Bayside Burger Bar Ilfracombe in North Devon

Greatest burger I've had! Sailing around you occasionally find hidden gems like this, now it's going to be impossible to sail anywhere near ilfracombe without stopping for a burger. I'm even staying an extra night so I can try another one. Cheers lads 10/10

Look no further for the perfect takeaway to sit on the Quay with....Burgers are just insane!!

Best takeaway in Ilfracombe. Go here and you won't be dissapointed

If you want the best burger in town here it is. Chaps work tirelessly to deliver some amazing food. I’m a massive burger fan & this is by far the best you’ll get, it’s also a very reasonable price, great service a super friendly.

Tried this place and 'oh my lord, absolutely awsome, one of if not the best burgers we've had, needless to say we visited 3 times on our weeks holiday, massive thumbs up from my grandson too , pss, try the beef chilli cheese frys , wow. Top boys give em a try.. Thanks.

Excellent little burger bar close to the harbour, huge burgers with some cracking fillings. They cook them fresh so you place your order and then come back to pick them up (probably 20-30 mins on average I'd guess depending on how busy they are). Not surprised to read they have sold out some nights so get in early.

Not easily impressed but this was the best burger I’ve ever had! Great taste, superb quality and proper service too. So good! Go get one now!

Great tasteing chicken and beef burger and prices not bad either, you do need to order earlier than later as it can take up 40 minutes wait when it is busy.

Outstanding service and OMG the best burger I've eaten. Will 100% eat there again. Fantastic food.

amazing burgers, so much flavour in every bite salt and pepper squid was top notch & the fries where good too! Justin and Paul’s service was friendly, quick and but yet still able to have a laugh, worth every penny and thoroughly enjoyed! would recommend pre ordering as they are very busy (expectedly) would 100% come back!! thank youu

Wow! wow! wow! What can I say, this place is a must. If want great food and feel you have had something to eat go here. One thing I will say grab a hand full of napkins. The service was great Justin and Paul

To be sure the best burger I have probably had. Well done to Justin and Paul, great well made tasty burger. loved it. One thing I will like to make clear to others make sure you have plenty of serviettes, flavour oozes through. Would highly recommend anyone, nah everyone to give them a go. But if you can preorder as these guys are busy.

Fantastic burgers & chips even though they are so much more than that, Everything is cooked so well and to order. No processed foods just proper home made dirty burger goodness cooked to perfection. I loved you can put the order in and have it delivered to the pub to enjoy with your favourite pint. Amazing food, amazing service what more could you ask for?

Great food and portion sizes where proper!

The food was absolutely amazing. I think it was the best burger I have ever had and the size was huge. The staff was lovely and helpful and although we had to wait 35 mins it's just by the harbour so not a bad spot to wait. We paid £40 for 2 kids, teenager and 2 adults, so reasonably priced as well and definitely worth it.

Wow. Just wow! Sometimes, it's difficult to believe when somewhere is reviewed so highly, but the meal we have just eaten was epic. We had a Bayside burger, and 2 x Flamethrower burgers, skin on fries all round, I had salt and chilli chicken strips, and my son had onion rings. We are now trying to find space to fit another visit in to our holiday before we go home! These guys deserve all they get, and I wish them every success! If not this week, we'll be back for sure. 🍔❤️

Great food. But whenever they say they are open online. They are shut. Very frustrating..

Good food, good service. They were happy to chat and share a joke while I waited for my steak roll to be cooked. Mustard mayo was superb. Skin on fries delicious. Highly recommended, even outside holiday season!

Tried bayside burger bar for the first time tonight and the food was lovely. The gentleman who served me was also really nice and friendly. Will 100% be going again and will be a new favourite I think :)

First time trying the food, and certainly was not disappointed. So tasty and well presented. 😋 Fast service

Food is the best in town I do not need to say anything else. Lamb slammers on point, tex mex box is awesome, delivery prompt. Absolutely flawless in every way

Excellent little takeaway where the focus is on amazing quality of food. I can only comment on their Vegan options, namely the Onion Bhaji Burger and the 'Dirty Vegan' which is a seitan based crispy 'chicken' burger. Both are totally amazing (though the Dirty Vegan is our clear favourite), made with love, time and experience. We treat ourselves once a month or so to something from Bayside - and are never disappointed.

