Honest Burgers Holborn

100% local products, everything is homemade with passion and love. Rosemary chips are served in abundance as well as burgers which are the perfect size to make your stomach feel full but not tired. The passion and kindness of the staff, especially the owner, makes this experience recommendable and pleasent. Can't wait to be back in London to be back here for a burger.

We stopped in for an early lunch before a show and had a great experience. I ordered the smashed single, which was excellent—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The rosemary chips deserve a special mention; they’re crispy, herby, and absolutely addictive. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was super friendly, attentive, and efficient, which made the whole visit relaxed and enjoyable even though we were on a schedule. Honest Burgers is a great choice for a casual meal with top-quality food and service—I’d happily come back again. By the time we left, the place was filling up so plan accordingly!

Have a great time with colleagues in here. Really good quality of their smashed burgers, I ordered fried chicken burger as usual. Nice services and kind staffs, will visit again.

Delicious! The bacon gravy side is to die for. Buffalo chicken burger is great and so is the beef double smashed patty. Onion rings are up there with the nicest I’ve ever tasted and the chips are really authentic and flavoursome. Service was friendly, reasonably priced for London. Brooklyn brewery pilsner was a lovely pint on draft too.

Great food, awesome festive burgers and fries like my grandma did. The atmosphere is fine. Considering we're in the middle of london, the prices are fair.

Went here at lunch to try the newer smash burgers. Everything I had was great - the smash burger tastes reminiscent of old school McDonald's, but elevated. The chicken strips I had ordered on a whim, and turns out they're really good! Service was great here too; helpful and fast, despite being a solo diner. The reason for knocking off one star is I feel the smash burger for the size is a couple of pounds(£) over what it's worth. The double smash with a side, at the price of the single with a side (£9), would be worth it.

I visited Honest Burgers with three friends for our first meal in London. We ordered 4 burgers, 4 drinks, and a large portion of onion rings — the food was great, but when I checked the bill, I was shocked to see a 20% service charge added. From what I know — and even according to the owner’s responses to other reviews — most Honest Burgers in the UK charge around 10%. Seeing a 20% charge made me feel very uncomfortable, as if we were treated unfairly just because we’re Asian. During the rest of our stay, we visited places like Dishoom and Bancone, and none of them charged more than 12.5% service. It’s disappointing that what should have been a pleasant first meal in London turned into such a negative experience. I’ll definitely warn my friends never to visit this location when they come to London

We were very satisfied with the service at the restaurant. The meal was prepared quickly and it was tasty and juicy. The cocktails were very good too.

My wife and I were visiting London a couple of weeks ago from California, and we happened upon the Holborn location as it was a short walk from our hotel. We agreed that it was one of the best burgers we have ever had, and we've had a lot of them. Service was good, and we struck up a nice conversation with the friendly locals seated next to us. Price was less than it would have been in Southern California for something similar.

These folks have got it going on. I can't speak for the depth of their menu. I went "plain burger and fries," with a beer. The service was on point. The entire team was tuned in and I rarely say that about any restaurant. It's not a huge place, maybe they seat 50? The burger was of high quality and the fries were as good as really tasty Belgian fries. Their turnaround was quick and the food tasted great. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was the chair. It was not the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. I was at a high top, and the chair/stool was an arse hurter. If you're an American Jonesing for a nice burger plate and a pint, and you want to stay out of the typical chains you might run to for safety... Honest Burger is it. Don't hesitate... you'll love it. Sorry I didn't take any pics. I was in a hurry to catch a comedy show at Top Secret (which I also highly recommend!) Enjoy.

Excellent burgers. The medium was more like medium rare in America which I will keep in mind for the next time. Was a great concept. My daughter has the pesto chicken and I had the Honest burger and we were both very satisfied with the taste, freshness, and portion size. Meals came with chips (French fries). Great service.

While visiting London, I stopped at Honest Burgers Holburn. I was happy to see vegetarian/vegan options that included a fritter, Beyond Meat burger and vegan teriyaki option. The location has a selection of drinks and sides. Some sides include onion rings, seasonal coleslaw, rosemary salted chips and dressed green salad. The staff was friendly and prompt. The ambiance was quick service style and clean. I left feeling full and satisfied. I would go, again!

The burgers here are great. I had the Honest beef which comes with red onions, relish, lettuce w/ fries. The burger was cooked medium and it was excellent. Honest had a variety of food from chicken, to vegetarian. The server was great and explained the menu to us non locals well. They also serve beer and cocktails, so if spirits in your thing you're golden here. Definitely a must try. For next time I'll have my burger medium well, medium was not bad and it was juicy but that is my preference.

Was so happy to discover this burger chain and location! They offer natural and locally sourced burgers with gluten free options and sides which is amazing. The food tasted excellent and wasn't expensive which is pretty amazing in London!! Will be exploring other locations and coming back to this one as it's right next door to Ena salon where I go to get my hair done .
