    Absolutely stunning food at a fair price. The lobster is amazing grilled or boiled and they give you all the tools to deal with them too. We had starters to share .... Black Tihlger Prawns, lobster croquettes and scallops. The sauce on the scallops is amazing x We had two different combo mains, one with Burger and Lobster Sandwich and the other was Buger and Lobster (went for a full one cooked half and half) then upgraded our fries. Really decent portions were served and the staff were friendly, helpful and chatty. We went at lunchtime and there was plenty of atmosphere around us with city workers, tourists and Birthday parties. I would absolutely go back and wish they did these up North.

    Superb quality of food and friendly service. Loved the fried calamari. Batter is very light, and the squid is cooked perfectly without becoming rubbery. The house lobster roll is definitely a must order. Top up with caviar for the extra saltiness. A great pit stop for meal.

    I recently dined at this restaurant, and I must say, the food was excellent! From the appetizers to the main course, every dish was bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive – attentive, friendly, and prompt. I highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience.

    Would give this restaurant a much higher rating if the burger was nicer! Obviously a venue for meat and fish fans but they do have vegan and veggie options too. Lovely decor, nice and quiet. Could’ve done with less air con as was quiet chilly. Friendly and helpful staff and food of a great quality in terms of presentation and general standard, just lacking in taste. First though I must say the truffle fries were amazing and faultless. But the vegan burger was so dry and tasteless. Lots of fillings etc. so like I say, not lacking in effort but didn’t enjoy the taste. A different brand of patty would make a huge difference. Didn’t try the drinks but would love to as the cocktail menu looks amazing so I will definitely return to try those!

    Great place, ambient, service and delicious food. I had the B&L combo and have to say, the easiest place to "clean" a lobster, appreciate the chefs making it easier for us. The burger was very juicy and tasty too. For the dessert I went with a sweet cocktail with cotton candy, and it was amazing! Great end of this dinner, so sweet :) The service was great too, I kept asking for stuff as I forgot when the meal first came but Peter was super nice, and brought everything with a smile! He also explained the options when I couldn't decide, which really helped with my choices and I was delighted with everything. I would be more than happy to come back! Thank you Peter, chefs and the rest of the stuff for making my night so enjoyable :)

    It was great food. Very delicious and look nice. We didn’t know that they charge tips for the bill. It was my first tip culture in the UK, and I was a little confused because there was no explanation from the staff. It turned out that the bill said voluntary tip in small letters. However, tourists who are not good at English need sufficient explanation for this.

    Gaetano was a fantastic host, exceptional service. Food was delicious and everything perfectly cooked. Flawless meal, will be back again. Photos don't do it justice, as we were sat by a red light 🙂

  • 5/5 Xuan Anh T. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfectly cooked lobsters everytime. Their dessert is also a hit! I came with my sister here 3 times this week! Monica was our waitress and she remembered us. She was really friendly and helpful. Overall great food, good service and reasonable price ( lunch menu was £20/ classic lobster)

    Frankly speaking, I like the food. Appetisers are tasty and the sauces provide a good balance. Portions though are really small. The main dish is of course lobster roll. The taste is unparalleled. You can virtually taste the sea as each bite brings out the salty flavour of the lobster despite the mayo sauce. Only downside of the whole meal is that it’s a bit pricey given the portion size. Otherwise, all good. Should come at least once if you travel to London. P.S. if you’re into sci fi utopia novels, do check out the book on last picture which is available on Amazon. Highly recommended read while waiting for your food to come. 😁

    Me and my family went here to make the most of the money off scheme. Had to book a table online and it was easy. Food was great, lobster was delicious and the burger was yummy. They got my sons order wrong but was quick to fix it and was apologetic. Friendly and welcoming staff. My son enjoyed his burger. All of us enjoyed our food. The prices has gone up and on the expensive side. If you love lobster this is the place to be.

    Super tasty steamed lobster! Also had the original burger, which was quite large, and delicious. Elegant and refined; this location has just undergone a beautiful remodel. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely DELICIOUS. Staff were really friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Had the double combo, oysters and watermelon drink! My go to restaurant next time I'm in London! Lobster was so sweet and fresh. Restaurant wasn't too crowded.

    The best thing about this dinner was our server. He was really funny and attentive. The food wasn’t the best for me but I would definitely recommend the seafood platter(starter) if you’re a seafood lover. The though drinks were excellent!

  • 5/5 Yen Chen L. 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    The lobster is very fresh and goes well with the beef burgers. The fried squid and cocktails are also very good. The service staff is friendly. Perfect meal.

  • 5/5 Keithybaby l. 4 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    What a great meal this was, the large lobster was sooo tasty and cooked to perfection 👌🏾 Truffle skinny fries we sublime Black tiger prawns were lush! Calamari done the way it should be crispy and tasty! The cocktails were delicious too. Overall throughly enjoyed the food. Service was excellent from Christian who was a very attentive and helpful! Thank you to the manager for seating us earlier than our booking time, that was greatly appreciated as it was an absoluting freezing nite out and didn't fancy walking around! One down side but this is just personal preference would be for the tables to be spaced out a little more and to have a little more room on the smaller tables!

