Honest Burgers Brighton Reviews Summary

Burger Quality

Pros:

• "The burgers tasted really good, and the products were of high quality."
• "The smash burgers, doubles with bacon, were really nice, crispy but juicy & full of flavor."
• "Unbelievable burger - juicy, meaty, and all the flavors complement each other perfectly."
• "The gravy makes the meal here though! One of the tastiest gravies you'll find."
• "We had the chicken pesto burger and the tribute burger and both were amazing."
• "The burgers are excellent, those complaining about pink patties have no idea how a burger should be done!"
• "Very tasty burgers. The chicken was absolutely delicious and we narrowed it down to the pepper on the tomatoes which gave it that va va voom."

Cons:

• "I had high expectations for the smashed burger having seen rave reviews but it didn't meet them really."
• "3/5 for the Burgers. They taste pretty average. Nothing too different about them."
• "The actual meat could do with more seasoning as the taste is really just from the various toppings."
• "Burger underdone, the patty is pink. Both the burger and the chips are over seasoned, slightly on the salty side."
• "Burgers are nice and meaty, fries were too crispy, crunchy, lacking the interior fluffiness one would want from a chip."
• "I have been to many honest burgers in London, but my experience on Brighton was awful. They ran out of beef and they cannot serve the regular burger only the smash one."

• "Food tasted nice, but my only issue is that the burger itself was very thick."

• "They tried to charge me £3.50 for 3 (yes 3) very small onion rings as a ‘side’. When I complained, the person behind the till was very rude."

• "The perfect place for a nice burger on a cold Brighton day!"
