The tots weren't bad, and the prices were fair. The burger was OK; service was also just OK. (And I'm glad we ate inside--a patron who came inside from the patio asked to make an order before being told to do so using a QR code as opposed to just ordering from a person. Man, I feel like restaurants have really taken a service hit since COVID.) We were in a bit of a hurry to catch a West End show about 45 minutes after we sat down, and that was a process. Finding a server to place our order took a few minutes. Bringing out burgers and fries took just under 20 minutes. We tried to order dessert, but after about a 10-minute wait, we decided to cancel the dessert order...then found out that the restaurant never logged the dessert order. Across the board, our visit at Byron was a mixed bag. We liked the space, but the burgers weren't exactly strong enough to require me to come back. One of my kids got the chicken tenders, and after we ordered a two-piece portion, they brought out a four-piece...and those four pieces were served so hot that my son couldn't eat his meal for about 10 minutes, when we were already in a time crunch. I think patrons can find better options in this area; Shake Shack and Five Guys, for example, are a three-minute walk from the Byron location on St. Giles. That will be the move next time! read more

I have always loved the burgers at Byron as the quality is way better than you'll find at most other franchise burger joints in London. However, this is my first time eating in this restaurant since before Covid, and it seems a few things have changed for the worse. My main beef (no pun intended) is that you now have no choice but to order on your phone by scanning the QR code on your table. Given that the reception here is pretty bad, the website tends to be slow, and their free wifi is pretty unsecured, it's almost as if they don't want people eating here. That being said, the burgers are still bomb, and they have more variety than you might expect, including vegan and gluten-free options. The patties are cooked to perfection, the sides leave nothing to be desired, and the special sauces are the cherry on top to this smorgasbord of greasy goodness. The space is far from pretty, but you shouldn't have trouble snagging a seat on any day of the week. Given the hassle, though, I wouldn't make the trip here just to eat; it's more of a "when you're in the area" type of place. read more

Byron - Signature Byron Burger and Sweet Potato Fries - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

For an American in London, the burgers were *chef's kiss*! Even the vegan burger! Flawless tysm!

Not even homesick so that isn't slanting my opinion. The cheeseburger and fries er... chips were spot on. Friendly and fast service. Only possible negative is the lavatories are upstairs which might challenge some folks. Appears there's a lift though. Burgers are served medium. I prefer medium rare but went with medium. Nice and juicy still Great for pre show read more

Byron - Cheeseburger in paradise - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

Byron was good. We came in around 11pm craving burgers and beer. We also ordered mac and cheese bites. Burgers were good, bites were OK. It definitely served it's purpose and filled our stomachs when we were hungry, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here unless it were for a quick bite. read more

Cheers to @byronburger, the best American transplant I've found in London! The Brits got it right, it is a "proper hamburger" if I do say so myself! The one thing I've figured out during my past three days in London is that traditional British food is never something foodies will travel across an ocean for. So I was pretty happy when we settled on burgers (and a restaurant that actually had wifi) for lunch today during a work meeting. As our break, my teammates and I relaxed with some delicious burgers including: Byron Burger: Dry cure bacon, mature Cheddar, shredded iceberg, tomato, red onion and Byron sauce Veggie Burger: Grilled Portobello mushroom, roasted red pepper, goat's cheese, baby spinach, tomato, red onion and aioli Smoky Burger: Smoked Cheddar, streaky bacon, crispy fried onions, shredded iceberg, pickles and smoked chilli BBQ sauce Class Burger: 6oz hamburger, lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayonnaise I got the Smoky Burger, which was to die for. I didn't get it with bacon and I switched up the chilli BBQ sauce for chipotle mayo because I can. It still had a little kick to it that I appreciated (and the kosher pickle on the side was just an added bonus). I also got a side of fries, which pretty much kicked In-N-Out's arse! So basically I'm a fan :] read more

