👍 Good burger. I ordered smashed burger, the quality of the meat is great and it’s halal. They also provide gluten free buns. Their onion rings were okay… the fries was the best! The coleslaw salad was not nice… People often mention burger, burgers, fries, good, service, chips, great, friendly, delicious, Honest,

    First-time visit! The burgers here were a delight—full of flavour. The staff were friendly, and the portion sizes are quite okay. Rosemary fries fresh and mint lemonade were delicious. Great burger chain. Toilet area could be better, it was not nice ambiance.

    The Teriyaki burger was so salty that I couldn’t finish it and the fries were lukewarm at best. The saving grace was the refreshing mint lemonade. The sinks in the men’s bathroom were also black with grime (a perfect way to lose your appetite!)

    Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated within ten minutes. The burgers and fries were delicious. The staff was very attentive. The food was not overpriced. We were glad we stopped here for dinner. The only small issue we had was we were seated all the way towards the back and we kept smelling cigarette smoke. It was odd because we weren't near the doors and we couldn't tell where it was coming from.

    I really don't have one bad thing to say about this branch. Staff is always really friendly and welcoming and the burgers always delicious. I love all of the burgers they have and I like that each branch also has their own signature burger! I think this is also really affordable for the quality of food you get! If you're in a search of a great burger, definitely visit one of the Honest Burgers restaurants!

    Lovely burger and fries. I had Honest burger at camden and it was very nice. Big portion, for me at least. Halal option available for chicken. Went for buffalo chicken, I like the fried chicken inside the burger haha. Quick service and we stayed quite a whilst chatting away and the waiters were kind to just let us be haha. Cheers.

    The food was delicious, no doubt. The service was really really nice and forthcoming and their playlist was perfect. They should run a club with that kind of music. I enjoyed myself eating here.

    Very lovely chicken burger, with really quick service and friendly staff. Really good serving size of chips too! Would happily eat here again.

    Had a good experience at Honest Burgers. It was my first time and the waitress patiently recommended their top 4 most popular burgers. I ended up ordering their Tribute burger with a mint lemonade to wash it all down. Food was delicious, lemonade was sweet but refreshing. Definitely worth revisiting for a good fuss free burger meal.

    We were group of 4 to enjoy the famous Honest Burgers in London. Since the place is busy, we had a 15 min wait to get a table. The restaurant has seating space on the ground and 1st floor. We called for 2 Chili 2.0, a Tribute and a Covent Garden burger along with a portion of Onion Rings and Chicken Tenders. The burgers were fantastic and the chicken tenders is a must try.! Unfortunately the service throughout the evening was terrible and impolite. The lady at the door was rude, and so was the guy who took our orders. Would definitely suggest a course in hospitality for the two of them. Left a bad taste after enjoying our meal at this outlet.

    Has to be the best chicken burger I've heard and it was nice to actually have a hot sauce that actually had a bit of a kick to it (still wasn't as spicy as I'd like 😅). The atmosphere was nice and the choice of music tonight took me right back to my youth with some classic 90/00s rap/hip hop.

    A great plus is that they allow walk-ins. Front of house said we'd have to wait outside for 20mins, but we could order drinks. After 5mins, he came back out and said our table was ready. One particular waitress, wearing a blue two piece crop top thing with tight bottoms, was behaving very unprofessionally. She wanted to have a break and so, chose one of the customers' table. Even when a group of customers wanted to be seated at that table, she refused to move and shouted. Spitefully, she quickly helped to clear another table, before promptly sitting back down again to have her break. She even ordered food! The other waiter who was working upstairs was excellent. Food: vegan burger was the best we've ever had! So juicy, perfectly balanced flavours, couldn't even tell it was vegan. Rosemary salted chips = divine. Onion rings were extremely oily but we enjoyed the crunch-level. Buffalo wings were delicious. Little bit on the expensive side, but the food was worth it. Very impressed with the food lift they had (see pic attached).

    My absolute favourite burger spot! There’s always an Honest around the corner in London, and it is always a delight. The space is cosy, the staff are wonderful and the food is quite literally the best

    Tried out their festive Christmas burger the other day, and for 14£, it was pretty disappointing. The portion of fries was so little that day and cold and soggy. The burger itself was underwhelming, felt as if ingredients were being scimped on

  • 4/5 Sunny G. 9 months ago on Google
    A really satisfying lunch deal of £8.90 for a single patty burger and fries. Perfect for a mid day snack that’s not too big and puts you to sleep after consuming. The burger was juicy, soft brioche lightly toasted bun and crunchy gherkins inside. I’m not really a fan of the hand cut rosemary chips but that’s a personal preference. Service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is open plan so nowhere for staff to hide but it can feel a little awkward - however, I didn’t wait to order or get the bill and the food was super fast. The bourbon iced tea was refreshing but not sure I would choose again. I would definitely return for the lunchtime deal - can’t beat a good burger 🍔

    I visited your restaurant last night and I must say the experience was nothing short of amazing. The burgers were absolutely delicious exceeding all my expectations. What really stood out to me was the exceptional service provided by the host, a young lady. Despite not having a reservation, the host was incredibly attentive and accommodating, making sure to find us a table promptly. Their warm created a pleasant atmosphere, making us feel valued as customers. Overall, I highly recommend this place for burger enthusiasts.

