Only negative side was that they switched the doneness of the meat of my friend and I (on two different burgers...) and that they were both overly cooked in general (a medium which was by far well-done and a medium-rare cooked medium). I would give 3.5 stars.

As the first person to review BOBO social, I'll admit that I would in most cases give a three star…read morerating, but mainly because I think there is definitely potential and really good food. In an attempt not to scare people off from trying this place out, I'm going to go ahead and say 4 stars for now...and here is why..... My work colleagues and I headed over to BOBO Social during it's first lunch seating. Advertising its small plates and innovative burgers, there is also a special to have a takeaway burger and fries for a 10-er, attracting some of the media types in the area who may not be able to break away from their desk and have a sit down lunch. Food: As I wasn't in much of a burger mood, I shared a bunch of small plates with one of my colleagues. These are definitely small plates and probably my biggest disappointment with the meal. Though the servers encourage you to have about 3 plates per person - I would recommend having more than that - though at 8 quid a pop for some of the smaller plates, this may be pushing it for a lunchtime meal. Other spots in the neighborhood with a similar small plate menu leave you feeling much more full at the end of the meal. The food itself was quite good: The steak strips, watermelon, tomato and feta, & Crispy squid among my favourites. I'll definitely look to go back to at least try one of their signature burgers - the peanut butter burger with bacon sounds like it could be a delight. Venue: This is probably the best part of the spot. There is an upstairs with good lighting and a small seating area and also a downstairs to the venue. The downstairs can be rented out for events, private larger bookings or parties, and as an intimate feel with little cave-like seating areas in the back and private bar. I'd definitely encourage a try and to provide the helpful staff with feedback on the meal as they get up and running. This could potentially be a great addition to the Charlotte Street restaurant scene.

Another outstanding burger in London. That makes 3 in a row! Id submit that London should be known…read morefor great burgers, not fish 'n chips. Ordered the Ari Cheese burger with fries. 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

I was expecting it to be hideously busy as there are so many students milling around this area...but there were a few spare tables, and we were seated within a few seconds of arrival. Yay! The burger: - I tried the cheeseburger, with blue cheese (I love that you can choose which cheese you'd like!)...and it was looovely. They gave me a huge chunk of blue cheese, so it started to droop out of the burger in a happy-blue-cheesey-wave.

She listened to us, so our burgers were cooked to perfection, with pink centres and plenty of burger juice dripping out of the bun. Nom. - The brioche bun was soft but managed to withstand all the extra burger drippage. The rest: - This branch has one complete wall of windows and is painted with yellow and white stripes...the effect is very cheerful and bright, especially on sunny days like today. - I loved that they have model cows sort-of-hidden among the light fittings and on the top of mirrors. - The staff were friendly, but also speedy and efficient...perfect for lunch time eating. I still think £8 is a on the pricy side for lunch, so I can't afford to come here very often...but I'll be in a good mood on the days that I do.

We both had the Sunday roast. It arrived sloppy looking, the potatoes were very hot as was the gravy. The meat, veg and popover were room temperature. The meat was so thinly sliced and not very tender. A huge disappointment! It seems like they were just relying on the gravy to make the dish. Service and food very lacking.

I was staying in a hotel by Warren Street and a friend wanted to meetup for steak. Being a lazy bum I was looking for a place near the hotel and was glad to find a Black & Blue branch. Not the best steak I've ever had (I do live in the US after all), but the small sirloin was £16 and came with chips (perfectly fried), house salad (much bigger than I thought and really tasty), and a sauce (choice of 3). All in all, we had a good meal and it satiated her craving for steak. I'll be coming back on the next business trip.

Our plates came with a salad. Two dishes 1 salad. I get that the salad is a garnish but honestly a poor excuse for a salad. The steak was fine. Mediocre but nothing to complain about. The chips that came withy the salad honestly tasted like they came out of a frozen bag. I asked a waitress for the wifi password, she entered it and walked away. My phone said it was unable to join. I would have asked her to re-enter it but I didn't see her again. Once our food was delivered we didn't see anyone again for what felt like atleast 45 minutes, no would you like some more water, or another cocktail....

I ordered the Jersey burger (medium rare) and fries . The Jersey burger is described as Jersey beef, truffle confit, onions, smoked burger sauce, mature cheddar cheese, truffle and Grana Padano chips. I think it was on a seeded bun, but I don't know which one. The burger was super juicy. Medium rare and delicious. London whips up a mean burger. That's it's crown jewel. The fries were a bit thicker for 'chips' but the Parmesan and black truffle really turned something sublime into something extraordinary . The quality of the 8 oz burger meat really made this truly special . Would order again if i lived here. But only on occasion because it's super pricy.

