London
I am very excited about Byron Hamburgers. I'd heard good things from friends about the Kensington and Kingston branches and when i found out they were opening in Soho, i'm pretty sure i punched the air and asked for high fives from my colleagues!
These are seriously good burgers and while this isn't the best burger i have ever had (that title goes to Le Park Meridien Hotel in New York), this is the best burger i've had in London. Forget GBK, Ultimate Burger, Fine Burger Co. and all those other guys. This is the place to come.
So why are these burgers so good then?
- Freshly made burgers every day. If the patties aren't used, they're thrown out.
- Great quality highland beef
- Quality, solid buns that don't fall apart + a good size (there are no stupidly sized GBK tomatoes here)
- They taste really, really good. Nuff said.
What else is good here?
Excellent selection of beer (there's something for everyone - Brooklyn lager, London Pride, Sierra Nevada, Thatcher's Cider, Asahi). Someone has thought long and hard about this beer list which is great.
American treats that you seldom find in London - Cream Soda, Root Beer, Oreo Cookie Shakes, Mac & Cheese)
Service - Ok, ok we were the first ever customers here, but we were well looked after.
Areas to improve?
If i'm being pedantic:
- I wasn't asked how i'd like my burger cooked (but when it came it was perfect and i discovered later that everything is cooked to medium)
- Sauces: The sauces are really good, but don't charge me £1.75 for a thimble of blue cheese dressing. This should be free.
I will be back (probably about once a week).
