Gistro by George Standard

Gistro by George Standard is a street-food outlet at 58 Hîncești highway in the Telecentru district, in the Dokuceaev area. It works with burgers on a bun, kebab, chicken strips and nuggets, fries and combo meals, with terrace seating and takeaway; delivery runs across the city. The outlet has no website of its own — the menu is read on site — and it has been through a rebrand: older reviews list it under its previous name, Grill Wagon, and long-standing guests constantly compare the two periods.

Google reviews put the place below average and experiences vary widely. The most repeated theme is precisely that comparison with the pre-rebrand era: several regulars write that the burgers and fries used to be better. The second line of criticism concerns the kitchen and the counter — a thin patty, undercooked nuggets, yellowed salad, orders waited on for over half an hour in an empty venue, and an order repeated three times at the till. Reviewers also mention being refused service shortly before closing. Positive reviews exist too, praising the burgers and the updated menu, but they are in the minority. Do not turn up towards the end of the working day.
