Grill'd Burgers, Ascot

I found myself Ascot way and in need of a quick feed. As I haven't been to Grill'd before, I thought I should try it. I was greeted by a friendly staff member and I proceeded to look at the menu and then make my order. It was taken by a seemingly bored staff member, who didn't engage me and simply asked the same questions she must ask many other customers during the course of her shift.
There were many staff members milling about and working in the small kitchen; I counted at least seven. It didn't seem to me the most hygienic manner of preparing food. There were three people at the narrow kitchen counter. One slathered butter and placed a bit of salad on one-half of a bun, the other two waited for the grilled burger, placed a couple more pieces of salad on top of the burger, put it together, along with other parts of the order, such as chips and sauce.
As the kitchen staff prepared the burgers, their t-shirts and dirty-looking aprons came constantly in contact with the food and they didn't seem to take notice of it. As a customer waiting on eating one of those burgers, I couldn't help noticing it through the glass-fronted window. The point of wearing gloves while preparing food good enough to be served is hygiene, I had thought.
My Baa Baa' Burger was tastier than the Big Queenslander my hubby had ordered; he thought that it tasted just like any frozen beef patty, so I tried it and I had to agree. We liked the chips – they were herb-sprinkled and flavoursome, well-done and crispy.
I had heard favourable things about Grill'd, but I was disappointed through my own experience. And no, I don't feel compelled to eat there again, now or in the future.
