Honest Burgers Bristol Reviews Summary

Service

Pros:

• "The service was superb and quick, the drinks and food came out faster than Rasputia from the hit comedy film Norbit sliding down a water slide."
• "The waiter was so lovely and gave our experience there a really good one!"
• "The service was efficient and friendly."
• "We were greeted by Harley who quickly took us to our table. Grace took our order swiftly and we were served and fed in approx 20 mins."
• "The service at Honest Burger was nice, and the staff were friendly and attentive."
• "Awesome service from Katie. She reminded me that I wanted gluten free."
• "The service was amazing, everyone was extremely helpful and their interactions with customers was on point!"
• "The staff were very warm and friendly (but not too friendly! which can be off putting)."

Cons:

• "After being added the queue it took 10 mins to get the message that our table was ready."
• "However, there was zero interaction for over ten mins, repeated tried to flag the waitress, then a waitress who I assumed was the manager came to take our order."
• "Service a bit on the slow side and didn't feel particularly welcoming but fine."
• "Ordered food, told by waitress burgers come medium, which is okay, not what we are familiar with from london but perhaps assumed it was a bristol specific catering rule."
• "Chicken tenders were fried beyond edible and tiny."
• "After finishing our meal it took over ten mins to try and get the bill."
• "We were told we were sat in 'a restaurant blind spot', the restaurant is open plan and smaller than most london branches, and they were 'one server down'."
• "Don't order via Deliveroo! Hour and a half to arrive via the 1.2 miles."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "It was one of the quieter venues in Bristol in terms of noise - everywhere seems to like playing blaring music so you can't have a decent conversation."
• "There was lots of seating of different kinds - tables, booths, stools, we got a booth and it was comfortable."
• "The venue was clean, hygienic and tidy."
• "The atmosphere was great and the staff were polite, friendly and quick to serve."
• "Very upbeat burger bar with the most enthusiastic and friendly staff."
• "Nice atmosphere, great food, good value."
• "The atmosphere is good if you get a booth, but I get the impression that sitting at one of the tables towards the centre you might not have as nice an experience."
• "The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are very attentive."

Cons:

• "However when it first came out, it was missing the shoestring fries. While this was disappointing, especially since it's the local special."
• "Although the service was good, the atmosphere wasn't really to our taste."
• "Service was pretty quick, as was food. We got sat in a booth when it became available, which was a nice touch. Food itself was a little disappointing though."
• "The food itself was OK but it just wasn't really to our taste, which is our fault for choosing a burger joint."
• "The burgers were not the same standard and the kids burgers were ridiculously tiny... Disappointed."
• "This one in Bristol was unfortunately a bit disappointing. The service was very slow and unfriendly."
• "The food portions are just enough to keep you full, but you can always add £3.5 for an extra beef patty. There is nothing special about this place nor the food."
• "The food is great. Staff are friendly, quick and efficient. I spent £15 on a burger and a half pint of ale here today and it was amazing - it was cooked perfectly, not overcooked but delightfully flavorful."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The burgers are insane so is the gravy. And the portion sizes are very good!"
• "The food was very tasty - except the onion rings which were a bit overdone and a bit too greasy for my liking. The burgers were fantastic."
• "Delicious burger portions with affordable price."
• "The burgers were super tasty and not a bad price at all. They also had locally found ingredients and could make things gluten free, etc."
• "The last burger chain I can think of writing a review for was Burger Priest in Swindon, may it rest in piece, but it pales in comparison to how incredibley delightful this place was."
• "The signature dish at Honest Burgers Bristol is the 'Bristol Burger,' made with locally sourced ingredients from nearby farms."
• "I recently visited Honest Burger restaurant in Bristol and had a satisfying experience overall. The burger I ordered was undeniably delicious."
• "Tasty burger. It looked small, but it was fat, so more burger to bread. Nicely charred. Onion relish, rather than tomato."

Cons:

• "The chips were all rosemary which wasn't too nice and the onion rings had a flavouring that didn't really go with the food."
• "The burgers are nice, but their menu is simultaneously way too showy and complex, and lacking in any of the options that would really get me excited."
• "The chicken tenders were fried beyond edible and tiny. I asked the server who later identified herself as the manager (blonde hair, glasses, mullet) what her opinion was about the tenders and she suggested without prompting that they were inedible."
• "We had two burgers both were not that expensive at around £10 pounds each which included rosemary fries, both were good, service was good and we got our food quickly although the manager disagreed and we got our food for free :-) which was nice although we would of happily paid! As with another reviewer I would like more control over the salt content, and a option to have normal fries without Rosemary would be nice! See you again soon!"
• "Very good burgers and beer! If I'm being picky the fries are not to my liking (too many herbs and a bit greasy) and it's not cheap. BUT I arrived hungry, thirsty and miserable and left full, content and merry!"
• "Absolutely love it. I’ve been several times and every time, everything is great. Staff, food, drinks, just love it. Best burgers in Bristol. Best thing, they never add service charge to the bill. But they deserve a tip every time."
• "Burger was very tasty however chips were cold and tasted like they’d been on the side for ages and the coleslaw was just red cabbage in a small pot. The slaw also tasted awful. For £38 for two burgers and two drinks I expected better."
• "Really tasty burgers and chefs that know their meat. I usually get a medium when I order a medium to rare but here it actually was medium to rare. The staff took some time to get to us with paying, however remained friendly and helpful. The Bristol burger is really good and I loved the fries! Would go again, but not too soon."
