£7 service charge and £1 cover charge? That seems excessive. Those onion rings made me feel queasy just looking at them. I think for £25, fries should have been included in the price. You’re right, it was an absolute rip-off.
The service charge is a percentage of the total, so if the food price is high then unfortunately so is the service charge. I guess they will say not everyone orders fries, hence pricing them separately. But your point still stands!!
Well. considering the restaurant was full, it definitely implies there's a fool born everyday. I am not against gourmet food but this thing is outrageous.
He always banging on about seasoning missing on his various channels, so for his name attached to this ripoff is astounding. But great you called it out so lots of others don't get fleeced.😊
What you said, says a lot. I'm not wealthy. I'm an old bloke at 66. I totally agree with you. 1/4 of that price is too much. You could likely find a place that serves a tasty burger like Gordon's for half the cost or less. For me, I prefer what I make at home for far less cost. It's far more convenient and the taste makes me a happy cat.
I own a restaraunt in south korea called the bay located in Geoje Island. Ramsey opened a burger place in Busan in the next city. A burger set is less than half the price of a burger at ramseys at my place and customers told me my burgers are better. Gordon, I challenge you to a burger cook off.
I just checked out your restaurant it looks pretty good A lot of my friends got sent to South Korea in the Army but I never was stationed there. Do you ever get A lot of U.S military coming through for food?
Thats freaking nuts. I can literaly get a whole pizza for that price at my local pizza place.Should be a crime to charge so much money for some stupid potatoes.
Thanks for all your great videos! I live in Los Angeles, so I don't think I'll be dining at most of the establishments you've been to, however you did save me a 5-hour drive to Las Vegas to try a Gordon Ramsay burger.
Thanks for that, much appreciated! I know you won't be able to visit most of the places I showcase, but I remember eating at a Peruvian place in Orange County called Inca Mama, so maybe that's one for you 🙂
Please, next time you encounter something like the onion rings, ask for it to be taken off the bill. The only way those running the restaurant will change, is if it hurts their bottom line. If you show them the grease pool they shouldn’t challenge you.
I remember one of Gordon's episodes of kitchen nightmares, when he was served a towering burger such as shown at Harrods. At the time, the burger was too tall for Gordon to eat. I remember Gordon making a big deal of the burger being to tall to bite
Total rip off, typical London prices geared towards tourists. Gordon should feel ashamed of himself. When is a burger , fries, milkshake and Greasy onion rings worth £60 ???
Gordon is a multi multi multi millionaire. He don't give two fucks. Don't blame him! Blame the people with more money than sense who pay his exorbitant prices. Wouldn't you charge £60 for a burger if you knew punters were stupid enough to pay for it. It makes good business sense.
Gordon doesn’t care. I”ve seen his package frozen dinners at Walmart, that he would probably never eat, but anything for money, even if it means losing your reputation.
As expected from Harrods, the restaurant is clearly a rip off tourist trap. The fact that Gordon Ramsay is happy to put his name to it, just shows that he doesn't care about putting out good, quality fare for his customers. What an absolute scam. Utterly shameful. Thank you for the honest review. I've just subscribed.
Welcome to the channel ! I agree, Gordon Ramsay is the ultimate celebrity chef - and this restaurant is much more about the celebrity part than the chef part!
How is Harrods a tourist trap? It's a luxury department store for well over 150 years, everyone who travels to London will know what income level it appeals to.
It's the most famous department in London where you can spend £35,000 on bed sheets and just coffee and a piece of cake will set you back 10+ quid... Yeah it's no surprise lol. Not being top quality is no surprise either because Harrods is bottom line top dollar no matter the quality levels.
Well, I'm glad you paid it and not me. A £1 cover charge! This is Harrods not G Ramsey. The burger is tall to give the impression of big. It should be wide. As for seasoning, salt and pepper should be on the table. Well, a lesson learned, the name Gordon Ramsey does not indicate quality food. The high price is probably a Harrods rip off.
I always wonder why when people visit corporate restaurants that are licensed by a celebrity whether it be a movie star or chef are then surprised that it's just a big ripoff with mostly shiat food. 🤣🤣
because they have too much money and want to show off and may also have have mental or inbreeding issues and have absolutely no sense of taste. The best burgers & fries are usually found at little Mum & Dad restaurants where you can feed a family of 4 with burgers, fries and rings, drinks + deserts for this price, not fancy but just really good tasty food.
I saw another channel review a Ramsay restaurant in London airport and the review wasn’t great there either! Not sure I’ll visit Ramsay restaurant which is a shame as he’s one of my favourite chefs. But this is the problem with famous chefs, if there not there cooking it or managing the kitchen then the quality it’s potentially not gunna be the same. 😋
Just subscribed from my favourite G eats after your appearance there and well done for getting him to the edge of the Naga precipice and such a joy to see Gary hurle himself into the Heat Abyss.
£25 for that burger is daylight robbery. I can get a similar, if not better, burger in my local pub for about £10! The fries are NOT worth anywhere near £9.50! The onion rings looked grim, if I saw they were coming out like that I wouldn't have ordered those even for about £2 let alone a tenner. And £12 for a milkshake is just beyond a joke!
Spot on with your review, this is the same reason why his restaurant failed in glasgow, i remember he had a fight outside with a customer who said the meat wasnt cooked correctly , i believe he was quoted as saying the people in the area werent accustomed to fine dining, it closed down eventually 👍
I found your channel when you were on Gary's video the other day. I really like his videos, so when he recommended your channel I checked it out. I'm glad I did. 😃
Thanks for calling this out Greeno. Peoples hard earned money deserves to be spent on places who personally care about the quality of the food they serve to their customers.
It's strange - the restaurant itself looks really smart, and the serving staff very professional. And then they sell this rubbish at exorbitant prices. Surely the food should get the most focus... style over substance for sure
no disrespect at all..tbf ppl who have hard earned money aint gonna come here or similar places if they cant afford it tho? so many food reviewers/channels are starting to go to very similar places among themselves to the point of now some going to the same places, and they rarely differ in opinion. just my point of view tho.
