Burger & Lobster Leicester Square in City of London, Westminster

Over priced with very small lobsters as standard. I ordered a half lobster and there was only two very small forks of meat in the tail and the claw was tiny. Burgers are nothing special. Eating with Tod’s review was a lie in my opinion.

My daughter and I both had the whole lobster and fries and it was delicious, just wish the sauce was enough. As it was lunchtime, the staff behind the bar was chatting and playing on their phone, thought it was unprofessional.

The Lobster Roll was absolutely delicious with lots of lobster. The serving team were lovely, especially Erina, who was a delight and so helpful. The Kids menu is great too. I look forward to my next visit.

Went for the £1 oyster option after 3.00pm. Great deal. Wine and cocktails cheaper too. Tuscan salad very good, prawns too BUT the lobster and prawn roll was all brioche and little filling. Avoid. Service good. Atmosphere ok.

Have been waiting to come back and finally did the other day was 10 out of 10 every one of us had an amazing time food was excellent,lobster 😋

Il lobster roll e’ molto buono, il locale e’ bello ed il personale e’ gentile e veloce. Sicuramente non e’ economico, ma i prodotti sono di qualità.

Food was fine but service was slow but my issue is the women’s toilets! They’re absolutely disgusting, sanitary products coming out the of sanitary bins stains inside the toilets and all sorts, complete unhygienic. I will not be coming back.

Lovely evening and delicious food. The staff were very friendly. Syaed provided an excellent service and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come again.

Me and my friend came specifically to Burger to take advantage of the £1 oysters and then also took advantage of the 2 for £12 on cocktails. We had 24 oysters and 4 cocktails each for a bargain price - but yet the bill gets high if you don't be slightly careful. Oysters were delicious and the waiting staff were lovely. The oysters are big and tasty and I would definitely return.

We enjoyed it so so much! What a friendly staff. Enough choice. And our choice was the best I think! We had oysters (very fresh, loved it) and the Combo for 2 with a hamburger, lobster, lobster roll, fries and salad. It really was fantastic! Thank you for this lovely evening and we will come back for sure!

Great burger and amazing lobster roll. They deliver what they promise. We would definitely visit again and recommend to friends.

I went there with my friend on Valentine’s Day we were served by Gabi She was absolutely amazing the service the attention to detail the smile. I will definitely be coming back because she made the experience extra special.

Massively over-hyped and over-priced. Service was friendly and efficient but the food was well below average. All three of us in my party had the burger and 1lb lobster combo. The lobster was tough and tasteless and whilst served with a pick, there were no crackers with which to crush shells meaning much wasted meat. The burgers were small, tasteless and soggy. Two beers, a bottle of wine and 3 B&L combos came to over £200. We’d have been better eating at one of the delicious smelling Chinese restaurants nearby. Avoid.

We went to B&L just before seeing a show in Leicester Square. I love lobster- so this was a great place for us. We both ordered the whole lobster with fries and salad for £38. The lobster was a decent size, good portion of fries, and okay salad but neither of us ate that haha. The lobster was good! The only annoying thing was that it had already been cracked for us which was supposed to make things easier but there were some bits we struggled to then break fully open because the joints on the lobster claws have so many little sharp bits! The chips were just basic French fries- but they were nice! We ordered desserts- crème brûlée and apple crumble. It was the BEST crème brûlée I’ve ever had. And my partner said the crumble was delicious. The food is pricey, but it’s lobster.. but then £4 for a bottle of Coke is a little bit soul destroying.. eek! The only thing I wasn’t majorly impressed with was the service. When we arrived we had booked but they took in walk-ins in before seating us and there seemed to be miscommunications between the waiting staff. They were prompt on taking our order, but when bringing out our food they didn’t ask if we needed any sauces or anything- and I could have done with some salt and mayo for my fries! When they came to check on us it was so quick I didn’t get a chance to ask for anything, and it was too busy to get anyone’s attention. They were however, prompt when taking our places, waited til we had both finished. We did have to ask for the dessert menu when the waitress was bringing us some more water after taking our plates which I thought a bit odd? Normally you’re being asked as the plates are being cleared if you want to see dessert menus.. it wasn’t terrible service- it just wasn’t the best? Id still absolutely go back- the food was great, it was a lovely atmosphere- loved the restaurant decor! Really good location to theatres and Leicester Square shopping. And yes it was pricey, but it’s a treat we’d have once in a blue moon.

