Burger Urge

The Marrakech veggie-​burger was very good, and the fries just right. Lovely area within the botanical gardens and polite servers. I would go here again without hesitation.

There’s not a huge choice of food on campus. Tacos, kebabs, asian food, or Burger Urge.
I still prefer the local takeaway burger with the lot, but Burger Urge is okay. You get a choice of wholemeal or white buns, and then there’s a range of beef, lamb and chicken burger options. They also sell beers.
This place is often open when nowhere else on campus is, so that’s a bonus, and the staff are pretty friendly. If they get an unexpected rush during a quiet period they can be underprepared and understaffed leading to some long waits, but really, I suspect this doesn’t happen too often.
There’s often vouchers around the place for some deals too, so keep an eye out.

In a new flashy building, Burger Urge feels a bit out of place. I sat down in the 50’s styled booths, with a group of friends after a fairly hectic week, and looked forward to having something off the rack so to speak, which is the Burger urge experience.
I’ve been here twice now, and to be honest it’s alright, but. unfortunately there is a but hey. I went for the quirky named Hawaii Six Ohh, which has a zesty wasabi lime mayo, and a predictable Hawaiian reference of overly sweet sliced pineapple (what happened to the humble pineapple?), a solid chilli sauce, squished together with lettuce, tomato & a somewhat pale whole egg mayo; the mayo was a bit lacking. I had a becks to wash it down, nice to see that they had a license.
But, yes, here it is again, the service was slack (2pm service), they forgot to give me sauce for my potato chippies, and I wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness of the kitchen (I had to say it, maybe it IS a 2pm thing).
I have to forgive that the building is still under construction as well, but hey, if your wondering the old botanic gardens and really want to splash out on a fancy burger, go here, or keep walking, there’s always an option.
If you like your plastic grass attached to the lighting, fake windows attached to the wall featuring a New York street scene, it might be your place. But with a group of friends, the looks don’t matter as much.