@@steve-vx3lx You are right. Given the prices this dining experience is rarely accessible to most people on a regular basis and seen as a 'treat' and given the celebrity affiliation a sense of high value and expectation is created. When the quality of the food is as low as this it needs to be called out irrespective of how much you are able to afford it.
@@GreenoEats Thank you for the warm welcome. Glad to be here, i love food reviews. As for Malta, It is boiling indeed. Actually this year we hardly had any winterlike weather at all, its a long non stop humid summer 🥵 Keep up the great work, best wishes to you and loved ones 🤗
@@angellomaltezo8291 good to know, I was wondering where might be a good place for a bit of winter sun that isn't the Canaries or in a war zone, so Malta might be on the list 🙂
Don’t know if you tried it but if you buy a medium vanilla milkshake and a shot of espresso from McDonalds, pour the espresso into the milkshake, give it a stir and it’s amazing. The only thing I ever get at McDonalds now.
@@GreenoEats oooh fab! Enjoy! Let us know how it is. Get a medium though, I find with a large vanilla milkshake and 1 shot of espresso, the coffee kind of gets lost. Unless you really need a pick me up and get a large and 2 shots! Needs must and all that! 👍🏼
Enjoyed the video mate. I was speaking to Gary I went to one of ramsays restaurants called maize years ago cost about £87 and I came out starving and looking for a a burger bar. I have also been to harrods and had a meal. Won't be going to either again. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.
Thanks Tom - it does seem to me that Ramsay is simply monetising his name these days - for the price paid here the food was woefully short of what you might expect!
hi Greeno, i am heading to London for the day and really wanted to try this burger, where else would you recommend me going if this isn't a great burger please mate?
Gordon Ramsay is another chef that opens up a restaurant, gets into debt owing tons to small suppliers then shuts it down and opens another one somewhere else.
In 2004 he launched the award-winning British series Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, in which he endeavoured to turn failing restaurants into profitable enterprises, and Hell's Kitchen, in which he took on the challenge of turning aspiring restaurateurs into quality chefs; the former ended in 2014 and the latter in 2009 Now Gordon Ramsay himself has been added to this list
I see a lot of ppl criticize the price etc but as a treat for myself I don’t find the cost over excessive and you’re paying for the atmosphere as well as the food…location is excellent I’m sure the rent must be catastrophic so of course that has to be included in the cost as well.If I’m ever lucky enough to visit London again I’d be apt to try it😊
I get where you are coming from. However, my counterpoint to that would be there are a LOT of places you can eat in London much better and for half the price.
It rarely works out having a gourmet chef try and do non-gourmet foods. They just can't leave well enough alone and try to justify their prices with ingredients that don't belong. I went to Ramsay's restaurant in Los Angeles, 'The London', once and had the Chateaubriand. It was excellent! That's the kind of thing that Ramsay restaurants should stick to.
He has 110+ restaurants in 9 countries and 17 Michelin Stars. He doesn't need advice from a person that is so stupid that they make comments like, ''It rarely works out having a gourmet chef try and do non-gourmet foods.'' I cannot emphasize how stupid that comment actually is. Good luck.
🤗 Hi Greeno! First time here and happy to have found you. Love this review. Honest and straight to the point. £25 for a basic. Those onion glowed with radio active grease obvious from 50 paces. As for the 'funnel fries', very popular across the pond. (Canada) Looking foeward to more. Have a lovely day. 😊 🥰
Saw you having a hot curry on Gary Eats so had to see this. Harrods or not, it's crazy. 65 pounds for a burger, medium fries, large onion rings , and a small shake. Even if it was good that'd be a rip off.
Thanks for the informative review. Gordon has spread his brand so thin it's now become virtually worthless. Only a matter of time until another of his restaurants go bust! Thanks mate... Looking forward to your next one😊
That's why Raymond Blanc puts the rest of the chefs into the shade. He's not a celebrity all the rest think they're comedians, spend time appearing with celebrity guests pop stars never stop talking 😂😂. Raymond concentrates on the food!. He wouldn't send food out like that, as Gary said it's the chefs lol employed owner should have confidence in his staff to produce good plates of food he trained them
Mate... I'm a geezer over here in Australia, and those prices for that stuff is just insane. Insane. Total rip-off, and I would love to hear what Ramsay's response would be. Anyhow, subscriber, sir. Loved this review.
Oh my goodness!! That is $137 New Zealand dollars!! That’s my entire grocery bill per fortnight. Definitely not worth the money, simply because of his name. Thank you for the review though 👍👍👍
New subscriber here! I fancied a laugh this afternoon and I certainly got one watching this video! I love the Harrods food hall where they have all the lovely, handmade little bits and bobs and we always have a treat and buy something from there when we have a trip to London. But over £60 for a burger and the usual accompaniments is utterly ridiculous and totally unjustifiable. You'd not even get charged that in a top-notch place with 100% organic produce. Oh, and I could have done an omelette in the oil that had dripped off those onion rings! 🤢🤢
There was so much oil dripping from the onion rings that I half expected to find a distressed sea bird in it!! Glad you enjoyed the video. There are a couple of other places I want to try in the high end department stores in London, so look out for them in the coming weeks and months 🙂
Thanks for the honest review Greeno. I though Ramsay would be a rip off, they're all the same and Ramsay has the cheek to criticise other restaurants. About time he visited some of his overpriced crap food outlets and charged realistic prices.Hes a con man. Thanks Greeno , I won't be visiting any Ramsay establishments.
In Oz a service charge is only applied on Sundays and public holidays to cover extra pay for staff on those days. How can you go into a restaurant and pay a charge for what is necessary, i.e service.
That’s interesting! Here I think a lot of places do it for the simple reason that they can continue to pay low wages, as the service charges will top that up. And they rely on the British mentality of being too embarrassed to ask to have it removed from the bill.
Ramsay's Rip-Off to be sure. "Take five onion rings and give them a bollocking in grease. Then take your f - burger, it doesn't need any f- seasoning but if you f- must f- put it on the f- tomato..." Hope you got something better to masticate upon, Greeno. Bar steward Ramsay took you for a winker there...
