Just as the name states, honest and good burgers. Price quality a great deal. I went for the limited edition Texas smashed burger, it was really good. Service was swift. We had a nice spot at a window with a view of the buzz outside.

for the price, the quality is phenomenal. i loved the smash burger. great bread, amazing melty cheese and plump mayo, crispy and flavourful meat, and SUPER SWEET AND SOUR DILL PICKLES!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!! THANK YOU! the vegetarian side salad was also so flavorful and well-balanced, good spice and light dressing on fresh leafy greens, it pairs so well with a hamburger. and i love a cute herb on a fry, so the rosemary was great. the fries were really potato-y in the good way, with a delightful crispy outside. very happy with Honest :)!

I had dinner here, and the experience was fantastic. The staff were very friendly, and the burgers were absolutely delicious. We had the Honest Burger and the Fried Chicken Burger, and I loved both. We didn’t have to wait long for the food either. The fries were slightly cold but still very good. My only minor complaint is that it got a bit busier over time and became slightly noisier. Overall, I loved it and would definitely consider coming back for a revisit.

Very good smash burger! So tasty and juicy. The service was also really good and the place itself is really nice. Annoying I asked for their signature hot sauce, which I paid extra for, and it tasted like buffalo sauce. Not worth it. Also, be aware the menu is slightly misleading as the calories in the menu are for the burger only (without the fries) and there is only a small print on the bottom to say this.

Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, one of the better Honest Burger locations. The burger was great, but the staff and relaxed ambience made us choose this place a second time in our week in London! Quite pricey but tasty burger. Would suggest the smashed burger and the chili burger if you want to go for the best choices on the menu.

I was lucky that i could have experienced the new york deli double smashed burger which is available on specific dates. It was amazing. Also i liked the N7 pale ale local beer. But rosemary salted chips unfortunately is not so good; i think my fries were a little much fried, they were too crunchy. But my point is still 5-star because of delicious burger.

Came across this place by accident whilst staying in London. Very glad we went in! Food was absolutely divine. Staff were amazing. Thank you for a lovely evening. I would say I may have had the best burger of my life here (so far). 10/10

Splendid! Top class place, the burgers taste perfect as “medium-well”. I believe the default option is cooked as a “medium-pink”. Good quantity of salt on the rosemary salted fries so you could really appreciate the flavours! The tap water came with ice and a slice of lemon which certainly adds brownie points. You won’t regret visiting….honest!

This is an easy 6 minute walk from King's Cross Station. They have plenty of indoor seating. I ordered one of their limited time burgers with the rosemary salted chips (fries). Both were good! The service was also good.

I didnt grab a picture but wow what an amazing burger. We got their basic burger and split it between my mom and myself and it was divine. There was plenty of seating when we got there and the food didn't take too long to arrive. We paid extra for the upgraded chips and it was so worth it. Would definitely visit again.

We found ourselves here because it was close to our hotel, but we liked it so much we ate here twice. The burgers are very good. I definitely preferred the smash burger to the regular burger, but it was all worthwhile. Service was attentive, and prices were reasonable. Highly recommended!

Is it possible to give 0 reviews? I'm in town visiting and my friends got to the restaurant 15 mins before I did and ordered there food. When I arrived I waited 15 mins before asking a random server where our server was. She was pretty rude with her response, I get being busy in a restaurant but it doesn't cause to be rude to somebody whose going to spend money here. When I finally got a menu and she came back within 60 seconds she asked me what I wanted and I said a chicken sandwich and before I could even finish she said they didn't have any chicken. I said okay let's try a burger, no burger. I would never recommend this restaurant to anybody especially this location for rude servers. I wish I could've gotten her name but being a visitor I didn't want to start any issues. For the future it's important to treat all customers with respect.

Great burger! Fries and onion rings had a great flavor Service is not so good Three guys standing around when you're trying to get their attention Usually it's a staffing issue I'd go back for the burger and chips but know we might get a refresh on a pint

Delicious burger spot within walking distance of King's Cross station. We wanted to meet up with a friend before our train to Paris and she recommended this spot. They had a great vegetarian burger that tasted just like the real thing! I had to get my husband to take a bite and confirm that it wasn't the same as his beef patty. He said it definitely tasted different but if I hadn't told him it was vegetarian he never would have guessed.

