    Had the "Black with the lot" today. A bit bland to be honest. I will take these burgers for free but really don't think they are anything special and wouldn't be paying $12-$14 regularly.

    Take away no problem, though did have to wait about 30 mins!

  • silverrat23 on 07/10/2016 - 15:42

    So, had lunch earlier today (thanks to tonester for the voucher) and ordered a 'Front Bar' Steak sandwich and my goodness, it is HUGE! It was presented in a oblong bun, as opposed to regularly round ones with a steak knife stuck in (and no, I didn't eat that). Definitely need to postpone dinner until much later!

    Funnily enough, I ordered take-away and went through fine - except when the manager hastily shouted (raised voice) to the cashiers it was dine-in only and as a result, personally told me that I'll have to dine-in. It's not a problem since I didn't mind, but it was interesting to be told (not exact words) "We don't like to be mutilated with people just grabbing and go and in exchange, we ask you to dine-in so we can see your beautiful face". It was a strange way to get complimented from a guy to another guy, but hey, don't we all look fabulous with our oddly-coloured nail? (or, terribly like me)

    Later, when the meal was finished, the manager came back to thank me for buying a drink (it was a $3.20 glass bottle of Schweppes) as he said 50 or so people came in just for the burgers and left without buying anything else. I guess they are taking a real beating for handing out the free burgers. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I guess that's why I (and many others) haven't received the vouchers lately…

      Well, the managers really cannot complain as all is as per Ts and Cs and it's for a charity purpose after all, so they should not be looking at covering the cost, this is their opportunity to give back. Most of them are making a killing anyways, one week of even half profits will not make much of a difference for sure…
      In stores I visited I have always been the only one with the voucher. All around Sydney CBD and Chatswood.

      • silverrat23 on 07/10/2016 - 17:21

        In stores I visited I have always been the only one with the voucher. All around Sydney CBD and Chatswood.

        It's the other way in Melbourne, both in the suburbs and the CBD. Probably only 1 in 10 actually bought a burger (or anything else like today's experience).

          I do visit Grill sporadically regardless of the promotion, but overall they are pretty expensive. A burger, chips and drink easily adds up to 25 bucks which is too much IMO. There are a dozen joints on Groupon and Scoopon offering similar 'Gourmet' burgers for 10 bucks with chips and drink… Not to mention how much would you get for 25 bucks in an Asian place.

          Maybe that's the reason. If they were affordable ppl wouldn't be so keen to maximise this promotion?

        • t25 on 07/10/2016 - 17:48

          @noskich: Wait til you see what McD charge for their meals and it almost makes Grill'd look reasonable.

          One of my customers (a massive cheapskate/#1 whinger) complained about the cost of a meal at McD.

        • noskich on 07/10/2016 - 18:03

          @t25:
          Wouldn't know about that one as I'm a vegetarian. I only went to Hungry Jacks for veggie burgers when there were coupons to firstly get them for free and later for two dollars years ago… Would not pay more for that junk anyways.

    Got my first lot in Melb. Steak switch. Super nice, no attitude, no nail polish, no queues.

  • tdw on 07/10/2016 - 20:07

    well it didn't take long to bump into a (profanity) who tried to weasel the t&c's. i've been using printed vouchers; no problems until today. was at Clarkson WA, as soon as i produced my printed barcode voucher, the [presumably] manager said 'it has to be on your smartphone.'
    me: used a paper voucher yesterday and no problems. t&c's also don't say it has to be on a smartphone
    him: it has to be on your smartphone. you could use the voucher again on your phone after this
    me: it expires as soon as it's redeemed
    him: it has to be on your smartphone.
    me: i don't have a smartphone, that's why i printed it out.

    seeing that i wasn't going to give up so easily, he offered to "call someone", and agreed to process both the paper voucher and allow me to get the burger as a takeaway.

        There's more to the cause than just donating. Having the polished nail means people ask questions and I get to tell them what its about… awareness is just as important as fundraising. I'd say that the organisers would be happy for you to sign up, get a burger each day, get no donations, but would be happy that you talked to 1 person about it.

        • t25 on 07/10/2016 - 22:00

          Just like any advertising, it is to get people to talk about it. Nothing more, nothing less. Donations simply help these good causes continue their good work.

      Wow talk about anal. My experience has been very easy and pleasant. Staff are more than happy to honour the free burgers and allow take away, no checking of the nail and no anal rules about printed or electronic vouchers. That guy takes his job way too seriously. Not everyone has a phone either..