Undoubtedly one of the best burgers I think I have ever had!…read more This is a pretty interesting establishment, as other reviewers have observed, the site of an old pub. The choice of decor is a mix between industrial and old world which makes it a pleasant environment. The staff were very attentive and pleasant which makes a very nice change in Central London. I opted to have their special this month, and being that the 2014 World Cup is on, it was a football themed burger - The Ronaldo. This was one hell of a big feast, there's no need for any side dishes if you have the Ronaldo. The burger comprised of two patties, American cheese, bacon, butter fried onions and crispy onions, all served in one of their brioche buns. The meat was good quality and perfectly cooked to medium; nice and pink in the middle. The toppings were generous and perfectly arranged. It made of a hell of a challenge to eat, there's no way to get a bit out of it, so I did have to do a bit of deconstructing, but that just added to the experience! My partner had a cheeseburger, that she also described as one of the best burgers she had ever had. She said it was perfectly cooked and extremely tasty. She added fries which were golden, fresh and very tasty. All in all, if you're looking for a decent hamburger in London, you have to stop off at Byron, it's excellent quality food, pleasantly served and very very tasty!

Occupying the site of an old pub (The Black Horse), Byron Proper Hamburgers dishes out just that:…read morehamburgers done properly and without a hint of pretension. In fact, the burger I ate one evening--after pints at the pub down the road--was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Although a big and growing chain in England, quality of ingredients is a top priority. They source their beef from Scotland and grind daily, then cook to a nice, pink medium doneness. The perfectly cooked burger is placed on a soft bun, with a minimum of condiments. I ordered the "Chilli", which came with green chilli, American cheese, shredded iceberg and chipotle mayonnaise. For sides, you can get traditional French fries, UK-style chips, onion rings, cole slaw or macaroni and cheese. A nice selection of UK craft beers is available to wash down the excellent, satisfying burger. If you're an American staying in London, and are longing for a taste of home, Byron won't disappoint.

When I saw "Ultimate", I had a really high expectation. It was going to be served by the St. Pauli…read moreGirl. Naked. And it would have sparklers on the plate. And the plate would be made of gold. So as you can imagine, it wasn't quite like that. It was a decent burger (I was sort of surprised not to be asked how I wanted it cooked) that was dressed properly with lettuce (what we Americans call Bibb lettuce, I'm not sure how it's called here) and a tomato that was proper and red without core. And a good thick mushroom with bleu cheese that had melted in the heat. There is no way this burger's being picked up and eaten, but I'll admit that I did at least try to take one bite before falling back to a knife and fork. Chips were good and hot, some were a little overdone and some were a little underdone. It seemed like I might have gotten them when the first basket had run low? I wasn't in the mood for a beer - choices were Peroni or Budweiser - so I asked for a large glass of tap water. I got a "low ball" glass that wasn't refilled. All told, a decent eating experience and I would return. But was it "Ultimate"? Not quite.

I'll be honest, I stepped into Ultimate Burger hoping to step out with a negative review in mind…read more For some reason, I've found myself frequenting American-style burger joints in London, and it's gotten to the point where I've started rooting for the little guy as opposed to the chains. For a stateside equivalent, I saw Ultimate as a Red Robin, and while Red Robin makes some great burgers, I'd much prefer a local place. Off the bat it was a mixed bag. While the selection was impressive in terms of breadth and uniqueness and the prices reasonable, service was quite slow even though it wasn't overly crowded. However, when the food arrived all notions of a negative review went right out the window. Primarily, my Smokey Mountain Barbeque Burger was absolutely massive, and I soon realized (as had those around me) that at Ultimate Burger a fork and knife are key. The ingredients used appeared as though they were quite fresh and the burger was cooked just right. One thing I will say is that the burger itself wasn't overly flavourful, but the various compliments made it enjoyable. Additionally, while only a coin over a pound each, my sides of chips and chili con carne were a bit on the mediocre end of the scale. All in all, I stepped out of Ultimate Burger having eaten an absolutely massive burger, two sides, and 500ml of bottled water for under £15, and while it doesn't come close to South Kensington's Byron, who still wear the crown of Best Burger in London, Ultimate was a good experience. So if you're in the area and absolutely must have a burger, Ultimate Burger is a great value and a good experience. However, the strip of Tottenham Court Road surrounding the Warren Street Station is packed with amazing dining options of all cuisine's, so strongly consider those before resorting to a chain.
