Decent fast food style burger chains are still few and far between in my opinion and you'd be forgiven for thinking that all fast food burgers are of similar quality to McDonald's but there's been a huge game changer that's arrived in Doncaster recently and I can't believe I've only just discovered it.
Urban Fresh Burgers and Fries arrived down Wheatley Hall Road in Doncaster offering beef and chicken burgers as well as veggie options served with fries cooked in peanut oil (drooling face emoji). If you're from Doncaster or within driving distance, treat this blog post as a public service announcement - this is the quality of Five Guys but at a fraction of the price.
A 'regular' burger is actually 2 'patties', with small being just the one. I went for a cheeseburger and Kev went for a bacon cheeseburger 'The Urban Way' which has lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, pickles, mayo, ketchup and mustard. You can, of course, choose your own toppings from a huge list available on the board but The Urban Way is the only way for me.
Considering these are fresh, premium quality burgers, the prices are so reasonable at £4.95 for a 2 patty cheese burger, the peanut oil fries are £1.95 for a regular portion (which is huge as you'll see further down) and the drinks are £2.95 (which may seem a little steep but they are refillable with a choice of 100+ drinks!). You can have a look at the full menu to find their chicken and veggie options.
Preparing food in front of customers is a real winner for me - you see exactly what's happening with your burgers at each stage of making them and it shows how well and truly fresh everything is! The staff are amazingly efficient at what they do and even at busy times you know they're working as hard as they can to keep your wait time to a minimum.
The whole process from ordering to picking up your food is perfected at Urban, the slight wait gives you chance to decide which drink you're going to choose from the Coke Freestyle machine (the fact that there's one of these in Doncaster is a revelation for me, I'd come here just to use that because I love an extensive drinks choice!)
There's variations of all sorts of different drinks so make sure you set aside a few minutes to browse the endless possibilities (I'd recommend Peach Fanta; Emma from Emma Drew Info recommended it to me and I can wholeheartedly say it's amazing!).
The burger is what I would describe as a 'dirty burger' and by that I mean that you are not going to come out with clean hands - it's every bit as juicy and amazing as a fresh 100% beef burger should be. The Urban Way toppings go together perfectly and the peanut oil fries are an absolute revelation - you'll never want normal fries ever again!
To see some amazing photos of their burgers head over to the Urban Facebook page (I don't eat in so by the time I've got mine home the photo just doesn't do it justice at all and you have to believe me that these are the most amazing fast food burgers in Doncaster)! They have additional stores opening at the brand new Lakeside triangle later this year and also one at Rotherham Parkgate - trust me, you need to try this
