5 Boroughs Everton Park

Upon entry to the restaurant everything looked clean and ready. We were greeted by our server. We were nicely encouraged to sit wherever we wanted, but the server did seem rushed despite the venue being quite quiet. Food took around 15 minutes, which is on the longer side for chicken and a burger, but nothing worth mentioning. We ordered the Classic Cheeseburger on a Gluten Free bun, which was quite a nice burger. But at $20 without chips, sauce or a drink, it’s on the higher end to be sure. We also ordered the Swiss chicken - which was a disappointment. The salad and chips were nice enough, even drizzled with a light balsamic and served with side tomato sauce. The chicken however was extremely grilled, covered in charcoal and was reminiscent of overcooked chicken on an uncleaned grill. It was underseasoned and did not come with a noticeable flavour that was discernible over the charcoal. I would not order this item again, and I’d advise against it from this experience. The drinks were expensive, with coke and equivalents coming in at a whopping $5.50-6.00. The water you’re given at the table is small and lukewarm, and was not refilled once during the meal. Other restaurants at the same centre offer ice water refilled regularly in larger cups. We were politely given a nice farewell upon leaving the venue. With every burger being gluten free optioned, with a nice bun, it would be an excellent option for adults willing to pay more for a burger. There are no age-viable options for younger children with celiac’s offered. For the higher-end pricing of this restaurant you expect a lot, and this time it wasn’t delivered. Three stars because although the experience was far from terrible, we will not be going back.

We’ve come back a few times now - great food and great atmosphere! Busy and bustling is the best description, it’s loud and happy! - the food is top notch and they do Gluten Free really well. Staff are pleasant and cheerful
