Grill'd Casuarina

Used to be good but down hill rapidly! Do not visit on a Friday night... restaurant looked about 60% full and we ordered.... then waited and waited and waited. A flood of pick up orders before us... and the by some miracle when it arrived it was cold! I don't know how a restaurant that busy could have cold food. Then they forgot the chips, then forgot the Mayo's, then brought the wrong ones, then there was no cutlery or napkins... you get the point. It will be a while before I return

I’ve visited several times ,the last two visits , ensured I won’t go back . Previous visit more staff than customers, dirty tables all over , stayed like that until we left , food fine , but no cutlery or napkins on table or with meal ,nLast visit we were the only customers, Went the bar after taking drinks ourselves to table , requested some ice , told no ice in bar , I asked why not they reply was ‘company policy ‘The meal arrived ordered a burger /sides and a ‘New Chickpea salad ‘ which consisted of a very small amount of spinach ,2 cherry tomatoes cut in halves , 2 wafer thin slices of pickled beetroot , couple of bits of red onion ,with ... Sweet potato fries in with some chickpeas ,few slices of pickle and lastly a big spoon of chilli relishnThe bowl was only half full . I lie not when I say I was still so hungry , I went elsewhere for more food , something I never do .nOne customer also turned up to pick up his pre ordered while we were their , sadly his order hadn’t been cooked , and he was told to come back .nI really like the burgers but the serve size and experience is a definite put off

Absolute best burgers I've had in Darwin, and they absolutely nail it every time!nnI HIGHLY recommend trying out their Beyond Burgers.nThe service is good, and the environment is nice to eat in.nnThe downsides about Grill'd is that it's commonly known they tend to underpay their workers, which is a shame because they do such a great job. You'd think with the price of their meals, the workers would actually receive more than they do.nAside from their burgers being brilliant, basically all of their chips I've found to be quite dull and kind of just a thing you get on the side to fill you up, but not so much to actually enjoy - this and worker payments has unfortunately dropped the review to 4 stars.nnDespite my above criticism, it's still great to come here regularly.

In a word...meh. Worst chips in Darwin, the regular chips tasting more like b-grade frozen oven chips, the sweet potato chips were overcooked and soggy. The burger was okay, nothing to rave about and definitely not worth what they charged me. Overall not something I'd come back for.

Love the burgers at grill'd. Always delicious and made fresh. Staff friendly and love the voting for donations to charities / clubs they do.