    Food is not bad but lobster does not taste as fresh as in other burger & lobster restaurants. Since they changed their pricing strategy it is too pricy. I will go to a more proper restaurant at this price next time.

  • 5/5 Roman 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Every time I’m in London I pop by to grab a lobster roll. It is absolutely delicious. Friendly staff too - Gaetano, who served my table was incredibly helpful and sweet. Great experience overall.

  • 5/5 Sara M. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Absolutely amazing night! Made our friends birthday super special! Service was amazing! Especially Chris! He was hosting our table and was so attentive - constantly filling our glasses, full of smiles and helping us to eat our lobster showing us how to use the utensils 🤣 He was the best and made our evening! Thank you so much!!

    Had a combo half lobster and Tone was a super helpful person re my preferences for no fries or bun and subbing (for tiny extra 2:50) fries for their delicious broccoli I always love (plus need all the veg when eat out as I don’t bother cooking much at home - more the snack monster of cheese and ham). So burger came in lettuce with their usual delicious side salad. Spicy sauce is amazing also and not too strong for the lobster. I prefer steamed as less stuck to shell.

  • 5/5 Matteo P. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was awesome, and the service was great. A bit pricy but it's worth for a good lobster experience.

  • 5/5 Vanvada M. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely outstanding taste in burgers! I ordered a classic set, lobster burger with chips. It matched price! But chip was not good enough.

  • 4/5 Shima 10 months ago on Google
    Got the lobster spaghetti. Boy it did not disappoint 😋 a bit pricey but worth it. Also, the bloody lobster roll is my fave!! Service was average.

  • 5/5 Gurpz M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great meal here. The calamari was very tasty and the lobster burger was amazing. Churros were good as well. Overall the food was packed with great flavour. Highlight was lobster croquetts. Great service as well. Recommended if you love lobster or burgers. Makes a great combo.

  • 5/5 Roma N. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to have a delicious food. We really enjoyed our wedding anniversary celebration at this place. Everything was fabulous from service to food. Very charming and cozy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to visit! ❤️ Thank you all Burger&Lobster team for an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Nhung Cam H. 8 months ago on Google
    This is my absolute favourite restaurant and we usually visit the different branches in London. The food is always fantastic and very good quality! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. We had Tony and he was super lovely. We had children with us and it was very child friendly. We eat at Burger and Lobster regularly and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

  • 5/5 Sharon C. 8 months ago on Google
    We came in on a late Saturday. The server is super friendly and professional. We had the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The lobster on top is done beautifully, tasty and tender and juicy. The pasta tastes fresh and very flavorful with seafood. I had the cocktail Japanese Plum which is also very tasty. We had a great time and will definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Stanimir F. 4 months ago on Google
    A perfect place to spend some dinner time. The service was outstanding and the food (both burgers and lobster) was really delicious. It is way less crowded than the other B&L restaurants which makes it even better.

  • 5/5 Fernando 5 months ago on Google
    The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff, particularly Rhian, exudes friendliness and warmth. Monica, the shift manager, is exceptionally kind and welcoming, always accompanied by a friendly smile.

  • 4/5 Nikolaos T. 10 months ago on Google
    Friendly service and a comfortable space, but the food was nothing special, did not match its price. More specifically, the meatballs with lobster (from the appetisers) were delicious but I found the signature burger to be mediocre at best. Overall, it was a pleasure to have a lunch with my wife at the Burger & Lobster Bread Street, and we fulfilled our curiosity to try its burger, so I'd recommend people to give it a try, but I was unimpressed and will unlikely revisit.

  • 5/5 Sonia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent meal. Enjoyed the whole lobster lunch with a passion fruit martini. I like how you can get half your lobster steamed and the other half grilled if you can't decide between the two.

  • 4/5 Hafiz I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service, great atmosphere. For starters we had calamari and croquettes. Mains was lunch special, grilled lobster.

  • 5/5 Laila B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great staff, great prawns and great oysters

  • 5/5 Runa B. 2 years ago on Google
    Prawns were gorgeous and service was brilliant

  • 4/5 Caressa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great lobster and lobster roll. There was a passion fruit drink that was really tasty but probably a little light on the alcohol. Our waitress may have been out favorite yet in all of the places we have visited. Portions were large, I was surprised how much lobster we were served.

  • 4/5 Jacqueline P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great value lunch, really friendly service from all staff, good seating. Loved the skinny fries, decent sized lobsters, and yummy calamari starter.

