Burger & Lobster in City of London, Westminster

Had a really good experience here. Waiting staff were lovely, place is beautiful and happy hour oysters being £1 each is such a bargain that we ate 24 each!

Night out with work colleagues. I had the whole lobster grilled and a catalan salad. Both were very good. Reasonable price. It was a Monday night so not that busy but can imagine it is later in the week. My colleagues all had the combo including burgers and rolls. All looked nice. Hoping to go again and try a combo myself.

With a business colleague we’d walked past B&L many times and always commented about how nice the bar looked. So we booked the other night & we were not disappointed. Best server ever in Yaz, helped us choose & a lesson in dismantling the lobster. Food was so extremely tasty and great quality, good wine selection and all very good value for what & where you are eating. Will be back.

Visited in the week with a friend after drinks nearby, at 730pm was disappointed to be told they were full by an obviously stressed manager, so quickly used the toilet, however on my return then recognised as a regular by a server an area was found at the bar for my friend and I, after this service was faultless, drinks were plentiful and chilled, food sublime, especially the Lobster rolls, which you must try! the Wagu croquettes starter a close second, my special thanks to Roberto for the service and Nayara for moving heaven and earth to find us a space, it was much appreciated!

Got the Beast burger With lobster. Tasty and the meat was ok. French fries though not what I would expect (prefried??). A bit pricey also for the size of the burger. Service was cordial and impeccable.

Me and my Wife visited as we were in London for a Concert. We shared the Combo for 2 which was amazing!! Staff were extremely friendly, service was quick and the food was worth every penny. Wouldn’t hesitate returning in the future. 👍🏻

Best burger I have tasted, the overall meal was fab (shared a combo). They also found my wallet and called my son (who made the reservation) to advise. As I live miles away they kindly posted it to me and quickly. Thank you Katia and the Team. What a great outcome x

Really good menu & food serving was very good. It has high ceilings so noisy which is why I choose friends as the category of choice. Beast burger was really good in fairness

Disappointing - on arrival was asked if i could have the allergy menu and was told they didn't have one and the server would be able to help. not filled with confidence. This listing claimed they have gluten free options - this is simply not true. No gluten free bread, chips/fries are cooked in contaminated oil. Servers didnt know whether condiments were gluten or dairy free. I order oysters as a starter, because they were happy hour £1 each. Trouble is the kitchen hadn't learned how to shuck them properly. All six were full of broken shell, some were shredded (this happens when the oyster knife doesn't make a clean cut) I had the Lobster & Burger Combo - very tasty and very well cooked , although the beaf patty was on the small side - could've been bigger given they saved on the bun!

Locale ampio, stile americano, come anche il menu, misto carne e pesce. Servizio attento e veloce, molto buoni i gamberoni in tempura e le aragoste alla griglia. Buona scelta di vini. Un plauso particolare al cameriere italiano, mi sfugge il nome, molto attento e cortese

a superb welcome with Yoann and his team. a warm, professional and so pleasant welcome! We had a great time with our children! THANKS

Visited with as a group of 5 and had an excellent time. Venue was tasteful and spacious, food was superb and reasonably priced. Would absolutely return and recommend.

Horrible experience. Lunch time very busy. We did not have a reservation, so had to wait 40 minutes for a table, but sat at the bar and ordered drinks whilst waiting. Kiyah took our order and had great customer service and waiting. 5 * to her. I ordered an oyster which was tasty and different and b and l combo- chips and lobster tasted good with the Holy F***k spicy sauce, salad was yummy (spinach, dried beetroot and parmesan with pomegranate sauce) but the burger was not great. Upstairs was clean, toilet was downstairs (alot of stairs to get to it), one toilet was leaking and the rest was clean. After I had two bites into the burger i started to feel hot, sweating belly hurting and nauseous. I had to run to the toilet to vomit. Asked to speak to the manager Ramya and she was adamant it was NOT the food and it was what I ate at home. Was not sympathetic to even offer water just the ambulance to cover themselves and was only talking about the temperatures and standards of all the foods and how many branches there are. As seeing from the amount of reviews I have done I go out to eat alot and have never experienced this in my life. Very disappointed that I spent all that money (£56) on a meal with drinks and leaving unsatisfied and sick. Table spent £299

Visited Burger & Lobster for the first time as a little treat lunch for my mum's birthday. I was expecting the food to be yummy (it was!) but wasn't expecting such good service. Our waitress was really lovely, and I hugely appreciated that they brought out a complementary creme brulee with a candle in it for my mum. I'd let them know it was her birthday ahead of time but this was still a lovely surprise. It's not a cheap place to eat but for a special occasion a worthwhile treat! A special thank you to our waitress who was lovely.

