Cawsburger in North Hertfordshire

Stopped by to try their famous donut burger, and it did not disappoint! The food here is consistently excellent. If you're craving a top-notch local burger, this place is a must-visit.

As always, had a very pleasant experience! The staff are super friendly and the food is always so delicious!

Top smashed burgers. More than enough choice and lovely sides. What's not to love? A proper burger place.

Food was amazing! Definitely coming back, prices are a little high but definitely worth it! Music was a little loud

Really friendly staff, incredible food, and really great value for money. Gluten free, veg and vegan options for everything. Can't rate it highly enough.

Me and my friends visited yesterday and the staff were lovely. However it was an extremely cold day so we wanted some good food to warm us up. The restaurant was extremely cold and it did not appear that the heating was on despite it being -1 degrees outside. Me and my friends ate our food with scarfs and coats on and could not eat fast enough to get out of the restaurant and home to some warmth.

I discovered Cawsburger a couple of months ago and visited them four times. The initial two times I had the Cawsburger then Cawboy takeaway and both were just fine. Two weeks ago, went with the whole family and tried the Cawsmac with double patty. That night when I got home, I had an upset stomach followed by diarrhoea. Thought it was a one off (due to them being busy perhaps) so went again today with a friend and we both had the Cawsburger with single patty. I’m disappointed to say it also led to upset stomach and diarrhoea. Could be a hygiene issue but I won’t be going there again I’m afraid! Never had this issue with other burger places I’ve visited.. For the price I’m paying, I don’t think this should be happening! EDIT: I greatly appreciate how Cawsburger handled the situation. Since then, they have consistently ensured my burger is fully cooked with no issues. Thank you! I’m updating my rating to 5 stars!

SO SO GOOD!! Ordered the basic cheeseburger, buffalo chicken tenders (which were so obviously fried fresh to order), and loaded BBQ fries. Everything was fantastic! Thanks guys!

Good find this place. Burgers tasted extremely fresh, not heavy. Sides were all delicious too. Staff were cute and friendly

Been here a couple of times, food is always amazing and the staff are extremely polite. Especially the manager

Good food served at the truck in Sandy but disappointing to see a group of boys get free fries after I have just paid full price for a family of three seconds earlier. Just a little insulting if I am being honest, poor service.

Food tasted nice but the temperature needs improving. Nuggets were completely cold, chips were quite hot. Burger was alright but not in my taste to be honest. Definitely will come to try more positions from the menu. Good atmosphere but tables needs cleaning from time to time... even if is thriving with people and orders. In summary good experience. Service needs to catch up with the kitchen. Visit after a year. Food is good, no doubt. Experience of eating in is bad or even worse. Tables have thick layer of sticky dirt. I have no clue what it is but is awfully sticky. Guys. Honestly. Please sort this out, is putting of even from good food. It makes me think what's going on at the back🤢 Cawbonara Burger is amazing 💛

Good food. Shame the restaurant is freezing every time you go! Saw your comment. I agree was harsh. Just get some heating!!

Staff were absolutely amazing! We had two babies with us and they were accommodating and helpful. Only reason for the 4 stars was the burger was very pink in the middle which I know is fine but not to my liking. Other than that, food was great!!

Well worth a visit if you haven't already, buffalo chicken tenders were so good!

Visited tonight and drove from Enfield to see what we thought. Got to say the burgers are probably the best I’ve tasted. The chicken strips are great. The chips are another level. All of the staff are great and friendly. The owner came over to chat and told us where the beef came from where the buns are from. You can see his passion is in the food and he deserves to do well. If you like a burger you must go here

Popped in for the lunchtime cheeseburger/fries deal and was very impressed. One of the tastiest burgers I've ever eaten. Good beef, nicely charred served with excellent fries. Couldn't fault it and a bargain at £7.99👌

One of if the best burger I've had absolutely delicious, will be definitely coming back soon.

Normally a queue outside which says it all! An excellent choice away from the usual burger chains. The food is epic! Especially the chicken tenders with buffalo and blue cheese sauce!

The best burgers in Hertfordshire! Honestly the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. Top quality food worth every penny.

