Best Burger in the Area

They are still the same thing when served with hamburgers context. Fries is the American terminology, often adapted by UK food retailers. Wedges should be described as wedges.

SJ's right - they offer the thin spindly fries option or the big fat proper chip one

Fries....

Chips...

The choice is yours (and that is how it should be ;-))

DH offer chips and/or fries as a side as well as with burgers -

"Hand-Cut, Twice-Cooked Chips or Fries w/ Tangy Malt Vinegar Mayo ?2.95"

[Gidget]

And what does MeatLiquor have to say about that? Fries in the US are of varying sizes. So it depends on how Yankee like you want to be?

[titch juicy]

where does it say anywhere that anyone is trying to be 'yankee like'?

meatliquor only do fries i think

Nope - I opted for the lobster roll! I'm sure the burger is good, but ?20 for a burger... no way.

[charliemcveigh]

The burger at B&L is good but not worth the ?20.

And Chips are Crisps. What a funny world. What do you get if you ask for Crisps in the US?

How long did you wait? We tried to get in but were informed the queue was 3 hours wait time - so we left. Modern "no booking" ideas may be good for the buzz, informality and impetuous types but they're a real pain when you want to plan an evening

Hamburgers are an American institution. The holy grail of hamburgers appears to be those sampled in the US. That is what I mean by Yankee like. Burger and fries. It's semantics. Over here fries are usually called chips unless you want to show how transatlantic you are. They are the same thing but can be different shapes.

I can't believe I have just read that! And people actually go there?

I think a 'fruit crisp' in the US is similar to a 'fruit crumble' in the UK.

Crumble in the US appears to mean the same as crumb in the UK, and there the chain ends ;-)

Unless you're talking 'cobblers' of course...

The lobster's the bargain. It's all the same price: lobster n chips, lobster roll n chips, burger n chips - ?20. Can't imagine why anyone would have the burger really. Suppose it keeps the allergics happy.

Yes, a fruit crisp is like a fruit crumble, but it usually has oats in it as well, not just flour, sugar and butter. And then there is also a slump and a grunt.

You would need to ask for an apple crisp or whatever fruit for someone to understand you. A crumb cake has a crumble like topping on it.

[Jeremy]

RosieH/Otta - yeah, I don't understand why anyone would go for the burger either. They did look good coming out, but not that good!

Marmora Man - we arrived at 12:10 on a Friday lunchtime, and had a 45 min wait. I hear that early dinner (i.e. 5:30pm) is a good time to go.

Apparently it's doing VERY well. So much so that I think this will be the next restaurant trend..... Menus with 2 or 3 choices on them! Mark Hix will be serving chicken and steak only from one of his places!
