Grill Street – S1W 4XE


Peri Chicken Burger 

Uptown Angus Beef Burger 
I visited Grill Street by chance last month after venturing down Farnham road in Slough – The curry mile or food street hub of Slough. The key was to find a quick and tasty burger that would fill me up.
The design of the restaurant was what struck me at first. The bold and bright sign of Grill Street outside. The yellow and black gave it a New York theme which also emulated the Taxi’s in New York as supported by the large spray-painted mural and a reference to New York with Jay-Z, ’I’ve got 99 problems but my burger ain’t 1’. All it needed was the cliché Hollywood flag of America and I would’ve been in the big apple. The lighting was bright, a small variety of lighting was used, it was simple and didn’t have much of a wow factor. The menu was laid out clearly and simply, it was effective and gave a variety of options to the customer and wasn’t confusing, it was easy to find the different variety of burgers offered. It was reasonably priced, 2 meals came to £15.00, The Peri burger meal was £6.50 and the Uptown Angus meal was £8.50, a £2.50 upgrade to make your burger a meal.
A gourmet beef and spicy Peri chicken burger was ordered, the buzzer system was used and personally – It took much longer than expected or maybe I’m just being dramatic because I was starving. When the food finally arrived, the burgers disappointed regarding size. Patty to bun ratio was annoying as I didn’t go to try the bread, however the taste was decent, the extras inside were tasty such as the jalapenos and melted cheese. The beef burger was dry, and a thin patty. The Peri burger felt dry and the marinade wasn’t spicy even though I asked for a hot flavouring. A key to a good burger is the sauce, therefore Grill Street didn’t deliver as only a basic mayonnaise was used in both burgers, mayo is important to me given I was born in Brussels, Belgium. The fries were okay; Medium cut, well cooked with good flavour and an option to put salt or not with disposable packets. However, an overall feeling of the experience was that the restaurant has invested more in the interior of the shop rather than the taste of the food and in my case, the burger.
My fellow diners had a similar feel to the experience at Grill Street, would I come back here again? Highly unlikely, I wouldn’t come out of my way to travel 1+ hours. I would rather try something different or stay safe with a tried and trusted burger e.g. McDonalds Fillet-O-Fish
