00:00Hi guys, welcome to the latest LP Eats burger review episode.

00:10Now today, heading across Preston to a place called Grill Shack on Deakdale Road.

00:15Really keen to try this place, got a lot of recommendations for it, feeling hungry today

00:19so yeah, very keen to see what kind of stuff they're serving up.

00:23Grey skies unfortunately so yeah, not getting that late summer spurt of sun but never mind,

00:29we move.

00:30So yeah, let's head on over to Grill Shack, see what it's like, get some grub.

00:41Hi guys, welcome back to our review of Grill Shack.

00:43Now last time I left you, we were just heading over the city from our offices in the media

00:49factory at the university over to Deakdale Road to try Grill Shack.

00:53Now I was really excited about this place, it was kind of somewhat a bit different, we've

00:57not quite had one of this kind of type so far, so really excited to try it out.

01:02Headed over, first things first, so the thing that really catches your eye about this place

01:06is the kind of modern neon signage outside, it's one of those kind of very hip and glitzy

01:12eye-catching kind of places which you kind of see more and more in city centres these

01:18days.

01:19So yeah, nice start to it all, very welcoming, very glitzy and glam so headed in to see if

01:25the food could kind of match the exterior of this place and yeah, the vibe was good,

01:30loads of people in there, dead busy, something which I noticed was that the phone was kind

01:34of ringing off the hook so that's always nice to see because yeah, shows it's popular.

01:38So yeah, for the vibe I'm going to give them a 4 out of 5, it was really good in there.

01:42Service took a slightly longer than you'd want but they were making everything fresh

01:46so not really a complaint, it's just a comment, you know, they make it fresh, it's not just

01:50sat there under a heat lamp so positive I guess.

01:53On to the burger itself, now I was hungry, I was really, really hungry so I thought right,

01:57I'll get the burger, I'll double it up, I'll get the cheeseburger, make it a double cheeseburger,

02:01get some fries and you can get doner meat as well for a quid so I thought yeah, I'll

02:05do that, why not, you only live once, let's go for it.

02:08So went for that and got this heaving takeaway container of seriously hefty grub.

02:16Now that was a good thing, like I say, I was really hungry on this day so brilliant news

02:20for me but just for anyone else looking for something, this thing is going to fill you

02:24up, it's going to satisfy you, it was brilliant.

02:27So the meat, the burgers were like, almost like spicy, they weren't kind of like classic

02:32ground beef, they were more like McDonald's patties but spicier and way better than McDonald's,

02:37that kind of vibe though and the whole burger itself actually reminded me of McDonald's,

02:41actually one of my colleagues was there when I was eating and she was like, oh that smells

02:45so much like McDonald's, I was like, it really does but it's like McDonald's plus, it was

02:50next level compared to anything you'll ever get at Maccy's so positive on that front.

02:53The meat itself, slightly thinner patties, not got that natural juiciness but they were

02:57very tasty, nice and seasoned nicely, bit of spice to them as well so that was a positive,

03:02two of them which is always good, like I said I doubled up so that was good.

03:05I'm going to give them a 3.5 out of 5 for the meat, as for the moisture, like I say,

03:12the patties themselves weren't, it feels like I'm complaining but it's not, they weren't

03:16the classic thick, juicy, biting some, you've got napkins everywhere because of how much

03:21juiciness are in them so the moisture wasn't 100% there but the salad was really good so

03:26that brought a lot to it, there was sauce on the salad, there was a nice bit of cheese

03:29as well, none of it was dry without it being moist if you know what I mean, it wasn't one

03:34or the other but it wasn't a bad thing either, I didn't notice it thinking, oh god this needs

03:39a bit of something so I'm going to give them a 3.5 out of 5 on that front as well.

03:43Now we're coming to the things which really make Grillshack stand out, one, the extras,

03:48I know I went for the extras, I went for the fries and the doner but the doner was outstanding,

03:55brilliant, just what you want from doner meat, it was spicy, it was fresh, it was juicy,

04:02it was, everything about it was just bang on, perfect, loads of sauce on there, chilli

04:07sauce, garlic sauce, brilliant, my mouth's watering just thinking about it, 10 out of

04:1110, 5 out of 5, brilliant, the chips, crispy without being like, you know when you get

04:15hard chips sometimes, they're crispy all the way through, these didn't have that, they

04:19had that fluffiness in the middle still, that was great, they were seasoned really nice

04:23as well, they weren't just plain chips, they had a bit of almost like a salt and pepper

04:26chip vibe to them-ish, they were great, brilliant, salad on the burger was great, 5 out of 5

04:33for the extras at Grillshack, they knocked it out of the park, just brilliant, no notes

04:38whatsoever, perfect, as for the value, 5 out of 5 as well, this whole thing, which

04:43is massive, cost me £6, zero complaints whatsoever, that is a bargain, that might be the biggest

04:48bargain I've ever encountered during this LP Eats series and the previous LP Eats series

04:53which we did on kebabs as well in this city, so just such good value for money, check it

04:57out yourself, it's, yeah, such kind of like good value for money when you're getting that

05:03much change from a tenner and you're getting that much food, so seriously impressive marks

05:07on that from, which I believe gives them a total score, let me just check my notes,

05:12of 21 out of 25, which is seriously good scores, especially from when you compare it to like

05:18those inner city glitzy places which are almost like sit down meal burger places, for like

05:24your proper classic takeaway burger spot to be scoring that high, I think so impressive,

05:29I love this spot, I hope I get a chance to go back at some other point because I loved

05:34it, it was great, just what you want from a lunchtime meal, filled me up, satisfied,

05:38didn't cost me that much cash, what's this complain about, really really good score from

05:42Grillshack, loved it, I'll definitely be heading back there, you should check it out yourself as

05:45well, so yeah, cheers for watching!