Amazing burgers and the cheeseburger fries are a meal in itself (from the secret menu). Well worth a visit and worth the wait for a freshly made meal. Milkshakes are nice too. Mojito was strong according to our guest. We have been twice now and will be back again.

Servers amazing burgers with good portion size. The chicken fillers were juicy inside and crispy outside and would totally recommend. Will definitely re-visit!

Food was OK but nothing amazing for the price 5 guys is a better shout

They said chicken is halal, so anyone going there can reconfirm this. I got the buffalo chicken burger with the blue cheese mayo 😍 omg honestly it was amazing! Loved it

came here the customer service was great had a chat the person taking my order and really enjoyed the fries and burger

Had the chicken burger and it was great! Crispy texture and flavourful! The buns had a wonderful toasted colour too. 🤤 Chips were also nicely done ✅. Seating outside and inside. The shop is a short walk from Hitchin's center square. Overall recommended! 🔥

This is our favourite spot for me and my mum to dine out. We love the jalapeño and halloumi styled burgers with fries on the side. Helpful and super friendly staff with top quality banta as always!

Easy 5*. Such a good burger and fries. Perfect patty, juicy, crispy and pink.

Absolutely amazing burger! Fab friendly service and received quickly and hot. If you haven’t been to Cawsburger you are seriously are missing out! Get down there and try. I had the a cawboy with the matching fries … perfection 😋

Wow… just Wow 🤯🤤🤩. Came all the way from London for this burger. Worth the drive and some!

Came here for the first time was served by Camron very bubbly person was very nice made me feel welcomed would absolutely love to come back again

Absolutely lush burgers and loaded fries. Music was awesome and the staff wonderfully helpful. Definitely recommend

I really loved the burgers. Reasonable price and great quality. The service was good. This place is also situated in a very nice area of the town with local shops.

It was amazing experience!!!!! good place, good service, amazing food… I’ll be back 100% suree!!!

Update: down to 4 stars unfortunately. When getting takeaway milkshakes they make them immediately even if it takes 20 minutes to get the food. Even after asking. So they end up melting. Not a great experience as I’d like the shake with my meal especially given the price of them. Update: went back and got the Cawboy. SO GREAT. Love this place. Delicious. Fries crispy but fluffy inside. Burger perfectly seasoned. Will be going again.

It cooked as ordered.for a lunch it's amazing but it's bit slow 🦥I usually don't like burgers but I love this one but less salt 🧂

Caws burger is easily my favourite burger spot and I eat a lot of burgers. I’ve tried a lot of places around Bedfordshire and London. Myself and my girlfriend come to Caws every month for the specials and how good the quality of food/service is. We’ve tried everything from shakes, strips and every months specials. We haven’t found anything we don’t like on the menu yet!

Phenomenal food, massive portions and reasonably priced. Awesome.

Visited cawburger on a late Sunday evening as a family of 4. We travelled from Portsmouth as staying locally and use reviews to eat out in new areas. We ordered the special as a double patty, kids beef burger meal, BBQ Chicken and BBQ beef burgers both as Gluten free, cherry cola chicken tenders, Kiev fries, strawberry milkshake, can coke zero and 2x fruitshoots. Quality of food is very very good. Milkshake was banging! GF options brilliant. The chicken tenders were actually sold out but happily replaced as a chicken burger with the cherry cola sauce on top which we found very tasty. Personally the BBQ sauce was quite overpowering especially on the beef patty i was unable to taste the meat (maybe better If it was a double). Kids meal looked perfect. Kiev fries were very nice could have been a little hotter in temperature but still very tasty. Special burger was where my main issue was. I do understand the very nice quality ingredients used in a very nice brioche roll however i couldn't pick it up due to the puddle of beef fat in the box which some of it was soaked up by the bottom bun to the point I couldn't actually hold it. We did raise this issue with staff and who I believe was the manager/owner came to explain it is all cooked on a dry grill its the fat content in the beef itself. He instantly offered to refire a new one which as everyone else was nearly finished it wasn't visable but explained why the issue arose. If this issue could be resolved somehow then this could have definitely been one of the best burgers. Upon leaving, the manager/owner had refunded the special burger as an apology which was greatly appreciated. You don't get that service anywhere. Overall, service was excellent. Quality of produce excellent. Cost of soft drinks were a little pricy but overall bill for what we ordered was expected as we did our research beforehand. Will return and try again another day. Wish this company all the best with their future👍

Great little burger restaurant. Always had great food and staff are always helpful.