      • tdw on 07/10/2016 - 20:33

          Had same experience at BWS the other day, staff member refused my free beer unless making a purchase. Didn't want anything, just stopped by on my way home. Complained by email and told area managers have been notified, awaiting response. I wouldn't normally bother for something so trivial, except power tripping staff really get on my nerves. I knew the terms of the promotion and their own staff don't..

        • tdw on 07/10/2016 - 20:52

          @nubzy: lol i've had to involve an area manager for a red rooster freebie a few years ago. since i had time, i waited for the area manager to turn up to the store (that same day). he then processed my voucher, asked if i wanted a complimentary drink (to which i said thanks but no thanks) and showed that staff there how to do their jobs. great success!

    4th night in a row at my local (Mt Lawley WA). First time tonight that they checked the nail. I've been offered take-away every night, but tonight they said it should be eat-in only but allowed takeaway because they were full. Apparently they did 80 free burgers on Thursday night.

      i've never been asked but then again it's obvious enough that they don't need to ask.

      is it so difficult to just to paint your nail (using whatever pigment-dispensing medium you desire), then rock up to the store? you're making it harder for yourself than need be.

      • SaberX on 10/10/2016 - 14:04

        Well ive just white board markered my nail black. Forgot to ask the mrs for hers.

        No it isnt, but if i could avoid white board marking my nail it's just easier, esp with a white shirt mindfulness and wiping it on there since obviously don't worry about painted nails previously lol

        Hopefully the staff have better things to do than question my questionable looking "polish" (whiteboard marker) nail haha. Since obviously polish looks diff.

        As another poster mentioned if they have pots there then it's fine since they're pretty cool about it

          well it is part of the t&c's of the promotion, and considering the value you're getting out of it, it is but a very minor inconvenience.

          and if you're concerned about marking your white shirt, you'd have better results using a marker a bit more permanent than whiteboard marker ;)

          The whiteboard market worked its job - most of it has rubbed off now so at least when I can't wear it (professional occupation) it can be removed, and drawn back on when needed ;)

          haha i've had the chickpea patty one, was nice but also leaves that empty feeling compared to some beef/meat, guess that's how it is since obviously beef is protein and sits more heavily in the tummy.

          Thanks for the sweet chilli mayo suggestion - i thought it came with sauce already but if now I might chuck that in. Best sauce for their chips as it is… sure it must go great with the burger too :D

        I also had this tonight - but I added A LOT of some sort of hot sauce they had on the counter in front of where they prepare the burgers (I only discovered this when sitting right next to the counter due to limited seats).

        With that combination, it was pretty tasty!

        In near 6 years of going here, can't believe I never knew they had hot sauce!

          Yeah, that was my reaction…

          This is what they had:

          Not sure if it's a once off - if you can't see it anyone, casually ask when they deliver your burger

          I complimented the guy that picked up the plates that it was great, and he said they have hot chili mayo (think you can get it with chips), or something else hotter for a 'little bit extra' ($)

          @SnakeDoctor:

          I sometimes get the hot chilli mayo but my usual is the sweet one with the chips (love their chips). But I haven't seen that hot sauce at any of the ones I've been too. Admittedly I haven't really looked extensively when I'm there. Will see tmr. Thanks for the heads up!

          @CVonC:

          Do you like tomato sauce with chips ?

          It was sitting on the counter next to the hot sauce!

          I'll take a pic on next visit!

    Strange i got this in my hotmail spam but not gmail. Anyone else who signed up also have problems with gmail?

      received every email in my gmail account so far

      • SaberX on 10/10/2016 - 15:55

        strange. I got it in the Hotmail but not gmail. I've signed up another email address with gmail to 'test' out why. I did use the same mobile number on both sign ups maybe thats' why only one voucher went out? I only signed up twice yesterday incase this happened - i.e. a voucher didn't arrive in one account. Sure enough…

        interesting to see if tomorrow both accounts work and if indeed the system is temperamental?

    Redeemed my 3rd burger of the promotion so far - never had any problems, got Take Away each time, paper voucher, and haven't brought anything else.
    Today was the first time they even asked to see a painted nail (no problem - nailed it!)

    I may get a drink tomorrow - I am feeling a little like I owe them something :)

    I have talked about the nail to a few people, so I'm doing my part though :)

  • inasero on 10/10/2016 - 17:53

    If anyone has a spare voucher for today they're not using let me know, thanks!
