Place is small, and has a cool Kensington urban look. Dropped back by few evenings later, ordered, and can only say WOW! Meat has amazing flavor and creatively prepared, bun fresh and also amazing, and the toppings were unique and...well...you know the drill, amazing! Onion rings were top notch, and the service was friendly and attentive. Seems that London can be a bit hit and miss when you stray from the standards...but GMK is a definite hit, and well worth searching out! Now if I can just find the pic of the burger...or did I eat it too quickly?

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.

We were wandering around Covent Garden and Soho looking for somewhere still serving food. We stumbled into this little place, and they hooked us up! Had some delicious mint lemonade.

But when I finally found it and walked through the doors the huge queue did not scare me. A bunch of my friends kept saying: "this is the best burger in town, you must have it", and I was determined to try it, no matter what. The queue was big but it didn't take a lot of time to get my order, I think the biggest problem is finding a table, if you didn't save one before ordering. But let's talk about food! The burgers are indeed delicious, juicy and yummy. Basically you choose if you want a regular burger, a cheeseburger or a steak burger and add some toppings (like bacon or sauces) you might want with it. Are you a vegetarian? No problem, they have veggie option. Also, they are pretty flexible in changing the order or the ingredients inside the burger (which you may know is not very common in London), so if you want something different or want your burger cooked another way they encourage you to let them know, so your experience will be even better. Come and try, you will not regret it.

Tommi's Burger Joint is back...and I have to say me like it! I'm generally not the one who's always…read morefloating on the wave of the hip places, but given that this joint is in a rather unhip neighbourhood - aka corporately boring Marylebone - I am actually quite happy about this addition. I've been to Tommi's for lunch yesterday; I got there right around noon and that was a good thing as the lunch crowd started to pour in just after me. I ordered the "Deal of the Century", which includes a burger, fries and a drink. Although they have a couple of sauces on sale, I don't think they're necessary as they also offer a wide variety of free condiments, such as various ketchups, mayos, chilli sauce & my absolute favourite...the caramalised onion. (They are that good and I wouldn't be surprised if they started charging for them soon.) Like I said, I like Tommi's Burger Joint - especially for the fact that it's dared to come to a rather bland location. I just hope that they won't get this silly idea to expand their emporium in a Byron style fashion...as soon as I see another Burger Joint popping up, they will have lost me as a costumer. I plea you: stay unique!

Saw several locations before finally stopping in this one, my curiosity piqued by their advertising…read moreof being THE spot to get a "proper burger." Spoiler alert, they are overpriced and need improvement, as do the shakes. The burgers at the pub across the street are probably a better bet, unfortunately. Burger was received as ordered, double-stack. Their house beer cheese is tasty and the beef is flavorful and juicy. However, the patties are poorly formed, largely unseasoned, and small (6oz, hence the double). Mixed feelings on this but a burger shouldn't be domed in the middle nor should it be without basic seasoning unless it really is superior quality. And even then! We also ordered a freakshake, something they're known for. Our server said they were out of multiple ingredients to make it, so we switched to an alcoholic shake (Reeses with a shot of rum, as advertised). We received a thin, icy concoction that didn't taste much like peanut butter, along with a separate shot to be mixed in ourselves, making the consistency even thinner. Oh, and they charged us more by billing separately for the shot. Two thumbs down, zero effort.

Thankfully Byron was still open and able to seat us. My husband and I both had the Byron burger with a beer and my niece indulges in the brownie sundae. The bacon was thick, the cheddar was plentiful and the Byron sauce added a nice layer of flavor but didn't overwhelm the burger. Our waitress was attentive but not hovering and pleasant to have. The food was simple and tasty. Nothing super fancy, but hit the spot at this late hour. Great local chain that reminded me of some of the local chains back home. Simple, good food. No fuss, but grills a good burger.

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.

An absolute must‑visit, especially for anyone needing great GF options.

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
