Byron

Your standard Byron. They’re speedy here which is good as it can get quite busy. We luckily came when it was quite.
I had the smoky with avocado. Yum. The brioche buns are the way forward. They also seem to have their own root beer now which is cool!

Never been to a Byron’s before but it’s been a day of trying new things so here I am.
Dropped in here after watching a movie so the first question was would they still be open and jackpot they were.
The range of burgers on offer is good, with your basic classic burger to the chilli burger and the seasonal treat of Father Cheesemas. I didn’t try the father Cheesemas as I didn’t think I was hungry enough for that, but there is still time to get back and try one before the festive period is over.
There were quiet a few people in this branch of Byron but you could still have a conversation without having to shout to hear yourself, always a positive.
The staff were attentive, cheery and helpful. The time between ordering and getting our burgers was just right as my popcorn filled stomach was just telling me there was space which needed to be filled with proper food, and so it was.
I will be back to a Byron’s to see if I can catch the Father Cheesemas experience.

The BEST oreo cookie milkshake of my life. The waitresses were so friendly and helpful, and the burgers, mac and cheese, and corgette fries did not disappoint! We especially loved the little alley next to it with old and alternative bookstores. We needed to split checks and the most the waitress was able to do was three but she was very helpful about the matter. It seemed to be a pretty popular place and served to be a great lunch after a visit to the national portrait gallery!

I love byron sooo much that i always start my london’s trip with a good Cheeseburger.
This time i was disappointed because the bun was burnt and ruined the overall taste. (Minus 1 star)
Note that the execution of the burgers are different depending on the location. This one is not my fav but i was close.
Service is courteous as usual and food comes relatively quick.

I love Byron and am a huge fan. Its mostly their milkshakes that keep bringing me back, but they also do a tasty burger cooked medium (and it really is cooked medium).
So sadly I just didn’t love this branch as much as the others. I’m used to having loads of room, friendly staff and an unrushed experience. I just didn’t get that here.
It was quite empty, yet we were sat in between two couples on either side on very close tables. I could hear their conversation, so I’m sure they could hear mine.
My burger was well done even though they asked if I wanted medium and it just wasn’t up to scratch. It was just ok.
If this was my first experience with Byron then I know I wouldn’t go back, thankfully I know how good it can be. Maybe they were having an off day, but I don’t think I’ll be going back to this branch.

Eh, it was fine. I was there by myself while in town on business, and needed a quick bite. The wait staff was nice, but confused that I wanted a table by myself. The burger was okay, but maybe a bit less good than Five Guys.

Their differentiator is enough to get them four stars: they grind their own meat and cook it medium. (Most burgers here are dry and sawdusty.) Still too lean, but it’s a start. If you need a burger in London, go to one of these. The two kinds of chips/​fries are a nice touch. Competitive pricing. Nice people. Cheers!

I used to be a big fan of Byron as a carnivore (their blue cheese burger is ace!), but last night was the first time I hit up Byron as a veggie. Firstly, Byron get brownie points for being open at 9pm on a Sunday night, so if you crave a good burger to drown your pre-​Monday blues in, Byron is the one.
I had a veggie burger (the only burger option on the menu) and courgette fries. I’m pretty used to the lack of options when it comes to veggie food at burger joints but I would still appreciate two items on the menu. That said, the burger was delicious and the combination of goat’s cheese and Portobello mushroom in a brioche bun worked great. The fries were a bit too greasy for my liking, though.
So there you have it — a strong 4 out of 5. Byron Burger restaurants are consistently good, at least in my experience.

In anticipation of my London trip, I indulged my obsession with The Londoner and had a look at all her eating places. I eyed up Patty & Bun, Porky’s, Five Guys, Byron… amongst a few others. The focus really was on a good burger. I’m not a huge burger fan, mainly as I can’t seem to finish one, but recently I’ve got a real taste for them. Byron was the first burger joint in London to meet the Herb.
After a walk that felt like the London marathon (due to partial tube closures) we arrived on the doorstep of Byron Burgers. We were met by very casual and friendly staff who took us to a table and gave us a good introduction to the place. It’s like a trendy canteen — you can see from their pictures what it looks like. No muss, no fuss, but perfectly comfortable.
We were in a decent sized group and had walked for miles, so we ordered enough food to feed our small army. I noticed Macaroni Cheese on offer as a side — something that Scottish burger places haven’t yet embraced — and I don’t feel ashamed in saying I got a little bit hysterical.
Byron use Scottish beef (hooray!) and mince it themselves every day. They cook their patties medium to allow for the juiciest burgers. The Byron burger patty is topped with gooey mature cheddar, dry cured bacon, and simple lettuce, tomato, red onion and Byron sauce. The Byron sauce was like a kind of tartare sauce, with a subtle difference. It was gorgeous and creamy and I struggled to identify the ingredients that made it!
The Chilli Burger is one fiery burger! The patty is topped with sliced green chillies, smothered in American cheese and topped with shredded iceberg and chipotle mayonnaise. The chipotle mayonnaise was full-​bodied, smoky, spicy and utterly brilliant. Given that the chipotle mayonnaise was already spicy, the green chilli just created an inferno. I absolutely loved this, despite crying.
We ordered a few sides to accompany our beautiful burgers: skinny fries, chunky chips and macaroni. Oh hello lover. I was so happy to see Mac & Cheese on the menu and even happier when it was placed in front of me. Macaroni tubes in a devilishly creamy cheese sauce, topped with more cheese an baked to perfection. I had to hold myself from licking the bowl clean. I enjoyed it so much I didn’t finish my burger and the Byron staff thought there was a problem! I’d hardly call delicious mac ‘n’ cheese a problem!
We left Byron stuffed to the gunnels and nursing sizeable food babies. Many thanks to Byron for a delicious lunch, quick and friendly service and for offering macaroni cheese. Please consider a branch in Scotland. You’ve traveled up as far as Manchester, what’s another few miles?

