My party of 2 spent $120 at Gordon Ramsay Burger. Our meal at the chef's chain restaurant was a surprisingly great value.
My partner and I spent $120 at Gordon Ramsay's burger restaurant in downtown Boston. We both enjoyed our burgers, and also ordered appetizers and dessert. Overall, the meal was a bit pricey, but I'd definitely eat at the restaurant again. From Hell's Kitchen to Gordon Ramsay Steak, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has amassed an impressive line of chain restaurants around the world. Back in December, my partner and I headed to the chef's upscale burger joint in downtown Boston with a simple mission: to decide if a meal there is worth the price. I'll admit it: I'm always skeptical of a chain restaurant, even one with such a powerful name behind it. But sometimes, there's nothing like a good burger. Here's what our experience was like. We arrived right on time and were seated promptly. When we arrived at the restaurant on a Monday night for dinner, we were seated promptly. Gordon Ramsay Burger has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, which made for some cozy people watching. The restaurant felt busy, but wasn't crowded. It took us a little while to be waited on, so we ordered our drinks and apps simultaneously. The appetizers came out before our drinks. I knew the minute I saw the appetizer menu that I'd want the street corn dip ($13), which came with tortilla chips. It was difficult not to fill up on the cheesy corn dip before my burger. We also tried the New England clam chowder ($10). Thick and creamy, the chowder's clams were chopped smaller than usual, and it (unconventionally) had bits of bacon, too. Although the flavor was delicious, my partner and I are something of chowder purists, so we probably wouldn't order it again. Our drinks paired nicely with the street corn dip. To drink, my partner ordered the seasonal Harpoon beer ($8) that was on draft. I went for the Caballo Blanco cocktail ($19), which was made with tequila, fresh lime, Angostura bitters, ginger, and pineapple. Sweet and strong, my drink paired well with the street corn dip. We both ordered burgers as our entrées. For my entree, I chose the Idiot Burger ($20) — a smash burger topped with short rib, Gruyere, cheddar, and roasted mushrooms. It also had a spicy tomato chutney and came on a soft and squishy sesame seed bun. Although it was meatier than the meals I usually go for, I loved it. My partner ordered the Hell's Kitchen Burger ($19) with applewood-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, Sriracha aioli, tomato-jalapeño jam, and mashed avocado. We both agreed this burger was a little too salty — but other than that, it was a solid take on a bacon cheeseburger. We also ordered a side of truffle fries. None of the burgers on the menu come with a side, so we ordered a plate of truffle fries ($12). Fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and covered in shredded Parmesan, these were top-tier. One order of fries was more than enough for the two of us. For dessert, we ordered a milkshake to share. The dessert menu has some tempting, classic options — namely a chocolate brownie sundae and a cookie skillet — that we were too full to consider. Lighter dessert selections included a root beer float and some milkshakes. We ordered the Oreo crème brûlée shake ($10), which was just as delicious as it sounds. The classic shake flavor was elevated with a swirl of crème brûlée pudding and topped with whipped cream. Despite our huge burgers, it wasn't exactly hard to finish. Aside from a few drawbacks, we thought our $120 meal was worth the price. Overall, for the location and the amount of food we got, we were pleased with our $120 meal, which was the price before we added a tip. If I wanted to save some money, I'd probably skip the appetizers next time. The only downside was that we had to flag down our server a few times. Although this wasn't ideal, it didn't negatively impact our experience. Since Gordon Ramsay Burger has locations in other cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, and Vancouver, I'd consider it a fun, reliable spot to go if I didn't know anything about an area's food scene. I'd also return to the Boston location if I was in the area and craving a good burger.

