C.R.A.F.T Burger in Oxford

First time visit following recommendation from local guest house. Sadly, I can’t extend that recommendation, especially if you are vegan. Firstly, the positives - the staff and the service were both excellent. Food intolerance was taken very seriously and I felt well looked after. Unfortunately, the burger itself was fairly average (not bad at all, just not special) and the sweet potato fries weren’t good. That would be 3 stars. The reason for dropping to 2 stars was something I’ve never experienced anywhere else… With a food intolerance, I’d asked for a vegan bun instead of the brioche bun the burger would normally be served with. I cannot see how these days I could possibly be charged an extra £2 specifically for the ‘vegan bun’ itemised on the receipt. Perhaps if you’re a vegan, there’s a question of why you’d be in a burger bar. But if you’re a vegan, I would prepare for feeling like a second class citizen. Friendly staff, but average food and inequitable treatment of vegans.

Good food but expensive for the portion of food you receive. Also the waitress charged us for 3 portions of fries when we only had 2.

Lovely restaurant, great service, and the food was fantastic!

By far the best burger & fries in Oxford - and I’ve tried them all! I have eaten in and ordered from Craft. Quality is consistently excellent - portions are generous. Local business, not a chain. Hollywood burger and truffle fries are amazing. Thank you!!! Carla :)

Great service and food was really nice. The buffalo wings were exceptional! Really loved the burger it was juicy and cheesy! The onion rings made in house were crispy and flavourful.

Fabulous food snd great service from Theo and Henry! Hardly a chip left between us.

Really tasty burgers and great chips. Super fast service, clean restaurant and facilities. Also great playlist!

The burgers are great. The staff are very friendly. Spacious, clean and welcoming restaurant. My kids love trying to solve the weekly riddle and the American style milkshakes. We love the kids 'eat for free on a Monday' promotion. Only suggestion, please add more vegan options to the menu.

Best burger, kebab and everything good place to spend time and eat

Second time I go in many years. Meat was execellent (no fat). Dirty fries were proper dirty! The Naked Burger is amazing and a great choice for those in No Carb Diets ! Beers are served in frozen glasses to keep teh beer nice and cold longer. Good service and prompt food served to your table !

Very good burgers, location and normal service. Medium-high prices like everything else in the UK nowadays.

Really friendly staff and good service and food. Perfect for anyone following the ketogenic diet with plenty of starters and the choice of having a naked burger, with the house salad being so good that even if I wasn't keto I'd choose it over the bun anyway. Will be returning

Great restaurant, food delicious , staff very friendly , service exceptional, and great prices , maybe just limited on cider front but hey ho , would recommend and return

We attended for father day lunch. Food was well prepared, portion sizes were fine for lunch.

Very good food, one of the best ever. Prices a little above average

Amazing burgers, easily the best in Oxfordshire and around. I went for the Oxford blue, halloumi fries and a strawberry milkshake. Service was actually excellent and the restaurant had a real nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

My favourite place to get a burger in the whole of Oxford...the Oxford Blue Burger is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten...and I've eaten some great burgers.

Das Restaurant bietet über die klassischen Burger auch einige andere Varianten an. Hier sticht vor allem für Vegetarier geeignete "Halumni-Burger" mit einem sehr leckeren Grillkäse heraus. Beim Pig & Cow Burger ist vor allem der Bacon sehr gelungen. Er war sehr knusprig und saftig. Genauso das Patty. Es war sehr gut gebraten und schmackhaft, vor allem in Verbindung mit der Burgersauce. Die Beilagen waren auch sehr gut. Die Rosmarin-Pommes waren sehr knusprig und die Onionrings waren knusprig von außen und von innen noch gut saftig. Zusätzlich gibt es an jedem Tisch Ketchup und Mayonnaise umsonst und so viel man möchte.

They should try to make you feel a bit more welcome.. and put napkins when it’s for take away ..

I was looking for a place around for a nice burger and found this one with good reviews and decided give a try. The place is small but well decorated and nice. You can book your table online, we did just around 30 minutes before showing up on Friday night and it was alright. I chose the chicken burger with broa and it was delicious and tasty. The other burger was the pig and cow (the online picture shows a double smashed burger with loads of bacon but apparently it was an option while ago, the option now is 1 thicker patty, not as nice as expected for the smashed version, might be worth bringing smash version back, I will leave as suggestion here. Milkshake and fries were average, good choice when eating burger but nothing special about them. Homemade mayo is a nice touch, much appreciated.

