buster's

Placed just off Brixton's bustling high street sits buster's, a minimalist, slick looking burger bar. I really like the design of the bar style seating along the full length glass panes looking out into Brixton. I went on a wednesday at 6pm and was the only one in the bar while I ordered and was waiting for my food, so given it was quiet, it was a shame that the table area was a bit dirty. The man who served me was very nice, and my food was prepared fresh, and taking just over 5 minutes for me to get my food. The music playing created a nice atmosphere, and a Lord Huron song played during my wait, which was a nice touch as Lord Huron were playing at the o2 Academy that night, and when I passed at 11pm (from leaving the concert) more Lord Huron was playing, but I would say the music was a bit loud when I was waiting inside. I had my food to takeaway, and the greaseproof paper used to wrap the burger was really good quality. I had a bacon cheeseburger, french fries, and a can of tango, which cost £18, which felt a bit expensive. The bun was a bit too soft, but that's the nature of brioche buns, the meat tasted nice but was a bit tough, but definitely not overcooked, so might be down to the cut of beef used. The bacon and cheese were nice, but the highlight was the green peppercorn dijonnaise on the burger base, it was delicious, adding a really nice umami and peppery flavour to the burger. The fries were a good portion, excellently seasoned and really crispy. I will caveat my review by saying that halfway through my meal I was rushed to finish it, as I wasn't allowed to eat in the queue of the gig I went to, so the detail on some things won't be as embellished as I'd like. Overall a tasty burger and fries, a major improvement of most fast food beef burgers, with my rating of 3/5 probably being a bit harsh, if I could I'd give 3.5/5, but quite expensive for what it is. If you're looking for a quick burger in Brixton and have money to spare, I'd go to buster's, but if you want to treat yourself to a nice burger (given the higher price point) I'd go to Black Bear.

Pretty pissed off right now. I just paid £11 for Buster Burger at the restaurant. Got home, took a bite and realised that’s not what I got. Buster Burger as per their menu comes with: buster sauce, cheese, onion & pickles. I got none of that!

Decent burger, but pretty expensive for what it is. The burger and chips were £15 total. I got a glass of wine for £7, which was nice but tiny. They had literally no vegetarian options other than the chips, but my vegetarian friend brought in food from somewhere else and they didn't mind that. Anyway the burger and chips were good, and we sat down outside which was nice. I'd recommend this place if you just want to eat something quickly but you're not drunk enough for mcdonald's lol

I went there very early, at around 12.30-12.45 pm, therefore the place was empty, as it probably opens at around that time. I had the Buster burger and the dirty fries. My friend opted for the chicken burger and classic fries. My Buster burger was very good, so were the dirty fries. I did not taste the chicken burger but my friend ate it with gusto. As it was so early there was just 1 staff on duty, the cook who made the 2 burgers, both of them carefully prepared and respectfully cooked to perfection. I suspect the place will be buzzing during lunchtime and dinner, but I could not rate the atmosphere because it was just the 2 of us. I will definitely go back to try the bacon cheeseburger. Thank you

Definitely a bit expensive but super tasty. Actual peppercorns in the burger popped like bubble tea, creating an explosion of flavour at each bite. Also the guy gave me a free drink - How nice!

You can tell that these guys are talented chefs. This is elevated casual dining, and one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Thick wagyu beef burgers, perfectly cooked, with melted cheese and a peppercorn dijonnaise. Make sure to get the cheese dipping sauce too 💪🏻

Great new spot - tried both the buster and hamburger, both slapped but Buster Burger took the crown. Also shared a bottle of Pet Nat wine which paired perf with the burger. Tommy the owner came and had a chat with us, great restaurant will be coming here plenty more!

Cool cosy burger bar! Burgers are amazing, so juicy. Great choice of drinks, Pet nat and the picante was divine.
