Brick House Bistro, Anna Nagar

19:07:00

Okay, no place has created so much buzz in less than 1 week of its opening. So that speaks volumes about the joint. And  I visited this place on two consecutive days! So now that is another proof of how good the burger is. Without further ado, let me pronounce its name.  The restaurant in question is Brick House Bistro located in Anna Nagar.

For BURGER lovers and American food enthusiasts  the quest for the perfect beef burger ends here. I am out of words to explain the taste, the burger carries. My benchmark for a great burger is Wimpys which was located in Alsa Mall back in the days. I used to frequent Wimpys as a kid with my Granddada who was a connoisseur of food. So any burger, must stand up to that standard. Later the reference point became the Gallopin Gooseberrys.  Now it is Brick House Bistro!

So here it goes. The pictures are from the second time I dined here.


Food:
Our order was simple. Stick to the basics. We ordered a Double Ground Beef Burger, Double Dog and a Stunner King Club Chicken Sandwich.


Double Dog -  Hot dog stuffed, mustard loaded on a perfect bun. Tastes delicious.


King Club Sandwich - Sandwich based on chicken sausage filled with mayo inside a nice toasted bread. Just divine.



Double Ground Beef Burger - I had the single the previous day. I think it is safe to say I will stick to single. Double is just too much. The bun : meat ratio is just much for me to handle. But once in a while I definitely would not mind  having  it. The bun is perfect, does not break down, caramelised onions perfect, cheese loaded, just bit of tomatoes. Ahhhh!!!! that perfect combination. One bite, two bites, three bites............  Foodgasam!!! Tastes just like Wimpys!!! Those memories!


To quench our thirst we had a Dark Chocolate Shake (DCS) and a Cold Coffee. DCS just kicked cold coffee's @$$.

Finally we decided to just nibble on something sweet. We ordered the Lemon Cheese Cake. This is something which is not made in house and it shows. The base was so-so the cheese was melty. The lemon in essence was kind of like a hint which at times was equal to absent.

Ambiance:
Simple decor. Could seat 20 odd people at a time. Works perfect for the kind of food on offer.

Service:
They are definitely trying hard to find the groove. I am pretty sure, a few more days and things will become silky smooth.

Price:
This meal cost us Rs 1450 /- including a beef burger take away. Best value for 3 people.

Food - 8.5/10 (Not counting the cake)
Ambiance - 7.5/10
Service - 7.5/10
Price - 8/10

Brick House Bistro is located next to Yamaha Showroom in Anna Nagar in the road adjacent to K4 Police Station.

QT Grills, Gandhinagar, Adyar

19:15:00

I have always been taught and learnt to have desserts after food. But this time a group of foodies stepped out to have an eclair platter and coffee at Marriott.  Some of us were still hungry after this. A small picture of a burger on Facebook sealed the deal and we were lured to dine at QT Grills.




Food:
Since we all decided to have a small bite instead of going for full portions we picked up a Cheese Burger and BBQ Beef Burger and finally a Garden Medallion. Cheese Burger was beef burger with a layer of Cheese served with French Fries, a bit a coleslaw and fresh veggies. While the BBQ Beef Burger had the same beef patty with a dash of BBQ sauce. Finally the Garden Medallion for the only veggie among the group, was a veggie in a carbs loaded potato served with mashed potato and a piece of bread. 



The highlight of the dish was the sauce in which it was served in. Of the two beef burgers I would definitely pick the BBQ Beef burger because of the added juiciness.

Ambiance:
Looked like a decent copy of Sparkys. I must say I loved the retro tracks played here.

Service:
Service was a little slow, but I definitely would not mind as the round of desserts was already in my belly.

Price:
This is finally the shocker. 2burgers and a Veg steak cost us Rs 570/- after taxes. I definitely would not mind driving all the way to have these delicious burgers.

Food - 7.5/10
