Bleecker St. Burger in City of London, Westminster

I remember having Bleeker St burger 10+ years ago when they first launched and I loved it. Either they've gone way downhill, this site isn't up to scratch, or my memory was just false. The burger was EXTREMELY rare (I selected "medium" rather than well done but this was not even medium-rare, just plain rare. Very red and very bloody.) Luckily I don't mind rare meat but it was definitely a bit too red and a bit too soggy, the bun disintegrated whilst the onions were still hard and raw. Weird combo. Burger was still a nice juicy texture though, but definitely a little blander than I expected and nothing outstanding. The angry fries were super disappointing. The blue cheese was such a tiny amount you could barely taste it over the hotsauce and after the first small layer of fries there was no sauce at all so I just had a box of soggy plain fries that cost me more than a fiver. All in all not worth the price at all. Much better, bigger, more flavoursome burgers available in London these days. Either the competition was weak 10 years ago or they've let standards slip. Only marginally more satisfying than mcdonalds for 3x the price.

I have just heard about this place and now I tried it and I feel this is the best burger ever😋and the fries are perfectly cooked. Must try milk shake is strawberry shake

Lives up to the hype! I do a lot of food reviews on social media and while I was in London This was one of the most commented places I should try. I can safely say that it lived up to the hype! Very fast service and good quality ingredients.definitely worth a try!

Best burger I’ve had in London. Particular highlight is the taste of the beef - it really tastes like it’s been matured.

Don't get the hype it was a really bland burger. Baffled me how many people think this is the best burger in London.

One of the best cheeseburgers in London. Buns seem to be shrinking though.

Patty taste good. Can’t really comment on the ‘service’ as the food was ordered on the computer counter. Didn’t try the milkshake and fries but looks good too.

Excellent burger, delicious meat and helpful staff!

I found my burger last night super wet, like in need of multiple napkins afterwards. The blue cheese sauce came solidified together and wasn’t suitable to dip into - so not entirely sure the point of it. Best of luck to Bleecker but I won’t be returning.

Simple but delicious burger, definitely lives up to the hype! Fries are great as well

Definitely recommend this place!

Great food!!! 🤩🤩 If you are hungry I would advise you to get the double cheeseburger. Food is cooked on the spot, so if there is queue you will need to wait, but totally worth waiting, it’s just an incredible tasty burger. The staff is friendly and helpful if you need help with the ordering screen. Definitely the best burgers in London 🤤. Will come back and recommend this place!

Yum burger and crispy fries, will come back again!!

I came to the market for the first time and I was looking for something to eat. I want burger. I WAS THE MOST AMAZING BURGER IVE EVER TRIED! 10/10 five star rating, you have to try it!! I love there oreo milkshake.. amazing 👏

Ultra slow and prioritising the delivery guys making it worse. The burger is just a grease and salt pile in a wet bun. The fries cold. Very poor

The Burgers are all delicious and milkshakes are tasty and fresh,the service of your boys are all good and friendly atmosphere, I will suggest to my friends too Finally the food was soo delicious 😋 .

Simply the best burger I've ever had

Their burger tastes really good 👍, next time I'm in that community, I'm.gonna buy some and buy for my friends and family ...Nice environment and smiley attendants... ☺️ weldon guys...👍

Amazing food friendly staff House fries are very tasty Will visit again for sure 🙌

Burger was cooked perfectly, fries is crispy. Very friendly staff, I will definitely come back again!

Honestly, for a burger and fries priced at £17.95, I was expecting a lot more. First in the service: I saw the box of fries sat on the counter for a full 7 minutes before the burger was ready, so they were cold by the time I got them. Then the burger itself: basically it's just very greasy, incredibly salty, and had gristle in the patty.

Burger was absolutely over salted! Bun was to small. Fries soggy. No recommended this place

I live in Manchester and having seen bleeker voted for consistently on the Topjaw instagram account, I had to see what the hype was about! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and have to echo previous reviews - the burger is small. Reminded me of a Wimpy from back in the day (in size not quality)! It was tasty, but not worth the hype. Certainly not better than Five Guys or even Burgerism in Manchester, which is still top draw. I'm glad I tried it but won't rush back before trying other spots in London.

Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with my burger today. Having seen some amazing reviews, my wife and I decided to give these guys a try. I absolutely love a blue cheese burger, which I consider the pinnacle of the burger world. However, I thought the burger was a bit small for the price, and while it was delicious and perfectly cooked, it lacked the wow factor. The blue cheese was good but not great, and the chips, though perfectly cooked, could have used some decent salt. My wife ordered the cheeseburger well done (a crime against humanity), but it came medium (as it should be!). Maybe the chef staged an intervention! All in all, I’m not sure if the quality and quantity matched the price, so I doubt I’ll be back.

Yet to find a better smash burger in London.

Famous for a reason! Just try it

Oh man, what a disappointment: ridiculously small burgers, hardly any toppings, taste a bit like McDonalds. Unfortunately it's a joke for the money. Fries were ok but if £15 doesn't fill you up...

Wanted to try Bleeker burger for so long now, and the burgers didn't disappoint. They were juicy and delicious. The fries were disappointing though, not very crispy and a bit limp. I also had the vanilla milkshake, and it was fantastic. Best burger in London? Maybe, it's certainly up there.

Have been here multiple times over the years and the quality isn't there anymore, the burgers just aren't as nice. The patty feels processed and is small with too much bun to meat ratio. Cooking of it seems inconsistent as sometimes get some juicy and sometimes overcooked and dry. Don't want to return anymore if they dont improve as there lots of other better burger places now in London

When Bleeker gets it right, I'd argue it's the best burger in London but it's far too inconsistent for the money they charge. The fries are always bad, and expensive for what you get. Honest include the fries with the burger and they are ten times better. These were £4.75 and limp, stale and lacking in seasoning and it's not the first time they are like that. The burger... When it's good, it's the best tasting and cooked burger in London even if it is small. Tonight, it was just a bit of a mess. arrived looking like a messy cheap fast food burger. the taste was good but they really need to work on the details. Charging £15 for a burger and fries from a takeaway window is a lot so you need to have really high standards and you can see from the reviews how hit and miss it is. Honest burgers isn't quite as good but it's just so consistent. It shows them how you should do it.

The grill chef must be master as it was cooked at perfection!! deffo coming back soon

Burgers are good but very small. Overall definitely not worth it.

Of all the burgers we tried in London, Bleecker impressed us the most

I came by today on my lunch break and had the best burger in the UK! The lady at the counter named Carine, who was really friendly, helped me understand what makes the burgers so special. After a great explanation I was insistent on leaving a review. My bacon cheese burger was fresh, juicy and full of taste. Now add on the food served with a smile, bleecker have a winning formula. :)

The burger was absolutely spot on, cooked perfectly but most of all the grill chef who said his name was Marco was so funny and friendly! Would recommend you go visit Marco for a perfectly cooked burger and friendly service in the heart of Spitalfields market! Thanks again 😁

First things first, the burger in itself which comprises the quality and richness is exquisite. No question about it, the reason being which the food is 4 stars. As a person on a very strict diet most of the months I found this burger to be more on the salty side. Perhaps because of the bacon. It must be okay if you eat fast food often. The staff were doing their job and were respectful. The reason for Bleeker Burger not to have that 4 stars is the price. Apparently, it is very overpriced due to which I myself witnessed so many people pass-by, hesitate to buy. It would be perfect if they would reduce it by a pound or two and honestly they would make better sales than they do now. Also there is no designated seating for the restaurant available at this particular outlet as it is in a market. It is more like a takeaway and you must help yourself find a place somewhere to sit and savour this incredible goodness.

Bleecker - one of the most hyped burgers in London. They proudly displayed their ‘Best Burger 2023’ logo outside, and so the excitement for my first bite was palpable. The reality was a little disappointing. Whilst certainly a good burger, it was nowhere near the best I’ve had. I got the blue, and my gf got the veggie burger which she loved. The blue burger was a little flat, and sad, whilst tasty, and the fries soggy and cold. The service at the restaurant too was pretty awful, and definitely not people who cared about the food or service. I would be willing to try it once more, but overall not massively impressed.