This is to Fraz2112 You CANNOT give a 1 star if they are not open! I know for a fact he puts it on Facebook, insta and other pages if he is not open. I used to say to my year 7 Computer group when talking about internet etiquette (these were aged 14) If you can’t say something nice about someone then don’t say anything. You don’t know why these things happen. Ask first then make a decision.

Great little takeaway food is excellent

Just had the Brisket burger special and the Hot Bird. Can't fault it, big dirty burgers, exactly what I wanted. If you like burgers, and I don't just mean a processed Maccas but proper burgers and happen to be in Ilfracombe this place cannot be missed!!!

Excellent burger,tasty and great value.Fast service and Very friendly staff.Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

To die for food, perfectly cooked and seasoned burgers and chips. Very welcoming and inviting staff. Would 100% recommend

Outstanding. That was simply the best Burger, and best loaded fries I’ve ever had. The guys that work there are legends. Friendly and professional, we had a right laugh whilst it was cooking also. I can’t wait to come back and try something else. I had the Parma fries, with the Bayside classic burger with Bacon. Definitely overkill for just me but it all looked so good I couldn’t help it!! Managed most, saving the rest of the fries till I get home, only problem now is I can’t move and I’ve still got deliveries to do 😂😂🤟🤟🤟 Beautiful Food, Thanks guys!!

Absolutly brilliant burger! so good. Thankyou.

Absolutely stunning food!! Thankyou!

I feel I need to put this out there for everyone to see.... Bayside Burger Bar .... by far THE BEST BURGER I have EVER had! We ordered the Bayside Classic & bacon. We were short on time in that we had a theatre performance to get to. I phoned them to order and they gave us an estimated time of 6.30pm. They were spot on. Attention to detail was... well... like I have never experienced before. The only issue I had was that unlike a restaurant where you can discretely use a napkin, I was fully needing a full on microfiber cloth hand and face wash... it was literally "full of flavour"! I mistakenly thought I needed a side of beer battered onion rings.... I can tell you now, I really didn't! A shining example of an awesome independent restaurant

Ordered for 6 of us at 6.45, delivered at 7.30 to our door Had 3 of the specials ( text mex.box ) chicken burger, normal burger and a spicy vegan all with different fries. Every single meal amazing and super hot. Well worth every penny

Burger night for the wife and I. Ordered a Classic Bacon and The Smoke plus a portion of skin-on fries. Had a job to finish it and boy was it good! Best of all it was ready in less than 15 minutes which was just enough time for a pint in the Ship.

Not just another Burger joint… This place is special! Freshly made patties everyday and clearly made with love and a tonne of experience! Seriously the best burger I have ever tasted! So glad I found this place! 😃👌

I ordered the halloumi burger and cheesy chips and they were both delicious. Chips really cheesy throughout not just the top ones. The burger had loads of yummy coleslaw, onions and pickles! Couldn't fault it, really good.

Amazing burgers and loaded fries! Recommend!!

Placed a phone order and food was ready within 20 minutes. Great staff and delicious food! Really good value as well

Quality place. Great food and friendly service.

Absolutely superb burgers and loaded fries, this is definitely how it should be done,outstanding, will definitely be returning for more 10/10

The best burgers around. Highly recommended. Even better that’s it’s a locally ran independent business.

Honestly the best burgers and chips I have ever experienced, they engage in conversations with the customers and make you feel welcomed. Heavenly doesn't even do it justice, please go here and try their menu, it's worth it.

A gem in Ilfracombe. The best burgers ever. Great for a night off cooking. We will be using them again when on hols here.

Some of the best burgers we have had. I’m vege and it was lovely to have some choice on the menu and the Bhaji burger was amazing would 100% recommend. Spicy fries so tasty and not too spicy for kids to enjoy too. Thanks

Lovely staff and a very tasty burger

Brilliant burgers! Cheers guys (you might remember me, the guy with one leg) Five Guys have nothing on you!

