Get Baked

I’m a little torn as to how to rate these guys, given that the food arrived about 1 hour and 45 minutes after I ordered. The honest truth of it is that these guys are total outliers — I don’t think there’s a single other place out there in Leeds that actually serves up gourmet, delicious burgers and delivers them to your door. They DELIVER. Incroyable.
Here in the UK, burger standards are a disgrace when it comes to delivery. (Well, personally, I think they’re a bit of a shambles when it comes to eating them in restaurants, but I’ve got high standards.) Most folks would be familiar with the suspect, flat, previously-​frozen patty on a falling-​apart sesame seed stale bun, with a blob of sugar-​ketchup and some sad, shredded lettuce. Maybe even a slice of 2p «cheese» that has more in common with plastic on a chemical level.
Well, forget those sad, stomach-​churning days. Get Baked (or is it Mr Nice Guys, based on your web address? Confusing!) are here to salve your burger-​hungry dreams. No, really.
Rather than going via Just Eat, go direct to their website, or go old school and phone. The menu offers up an inspiring range of American-​style burgers begging to be delivered to your door and into your mouth. I went straight up cheese and bacon and, in a rare moment of greed, opted for a double. You get to customise everything a bunch, with up to nine toppings (sauce, lettuce, gherkins, etc) for free. I asked for the «naughty sauce», and I’m not sure what that was in the end. (Seemed like sweet mustard, basically?) I also chose the fries. Should you wish, you can go the whole hog and even order in a bunch of American imports — various candies — to complete the pig out session.
And so, I placed my order on their website. I didn’t register, but I did enter an email. The web page expired after a few minutes and my email didn’t have any confirmation, so I rang just in case it didn’t work — I opted to pay in cash so I was concerned the order might not have taken. Sure enough, the lovely chap said it was in, but he had meant to ring to let me know that my order wouldn’t be there for over an hour as it was a really busy night. So, fair enough — it was snowing — but that was a rather long wait. Perhaps an automated warning would be good on their system for busy times? I mean, I was really ready for dinner. But… I wanted a good burger.
And so, about 10 – 15 minutes after the time they said (nice delivery guy, I hope he didn’t notice the mad, ravenous look in my eyes) the food arrived. Huzzah! It wasn’t too cold (burger delivery has to be a tricky thing to time, right?) and it was damned tasty. I’ve a feeling that were this somewhere to eat in, these burgers would be up there among the top. The meat was of great quality, the patties were gargantuan, the brioche bun was an absolute treat, and the fillings were good. There was more cheese than I knew what to do with. Basically, had it been a little hotter and fresh off the grill, it’d have almost been perfect. The fries were (I think) hand cut chips, skin-​on, that married together crispness and fluff.
TL;DR — The burgers are gourmet and utterly worth the money. But the delivery time let them down. I will definitely be ordering another, though, and I look forward to it. These guys are well worth checking out!