Ha ha, great comment that! Tok some self control for me not to go all Ramsay about it, but RUclips would probably block the video for too much swearing!!
Wagyu burgers are INSULTING. Most of the time they’re not A5 wagyu just some knockoff “wagyu”, and wagyu isn’t a burger meat due to the high fat ratio, so it’s just a waste to use as a burger. Shame on Gordon for selling that 85 quid scam on his menu.
I do wonder how much Wagyu goes into that patty mix - and as you say, why would a chef want to waste that quality of meat by mincing it and putting in a burger!
Ummm hey smartass. Just an FYI, Einstein... Gordon's burgers are made with A5 from Iwate, Kagoshima, and Tajima. By law, when selling A5 grade Wagyu at a restaurant, you must retain the certification that is sent with the beef. The certification includes the date of slaughter, the prefecture, the distributor, the actual farm, and the actual ID# of the individual cow. Gordon uses an 85/15 ground beef that is made from the trimmings tallow, and unsold portions of A5 Wagyu at the end of the night service, which are collected from his restaurants in the area, and transported to his restaurants that serve Wagyu burgers. You wombats don't get how this works. What a shame.
Dear me, those prices made me wince all the way across the pond. Those onion rings were a travesty, and I had the same thought as you about the size of the burger. Sorry you got stung by that kind of disappointment. I’m aggravated for you. Hope you have a wonderful weekend though!
Blows my mind that anyone would pay those prices. In N Z dollars it's around $130. I could feed myself for 2 weeks on that and make my own homemade burger for about $3...which looks better than that one.
@@Bill32H-it3sv But this is the thing, I knew the price before I went in. But I didn't know if the quality would match the price until I went in and tried it. And discovered it didn't.
Well it was packed by the time I left (I was the second customer into the restaurant as it opened). Lots of tourists looking for something to put in their Facebook or Instagram!!
Ten years ago I ate at the Gordon Ramsey burger restaurant in Las Vegas. 3 burgers, 1 coke, 1 beer $100. Nothing fancy, just normal/average menu items. Took an hour to get the food on a non crowded afternoon. When the burgers arrived, all three were wrong. I told the waiter and he was just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oops. No fks given. We didn’t want to wait another hour for new burgers, so we just ate what was given to us. The burgers were good, maybe 6.5 out of 10. I was so excited to eat there and was super disappointed
I live in Phoenix AZ. Lucky Boy Burgers opened in 1950 and still going strong. Not much bigger than a Starbucks. You can get a half pound burger w/ fries and a soda for $12. Good food for a reasonable price. I wonder how many of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants will be open in 75 years?
As of the date this was typed, for us Yanks, 25 quid is equal to about $33 American and 85 quid is equal to about $113 American. I hope the waiter has the decency to give us reach around, too. BTW, Red Robin's tower of onion rings has more and look a hell of a lot better than that.
@@myonlineshop4032 GET REAL. Sadly I can't say what I actually think about you because RUclips will put me in time out for being mean. I've been working in restaurants since 2006, and I've never met a chef that didn't curse all the time. It's part of working in a restaurant. Weak minded people like you would never last in a real kitchen for more than 20 minutes.
Greeno, That was a well made and entertaining video ! Well edited and filmed. My only complaint was that I would have like to hear your assessment of the tastes of the fries minus the ketchup- you never ate them as they were- just plain. I think that’s the only way to get an accurate assessment of them . Other than that point, your review was detailed informative and appreciated. I’ll still avoid this restaurant. It appears to be a case of over promising and underwhelming delivery of a really common food item . Hopefully Ramsay will do something to fix the problems here at this this restaurant.
The basic problem is this: People like you are not supposed to be there. The prices are designed to keep you out. Supply (actually space and demand). I don't bat an eyelid at a $100 meal, it all depends what I feel like, sometimes it's fish and chips (I will pay maybe 20 pound) and sometimes its filet mignon with mushroom sauce. If you want a very good burger, which I have had, go to Planet Hollywood. Excellent.
Keep people like me out, what are you trying to say ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 It's funny, I think however much money I had I would always want to feel the food I received was worth the price paid.
@idanceforpennies281 - YES! When he said that he got a Wagyu burger for $1, I instantly knew he is not qualified to even have an opinion on the matter. The current cost for 1 LB of A5 Wagyu 85/15 ground beef is $155.00. If he doesn't even understand that the term Wagyu only means that it's from a Japanese cow. It is graded A5 and Pureblood Wagyu that we (chefs) are referring to when we say "Wagyu''. It's painful to watch ignorant slobs that don't know their ass from their head.
All of the design colors of the restaurant and the store itself are "Rolex Green 💚! The whole place looks like a giant Rolex box!🤣 Great video, thanks for sharing 👍.
I find Harrods a strange place. The food halls are always heaving with people, but head up to the upper floors and hardly any people apart from a few tourists going round baulking at the prices!
I am dubious about that menu. The "1849 Burger" states the beef is "Kobe". People get excited about seeing "Wagyu" but "Wagyu" is only the breed and whilst still very expensive, is not uncommon in a lot of places. Whereas "Kobe" is a place in Japan where a specific select few of "Wagyu" cattle are reared and so, "Kobe Wagyu" is ridiculously expensive; prohibited so for most people. This menu states it is "A5" which is the highest grade. So honestly, I am sat here asking why is it so cheap at only £85 and why waste such a delicacy on a burger!?! I think the menu writer has been a little "creative" on that one. At best I would say that "1849 Burger" contains less than 10% "Kobe A5" but just enough to plagiarize the description. I know you did not have the "1849 Burger", so I shall park that there. Sorry to state the obvious, but the reasoning behind the price is not just the food itself. You are paying for the name and the atmosphere/ambience. But having said that, this is nowhere near the likes of a 3 Michelin Star restaurant. So, when all said and done, overall, from how you described everything, no I do not think that was worth the money; not even close. You should try Plane Food by Gordan Ramsey at Heathrow Terminal 5, it is an absolute shocker of a place, so no, do not try it! 🤣
Plane Food, isn't that the place our pal Gary went? I remember he gave something like that a real slating. You may be right about that A% beef description. With the amount of marbling in good wagyu I would expect that would make a burger quite unpalatable, irrecspective of whether mincing it is the best way to use that quality of meat. I know it's a price partly based on the name and location, but you still have to justify that with good food, and sadly this place just doesn't!
