Free Burgers this Wednesday!

I walked out there after midday and the line was already out the doors and around the corner of the building.

I admire the sneaky way they chose to minimise their losses from the free food, limiting it to sit down only automatically limits the free burgers to the number of people that can sit at the tables during the time limit. And people being what they are, although they were waiting anxiously in the line they’ll be happy to take their time once they’ve got their freebie instead of eating it fast and leaving, they may even order extra stuff to eat or drink and take their sweet time and bugger the rest.

So the business gets the publicity at a minimal cost.

It doesn’t hurt that at Grill’d you can buy yourself a pint sized bottle of Little Creatures to go with your burger either.

Still tempted to come into town, go to Guzman y Gomez, buy a burrito and come to the Canberra Center to watch the agitation levels slowly grow with the lines…

From what I have been told (not actually been out there and looked for myself) you could sit IN Guzman & Gomez & see the agitation the line is that long.

Grill’d burgers are the best burgers I have tasted in Canberra. (except for my mate Tommy’s burgers… Oh nom nom nom).

London Burgers – woeful, over priced. Bleh !
Brodburger – not worth the wait.
Local takeaways – too greasy.
Burger Edge – yet to try them.

I’m glad none of you like their burgers.. means the line tomorrow will be shorter. 🙂

that’s pretty accurate actually. london burgers (which i have eaten twice) are terrible – each time undercooked (while still being dry – how do they manage that?) and taste cheap

I can recall eating at London Burgers twice since the City store opened.. I haven’t tried Belconnen.

The first time – it was ok. We only ate there coz it was a few days after new years and it was about the only place open in the City, excluding the food courts. I’d already eaten at Grill’d a few times in Sydney – But there was no Grill’d in Canberra yet.

The second time was only a week or 2 ago. The patty was way too thick and undercooked. Quite tasteless too !

The free burgers are for eat in only, so I’m guessing there will quite a wait unless you start lining up at 9am. They do a pretty good burger though, I’ve been to the one in Woden a few times now.

Can’t really comment about the whole Brodburger v every other Canberra Burger joint, as I’ve only had Brodburger once and the most memorable part of that experience was the hour and a half wait.

Yeah i can’t see why brodburger was hyped sooo much. I guess they fill the void of the old school takeaway hamburger.
I’ve always been a bit more gourmet in my burgers. I do like London burgers and beer, but find the idea of reserving a seat or getting a seat sometimes annoying.

Grill’d have a good Satay chicken burger which I really quite like.

I tried Grilled when I lived in Belco. I was underwhelmed. The alarm bells started ringing when I noticed their blurb which said “we use healthy ingredients”.

If the ingredients were really healthy they’d run away before being made into a hamburger.