Good solid juicy cheeseburger! Quality of meat stands out.

Review update - Excellent customer support! I had a problem with my order and it was treated with a lot of care and respect. We gave it a second try and I’m happy to say their burgers are fabulous, shakes were delicious and fries were just the same. In a city like London it’s amazing to see a trendy company actually caring about their clients and elevating our experience beyond expectations. Congratulations to the Bleecker team on their beautiful service! You deserve all the stars! I just had the most frustrating experience after ordering some burgers, fries and milkshakes to celebrate my partner’s birthday. The burgers were so small that for a second we thought it was kids menu. But the worst was to come as the fries were nothing but literally left overs!!! It was all burned and TRULY broken in hard small pieces. The shake was melted and thinner than water… It’s absolutely shameful that this place chargers so much and simply offers no quality! I honestly felt embarrassing for giving it a try. Highly DON’T recommend it!

Overcooked, dry and VERY salty burgers. Five guys is easily better than this. Don’t bother going, this place is extremely overhyped. On top of that servers are rude and make it known that they do not want to be there. Avoid.

The simplest citizen in the world but simply delicious and ingenious. You just can't stop eating. Also suitable for allergy sufferers.

I’ve always sworn by Bleeker for having the best burgers in London. But today, even though the burger was still top-notch, the chips were almost the worst I’ve ever had. And to make matters worse, when I mentioned it to the bloke who served me, he just raised an eyebrow and turned his back without a word. This is only the second review I’ve ever written for a restaurant. After defending Bleeker as the best burger spot in London for years to all my mates, I feel completely insulted and disrespected. Either the owner isn’t paying the staff properly and they hate him for it, or they’ve made so much money they no longer care about the quality of the food. I doubt this comment will make any difference, but maybe it’ll save a few people their money.

Best burger I’ve ever had. Not even close. And I’m a fat lad. I’ve had loads of burgers.

New refurbished store has opened, inside Spitalfields market! Delicious burgers and tasty fries. I had a cheeseburger and the angry fries which had delicious buffalo sauce on them. Quite expensive, but this is a place you need to try at least once!

Had a plain cheeseburger for dinner and although the meat was good I could’ve used more than just a slice of onion inside especially for the price. Fries with the burger sauce and hot sauce were good; they are double fried so nice and crispy. To drink I had their ice tea lemonade and it was warm…the whole point of me choosing that was to cool off on a hot summer day so it tasted good but wasn’t satisfying.

Burger tasted amazing and was red and juicy inside. Fries couldve been better and with more sauce. Double burger was about £13 which is quite expensive. Also got a milkshake for £6.50 which wouldve been good if it was £2

Very average for the price. Wouldn’t recommend.

Can't get what the hype is about! We ordered 6 burgers, 2 house fries and one normal fries. We asked for all the burgers to be well-done. None were well done and it was too crowded for us to even go back and complain. The patties were too thin and the portions were too small for the price. The fries were really small-cut potatoes. felt like the left-over fries rather than freshly-made ones. Overall it was really disappointing. Don't think we would give it a second try.

Food was great, burgers perfectly cooked and freshly made albeit slightly on the smaller side. Chips tasty indeed. Had to wait a short while for food but overall very good.

Thought it would be a bigger establishment. Burger sauce was weird tasting, burger was too greasy. Didn't live up to expectations.

Absolutely delicious burger. I sort of wish id ordered two. Fries with spicy sauce and blue cheese were so tasty too.

It was one of the best burgers I've ever had. A little small in size, 1 of them will definitely not be satisfying

Better than other Bleecker Burger locations but not the best burger. The burger buns are too soft, the burger isn’t particularly filling, felt hungry shortly after eating it. The fries are way too overly salty, like an entire bottle of salt put on them. Took ages for the burger to be ready as well.

