€20 for a starter, main course, glass of wine. Excellent value, really tasty, great service. The American burger is unreal and is served with side of fries. Really tasty and great great value for what you get. Perfect spot to pop in for quick bite whilst in town or for a chat with friends over dinner. Will go again.

Possibly the best burger I've ever tasted, juicy and full of flavour, and the toppings, bun and salad complimented each other perfectly. Great service and surroundings!!! Highly reccomended.

This place was a nice encounter in Cork. Friendly staff and the food quality clearly is there. I also tried the delivery service they have with justeat.ie and even though the waiting time is high (40min as announced) we weren't disappointed on the food. Still hot and very tasty. I recommend the Alumni Cheese Burger.

Saturday evening burger it it didn't overwhelm but what they do right they do really well. The service was prompt and upbeat. Starter of portobello mushrooms, tasty and crunchy! Burgers are very good but sides could be improved. Potato chips with skins on were very soggy and "wet" and a bit skinny. Onion rings are huge and good. Will try... More

I went to several restaurants during my month-long stay in Cork. I stopped in at the gourmet burger bistro twice when I wanted a real burger. I had the chili burger and the French connection burger (w/brie). Both were excellent. They had a great flavor and cooked as I liked them. They do substitutes for the bun so I got... More

I ordered a home delivery from this restaurant. The order was late arriving however after paying 40euros for 3 takeaways we did not expect to have a cold meal. The fish had been put on top of the chips making them soggy and inedible and the rest of the order was cold. Will not be ordering from the Gourmet Burger... More

I had lunch here on my lunchbreak from work. They were very busy and the food when we eventually got it was delicious. however the service was very slow and the restaurant is very noisy therefore I didn't really like the athmosphere. The staff were ok but not over-friendly.

Burger tasted awful the bun was cold and hard and there was very little sauce on it which made it very dry.
