    As we entered, we were greeted nicely and given options for where we preferred to sit. We decided…read moreon downstairs and understood the air conditioning was better done there. The server was pleasant and took our order within a few minutes. The chicken wings were tiny, but tasty and well prepared. (Never seen chicken wings that small). They went well with a side salad -- which was delicious. The salad was composed of fresh lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, cucumber, and celery with their special dressing. We also tried the buffalo chicken sandwich with the sauce on the side and another salad. It was the best fried chicken breast sandwich I've ever eaten. The mint lemonade is sweet and refreshing. They tack on 10% service charge which we were okay with leaving it on the bill in this case. We would like to return to try a burger --which looked scrumptious, by the way.

It was a small place, maybe 5-6 tables, plus a small window counter inside, and a couple table outside. The Server was super helpful and sweet. (Oh! If you see "Rocket" listed on the burgers, it's another name for Arugula. I taught her that while there lol!) Anywho, the burger was KILLER!! Amazingly good. And the Onion Rings were some of the best I've ever had! This place is a great stop for the burger lover. A definite place to add to Your casual to do list in London.

    I was craving a burger. I was told by the locals to come here…read more I was hungry after hours of walking to all of the top tourist spots in the area. I need to give my feet a break and fill my belly. I got a basic burger, it was juicy and perfectly cooked. The sesame bun was soft and billowy and pure carby goodness. It had some lovely cheese and fantastic house sauce that made it even better.

    After months of walking by these burger joints, I was finally hungry enough- and in the area- to…read moretry one. 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.

    Bleecker's Cheeseburger 10/10 - National Burger of the Year 2024…read more I'd heard Bleecker's is the burger spot in London, so of course, I had to give it a try - and let's just say, it did not disappoint. Bleecker's cheeseburger was simple yet completely mind-blowing. Normally, I find that great burgers rely on toppings to really bring the flavor, but this one? Just a plain cheeseburger, no extras, and it was truly one of the best burgers I've ever had. The beef itself was so flavorful and juicy, with the cheese melting perfectly over it - I was shocked at how good it was without all the frills. My friend tried their Simplicity burger, which is vegan, and it was honestly just as impressive. I'm usually not the biggest fan of vegan burgers (I've had a few misses in the past), but this one tasted almost identical to a classic beef burger. Genuinely a pleasant surprise! We went around 11 pm on a weekday, and the line was still out the door - that says it all about how popular Bleecker's is. The service was awesome, too. Shoutout to Arjun, the manager, who helped us figure out what to order and made sure our experience was top-notch. If you're in London and haven't tried Bleecker's yet, it's worth the hype.

That would have been a really good addition. The bun was light and soft and the proportions were perfect. Oh, the patty was also too salty for my taste. Between the grease and salt, it felt like a death bomb but tasted good. Overall, good burger.

I walked in thinking they had a rice burger for it to be a bao burger. Decor and everything was fun looks to appeal to a younger crowd spanning two floors of fun. Menu had a mix of rice dishes, burgers, etc. I got the original bao burger and that burger was so freaking juicy and delicious. I don't order burgers much but I would order three of those. The bao bun texture didn't take anything away from the meal and really complimented all the flavors in the burger. They were pretty much out of all their cocktails and fun drinks but they all looked so unique and cool. It was just me in the restaurant so obviously everything was pretty quick but the server was friendly. This spot is Halal friendly as well.