My 40th birthday treat. My first time trying lobster 🦞 it was bloody beautiful I was stuffed and still couldn't stop eating. Washed it down with a lobster 🦞 martini. Our waiter was very young but was very good at his job. Lobster roll was amazing with the holy f#*k butter. My only grip is I hate being charged a service charge £15....I prefure to leave a tip.

We booked a table for 2 to eat a quick meal before going to see a show. We ordered 2 burgers and a side of lobster Mac N Cheese. Burgers were gorgeous and cooked to perfection and the blue sauce was yummy. The chunky chips tasted refried and full of oil. We never received the lobster Mac n cheese as the waitress missed it off our very small order. While still eating the waitress also took my partners plate! Very bizarre service. Overall, not the best experience and still charged for service. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to it. Won’t be going back unfortunately. Nearly £100 for a burger each with inedible chips and poor service?

The lobster roll is surprisingly delicious! It is cold meat but it was very yum. Our waiter Mathieu was a lovely Italian man and he made our night so amazing! He made our night - thank you Mathieu for your excellent service!

Always enjoy our visit here. On this occasion I had to note an allergy, the staff could not have been any more helpful. Our waiter Stephen was so attentive. Definitely recommend here.

Very excited about our date night at Burger and Lobster after attending a show. I’ve been to the Knightsbridge restaurant some years ago. Reservation is a must as we noticed people being turned away. Not the most welcoming front of house. The two ladies looked like they were working on a factory line. Fed up and lacked the necessary hospitality skills needed for the job. In particular the red hair lady. I watched her stomp about and rush people to their tables without even making eye contact. One customer tried to engage with her without success. Thankfully, we were shown to the table by a third lady. Our waitress Evelyn was ever so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The service from the seat was top class. Food perfectly cooked, and plentiful. Sort your front desk!

You really can't go wrong with this place. I hadn't been here in years and by chance walked into the Leicester Square location whilst out doing the Xmas thing with my partner. The staff were very nice and welcoming and managed to squeeze us in for a meal despite being incredibly busy. The food was exactly what I needed and expected. We went with the Best burger [lobster and burger]. We also had croquettes and lobster mac n cheese. Honestly, this was exactly what I expected and we left with smiles on our faces. Our server was "Alex", he was welcoming and did a good job.

Very poor. The lobster was tiny I’ve had bigger prawns! It was tasteless. I think if you don’t pick the bigger fresher ones the normal ones are farmed and come in frozen. Service was bad had to ask for everything minimum of twice, drinks,condiments etc

Reasonably priced tasty food. Good menu options. The lobster Mac and cheese is delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

Thank you for good food, good tableware by the waiters. But the managers gave us a bad experience, we couldn't buy coffee

I never went to Burger and Lobster in its heyday - but my first visit has confirmed that the party is over. The Leicester Square venue was grubby and unloved - the staff were going thru the motions. It had an Aberdeen Angus Steakhouse feel about it - had a reputation once but now just serves tourists who don’t come again. Avoid.

Good service…. Quiet but busy for a Sunday late-afternoon…. Good food… The wagyu croquettes were excellent… As was the lobster roll… Will definitely return…

First trip for lunch. Staff very friendly, two check backs and an amazing chicken burger with incredible fries and a truffle sauce. Definitely worth a visit if you're anywhere near theatre land

Tasty meal but expensive! We got the 5 oz burger and half lobsters x3, and another burger. We took advantage of the wine by the bottle special but they did not have their $20 bottle available so it cost us $30+. We had 2 creme...

best place to eat lobster, everything is so fresh and delicious. service was amazing as well as fast. definitely recommend

10/10 restaurant. The service aswell as the food was top tier⭐️ first time trying lobster and i will defo be coming back in future 🦞 restaurant based right by Chinatown so plenty to do before or after the meal. Defo recommend ⭐️

Delightful, we visited for lunch and I’m so glad we did, the food was amazing, particularly recommend the beast burger! Also had the lobster Mac and cheese on the side which is enormous.. I would miss breakfast if you’re visiting because you’ll need a lot...

We had lobster rolls and we were very sick. Waitress was clumsy and inattentive. More importantly our stomachs were upset by evening

Just ok . Place is lovely but it’s your typical London tourist trap rip of where they do not expect repeat business . Service is very rushed to the point where the mains are being laid as the starters are lifted . You feel like...

The lobster and burger combination was great. And the fries were good too. We returned for a second meal and it was also very good. Service was a little slow, but was friendly and the recommendations were spot on.