I really didn't intend to eat a hamburger on my trip to London, but I was starving and Honest burgers was open pretty late and not too far from my hotel. I tried to place an order online but the system wouldn't accept a non UK number so I had to wait until I got there to order. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately. I sat at the bar and the bartender gave me some water while I waited. I had the beef burger (well done) which came with the rosemary chips. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, but wow it was really good and very flavorful! The rosemary chips were really good too (reminds me of the fries at Smashburger). The chips were a bit salty, but I still ate them. It was very filling and satisfying.

Got a recommendation for this place from a friend so figured I'd check it out. For a burger shop who's whole thing is to not skimp on the beef patty they sure skimped on the pork belly that was supposed to be on my burger. The patties are thick here, but the rest of the topping are diminished. Also, my burger was served room temp, like it had been sitting around for 30 minutes before it was served -__- The rosemary chips are quite good and the best thing of this visit is my discovery of Karma Kola. So good and superior to Coke. Now I type this as I'm waiting 15+ min for my bill. About to ask for the 3rd time....I'm sticking to 5 Guys when I'm craving burgers next time.

Ate here on our trip to London, it was the closest to where we were staying. We had just had burgers the day before but were starving so we grabbed a bite here. I got a chicken sandwich without the roll and it was really tasty and tender. It came with fries or chips which were seasoned. The seasoning was tasty but just a bit too much. I wish they had had more options on their menu. The place itself is really cute, it's rather small but has multiple levels. The food is prepped downstairs and you can see into the kitchen area. The bathrooms are downstairs as well. I really liked how open the space felt as well as all the windows. If you're in the area it definitely is a good spot. The burgers looked really good as well , but we didn't get to try them.

If the rating was based on food alone, this rating would be four stars. I ordered the special, which had an onion ring, bacon, and cheese. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the flavors all worked together perfectly. The rosemary fries- to DIE FOR!! My husband ordered the honest burger, and he enjoyed every bite. We ordered a ginger ale and lemonade, and we were surprised that the lemonade was carbonated. It was fine, but not described on the menu. Food is definitely worth coming back for. If the rating was on service alone, that would be 0 stars. When we entered, we were treated by a friendly worker who seated us. Menus were handed to us immediately. That was awesome. But then we waited....and waited.....and waited. My husband even went up to the bar and asked if we order at the bar or at our table, even though we watched other tables order from a server. After 30 minutes (no exaggeration- I was watching the clock on the wall) a server came, a blond woman. We gave her our order, and then proceeded to wait again. After 20 minutes, she brought us our drinks, apologizing for the wait in getting the drinks. So after waiting 50 minutes, we finally got our drinks. Our food was brought out shortly after, not even by our server, and we happily ate. When we finished, another server cleared our plates away. We never saw our server come to us again. She would go downstairs and disappear for quite some time. We waited for our check, but it wasn't brought to us. Watching other tables, we saw those servers get their checks from their servers. But we did not. After another 30 minutes (again, not an exaggeration because I was watching the clock), my husband went up to the bar and asked if we could pay. What should have been a much quicker dining experience turned into almost 2 hours. Completely ridiculous. So, if we lived in London, we would not return to this place. There are plenty of other places to get a good burger.

Right on for their gourmet Honest Burgers! It is served with their very crisp and crunchy chips, so it will be an amazing combo meal! For 10 British pounds, which is more or less 20 dollars for a burger with chips, it better hit the spot! It did. They have other sides and varieties of burgers, but my eyes were on their classic. Keep it original and keep it simple. Servers were nice and at this Honest Burger location, they have a downstairs as well for dining.