I literally just came here for a vanilla shake last night as needed a sugar high. Fast. Well I certainly got what I was looking for. Wow. Best vanilla shake in London.

In London for a few days, we were wandering around Leicester Square for kicks, and wandered upon this joint. We were jetlagged and tired, and burgers fit the bill for an easy meal. I will say that it was expensive, but since we’re paying in pounds, everything is expensive with the exchange rate being what it is.
In any case… burgers very good quality and cooked to perfection. I had a classic burger and my boyfriend had the Byron burger. We ordered sides of courgette fries (zucchini, to us Yanks), onion rings, and cole slaw. The cole slaw was American poppy-​seed style, and was spot-​on The onion rings were delicious, and the zucchini — uh — courgette fries were thick cut and fried well.
All in all, pricey, but we got an excellent meal for the price. Wait staff were friendly and pleasant as well. I’d definitely stop in again if in the area.

I just heard that my friend with the meat burger had some health problems that night and the next day. Highly suspicious as the burger was the last thing he ate that afternoon.

Very solid, if slightly chainy, burger place. Expensive, to be sure — burgers, chips, and a beer was around £20 for each of us.
Food’s good — better, to be honest, than some of the poshy burger joints vying for the title around town — and service is, actually, really good: Food arrives as it’s done, so you can eat whilst it’s hot.
Beer menu is excellent, though it’s all in bottles — around £4 for a 330ml bottle of whatever. Almost all imported, though they have a house IPA, which even the staff will tell you pales next to Sierra Nevada.
So, worth going, if you’re near one.

I met a few friends here as i was in the mood for a good burger and had heard they were pro-​movember which i’m (trying my hardest) to take part in. The place was busy when we arrived but the wait for a table was only 5 minutes, first things to notice were the atmosphere, busy but the staff didn’t seemed too rushed or brushing by tables rapidly. Our waitress was pleasant, up for a bit of a laugh and made recommendations on sauces and toppings when we asked.
I went for the Moburger with a side of fries, the option for chips was also a side so i liked having the option. Sometimes eating thinner chips (fries) makes me feel like i’m not being such a teletubby. We were also asked after we’d ordered how we’d like the burger cooked which a lot of places don’t do. The burger itself was really good, good size, salad was nice as was the nice tender meat. I’ve had jucier burgers but this really did hit the spot. My friend got a peanut butter ice cream sundae as a dessert and although a bit sickly it was amazing. Really nice to help him finish it off (again, if i don’t order a dessert i can eat loads of someone elses without feeling like a teletubby).
I’ll definitely be going back to Byron at some point, its standard gourmet burgers much like many other places especially GBK but i thought it was really good, quick service and definitely filled my burger craving, no easy task.

If I crave a burger (once in 3 months) I go to Byron. There is no way I would let the calories go to waste in another place but this.
I go for the medium rare — the meat is good quality so I’m not worried. You can ask the waiter if you’re unsure that it’s a good idea and they’ll recommend.
This or any other branch don’t look fancy, but trust me the meat for the burgers would out-​fancy your taste buds.
Besides, just eat the bottom half of the bun — that will be already healthier and you won’t feel too full after your meal (and you won’t waste the space in your stomach for something that is not meat!)

Good but not great. Everything was fine but not astonishing. I really don’t know if that should be a 3 or 4 stars: the burger was good and the onion rings okay. I tried the «Byron» burger, assuming that was there signature burger but it was a pretty regular burger. Next time I will try the cheese burger.
I tried Byron and GBK both once and I clearly preferred GBK.

I’ll keep this simple. I *love* Byron. Their burgers are fucking delicious. Probably the best in London. Sure, you think they’re pretty good the first time, but once you have that medium rare perfection a second time, you’re hooked.
I’ve never needed Five Guys or In-​N-​Out less. Byron’s THAT good.

First time Byron experience proved to be a highly positive one.
Having been served by a Mr. «Classic» (written on his shirt), our server was smiling, fast, happy, and helpful. Absolutely great as it is rare to find someone serving you in London who really seems to enjoy his/​her job. This man deserves a bonus for this alone.
Burgers were perfectly cooked, both fries and chips were perfection, fast service, and the icing on the cake is the amazing Mexican hot sauce available at each table. Just like home.
I will be beck.

Between the lunch rush and the dinner rush, the place was very quiet. Which gave the staff plenty of opportunity to take care of me and to cook my burger perfectly. Which they did.
My «Hamburger with Cheese» was requested with cheddar cheese and arrived fully dressed — pickle, tomato, onion and lettuce, plus mayo. I added ketchup and also poured a healthy squirt of it onto the plate for the fries. I’ll tell ya, those fries were simply horrible (kidding!) and I had no choice but to eat every single one of them! Crisp and hot, with a decent sprinkling of salt, they were the right accompaniment for the Camden Hells Lager (a local brew) that came with a nice frosty glass.
A great burger, I would have no problem returning!
Tip: Don’t sit too close to the door. The exhaust fans in the kitchen area pull the cigarette smoke into the restaurant.

Wifey wanted Mac and cheese and this place had it on the menu. She said it was delicious. I was too busy devouring my burger to try it.
Burgers were excellent. The Byron sauce has Mayo tomatoes capers and something else I forgot. For us US residents it is similar to In-​N-​Out burgers dressing, just a tad fancier.
The onion rings were also a hit. Worth stopping in — especially if you have a burger, or mac and cheese, specific craving.
Excellent cyder also.
