Written by the company

It’s been over 10 years and we’d like to think we’re now pretty good at burgers and chips. It’s been a bit of a blur, a lot of hard work, but that’s been half the fun. Good enough just isn’t good enough here. We don’t mean to brag but we’re all about top quality beef, the best potatoes and good times. Don’t just take our word for it though, we’ll let our food and people do the talking. After all, we’re Just Being Honest… From day one, we wanted to make the best British burgers on any menu, anywhere. So we spent time getting to know the best butchers in London. And we’re butchers too. We’ve opened our own butchery so we can make the burgers we’d always dreamed of. Our way. From scratch. Our beef comes from British native breed cows farmed in Great Britain & Northern Ireland. They’re grass-fed and well looked after with space to roam in the fields during spring, summer and autumn and only see a barn when it’s too cold outside during winter. We’ve also got our own butchery, making our burgers from scratch every single day.

Dis-Honest Burgers!

We went to Honest Burgers Kingston on Thames on Saturday as a family of 10 with 4 kids. We had booked the table and were received well. However when we came to paying for the meals we were charged £7.90 for the kids meals for all for kids!. On the website or on their advertisements it was printed £1 for kids meals. We spoke to the Manager and she told us that this was only until 7 pm. Nowhere was that mentioned. We were very disappointed with the Dishonest Service we received

Reply from Honest Burgers

Dear Barakat,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sincerely sorry to hear about your experience at our Kingston restaurant this past Saturday.

You are absolutely correct regarding our Kids for £1 promotion. Our official terms and conditions state that this offer is available any day and any time from Monday, 20 July, until the close of business on Monday, 31 August.

While our internal guidelines do instruct teams to switch over certain external marketing materials—such as window posters and A-boards - at 7:00 PM to focus on other initiatives, this was purely for advertising purposes and was never intended to limit the availability of the offer for our guests. It appears our team and the manager on duty unfortunately confused the marketing switchover time with the offer's validity.

We pride ourselves on being "Honest," and we clearly failed to live up to that name during your visit. We would like to arrange a refund for the overcharged amount for the four kids' meals. Based on your review, you were charged £7.90 per meal instead of the promotional £1, and we will rectify this immediately.

We hope to have the chance to welcome your family back soon for a much better experience.
Best regards,

Joe

I have been going to Honest burguer for…

I have been going to Honest burguer for many years, and usually enjoy it very much
But i guess it depends on the branch.
Yesterday I went to the one in Oxford circus , and left very dissapointed !
‘Frozen fries ‘ !?!? Horrible!
Never ever had frozen fries before in any Honest Burguer ,
I Will be avoiding the Oxford Circus branch from now on.
Really bad !!!!!

Portabello Road

Yesterday 14 of us , from a disability charity Always Bee You went for lunch in the portabello road branch. What we experienced from from the staff Natalie and Sarah was wonderful, they took their time with our folks , were super helpful and also used first names when talking with our folks.
These small acts of kindness are so meaningful, and we like to thank you ladies for all your help, patience and love, all the guys and girls really enjoyed your food.

Covent Garden great good rubbish service!

I went to the Covent Garden one I requested to sit outside as it was a sunny day but was told it would be better for me to sit inside! Then the explanation of the menu by the guy was fine, then a woman came up who I told we were ready to order and then went through a lengthy and consisting ordering process. Despite telling her no meat I’m a veggie the dirty fries came with meat on them, when I reminded her of this she said she would swap them out and then charges me for both! Food was delicious - paneer burger with the curry mayo gorge and the chips. Would never be back or recommend though. Service was more Mac Donald’s rather than Ramsey.

Excellent - well worth a visit!

We regularly eat at the Portobello Road branch of Honest Burgers, and the service is consistently excellent. Neviyu and Abbey are fantastic ambassadors for the brand-they're always welcoming, friendly, and remain calm, professional, and polite, even during the busiest and most stressful times.

Their outstanding customer service makes every visit enjoyable, and it's one of the main reasons we keep coming back. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone looking for great burgers and exceptional service.

COELIACS BEWARE!

