Really enjoyed the food, the milkshake especially was a treat. The chicken burger was delicious but could maybe have had a bit more salad etc to make it feel more substantial - the beef burger was fine on this score. Some slight constructive criticism is that most 'premium' burger restaurants tend to have great presentation of the food as well, whereas here felt like fairly standard pub-type plating up. Didn't affect our enjoyment of the food though!
Some of the best burgers we've had. Would highly recommend the Dirty Moo burger, especially if you like pulled pork. My only critique/recommendation would be to have a more descriptive menu, as some of us were confused whether the burgers have a beef patty in them or not, as it was not explicitly mentioned for some of them.
A good burger joint, The menu is great woth plenty of choice for meat eaters and non meat eaters too. Beer prices are in my opinion over the top for the beers on offer, off shore is £6.70 a pint as are others I'd except something a little more intresting at that price. Staff work incredibly hard and efficiently massive respect to them. It's a large venue and the noise is painful along with dim lighting I don't think I could return and mange the headache it gave me. Food was good and tasty and came out in good time and hot. Burger buns very soft. Cocktail choice is slim. Toilets very good and clean. Wouldn't return but absolutely recommend giving it a visit.
The best burger I’ve ever had. If you’re a burger fan then this place is a must! The burger was to die for I had the “dirty moo” the meat was seasoned perfectly and the bun was the perfect amount of bread to the burger. All five of us were super impressed. A good range of bitters for my husband so he was happy. It wasn’t overly expensive, but for the quality I expected it to be more expensive than it was.
The Dorset Burger Company specialise in one thing, as you’d expect, and full respect to them for doing that. For food and atmosphere chances are you’ll come away feeling well fed and content, with a few reservations. The burgers are cooked very well. I just feel there is some room for improvement to elevate the other elements in line with the quality of the meat. Firstly, I think there’s a little too much salt used. Secondly, the sauces that come with the burger are fine, but with my burger didn’t really cut through. I feel my burger lacked cheese, which would have helped the whole taste experience. Thirdly the buns seemed to lack substance and go a little soggy where they touched the burger toppings. Maybe a layer of cheese or better quality buns would help with this. The coleslaw is distinctly average. The service is generally fine from clearly hard working staff coping with a large venue. There was a little hiccup when they bought the wrong bill to our table. In summary, if you like burgers, go online and check out the menu.