Best burgers in Oxford! I had an Oxford blue and it was done to perfection. Sides are also great, we had excellent onion rings and coleslaw. Lovely people and great service. Well worth getting the bus up to Headington for!

Craft Burger Haddington is by far the best burger place I've been to in the last four years. I go back at least once a month for Simon Smith which has recently changed off the menu but they still make it for me. 10 out of 10 customer service and value for money! I must have had almost 30 burgers now so trust me when I say it’s the best place around.

Great cozy restaurant! Fabulous service and great atmosphere. I loved how accommodating they were with my diet and changed the bun with salad. The burger patty was also fabulous, not the groundy goodness knows what made off patty, but actual real muscle meat bbqued on a grill.

Nice environment and friendly staff but the burger was decidedly average, especially in comparison to my burger at Honest Burgers in Windsor a few weeks ago. Honest Burgers is in a completely different quality league plus the chips/ side are included in the price of the burger whereas I paid an extra £3.50 at CRAFT.

Amazing burgers - wings are fab too

I’ve just tried this burger restaurant and it was very very nice. I had a little American burger with dirty fries. The taste was amazing. Really great sauce. Staff with a smile on the face. Place is clean. Toilets are clean. Really good experience guys well done

I expected much more: the service is very basic, I think it is run by people with their first experience in catering. the food itself has nothing exceptional: a hamburger like many others with a flavor and a choice of ingredients that are everything but not welcoming. £61 for a beer, a portion of chips and 4 mediocre burgers is too much, the price is also disproportionate.

Great burgers friendly staff 😋 👌

We just had a lovely meal at CRAFT Burger. Thank you.

A nice spot to grab a burger. The food is really tasty and I would probably come back, but I'm not going to give it 5* as I think it is too expensive for what it is. My burger, the 'vgangster' was £14.24 and does not come with fries. (There is an additional service charge which we were not made aware of)

Not as good as when they first opened. Awful now.

Been here before and loved the food, very disappointed this time, fish burger was over cooked and very dry, won’t be coming back for a while tbh, staff however were very friendly

This place does have some of the tastiest burgers in town. I was visiting on Monday and Pig and Cow burger was juicy and flavorful on a toasted brioche bun. My wife try Chiken and the chicken itself was juicy and fried perfectly. The place has a nice atmosphere that would pair well with meeting friends for a bite and drinks and just catching a game.

Had an excellent meal here - got the burger without a bun and it arrived on top of a yummy, big salad - no extra! Absolutely delicious burger! Will be back. And as Americans, the 10% service charge feels like a bargain to us and very fair. The service was excellent.

Pretty nice Burgers but a little pricy.

Truly special menu, vast selection of excellent beers. A little expensive, but worth the price.

Food was really nice but very expensive over the top price two small burgers two halloumi fries and dirty Fries £42

Unfortunately they've recently changed the menu and the best burgers are no longer available. Having been around 8-10 times in the past it's always been spot on. However prices have gone up significantly. Used to be the best burger place in Oxford. Unfortunately no longer.

A great burger place in Headington! Their veggie burger is made with courgette patty - really good! And their fries are very fresh. The only downside was they had a digital menu, but you have to wait the waiter to come to your table to take the order. We were waiting for a bit to get the order and pay, as it was quite busy. Hopefully, they can allow ordering directly on the menu. Will definitely come back!

Good burger and beer but somewhat dry buns and high prices, draught beer and mustard appreciated

Great food, homemade sauces and patties full of flavour. Friendly staff, and good sized portions. Strong recommendation.

Excellent all round. Friendly helpful staff. Great food. Thank you

Delicious burger, friendly staff, speedy service. Great inside / outside seating

Had a lovely meal, reasonably priced

Love craft burger! Have been a couple times now with friends and also my partner! The food is always lovely as is the service. Exceptionally good milkshakes 😄

Lovely food! Had Halloumi Fries with Sweet Chill Sauce for starter, and Chicken Out burger for main. Burger is a very generous size and the spice is just right, lovely food and service.

Great little restaurant in the center of Headington Shops. The panko chicken and brie is great. Brie bites are tasty too.