Remember there are many wealthy people shop in Harrods were £65 for a burger meal is an irrelevant amount of money and they won’t even miss it coming out of their bank balance.
I don't understand why they make these tall burger towers! You see people dismantling them or eating them with a knife and fork. To me, that is defeating the whole object of having a burger. You can clearly see the grease on the onion rings. The lighting picks it up. Burgers always turn into a soggy mess unless they are made up and eaten within two minutes. I guess it's only a place for tourists, so when they get home they can tell all their friends they went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant! Definitely a rip off.
@@GreenoEats I think you are being unreasonably petulant in your commentary. Any deepfried food will exude oil, particularly when it cools down. Also, later in the video you eat a burger with your own hands (what other ways are there ?) and then complain your hands are a little dirty as a result. Another facepalm !!
@power2084 Chef Jean-Pierre makes onion rings on his channel, and fries them so they're not dripping in oil. The key is to get the temperature of the oil right.
I'd like to see Gordon doing a blind (not literally) taste test of his food, not knowing which dish was from his establishment. Looks like you're paying for name recognition, presentation, and location.
Went to Albert’s Schloss in Birmingham last week. 2 Burgers much better than that, 2xfries, onion rings, salad and 2 litres of great lager - £60 all in for both of us plus a live band! Superb!
Once place no-one has ever reviewed and where Id like to see is Delia Smiths restaurant at Carrow Road. From memory you're a football fan and hopefully you'll consider visiting. Prices look reasonable, booking only . Love Delia.
Hello Greeno I personally would have asked for the onion rings to be taken off the bill. These places in London are one hit wonder tourist traps unfortunately.
Had I not been filming I would have certainly made my feelings more known. My server knew when she was clearing the table - you could see it wasn't the first time she was clearing half full plates!

Gordon is a multi multi multi millionaire. He don't give two fucks. Don't blame him! Blame the people with more money than sense who pay his exorbitant prices. Wouldn't you charge £60 for a burger if you knew punters were stupid enough to pay for it. It makes good business sense.
Gordon doesn’t care. I”ve seen his package frozen dinners at Walmart, that he would probably never eat, but anything for money, even if it means losing your reputation.
@@HirorYuGundy whoa whoa whoa... he's selling ready meals in Walmart? Oh the shame !
@@adeaston6553 true enough - supply and demand and all that - but unless they up their game I think the demand might just drop.
10 pound for 5 Onion Rings...Man Gordon has managed to gain a almost 99% pure profit item on his menu
And I didn’t even manage to eat 2 of them! Although his budget for the oil they’re fried in must be huge, as most of it ended up on the board!
@@GreenoEats more like 900%
99% You know nothing about pricing do you? Youre not a chef
Prices are costed at production price then multiplied by 4. Standard practice
@@mrbrightside4278 used to be times by 3 didn’t it?
As expected from Harrods, the restaurant is clearly a rip off tourist trap. The fact that Gordon Ramsay is happy to put his name to it, just shows that he doesn't care about putting out good, quality fare for his customers. What an absolute scam. Utterly shameful. Thank you for the honest review. I've just subscribed.
Welcome to the channel ! I agree, Gordon Ramsay is the ultimate celebrity chef - and this restaurant is much more about the celebrity part than the chef part!
How is Harrods a tourist trap? It's a luxury department store for well over 150 years, everyone who travels to London will know what income level it appeals to.
I agree, but the reality is...do you want to make 750k or 1.5m a year?
From a business point a view there is sadly, only one answer I guess,
It's the most famous department in London where you can spend £35,000 on bed sheets and just coffee and a piece of cake will set you back 10+ quid... Yeah it's no surprise lol. Not being top quality is no surprise either because Harrods is bottom line top dollar no matter the quality levels.
@@ThreeFiddy1701you can buy reasonably priced things in there and it attracts tourists that will buy something as a momento
The reason Ramsay has so much, the people are dumb enough to support his way of doing business.
This is certainly focussed more on the celebrity part of celebrity chef - and people buy into that
Including yourself lol
@@Richard17xx ha ha, only cos I wanted to film there 🙂
Well, I'm glad you paid it and not me.
A £1 cover charge! This is Harrods not G Ramsey.
The burger is tall to give the impression of big. It should be wide.
As for seasoning, salt and pepper should be on the table.
Well, a lesson learned, the name Gordon Ramsey does not indicate quality food.
The high price is probably a Harrods rip off.
Sorry but nobody should be selling a burger meal for that money. 30 tops. Classic rip off material.
I always wonder why when people visit corporate restaurants that are licensed by a celebrity whether it be a movie star or chef are then surprised that it's just a big ripoff with mostly shiat food. 🤣🤣
I knew it would be expensive, just expected something that actually half justified the price tag!
because they have too much money and want to show off and may also have have mental or inbreeding issues and have absolutely no sense of taste. The best burgers & fries are usually found at little Mum & Dad restaurants where you can feed a family of 4 with burgers, fries and rings, drinks + deserts for this price, not fancy but just really good tasty food.
£64.56 for that? This is why I refuse to go to these celebrity restaurants. I can get better at Wimpy.
Crazy pricing right!
It's absurd to pay that.
Someone has to be brain dead.
Or rich enough that it doesn't matter what your lunch costs
I saw another channel review a Ramsay restaurant in London airport and the review wasn’t great there either! Not sure I’ll visit Ramsay restaurant which is a shame as he’s one of my favourite chefs. But this is the problem with famous chefs, if there not there cooking it or managing the kitchen then the quality it’s potentially not gunna be the same. 😋
@@kevinwilsondesigns I reckon his top end eateries are probably still good (the Greeno Eats budget definitely doesn't extend to them though!)
