Heard. Burger Soho

Visited on opening day and had the chance to try both the Heard Burger and The Boring Burger — and honestly, they’re both a must-try. Great value for money, full of flavour, and you can tell they’ve really elevated the classic burger experience. Super juicy, layered with surprising elements that make each bite exciting. The venue itself is chic and sleek — the kind of place where you might end up staying longer just to enjoy a local beer or glass of wine. The milkshake was okay, though I personally would’ve liked it a bit colder and with a wider straw. Service-wise, it was the team’s first day. The lady serving us did her best, though a bit more passion in presenting the menu would have made the experience smoother. Still, it’s understandable — knowledge and excitement about food comes with time and training. We even spotted the chef, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere. Bonus points: I could enjoy my burger with a knife and fork — no messy fingers! Looking forward to going back for the Truffle Shuffle next time. 🍔✨

The photos do not do this burger justice - but I felt silly taking a picture so I rushed each one. This is a phenomenal burger. I’m on the hunt for the best burger in Britain and so I ordered the basic “boring burger” to keep comparisons fair (all burgers are cheese burgers). This was really not boring. The quality of the meat is exceptional. The heard burger sauce is superb. Heard use cheddar which I think is daring because whilst I’m not a big fan of American burger cheese - it does work well in a burger. I find Cheddar can sometimes overwhelm things and take away from the flavour of the meat. But the cheddar here compliments the meat and onion perfectly. I tried Bleecker the day before and found it so greasy. Not juicy. Greasy. Oil poured out of it. My friends said the same. In contrast, this burger was juicy but did not drip all over the place. Meat was slightly pink in the middle, bun held out and only at the end started to show some soggy signs. Exactly how it should be. The balance here was just right. For me. Best burger in London I have tried as of right now. I only have dumbo and black bear left to try. I will be back and I’ll be going for the “truffle shuffle” and “smoke stack” which are more signature. Staff were incredibly nice and I owe a tip! Thank you.

Tried Heard Burger, as I’d heard really good things about this new Burger restaurant. As you’d expect a modern stylish interior, with an open kitchen area, as you walk in. Limited seating space upstairs and room for around ten to twelve people downstairs. Ordered the banana and caramel milkshake, which was tasty, but with a slightly salty taste. Smashed Truffle burger and regular fries. Burger was tasty, but I could nearly taste any truffle. Fries were way too salty, which everyone else in my group agreed on. Will I go back again? Maybe in a few months time, when it’s had a chance to “bed in”

I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about the burger I had here a few days ago. It was incredibly juicy, flavourful, and easily one of the best I've had in London recently. The service was equally impressive: our food arrived quickly, and the staff was very accommodating when we asked to change our table. While the chocolate pretzel smoothie wasn't my favourite, and I personally prefer a thinner, crunchier fry, the standout quality of that burger makes this place an essential visit.

Went here on a Friday evening to take advantage of their Soft Launch offer - 50% off food. I got there a couple of minute shy of our 7pm reservation. Had to wait a couple of minutes for the host to acknowledge me and invite me in, as she was setting up another table. Once I confirmed my reservation, she showed me to a table downstairs and brought 2 menus each - one for food, one for drinks. The stairs were a bit slippery from wet shoes, as it was pouring outside. The staff seemed attentive, however quite new to the job, judging by their slow movements at times. Once my wife joined, it took 5-10 minutes for the host to come and take our order. We first went for 2 burgers: the smoke stack and the heard, both with heard fries. For drinks, we got a can of Sprite and one of Fanta. The order came within 10 minutes. Burgers were delicious, however on the small side. Fries were very nice and fresh, but again, on the small side. We also asked for ketchup and mayo for each of us, but the host brought 1 cup of ketchup for my wife and 1 cup of mayo for me, which was a bit weird. We thoroughly enjoyed both burgers and as we were taking advantage of the offer mentioned above, we decided to go for another burger for myself and a portion of fries for my wife. I must mention that during our dinner, we did not receive a check-back, however the table next to us did. Normally, if that happens, I ask for the service charge to be taken off, as that, in my view, is the minimum for the extra charge to be justified. This time, I didn't notice it was included and mistakenly paid it. The interior is nicely decorated. The toilets, however, are quite small. I went to go wash my hands and I struggled to open/close the door, as it opens to the inside of the toilet. It was nice to have a good burger and visit a new place, however I don't think we'd come back, purely because of the price. Most burgers cost around £15 and they don't come with chips. Those are an extra £6. So £21 for a burger. I understand the place is the idea of a Michelin chef, but I cannot say I was blown away by anything. Our bill, with the 50% discount was £39. So a regular bill for 3 burgers, fries and 2 soft drinks would be £78-80. I'm sorry, but I cannot justify spending that much for 3 burgers and fries. I wish them good luck and success.

Absolutely smashing the smash burger! I've had a lot of smashburgers but this one (The Heard) knocks it out of the park! Incredibly crispy edges combined with tasty toppings and a delicious bun. Every bite was delicious! Also ordered The Soho Burger. This one was not a smashed patty but it came with a little peppercorn dipping sauce. Not only was it fun to eat, but it was quite reminiscent of a peppercorn steak because the burger patty itself was quite meaty and juicy. I appreciate it that the fries were crispy and served piping hot. The two options for the dipping sauces were also really good and with the Heard one being slightly more tangy and the truffle one being more of a mayo. Staff is quite attentive and when I asked for a recommendation our server's eyes lit up! You could tell there was a lot of genuine love for the food and actual engagement with the diners. The venue itself is clean with a couple of small bathrooms downstairs. What I really appreciated about the bathroom was the quality of the toilet paper. This might seem like such a small detail, but I feel like it's such an important one and I appreciate that they picked a thicker ply. When proprietors take attention and care into every detail including the tiny ones. That's how you know that they are good.

Our food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere with beautiful décor. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Thank you all for a great lunch! 🍔🫶🏻 We ordered the Smoke Stack, Boring Burger, Heard Fries with cheese and pickles, and the Heard Sauce, everything was amazing!

I visited the Soho branch and had the Heard Burger, it was a proper smash burger, perfectly crispy on the edges and packed with flavour. The patty was juicy, the bun soft, and everything just worked so well together. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, with a lovely, friendly vibe throughout. The staff were welcoming and attentive, which made the whole experience even nicer. Great food, great people – definitely a go-to spot for a burger in Soho.