I’m not sure what I did to deserve the treatment I received at this branch last week but I left in tears. I visited for a solo meal prior to performing locally, on a particularly sad day in my life. The staff were incredibly rude....

I have been to Burger and Lobster a few times, it was my second time at this branch. We were sat down upstairs on time for our booking and were served by perhaps a supervisor or manager (they wore a suit). We were given tap...

Came here long time ago for a birthday celebration, am very glad to see that the atmosphere and food has not changed (if only in price!) Were greeted by a very friendly waiter who looked after us very well and made sure we were well...

The food was very good but the service was a little slow. After we finished, our waitress disappeared and we had to wait 30 min for the check.

Second time to this restaurant and was even better this time, visited on a Saturday evening and the place was packed which ensured a great atmosphere. Food was absolutely superb and extremely well presented, the service was outstanding, friendly. Knowledgeable and prompt. Love the fact...

This is an unassuming restaurant that serves top-notch food. My wife and I indulged in a lobster and a juicy beef burger. Both were tasty and came with mouth-watering sides and sauces. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the food. As...

The lobster was amazing as always. This time we have ordered calamari and turned out that this will be our new fav starter. Plus, I’ve been to this branch for many times but I would like to shout out to Arpi who did his best...

I visited mid December with my family and we were so welcomed and had such a great time. The food was amazing, service by Arpi really elevated the meal and everything was so lovely. REALLY RECOMMEND! Thank everyone especially Arpi.

We had a lovely dinner with our excellent server Arpi!! He was so attentive and helpful throughout the meal and we had such a great time. Highly recommend!

Wanted to go for a while, food was sensational, just divine. Relaxing and romantic setting, staff were excellent, will definitely be back

We made a reservation 21:45 and as soon as we entered the staff greeted us and informed that the kitchen is closing in 30’. We were rushed to order, the food came within 10’ and people were cleaning the area around us as we were...

Attend on Sunday 6th November for my birthday, we was a party of 17. We had a waitress who started three days ago and had no idea was she was doing. Ordered my granddaughter a burger and it was raw. Food was coming out at...

We went in to b&l late on a Saturday evening and they accommodated us straight away which we wasn’t expecting ! Food was delicious … but the food was Luke-warm at best, chips were really cold! Thankfully the taste of the burger made up for...

Very nice welcome on arrival and shown immediately to the table. Waiter (Michael) was great - made recommendations and was attentive without being pushy. Menu is unsurprising considering the restaurant name but they do it well. I thought it good value for the central location....

This was very bad since the prices, I went they’re with my family for special day out and though we would come in here for some nice food well it wasn’t the best food the toilets were worse than porterloo after an hour my father...

Visited on my own, I was sat at the bar as I didn’t have a reservation. I ordered a couple beers and a massive burger with lobster. The meat was really nice and perfectly cooked. The lobster unfortunately didn’t taste like much as it was...

we would recommend this restaurant , we used to come here for family birthday meals before covid and was always satisfied with the food and service , we have have now started to use this restaurant again and we are very please with the food...

Me and my partner visited this restaurant on Friday 8/7/2022, we didn’t have a reservation. But was welcome. Ordered a combo for 2£75, and 2 drinks, if l am honest the food was quite bland, was told that the lobster would be steamed,ok, didn’t really...

I was expecting a lovely meal and was very excited. The food wad nothing special and was actually quite bland. I love butter but the buttery sauce wasn’t great either. Chips were average. I had a lobster roll which was tiny I was still hungry...

Birthday surprise which went down like a lead balloon. First of all we were shown to a table in the far corner of a near empty restaurant and the guy threw the menus down and walked away before we even reached it. Asked to be...

We visited on our honeymoon and we had the calamari and bread to start, the calamari was cold, probably one of the worst we've ever had and the bread was burnt, the sauces were pretty awful aswell. We then both had the whole lobster, very...

4th visit to burger and lobster all previous restaurant had great experience until this one, starters and mains served at the same time!!! Had to rush starters therefore didn’t enjoy it to prevent mains from getting cold. Disappointed after paying £100 meal for 2 need...

Food nice, service bad I’ve never been to a restaurant that serves hour starters and main at the same time. We didn’t request that either, who brings both at the same time? When they put it down we did say we ordered starters and question...

Overall wasn't very impressed. I mentioned I had an allergy and the response was to make me sign that there may be traces or you can't eat there basically. The food is quite pricey for what it is. Nothing necessarily wrong with the food but...

