I've been a long time fan of Grill'd. I am obsessed with their Garden Goodness Veggie Burger. The veggie pattie is flavourful and filling. I love that it comes with cheese, avocado, and herbed mayo. It's a delicious well thought out burger. All of the ingredients are fresh and each burger is made to order. I can never resist ordering a side of Zucchini chips. These are crumbed, deep fried, herbed sticks of finger-licking goodness. I think I could easily eat my body weight in these tasty chips. Grill'd has a liquor license for those who want an ice cold hipster beer or cider to wash down their healthy burger. I'm thrilled that a burger bar has created a genuinely delicious veggie burger that rivals its meaty mates. The atmosphere of my local Grill'd is relaxed and casual with inside and alfresco dinning.

This is certainly not the place for a quick in-and-out-I've-got-10-mintues-for-lunch burger. Service is not the speediest, but to be expected when making dozens of made to order burgers. From ordering to eating it's about a 30 minute wait, so grab yourself a cool drink, some good company, and settle in. I have found the staff to be relatively friendly but it can be hit and miss. The restaurant seems to be predominantly run by younger people, which is great, I love to see young people rule the world!

As someone with a fairly significant onion allergy I do have to be weary when eating at Grill'd. An allergy to raw onion is not that common and despite that fact I say please no onion every time I order 9 times out of 10 my burger arrives with onion. They usually happily replace my burger and bring me a fresh one but I have had some staff roll their eyes and pick off the onion and bring it back. People with allergies be ware!

The complication of allergies aside, Grill'd is a great mid price range burger bar. As the name suggests they have a healthy range of burgers and cater to most eaters, carnivores, vegos, gluten free, low carb. The service is hit and miss but I personally feel that is to be expected when it is operated by younger people. The option to wash down a juice burger with a cold beer is great and I love the alfresco dinning. If you go to Grill'd do yourself a favour and order some zucchini chips with a side of herb mayo, you will not be sorry!
