Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Dulwich, London

As a chain its pretty much the same as any GBK. I have eaten her a few times and service is always terrible.
Even when picking up a pre-ordered meal they got it wrong.
It’s a real shame as the food is good. The staff just need organising and managed better.

When I first heard about Gourmet Burger Kitchen I scoffed at the idea of a place devoted to so-called gourmet versions of what’s usually a horrific sort of food to begin with. But then a friend dragged me along for stomach lining purposes before my birthday drinks this summer, I demolished the Veggie & Camembert burger (remove the camembert and it’s vegan, yay!) and adjusted my mindset…slightly. I’m still not big on the idea of being able to eat an identical burger in various locations across the country, but if I squeeze my eyes shut tightly enough I can pretend the East Dulwich branch is the only one…might get some funny looks from the waiting staff though.

Oh, and if you’re dithering, always choose the fat chips not the skinny ones. They’re so much better!

Veggie options - plenty listed
Vegan options - Veggie & Camembert - ask for no camembert and explain no dairy at all / Portobella - ask for no mayonnaise or pesto / Falafel / Puy Lentil - ask the waiting staff, not sure about this one…

Decent place to have a burger especially when they had the buy one get one free promotion on. There are lots of burgers to choose from and they are BIG!

I ordered the Jamaican burger with mango and ginger sauce, salad, mayo and relish recently. Nice enough but they can be pretty messy to eat (even when you cut the burger in half and pick it up). The wild boar burger was more expensive and nothing special.

The milkshakes are huge - certainly big enough for two people! Strawberry was nice - they even had Oreo flavour on the menu.

Good for an informal and casual dining experience.
Lovely and friendly staff at this branch too.

If you like burgers, you cant go wrong with this place. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you need to order sides to fill you up - you wont need them! Truly a feat of engineering, these burgers are certainly gourmet. My personal fave is the chicken with brie and cranberry sauce burger - yum! It is pretty difficult making a choice from their foot-long menu of burger options. Great for a novelty meal out with friends, and they do take-away too.