I visited yesterday with my friend (24th), it seemed very nice and the staff were very accommodating when I asked for a plain bun with my burger as I was allergic to sesame seeds, and kindly gave us some extra in our glass each of Prosecco, but when we had the starters (calamari and the lobster croquettes) which were extremely nice, I obviously took too long (I am a very slow eater and need to chew everything and have a sip of water to wash down at least every other mouthful), that they came to the table and the waitress said “I am taking your plate as we have your meals here”, my friend said “but she is still eating” and the waitress then ignored her, I through down my knife and fork on the plate and my friend repeated her question, to which she was ignored again. The main meals were then put in front of us and we were asked if we would like anything else and I asked for mayonnaise. After that the waiter could not do too much for us, (would I like more water, would I like ketchup etc), but by then I was too put out and after mucking about with my burger ended up eating just the gherkin, tomato and onion, as I was not yet ready to take on a full meal and would like to have finished my starter first! My friend’s meal was absolutely delicious, but personally for me my burger was inedible and a waste of money, I ended up wrapping the burger meat and fries in tissue and taking it home for the cats and the birds, so my money was not completely wasted. Why were we rushed? The restaurant was at least half empty, so it is not like they were waiting for the tables? £107.83 later which had the cheek to included £12.83 SERVICE FEE! My friend did give the waiter who gave us the bill some advice not too rush people, as not everyone is a quick eater, and he had the cheek to say “We will remember that for next time” to which I replied “There will not be a next time”. So my advise if you are a slow eater or just want a leisurely meal after a lovely day out is ‘FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE’

Came for a catch up dinner with a friend. Food was amazing as usual, but service was exceptional. Everyone we spoke to was wonderful, but a special mention has to go to our waitress Lolley- she was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and just genuinely fantastic- a real credit to the restaurant!!

Awful. Food was decent but the service was appalling. We had a reservation for a table of 6, there were no tables available so they sat us at a table of 4. Took ages to bring over the required cutlery and glasses. Brought the wrong sauce the meal and took far too long to bring the correct. I don’t mind the mistakes but the attitude of the service was really disappointing.

Had the sharing combo. It was excellent. Great fries. Staff were excellent. Good value. Will come here again.

Food was great, lovely atmosphere - relaxed and friendly. Good kids menu including lobster and chips! Service great - quick and very welcoming to kids.

Visited with four friends yesterday. Food was delicious - can recommended the lobster roll - service was friendly and efficient and restaurant was beautiful. Will definitely be back.

We visited the Threadneedle St. restaurant on Saturday afternoon after a family trip to The Natural History Museum. The restaurant is very imposing, very light and airy and has a terrific ambiance even though there were only a few people dining. There were four adults and two children in our party, one 6 year old and one nearly 2. From our arrival the staff were brilliant, the service was great and they made our dining experience memorable. There is a really good drinks menu and the food that we ordered was fantastic. Three of us ordered Lobster rolls with fries and one ordered the burger and fries and a side of Lobster Mac and cheese. The children also had burgers. All the dishes were really tasty and it is a rare occurrence to actually get a burger cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. The staff at this restaurant should be highly commended, they were so good with the children even going so far as showing them the lobsters in the tanks! Thank you. Well done to all, we will definitely be returning in the near future.

I always look forward to my visits to B&L, principally because it's a rare treat to have freshly cooked lobster. I'm not sure what was going on in the kitchen in Threadneedle St, but it wasn't freshly cooking trans-Atlantic lobster. I asked for it to be cooked half-and-half (i.e. half boiled and half grilled) but it was 100% boiled.......and to within an inch of oblivion. The meat was soft to the point of being mushy which is such a waste of an expensive animal/crustacean. B&L, if you take the trouble to fly them all the way over from the US then please at least cook them properly. PS my business colleague was also disappointed with his Wagyu Beefburger - but he can write his own review.