I recommend a chef who actually knows what he is doing like James Martin. Highly recommended in my opinion and thousands of others.
I just can't believe anyone charges 72 quid for a burger. Diabolical
Bonkers isn't it
Just subscribed from my favourite G eats after your appearance there and well done for getting him to the edge of the Naga precipice and such a joy to see Gary hurle himself into the Heat Abyss.
Welcome to the channel 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the Collab with Gary, was fun to do!!
£25 for that burger is daylight robbery. I can get a similar, if not better, burger in my local pub for about £10!
The fries are NOT worth anywhere near £9.50!
The onion rings looked grim, if I saw they were coming out like that I wouldn't have ordered those even for about £2 let alone a tenner.
And £12 for a milkshake is just beyond a joke!
It's crazy money isn't it. They only had one beer on the menu too, a 330ml bottle - also £12 - I mean who is ordering that!!
Spot on with your review, this is the same reason why his restaurant failed in glasgow, i remember he had a fight outside with a customer who said the meat wasnt cooked correctly , i believe he was quoted as saying the people in the area werent accustomed to fine dining, it closed down eventually 👍
At the end of the day you have to keep a steady stream of punters coming through the door....
The ambiance looks like a cafeteria.
The restaurant was done out nicely, although tables quite close together
@@DanielByrnes-t6v yea, hideous booths
Luby's Cafeteria (Texas)
Dude offside on that one. @thewiseguy3529
To think when Gordon Ramsey does Kitchen nightmares, if the food is greasy he spits in out and summons the Manager !! £65.00 🤬
I'd love to see him do a blindfold taste of the food from this restaurant!
A fair and honest assessment

Hi Phil, glad you enjoyed the review - welcome to the channel!!
Ramsay = Ripoff
On this occasion I have to agree!
I found your channel when you were on Gary's video the other day. I really like his videos, so when he recommended your channel I checked it out. I'm glad I did. 😃
Hi Mattias - welcome to the channel ! Thanks so much for the kind words :-)
Same here
@@johnbemister1508 thanks John!
Great review ,I don't eat out on a regular basis, but that looks delicious........ keep em coming.
On the occasions you do go out the please spend you money more wisely than I did here!
Thanks for calling this out Greeno. Peoples hard earned money deserves to be spent on places who personally care about the quality of the food they serve to their customers.
It's strange - the restaurant itself looks really smart, and the serving staff very professional. And then they sell this rubbish at exorbitant prices. Surely the food should get the most focus... style over substance for sure
no disrespect at all..tbf ppl who have hard earned money aint gonna come here or similar places if they cant afford it tho? so many food reviewers/channels are starting to go to very similar places among themselves to the point of now some going to the same places, and they rarely differ in opinion. just my point of view tho.
@@steve-vx3lx The only other review of this place I have seen is from a guy who's channel is called Edinburgh and Beyond - and he loved it !
@@steve-vx3lx You are right. Given the prices this dining experience is rarely accessible to most people on a regular basis and seen as a 'treat' and given the celebrity affiliation a sense of high value and expectation is created. When the quality of the food is as low as this it needs to be called out irrespective of how much you are able to afford it.
@@dariogemelli yep but the quality wasnt dreadful if it was cheap...eg i bet if it was free everyone would be saying the food was amazing
New sub here, came from Gary's channel. Nice review, i ll check out the rest of your videos. Keep up the honest reviews. Greetings from Malta :)
Malta, very nice! Bet it's boiling hot there at the moment! Welcome to the channel!
@@GreenoEats Thank you for the warm welcome. Glad to be here, i love food reviews. As for Malta, It is boiling indeed. Actually this year we hardly had any winterlike weather at all, its a long non stop humid summer 🥵
Keep up the great work, best wishes to you and loved ones 🤗
@@angellomaltezo8291 good to know, I was wondering where might be a good place for a bit of winter sun that isn't the Canaries or in a war zone, so Malta might be on the list 🙂
For £65 Gordon Ramsay should have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around
Ha ha, I think I’ll pass!
Don’t know if you tried it but if you buy a medium vanilla milkshake and a shot of espresso from McDonalds, pour the espresso into the milkshake, give it a stir and it’s amazing. The only thing I ever get at McDonalds now.
I have not done that, but you know I am going to !
@@GreenoEats oooh fab! Enjoy! Let us know how it is. Get a medium though, I find with a large vanilla milkshake and 1 shot of espresso, the coffee kind of gets lost. Unless you really need a pick me up and get a large and 2 shots! Needs must and all that! 👍🏼
You and Gary linking up is needed! Similar great content!
Yeah, we have become great pals over the last few months 🙂
@@GreenoEats wicked to hear!
Second that!
Enjoyed the video mate. I was speaking to Gary I went to one of ramsays restaurants called maize years ago cost about £87 and I came out starving and looking for a a burger bar. I have also been to harrods and had a meal. Won't be going to either again. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.
Thanks Tom - it does seem to me that Ramsay is simply monetising his name these days - for the price paid here the food was woefully short of what you might expect!
this seems like an honest channel , have subbed, and looking forward to a binge
Thanks for the kind words, I hope you will enjoy the content!!
hi Greeno, i am heading to London for the day and really wanted to try this burger, where else would you recommend me going if this isn't a great burger please mate?
I reckon Honest Burger is a good shout, and they have branches all across the city - also one I had at Bleecker was pretty darned good !
I'm an onion ring gal. Those rings did not blow me away. I like the size of them but the lack of seasoning is ridiculous.
They were soooo greasy too - I could only eat 1 and a half of them - which isn't great when the portion cost £10!!
Gordon Ramsay is another chef that opens up a restaurant, gets into debt owing tons to small suppliers then shuts it down and opens another one somewhere else.
I think most of the top chefs have done that at some time or other!
