Honest Burgers Portobello

Not bad value given it's London. I had the honest lunch and chose the homemade lemonade which is very refreshing. Nice rosemary fries with the burger. If you're not too hungry this fills the gap at lunchtime. Staff were pleasant. Note there is a 10% service charge added to the bill.

Service was efficient but no smile. I had to ask for serviettes. My drink was served later than my next table who ordered later than I did. 10% service charge was payable. Average service - it is okay, I eat and go. I ordered the Honest Lunch which came with a cheeseburger, loads of fries and a choice of soft drink at GBP8.95. The burger is not big but it is delicious. Flavourful beef patty. The fries were salty and crispy. Great ambience!

The staff were friendly and took the time to explain the different burgers, which was nice. I went for the chilli burger—it came with bacon. The beef patty was juicy (ish—maybe because I asked for medium-well), though some of the bacon bits were a bit tough to chew. I loved the rosemary chips, but a few bites were quite salty. Luckily, the homemade lemonade helped balance that out. In hindsight, I probably should’ve gone for the one with the American sauce instead.

I went here with a friend on a lovely Wednesday afternoon, and it was not too crowded. The staff were all friendly and were very helpful regarding all of my food allergies, and actually listened to me about them, which was AMAZING! My friend and I both got the single smashed burger, which was plenty of food for a single person, and it was only 10 pounds and came with chips! It was a good deal. The burger had a lot of flavor and the chips were nicely seasoned. Overall, would go again!

This was my third time eating at an Honest Burger, but the experience didn’t quite live up to the previous ones. The place was fairly busy and, aside from a very young and kind waitress, the service wasn’t particularly great. The burger was excellent, as always, but the fries and the onion rings were maybe a bit too greasy. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in London — probably in a different branch, just to try another signature burger. Honest Burger still remains the best option if you're looking to enjoy a gluten-free burger!

The perfect place to get lunch for under £15 right on Portobello road. Visited with a friend on a busy Wednesday and was promptly seated. My friend had several allergies so we were pleased to find the staff so accommodating and the food we were served was delicious. Highly recommend the single smashed burger as it was just enough. Fries can be substituted for coleslaw.

Unfortunately, our experience at Honest Burgers left much to be desired. The burger looked great on the outside, but after a few bites, my partner realised it was extremely rare inside — despite specifically asking for it to be cooked medium. The restaurant was very busy, and we struggled to get the attention of a staff member during the meal. As a result, we finished eating what we could and mentioned the issue to the waitress afterwards. Disappointingly, she wasn't apologetic and instead implied it was our fault for not saying something sooner. In the end, she deducted £1.50 from the bill as a gesture, but frankly, that doesn’t seem acceptable for a burger that was served undercooked and potentially unsafe to eat. We expected better food safety standards and customer service from a place with such a strong reputation.

Mostly I post 5 stars or 1 star review only. And will see why I give three stars here. First I ordered smash burger with chips and brooklyn pilsner. As you can see from the photo, I got ‘Chi’ not ‘Chips’. Not long enough to have ‘ps’ to be entitled as chips. Brittle, oily over-fried state of dry chi which makes me imagine they must have been sunk under the oil frier and rescued after all body parts scattered in the hell frier and served to my table. so I checked other tables and their chips were well-educated, over-nurtured and healthy golden chips like me, yellow asian. Burger was one of the cheapest option so didn’t expect to have stunning quality meal, so skip describing it. So I asked for a bill and one manager looking person found my chips and said sorry for the food quality taking the beer and additional charges out of my bill. This is why I decided not to give one star.. As I’ve been living in notting hill area for several years, I hope all of the success in your business also wanting to be served well. I will definitely revisit this honest burger again and I hope I delete this review and rewrite another review to 5 star then.

Good value burger especially in times of inflation. Drinks are reasonably priced too as the gin and tonic was massive and under £10 Truffle burger: filled with so many condiments. You'd love it if you like one of those extraordinary burgers but of course don't expect it to be sophisticated truffle flavor. Smashed: not super juicy but it's meant to be that way because it's smashed. If you like more crunchy bits on the edge of the patty, go for this one. Drinks here are massive, strong and affordable so op for it if you fancy one!

Great burger choices for a plant based eater. The fry seasoning added a pop of flavor to every bite. This was our lunch stop after a long day walking the streets of London. I highly recommend coming here for a burger of your choosing.