The advantage with restaurant chains is that you can always expect the same quality ... Usually ... but apparently not always at "Honest Burger". During the last eight months I have been to this chain more than once, in detail two times in this branch. Which concludes that I really like the food in general. The service has always been very friendly in other restaurants of this chain. Unfortunately, they failed here both times! When I came in today I found it rather disappointing that they refused me to choose a seat, although 90% of the seats were neither occupied nor visibly reserved. I would have liked to sit by the window, but this was rejected by the staff. The burger was very soggy and the fries did not taste at all because they were way too dark and charred. Apart from that no one appeared to ask if everything is alright. So I had to go to the counter to ask for the missing fork. When paying by card at the end (without my approval to use it "contactless") I was asked to enter the tip amount (while the lady was watching what I did). In the restaurant were 5 guests and 7-8 people staff at this time. On both visits, the restaurant was remarkably empty, which is rather untypical for "Honest Burger". Maybe I am not the only one who has faced similar experiences. Admittedly it must be stressed, however, that the decor of the shop is very nice. therefore I give two stars in this case instead of only one.

We decided to check out Honest Burgers on a whim before a show in Camden one night, and I'm so happy we did. The menu is really small but well-crafted, and they have frequently changing specials to add a bit of fun. Portion sizes are a little bigger than your standard euro meal, and I was definitely full after my dinner. I ordered the Honest Burger with a side of chipotle mayo, and my dinner came with a plate of rosemary salted chips. Our server was incredible - friendly and attentive. We arrived at just the right time so it wasn't busy, but I can definitely see this place filling up quickly. There are a few shared tables and plenty of bar space though, so a wait wouldn't be too bad. I will admit, it's a bit pricey for a burger (two burgers and a beer for the boyf came in at £30) but honestly, it was well worth it for the great experience...and the rosemary fries.

I love a good burger. Every time I've been to Honest Burgers, I've had a good one - they are consistently great in quality and flavour. I tend to go for the Honest Burger (beef, red onion relish, smoked bacon, cheddar, pickles and lettuce) with a gluten-free bun, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Their specials are often exciting, too, but I'm not a fussy person when it comes to a burger - I like them pretty simple. The fries are crispy, and deliciously light, too.

Coming from California, we have tons of good burgers like Habit, In'n'Out, and Hook Burger, so when wandering the streets of London late at night and a burger craving struck, we were lucky enough to run into Honest Burgers. We came in around 30 minutes before they closed, but their staff was fantastic about not making us feel rushed, allowing us to sample a few different beers, and giving us a variety of sauces to try with our fries when we couldn't make up our mind. Oh, and the burger was fantastic. We discovered this too late but they do offer a gluten-free bread as well!

Highly recommend the fritter burger. The combination of vegetables on the fritter is unlike anything I've had. Love that sauce too. The whole thing is delicious! And the rosemary chips are addicting. Get ready to be stuffed by the end of your meal.

Yum! Highly recommended. A short 3 minute walk from Kings Cross Station and Platform 9 3/4. The special of the day-beef burger, double smoked bacon, smoked cheddar, sauerkraut, sauce, seasoned fries, and a choice of a 1L of lager or darker Oktoberfest beer. Simply yummy-highly recommended. The burger surprisingly good-it was honestly a great burger! The fries are moderately seasoned which I enjoy, although my purist kids likely would say they are too salty. The service was also splendid. The clientele and staff is largely youthful. Im glad other reviewers also recommended it as I otherwise wouldn't have known about this gem.

Honest burgers is a good burger chain. We were around king's cross station looking for a good place for burgers or fish'n'chips, so we decided to go there. They have 10-12 quid burgers, that is ok because the quality is quite good overall. So, if you're craving for fast food, near the place and the waiting is not too long, it worth the visit.

A bit on the pricey side but these burgers are really good. I had the veggie burger and was not disappointed - suuuuuper tasty. Also those rosemary fries? Outstanding. Good food, friendly service, good beer and cider - solid place.

