Byron was fantastic! The food was on point: big burgers, hot fries, cold drinks, and the chocolate brownie with ice cream was SPECTACULAR! This was on the same level as expensive burgers in the US, but WAY CHEAPER! read more

Stopped in and ordered takeaway and everything was ready within 10 minutes. The Byron Burger (bacon + cheese) was actually quite tasty and definitely worked when hungry for an american-style burger. Great burger + great chips + takeaway = happy customer! read more

The restaurant has a good atmosphere, laid back and welcoming. The menu has neat graphics and cool designs. I maybe overindulged in a chicken burger, onion rings, and vanilla milkshake. The bun on the burger I didn't particularly enjoy. The milkshake was delicious. My friend had an Oreo shake which was good. Prices are reasonable for London. read more

My wife and I stooped into Byron for a burger after a long day on a bus touring Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath. The bus dropped us off next to Gloucester Road tube station, so we decided to grab a burger here before heading to our flat. The service was extremely helpful here. My wife has a gluten allergy, and the server was completely understanding and helped us find an option that was safe and delicious (any burger can be "skinny" with no bun and a salad added). The size of the burger was perfect for us - a 6 ounce patty is just right when you omit the bun. It was cooked just right, too. We weren't expecting much, but I think we would actively seek out Byron again if we were looking for a burger. It was yummy. read more

my husband and i stepped in at 11:28pm because we saw this place was open (London isn't a great late night dining town in some areas). we were informed that they only do take away for the last half hour - so definitely be warned if your hotel/house isn't nearby. that was a huge bummer. the food was very good, however. i got the byron and he got the double bacon cheese. burgers cooked nicely, fries were good, and we were very pleased with the food. if you don't have dine in the last 30 minutes, then maybe you should adjust the hours, yeah? but if you want a tasty burger near gloucester station, i'd definitely recommend! read more

I love this place. I've walked by them many times (e,g, Westfield London) but didn't realize the selection of items. I ordered the hamburger, strawberry shake and wedge salad. The shake was HUGE -- they serve it to you in the mixing container. It was a real shake made with ice cream, milk and strawberries -- I loved it, but it was enough for two people. The wedge salad was a British version of the American wedge, but I thought it was great -- in true U.K. tradition the salad dressing was on the tame side, but it was tasty. The burger is very high-quality meat, server medium. The buns were excellent along with the onions, tomatoes (but pickle was on the side instead of dill chips). My only complaint is the swipe of mayoniase wasn't enough and it made the burger a little bland. Next time I'm ordering a side of the BBQ sauce. I also intend to order the onion rings and chicken sandwich which looked good. read more

This may have been the best hamburger I have ever had! "The Byron" was just plain awesome...just wished they had a better selection of IPAs. read more

Byron - Byron burger with fries and a hoppy lager! - American Near Me - London, XGL

If you're in the mood for a burger and don't want fast food this is a great choice. While it is a chain they do make some tasty burgers. I've always been satisfied with my orders and will definitely come back. I've had a regular hamburger and well as a bacon bbq burger and both were good. Fries are small- medium size in thickness. Menu is robust and offers non beef options as well. I'm a fan! read more

Simply put, it was the best burger I've ever had. Better than In n out in SF and Five Guys or Shake Shack in New York. PS: to the Shake Shack lovers out there, they are opening in Coventry Garden here in London. read more

The atmosphere when we first entered the restaurant gave a very good first impression. The interior resembled a meat market with it's checkered floor. And the atmosphere felt very relaxed and the staff very friendly. I went with a canned (unusual!) micro-brewed IPA and the Byron Burger. The burger was a good size and served on a seedless bun. The state of the bread was a slight disappointment as it crumbled and lacked the chewiness of a real good bun. The patty was cooked medium (medium-well-ish) and had a pink center but was still rather dry when I cut into it. The texture was that of a well done patty, just pink. The condiments were excellent though and the "Byron sauce" had a nice flavor to it. For sides we went with the home made skin-on chips which were excellent, nice flavor, and the onion rings which where a bit too greasy. The service was excellent but the food was just a slight disappointment. I'm not saying Byron's burgers are bad, on the contrary it's actually better than most places, I'm just saying there are better burgers out there. read more

After a long day of touring, the food here was amazing and felt so European eating the Proper Olives! read more