    You really can't go wrong with Honest Burgers. The staff here were friendly, the burgers are incredible, and the rosemary fries are very tasty. Would recommend trying the Covent Garden Burger or the Honest Burger. The onion rings are also exceptionally good 👌

    Upon entering we had no one to direct us to seats, no one is there to greet or assist you. Food overall was average, given that we were only limited to chicken because it was halal their strips were very good. The burgers were okay, the chicken itself was nice and tender but the chips were very dry. Dip is deffo needed.

    Both the fries and burgers were amazing ! Wow ! Superb ingredients with a lovely unique taste ! If you are a burger lover then this place is definitely a must. Nice open wine. Place itself is quite busy, service is not all too fast when busy but it works out. Nice music

  • 4/5 Jaeun O. 1 year ago on Google
    This place could've been perfect for me but a couple came to the store and ordered food later than me but they got the food faster than me. So I had to wait for it for 10mins more not knowing why I got my burger a bit late haha. Well I asked for a well-done patty, so maybe this is why? I was just wondering! Btw food was good.

    Lovey place for a burger, a must visit if in London. The specials are great and the vegetarian burger is delicious.

  • 5/5 Sam M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous place to pop in for a great bite to eat, right next to Covent Garden, yet priced incredibly well, & 5 star service - thank you

  • 4/5 Amy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good chimichurri burger, with a huge portion of chips (though a lot seemed to be small/very crisp as if scraping the bottom of the frier). All round tasty and good value for money, with pleasant servers.

    WOW being gluten free it's always hard to find the best food ... Honest Burger didn't disappoint! From the onion rings to the burger all was out of this world. Amazing little spot - get there before opening! They are tiny but intimate. The service that was delivered truly was worth going back for. Thank you - I can't wait to visit again.

  • 5/5 Ludmilla D. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great, the restaurant opened at 12.15am and seated us very kindly. We ordered out food and it arrived under 10mins which was good because we had a lion king performance in 50mins

  • 5/5 Caitlin O. 2 years ago on Google
    so glad we found this little place! the dining space is quite small so we did have to wait outdoors for about 10 minutes, but once we got in it was really cosy and nice. staff were so friendly, which always gives a place great vibes. I can't fault the food at all; I had the bacon plant burger and it was amazing. so many flavours but without any overpowering the other. served with a generous portion of really tasty rosemary salted chips, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. will be coming back!

  • 5/5 Grace B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff - the young lady there made us feel very welcome and the service was incredible for a Sunday night in central london! Marco and the young lady (sorry we didn’t catch her name!) we so so lovely and the food was beautiful <3

    Amazing burgers and crispy rosemary chips! Soooo good plus gluten free options for our coeliac friend. Giant gnt's, brilliant atmosphere! Will be back!

  • 4/5 Melbournelops 1 year ago on Google
    Good burgers - patty to bun to topping ratio was spot on. Very NB in my book. Loved that we could order chips and salads with our burgers and share around the table. Fresh and tasty & washed down with cold beer. Win win !

  • 5/5 Melina R. 2 years ago on Google
    All burgers are gluten free when you ask for a gluten free bun (which for them is not a problem at all). It was super tasty, and the potato chips were also very good! Would always come back. I got the courgette and corn fritters in a gluten free bun (front) and my boyfriend got a beef burger with the usual bun (back).

  • 5/5 Elliot 2 years ago on Google
    Great burger place. Staff is super friendly, portions are generous and burgers are just delicious. Coleslaw and fries perfect as well. Super location too. Definitely recommend !

  • 5/5 Ö H. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything in the picture was great. We ordered chili burger, honest burger and onion rings. The fries was rosemary fries and the onion rings were so crispy. The sides were surely a big plus to already excellent burgers.

  • 5/5 Dr. Yasmin K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great burger place. I love the rosemary fries. Also the salad is quiet tasty and is a big portion for a side. The chicken burger is halal. Staff are friendly and service is quick.

  • 5/5 Mak M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Five Guys! You can taste the freshness of the beef! So tasty. The fries... yum! Great fast food place.

  • 3/5 Roy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Burgers were good but not as great as what the other reviewers had. Would have given 4 stars. However, the ambience of the restaurant was ruined by the loud music. We had to shout at the top of our voice to have a conversations. So a minus ome star for that.

  • 5/5 Emilia H. 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed lunch here. The server was a little to overly friendly for my German quietness, but I would still go again any time. Had a gluten free burger that was really tasty! :)

  • 5/5 Jocelyn C. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn’t know what to eat so we went to Honest burger for dinner. Burgers were lovely, loved the chips, well cooked and seasoned. Also the burger beer, what a lovely combination
