The Magnetic Zeros had it right with the lyrics:- Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you La la la la Take me home Mama, I'm coming home Indeed nowadays home is a small corner of London that is Highbury/Holloway, an area that I'm convinced is going through a real revolution. From cute little sushi places to places that specialise in sous-vide chicken (Chicks on Fire FTW!) to arts and crafts to couture latex there are huge changes. Homeburger is the latest of these. This is their seminal outlet and my have they done well. The shop itself has the level of detail that one would expect from a Soho hipster permanent popup with custom wallpaper, great decor and wonderfully cute custom boxes. Remember this is a takeaway or delivery place only; you really do have to be home to eat. The food, if the soft opening is anything to go by, has a very bright future. Before we even get to the burgers lets start with the sides. The mac n cheese was heart cloggingly wonderful with plenty of hot sticky cheese that lasted a couple of days (Indeed I'm just finishing it off now). The chocolate peanut butter pie had peanut butter mousse, chocolate mousse, cornflakes & a golden syrup crust. Yes it was as good at it sounds, we were just lucky that it is best served cold so we could have it later. This seriously good treat must be tried. The triple cooked slightly burnt (in a good way) unpeeled chips were great if just a little too salted. A nice touch was the included ketchup and BBQ sauce (though this was a little too sweet for me). Now for the burgers. These were EPIC. They blew the local Five Guys and Byron out of the water and, dare I say it, better than Honest Burger while being at least on a par with Patty and Bun. They all have big thick medium rare patties in a toasted brioche bun and the special 'homesauce'. We went for the 'Cheese Homeburger' which had cheddar & American cheese with fried onion relish, and the BBQ Beach Hut which was topped off with slow cooked BBQ beef brisket, coleslaw and pickled red onions. The prices were competitive with Byron at £8 to £12 for a burger but without the choice of eating it there. Luckily the quality makes it worth it and really does make home something to look forward to. As you can see I'm a very spoilt local fan. read more

I was recommended this place for its veggie burger from a person who's not actually vegetarian! I figured that was worth checking out, and since I was in the area for work I popped by to grab a burger. Despite the fairly high-level branding and style, it is a take-away and delivery place only and their strong packaging definitely reflects that. As you can see in the pics, the burgers are boxed incredibly well in vented, complicated, but elegantly put together heavy cardboard. Now the burger itself has a smoky flavour which immediately made me realise why my omnivorous friend liked it. The bread was soft and the burger texture was great with mushrooms and lentils/quinoa. I thought the portion was huge and it kept me going for 2 meals which is about right I think, for a £8 take-away price. All in all, you can see the care that has gone into this place and I thoroughly recommend it! read more

Homeburger - Cute fold-down seats to wait on! - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

In complete agreement with Samir S on his review here. You may groan at yet another burger place on the scene but this place has it down and even better it's not far from where I live. The concept is different here. 'Homeburger' is a burger delivery joint rather than a sit down burger restaurant. In fact I don't think you can sit down here, just take away. Inside, they have a cool interior and just has the feel of somewhere that is well thought out and just humming along perfectly despite it being pretty new. You can order online from their well designed and easy to use website or phone your order in. They deliver or u pick up. Next: the packaging. The packaging designs that they have come up with are worthy of a spot in the Design Museum. Quite amazing boxes and cardboard engineering cleverly designed to cradle and protect your burger and it's contents as well as sides on it's delivery to you. Got to be the most advanced and futuristic burger packaging ever. Finally the food: Of course, it's all about the burger itself. Previously my mark of excellence was set by Honest Burger. I think Homeburger is at least as good and probably better. The bun is toasted brioche perfection and a bit more substantial than other places so it doesn't disintegrate. The burger was perfect. Medium cooked, juicy, flavoursome as good as it can be. Toppings of bacon and American cheese also top marks. Ditto for the relish, onions, tomato, lettuce and sauce. Our group shared a dessert, sorry 'pie scraper' of PB&J pie. Just perfect and thankfully not too heavy and sweet. Looking forward to my next Homeburger! read more