In 2004 he launched the award-winning British series Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, in which he endeavoured to turn failing restaurants into profitable enterprises, and Hell's Kitchen, in which he took on the challenge of turning aspiring restaurateurs into quality chefs; the former ended in 2014 and the latter in 2009
Now Gordon Ramsay himself has been added to this list
He would have a field day with this place on his Kitchen Nightmares show!
@@GreenoEats sure.
Ramsay bought an attractive house, got it knocked down and replaced with concrete looking blocks. Cornwall planning department is, erm, off the wall.
Is that right? Scandalous!!
Great review. Brilliantly shot and presented. Thank you.
That's so kind of you to say so, I'll take that kind of comment all day long 🙂
I see a lot of ppl criticize the price etc but as a treat for myself I don’t find the cost over excessive and you’re paying for the atmosphere as well as the food…location is excellent I’m sure the rent must be catastrophic so of course that has to be included in the cost as well.If I’m ever lucky enough to visit London again I’d be apt to try it😊
I get where you are coming from. However, my counterpoint to that would be there are a LOT of places you can eat in London much better and for half the price.
If you're in London, go to Shake Shack for a coffee shake. Absolutely banging, can't beat it.
Nice one, thanks for the tip!
It rarely works out having a gourmet chef try and do non-gourmet foods. They just can't leave well enough alone and try to justify their prices with ingredients that don't belong. I went to Ramsay's restaurant in Los Angeles, 'The London', once and had the Chateaubriand. It was excellent! That's the kind of thing that Ramsay restaurants should stick to.
I agree, but the problem is that it all comes down to money. I expect his burger restaurants make far more cash than any of his too end places.
He has 110+ restaurants in 9 countries and 17 Michelin Stars. He doesn't need advice from a person that is so stupid that they make comments like, ''It rarely works out having a gourmet chef try and do non-gourmet foods.''
I cannot emphasize how stupid that comment actually is. Good luck.
@@NatPat-yj2or u mad?
With apologies to the other commenter, you are spot-on.
🤗 Hi Greeno! First time here and happy to have found you. Love this review. Honest and straight to the point. £25 for a basic. Those onion glowed with radio active grease obvious from 50 paces. As for the 'funnel fries', very popular across the pond. (Canada)
Looking foeward to more. Have a lovely day. 😊 🥰
Welcome to the channel Linda - and thanks for jumping right into the comments section :-)
Saw you having a hot curry on Gary Eats so had to see this. Harrods or not, it's crazy. 65 pounds for a burger, medium fries, large onion rings , and a small shake.
Even if it was good that'd be a rip off.
Yeah, crazy pricing - just aiming at people who can say they have eaten there and documented it on their socials
Stop these "celebrity-culinary-criminals" worldwide NOW !!
This place was definitely more "celebrity" than "chef"
@@GreenoEats A parfumed parlor with a stinky bill at the end
@@carattentat4944 that’s a very fair description!
@@GreenoEats Thank you so much! Nice to have your channel as a eye opener of the"trustworty"eater out there
Thanks for the informative review.
Gordon has spread his brand so thin it's now become virtually worthless.
Only a matter of time until another of his restaurants go bust!
Thanks mate... Looking forward to your next one😊
Given the lack of customers in this restaurant I don't see how it can be financially viable!
That's why Raymond Blanc puts the rest of the chefs into the shade.
He's not a celebrity all the rest think they're comedians, spend time appearing with celebrity guests pop stars never stop talking 😂😂.
Raymond concentrates on the food!.
He wouldn't send food out like that, as Gary said it's the chefs lol employed owner should have confidence in his staff to produce good plates of food he trained them
Agreed, I would call Raymond Blanc a famous chef, rather than a celebrity chef.
Completely agreed.
As an American, I was salivating over these "terrible onion rings!" 🤣
Ha ha - nooooooooo - they really were dreadful - that oil slick under the onion rings was like Exxon Valdez all over again!
Mate... I'm a geezer over here in Australia, and those prices for that stuff is just insane. Insane. Total rip-off, and I would love to hear what Ramsay's response would be. Anyhow, subscriber, sir. Loved this review.
Thanks for that, and welcome aboard!!
No way I would pay £25 for a small burger like that indeed a rip off
Certainly was - I really wanted it to be good (as you would for £25) but it was bang average at best!
Oh my goodness!! That is $137 New Zealand dollars!! That’s my entire grocery bill per fortnight. Definitely not worth the money, simply because of his name. Thank you for the review though 👍👍👍
It's an awful lot of money for some very average grub that's for sure!
New subscriber here! I fancied a laugh this afternoon and I certainly got one watching this video! I love the Harrods food hall where they have all the lovely, handmade little bits and bobs and we always have a treat and buy something from there when we have a trip to London. But over £60 for a burger and the usual accompaniments is utterly ridiculous and totally unjustifiable. You'd not even get charged that in a top-notch place with 100% organic produce. Oh, and I could have done an omelette in the oil that had dripped off those onion rings! 🤢🤢
There was so much oil dripping from the onion rings that I half expected to find a distressed sea bird in it!! Glad you enjoyed the video. There are a couple of other places I want to try in the high end department stores in London, so look out for them in the coming weeks and months 🙂
people in London must have money to throw away, those prices are ludicrous!
Seemed to be a lot of tourists - many Americans in
It's tourists. Locals wouldn't go anywhere near the place, let alone pay those rip off prices.
Thanks for the honest review Greeno. I though Ramsay would be a rip off, they're all the same and Ramsay has the cheek to criticise other restaurants. About time he visited some of his overpriced crap food outlets and charged realistic prices.Hes a con man. Thanks Greeno , I won't be visiting any Ramsay establishments.
Glad you enjoyed the vlog. As I have said to others, can you imagine him doing a blind tasting of this food, his head would explode!
In Oz a service charge is only applied on Sundays and public holidays to cover extra pay for staff on those days. How can you go into a restaurant and pay a charge for what is necessary, i.e service.
That’s interesting! Here I think a lot of places do it for the simple reason that they can continue to pay low wages, as the service charges will top that up. And they rely on the British mentality of being too embarrassed to ask to have it removed from the bill.
