KFC, Cribbs Causeway, Bristol

Friday night so what better than a visit to the faithful Colonel. A small queue of 2-3 people and just the one serving isn't a good start, nothing like a 10 minute wait to build up your appetite.

Went for my 'usual', 2 piece meal with Coke and gravy, chicken pieces weren't the biggest pieces but tasty as usual, hot portion of fries, gravy tasty as usual all washed down with a coke, a fiver well spent.

The Crown, All Saints Lane, Bristol.

The Crown's always been one of my favourite bars in Brizzle, you want Metal, you got it, but I've never eaten here so thought I'd give it a go one Bank Holiday Monday.

Good menu, lots of favourites, all at decent prices. I went for a good old Burger with Monterey Jack Cheese and bacon, also fries and a few onion rings came as standard. The Burger arrived...oh my Gawd, it's huge! Double Burger, thick nicely cooked pattys, lovely crispy fries and proper onion rings.

Quite delicious, and one of the best Burgers I've tasted, especially as it's not advertised as 'gourmet', and one I failed to finish so filling was it!!

Highly recommended.

Atomic Burger, Gloucester Road, Bristol

As many online reviews had pointed out, the décor is quirky, lots of movie and tv memorabilia adorn the walls and ceilings, though it doesn't look tacky.

Service was good, drinks served quickly (Thatchers Cider and Sam Adams Boston beer, yeah!) and food was in front of our noses less than 15 mins after ordering.

I had the 'Jake & Elwood' Burger, which was a beef patty with Bacon, Blue cheese and fried onions, came with a side of very tasty fries, I recommend the mayo they have with the condiments, went very nice with said fries.

My only complaint was there was very little blue cheese, the taste was quite subtle, I like in smothered, though that's just my own personal taste, other than that a very enjoyable lunch.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Park Street, Bristol

I last visited this GBK some time ago and was impressed then, so armed with a BOGOF voucher a visit on a nice Sunny Autumn day seemed a good idea.
I went for the Blue Cheese Burger, a medium cooked slice of Bovine with lettuce, relish and a Blue Cheese sauce plus some Rosemary Fries for a side. The Burger was a delight, incredibly tasty, nice crisp lettuce and a Blue Cheese sauce to die for. The Fries were tasty too, though at over £2 a portion a little over priced I thought.

Service was excellent from the staff, attentive without being over baring.

All in all pretty much faultless.

V-Shed, The Watershed, Bristol

Myself and my partner opted for the Beer & a Burger @£4:99 which sounded a bargain, well it is if you want your Burger pretty much cremated, a pity as even in its sorry state it still tasted not too bad with the nice relish and salad, plus the Chips are cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside.

Service was quick, come on guys, don't do a simple thing like nuking a Burger (my partners was the same!) when you are offering on the whole, great value for money.

The Burger Joint,Cotham Hill, Bristol

After reading the positive reviews myself and my partner decided to give this place a go one Sunday afternoon.

The interior of the restaurant is welcoming, light, uncluttered and clean. The Waitress who dealt with us was outstanding, friendly, helpful, quick but unhurried service.

I opted for a Beef Burger with, Blue Cheese, Bacon and Garlic mayo with French Fries- delicious, all served with a cold bottle of Corona and an ice cold GLASS-why do so many establishments fail with this simple idea!

My partner had the Chicken Burger with Cheddar, Bacon, Garlic Mayo and thick cut chips, again excellent.

Highly recommended, and they do takeaways too.
