait another 15mins.