Multi-Michelin Starred Chef Gordon Ramsay Celebrated Grand Opening of Canada's First Gordon Ramsay Steak at River Rock Casino Resort
Soccer legend Christine Sinclair joins Chef Gordon Ramsay to celebrate the Grand Opening RICHMOND, British Columbia, February 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Culinary icon and multi-Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay made a grand entrance into Vancouver's dining scene with the official opening of Gordon Ramsay Steak at River Rock Casino Resort Friday night. The waterfront restaurant welcomed approximately 200 VIP guests to an unforgettable evening, marking the official Grand Opening of Chef Ramsay's first fine dining restaurant in Canada. The partnership with Great Canadian Entertainment was announced in 2023, with the popular and more casual Gordon Ramsay Burger opening at Great Canadian Vancouver in December 2023, before construction on the highly anticipated steakhouse was complete. Since taking its first reservations just a few short weeks ago, the 266-seat Gordon Ramsay Steak - the centrepiece of a reimagined lobby at River Rock Casino Resort - has been met with rave reviews. With a dining experience that seamlessly blends Ramsay's culinary excellence with breathtaking waterfront views, it has quickly become a must-visit destination for delighted diners. Great Canadian Entertainment CEO Matthew Anfinson and Canadian soccer legend Christine Sinclair joined Chef Ramsay for a ribbon-cutting ceremony prior to the red carpet. During a champagne toast, which included welcome remarks from Anfinson and Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam Indian Band, Sinclair presented Ramsay with a Team Canada soccer jersey and a scarf from the brand-new Vancouver Rise women's soccer team of the Northern Super League. He immediately endeared himself to the 200 invited guests, acknowledging Canada's Four Nations Cup overtime win, and praising his entire local 150-person team. "Getting to spend time with the chefs, the front of house, back of house, receptionists, waiters… the passion and the desire that's running this restaurant is just extraordinary," said Ramsay. "Chefs depend on their brigades, we're only as good as our brigades, so thank you." "I'm blessed to confirm that 85% of our ingredients are sourced locally," said Ramsay to massive applause. "That's quite rare. I fell in love with Richmond and Vancouver BC over 20 years ago, and this whole area blew my mind. So, on behalf of the entire Gordon Ramsay team, from Vegas to London to Richmond, it's very special to be here, and now it's my turn to help continue this legacy and respect the ground it's been built on." The evening began when Chef Ramsay, alongside Anfinson and Sinclair hosted a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony. After entering the party, he graciously spent time meeting the guests, taking photos and encouraging them to try the restaurant's specialties. Guests indulged in an exquisite menu featuring Ramsay's signature dishes, including Beef Wellington, Miso Glazed Sablefish and Tuna Tartare, a tower of fresh seafood including lobster, crab and oysters displayed in a massive ice sculpture, alongside expertly crafted cocktails. Among the highlights was the cheekily named "Notes from Gordon", a cocktail served with a rolled-up note featuring a punchy message from Chef Ramsay. Dessert naturally included his signature Sticky Toffee Pudding. During a brief ceremony to officially inaugurate the restaurant, Ramsay led a champagne toast and was joined by Chief Sparrow, City of Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Anfinson and Sinclair. "This process started about three years ago. Gordon Ramsay has 88 restaurants around the world, and we thought, "why not give Canada a shot? And here we are today," said Anfinson. "As a kid growing up just 15 minutes from here, kicking a soccer ball around, this was definitely not on my bingo card," said Sinclair. "I am a very proud Canadian. My Canadian roots, my Vancouver roots run deep. So, Gordon, thank you for choosing to open your first fine dining restaurant here in my backyard in Richmond. Welcome to the lower mainland of BC." While presenting a Team Canada soccer jersey to Ramsay, she quipped, "I'm sorry that it's not Chelsea Blue, it's more of a Liverpool red," teasing him about his well-known reverence for the Chelsea Football Team. She went on to proudly remind everyone that Canada is about to launch its first ever women's professional soccer league, and after presenting him with one of the first official team scarves, invited Ramsay to join her for the opening match on April 16, and promised she would bring the team for dinner at Gordon Ramsay Steak afterwards. Earlier in the day, Chef Ramsay made a memorable journey on the Canada Line and praised the ease of travel between downtown Vancouver and River Rock, with the Bridgeport Station conveniently located on-site. At lunchtime, Ramsay hosted a fun and interactive burger making competition for eight lucky guests at Great Canadian Casino Vancouver. Throughout the day, Chef Ramsay spent time in the kitchens with his teams, ensuring every menu item and service met the restaurant's elevated standards. Gordon Ramsay Steak is open for dinner daily from 5:00 PM. Reservations are recommended and available via OpenTable.
