Venue/Restaurant: Ed's Easy Diner
Website: www.edseasydiner.com
Location: Basingstoke, UK
Our Menu Choices:
1x Cheese or Cheese (with Swiss cheese)
1x #2 Plate (Combo - Smokey Joe's with fries, coleslaw and onion rings)
Finally back in the UK after going away over Christmas and thought I should start as I mean to go on, by visiting a burger joint! With a 20% off voucher through January, this place is even more good value for money!
My burger (Smokey Joe's) was very saucy (after moaning that the burgers I had in the US didn't have much sauce, this one definitely made up for this!), actually too saucy! The BBQ sauce is really smokey so the amount in this burger was pretty overpowering! Still, a great burger, kept its shape, nicely cooked and the bun was perfectly soft and most importantly, toasted!! Plenty of onion in the burger too, a lot ended up spilling out! The burgers here actually taste of something, so many places you can't really notice much flavour in the patty but not at Ed's! The burger is a good size, very filling and nicely cooked (personal preference, I don't like pink burgers!). Quite liked that the bottom part of the bun didn't end up drowned in grease like in some other places!
The Mrs had a Cheese or Cheese with Swiss, she said the cheese wasn't very noticeable but the burger was still the usual high Ed's standard! Lots of (raw) onion in the burger which was nice! After dunking one of my chips in some of the sauce that had come out of my burger, she said she will be asking for some in this burger next time!
One thing that let the meal down a little was the lukewarm chips and onion rings. We noticed that another table sent their fries back due to being cold. Apart from this, the meal was nice, fast service and tasty food.
This is our first visit to the Basingstoke branch, we usually sit at the bar in the Leicester Square branch and quite enjoy sitting there and chatting with the staff. There does seem to be a better atmosphere in Leicester Square, Basingstoke staff seemed more serious (which isn't a bad thing at all!), anyway, I'm not here to review the restaurant am I!
Ed's never fails to deliver!
