2.5/5

Buttermilk fried chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, mayo, and hot pepper sauce on a brioche bun. (£11.50 + £3.50 for fries)

Being the first burger I have reviewed on this website it pains me to give it a low rating, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations.

Having gone to Swingers Crazy Golf near Liverpool Street for a work function we were promised food. There was a decent selection of burger options, but I had to go for my favourite kind, the old reliable, a buttermilk fried chicken burger. The wait was about 15 minutes which I was impressed with given the number of people ordering.

Being a fast-casual diner in a crazy golf establishment I didn’t have the highest of hopes, but I was expecting a semi-decent burger nonetheless.

Toppings 4/5

There was a generous helping of the toppings, the cheese was amazing and the bacon was the perfect crispiness. Unfortunately, the hot sauce was hotter than expected. I am usually able to handle hot sauce, but I found myself reaching across for my drink to try to help with the burn.

Patty 1/5

I will always pick a buttermilk fried chicken patty wherever possible. I tend to find the majority are good, with very few being exceptional and very occasionally I come across one that disappoints me. This was one for the latter category. The bread crumbs were soggy and there was only a very thin layer. It was cooked to a perfect level but I struggle to see how it was fried, it reminded me more of a home-cooked breadcrumbed chicken.

Bun 5/5

It was a brioche bun, need I say more?

Fries 2/5

The fries were not included in the price of the burger, no one likes paying extra for fries. I forked out the extra £3.50 and hoped it would be worth it. It wasn’t. They had hardly any salt on them and similarly to the patty they were a bit soggy and didn’t taste like they had been cooked in a deep frier. They also came with homemade tomato sauce (always a risky choice) which was lacking in flavour.
