• "Sadly the fries were very salty to the point we couldn’t eat them (due to salt burn)."
• "Burgers were mediocre."

Ambiance and Cleanliness

Pros:

• "This place is tucked away on a nice quiet street and I suspect not many people know its there."
• "It's definitely worth grabbing an outdoor seat in this pretty side-street in central SoHo."
• "Love this honest burger chain, which has both indoor and outdoor seating. It doesn’t have the biggest space, but it set down a lovely quiet side street."
• "The rustic charm of the Soho location sets the perfect stage for a delightful dining experience."
• "Eating outside under the heater lamps while it was raining was pretty cosy."
• "Cozy ambiance and an outside terrace."
• "The restaurant is tucked away in a residential back street and has a great atmosphere."

Cons:

• "And the toilets themselves were poorly maintained, with the flush not working when we visited."
• "Also there was a slight disturbing smell coming from the toilets."
• "However when I went inside to use the loo, the bare floorboards in the restaurant felt slippery and could do with a good clean."
• "Bathroom were so dirty and small you can barely fit in there and close your eyes before while washing your hands."
• "On the negative side, the floor was very slippy, dangerously so on the route to the toilets."
• "Restaurant vibe is great, just didn’t like the fact I have to leave the restaurant smelling like food."
• "The decor inside is a bit plain and run down."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Tasty hand made burger, fries and a coke at a reasonable price."
• "The water for £1 with free refills is much better than selling plastic bottles."
• "Great food for an even better price."
• "Meals are reasonably priced and the burgers, well - they are juicy, nicely spiced, flavored and tasty."
• "The meal wasn’t bad and the prices are ok- for two burgers with fries, 2 cokes and a big bowl of onion rings set us back just under 30 quid which is very reasonable for London."
• "Portion sizes are great, burgers automatically come with chips, which in all our opinions was great value for money."
• "I was quite surprised with the price of a meal at Honest Burger, it had cost me £12.90 for a burger, chips and a can. Not bad for a burger joint in Soho!"

Cons:

• "If you want a more classic approach and don’t mind being ripped off, maybe stick to something like Byron, Five Guys or Shake Shack."
• "A little pricy maybe, but worth the experience."
• "Overpriced really..place is small, like their patties..really small."
• "Yes it's a bit more expensive but we'll worth it."
• "Paid about £27 each."
• "However it was also too salty and something was missing."
• "Sadly, if you're a bit on the bigger side, you will feel very uncomfortable as the restaurant is tiny."