Great, proper, American burger. Best we've ever had out of the states. And if I were honest better than some in the states too! And you can order it medium rare! read more

Went there for Saturday lunch with family (read kids aged 10 and under) and Friends (same profile). Kids enjoyed the burgers/shakes, and the service was good, prompt and with smiles. The burgers were ok , but I am not convinced they are the best possible, for a place that claims to specialise in them. Mine was fairly plain, even with the Byron sauce, that sounds great, but actually a bit devoid of taste. Good for kids etc, and so would happily go back. A different experience to my visit to the Soho branch (reviewed seperately), which I would not repeat. read more

The vegetarian burger, which featured portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, aioli and goat cheese, was superb and my Oreo milkshake (with malt) was a pleasant reminder of home in the states. A bit expensive for my student budget but a nice treat nonetheless. I've also had the excellent macaroni and cheese, caesar salad, and chips. read more

As an American tourist in Europe, I couldn't help but crave a really hearty meal every once in awhile. Byron was always my answer, as while the Gloucester Rd. stop was right by my school, I could always be sure I would find a Byron burger in almost every borough I was in. A cool design element is that each one is decorated differently, and slightly reflects the area it is in (The other south kensington branch is just around the corner but looks much more posh and classic, mirroring the expensive flats surrounding it). I've had the cheese burger, Byron burger, and chicken burger - all fantastic and cooked right to order. I had friends who got the B-rex burger during that monthly promotion and loved it! Their seasonal burgers are definitely ones to try. I also always ordered a side of fries or mac and cheese (because I'm American of course), and the mac and cheese was pretty much to die for. The milkshakes were also great diner food to go along with the burger and fries - Try the oreo cookie milkshake! Very quick service in every location. I would call as I walked out of classes to order something to go, and by the time I got there it was always ready - never more than 20 min! read more

My husband and I (live in southern California) had a 1 night layover in London and given that we had just traveled from North Africa we were CRAVING American food. After looking up local restaurants we settled on Byron for dinner. We LOVED it! The ladies working there were amazingly nice, great, fast, friendly service. We ordered the hot wings, 2 burgers, fries milkshake and lots of tequilla! The burgers were cooked perfectly, not too pink. Everything was fresh, clean and super tasty! Next time we're in London we will definitely return vs. trying our luck on a another new place! read more

Awesome burger! Everything here is large scale. Shakes, burgers, sides! Roomy dining area. Very nice wait staff. You will not leave hungry.

As an American, Byron is a disappointment. Other than really good service by the Polish waitresses, there weren't many high points. The burgers are way overpriced. The beef is thin and dry. Sides are pricey and aren't included in your order. The fries were okay, but the zucchini fries were limp. People bring their kids here, so it gets a bit loud inside. read more

I am always suspicious of restaurants right next to hotels. This one happens to be across the street from a slew of hotels on Gloucester Road. What is a "proper" burger in London? According to Byron, its grass fed local beef. Hmm....Sounds Good.... Ordered the Byron Burger (basically a cheeseburger with a sauce that reminded me of the sauce on Big Macs). It's pretty good except I made the mistake of ordering it well done (thinking that Londoners like Parisians mean medium to be rare...NOT). Because of the type of beef, it's leaner and came out a little dry. I don't remember anything about the fries except that I ate them. The green olives are great!!! The lemonade was okay. Definitely alot of locals come to this place... You'll find the tourists next door at the patisserie, tesco, and burger king. Not a cheap burger...But I never quite adjusted to calculating 9 pounds to mean $15 bucks a pop. read more

Wow, what a great burger. Beef was perfectly cooked to order. The choices cover everyone's tastes and the atmosphere and staff were wonderful. Thanks for a great lunch Byron. read more

This burger is great. Reminded me of being home in the States. Staff was friendly, and helpful. Give it 2 thumbs up.