I really liked this place! I've had varying burger joint experiences since visiting London, but this one gets high marks from me. We weren't sure if we'd get in at a peak time, but we were seated downstairs immediately and had prompt, friendly service. We both ordered cheeseburgers, with a side of fries to share and from the time we sat down until we paid our bill, it was probably 30-35 minutes. Pretty speedy! Granted, we ate like our lives depended on it because we were trying to make a comedy gig across the way at Invisible Dot, but regardless, the food was fast, hot and delicious. The buns were fresh and brioche-y, the burgers juicy and flavorful. Mine was a bit on the rare side for my taste, but that can be a matter of preference and I finished it without a second thought. I'd definitely recommend popping in here!

Simple menu mean they can do what they do well and I always go for the Honest burger medium rare and they make it just as I like it! The rosemary fries hit the spot just right and you don't have to worry about what sides you want as it's all there for you. The lemonade is a good choice if you want something non alcoholic but I tried the Botanic gardens and it didn't fail to hit the spot! Good venue located just around the corner from Kings Cross station so if you're feeling peckish or looking for a good hearty burger I totally recommend! Reasonably priced great for friendly catch up over some good food!

Fellow Elite Yelper Andrew M organised a little dinner here to try the Brewburger, Honest Burger's collaboration this month with BrewDog. this location is bigger than their Soho or Brixton locations and definitely feels more spacious. The staff manage the queues well and our table of 5 was seated swiftly. We shared a selection of starters, the best of which was a trio of battered sausages. I also liked the spicy chipotle mayo, which was a good foil for the generous bowl of crispy fries, which came with the burgers We all went with the Brewburger, consisting of a beef patty topped with beer candied bacon and beer BBQ sauce in a brioche bun. It was nice but I was relieved that the beer flavour didn't really come through as I'm teetotal. The beef patty could possibly have done with a little more seasoning too The lack of a dessert menu meant that we left in search of dessert. However, this is one of the better burgers chains in London town

Burgers were great as always - full of flavour, relatively cheap too. We ordered onion rings which were amazing! Mint lemonades are to die for. Restaurant is in a great location, right in the middle of Camden Market. However, not enough seats for such a busy area - we had to sit outside due to how packed it was inside. After sitting for 15 minutes, no one had drawn any attention to us so we had to ask for the menu and then had to wait a further 15 minutes to get served. Would come back here again if the service was better and more seats were added.

My boyfriend Ross had raved about Honest Burgers as he previously had one of their special burgers, onion rings and chicken wings while he was in town for the London Coffee Festival and was adamant that I should try it. Even though they have Honest Burgers Locations dotted all over London, trusty Google Maps ensured us that it was only a stone's throw away from Kings Cross. My tired sore feet were rejoicing. Being a Bank Holiday, we weren't quiet sure if they'd be open but luckily they were and were able to get a table without any difficultly. A rare occurrence in London for the most part. The menu is petite, pretty much like the restaurant, but the food sure does pack a punch. I opted for the Tribute Burger (£10) after playing a game of eenie meenie miney mo. My burger was topped with bacon (naturally, you can never have too much bacon, as long as it's crispy!), American cheese, burger sauce, French's mustard, onions, pickles and lettuce. Ross decided to try the namesake Honest Burger (£10) which was topped with red onion relish, smoked bacon, mature cheddar, picked cucumber and lettuce. Our waitress asked if we'd like our burgers medium, definitely. It's the best way to enjoy a burger in my opinion. What I love about Honest Burgers (other than the great ingredients they use) is that all burgers come with fries. Not just any fries though, skin-on rosemary fries. It's a nuisance at times having to order separate fries, or should I say actually remember to. As we were starving and my boyfriend is a human dustbin, we also got BBQ Chicken Wings and Onion Rings on the side. We didn't have to wait long before our food was in front of us. First impressions? It looked rather inviting with the cheese oozing down the sides. Oh boy. I'm currently salivating. Upon first bite, the burger was full of flavour. You could taste the fresh ingredients and as I was battling to not let the cheese drip onto my white t-shirt, I proclaimed that this was the best burger I had ever tasted. High praise indeed. I may have had my mouth full of juicy burger goodness at said time as well. The beef did all the talking, the combination of toppings were icing on the burger cake. It was divine. A joy to eat. A little pet peeve of mine is when burger restaurants ask how you'd like your burger cooked and what you get in front of you is not what you asked for. If they state that their burgers come medium or even recommend it themselves, ensure it is medium and not well done. Luckily, Honest Burgers get it right. It was perfectly pink. Mid burger munch, I tried the skin-on rosemary fries. Perfectly seasoned, these fries were crisped to perfection. Marvellous. Not too crispy, not too limp. I loved the addition of rosemary which was different to the norm you'd get at other burger outlets. I couldn't get enough of them. Cheesy thumbs up from me! Sadly, I was a little let down with the rings and wings, which I hate to admit. As I bit into an onion ring, it was rather watery which in turn made them slightly flavourless. The BBQ Chicken Wings on the other hand were nice but a little underwhelming compared to the burgers. I adore chicken wings, but I just can't pinpoint exactly what was wrong with them, maybe the tangy sweet BBQ sauce? My boyfriend who has ordered both of these sides in the past even admitted himself that they were "different" this time. Both were edible but not as rememberable as the burger. It's hard to fault a place when the staff are so friendly, attentive & always had a smile of their faces. I loved the décor and the chilled out relaxed vibe. Prices weren't as expensive as I thought they were going to be and unlike some places I've eaten in, there was no rush to get you out the door as soon as you had finished your food. The food, for the most part, was superb hence the high overall score and I would honest-ly (heh!) go back in a heartbeat. Now if only they'd open in Glasgow.... until then, see you soon Honest Burgers