Brilliant burgers! Do note though you can't eat in - only take-away or home delivery. Though don't let that stop you thinking it's a bad burger - quite the opposite. I had a cheese burger and chips. In Islington, chips are getting thinner (which is meant to be due to Islington's council's push for healthier eating). Anyway, Homburger's chips were TRIPLE cooked in greatness! :-) The burger was worth the 40 minute wait. There branding is also fun and enjoyable - it made the entire experience a lot of fun and rememberable . So, if you're at home and want a restaurant quality burger, ring and called Homeburger. read more

AMAZING! I ordered from these guys a few weeks back with my housemate and boyfriend, they are both meat eaters I'm veggie. Firstly, online ordering was easy peasy, user friendly website, you can also order on the phone. Packaging was really on point, they have branded and designed well, in terms of practicality it is perfect no squished burgers or sloppy sides and fries falling out of packaging. The taste: It was amazing as a veggie I have quite a lot of options with burgers, but lot's of times unless there is enough sauce veggie burgers can be dry, this the Greenhouse burger was anything but, it was moist, full of flavour and didn't need loads of sauce, not that the sauces/condiments were amazing in and of themselves. Sadly the night we ordered they didn't have the Fried Chicken Shack (chicken burger) on the menu (it was only a few weeks after opening) so my housemate had to choose something else. The sides, the triple cooked chips were good, I honestly don't have a massive thing about fancy chips or fries, the coleslaw again was really good, it was fresh and the vegetable were crunchy (not like soggy supermarket coleslaw). The BEST side by far was the onion shards, not massively dissimilar to onion rings but SO much better, they were salty, crunchy, onion-y deliciousness. This time around we didn't order desserts but that just means we have to order again sometime. In terms of delivery they took about 40mins - 50mins well within standard Saturday night takeaway/delivery times, we actually had the MD deliver our food (seeing what it was like for his delivery guys I guess), he was really nice, super polite, cannot fault the service there. I hope they introduce more veggie options, I have heard they are trying to get an alcohol licence so it would be nice if they served some beers/cider. Overall DELICIOUS. read more

I'm undecided on whether it's a good thing that I can now have burgers delivered to my door. On the one hand: BURGERS DELIVERED TO MY DOOR. On the other: this can only be bad for my waistline and my wallet. It doesn't help that these are actually really great burgers. I had the cheeseburger and bacon and, despite some topping overflow, it was a well-cooked and well-seasoned burger. My fried also loved her veggie burger. Sides were good - I loved the seasoning on the fries a lot but the onion shards were the standout. These far surpassed their close cousin the onion ring - tasty and crispy, these were the thing I'm remembering from this meal. They didn't have the fried chicken burger when we ordered which was disappointing but mainly just an excuse to order again. Adorable packaging, good food and it DELIVERS BURGERS TO YOUR DOOR. All in all, will definitely order again. read more

For all your burger takeaway cravings! This place get five stars for the design, creativity, freshness and service! Try the bacon bungalow cheese with fries and an extra tub of homesauce which is delicious! Not only the food is fresh and tasty, but the guys were very nice and quick to accommodate my needs, even when i changed my order to a well done burger (after they already cooked it) so they were more than happy to make me a new one which I appreciate very much! You will not be disappointed by the quality and the service. ;) read more