See all

I probably shouldn't have gone into this with high expectations. Given that I am American and have had my share of hamburgers back in the states, it was probably wrong to think that Byron would produce a burger just like we do. Although I shouldn't be eating hamburgers anyway, I opted for a Skinny burger. Came with the usual beef patty and cheese, but I added a portobello mushroom to it. So when I saw the word 'skinny,' the menu described the burger as being bun-free. The California girl in me immediately thought about In-N-Out and it's famous 'protein-style,' where the burger is bun-free but is wrapped in lettuce. Big Mistake. When the plate was set in front of me, it was literally 'bun-free,' and by that I mean a patty, melted cheese on top of it, on a plate. There was a little side salad and lettuce and tomato on the side as well. While it wasn't bad, I thought the meat was a little over-done when I ordered it to be medium. Note to self: Whatever you think is going to be like home, it won't be. read more

Went for a burger late last night. Enjoyed every single bite! Medium rare burger done to perfection. Was even enjoying the smokey smell of sizzling beef as soon as we walked into the restaurant. Be warned, size of milkshake is lethal! Overall, most enjoyable, with very friendly and attentive staff and probably one of the best burgers in London. read more

For a Byron, I had a great experience here. We went with a large group for a friend's birthday and the staff handled it perfectly. Service was fast an courteous, the food arrived promptly and everything was as requested. It's hard to find a place that can handle large groups well, this is one of them! read more

I rather like this place, the burgers are incredible and I was quite skeptical at first, but I confess to being a fan. The standard Byron burger With cheese, bacon and "Byron Sauce" whatever that is, cooked medium is rather good. read more

Byron - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

I had only heard wonderful things about Byron burgers, so as you can imagine I was looking forward to trying it out. The burgers are: OK. I by all means have a high bar, having growth up in the US. The buns were a bit flimsy. The meat is fresh but not specifically memorable. Compared to other places nearby.. Byron doesn't live up to either Honest Burger or Burger & Lobster in my opinion. Fine for a quick stop, but if you're looking for something special.. this joint tucked under the corporate office of Central St. Giles likely won't "wow" you ... read more

The watermelon feta salad is very good. Service is also very nice. The burgers are well prepared, fresh, and served relatively fast. Overall great experience, will return! read more

Byron - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

Byron has one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever enjoyed -- and this is coming from an American, who grew up with the dish as a staple of his diet. From the crisp veg to the succulent beef patty, everything about their burger is done with care and pride. It's the only place I visited twice during my visit to London, and if you ever pop in for a burger, fries, and shake, I think it'll be easy for you to understand why. read more

Pretty solid burger. Had the Byron Burger which was on a nice soft bun and served with strips of bacon, which is as an American makes me feel at home. The overall burger had good flavor and got me my fix. read more

Extremely fast service on a very busy afternoon, friendly staff and tasty burgers. Byron is always a good our table was very uncomfortable, small chairs, between the kitchen and the hallway. Ask to be sit next to the Windows if possible read more

Green olives as a starter, cold beer and the best burger I've had in London. The friendly service and casual atmosphere deserve an extra half star. read more

I am a big fan of Byron, what kept me going back are the monthly (sometime bimonthly) special burgers and its accessibility, you can pretty much find a Byron anywhere in central London these days, when you fancy an up market burger, there is a high chance a Byron will be nearby. The new "classic bacon, cheese" this time, howeverdidn't work for me, it was too simple for my liking, lacked the depth or edge which Byron usually is so good at delivering. read more

Byron is our favorite burger place in London!amazing sides and nice waiters and waitresses. Great atmosphere to relax and this place is also very stylish:) read more

Well for the Americans this can be a bit disappointing. I went there today for lunch after being in London for a week I was looking for a good burger. Looked through Yelp and thought this was a good choice. I got the double cheeseburger. While it was cooked medium it lacked the flavor and juiciness that we are used to getting. The bacon was wafer thin which we expect from our big chains but not a gourmet burger place. Finally it was a bit chewy. Not sure how ground beef is chewy but there you go. In the end it was ok but nothing to rave about read more