The best burger joint around. Without argument! Even when it's closed!!! 🫶🏾

Best burgers and chicken tenders. Cawsburger is the benchmark for me every time I try burgers elsewhere and normally my feedback for other places is “it’s not cawsburger 🤷🏻‍♀️”

We really liked the food, thank you very much- Miles, 6 years old

Everything is good. I love the Chicken Shop burger. However, the buffalo fries is a bit overwhelming. The buffalo sauce is already strong tasting but the fries drenched in the sauce making it like eating pure sauce. This is the only thing left on our table.

Amazing burgers so good loved the curry loaded fries and the cocktails were amazing the best burger I’ve had !!

I love going here as the burgers are just exceptional. My favourite is the halloumi burger, and the combination of flavours is great, although I would recommend not getting the extra patty as it’s easier to handle with the one (can get messy). Chips are nice too!

Absolutely incredible food. Small issue with order but handled perfectly. Will definitely be ordering again. Best burgers in Hertfordshire!

Delicious burgers and great selection!

We popped in for a quick lunch and it was incredible. The chicken was so tender and best burger I've had. Thanks everyone! ☺️

For a first date out we came here and the food was lovely and also the people who served us were all very welcoming and helpful

- The tropical mojito is great. - The chips are lovely. Some of the best I’ve had. - The burgers are 5.5/10. Bit too greasy for me and a double is not needed. Maybe the chicken burgers are better. - The tenders are bad. Not crispy, meaty or well seasoned. The Nashville just tasted like chilli powder. - Music was a bit too loud - They got some of the orders wrong.

Best Burger I’ve had in ages !!

Okay, so I have had a lot of burgers over the years, recent one's in London like storm burger, beer & burger etc. And boy, Caws Burger just beats them out of the park! I recently had the Oklahoma, and it was just DELICIOUS! hard to pick a fave as I've had Caws Mac, the chicken burgers but I think I have a new fave. Other than that, service was spot on, really supportive and no rushing or anything. I had it as a takeout but next time would like to dine inside. The meat is extremely good, and worth it all the way, my photo doesn't do it justice!

Got gluten free burger roll and chips . Not lying when I say best burger ever eaten . Would gladly come from Dunstable every week as a treat ! Well done Guys

Burgers are amazing! Food is just genuinely perfect for anyone. Would highly recommend!

The food in this place is brilliant, I have travelled twice ,40m driving, to go there and have Burgers. On my last visit, I literally abandoned my hiking friends to go and collect a takeaway and was so worthy 😍

Had a cheese burger takeaway. Very good burger, had better recently in St Albans, but still very good.

Back when they were a lockdown popup they were producing what was probably one of the best burgers in the country. Unfortunately, since opening their own store, the quality of their food is mid at best. Fries are still great though. An unfortunate outcome for what was a really promising start ):

Amazing food and atmosphere, had lunch today with work colleagues, i had a burger, skin on fries and shared some cherry cola strip, they were delicious so juicy, bonus there was a busker outside playing music, will definitely return.

Food is amazing but wouldn’t mind bigger portions.

Despite “glowing” reviews (hype) and lots of instagram posts from influencers praising cawsburger I was left dissapointed. I visited the cawsburger at the snug in StAlbans location. Location was quite cold smelt musty and dirty with the use of bleached cloth, tables still had remnants of spilled drink and food, furniture worn out. Burger was very plain tasting no seasoning and lacked any flavour quite rubbery and swimming in grease, which made the bun soggy. Fries were just as plain and very unseasoned despite the mountain of cheese dust on top. Trying too hard to copy shake shack. Won’t be returning.

An excellent burger and chips.... Simply outstanding

Another awesome meal! Best burger in Hitchin. Thank you!