  • 5/5 George G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good experience - we booked last minute due to having to change our plans. Waiting staff were very good, enthusiastic and good at giving recommendations. When the wine we wanted wasn't available we were given an alternative for the same price. Food was good, with generous portion sizes. Didn't try the burgers, but the ones we saw looked very nice. Would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Yep, 100% worth a visit although the Lobsters are not as big as those you'll get abroad. Nowhere near in fact. Still great food though and great cocktails. You will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 thu l. 2 years ago on Google
    Been 3 times this week, the first one for evening meals , was so impressed with the food , the whole loster cooked perfectly, salad and chips are nice , too. The staffs are great special Monica. Thank you very much, hope i can come back to London soon and definitely be back to this place x

  • 5/5 CJSky 2 years ago on Google
    Good food done well and with some really nice sauces. Prices for central London aren't unreasonable given the quality. The beast burger in particular is an excellent mash up of flavours for the ultimate surf and turf burger. Well worth a detour for lunch or a night of cocktails and lobsters.

  • 3/5 ennui c. 2 years ago on Google
    Good old Burger and lobster in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Dinner time is very empty so the service is especially attentive. Would verify that the food is the same across all branch. Pity that the prices have goone up so much in the recent years. Flavour: 4* Hospitality: 3* Value for money: 2*

  • 4/5 Bia R W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant nice food but they charge service for my take away burger.

  • 4/5 Alex C. 1 year ago on Google
    Burger & lobster was welcoming and cozy on a chilly September night. Waiters were friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing away with the restaurant getting quite busy. We ordered the oysters, lobster croquettes, lobster Thermidor and the beast burger (medium). The croquettes were cheesy, filling and enjoyable. The 5oz beast burgers were great cooked medium and were juicy. Just the right size without spilling the burger all over the place and the fries crispy. Although lobster meat was included on the burger, the flavour was missing and could have done with some seasoning or a bit of their famous butter sauces. The lobster Thermidor was well presented and tasty according to our friend.

  • 4/5 Farida E. 1 year ago on Google
    The grilled tiger prawns are a good starter: perfectly cooked and marinated. For my main, I ordered their lobster salad which includes half a lobster, lettuce and green beans topped with grated parmesan. While the flavor combination was good, I expected a more filling portion given that the dish was listed under Large Plates on their menu. Perhaps it was unfortunate that I missed out on their signature lobster roll but there's always next time!

  • 5/5 Sun Hee K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was just amazing! Here was one of my bucket lists! I visited here with 2 kids and orderd a combo menu(lobester and burger, lobster roll). My kids asked me another lobster so it cost a lot but it was worth. Our lobster was half grilled and half steamed but all of us preferred steamed one. And staffs were friendly and a staff who got our order asked me if any of us is allergic to any ingredients. How thoughtful! Tbh my daughter is allergic to nuts but she really really enjoyed the time here. My big mistake is to come here just once while we were staying in London for 12 days

  • 5/5 Yuki M. 1 year ago on Google
    Monica was our waitress and she was amazing, very friendly and helpful with good service. We ordered a Combo set. The lobster and the burger were both great.

  • 5/5 CS C. 11 months ago on Google
    It is one of the several Burger & Lobster restaurants in this city. This one is located near the St Paul Cathedral. It offers a very delicious combo of beef or chicken burgers and baked lobsters. Serving portion is big. Dining area is comfortable. Service is friendly and fast. We enjoyed our dinner here. Recommendable.

  • 5/5 Vicky D. 11 months ago on Google
    I had really good experience here! And thanks a lot to Nina! She is very helpful and funny haha. She recommended some really really nice food to me. I really enjoy the time at burger & lobster Bread Street:)

  • 5/5 Carson 10 months ago on Google
    This was the best restaurant my family and I went to in London. Our waiters name was Gaetano and he provided phenomenal service. The lobster roll and burgers were to die for as well as the delicious drinks!!! You’ve got to stop by!

  • 3/5 Pavlos T. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was above average. The burger was really good. The lobster was well cooked. The general atmosphere was great. The service was good, however our experience was ruined by one of the managers' (or staff) behavior. It was our first day in London. We paid in cash and our bill was exactly 100 pounds including service charges, that as we were informed includes tips. We decided to add a few pounds in coins on top of the bill, as the waiter was kind to us. Among the coins there was a small one in value and the guy decided to return that coin in a small disc. This was his only interaction with us. He just left the disc with the coin on the table. It is a pity that one guy ruined the experience for us.

    The cuisine at this establishment is outstanding, with attentive service and a warm demeanor from Gaetano. The combo lobster and burger are particularly noteworthy, and the oysters are fresh and reasonably priced during happy hour. I highly recommend it! Many thanks to Gaetano for the exceptional service!

    Super satisfied with Burger & Lobster. Everything was cooked to perfection, very well seasoned, simply great. Rhian was extremely attentive and friendly, amazing service! If all waiters and waitresses were like Rhian, the world would be a better place! Thank you so much.