Great food, we went in for pre-theatre dinner. I had the whole lobster which was cooked perfectly. My partner had the combo, but thought his half lobster was on the small side, but nevertheless tasty. I had the watermelon ice tea, which was refreshing. Great...

This is my 3rd visit to a Burger and Lobster, twice in NY and now 1 in London. Everything was good overall, very beautiful restaurant. THe only issue we had was the grilled lobster was overcooked. Other than that, everything else including service, drinks and...

Have had the lobster meal at several outlets before and is still my go-to lobster place whenever I’m in London. Pricier now but still good & tasty.

Definitely my favorite place to go to in London. Great tasting lobster for just £35! Fries were At a generous portion. Love it that it comes with salad. I went around 6.30pm on a Thursday night and there were still some seats available. Love it...

My wife and I are regulars at Burger and Lobster, and this was by far our worst experience. My wife had the whole steamed lobster which was overcooked and tough. I had the special fish and chips roll, which had nothing special whatsoever - felt...

We came here for my wives birthday with friends. Service was okay - you could see they were busy and service slacked a little. Food was okay but last time we went to the Soho one and it was a lot better.

Lobster done to perfection, with delicious butter sauce. Extremely tasty cocktails and welcoming service. Would happily spend lots of time again here, might be a little noisy (music) for some but I enjoyed. Ask to be seated downstairs if you don’t fancy Windey steps upstairs...

Nice dining experience. Attentive service from our waitress Barbara! She is a star! Great recommendations and knowledge about menu! Compliments for a bar staff, drinks were perfect!

Lovely meal, staff were excellent and accommodating. For a vegetarian main there was just a burger, my daughter had the small plate of spinach and feta croquettes with fries and salad as a main instead. Lovely cocktails.

Delicious and good quality. Had Calamari for starter, succulent and very tasty! Had the whole lobster off the lunch menu which was good pricing, again tasty and good quality. Service was good, always checked in with me. Only con was the gin spritz, tasted watered...

I booked a table for 19:00 on the 18th of March. When we arrived they help us with my daughter pushchair because is just stairs to go in to the place. Nice decoration inside. We had to wait around 10 minutes to get our table,...

Traveled to London for parents anniversary and randomly thought to have lobster for dinner. After a shor waiting time (and a drink by the bar😉)they managed to help us out with a table. The food got served fast and piping hot and it was delicious....

🔹黎佐英國半年 終於肯開始寫下喺英國食嘅餐廳了🥰 呢間burger & lobster喺英國有好多分店 今次黎倫敦玩就食咗Leicester Square呢間 即係喺National Gallery附近🤣 🔸Classic Whole Lobster🦞 (1LB) (£29) Whole lobster, served steamed or grilled with fries, salad and lemon & garlic butter sauce🦞🍋🧄 點餐嘅時候侍應會問龍蝦要steamed定grilled 佢建議我地一半steamed一半grilled🤣🤣 等佐10幾分鐘 龍蝦終於上枱啦😍 呢到係用波士頓龍蝦 我覺得蒸嗰種好食啲 因為比較鮮味☺️ 烤嗰種就多佐一陣煙燻味 但肉質會乾啲🤣 龍蝦嘅份量都唔少 啖啖肉😍😍 跟餐嘅薯條就一般般 比較幼身 但都幾脆😃 評分: 🌟🌟🌟...

We enjoyed our visit immensely from arrival. Staff were very very friendly in their greeting and service throughout. Obviously its a very simple menu as the restaurant title explains. The food was first rate throughout (we ate 3 courses) with a fine & Varied drinks...

We popped in for a spot of lunch as arrived in town early for a theatre trip. No tables, but were seated at the bar, which I think was the best decision of the day. We were immediately enthusiastically greeted and offered water, sparkling or...

Ate here recently with my partner before the theatre, the starters were good but the burgers tasted like they had been dunked in salt!!! Over heard the next table also saying the food was too salty. For the price of the food (which is very...

Reliably good bite to eat for lunch. Credit to Katalin for recommending a great white and lovely service! 🙌🏼

Fab location, brilliant interia, great food and the best service from Mario (mariano) he was amazing and made us feel so at home, will defo come back, we are visiting from Kent.

Wonderful lunch for my birthday. Fresh oysters and loved the scallops. B&L combo delicious and generous portion. Special mention to Mariano who gave friendly helpful and professional service which made the meal extra enjoyable. Second visit and will definitely return.

