Byron menu
Andrew G.

Great chocolate milkshake -- excellent ingredients !! ( no bad artificial stuff) friendly staff had allergen info and got out ingredients. Also had chicken Caesar , Byron hamburger, wings, onion rings , fries. Alas the Caesar dressing was ver bland , and grilled chicken on the salad was a bit off- however both hot / fresh -and served fast.. Fries were ok - nothing special Onion rings had good flavor , as did wings. Burger was very tasty and prepared excellently Wings had interesting hot - slightly sweet sauce

One of the best beers in the world... a can was a slight downer though!

London seemes to have more burger places these days than an American mall and I like it! I am a huge fan of good burgers so I really feel like a kid in a candy store... Byron is definetely in my TOP 3 -burger places. The ingredients are simple but extremely good! Not a huge variety of choises but more than enough... The sides are interesting too. We had courgette fries which were a nice change to the normal potato fries. They also have a nice selection of Brew Dog beers though the fact that they came in a can was rather dissapointing!

As an American who has spent over a year in Europe searching for a decent hamburger has been a personal quest of mine. Finally after endless attempts I found a real, quality American style burger in the heart of London at Byron. The meat was tasty, they actually managed to cook it medium and the flavors were spot on. They have American style fast food fries as well as English chips. Other American favorites fill the menu like onion rings and shakes. They even have real A&W Root Beer, a true taste from home I never saw anywhere else in Europe. The service at the Kensington High Street location was fast and super friendly. Every waitress in the place was friendly and eager to please. If you're searching for a bit of economical American food in London I can't recommend it highly enough. Best burgers I've had in Europe by a mile.

Loved the Byron special. Doneness of the meat was done perfectly! The restaurant ambience is done very well.

When an American goes abroad there are a few daunting worries they are sometimes faced with: abiding by visa regulations, currency conversion, cultural barriers....and the quest for the authentic burger. My beau and I attempted this place a while back after he heard about it from a friend of his. In my book, word of mouth is always good, delicious burger in mouth is always better. I've been here a few times now, and every time I'm greeted by friendly staff with minimal to no waiting time for a table. The atmosphere is warm and well-lit and there are little stylish nuances about the place that you can't help but notice: silly comics and pictures on postcards for the place, or a playing card on your table. The menu may appear limited at first, but in my experience this is usually a good thing for burger joints. They have more than you can handle, and even a drink menu that ups the class a couple notches. I'm pretty sure we took a photo of the label of what their "best white wine" was that first night so we could remember to buy it again later. Who would have thought?! Burger lovers from all over can gather here and know that they even have options for vegetarians or those who prefer the "skinny" bun-free burger (a concept that will forever remain elusive to me) and options for those who are constantly arguing with limited capacity of their stomach. I think my only criticism would be the price of the sides. Not that they're too much, but just that they're à la carte. As any American burger enthusiast would know, most burger restaurants have a meal deal that includes a drink and a side...and it's so conveniently classy that you can just order it by number ("I'll take a #6 please!). But I'm not one to judge. Maybe it's to curb our habit to over eat, maybe it's to allow the burger to proudly stand on its own...maybe it's a genius business scheme because everyone knows that even if we're told french fries (chips) can cause cancer, we know they will always make the burger taste better. Either way, as a proud American I'll join others (US and UK alike) in a coalition effort to recommend this restaurant for the food and service. If this were high school, and each menu item were a member of the school's soccer (football) team, I would proudly say that I've dated most of them. I wandered over to the Byron website and the "Story" section starts like this: "The Byron story hails from the misspent nights of my youth. During a four year stint in America, I ate enough hamburgers to sink the Titanic." And I'm sold all over again.

I was really impressed with the burgers here. My boyfriend had been going on and on about them, so a load of us finally went. He told me to be prepared to pay around £10 for a burger and chips, and I did so although I could have spent much more had I have gone all out with my burger choice. For example, I only had a classic burger with a grilled mushroom. But had I have had a special Byron burger, I would have had to fork out £8 for the burger alone. The burger was pretty damn good, they say it was medium rare but it was a little more to the rare side- this meant it was delicious, juicy flavoursome. With ketchup and mayo and the gherkin INSIDE (they serve it next to the burger for some reason) it was near perfect. I had the hand cut chips and they were a bit soggy, but I like that. I also nicked some onion rings off people and they were crispy, although a little greasy. I did the same with my boyfriend's milkshake, it was very good, but I don't think I could have handled it aswell. Byron's is a great place to go with mates or with family, our waiter was really funny and helpful. Thumb up! I had a massive food hangover the next day though, and felt like I would never eat again.

The home made lemonade is just sour enough for me, making it a nice refreshing drink for this meal.

The Mayfair Chippy - My to go order was so tasty. Fries could have been crisper but the fish was on point!

Mayfair Chippy absolutely lived up to the hype. The fish was fresh, flaky, and wrapped in a…read moreperfectly crisp batter that stayed light instead of greasy. The chips were thick-cut, properly salted, and tasted like real chip shop fries instead of frozen fast food fries. The place was completely packed, so I ended up eating on the stairs about a block away, honestly felt like part of the experience. One of those spots that doesn't try to reinvent fish and chips. it just does the classic version better than most places. Would easily go back next time I am in London.

When you've just arrived in London and need gluten free fish and chips, look no further than…read moreMayfair chippy! Food/drinks: Maybe the best fish and chips I've ever had! (I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!
