    One of the best burgers in London! I have to say, the food was great, especially the french fries. I ordered the lamb shank burger, a spicy single patty burger, and french fries. Both were tasty. The staff were helpful and great as well.

    Burgers were average compared to other “fancy” burger restaurants, and do not come with fries. I was intrigued by the confit wings, but they were drenched in a thick sauce so I could not tell the difference between them and standard fried wings. Service was slow, we had to ask them multiple times to get us water.

    Average burger. Chips were wayyyyyyyy too salty and half of them were burnt! Nothing special, wait staff was a bit rude and snobby and place is way too tiny. Liked that they have a lunch deal going on during the week however the quality was decent before covid but now its just not worth it.

    After 3 years we came back to this famous burger joint in St Christopher Place. Nothing has changed and staff had welcomed us with broad smile. Smokey Robinson was delicious and melted in my mouth. Wife had chicken burger. Overall it was a pleasant meal.

    Had my indulgence on their cheeseburger and boneless chicken thighs. Chicken was fried to perfection with the juice oozing out. The burger wa some of the best burgers I had in London if not Europe. It was so good that I actually forgot to take pics cos i was busy enjoying it so much. The place however was little tight in space but to get your hands on that kinda food we could even squeeze into a chamber …. Hahah. Kudos chef.

    Lambshank Redemption at Patty & Bun might be one of the best burgers I ever had. I've never had an amazing burger before, but this one definitely lived up to its name! The beef was perfectly cooked and so juicy, and the bun was nice and soft. The toppings were also fresh and added a great flavor. Overall, it was an incredible burger and I will definitely be back for more!

    Popular But Needs Tweaking Patty&Bun is among the city’s popular burger joints, but the thick patty isn’t quite my style. When I ordered medium, the meat was served a bit too raw for my taste. Their buns could use some improvement; I was expecting a fluffier, better-fermented brioche. They can be a tad tough and sometimes overshadow the flavor of the meat.

    Great food and atmosphere as always, despite it being very busy, the staff were lovely and very accommodating, thanks!

    Burgers were great! The bbq wings are terrible. There was a curly haired girl that took our order she was super sweet, we came in contact with one of the other servers she had attitude for not reason and the person that gave us the bill was SOOOO RUDE his name was mateas or something like that. He was not professional at all, honestly from those few team members that we dealt with I wouldn’t come again.

    Visited for the first time and was very pleased. The hamburgers are nice and juicy! Reasonably priced. Tried also the chips, the slaw and the cheese balls and everything was good. Recommended!

    Lamb shank burger is unique. Crispy chicken burger is good. Other burgers were ok. They came well done when we ordered them medium well. A bit dry. Brisket fries can be improved a bit. Little extra care needed with the glassware from cleanliness perspective. Staff are friendly. Personally I liked the vibe.

    Going for a quick bite during lunch time. I’m surprised by the nice burger and superb crispy fries. Lunch deal is very good value!

    In my opinion its not worth the money. This is a very good restaurant but it isn’t: we didn’t get any plates and prices were too high. It’s kind of cold here because they don’t close the door. They forgot to bring us one burger so we waited for it another 40 min. Hamburgers were small but they were okay. the chicken wings werent tasty ( i would rate them 2/10). The waiters were nice and kind. I wouldn’t go here next time.

    Decent little burger place. The burgers, chips and chicken wings were great. Value for money is not so great though, since portions are fairly small. Beers are the price of a pint, but you get a can. Service was also horrendous. They were slow, kept dropping stuff, unapologetic and they seemed very irritated in general. First time we ever deducted the service charge.

    Brilliant plant burgers are both super tasty and so are the chips. Slight error on our daughters burger but rectified immediately and such good service. All the staff are brilliant, welcoming and so efficient. Thanks to all of you! If we lived closer we would visit regularly!!

    Had dinner here, grabbing the cheese burger medium rare. The best burger I've ever eaten, very tasty although there was so much juice or oil that it was messy and created a pool on the greaseproof paper. Around £8.65 for the burger, I was disappointed that you have to purchase the fries separate but I suppose its London prices (I live elsewhere). I tried my friends fries and they too were delicious, very nicely seasoned with salt and crunchy.

    Went to this branch with a friend to try some burgers and was not disappointed! Burgers were great and innovative, lots of rosemary chips (could not handle them all), great cocktails and beer but most important good atmosphere. Thank you, Denis, for great service!

    Love Patty and Bun Burguers. This one is located in a very centric places. Restaurant can get busy during weekends, but queues move fast. Love their fries portions which are always very generous.

  • 5/5 Isaiah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good quality burger. The bougie burger had great flavor. Hot chicken sandwich is pretty spicy. Both sandwiches were good but a bit small for the price. Fries with curds and gravy were good but the fries were probably frozen. They would have been better if they were a thick hand cut chip.

    Nice spot to have a burger. The atmosphere is very laid back. There is ambient music in the background but the good thing is that it's not so loud that you can't hear conversations. The burger was nice, not too dry which is great. I had mine with the salted caramel milkshake which hit the spot. The staff are friendly and they don't hover around but now and then ask if you are okay, a delicate balance they seem to have nailed down.