Oh Honest Burger, you are honestly my favourite place to get a burger in London. I usually order the simple beef burger (sometimes with cheese). It might just be me but I feel like their burgers are on the smaller side. This may be due to the fact that I am always starving when I eat here so I plough through the burger. But said burger is absolutely delicious and the portion of chips definitely makes up for my perception anyway. I'm also a fan of including the chips with the burger instead of being a separate side you have to order. I always leave this place full and happy. Plus the lemonade is the best. Proper American style homemade lemonade yum! I've only ever been here at lunch when there are plenty of tables available but they have an awesome basement seating area with lots of cool booths. This is my favourite location because 1) it's kind of close to UCL and of course Kings Cross and 2) on sunny summer days the sunlight just streams through all the windows making the most pleasant, joyful atmosphere anyone could hope for. Especially if you get to sit in a booth by the window. Try to snag that seating next time, not only can you people watch (or car/bus watch because wow is that street busy) but I promise you the lighting also makes for great photos!

Nothing too fancy. Withouth complications. Just a simple menu. Great Burgers! Just like that. One of the best I had in London so far. Amazing rosemary chips with every burger. No menu dessert or coffee, but it's not a problem. Just Honest Burgers!

I have a confession to make, I am a burger fanatic! I love my burgers and would try as many popular burgers as possible. This place reminds me of Bareburger in New York where they have an established brand name in the city with their signature gourmet burger. The buns were soft and the meat was juicy. The rosemary fries were done to perfection- flavorfully crunchy. I got the honest burger with bacon and was afraid it was too much protein. It wasn't. The portion was substantial but everyone at my table finished their burgers and fries with a smile. Order their limeade or lemonade if you want an nonalcoholic drink to pair well with your burger. Unlike your standard lemonade, it's only slightly sweetened, which surprisingly goes well with your fries and burgers. Service was standard, maybe slower than normal but hey you're here for your burger so patience will do you well!

