Allstars Gourmet in Newham

Not Quite All the Stars Every time I come down to East London - there is a "New" burger joint thats opened - and like the sucker I am - I grab the nieces & nephew and head out to try it. Obviously the munchkins think I'm the best Uncle ever ! The location: Green Street, Forest Gate, East London - E7. Lets start with Location - nowhere to park at all - best come after 8pm if you want free parking. The appearance: Very glitzy American Diner - which was good in America in the 50's - but I don't think its all that in 2023 London. In fact I just don't see the point of this retro theme - not sure who they are aiming this at - as the prices are beyond the pockets of the average teen (maybe not London teens - as I'm a northerner once you're past Watford and I don't know any teens with £15 to blow on a burger unless they've just got their Birthday, Eid, Christmas money !) - So I'm guessing its aiming at kids & young adults but mum & or dad have to come along to foot the bill ! The kids were not that taken by the interior at all. The burgers were way better than their nearest rival Route 58. However in my opinion and those of the tribe - we all prefer Loaded Burger - which incidentally is even pricier ! I tried to locate their website - www.allstarsgourmet.co.uk - but got redirected to a holding page - so they don't actually have a website. What we ordered: The Classic Allstars Burger - £4.49 - Plus Extra fried egg (runny yolk) - £1.20 6oz Beef patty served with American cheese, fried onions, tomato, lettuce & Allstars secret sauce. The VIP - bacon cheeseburger - £7.95 6oz Beef patty served with American cheese, blue cheese, turkey bacon, onion rings, fried onions, pickles, tomato, lettuce & allstars secret sauce. Starstruck - £6.95 Grilled chicken & a 6oz beef patty served with American cheese, tomato, lettuce & mayonnaise. Side Order: Rosemary & thyme homemade chips - £1.95 Chilli Nachos - £3.95 - Tortilla chips topped with beef, jalapenos, salsa & melted cheese. Drinks: 7up, Pepsi & a J2O at £1.95 each _______ The others said their food was good but I can only comment on what I had eaten - which was ...... The Classic Allstars Burger - £4.49 - Plus Extra fried egg (runny yolk) - £1.20 Rosemary & thyme homemade chips - £1.95 Chilli Nachos - £3.95 The Nachos where nice and fresh - good taste & texture - good crunch - but the cheese on the Nachos was not great - id have preferred the sort of runny cheese you get at the movies. The beef was good and over all the Nachos were not bad at all. The Rosemary & Thyme Homemade Chip - tasted of just chips - no seasoning at all - they didn't appear to be homemade either. I'd blank those in the future if I ever go back ? The Classic Allstars Burger - Plus Extra fried egg (runny yolk) - The burger was a good size and way better than expected. However the Egg I requested and paid £1.20 for - which I wanted runny - was hard and totally cooked through. What a letdown. It just proves that they are not bothered about standards. The Order would have clearly stated extra egg (runny) - as I insisted with the waiter that is what I wanted and was reassured - that is what I Will get ???? Just proves to me that the Chef doesn't read the order ticket & is not bothered about what leaves his kitchen - If he cared he would not have allowed this mistake to happen. He’s Fired ! The next person to be fired - would be whoever is controlling the Pass - they should have spotted the error and checked the order to make sure what was ordered matches what is going to the customer - FIRED ! 3rd person to be Fired - is the waiter - again - he took the order and knew my requirements as I was very particular about it - He should have double checked with the Pass controller or chef that the order was correct and as requested - He didn't - He’s Fired ! I pointed the issue out with the waiter and he said he would get another Egg - WHAT ? The whole order should be redone - what am I supposed to do - wait for another runny egg to arrive and then rebuild the burger myself ? I declined - ate my burger and left feeling done over for paying for something which I didn't get in the way I wanted. It’s the small things which separate the good and the bad or average food places. The food is good here; the prices are a little steep for what you get. I think they should take £1 off everything on the Menu - which would then be the correct pricing. £1.20 for an egg is horrific - Tops it should be .60p £2 for a drink - is off the mark too - McDonalds just around the corner charges £1.29 for a large cola. Lets see what happens when i next come to London and if the nieces & nephews want to come here again - I’m not sure I want to, unless the owner replies to this message and invites us all to a replacement meal (on the house, of course).

Fui al restaurante Allstars Gourmet en Green Street sin esperar mucho, pero me equivoqué (recuerda que decir nunca juzgues un libro por su portada). De todos modos, desde el exterior parece muy pequeño, pero cuando entras está muy limpio. ! ! . La cocina también está abierta para que puedas ver lo bien que se cocinan y lo limpios que están. Pedimos el plato mixto con 2 hamburguesas clásicas (que son enormes e incluso se pueden compartir entre 2 adultos) con papas fritas caseras que estaban deliciosas. Los niños también se divirtieron mucho ya que al entrar les dieron un paquete de colorear que fue una gran idea. Definitivamente lo recomendaré a mis amigos y familiares. ¡No puedo esperar a regresar! ! !

6/10 * La comida estaba buena  La ensalada utilizada debe ser más fresca y no cocida. * El servicio fue 10/10 * El ambiente era 7/10

I can't even imagine what my stomach had been through, never tasted that sh$t, please go away, it has to be unpermitted to serve that kind of sh$t, not even animal deserve that.

Reservamos una mesa para las 7 pm para una familia de 11. llegó a las 6: 45 pm ordenó a las 7 pm. La comida llega a las 9: 30 pm de muy mala calidad. La comida estaba fría. Ordenaron unos cuantos batidos para los niños que dijeron que estaban demasiado ocupados para hacer las bebidas. Definitivamente no volveré a ir