10/10 highly recommend this place. We first went here when it originally opened and have been back every time we are in the area… the guy who owns it knows what he is doing when it comes to food! The beef burger is absolutely amazing, we have this with cheese and bacon and the fries we always get with halloumi! The prices here are amazing for what you get and 100% worth the wait as it’s made fresh - go give this a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Unbelievable food, top tier! Philly cheese steak best I've ever had 👌

The food is amazing - one of the best burgers I've had, the loaded chicken burger went down a treat with my wife.

Ate burgers from here several times over the winter I spent in Ilfracombe. Opening times vary so check with the Facebook site and only open in the evenings. All food is cooked fresh (and thus if busy it can take a while) and not listed on Food Apps so you have to collect and thus live local. The only downside for me is that all burgers are cooked with a Broche Bun, inc the Philly Cheese Steak which would normally be served in a French baguette-style bread roll elsewhere. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

What a great place. I think you can always tell when someone with a catering business loves what they do, and that's what comes through with the food here. 'Hey, if you're going to make burgers, make the best burgers you possibly can,' seems to be the philosophy here. If you're in the area, treat yourself.

Stopped in for a cheeky nibble on an evening out, oh my gosh. The flavours were just amazing. Quality guys in there too who took great care of us. Can not wait to order some more... chilli loaded fries 😍

Me and my wife our down for holidays. We get the kids down to sleep for 7ish. We take a look on Google to see what takeaways are around. We find this place. Amazing. One of the burgers I've had in my life. And my wife's chicken berger. She took one bite and couldn't take her eyes off it and didn't say a word to me. Great thing you got going here guys. Keep it up! 🍔

Just tried Bayside Burger for the first time and wish we’d done it sooner… the Vegan Onion Bhaji burger was amazing.. fresh, tasty and really great quality. Highly recommend - a great takeaway. I hope they continue to offer more and more exciting Vegan options

This burger bar puts the special in special of the day! Not to be missed, if you’re visiting Ilfracombe, treat yourself!

Ventured down to the harbour tonight and stumbled upon the bayside burger. Absolutely fantastic take away food! We had the Philly cheese steak bun and BBQ chicken burger, loaded fries and Salt n Pepper squid. Great high quality ingredients, well seasoned and perfect portion size! Couldn’t fault any of it we cleared our plates and will likely visit again before we leave! A must visit when you’re in Ilfracombe! A*

We sat outside the pub opposite and noticed a constant stream of happy people leaving this place so we thought we would try it OMG I love a good burger and this place put all the big chain burger establishments to shame It was a taste sensation We went every night till the end of our holiday and they were consistently amazing and very filling You have to try this place and support a small local enterprise This place is amazing

Best burger I’ve ever had, we loved it’s so much we went again the following day Paul and Jack gave great service and our order was ready fast the best takeaway we have ever had in Combe! A must try!

Unassuming from the outside and inside, hides an Amazing burger bar. Probably the best meal in Ilfracombe. One of the few places where the food looks like the picture. Burgers were massive and meaty. Chips crispy and wings tasty. Heartily recommended. Really reminded me of the burgers in New Orleans...

Absolutely phenomenal food and service from Paul - if you are in Ilfracombe and you’re thinking what to have - you really won’t regret ordering from Bayside Burgers. When visiting family in Devon this is our go-to treat dinner. Very understanding of allergies, and couldn’t do more for you. The Onion Bhaji burger was 10/10! Genuinely couldn’t fault it if I tried. Would recommend to anyone.

Great people running the shop, very friendly and helpful. Steak sandwich was amazing, steak beautifully cooked with plenty of toppings. The other 2 had the burgers which both said they were some of the best burgers they have ever had. Also tried the salt and chilli wings which were lovely and fantastic portion size. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

We came here from southampton had the big smoke, squid and steak roll Well...they are the best succulent juiciest burgers weve ever had!! both guys are full of banter and we felt welcomed..spot on food we deffinately coming back here again.

Best burger in town, we love Bayside's food

Amazing food, the best burger I have eaten.

I visited Bayside Burger bar due to the reviews, and I must admit by far the best burger I have ever had the pleasure to eat. Friendly owner great service and amazing food if I could give it more stars I would cheers for great service and amazing food.