My husband thoroughly enjoyed his ‘CawsMac’ burger! Juicy & tender…… Up there with the best burgers he’s had. 🤌🏻 We loved our ‘Cowboy Fries’ the crisp onions really topped it off! My ‘buffel Ho’ chicken burger was also really great. The chicken was juicy, yet lovely and crispy. My only MINOR criticism is that there was a bit too much sauce for my preference. HOWEVER, I’d still have it again. You have repeat customers in us. Well done guys!

The service is great and so is the food. The atmosphere is beautiful. The employees are very kind and the food is served very quickly. I would definitely come here again and I would recommend this restaurant.

Seriously good burger. Melt in the mouth, juicy delicious

Some of the worst food I’ve had in Hitchin.

I had the lunch deal chicken burger and it was delicious - also very good value! Everyone was extremely friendly and the service was brilliant!

Highly recommend Cawsburger! Really good value for money and so delicious. I had the £7.99 chicken tenders and chips lunch deal which was delicious. The staff were so welcoming and pleasant throughout.

Lovely food, well presented and excellent friendly service. Definitely worth a visit, would highly recommend. Thank you.

Went on a quiet Tuesday so little atmosphere but was expected. Burgers were amazing. Attentive staff. Great experience. Thanks guys p.s wine as a choice would be good.

As far as the food, it’s the best burger spot I’ve tried in Hitchin. There are others and they’re not bad but Caws burger stood out as I’ve recently done a burger crawl loolll. Meat is not over cooked and dry, bun is super tasty and fresh, fries are fresh. I hope they NEVER scrimp on the quality of their produce because that would lose them customers. They’re more than the average burger joint taste wise- they mean business! I never give anything a 5 as there’s always room for improvement so take the 4 to be a 5 I guess.

Finally a great burger place! Have been there multiple times and we will keep going. All their fodd is excellent but especaiily the burgers. Their beef patties are amazing, containing actual beef and they are always super juicy! They have a tone of Gluten free options as well, which as a gluten intolerant, it makes this place my go-to choice. Hand made fries and their GF buns are great, compared to other places where they are either too small or too dry. Even when we take out, their buns are still nice and hot. Their fried chicken is also GF but my husband cannot tell a difference. It's great that they also change their menu and have specials, like the one with fries and beef only we recently tried! Amazing!!

This place is epic. Went for the first time yesterday for lunch and I already want to go again. Went for the cawsburger which as you can see from the photo was delicious. Meat tasted sooo good. Had kiev fries which were truffle and garlic. Again a win. But the star of the show was the cherry cola bbq chicken wings. They were out of this world. Go here just got those. They were cooked to perfection and had such a nice taste. They’re amazing. I will definitely go again

Disco bingo event was great value for money and didn’t disappoint based on their regular exceptional standards. Fully recommend!

I am vegetarian but my partner enjoyed the burger. I had the vegetarian burger and unfortunately it was really disappointing. The Kiev fries were very nice. Overall though we are not sure it’s worth the money.

Absolutely Lush! Would highly recommend!

So disappointed left the restaurant before ordering as music so loud - we a party of 3 left and an another couple turned around at the door for the same reason. Great for the 3 people in the restaurant but not for us 5 in total - really uninviting atmosphere

Probably the best burger and loaded fries I've ever eaten.

Cawsburger is one of the best things about Hitchin!!! My only gripe is that no other burger lives up to these, rendering all other burger experiences slightly disappointing....! The burgers are meaty perfection, crispy edged yet juicy, the chicken is moist & tender & the choice of toppings/sauces is incredible. Staff are fabulous, drinks are great and all in all it's top marks from me. Thank you ❤️

It’s not an exaggeration to say these burgers are life changing! The best burgers in the game and it’s been amazing to see how they’ve grown the business. Can’t wait for my next trip ASAP 🩷

Amazing !! The best burger I have ever eaten. The variety of amazing burgers here is honestly amazing

This place is a MUST visit! The burgers are literally amazing! You can tell these guys use high-quality ingredients. The sides are great too. Staff are friendly and helpful. I frequently go here with friends and love it!

Both the beef and chicken burgers are great, rotating specials means I never get bored of the menu either. Sauces/toppings are top notch. Don’t overlook the sides and milkshakes. The strips and fries are both tasty. Would especially recommend Nashville strips and chip shop fries. Service is always friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to grab some napkins, as things can get messy (in a good way!). Have also tried them via Go Getters and always found the food travelled well. A tasty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

LOVE this place, burgers are amazing, best burgers around and always a fan of the fries 🍟 ❤️ have to stop myself coming back or ordering on go getters on a weekly basis! Staff are always friendly and great atmosphere too.