We went here for a team dinner. Drinks: there were some interesting cocktails on the menu, I tried a few and they were all lovely. Food: a tried the calamari, lobster roll and crème brûlée. Everything was really good.

Absolutely stunning restaurant in an old banking hall. We love this restaurant so much this was our second visit on a return trip to London. The surroundings are exceptional and the customer service excellent. The food is delicious and we again had the burger, lobster combo which we highly recommend; it’s also a good portion and very filling. We will definitely return again and again.

Wir waren das erste Mal im Burger & Lobster in der Threadneedle Street an einem Sonntag zum Abendessen. Die Location ist schön. Die Atmosphäre, der Dresscode und die Gäste sind locker, casual und ungezwungen. Der Service erfüllt im Allgemeinen seinen Zweck. Ein besonderes Engagement sollte hier aber nicht erwartet werden. Alle Speisen waren frisch, lecker und von guter Qualität. Insbesondere die Meeresfrüchte haben uns überzeugt. Die grilled prawns und die lobster roll haben uns am besten gefallen. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es wegen der relativ langen Wartezeit für die Getränke und die nicht gelieferte zweite Flasche Wasser, die wohl vergessen wurde. Wir sind insgesamt zufrieden und würden wieder bei Burger & Lobster essen gehen.

We firstly ordered drinks, a few minutes later the waiter came back and said they were out of 2 of the beers we had ordered so had a limited choice on what to replace those with. Not all the drinks came and I had to ask twice for my wine. When we ordered our food, my vegetarian friend ordered the plant burger and was told it was sold out, and the only vegetarian options they had were Polenta chips and asparagus which is appalling. My friend had to get a takeaway after as she was left starving. When our food came out, no one asked us if we needed anything else/sauces and no one came and asked how our meal was, which is shocking for a restaurant of this calibre. When the bill came, we had been overcharged on the wine and I had to correct them for this, and I didn’t realise until after that a 13.5% service charge was added, which really was undeserved based on the service we received.

We were concerned after reading some recent reviews. However we found all 5 of our meals were very tasty well prepared and presented. Overall a good atmosphere we would visit again.

Went for dinner last night and was served a raw burger. I ordered it medium. They took it away and went to cook another one but it still wasn't ready by the time my friends had finished their food, so I ended up not having...

Excellent Service from Yohann! Rock oysters were absolutely divine. Arrived on a weekday night for dinner and had great service

Very poor service. I’ve been seated now for 25 minutes, I was early and waiting for my partner who was running late. No one has come to my table to ask if needed a drink or provide any type of welcome/ service. Not really acceptable.

The lobster was over cooked, impossible to get condiments and water from servers. The vibe was very TGI Fridays when I was expecting something nicer.

On arrival we where shown to our table which was situated to the rear which was nice. We where then inform off 3 items not in the menu that evening. Drinks and food ordered. The food was good although the lobster a little dry. Waiter...

Overall the staff are 10/10 friendly accomodatating they really know how to treat their customers. We were greeted by staff so warmly and friendly. The Barman was creative in making non alcoholic cocktail for my child which she loved. There was another man with a...

The signature Wagyu burger was not available despite curb side advert outside the restaurant. Katsu burger was small, dry and bland. Poor value. Service was hard sell on the cocktails, which got so intrusive it actually got annoying. They are clearly now aiming at the...

Excellent Meal. Ate Lobster as well as Burger. Both were very tasty. The Cream Brûlée was outstanding. The location location is convenient to numerous hotels. Service was slow but they were busy. Definitely recommend!

Perfect place for a business lunch. Nice dining room, good drinks menu and quick and efficient service. The lobster here is off the scale. Can’t fault it. Really great venue.

Brilliant night out on a Tuesday in the City, everything on the menu was great. Yohann our waiter was excellent at recommending cocktails

Pleasant staff and a lovely cocktail but disgusting food. My husband has eaten here before when the choice was burger or lobster. He was shocked. The lobster roll was a horror. Rubbery greasy and lacking in flavour. The squid was a beige alien with a...