Quality! I think you would need to go to America to find a better burger and still might not be possible. Nice guys that run here, generous size food portions. I for sure will return 🙂

Great burgers well worth visiting.

brilliant food and polite staff;will definitely be back!

I had the flamethrower and a side of wings, brilliant burger and the wings were really good.

Fantastic freshly cooked food using local ingredients. Highly recommended! 👌😋

The best burger place in town! The foods been perfect everytime I've had it.

Amazing food, value for money, polite friendly staff. They deserve to do really well. Highly recommend

Best burgers around. Hands down.

First time visit on 09/12/22 and will be back. Great to watch the Cheif prepare your food with skill using fresh ingredients which justify the relatively high cost, but you get what you pay for. Clean taste of real quality.

really nice staff, good prices too!

Great local food, prepared by a great che!

It's lovely! Every Sunday they sell a lamb burger with chilly chips. It's deliciously dirty and you can get a lot of things! I recommend going here.

Burgers are top notch. Really friendly and speedy service will come again when back in Ilfracombe

Amazing customer service! Me and my partner ate here while on a get-away and the guys were super helpful and really friendly. My partner has a yeast intolerance so can't have bread, the guys were really accommodating and offered her a deconstructed version instead. The only thing better than the customer service was the food itself, I had the 'Flamethrower' burger and the 'Salt & Chili' wings. The sauce on the burger was the hero. The spicy flavor of the sauce mixed so well with the sweetness of the pickles, it was incredible. The taste was strong enough to enjoy but not over power the rest of the ingredients. Overall, it was an amazing burger. You can tell a lot of love went into crafting these recipes.

Burgers were very well cooked and beautiful! Chips were well done same with the bacon. Lovely guy very kind and hard-working, me and my grandad were speaking to him. If i ever come back to devon i will DEFO getting here first!

Took mrs and kids to this beautiful little burger bar on the last night of our stay in Ilfracombe (wish I had taken them on the first night because we would have all eaten there every night of our stay!) The kids burgers were delicious apparently (eldest daughter had the chicken burger..also amazing!) but we had the Philly Cheese steak burgers and..I’ve not anything better in my mouth!! Melt in the mouth steak, oozing with sauce and the fried onions were phenomenal! The chips were delicious, you get just the right amount! Great value for money! The 2 guys serving were awesome, you can tell they’re passionate about what they serve which is SO rare these days. If you ever want to open a franchise here in Milton Keynes …LET ME KNOW!! 11/10!

Best burgers we've had for a long time. Lots of flavour - we each had something different - cheese burger, burger with bacon, chicken burger and the kids cheese burger. Would definitely recommend 🍔

I love there chilli cheese chips 🍟 Absolute favourite so far

Just had the buttermilk chicken burgers with fries and onion rings, I can safely say that’s one of best burgers I’ve ever had! Highly recommend 👍

Wonderful burger, highly recommend 👍

Open late and serves amazing fresh burgers and chips made from high quality ingredients. Lovely guy running it. 10/10

We had a delicious burger, was quite something! Fries also good and very friendly staff!

Great burgers, friendly staff, freshly cooked to order!

Just come and eat. 5 stars on EVERYTHING I had from there last night.

One the best burgers I’ve had 🍔highly recommend the cheesy chips as well

Awesome burgers cooked perfectly and ready within 10 minutes. Can you ask for more? I think not 😍🍔😍🍔😍🍔😍🍔

Best burgers we have ever had, and lovely location close to the beautiful harbour. Would recommend the big smoke and the halloumi burgers. Skin on fries were also perfect! Definitely worth a visit!

I had a burger and cheesy fries from here on my first night visiting Ilfracombe, just grabbing a bite to eat as most places were not serving food anymore. The food here is absolutely phenomenal, you can tell that the chef has put love into his cooking. I wish I’d taken a picture to show now but I was caught up in just enjoying it, and besides a picture wouldn’t do it justice. It was easily one of the best burgers I’d ever had - and I’m visiting from Bristol which itself has a pretty amazing burger scene. The cheesy chips were also delicious, would thoroughly recommend and will be getting again on my next visit 11/10.
