Stopped by Honest Burgers for lunch. This place was about a block from my hotel and it was rated…read morehigh on Yelp - so yeah, you guys made up my mind for me. The burgers are flavorful, hot, and obviously made to order. While I got a smash burger, you can select for the full sized traditional burger. I loved mine. This place has a hang out vibe. You can sit here and watch folks stroll by on the sidewalk. The staff are very friendly well. If you need a place to hang and have a good burger - this is your place.

Since I was getting take-away, I was politely handed a menu and offered a seat. The entire restaurant was clean and had a nice and inviting atmosphere. The grill and kitchen was in view of most of the seating which allowed for a great burger smell to hang in the air. My order was completed quickly and passed to me in an efficiently packed box in a bag. The burger was EXCELLENT and the chips (fries) played their normal role as a parter to a good sandwich. I also was able to dust off a fresh pint while waiting for my order. Great place to visit for a good burger!

This is one of the worst Burger Kings I've encountered in London. Granted, all BKs are bad, but…read morethis one is especially vile. Why? Well, fast-food requires a certain amount of turnover for freshness (if you can consider precooked shit trash food fresh), and this branch doesn't has many customers at the times I usually show up (aka at 2am shitfaced and looking to fill my stomach with carbs to avert a hangover disaster). The guys that work here are complete DBs -- I ask to "have it my way" and insist on fresh fries and a freshly grilled burger -- but they still just use the crap from their warming stations. Uncool BK homeboys, uncool.

Came here on my last day in London. I'm bumping up to a 4 for really high quality service, but the…read morefood was just okay. Clearly I'm an American, so I know my burgers. What can I say, my country is filled with the obese and fat-loving community. I came here because I was just craving a burger and was amused by the "holy cheesemus" stuff on the outside. Not that I ordered it (Asian American, so lactose is my frienemy). I had the regular burger with a side of fries. The fries itself (crisps? No idea what the locals call it) were crunchy and yummy. When I ordered the burger, my waiter asked if I wanted it medium, and like a proper carnivore, I asked for mid-rare. Rare if it's a slab of steak (make note!). My burger came out...mid-well. It was a good tasting burger, and I didn't feel like being the jerk to send it back. It wasn't burnt or bad tasting, just not expected to get a mid-well. It even had a little flag saying it was mid-rare. It's fine...I realized during my time in London that the UK just doesn't know how to rare up meat. So at this point, I'd give a 3 star. But the manager (I learned later...) came by to grab my empty plates (points for managers who "dirty" their hands), and asked me how it was. I...hesitated and he kinda knew there was something off. I told him about the mid-rare thing and he asked if he could get me dessert or something. Being utterly stuffed, I declined and asked for the check. To my surprise, there was a 20% off. When I asked my waiter why, he said the manager took it off because of the mid-rare thing! NICE! I don't blame the Byron, as I just figure that London doesn't know how to do American-style meat temps. So, I left the "discount" as a tip. Yes, I realize UK doesn't do tips. I'm still American and they can just think I paid full price.

When in the UK, supposedly its a must to try out this burger place. Considering we eat a lot of…read moreburgers in the US and they all taste the same to me, I was pretty skeptical about Byron. So they do have several locations and the one we went to was located on The Cut (ouch~). I tried the Byron and it came with a fried pickle (yum!). Burger didn't taste extra special, but it was still good. I also got some loaded fried to go along with it (fellow Americans - you will have to order fries with it - it doesn't just come with it like in the US). Also, get the mac and cheese - it's pretty good. I also tried their Soda Folk Cherry - very good and nice change from a regular coke.

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.

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.

The menu is monthwatering but finally decided on a Smoking Burger with sweet potato fries and an Oreo shake (as recommended in a review). The shake was soooo good and thick, and can never go wrong with potato fries (why can I never make them as good at home). Sadly the service was not great, the restaurant was about a 1/3 full and I felt forgotten. Other tables that arrived after me were served first. When our food came it was not hot. And we were ignore when trying to get wait staffs attention to pay the bill. We did give our feedback and the waiter was apologetic and gave us a discount on the bill.

It's true that if you've been to one of the many burger chains in London, you've kind of been to them all. However, each one guarantees good- if not great- quality, and a few signature twists of their own. This place is no different, and conveniently-located near one of London's most famous landmarks. The interior of this one leaves a bit to be desired, with it's quirky Scrabble-looking signage and funky colors, but the menu is the same as everywhere else. I was a bit miffed that I had to get up and go order at the bar after being seated, but the menu was straightforward enough that it didn't take long. Service was also a bit lukewarm, but whatevs. It being my first time here, I thought it best to go with one of their benchmark signatures and ordered The Legend burger with smoked applewood cheese and a side of sweet potato fries with a bacon mayonnaise dipping sauce. I have to say, that was one darn good burger. The meat was perfectly cooked, the sauce they used balanced out all the flavors nicely, and those fries were cooked to such perfection, I had to force myself to use the dipping sauce so it wouldn't go to waste. There was nothing wrong with this meal. And the price wasn't bad, either. They also have a nice selection of cheap cocktails, beers, and dessert on the menu, but for all that, you're going to need an extra stomach or two.

The burger was extremely juicy, and came out medium just as I wanted. The fries were crunchy and mostly intact as they removed what I call the 'burnt ends' that I do not care for. Id recommend their house made ketchup, rather than their experimental mayonnaise dip. Their experimental mayonnaise is made with leftover chicken drippings/skin, and while bold, I just don't think it quite works. But I don't think this affects the overall extremely positive review because it's just one type of dip among many. 5/5