Great food, fantastic service. Special mention to the girl from Udine at the reception, she helped us with the menu and had great recommendations. Thank you

The food is so delicious and the environment is beyond fantastic!! I really love their hospitality and I do remember a staff named Yohann, he’s super friendly and very kind, definitely will come back again!! xx

Great food and service. The starters and mains were delicious. Would highly recommend. The lobster roll was a particular favourite. We went at lunchtime and there was plenty of tables so probably no need to book.

Hands down, this is the best restaurant i have ever been to so far. I have been to another shop (also lobster themed) in London but wasn’t as good. We enjoyed the excellent service from Yohann. Will visit this restaurant later this week for dessert...

Very nice experience. Yohann was extremely friendly and nice and the food is really great as well. Would definitely visit again!

Good experience at this branch. We had the whole lobster and we really enjoyed it. Also we really like the fact that all the staff wears mask and they seems to care about hygiene especially during these Covid times. The staff and managers were friendly...

Absolutely stunning venue, superb food and top-tier service from Yohann! Highly recommend and 100% will be back for his great suggestions (El Presidente a cocktail to try for sure!). JC

Arrived in a group of 7, made felt very comfortable by yohann, one member of the group spilled a drink, and it was replaced free of charge, would recommend greatly

As usual this establishment did not disappoint, chose this venue because of the old style and historical building (an old bank), food was great, they even made me the lobster croquettes which were not on the menu. Excellent service and lovely staff

It was fantastic from entry of the place and service ,all the way to the final moments of the meal. We were welcomed by Yohann and well taken care of. Yohann gave us his personal recommendations for the lobster since we were first time lobster...

Another great evening at B&L! Brilliant service from Yohann and the combo meal never disappoints 👍🏽

Such a shame. I was really excited to try Lobster and hear this chain is the best around for it. I understand the prices are high, but I expected so much more in terms of customer service. I know it may not be an exciting...

Beautiful city restaurant with many tables. We had the classic whole Lobster and a plant based burger. The burger was actually really good and the fries were perfect. The classic whole lobster was amazing but i felt the portion size was on the small side...

We were hungry and decided to visit Burger & Lobster, we love the name, and of course the food. Good choice, we are planning to come back here again.

Decided to visit Burger & lobster (Bank) - so pleased we did, highly recommend the brioche lobster roll and the utterly fantastic lobster croquettes, all in all a wonderful experience. Massive big Grazie Marco for making the lunchtime meal even more special.

The food was very nice and on time. Service was one of the best. Ramya waitress was very accommodating & helpful for the occasion.

The restaurant looks very impressive. Fantastic greeting from front of house. The waiter showed us to our table and was attentive and professional. We choose a lobster from the tank, our food arrived altogether, food all great but the fries were slightly over cooked but...

Huge and impressive dining room in what may be an old Bank. Well priced and focussed menu made choosing easy. I had the 8oz burger with lobster on it. It was excellent and good service. No gluten free roll, which I thought was strange, but...

We found this restaurant on Tripadvisor and we loved it. It was the 1st time my son tried lobster and he loved it. I would eat here again.

My travelling buddy wanted to treat her son to a meal in Burger & Lobster, knowing full well that it was her son’s favourite place for lobster. The restaurant was quite deserted as we had arrived slightly later after 2 pm due to sightseeing. She...

We came in as a family as a bit of a treat and Burger & Lobster was very impressive. It is quite pricey, so 'treat' is the operative word, but the triple cheeseburger (two teen boys!) were immense and the veggie burger was also really...

As it was our first time visit, i wasnt really sure what to expect but, right from the get go, we were made to feel at home. The guy at reception (Michel) was very warm and welcoming and made the children and i feel comfortable....

It's great burgers and lobsters in town. Delicious lobster and the environment in the restaurant is superb and comfortable sitting.

Posto ampio, tavoli un poco piccoli per ospitare un combo e contorni. Tanto cibo buono ben cotto e ben elaborato....

Burger and Lobster has got to be one of my fave restaurants in London as it is easy and the food is always delicious. Their cocktails are lovely and i always get the combo meal. I have never been anywhere that has bigger lobsters with...

Tough cold burgers, tasteless food, uncaring staff this is the kind of corporate barn I thought we had moved on from in London - avoid this one.