A busy burger place with a nice ambiance in the heart of Nottinghill. Overall it's good! I love the rosemary fries. I had their special truffle burger and I was actually disappointed because I could barefly taste that truffle goodness! BUT their smash burger was tasty.

Food is always good. Always consistent. Prices are not too bad. Can't really go wrong with this place

Excellent food and great staff! It's a cool, small spot. I recommend the Portobello 3.0.

The Portobello Burger was excellent along with the Rosemary French Fries and a side order of the Chipotle Mayo. I also recommend the Gravity Theory Cider. You won't be disappointed.

So far the best burger chain i have tried in london. Better than gbk byron bleecker mcd five guys. However, it still does not reach a five stars for me. Still looking for better burgers and if anyone has recommendation for better burgers, please reach me out. Nevertheless, honest burgers is good and recommended to go. The price point is good too. Cheers!

Nice and cozy space with friendly staff. Walked over here during my stay in Paddington. Lookout for any burgers they have on special. Ask for a local craft beer :)

Hey what can one say .. just been to honest Burger.. great food.. and if you don't mind debris in your drink (ordered sparkling water and debris were floating in it) and dirty forks (they forgot to serve a fork and when asked for one I watched him clean a dirty one with a napkin and then brought it over with a piece of old food still stuck on it) then this is a place to visit. oh, and the guy behind the bar "thrilled" to be working tonight. good going Honest burger.. never coming back again

Great food! This was absolutely delicious! Good service and they were able to seat us pretty much right away despite being a small and crowded place. (There's a downstairs too) Nothing I would change about the food at all!

Very delicious burgers . Good selection of burgers and drinks. Very nice service. A bit too loud but ok. nice decoration with pleasant music. Nice area with many shops and bars .Only to be recommended.

Oh my gosh, super yummy burger!! Juicy and flavorful. Yummy French fries with rosemary. Delicious cocktails, get the botanical garden for a fresh gin drink. Perfect stop after shopping on the portobello market.

I don't eat meat at the moment so having a good burger is truly a treat for me. Let's be honest, most vegetarian burgers are pretty dreadful. Some might even claim that they have no place even being in the same sentence when talking about a good burger. Usually I would have to agree with that but every now and again I'm proven wrong as I was in Honest Burger on Portobello Rd! I'm the type of person that believes the less items there are on the menu the better as then the restaurant has really focused on doing just a few things really well and that way they keep the quality very high. This is definitely the dogma of Honest Burger. There are only 7 burgers on the menu (one veggie and one chicken, the rest is beef) and they are accompanied by some lovely sides like onion onion rings and coleslaw, and all burgers come with rosemary salted chips, yummmm! The place is quite small and / but it has a nice atmosphere and a diner-like wibe to it. Our waitor was really great - very helpful, knowledgeable and polite. It also turned out he was a fellow vegetarian so he was definitely the right person to help me with my order. So I chose the veggie burger (obviously) with some extra cheese and candied red onions. The burger comes to the table fast and looking absolutely juicy and delicious. I bit into it and it's just as satisfying and decadent as any good burger should be - beef or not. They also brew their own beer, Honest Pale, and it's absolutely delish!

I've been meaning to come to this place for ages. Finally came here as part of their 1st year birthday celebration. I really loved it. I went for the 'Honest Burger' it was delicious. The fries were super, with Rosemary on them. As I went for a late lunch, it was quite. The staff were great and very attentive, which gave the place a bit of an atmosphere. I shall certainly be back to sample some more of their burgers. Probably try the Camden outlet next. Great burger! Thank you.

I remember thinking two things - amazing service and great food. Me and my friend got seated at the bar and started chatting with the bartender + waitress, and they were quite honestly some of the friendliest people that we've ever met. We had such a great experience! Also I got the veggie burger, which had such a unique taste (it was actually tasty, not just a side option) -- super fresh and crispy. They also gave some great fries on the side, and we couldn't even come close to finishing our food! Great food, great price, and best service!!

Nice burgers! Chicken sandwich is pretty good as well. Sweet potatoes fries were nice. Pass on the truffle cheese fries (like velveeta) but the slaw with pomegranates was incredible! I enjoyed my burger sand bun but with salad, slaw, and sweet potato fries.

The space here was limited, but I loved it. The restaurant had a very nice energy about it, the other customers seemed happy and the servers were super sweet. My friend and I had the veggie burger and it felt really fresh(although we ended up drowning our food in mayonnaise ha ha). The fries were great, but the onion rings were unexpectedly delicious. Due to how they were fried, as soon as I saw them I knew I wouldn't like them but I was pleasantly surprised. Them accepting Apple Pay was also a plus.