I recently visited the "new" Bleecker Spitalfields and unfortunately, it was a letdown. The staff seemed unhappy and unengaged, which set a negative tone for the entire visit. When our food arrived, it was disappointing. I received what can only be described as fries leftovers, consisting of tiny burnt pieces. My friend was "luckier" with slightly bigger fries, but they were absolutely soggy.The Bleecker burgers were the worst I've ever tasted from this chain. The buns were under-toasted and the patties were crispy, far from the quality I've come to expect from their Bloomberg or Victoria locations. Overall, it was a deeply unsatisfactory experience. Less screens, better food please.

Honestly the most over rated burger of all time. The meat patties taste like a burger van patty. The bun was completely wet, the patty was flavourless. The chips weren’t full sized chips they were like the end small bits at the bottom of a bag. The nicest thing was the house sauce but still…. MEH - so many better places. There was non existent customer service and the guy at the counter lifted my bun to see what it was with his bare hands. Just not what I expected as “London’s best burger” definitely not the best burger. I wouldn’t have it twice.

Amazing Burgers as always, juicy patte meat, friendly staff and amazing taste of delicious burgers. Taste that worth every single penny 💵

I have ordered cheese burger, I really enjoyed the food.Staff is very friendly ✌🏻

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bleecker Burger in London is phenomenal! Their double cheeseburger is perfection—juicy, flavorful patties with melted cheese that hits the spot every time. Fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, and friendly staff make it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

My expectations on the burger is perfectly met with juicy patties😋 and house fries are very tasty. Got the burger on time even though the environment looks busy. A must place to visit every week as it is close to my work place😍

I ordered bacon double cheeseburger and it was very juicy and i loved it. It was best burger I ever had it .

Edible burgers, but as a whole nothing short of average. Doesn’t deserve the internet hype it gets. High price point for average food too.

Seriously good burger and friendly staff!

Not sure why it took 20 mins to get a burger when there were no burgers on the grill. Staff seemed more intent on faffing around with stickers and packaging rather than put my burger on the grill. Can’t be bothered attitude. Best burger in the Uk definitely not. Wet and flavourless pattie. Very disappointed

Food Poisoning 🤢🚨🚨🚨Warning❗️ Me and my girlfriend had bacon cheeseburgers with french fries there and we both go really sick 🤢🤮🤮 I don't recommend it - i had to throw up and take activated charcoal to be able to fall asleep at least by the morning- very bad experience! And i payed £15 for that burger with fries - I could have the same not in a kiosk but in a proper cafe with more sanitary conditions!

Best burgers in London hands down

Service was quick but burger was very greasy and the flavour was salt more than anything. It was OK but overpriced for the quality.

I went to lunch and it was super hectic. The market is rammed and it was confusing at first to even get close enough to figure out the large group were all waiting to collect, not waiting to order. Finally got a chance to visit here after seeing a variety of ads online. Overall it is a good burger. Definitely get the double patties as I think I would be starving after having just a single. The double is not super filling either but does the job. I had to take this on a 15 minute walk back to the office so the burger kind of steamed and sat in its own juices a bit too long whilst in the box making it a bit soggy, but that's my fault. House fries were really good tbf with a generous and tasty serving of some sort of house sauce. My only real complaint, like most things these days is the price is quite high. I paid about £18 or so for a burger and chips without a drink which just seems a bit mental. But as pointed out in other review responses they do use higher quality ingredients. I love that this is only the 2nd place in London that asked me how I wanted my patty cooked (medium or well done).

Definitely one of the top 3 burgers in London.