Si vas a llamarte "Burger and Lobster", al menos deberías poder cocinar una hamburguesa, de hecho, querido lector, si eso es lo que buscas, deja de leer ahora, camina otros quince minutos hasta Vinegar Yard en Londres. Crea un puente y come la mejor hamburguesa en Nanny Bills.Si todavía estás leyendo déjame continuar, éramos una mesa de dos, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba casi vacío, todas las mesas de dos estaban alineadas en una larga fila, lo suficientemente cerca como para escuchar cada palabra en la mesa de al lado y ver su comida, que de hecho debería habernos desanimado a pedir cualquier cosa. Pedimos una hamburguesa para compartir y algunos lados, la hamburguesa es un gran trozo de carne dura fría servida en una bandeja fría con papas tibias (¡pague más por las papas fritas!). Espinacas tibias y pegajosas, tan frías que el queso de arriba todavía era queso rallado. Dos platos igualmente fríos dejados por una miserable y grosera camarera para que compartamos.La camarera tomó nuestro pedido, trajo comida y luego ni siquiera miró en nuestra dirección toda la noche, nuestros vasos de agua estaban vacíos mientras estaba ocupada conversando con otra camarera en la parte delantera del restaurante.Cuando llegó la factura, pedimos que se quitara el servicio explicando que nuestra comida no era buena y que no la habíamos visto en toda la noche, se encogió de hombros y ni siquiera se disculpó, establece el tono para todo el restaurante.Para empezar, fue nuestro aniversario, gracias be & L por estropearlo por completo.

Fast service, excellent food (lemon and garlic sauce is amazing) very pricey but expected. Would def recommend! Great location & interior.

Absolutely loved this, came for a little meal for my partners birthday. Bought the sharing combo, loved every single item. The burgers are to die for! They even got my partner a little birthday cake without me even asking, brilliant staff, brilliant food!

The freshest and tastiest Atlantic lobsters can only get fresher and tastier if enclosed in a crispy and soft roll. The power of bread, some may say. Or the power of a great idea.A great idea, brought to life in many locations in London and around the world. I have been in the Threadneedle branch in Bank area (and former bank caveau itself) ideal for big groups. Highly recommended is the Original Whole Lobster steamed and served with onion salad and lemon or garlic butter sauce (in pic) or the Original Lobster Roll, with the lobster dressed in Japanese mayo and lemon, served alongside lemon and garlic butter.Also a good opportunity to get a fresh lobster at a reasonable price in London.

If you ever watched a Gordon Ramsay show and saw him yelling at someone about lobster that is as hard as rubber then you may find yourself eating that piece of lobster here.What is worse is that when I spoke to the waiter about it he just shrugged his shoulders saying that it’s not black so therefore it cannot be overcooked. Furthermore he thinks everyone likes that lobster differently and some lobsters are just very tough to chew.Very disappointing evening after bringing my parents here that just travelled fromhalfway across the world and she was saying that she can’t chew through hers ):

Marco was brilliant, received excellent customer service from him on 23rd January. He was friendly and made some great recommendations from the menu! :)

I have been to many Burger and Lobster locations throughout London throughout the past 5 years, I find that it just isn't as good as it was years ago. The prices have increased quite a lot which I find off putting and the food just isn't of the same quality it used to be. We arrived at this location and we waited nearly 45 minutes for someone to come and take a food/drink order, they only came over after I had to go find someone and ask them could we order which wasn't the best service. I just wish this restaurant hadn't lost the appeal it once had, I don't think this is one we will be visiting again.

Locale originale, cibo fantastico, e che dire dei drinks. Gemma è stata straordinaria ed è stata il nostro punto di riferimento. Lo consiglio vivamente, bello buono e divertente. Torneremo

Yohann was the best ever!! Best customer service and friendly experience. The food was amazing & very tasty

Love B&L; but was our first time at the Threadneedle location. Food was fantastic, came out super quick, and Yohann was brilliant, made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone working there had great attitudes and were helpful.

Me and a group of friends came to Burger & Lobster on Threadneedle street as we had a craving for some shell fish!

Came for family dinner and really enjoyed the drinks, food and atmosphere. Great service too, especially by Yohann. Definitely would recommend coming here

As we arrived and were seated, We had to wait over 20mins before finally flagging down a waitress whom we were told to wait a few more moments before attending to us.
