Gourmet Burger Union
Gourmet Burger Union is a take on the Gourmet Burger Kitchen in the UK. Everything from logo to menu is suspect familiar to its UK counterpart. Their classic burger, a good size Aussie beef patty with chucky onion and crisp lettuce is the tried and true, but it was the sticky relish that stood out. $48
What out tasters said: “This place is known for their exotic burgers, but the plain beef burger is quite boring.. and dry. Unimpressive and instantly forgettable… better if you design your own and load them up with toppings… Patty too big for bun.
Overall: 3/10 $48 is too expensive for a burger that tastes of little. The cooks pressed the hell out of the patty during cooking, squeezing out all the juices that make the patty taste great.

No milkshakes, coffee or tea and when I asked about a milkshake, the waiter/cashier was incredibly snooty about it not being available. he music was on so loud that I missed hearing my order being called out. So the snooty waiter/cashier came over and yelled at me. Why he didn't just bring it over is beyond me. All of which could have been forgiven if the burger was good. It wasn't. It was dry with no sauce and the cheese tasted like string.
No open windows in this place...walked in wanting to eat a burger...left smelling like one. Good burger choices but good enough end product to take on the top dogs (cows) I think not. Next time you're there...try Cochrane's....thats a burger.