Nice vibe and lovely staff. The location is nice and the dishes are tasty. I won’t say it’s crazy, but as a one off sometimes yes, I would consider. Lovely black lady waiter with long hair, very sweet and helpful :)

Had dinner with two friends on a Friday evening two weeks back at the Leicester Square outlet and had lobster rolls and deserts. Food was wonderful, in particular the lobster. Big shoutout to the Burger and Lobster team, and Mollie in particular, for their exceptional...

My wife told us must visit burger and lobster when we are in London, here we are!! Food - we ordered classic full lobsters, grill style. The presentation is very well decorated, the taste of lobster is super fresh and juicy! Cleanliness - the restaurant...

Went as a group of 4. EVERYTHING was excellent. Best burger I have eaten in years Lobsters was super. Staff as so attentive and friendly it made it a really memorable visit and funnily enough I even got a job invitation :)

Went over with 2 friends yesterday and had a great time at the Leicester Square outlet - it's very popular so making reservations is essential for fast sitting, but the service is superb and staff are extremely accommodating. Cheers to Mollie for her assistance yesterday...

Larger than it appeared from the street. Relaxed atmosphere inside well designed and spacious. Spotlessly clean. Staff were efficient and helpful and the food was tasty. We went for lunch and enjoyed it as a first visit. I must admit I would not rush back...

Great easy reservation system. Nice reception. Attentive friendly professional and helpful waiter - thanks Marciano from Naples! Food good. This is not top quality lobster - nevertheless it’s accessible lobster at accessible prices bundled well into a nice menu selection. And best of all -...

My wife booked a table for the 2 of us last night and all I can say is it was money well spent. Everything was amazing from the food, the service and the cocktails. Probably the best meal I've had. I cannot recommend this place...

Absolutely fantastic, great atmosphere and amazing quality food. Highly recommend the lobster roll 🦞 we will 100% come back 🙂

Despite turning up 1/2 hour early for our reservation the staff got us seated immediately. Food and drink were ordered from the friendly and professional staff, and the piping hot food was delivered quickly. We both had the beast burger that was very good. Good...

Looking for somewhere to eat pre-theatre, we were pleased to find Burger and Lobster as we had previously had good meals in branches in the City. Many of the other restaurants around Leicester Square had closed since we were last there. The restaurant wasn't busy...

We were actually on our way through China town but didn’t see anything we liked. We came across Burger and Lobster by accident and saw people eating on an outside table. It all looked good so we went in. We were in for a treat....

We had booked a table from the last few days but once we had got there it was full so a little squashed. Staff clocked this and organised a much better table. We had calamari to start. It was ok, nothing special with the elastic...

I have been before to the Oxford Circus restaurant. This one was far better and wonderful. The staff were lovely, attentive and really friendly. I’m not used to using an app for a menu, but it was very easy to do. Lobster absolutely lovely and...

Great food. Love the mix of burger and lobster - just what we were looking for. A bit pricey, but perhaps not when you consider London restaurant prices generally and central tourist location. Given 4 not 5 stars as I dislike service charges on bills...

We arrived after a theatre performance and were accommodated despite the late hour. The staff were friendly and attentive, but did not rush us in any way. I am looking forwards to returning.

Overrated and over priced. Service wasn’t great and expected us to pay 12% service charge and when questioned waiter was rude. food was bland. Wouldn’t recommend

Went to Burger & Lobster for my birthday meal and we had a really great time. Really great service, friendly staff. Food and drinks were delicious, and they were quick to arrive, not a long wait time at all. However if you are ordering the...

Has high expectations since there are many good comments. My friend and I both order whole lobster, grilled, cost £32 each. The lobsters are fresh, but not hot enough, and the taste are a bit plain. No additional favor is added while cooking. The dish...

She is the best waitress I have ever came a cross in my entire life ,I demand she gets a raise .If she doesn’t get a raise I will come back to make a complain .Thank you

I really enjoyed this meal, my partner and i shared our meals; I got the lobster roll and he got the beast burger. Both of which were really tasty. The burger was really nicely cooked and the additions such as Brie and lobster made it...

Went on Saturday afternoon with a friend, it was my first visit at any burger & lobster restaurant and we really enjoyed it. It was so busy so is obviously very popular in the area! I had the combo roll and especially enjoyed the cheeseburger...

We visited for our anniversary dinner to try something new, and for the most part we loved it! Neither of us drink so we had the virgin cocktails and they were lovely! Starter was good, and we both had the 5oz beast burger. It was...
