Most of the menu items had delicious gluten‑free options, and everything I tried was so good I genuinely wished I could bring some back with me. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu and gluten‑free options, which made the experience stress‑free. They also had a great drink menu, including solid non‑alcoholic options, which was a huge plus. What really made this place stand out was the fun and unique selection of sauces, they added so much flavor and truly set this spot apart from others we visited. An absolute must‑visit, especially for anyone needing great GF options.

FOOD I got the double smashed burger with cheddar cheese…read more I've never had a burger in England before and didn't know what to expect. As an American, I feel we have good authority on knowing a good vs bad burger. However, exposure to quantity of burgers doesn't always mean they're QUALITY. Honest Burgers humbled me with their quality. This was the best burger I've had in recent memory. I want to say "of all time" because it might be. A picture is worth a thousand words so please check out my photos to see what I'm talking about. First, the attention to the bun was epic. Toasted root beer brown instead of just slapping some buns out of a bag together and calling it a day. Every bite reminded me someone took the time to toast the bread and it worked so well with the meat. Second, the smash patties were cooked so nicely that they had that brown fatty crusting on the edges that gave that familiar beef flavour. Perfectly salted. Now the third reason is they did the right thing with the cheese. They didn't just melt it - they melted and crisped it on the edges to complement those perfect patties. It was filling but I almost ordered a second burger, which I've never contemplated in my life before. To give credit to American burgers, I think this place studied American cuisine and found a way to make it better. The chopped onions and sliced pickles at the bottom of their burgers (delicious and in my photos) is reminiscent of the McDonald's formula, but gourmet. The rosemary chips (French fries) were seasoned nicely but, obvious from the photos, weren't the main attraction. I'd give the fries a 4 out of 5. Didn't get a chance to try their many sauces but guess what? I'll be back tomorrow for that! SERVICE Excellent and friendly service. Conversational yet hustling which is a great sign of management and hiring. AMBIANCE Lovely artisanal burger joint. Decent amount of searing and centrally located on the street. It's literally sticking out and pointing in the middle of the boulevard like the bow of a ship. Just a beautiful spot in general.

I've had lots of good burgers in London but I had yet to find a place that also offers milkshakes. First, the milkshake. I ordered the mint one, which I wasn't aware was a possible flavour but was extremely excited about because I love mint. It was so thick and creamy and absolutely delicious! One of the best milkshakes I've ever had. Served in the stainless steel cup with a straw, frosted and freezing cold. Perfect. Next our burgers. We ordered the hamburger and the chicken burger with two small sides of fries. Everything about the burgers were so good: the bun, the toppings, the beef, the deep fried chicken especially! My boyfriend enjoyed the fries but unfortunately I did not, some were a bit soggy and reminded me of In-n-Out fries which I don't like. More of personal preference but I'm still glad I tried them. Aside from the food the location is also spot on, very close to Bloomsbury campuses. The meal for the two of us was kind of pricey (£23) but it was definitely worth it. Next time I just won't get the fries.

Meaty, flavorful burger. Excellent fries…read more Got The Smokey. Good, thick burger patty. The maple bacon was really tasty. Could have been a crispier, but it wasn't limp. When combined with the bbq sauce it was a bit sweet for my liking. Should be noted I asked for no pickles (because they're just cucumbers soaked in evil) so maybe that would have balanced things. However, they do have a "hot" sauce on the table. It claims to be medium heat. Eh. But it did have enough kick to help tone down the sweetness. The fries were surprisingly good! Crispy exterior, yet still fluffy on the inside. And really well salted. If you're sensitive to salt, it may be a bit much, but for me it was perfect. I was a little worried about service, as that seemed to be the most common compliant. But everything went extremely smoothly. Perhaps because I went on off hours. (2:00) Overall, not only will I return, but will go out of my way if I'm in the area and craving a burger. Next time I'll even get a shake to wash it down.

We also had the tots which are basically has browns but served as little Balls which is a nice format but let down by the so-called cheese sauce which was runny and more milky with very little taste of cheese, it would've been blasted to serve up a blue cheese sauce, but for some strange reason they stopped doing it.

Firstly the prices are still really high - no wonder lots of branches are shutting down and GBK is struggling and rolling back promotions on their app, even with 25% off through NUS it still remained rather above average. I mean come on paying close to £10 for a burger and having to spend another £3 or so on fries and £4.90 for a milkshake (similar price for alcohol) just isn't right. I mean I get it's London, but these prices are nationwide and they're even high for London. The store actually had a rather nice and modern feel to it, it felt like it had been refurbished recently which gave me, even more, hope about this place which sadly crashed with my burger. I ordered a Small Gluten Free Classic Cheese with American Cheese and I was rather disappointed as the burger was firstly messy, the sauce had been blobbed on one side and was dripping off alongside only partially melted cheese and mediocre meat. The fries weren't much better which tasted a little soggy and bland, to the point even their spicy ho ho salt (normally known as hei hei but it's Christmas) and pepper couldn't fix it. It was obviously just a bad cut of potato. The bun was probably the worst part of my dish, it was flaky and doughy and it tasted as it had just been defrosted, it wasn't even heated! My milkshake was probably the only decent thing about the menu, but again it was hard to drink with the paper straw which seemed to sog almost straight away. The Truffle Infused Mayo was really sickly, and I normally like a truffle. Considering it was £1,25 it was overpriced for a sauce, especially a bad one. GBK really has gone down-hill, it seems they're raising prices in-store with service and food quality going down - this is a dangerous spiral which if it carries on like the branch here in Islington, the whole company will be closed within months. 1*

Burgers so dry they are barely edible…read more On the plus side, the fries were really good. Unfortunately we each only tasted a fry or two because we had to sacrifice the ketchup for our burgers. The burgers were so excruciatingly dry that an entire packet of ketchup and Mayo disappeared completely and the burger still remained extremely dry. This level of dessiccation is even more remarkable when you consider the fact that the burgers were completely raw in the centers!!! I would have thought that this country would have learned its lesion after Mad Cow disease. I'm not ever allowed to donate blood in the states because I lived here 30 years ago, and yet this place is serving up raw ground beef like nothing ever happened. Amazing. I would have thought that the undercooking would at least have preserved the juiciness of the burger, but not even that. Again it was dry dry dry. I could have eaten the burger in white gloves without getting a spot. Also we had to wait 30 minutes for our takeout. I'm not sure what they were doing for 30 minutes. Obviously they were not cooking for much of that time. The fries--although delicious--were completely cold by the time we got them, so they had clearly been cooked right at the beginning of the wait. They did not seem particularly busy. Apparently 30 minutes is just how long they think is normal to provide bad burgers. The insult to injury was the two packets of ketchup. The portions of fries are quite generous. The burgers are quite large. The idea that someone looked at two burgers and two fries and decided that two tiny packets of ketchup should be sufficient for the whole lot is insane. I understand that there are some French fry purists in the world who eat them without ketchup, but in my experience at least 95% of people want to dip their fries and even if we didn't have to poach the ketchup to rescue the failed burgers, there would not have been anywhere close to enough. For £36 you'd think they could have spared a few extra packets of ketchup. All told it was a negative experience. Dry, cold, and super slow. I would not recommend.