Nothing really special. The food was quite bland and boring. The service was quite basic and by someone who clearly didn't want to be there. I was told that my drinks could be ordered via a QR code or the server and the menus are on the table. It became apparent she didn't know the choices, kept referring me to the QR code and only able to recommend one Spirit from the vast range available. The atmosphere was quiet, relaxed and family friendly for an early Friday evening

Good good. Great atmosphere. Just a great neighborhood burger joint.

Best burgers in Oxford, highly recommend. Headington is great for food, but craft burger breathes a lot of life into the area. Highly recommend both their meat and vegan, vegitarian options, and great options for drinks (Tap Social beer on tap)

Amazing burger joint. The burgers are simply incredible. The Oxford Blue burger was off the charts delicious. Amazing burger. The sides were sensational; the dirty fries were splendid and the coleslaw was excellent. A pint of Asahi on the side was a great addition. Lovely stuff.

Great place, I come here whenever I'm in Oxford

Myself and partner travel around regularly to eat at different places. We have been here a couple of times now, most definitely in our top 5 👍🏽

Took a walk around the Headington area,stumbled across craft burgers. We hadn't had a proper burger for a long time,so gave it a try. We weren't disappointed. In fact,we both agreed that it was probably the best burger we have had. Cooked just right. Nice people serving. Plenty of options on the menu. Very clean throughout the restaurant. Recommended for sure. We will be back

Forgot to write a review after our first visit so rectifying that now. Fantastic burgers, friendly vibe & really great service. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Solid and juicy burger with delectable pickles. Definetly worth trying out if you're craving a quick bit of beef.

My first visit here, just passing through. I had a delicious chicken burger - Al Capone - coated in panko breadcrumbs with garlic mayo and other trimmings, served in a brioche bun and a side order of crispy sweet potato fries and a glass of wine. Fast, polite service.

Great staff good price fab food

This place is amazing. I came here with my partner and the food was brilliant and the two staff working tonight were absolutely great. Definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!

Great food and service. One of the best burgers I’ve had in quite while and my third visit in the last 6 months. Filled up as we arrived with a really nice mix of families, couples and single diners. Tap Social beer on tap was a bonus and delicious.

Wonderful burger restaurant with good value for money. Easily the best proper burger restaurant in Oxford overall. The burger came with a juicy patty and a good sauce, the shake was excellent, and the whole place had a very pleasant atmosphere.

Excellent environment and luckily the food is just as good.

Burger was good, fries and coleslaw were excellent and the strawberry milkshake was a dream come true.

The food is always so good, juicy delicious burgers. The service also efficient, friendly and prompt.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to! Really great food! Friendly service! Interesting decor. Nice atmosphere. Thank you for tolerating my bonkers 5 year old who was totally on one yesterday!

Come here all the time. Relaxed vibe, great staff but most importantly - the best burgers you’ll find. I’m a Vegan and the Kumara is just sensational. Full of taste, big portion. It’s food done right.

For what it's worth the quality of the food is amazing, the restaurant is clean and the staff are great. Would definitely come again!

Had to pay £6 in total for delivery etc... and waited over 2 hours for a 'delivery ' which never happened so had to reorder and it was cold, soggy and disgusting! Absolutely appalling service and no food standards! With no apology or offer for refund! Don't bother

Fantastic food, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend

Consistently great. I’ve visited many times and it’s always brilliant which isn’t always easy to achieve. Staff are nice and happy to help the menu choice covers pretty much any taste and the prices represent good value in my opinion.

Service with a smile and food is delicious

Wow best burger I have had in a long time ! You should stop and try it x lovely ladies as well

Really enjoyed the burger - truly delicious along with the house slaw!

Always a pleasure to dine with Craft. Always hit the spot and the burgers . Definitely a go to if you want a good one. Staff always friendly and quick service

Craft burger never fails to deliver. The burgers are always delicious, even when ordering take out. The food is also reasonably priced and the portions are good. The staff are super friendly as well. Definitely recommend.

A great restaurant, friendly efficient service in a great setting. The burgers were bang on with a good selection of drinks.

Very tasty and a wide range of fries.

Burgers were juicy and tasty as always! Service was good and very quick and efficient. Great selection of drinks too. Best restaurant in Headington!

Nice place, nice kitchen, very unfortunate that we were told a closed kitchen when it was time to have dessert.