We walked by and casually noticed this place. We asked if they had gluten free bread and sure enough they did. We both got the chili cheese burger, I however opted out of the bacon. Even without the bacon it was an amazing meal. It wasn't too crowded anyone who came in willing to get seated where seated. It appears they also have a take out option. We also got their special drinks as well the botanical gin tonic was good but I wasn't too much of a fan of the grapefruit gin tonic you'd special, I believe it was.

Short and to the point, bit like our visit and the service. Iced tea-only drinkable with ice to dilute it. Burger was cooked over the medium rare requested, not soft in consistency but tasted ok. Chips were warm but taste was good. Bacon gravy was good. Burger sauce and pickles were great. Asked for diet but got full fat Coke. Requested drinks with 3 people. Table not cleared fully, then bill thrown on table. Charmless rude girl who took our money and didn't apologise for the card machine not working for 3 cards and made it out to be our fault. Overall, no real need to return unless there's nowhere else open and even then I'd get takeaway. And they still cant cook a medium rare burger.

For a chain it doesn't get much better than Honest Burgers. Refreshing styles and quick, friendly service keeps us coming back. Thanks!

One of the best burgers I've ever had and I've had a whole lot of burgers across the US, Canada & other parts of the world.. This is amazing House special 100% delicious and the fries are perfect

Honest burger in Portobello is my favourite burger around South Kensington. I only don't give them five stars because I heard great things about Patty and Bun and waiting for them to blow my mind. Otherwise, this place has amazing staff, burgers always come with perfect portion of fries and really quick as well. Their cocktails are nice too. I usually get the vegetarian burger but my bf gets double the meat so I saw that it was beautifully cooked and juicy. Their coleslaw is not drenched in mayo which I love. Plus great range of beers to choose from.

This burger beats byron and perhaps even gbk and is well pampered with accompaniments in the bun, most notably the bacon;, well well above average and not salty. Now to the spectacular: The chips are an attraction by themselves, I'd go there just for the chips. without doubt the best chips I've tasted, beautifully crispy and herbed up chips. Now to the the pepper sauce from the kitchen; wow wow wow! Listen up all Caribbean restaurants, for this sauce is worthy! Service relaxed and very good. A petit, cosy and comfortable place. £11 for a generous and tasty plateful.

The Brooklynfication of north Notting Hill continues! American burgers, American beer, and... rosemary chips? I guess that's what makes it more Brixton and less American. Honest Burgers has come to West London--and pretty much the most conspicuous place possible: Portobello Road. It's a good call; the tourist foot traffic alone is enough to keep it packed to the gills on market days. It stays pretty full the rest of the week, too. For me, it's not a lot of competition for The Electric Diner, whose burger, is one of my favorites in the whole wide world of processed meat. Their 'American sauce' is sort of a Thousand Island dressing concoction and the patty is a bit thick for my liking. I do love those rosemary chips, however. Plus the selection of American bottled suds and Sheppy's cider is fab. And as most hipster restaurants go, the house music is pretty great. I can't imagine this location won't succeed, so it doesn't make me feel so bad when I go up the street a bit for the Electric's burger instead.

Absolutely love their burgers and rosemary fries - wish they add some sauces for the fries! The staff is friendly!

Easily one of the top 5 burgers I've enjoyed in my lifetime. The burgers here are expertly prepared and taste amazing! The included fries are perfectly seasoned with salt and rosemary. I'm not quite sure how the rosemary was so evenly distributed - most places seem to just toss rosemary in as an afterthought. But not here - just like everything else we tried - the amount of care into the preparation and quality of ingredients is evident. Even the side salad was delicious. Bonus - Turns out just about everything here could be prepared gluten-free - they even offer a gluten-free bun for the burgers if interested. Extra bonus - killer soundtrack and great service!