Worst fries I’ve ever eaten and a well done burger that was very pink. Would never order again

Unfortunately underwhelmed. After watching and listening to the reviews. I was in fact looking forward to it. Cheese bacon burger was ok but unfortunately just that. I expected something great from the images but it looked like someone pressed on it too hard and was rushed. The chips are even worse they were the length of a tooth pick. I will return hoping for something better next time I come to London 😫

Having travelled up from Wiltshire for a few days in the City a trip to Bleecker was on the list. We'd seen the reviews & recommendations on social media on many occasions so waited to be blown away, sadly we felt more like deflated balloons ! Firstly this may not be down to the Bleeckers staff but I did not appreciated being approached for money by a homeless chap whilst trying to order my lunch, I found it a little intimidating but except that this may well be common place thing in London & the staff did not ask him to stop bothering their customers waiting to either order or collect food, & it's just my own opinion. Now for the experience! Ordering was reasonably simple from a key pad, but did take me a minute or two to suss out, but again little interaction was offered from the staff in way of assistance. Food ordered I waited to collect, there was no acknowledgment to me about my food order & the 3 FOH staff were more interested in arranging their holiday dates with a laptop! Both burgers boxed & ready & then I seemed to wait ages for the fries (wish I hadn't bothered!) We grabbed a table & unwrapped our food hurriedly in anticipation & that's where the ballon deflated!! The burger wasn't very hot, the patties were very nicely cooked but the bun & the cheese???? For that kind of premium burger I thought the bun tasted cheap & nasty, pappy & no substance & why use cheap orange cheese slices?? And then the fries.......soggy, green chips of potato, not hot even though we had to wait for them, I felt rather disappointed after all the hype but sorry Bleeckers I'll stick to 5 guys!

One of the best burgers I've had.

Very disappointed after hearing such rave reviews about Bleecker, including claims that it was the "best burger in London". I ordered the blue burger (with bacon) and a side of angry fries, totalling to around £16. For approx. £11 the burger was pathetic - the single patty barely filled the bun and the rest of the fillings were completely tasteless. The angry fries were equally disappointing - the fries were tiny and burnt to a crisp, as well as being drenched in hot sauce with no spice at all and an overwhelming tase of vinegar. This is a take-away stand in Spitalfields market so service and atmosphere are essentially non-existent, which would have been made up for if the food was worth the hype. At this price point the food is a joke, when places like Honest are offering substantially better burgers at a lower price point.

My girlfriend and I have ordered many times from home and from their Spitalfields Shop and I can honestly say the burgers always taste amazing. HOWEVER the milkshakes. On three separate occasions now we have ordered from Bleecker and the milkshakes have been undrinkable. The milk used is clearly out of date and tastes disgustingly sour. PLEASE check the milk used by date in future. From opening the bag you can smell the off milk and I even taste it for a moment just to be sure. (Sour and off) Don’t get me wrong sometimes the shakes taste nice and normal but 3rd time it’s happened now I won’t be ordering again! Id give more stars because the food is great but out of date milk is a no for me. Bro likes a shake with the burger (best part)🍔

Juicy and flavorful. Hard to go wrong with this burger.

I had been looking forward to try the burgers here at Bleecker after hearing about them. But unfortunately I was disappointed with the burger, service and pricing. It was nothing wrong with the flavor of the burgers, but nothing special. And why are they so small? Like really small for that price? I can understand that the quality is at its finest but yeah. And the service, it didn’t seem to be a line because we came kinda late but still had to wait a long time for the food.

frequently rated as the best burger in London, i simply had to try it. I ordered just a normal cheeseburger and angry house fries which come at a whopping £14. The food was delicious and I can see why some people say they do the best burger, however, the burger felt so tiny for how much i paid for and finished it within 6 bites. Good food, but not so great value.

The bread and meat were very delicious. We felt the burger tasted great with its light bread and sauces. However, I must say that the portions are a little small. Additionally, the dining areas are small and not suitable for cold weather.

One of the top burgers in London! Very tasty juicy burger and the bun was perfect 👌

Probably the best burger I've eaten in my life! The bread is airy and does not spoil the taste of the juicy meat!

If you like burgers and you come to London you should definitely come to this place to try them, they are very good. They don't come with potatoes, you order them separately and they come in a good portion, we also ordered an Oreo shake which is also very good, very different from others I've tried. I would repeat many times.

