Not at the Riverside but on the burger subject. I had a chicken burger and fries at Lotteria at Aeon on the weekend. I had never eaten there before. The fries were like cardboard. I don't know what part of the chicken was in the patty, but it was bad. I felt sick all day. Haha.

Lotteria used to be BBWorld. A shame they changed the recipe after becoming Lotteria, I used to enjoy BBW burgers.
Tried Lotteria a couple of times, but didn't enjoy it. Haven't been back for a couple of years.

Ha ha ha - I went to one at Sorya to kill time before a movie, wife had the chicken legs and rice I decided I would have the "chicken burger". I imagined it would be something like a KFC chicken breast burger. What I got was a reconstituted disc of god knows what rubbery meat. it had a giant piece of iceberg lettuce chucked on top with the worst bbq sauce I've ever had on top, strangely on the bottom was some quite nice mustard, anyway, the flavors did not go together. after one bite i put it to be thrown away. I had to wait a further 5 mins for the fries that were supposed to come with it, wish I hadnt bothered I've had tastier wood chippings. I'll file it under, never go there again. Literally the worst food I've had in years.

OK. Last Friday, I had a fish burger at the Golden Home Restaurant. 50 cent beers, well presented food. I'd go back there. I know I'm running the risk of totally straying off topic here, but the Chicken fajitas at Cam's Burritos can't be beaten for quality or value. Sorry but I just had to say it.

I've now tried all three burgers at Garage and even though I like blue cheese, eh, just not in a burger, so the regular cheeseburger there still gets my vote.

I ate at Lotteria once and that was once too much. They make McDonalds look fancy.

The chicken burgers at Mama's New York Deli are great value. Add some bacon, cheese, and fries and it's a whole lot of food. For around 6 bucks.

I used to like the buffalo chicken burger at sundance, also massive.