I'm usually a big fan of Honest Burgers and I still am, because their food is amazing and their burgers and fries an absolute delight. However, this branch doesn't do the brand justice. We came here for a Friday night meet up with friends for brews and good conversation. I guess the phenomenon hasn't quite traveled this far north in London, so we were sat immediately (unlike the Soho branch where I've waited for much longer). This branch is very intimate (and I think has a downstairs/upstairs, I couldn't tell, we were on the ground floor) and has a great relaxed feel to it. However, the booths are really close together, and for most of the dinner, I felt like I was on a Ryanair flight with good food and good company. It certainly didn't help that the person across from me that I kept knocking knees with is a good friend and it seemed like we were playing footsies but with our knees. Food wise, the burger was good as usual, but it seemed to lack the finesse that the Soho branch has. The bun was a fair bit bigger than the patty inside, leaving the patty to move about uncontrollably like a squirming kid after 3 hours on a packed train. The brew dog beer that accompanied the beer was amazing, and the two went perfectly together. However, this special wasn't as good as the Loosiana burger that they had a year ago. The chips as usual were amazing. Better than most that I've had in London (save one in Shoreditch), well fried and crunchy even when they got cold. However, the rosemary here wasn't as prominent and didn't make the chips stand out as much as the rest of the branches. It's really a shame because I really like the burgers and fries at Honest but just not at this branch. All in all it was a really great night and it certainly was accompanied with good food. However, this branch of a great brand certainly lets the brand down. Perhaps the owners need to take a bit of notice and up the anty here.

After a good number of burger adventures for two years across London, with a few extra pounds added on my weight, Honest Burger is still the best and the undisputed champion in London when its comes into great British burgers. The brew burger was really special.... the beef patty as expected was moist and full of richness, the smoky bacon blended in perfectly with the sweet Comté cheese. The beer fried onions in the mix, made with Brew Dog's Punk IPA was robust and peppery and together with the BBQ reduction was truly a beast to die for...

Fantastic, absolutely delicious and cannot wait to go back! The Honest was the best choice. The Karma Burger was okay but I made the mistake of getting the gluten-free bun/ too small for the burger and tasted so bland so it was a bit of a mess and a let down! But I tried the Honest and it was delicious!!! One of the best burgers I've ever had. The curry sauce is a must and the onion rings were delicious. My boyfriend and I also loved the rosemary fries!!! Not to mention the venue is very lovely and casual.

Great food and service, friendly staff. Buffalo burger comes and goes on menu, but it's amazing. The Tribute is also really great and best chips in London!

Good staff and good onion rings. Veggie burger decent and cold glasses for beer. Kids liked the burgers.

It was Honestly the worst burger I ever had. The bacaon wasn't cook, it was dry and tasteless. The BBQ chicken tasted really bad, cannot explain how bad it was.

Really good burger and chips. Hubby liked his regular burger and I loved my gluten free. They take cross contamination seriously too. Really good food. Will definitely be back.

Great burgers and friendly service! Convenient location and quick take away service. I ordered their veggie burger with fries and it was available in less than 5 minutes. Delicious, healthy veggie burger that wasn't too heavy.

Really great chain restaurant with a high quality of food - what they do, they do very well. The chicken burger here is my favorite, sided with the coleslaw and chips with as much chipotle mayo as they'll let me order. They offer take away too, which is just an added bonus!

This is not my favourite Honest Burger... the layout is a little weird and pokey and I don't think the food is AS good as other locations, though that may be because it's right on Portobello Road and we were there on a Saturday! Nevertheless, they still have delicious burgers that beat any others in London, and their fries are still super delish. I ordered an orange juice which i'm convinced is not 'freshly squeezed' as it says on the menu (I was disappointed about that) but otherwise it's a winner for me!

I had read that this was one of the best burgers in London, so I was a bit disappointed once I tasted my burger. I found it a bit boring. The fries were ok, but also not great.

Great burger joint - used to go to soho one but somehow I started to find the burger quite bland., then I stopped off this portobello place and on my god, miles better... Not sure what it is but sooo amazing with so much flavours fries are much better as well. Why?! Not sure but trust me... It is just so much better. Dangerous news for west residents... They are delivered with deliverloo... Too dangerous :-) must try!

Great burger joint with great service and good prices. The signature Honest Burger was delish, and the fries/chips are perfect. Recommended.

Nice place for a quick bite. The brunch burger was great- the bubble and squeak added a nice bit of crunch and (speaking as a salt fiend..) the chips had enough seasoning! A friend who ordered the chicken burger was a little disappointed that there were so few options for those who didn't eat beef..

One of the best burgers I have eaten in London. I have tried many other burger places and this place comes out on top. Amazing beef, good choice of burgers and a nice range of drinks.

Had a great meal with my family our first night in town. My wife and I enjoyed the chicken sandwiches, while the kids loved the burgers. Our waiter was great, and did a fine job taking care of us. It's a little pricey, and worth it. Enjoy!

Loved it! We had delicious burgers....fresh, tasty and wonderful service! Highly recommend it when you are in Notting Hill.