Another Honest Burgers. You get what you expect: a decent burger with great rosemary chips in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The latest location of the quickly growing British burger restaurant micro-chain Honest Burgers is located just a short walk from King's Cross and St. Pancras International stations. And while I have not yet been to the Camden and Portobello shops, I think it is safe to say that their King's Cross restaurant is the biggest so far, it even has two levels with an open kitchen downstairs. The wooden interior gives this branch a nice atmosphere, in line with the other two Honest Burgers I know. If you have been to any other Honest Burgers branch, you will know what to expect. A delicious and solid burger with noteworthy rosemary chips that are among the best in London, I would say. When I went on the opening day, I ordered the excellent Christmas special: juicy beef patty, camembert cheese, cranberry sauce, smoked bacon and rocket. For me, this burger is probably as good as any burger could ever get, cranberry sauce and camembert is a winner combination and works very well with the beef patty and the smoked bacon. I was only a bit disappointed to see that the bun was a bit soggy and basically could not copy with all the toppings, which made this meal a bit more messy than usual at Honest Burgers - not less enjoyable though. In general, Honest Burgers have a simple menu. It is easy to read and without too many options, so you can order quickly. However, they always have some special burgers on and I was told that only the Portobello and King's Cross branches will offer the Tribute burger. So if you're into the Tribute, you now have two locations to choose. Service was friendly, and despite the waiting time before anyone even came up to me to check where they could seat me, I enjoyed my visit at this new Honest Burgers branch. They still do not offer any desserts, and I am not yet sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But no matter if you have a sweet tooth or not, I can only recommend Honest Burgers for what they do, because they do it well: burgers.

This location was a few blocks from where I was staying. Everything was closed for bank holiday. I'm so not used to that. Holidays in the states you can still eat, you can still have fun, you can still see any form of living. So when I came back to the area I ordered takeout. The guy with the mustache, who I'll just call Mr. Mustache, was cute. I ordered with him. I wanted a lemonade to go but they didn't have to go cups. I waited quite a while actually. Almost 20 minutes for a burger and chips. I took my food back to my room and the chips were hard and unappealing. The burger was good but the bun didn't hold up. It was quite soggy and depressing. The staff was cool but that food for 10 pounds needs improvement. Or maybe I need to dine in. I'll go with the latter and just try them at another point.

I was so hungry. My brothers an I decided to roam the streets in search for food. It was our last dinner in London and we find Honest Burger. This place looked amazing. We walked in and we were seated by a lovely lady. Someone then took our drink orders, then food, you know the usual. I ordered the Honest Burger (check out my picture to see what's on it). The burger was fantastic. Cooked to perfection with bacon, lettuce, and pickles. I loved every bite of it, and the chips were just the icing on the cake. I also got a side of onion rings and they were delicious as well. They were crispy and warm while the inside had a nicely cooked onion. This place was honestly one of the best food places I at in during my stay in London. Maybe it's because I'm American, but you can't get it like this in America. Craving a burger? Go to Honest Burger. It will HONESTLY be the best burger you've ever tasted.

No list of best burger joints in London is complete without Honest Burger. It's super busy during dinner so try to book a table if you can. The venue is split across two floors, but it's much cosier downstairs. Staff are friendly and the food is very nice. In a Byron type of way it's simple and classic. The rosemary fries as everyone say are a must. The rest of the menu is simple, burgers are a choice between chicken or beef. Okay 3 options. There's a veggie burger too that at the very least looks tastier on the page than many other veggie burgers look in cooked form. So there's that going for it. There's a special brunch menu with a few more items on it. I've not had anything from it, but think of things like steak, fry ups and granola.

Upon entering I was quickly greeted with a friendly smile and seated immediately. Service was quick and pleasant. Both the decor and the burger was fresh and tasteful.

It's a good restaurant. It's not best hamburger in the world, but I live in the us so... for me it's a good deal. You won't regret.

Honest Burger is conveniently situated a few minutes walk from Kings Cross Underground station. It's a decent sized venue on one level although the toilets are downstairs. The main service station is to the left as you walk in and there's lots of seating. I've enjoyed meals at other Honest Burger branches and nipped into this branch for a quick bite. I was able to order a standard burger and fries with a soft drink but unfortunately wasn't able to eat it as I was taken ill, nothing to do with Honest Burger though. My friend ordered the same meal, loved it and said it was just as good as other branches she's been to. The staff here were great, friendly and went out of there way to help. Most of all the manager Simon once alerted to the fact that I felt sick came over to ask how I was and how he could help. He was super helpful and even gave me tissues and brown paper bag in case I was sick on the way home. I'm very impressed at the way they look after their staff and definitely will be back to this branch.