Honestly. I actually think this is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in London. Don’t even bother wasting your time with the single patty, double or nothing. The burger literally melts in your mouth, the bun super soft n sweet & the meat is juicy and crispy on the edges. The price shocked me(£14 for double bacon burger), but I get it sigh. Expensive but life is for living

Genuinely one of the best burgers I’ve had in London! It has something to do with beef and bacon, but I can’t remember the exact name. It was juicy and rich and tasty! Absolutely worth a shot of you love burgers!

one of the best burgers in town. the only one I think is better is black bear burger. their patty is juicy and flavorful.

Not worth the hype Multiple guys or honest better in my opinion. OK but wish I’d gone to one of them 🍔 Sonos speaker on counter need replacing it’s clearly seen better days .

Food was great as always, but no real organisation, my order came way after the 10 people who order after me. Better to order home for this branch

You have two options, order Deliveroo and it will turn up cold or wait in the cold for 30 minutes after ordering in person while they load up thousands of delivery orders before you. I had to go up to chase my order as someone who ordered 10 mins after me got theirs. Black Bear or beer and burger it is then.

Best burger in London- hands down! My go-to Sunday Deliveroo order

Bleecker is to burgers what Christopher Nolan is to films. Plenty of hype, but worthy. Understated but blockbuster. Not for everyone, but if you have a brain you buy tickets to the Premier.

Burger was raw, ordered well done as can’t eat undercooked meat, also personal preference taste wise for burgers. I hope this was a one off mistake as had high hopes for Bleeker. Also wasn’t impressed by the food on the floor of the kitchen. Will try another branch.

The Burgers from Bleeker are going to be one of the best, tastiest burgers you'll have in London. Toasted bun, onion, cheese and a patty cooked to your choice. The execution was perfect. I recommend going for a double because it really fills those buns. I had to give 3 stars to the atmosphere because that really falls down to this location. Seating is difficult to come by when it's busy as Spitalfields is packed with food vendors. That's all.

They won ‘London’s best burger’ for a reason - simple burger that relies on the perfect combination of things: perfectly toasted seeded buns, filthy cheese, and juicy grilled dry-aged beef. The fries could be better but really the burger alone was more than satisfying.

I ate here as I seen a lot hype around Bleecker Burger and that it's the best burger in London, I have to be honest, it was fine, I've enjoyed a Five guys more though and I'd say value for money as expensive as five guys is its better value for money! For what I got I thought it was expensive bacon cheeseburger (single), fries and a beer and that was just over £20. Chips/fries were pretty bad too, like bullets, had no seasoning on them either. Service really is where this place left me wanting more though. I placed my order, my 2 friends did so too, orders 177, 178 & 179. Mine for reference was 177, I was last to get my burger and fries by a few minutes as they didn't have fries ready! But not only did my friends get theirs first so did orders 180,181, 182 & 183!!! All of which ordered burger and fries. Whilst waiting for my fries my burger sat on the counter getting cold. Small things really do add up, and when there's so much excellent choice in Spitalfields market I really wouldn't waste your time eating here.

At time of writing, the best burger in London, for me Clive.

Come for the burger. Go to five guys for the fries 🤣

Nothing too special for the house fries. Blue cheese burger is good but might be better to have some veg in it for different texture

Absolutely the biggest sh-show I've ever seen. Appalling staff. Appalling system to take orders via a touchscreen that doesn't work and a payment system that crashes. The burgers are good but not worth the hassle.

One of the best burger around, defo be going back. Way more substantial then the now common smash burger which I'm not a fan of and they are overpriced. This burger is more substantial better value for money, can have then cooked medium so are perfect basically in every way. Only issue is all the delivery drivers who are rude and block the counter and ordering machine. When I asked him to move, after he pushed in front of me to the counter, to the side where no order machines were and clearly the pick up area he continued to be rude and get in the way and in my face more. The server didnt say anything or pipe up to help the situation and direct him to the correct area.

The food was really good and the service was fast. It was a little odd not having the option of adding pickles to a burger. Also, in terms of service, there is no interaction with the staff aside from handing over the bag of food. Good burgers and very good fries overall!

Slow service for a nice burger. But could be bigger for the price and chips were mediocre.