I can make a $85.00 burger frys home and pretend I'm eating there
As long as you have a) seasoning and b) something to drain the onion rings on then I am sure it will be better !
Ramsay's Rip-Off to be sure. "Take five onion rings and give them a bollocking in grease. Then take your f - burger, it doesn't need any f- seasoning but if you f- must f- put it on the f- tomato..." Hope you got something better to masticate upon, Greeno. Bar steward Ramsay took you for a winker there...
Ha ha, great comment that! Tok some self control for me not to go all Ramsay about it, but RUclips would probably block the video for too much swearing!!
@@GreenoEats lol.
Which I have to say 11:37 is it much better than the one I had... LOL Burger time I'm not a python to dislocate my jaw to eat. Funny
You had a worse experience than me? Blimey, I feel sorry for you!!
Wagyu burgers are INSULTING. Most of the time they’re not A5 wagyu just some knockoff “wagyu”, and wagyu isn’t a burger meat due to the high fat ratio, so it’s just a waste to use as a burger. Shame on Gordon for selling that 85 quid scam on his menu.
I do wonder how much Wagyu goes into that patty mix - and as you say, why would a chef want to waste that quality of meat by mincing it and putting in a burger!
Ummm hey smartass. Just an FYI, Einstein... Gordon's burgers are made with A5 from Iwate, Kagoshima, and Tajima. By law, when selling A5 grade Wagyu at a restaurant, you must retain the certification that is sent with the beef. The certification includes the date of slaughter, the prefecture, the distributor, the actual farm, and the actual ID# of the individual cow. Gordon uses an 85/15 ground beef that is made from the trimmings tallow, and unsold portions of A5 Wagyu at the end of the night service, which are collected from his restaurants in the area, and transported to his restaurants that serve Wagyu burgers. You wombats don't get how this works. What a shame.
Dear me, those prices made me wince all the way across the pond. Those onion rings were a travesty, and I had the same thought as you about the size of the burger. Sorry you got stung by that kind of disappointment. I’m aggravated for you. Hope you have a wonderful weekend though!
Tall burgers. Photograph well, but you can't eat the thing! Anyway, I won't let the experience ruin my weekend - I wish you a good one too !
Great review Good to hear your honesty. Good job
Thanks for the kind words!
Blows my mind that anyone would pay those prices. In N Z dollars it's around $130. I could feed myself for 2 weeks on that and make my own homemade burger for about $3...which looks better than that one.
Agreed, it’s madness isn’t it!
It's bloody daylight robbery and an absolute cheek to ask that much I can make a burger way better than that for a few quid.
I am quite sure you can !
@@Bill32H-it3sv But this is the thing, I knew the price before I went in. But I didn't know if the quality would match the price until I went in and tried it. And discovered it didn't.
I was there about two weeks ago, and the Blue Cheese Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had, so 26.50 plus charges is a fair price for me
I'm glad you enjoyed it - maybe the blue cheese made the difference in the flavour.
You can definitely tell how good a place is by the number of customers.
Well it was packed by the time I left (I was the second customer into the restaurant as it opened). Lots of tourists looking for something to put in their Facebook or Instagram!!
Ten years ago I ate at the Gordon Ramsey burger restaurant in Las Vegas. 3 burgers, 1 coke, 1 beer $100. Nothing fancy, just normal/average menu items. Took an hour to get the food on a non crowded afternoon. When the burgers arrived, all three were wrong. I told the waiter and he was just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oops. No fks given. We didn’t want to wait another hour for new burgers, so we just ate what was given to us. The burgers were good, maybe 6.5 out of 10. I was so excited to eat there and was super disappointed
It's a shame when the experience doesn't match up to expectations (or the price tag)
But Ramsay hangs shit on other chef's cooking and other restaurants and look at the crap that his restaurant serves up, total junk and a total rip off
@@bigblockpop indeed!
I live in Phoenix AZ. Lucky Boy Burgers opened in 1950 and still going strong. Not much bigger than a Starbucks. You can get a half pound burger w/ fries and a soda for $12. Good food for a reasonable price. I wonder how many of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants will be open in 75 years?
Not many I would wager!
I’ve seen Ramsay ridicule restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares for serving such a thick burger. Just shows how fake that show was.
Oh yes, and if they hadn't seasoned the fries, and served onion rings in a pool of oil he'd be apoplectic!
As of the date this was typed, for us Yanks, 25 quid is equal to about $33 American and 85 quid is equal to about $113 American. I hope the waiter has the decency to give us reach around, too. BTW, Red Robin's tower of onion rings has more and look a hell of a lot better than that.
Haha, the service was good, but not THAT good 🤣

Gordon should be ashamed.
I doubt he even knows what the food coming out from that kitchen is like.
I dont like him, he curses too much
@@myonlineshop4032 GET REAL. Sadly I can't say what I actually think about you because RUclips will put me in time out for being mean.

Nice honest review - meet up with Gary again soon please.
Thanks for the kind words - and watch this space for news about Gary in a couple of weeks !!
Greeno,
That was a well made and entertaining video !
Well edited and filmed.
My only complaint was that I would have like to hear your assessment of the tastes of the fries minus the ketchup- you never ate them as they were- just plain. I think that’s the only way to get an accurate assessment of them .
Other than that point, your review was detailed informative and appreciated.
I’ll still avoid this restaurant.
It appears to be a case of over promising and underwhelming delivery of a really common food item .
Hopefully Ramsay will do something to fix the problems here at this this restaurant.
Thanks for the kind words, and constructive feedback. I think you are wise to add this to the "avoid" list!!
They either cooked at a lower temperature or they haven't changed their oil vats lately
The "Onion Rings"
And also served straight away, not left to drain at all.
The basic problem is this: People like you are not supposed to be there. The prices are designed to keep you out. Supply (actually space and demand). I don't bat an eyelid at a $100 meal, it all depends what I feel like, sometimes it's fish and chips (I will pay maybe 20 pound) and sometimes its filet mignon with mushroom sauce. If you want a very good burger, which I have had, go to Planet Hollywood. Excellent.