Ah man, I just love honest! The fries are just something else! Crispy and in some sort of deliciously addictive rosemary salt. The best part is they come complimentary alongside the burger! It likes they know you need them! Burger wise, I'm pretty predictable when I go to honest, I always get the chicken burger without fail and damn do they do a good one. The chicken is never dry and grilled to perfection! Honestly can't fault the food. The only annoying part is at busy time, you might have to share a table with other people, if there's only two of you. But, don't let that put you off, the food is seriously delicious!

People keep raving so despite not loving it, I keep coming... But I'm seriously not going to bother anymore. The lemonade is lovely and refreshing, the coleslaw is really nice, the chips... Well I guess if you love chips with rosemary then they're pretty good, but the burgers... The actual burgers... I left half of mine because it literally made my tastebuds bored- yes BORED. There is nothing special about these burgers... Even the one I had last night which was called "The Special"... Nothing that makes this burger stand out, no complimenting tastes or textures, just felt like a block of chewy overly salty rubber in my mouth. I love burgers, but this is simply NOT on my must-eat list.

Restaurant good for coeliacs with its option of wheat-free buns and burgers on request. By the way, these burgers are delicious! You should also try home-made lemonade with fresh mint, very tasty!

This is a place that we might have not gone too but in the end, I'm more than happy that we went. It's in a very local area and their customer service is amazing!! As soon as we went in they came to us and brought us to our table. We ordered and there was about a 7 or 8 minute wait until we got our food. We especially loved the honest beef burger and the BBQ chicken wings were phenomenal!

A newish addition I think to the Honest Burger mini chain and a good location on Pentonville road near Kings Cross. They've done a nice job on the conversion in a Victorian building on a corner site with a ground floor and basement restaurant. Inside it's simple, clean, feels good. First time trying Honest Burger so was quite excited. Ordered the standard burger without cheese, medium, as recommended by the waiter. A side dish of beetroot and apple coleslaw sounded good and at £2.50 the price is right for a side. A few minutes later the burger arrived in a nice bowl together with plenty of chips (included) along with the well sized side dish of slaw. Yum. It was just right. Everything... The burger itself was great with an onion relish topping. Served medium on a toasted bun, it had everything right. The server recommended some chipotle mayo which was pretty good. Strong smoky chipotle flavour and plenty of heat. The side of slaw was pretty good too and a decent size. Here's a key point of difference for me. This is one of the few new mini chains opening up that actually provides a decent, generous serving size, something which is notably absent from some other new places, perhaps not wanting to risk that you might actually be hungry and want to leave satisfied. I never understand that. Mean portions + high prices are a deal breaker for me, especially for simple, casual food like this. Thank you Honest burger for fulfiling that simple wish. The rosemary chips were just great and perfectly CRUNCHY! Some of the best fries I've had. Service was great: friendly, confident, to the point and no nonsense. That's all I want.

I realize that not every burger can be the best, but this might very well have been. Cooked to perfection, juicy (succulent! ) yet crisp, great sides, and truly fantastic rosemary fries. Actually, the fries for sure are the best I've ever had, crispy as actual crisps/chips on the outside and prefect texture on the inside, with a mild yet unsuspectedly mindblowing taste of rosemary. And this is a chain! Moving to any country where you can find this a.s.a.p.!

The fries are pretty good but the chicken burger I ordered was ok. The service was pretty cool. Our waitress was very attentive and we were seated in the lower level area where we could see the grill from our seating booth. I preferred this seating area versus the upper level . The upper seating area was drafty with the door constantly being pulled open.

The burgers are ace. But you know what's better? The fries. I will come back for those alone. They're just so crunchy and flavoursome (thanks to a sprinkle of rosemary-salt) and I simply can't imagine my life without them anymore. Is there a Rosemary-fries-addict-anonym somewhere? I think I might need help to stop my obsession.

First time trying Honest burgers. We used Yelp reviews and boy were they right. A burger is not just a burger after you try an Honest Burger. Mike was our waiter and he took care of us fast and explained everything on the menu. Very reasonably priced and just a wonderful meal. Keep up the good work guys!