Close to the best onion rings ive ever had. The portobello burger tasted good but the portobello was really small. I was expecting it to be a little bigger. From what i hear the meat burgers are really good and they will cook it any way you like it. Usually burgers here will be dead dead dead well done dead. Go to Paul next door for dessert read more

This tasted like any ordinary burger joint in my opinion. Our group was just starving and looking for some place to eat. I say this is just London's version of UMAMI burger, but definitely gives much bigger burgers than UMAMI. read more

After celebrating my 50th birthday at sunset at Stonehenge, my tour returned late. Needing a birthday dinner rather late on a Sunday evening, Easter no less, we happened upon Byron Proper Burger; and what a proper burger it was. It's good to see really great burgers aren't just at home in North Carolina. read more

Very good milkshakes! I had the Oreo cookie one- absolutely to die for. The burgers are good too, but they get expensive quickly. Didn't like the onion rings too much- too crispy and the actual onions didn't seem cooked. The service was great when I went! read more

I try not to eat typical "American" food when I travel abroad but I was with a colleague who didn't want anything but. We went here after exhausting a few other places and they had good, solid American burgers. I would eat here again if I had the craving for a good burger. read more

Small burgers but very good. Best onion rings I had in a while. Good service as well.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Byron's Proper Burger in London May 31st 2017. I'm so picky about my burgers that I very seldom go out to have one because I just make the best at home. So when I do have a burger out, the bar is set so high that usually they don't compare, but not this time! The burger was SO good I finished the entire burger along with the zucchini fries (courgette fries) omg Yum! I also had to go here since my love dog in the States is named Byron! 5 star and our waitress Viviana was absolutely the best #viviana #Byron burger. Just GO! You won't be disappointed! Thank you! Gaynelle read more

Best burgers in London. Anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant wanker. And yes, it is totally unacceptable to review a burger joint when you've only had the chicken sandwich. Yeah I'm talking to you, Peter F. read more

Pretty good hamburgers and decent prices. They cook the burgers to a medium unless you specify otherwise. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very casual making it a great place to meetup with friends. The tables are a bit cramped and the noise level is average. The american burger with green chilis was HOT!!!!!! read more

Awesome burgers (still think they're better in the states). Def try the courgette fries - I was surprised how crispy they were. The onion rings were a little greasy and wished it was a little crispier. read more

So, we were walking up Gloucester Road hungry and fancying a Gourmet Burger Kitchen burger, when I spied this place just before it. I had always wanted to try Byron so we went in. I ordered the blue cheese burger. I was interested to compare it to GBK and it certainly avoids the slightly unusual features of the latter I.e paying before you eat. The burgers are one size at Byron but you can get doubles. The menu says burgers are all medium unless you want it done differently. I was asked and said medium. When it came it was redder than medium. It was ok. The meat is clearly good quality but, unlike GBK, the blue cheese was a smattering of dressing. In GBK you can get actual cheese. I couldn't taste it. The chips were good but the onion rings were all batter. In my view GBK has the edge though there was nothing to actually complain about. Service was good. Next time, I'll cover that extra 30 yards to GBK I think. read more

This place is awesome. This was the first real meal my husband and I had after arriving in London. We were jetlagged and we were hungry. Byron was just what we needed. We split the portobello burger which was very tasty (don't forget the HP sauce.) We also had an order of the onion rings which we perfectly cooked. I'm sad we were not in the Kensington area for more than a couple days, I think we would have found our way back to this restaurant! read more

Best burger I've ever had, although the cost adds up a bit once you order fries and a shake with your £9 burger. Worth it though.

One of the best burgers I've ever had, honestly! The meat stems from happy Scottish cows and has a very distinct and fresh taste, brilliant. I went for the Skinny Burger, i.e. the one without a bun. Instead I got a fantastic salad with an amazing dressing that really knocked me off my socks. The burger came with toppings of avocado, mushrooms and cheese, and went down well I wish we had a burger company like this in Germany! Def will come back on my next visit to London. I will then, however, make sure to either visit another branch or snatch a table in the comfortable section further away from the kitchen. We were sitting on an extremely narrow table amidst the kitchen exhausts and smelled like freshly grilled burgers ourselves afterwards. This and the slow paying process, almost forgot about that - is the only reason I can't give 5 stars this time, everything else was just fine! read more

Was in london a few weeks ago and had a byron burger. Not the greatest burger but it as ok. i loved the fries and the BBQ that they offered. Better than going to burger king right next store. price were also nice. Would go back again in the future. read more

I go here about once a week. The burgers are really good. The service is a little slow.

Franchising restaurants with some good burgers. Quality and taste are good. Price of the burger is OK.

After a long final day in London, we were so thankful for the Byron establishment on Gloucester Road. The waitstaff is diligent and eager to seat us, however, they were VERY busy! The burger and fixings were juicy and delicious. Should we return to the area, we will definitely be back! read more