Best burgers ever! Such great food and service every time, whether eating in or taking away.

This place is just so damn good. Setting the bench for quality burgers 🤤

My boyfriend raves about this place and calls it his "death row meal" so I was pleased when he invited me along. Their burgers are sooo good. I went for a chicken burger and was not disappointed, lovely chips too and a fun selection of drinks. Thanks Cawsburger!

I came to cawsburger because I heard great things about it, travelled an hour to try it out! Waited long for the food, burger was dry… service was shocking aswell.. I will definitely not be going back again, will be stopping at McDonald’s more often and that’s saying something. Will also be telling people that want to go to not bother. Worst burger place around…

When back in the area I always have to stop by at cawsburger! As a self confessed mayophobe it’s difficult to get a burger anywhere with any flavour that isn’t either dry or swimming in the stuff. The staff at cawsburger always smash my specific request of ‘a thin layer only for the flavour but so I don’t really know I’m eating it’ Love all their specials, they’re killing it. Can’t wait to try out their new St Albans location. Keep doing what you’re doing. The chips were great.

Absolutely awesome! Best buns in town!!! Best buns in Hertfordshire! I’ve been a few times to CAWSBURGER and I’ve not had a bad meal, burgers are off the chart, nuggets are superb, tender and full of flavour. Service is fantastic and the restaurant is gleaming! Well done guys I’ll be sure to be back. EXCELLENT

Hands down the best burgers I've ever eaten, definitely worth the 60 mile round trip!

Definitely the best burgers I've ever had. Have tried a fair few of the options now, the 'Ham Jam Thank You Ma'am' is definitely the favourite, closely followed by 'Every Day We're Trufflin'. The fries are all top tier as well! Great service to top it all off. Would 100% recommend to a friend!!

My worst restaurant experience of 2024. I went to Cawsburger following a lot of the hype. I was greeted by a sterile environment, and even more sterile staff. The boy who took my order had his feet on the counter and was sat like he couldn't care less if I had lunch there, and cared less if I enjoyed it. After being refused physical menus, my friend and I ordered a few things to share. Sat in the clean, plastic coated and empty restaurant I found myself feeling in a limbo space between McDonald's and Hollywood Bowl. Our food came and I started with the Cawsburger. A burger designed purely for the eye, but never for the taste. It was wet and mushy, greasy and lacking in any real flavor other than cheese and a mayonnaise based sauce. It was as though the chef had learned to cook purely through watching TikTok videos and wasn't allowed to taste anything he made. Is this company policy? Major dissatisfaction. The second was some Korean style nuggets. If you have sainsburys frozen chicken nuggets, Sriracha and honey, you don't need to come to Cawsburger, this is the recipe. The chips were fine. Cawsburger is the sort of restaurant where Instagram likes matter more than customer experience, a burger is meant to be photographed not eaten, and where mixing prebought sauces with mayo is considered 'cooking'. In a town with so many great independent restaurants, don't waste your time here. Chicken George is waiting for you my friend, Cafe 77 and Cantina Carnitas welcome you with open arms. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I aaaaabsolutely love this place. Have been many times and often pick it as my birthday treat! Love the flavour combos but my fave is the double caws. Simple but amazing. Beef is high quality, buns are lush. Highly recommend.

Been a few times and burgers have always been amazing

I wasn’t a fan of burgers until I tried Cawsburger! All the food is of exceptional quality, with really imaginative toppings/sauces. Absolutely delicious and a real treat every time I go!

Great for GLUTEN FREE these guys know what they are talking about when it comes to allergens. Lunch deal is fantastic value for money! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for burgers in hitchin! Also Charlie is a bit of a legend! Good food good music and good people! You only have to go there when there is an event on in the town and see how long the que is to know people love cawsburger!

Had the best chicken burger of my life here and the chips were 10/10 - amazing place!

The food was amazing, staff were very helpful and welcoming, I would highly recommend a visit here
