I have to start that I love ribs at Hurricanes and considering how nice they are, you’d think the same would apply to everything else on their menu. But it’s not.

I wasn’t impressed at all when my burger came out. They of course have the burger opened so you can see what’s inside it and also so you can put your own sauce onto your burger. I guess that’s fair enough, but I would have expected my sauce to be already inside my burger and extra provided on the side for just in case. On top of that, they provide you with one piece of roughly cut pickles…it’s not even enough to properly cover your whole burger. Same can be said about the tomato, onion and lettuce…although they did supply enough lettuce (just not cut to my liking though) Picture inserted.

So I have to improvise – I cut my pickle slice into smaller pieces and spread them out over my burger. The thing that really annoys me is that the burgers are actually all the same – the only difference is the sauce you put into your burger. This really ticks me off! Paying $21.50 for a burger is a massive rip! Especially considering it’s not exactly the best tasting burger around.

I think parts of my patty were actually burnt as well. Either that or it’s just the grill hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Either way, next time I go to Hurricanes it won’t be for their burgers, it’ll be for their ribs…hmmmm!

My score: 2.5 out of 5

Until next time!

I've said before that we only rate the burger, and i'll stick to that, but on this occasion the poor service had an impact on the burger and affected my score.

This burger is for meat lovers. It contains a massive slab of beef and not much else. Considering it's all about the beef, I thought it had to be good. Well, i was wrong! Unfortunately, i didn't get a pic of the burger with the beef patty cut in half. The patty was rare, and i asked for medium to well. Sure, i could have sent it back, but i had already waited 30 min, had the drinks orders stuffed up and witnessed a senior staff member trying to fix up other orders that had been stuffed up. If i had sent it back i'm sure they would have returned with a pizza.

I've been here before and the service was good. The key is to get a regular staff member, not a backpacker that's just come in for a few shifts.

Even when the service was good and the burger was cooked the way i like it, i wasn't really impressed.

Paul's score: 2/5