Went to the Old Street branch (Baldwin Street, London).
I'm a Coeliac, so i told them and checked again once the food turned up that it was gluten free and was told that it was. Having eaten my burger and fries, I then had to run to the toilet 3 times!! Luckily I had painkillers with me to help with the pain. Previously I have been to other Honest Burgers restaurants and been fine. This one was a dreadful visit, though the people serving were pleasant. If you are a Coeliac...don't risk it!!

Awful chips no rosemary salt!

5 of us went to Honest Burger Covent Garden today. Burgers were lovely but the chips looked like they’d sat out for quite a while. Dry and cold. There was no rosemary salt on any of our chips. Last time we went to Honest Burger it was lovely. So disappointed this time.

So I’ve had a reply from Honest Burgers. So fries cost £4.20 and there 5 of us. None of us had the Rosemary salt and all weren’t nice. I’ve had a voucher for £10. Fries totalled £21 if bought on their own. I don’t think this is good enough

Not honest but halal

When honest burgers first started serving on uber around a couple of years ago I used to order from them as it was an alternative to halal selling outlets but they started selling halal yet call call it honest beef?! Why is one religion’s approved slaughter being imposed on others who are against this type of ritual slaughter which also causes suffering by slower death?!

Honest Burger Take Away got worse

I have been a customer of Honest Burger for many years but in the last 6 months the quality of the take away burgers has been very bad. I order a blue cheese burger and a vegan burger and a smashed cheese burger. The meat was burnt on the outside and dry and chewy. The bread tasted hard and dry. out of the 3 burgers none tasted good.

Camden

Camden. One gluten intolerant and one imniosuppressed customer. Ordered onion rings, fried chicken burger with GF bun (hard and burnt) and the house burger (well done) Fries were like they had been reheated, shrivelled cold and not seasoned. Burger was ordered well done, but left blood on the plate and bun. Left 3/4 but the manager wiped our bill as we couldn't eat it. Guy on table next to us ordered no onions as he had an allergy. Burger came out, had onions in! He'd eaten half and was shouting he was going to be sick now! Horrible experience. Will not return. Thankfully the lady who wiped our bill was very understanding.

Came to the restaurant the other day…

Came to the restaurant the other day with a friend and was very unhappy with the service received and racist comments made towards us by the front of house girl with glasses and blue eye glass chains, not sure if she was a manager or not but my friend wasn’t sure on what to order so we needed some more time before ordering and when the girl came back the 3rd time she called my friend a weird N***A just because he wasn’t sure on what to order we could see she was getting frustrated because of how busy the place was but that’s no excuse for my friend to recieve that kind of abuse, a message to all if you see that girl then do not let her serve you

Amazing smashed fresh burgers (and they…

Amazing smashed fresh burgers (and they are fresh, you can tell) at a great price considering its a Resturant in London. A sit down service meal and drink for just over 20 pounds, cant get much better. The burgers are so so tasty with great fillings and melt in your mouth taste and great flavour. I note some reviews complain of raw, you do get a choice how you want them cooked, and medium with a bit of pink middle was fine for us. The Rosemary salted fries are sublime original and the best chips we have had. The service can appear slow, but when the resturant is full at peak times, what do you expect?, would you rather go somewhere no one is as thats not a good recommendation is it. From what we saw the staff were all working incrediably hard and professional to get the food to your table as quick as possible, and I would not say the wait was any longer than any other busy resturant we have visited in London. Overall excellent service, excellent staff, excellent price, excellent food . We visited Honest Burgers in South Bank.

HONEST BURGERS WESTFIELD FIRST DAY OPENING

I was told by Honest burgers staff that they were doing free meals for the whole day since it’s their first day opening. After i did my bits, I went there and found it almost empty at peak time (15:00). The man I assume was the manager, saw me walk and quickly rushed to the front whilst I was being served by a host. He asked me how he can help and I said I was told there was freebies for the day. He said no that was for limited time. I said this is what i was told by staff. He simply shook his head and said no. After sometime, I saw someone coming out and asked them if it was free and she said yes but she described the food as ‘mediocre’