I have tried Hamburger on two occasions, both were delivered via Deliveroo. First Occasion: We ordered the Fried Chicken Shack, Chilli Cheese Condo, Home Fries and Onion Shards. Because their menu doesn't say, and it's a sandwich, I assumed that the chicken was white meat. I was very wrong in my assumption, and because I don't like dark meat, was left without much to eat. It's a shame that they don't mention this on their menu, and also a shame for me that it isn't in white meat, because I can imagine I'd like it very much. The fries were delicious - freshly cooked, crispy outside and soft inside. Lovely. The onion shards were also really, really nice. Really crispy and the batter was perfect. Chris F wasn't keen on the mustard on his burger, but it was at least listed on the menu, but did really like the other components very much. Second Occassion: We ordered the Home Fries, Mac Shack and Cheese, Onion Shards and Chilli Cheese Condo. I called them since Deliveroo doesn't have a place for notes on orders, and requested that the burger didn't have mustard. He adored the burger without it. Unfortunately, this place really loves their mustard, and put an absolutely insane amount into the mac and cheese. I've really never heard of such a thing, but again, I couldn't eat it. If you really like mustard, then please, go for it. I was still happy with the other items, but unfortunately, the fries had very clearly been cooked long before we ordered them and weren't the same as the first experience, and the onion shards were burnt. Again, not the same experience. I was really disheartened by the whole second experience. They go out of their way to package their food so that it stays as fresh as possible, but then give us old and burnt product. Chris was very happy with his burger, but I'm not real sure that we'd eat at Homeburger again without some assurances that we would face the same low standard of quality. My dislike of mustard and dark chicken meat, really isn't their fault, though I wish that there would be a white meat option, and that isn't why I've given them two stars. The lack of menu descriptions showing these things lost a star, and the old fries and burnt onion shards lost them one. **** I have decided to increase their star rating by one, as I did reach out to them to express my concerns, and their level of customer service has far exceeded that of other local establishments. The experience was apologised for, and I will give them another go, down the road a few months, and will hopefully be adding more stars, and a better review. **** read more

Shocking service. Food hadn't arrived 30 minutes after the time indicated. When I phoned to query the order I was given no explanation before the person hung up on me. When I phoned back I had to two people five times to cancel the order and issue a refund as I needed to leave the house. Again I was spoken to rudely and had no explanation as to why the food was (by this point) so late. DO NOT USE. read more

I got food poisoning from eating their burgers and was hospitalized! I had written them a feedback by email and they didn't even get back to me. What a bad, bad business. read more

Everything about homeburger is on point. From the design of their packaging, menu and store, to - of course - the food. More veggie and vegan options wouldn't go amiss, but they're so new and already a firm favourite. Would highly recommend - and try the coleslaw! read more

My burger took 1.5 hrs to arrive - even though the email eta I received said 45 mins! When I finally received my order, the food was stone cold. So disappointed. I will definitely not be ordering from here again ! read more

I'm just going to copy what I left in their feedback section: "I have just had a Bacon Duplex with Cheese and Home Fries, ordered tonight 12th August 2016. Wow!!! I admit that your prices gave me 2nd thoughts about ordering from you - after all, more than £15 is a hell of a lot for a bacon cheeseburger and fries... But I am so glad I did. The burger itself was perfectly cooked, the size and deliciousness justified the price, and the home fries were probably the best chips I've ever eaten! I'm just heading off to Yelp to see if I can leave a review for you. I will definitely be using you and recommending you in the future. Just totally lovely!!" It was really, very, totally delicious, arrived well within time, the delivery guy was highly polite and lovely, and I'd gladly spend ~£15-£20 with them again! read more

Ugh, foul. I ordered the fried chicken shack, as well as the spicy chicken wings. The quality of the chicken is very poor - full of sinew and fat. The fries are all right - they taste like standard oven chips, nothing special. I'm not going to order from here again. read more

Brilliant burger and chips :) loved it, also great packaging I must say! Rung up 15 min before and all was ready by the time we got there, walked over to the nearby park and enjoyed the awesome burger on the green, yummmmmiiieeee read more

Tried this place last night and i have to say it was a damn good burger. It may be a tad bit on the expensive side for burger and fries but the quality of the burger was really good full of flavour, the smokey bacon really came through, the bun was nice, everything complemented the other elements very well. read more

Absolutely the best burger ever, the juiciest the tastiest and the chips are to die for. Been looking for this for 50 years. Must try. And the box is a design classic, it keeps the burger together and let's is breathe naturally. All together a winer. Keep up the good work!! read more

Brilliant. There is a danger I am going to get very fat now I've discovered this place! Excellent gourmet burgers, including a delicious veggo one. The packaging works - nothing was soggy when it was arrived. I'm never leaving home for a burger again. read more