Amazing food.A very good atmosphere and friendly staff

Amazing restaurant made it special for my mums birthday , food is amazing , really reasonable, highly reccomend

Everything about here - the decor, music played, lovely staff, service, food and prices are excellent! I never order more drinks just to stay longer for the atmosphere, but I did here!! Well worth a visit.

In burger place you should be ask how you want your burger. Unfortunately CB doesn't ask. Apart from burger being quite well done (I prefer medium) it was good. They charge you 10% more (it's in the menu). I think tips are not mandatory, so nope.

Best burger I have eaten in UK......easily....I enjoyed my meal being served at a clean table by a polite and efficient waitress.....served a craft beer from the tap in a frosty glass, my two boys enjoying their thick milkshakes....and the price was about the same as Five Guys. I know where I will be returning......

The food is really good and full of flavour. we even had food delivered to our house, it never lost its perfection. the price is little steep.

Popped in for lunch after my wifes hospital appointment. Extremely impressed as this was our 1st visit (definitely won't be our last) I had the shitake beef burger, my wife had the chicken panko and we shared the dirty fries. All cooked fresh and came out in good time everything tasted amazing, their dirty fries were incredible best we've ever had we could've had jalapeños but we asked for them without. A great first visit we'll definitely be back again. Thank you 😊

Super friendly and chilled place, with really tasty food.

Quiet mid afternoon burger. Oxford Blue, rosemary fries and Cheese fries. Good burgers.

Authentic and delicious burgers with exciting sides.. good place to hang out.. highly recommended ❤️

Excellent had forgotten how good the food was

If you're looking for some tasty and massive comfort food in Headington, this is a great option. Portions were massive, the food was tasty, the service was fast and the pricing wasn't too bad. We are vegetarian, and were happy with the chocies. The courgette patty was very nice, almost like a large courgette fritter. The staff also allowed us to substitute vegetarian patties into the non-veggie side of the menu, so you're not just limited to the veggie section! I had a coke float, which was nostalgic but super sweet and sugary (no surprises there). We massively underestimated the portion sizes, and had way too much food, so some was enjoyed for lunch the next day!

Amazing, would recommend and I plan on going again. The relationship between quality and price is just perfect

I ate here while taking a short break from visiting the Jon Radcliff hospital. It's an easy walk and a much welcome food improvement. I was delightfully impressed by Craft Burger. The menu is short, which means each item comes out well prepared and in a quick manner. The buffalo wings I had for a starter were not the largest wings I've had, but they were delicious. This was followed up by an El Diablo burger that was well cooked with nicely balanced flavours/toppings. Food is complimented by a great choice of beers, soft drinks and fresh milkshake. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. Sadly, I have to remove a star. I know this is more my issue, but I absolutely hate the culture of tipping. The menu stated that 10% is automatically added to the bill, which can be removed. I think this is an awful practice and coerces people into paying tips, or creates an awkward moment when you ask it is removed. Rant over. Great food. Great staff. I would very much recommend a visit.

Superb. But little 2expensive.

Food was good. However, it was expensive for what it was as you had to add on fries (which added an extra cost). Expensive for as burger and chips I thought. I found the food very salty but that's my personal taste.

Not many great restaurants in Oxford, however this is a hidden gem. Oxford blue burger is always my go to when coming here. The balance of flavours is done really well. The dirty fries (without bacon) are so moreish. The dirty sauce is very unique and very tasty. Have been here several times and never disappointed.

If you are ever in Oxford and you fancy a burger, this is the place to visit! We visit Oxford 2-3 times a year for a break and to check in on family, we always make sure we swing by this restaurant. The taste of their burgers is almost magical and their fries are to die for!

Really great food. Ordered quite a mix from starters to mains via Deliveroo. Was delivered promptly however there was a slight (fairly unavoidable sometimes) mistake as some of the food moved around during delivery and spilled a bit. The service was fantastic as the restaurant reorganised a new order super promptly and which was delivered quickly. Staff were helpful. Food was fantastic.

Went here with my family for lunch and will certainly be coming again! Atmosphere was great, we were served by a girl called Olivia who not only assisted us in choosing our meals so every family member was happy and catered for, but also displayed exceptional service that made our experience here pleasant. Lovely food, even lovelier service.

This place is excellent! The staff were so lovely too. I was served by Olivia who was so nice and helpful. Our food came very quickly. I had a Little American- which was delish! Couldn't praise them enough! I will be back soon!
