The Original Gourmet Burger Co.

Cajun Chicken was more like boiled chicken burger with no taste to it, same goes for Orignal Gourmet burger, beef has no taste to it, the only thing i could taste was jalapenos. Fries were okay.

This guys are the best. Their meal tastes so good. I don’t miss this every time I come to Reading. Their burger is the best I’ve had. I ordered the Peri peri wings today and it was soo good I had to call them up and thank them for it.

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.

If you are looking for a quality burger in a reading and not your average chicken shop burger this is THE place for burgers. I personally prefer the beef burgers but the chicken is great too the prices are great for the quality of the food and the portions don’t disappoint the shop and staff and are extremely clean and the shops interior itself is great trust me when I say this the the place for burgers chips wings eat

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!
