Interesting, I wonder where.

Hopefully not where Jimmys world grill & Buffett is

Just booked our Christmas ****-up for Meat Market in a couple of weeks. They serve Monkey Fingers, which I think are one of my favourite things of all time - (tempura) battered mini chicken fillets in buffalo sauce with blue cheese sauce. Ahhh.

On the Broadway, virtually opposite the theatre. Lots of eateries along that stretch of road - sooo much decent choice.

I'm in meat liquor now. Just finished a meal of red chilli burger, green chilli burger, slaw and chips (between two of us). Atmosphere is awesome in this place. The fries and slaw are great. Very fresh oil used for the fries. The red chilli burger was the better of the two. The green chilli burger was too wet it soaked the lower half of the bun. The flavour was great for both, red again a bit better. The meat was definitely premium, great texture and flavour. Definitely a great burger place. Thanks for the recommendation.

Share the fries if you are going with a friend, it's huge!

Had a Mac D 'Winter Warmer with cheese and bacon' today.

Preferred it to the Five Guys three doors down.

Thanks for this startling revelation.

I had a bounty today.

Preferred it to the snickers that was next to it on the shelf.

Hopefully the price will put off the chavs that slowly seem to be seeping in more and more

Good, dont need scum like you taking up the seats for people with good taste buds

Got a Five Guys opening along the road this weekend. I presume with Five Guys it's best just getting the Bacon Cheeseburger and double up on everything on top?

Double up on all the toppings? Sounds like too much, I normally have a cheeseburger all the way, minus mayo and the mushrooms... and thats more than enough greenery.

eGu_Ryan · 8 Dec 2014 at 16:39

I just thought first time go mental haha. Really looking forward to giving it a try though!

No you need to double up, the burgers aren't very big, they bulk out your meal with too many chips.

You dont need to. You buy the chips.... its your choice of what and how much you buy.

Freefaller · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:07

Exactly, which is why you need to double up to have a decent meal. They're not very big burgers and overpriced, and not THAT good.