Keep people like me out, what are you trying to say ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 It's funny, I think however much money I had I would always want to feel the food I received was worth the price paid.
@idanceforpennies281 - YES! When he said that he got a Wagyu burger for $1, I instantly knew he is not qualified to even have an opinion on the matter. The current cost for 1 LB of A5 Wagyu 85/15 ground beef is $155.00. If he doesn't even understand that the term Wagyu only means that it's from a Japanese cow. It is graded A5 and Pureblood Wagyu that we (chefs) are referring to when we say "Wagyu''. It's painful to watch ignorant slobs that don't know their ass from their head.
All of the design colors of the restaurant and the store itself are "Rolex Green 💚! The whole place looks like a giant Rolex box!🤣
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍.
I find Harrods a strange place. The food halls are always heaving with people, but head up to the upper floors and hardly any people apart from a few tourists going round baulking at the prices!
I am dubious about that menu. The "1849 Burger" states the beef is "Kobe". People get excited about seeing "Wagyu" but "Wagyu" is only the breed and whilst still very expensive, is not uncommon in a lot of places. Whereas "Kobe" is a place in Japan where a specific select few of "Wagyu" cattle are reared and so, "Kobe Wagyu" is ridiculously expensive; prohibited so for most people. This menu states it is "A5" which is the highest grade. So honestly, I am sat here asking why is it so cheap at only £85 and why waste such a delicacy on a burger!?! I think the menu writer has been a little "creative" on that one. At best I would say that "1849 Burger" contains less than 10% "Kobe A5" but just enough to plagiarize the description.
I know you did not have the "1849 Burger", so I shall park that there.
Sorry to state the obvious, but the reasoning behind the price is not just the food itself. You are paying for the name and the atmosphere/ambience. But having said that, this is nowhere near the likes of a 3 Michelin Star restaurant. So, when all said and done, overall, from how you described everything, no I do not think that was worth the money; not even close. You should try Plane Food by Gordan Ramsey at Heathrow Terminal 5, it is an absolute shocker of a place, so no, do not try it! 🤣
Plane Food, isn't that the place our pal Gary went? I remember he gave something like that a real slating.
You may be right about that A% beef description. With the amount of marbling in good wagyu I would expect that would make a burger quite unpalatable, irrecspective of whether mincing it is the best way to use that quality of meat.
I know it's a price partly based on the name and location, but you still have to justify that with good food, and sadly this place just doesn't!
Remember there are many wealthy people shop in Harrods were £65 for a burger meal is an irrelevant amount of money and they won’t even miss it coming out of their bank balance.
@@davidgriffiths3713 Absolutely, no question about it. But just because there are people who can afford it, that does not mean it is "worth it" 😃
@@davidgriffiths3713 I think those folk are part of the target audience!
I don't understand why they make these tall burger towers! You see people dismantling them or eating them with a knife and fork. To me, that is defeating the whole object of having a burger. You can clearly see the grease on the onion rings. The lighting picks it up. Burgers always turn into a soggy mess unless they are made up and eaten within two minutes. I guess it's only a place for tourists, so when they get home they can tell all their friends they went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant! Definitely a rip off.
Oh yes - it's just a place to "check in" on your Instagram...
Yikes. 12 dollar shake reminds me of Pulp Fiction.
Ha ha, yes!
Orders deep-fried onion rings.
Complains they are oily.
*facepalm*
They shouldn’t be so oily that they leave a slick on the board so massive you might find a distressed seabird in it!
@@GreenoEats I think you are being unreasonably petulant in your commentary. Any deepfried food will exude oil, particularly when it cools down. Also, later in the video you eat a burger with your own hands (what other ways are there ?) and then complain your hands are a little dirty as a result. Another facepalm !!
@power2084 Chef Jean-Pierre makes onion rings on his channel, and fries them so they're not dripping in oil. The key is to get the temperature of the oil right.
I'd like to see Gordon doing a blind (not literally) taste test of his food, not knowing which dish was from his establishment. Looks like you're paying for name recognition, presentation, and location.
He’d definitely find plenty to rant about in his own restaurant!
That's like 85 U.S. dollars?
Yeah, around that (and that's only cos the exchange rate has been so unfavorable to us Brexit - would have been over $100 not so long back ha ha!)
Those onion rings looks terrible! Really lite in color and super greasy. I'll take A&W onion rings over those anyday.
That hamburger looks terrible, I'm about to gag with that soggy bun.
They were. Truly awful. Badly thought out and badly executed.
Nowhere near the quality you expect with that kind of price tag.
Went to Albert’s Schloss in Birmingham last week. 2 Burgers much better than that, 2xfries, onion rings, salad and 2 litres of great lager - £60 all in for both of us plus a live band! Superb!
Blimey, that sounds good to me !!
Once place no-one has ever reviewed and where Id like to see is Delia Smiths restaurant at Carrow Road.

Love Delia.
I am old enough to remember Delia being on the telly every week too! If I am ever up in that part of the world it's definitely one for the list !
@@GreenoEats thanks bro
Hello Greeno
I personally would have asked for the onion rings to be taken off the bill.
These places in London are one hit wonder tourist traps unfortunately.
Had I not been filming I would have certainly made my feelings more known. My server knew when she was clearing the table - you could see it wasn't the first time she was clearing half full plates!
@@GreenoEats surely it doesn’t matter if filming or not ? Your providing an honest revue both to your subscribers & also on the establishment ! Therefore if food is bad call them out ? (Just my opinion)
For the money every part should be perfect and mega tasty ....ridiculous price for a grease fest😮 Lidl 's frozen skin on fries cooked in the air fryer will beat those weedy excuses for fries any day. 💪🏻And even your backpack looked disappointed 🤔😂
@@alastairmckain4623 That's fair, I will be leaving an online review of my experience too
@@kerriesowka6666 with the price tag comes an expectation of quality, of luxury - and the food just didn't deliver on that.
