Came here in the off chance for lunch after a review on Instagram. Service staff were great and friendly seating me as soon as I walked in.Had a large chai latte and a double chicken breast burger with a side of chips.Latter was really nice and the double fried chicken burger was cooked perfectly, so tasty and HUGE! Can’t wait to go back.

Nice to be back to super Crafty Burgers! So yummy…to be honest, just a burger would have worked.We ordered a couple of items off of the children menu for a fussy adult! Nice draught lager finished the meal off nicely. Tables were nicely spaced which was good..table staff all wore masks to give confidence that Covid measures were still in place.Our only points for review is that were the staff were sat outside of the door as we had arrived 10 minutes (before it opened). At least one of the staff was sat smoking…maybe a table away from the entrance would be better? The staff remained at the table until 5pm when it opened. Would customers be allowed to smoke at these tables?We were sat at the top of the stairs and the glass was spattered with ”splashes” of something.. and the table was slightly sticky. (Although with the cleaning products that a lot of venues are using can cause this, rather than it not being cleaned well enough.)All in all, great to be back to the devine Crafty Burgers and one of the people I came with had said the burger was just superb! Best they had eaten for quite some time!

Between us we had a variety of beef and veggie burgers, and we were all satisfied. Interesting selection of fries too; I enjoyed the wurst fries. And my nephew loved the chicken nuggets from the children’s menu - a huge portion! Service was very friendly. Only downside was the sole choice of lager on draught; none of us loved it, and it was a bit tepid.

Crafty Burger is my go-to after a tough week! The Crafty Poet XL, with whatever dirty fries offering they're doing is the best. I don't get the people who've had a bad experience, we've been going for years (and this year Ubereats) and never had anything less than amazing food and beer. Best burger in Leicester as far as I'm concerned. I've just finished a CPXL and felt it was well past the time to write a review. 10/10 (I am not employed by Craft Burger).

My daughter had decided weeks ago that she wanted a Crafty Burger for her birthday meal, so we had a table booked. Unfortunately, Boris and Rona had other ideas and put the country on a national lockdown. Thankfully, Crafty were able to make her birthday wish come true and delivered our burgers via Uber Eats! The burgers and fries were still warm on arrival and tasted amazing! Glad we could still support you guys durning lockdown :)

We arrived at crafty to what should have been a relaxed meal to firstly find our table had been given away. We were eventually seated next to a very rude and rowdy table of 4 who smashed a glass which reached our table, spoke rudely to the staff and were not wearing masks. The food was however AMAZING as always it’s a shame our evening was ruined. We did get an apology from the staff and a few sweets.

Visited Crafty’s very recently, and was really looking forward to a good quality burger after missing the ones in London & Dubai. Knew that this was meant to be the best spot in Leicester for burgers and did visit here some years ago! The food was really greasy, lacking in good flavour, and overall disappointing. The sauces were nice (for the fries).. the burgers were sloppy and heavy! Honestly, any burger lovers need to try other spots because I’ve had so much better! Also disappointed that the toilets were rank especially during these times... makes you judge the kitchens :( ... Staff were lovely... Overall, had a burger king earlier in the day and felt it was more satisfactory and worth the money! And thats quite shocking. Both me and my friend felt exactly the same.

I went to crafty burger with two friends during the Covid period and thought the staff coped fantastically well and the food was excellent.I had the standard cheeseburger and it was fantastic. The burger sauce was really good but didn’t take away from flavour of the burger. I would definitely ask for more burger sauce to dip your fries into!My friends both had chicken burgers which looked great (they told me they were the best chicken burgers in Leicester so good for the non beef eater)The staff were very attentive and handled a couple of awkward requests from us very well. The only negative was that the house lager was a bit closer to IPA which is fine if that’s what you’re into but wasn’t quite what I was after

Going downhill..Positives: - nice atmosphere, soft brioche bun, one guests chicken burger looked tasty- Cute tableware and an affluent location but will only get them so far..they’re still riding off the popularity of their golden days and atmosphere Negatives: - no longer serve the high quality fries ,just standard frozen chips now- Waitress, lovely but was clueless about menu ,better training needed. Also didn’t do basic things like repeat order back once taken which could lead to mistakes - terrible if someone has bad allergy . - On allergy note didn’t ask if anyone at the table had any allergies they should be aware of ,concerning since I’ve seen they now have dishes with peanuts in - Also you can’t really specify how you’d like your burger, options are ‘pink or cooked through’. One guest asked for theirs pink and came well done anyway..thought with two options it would be easier. - most respectable burger joints have a separate option if you’d just like a smaller,plain burger due to dietary requirements/ fussy kids or whatever reason (which I’m so sure they used to). However, the cheapest burger they serve has a load of toppings. The waitress explained if you wanted it without everything you’d still have to pay full price. So literally ended up paying £12 for bread and meat. Very sly because they know most people will take off at least a couple toppings but they can ‘justify’ the price with all the toppings on there..- Soft drinks are £2.50 which is okay if it’s a large glass nicely presented with ice, lemon, straw etc in a upscale restaurant but they literally give you a can (this may be due to corona though, but charging that much for a can is still cheeky) I understand times are hard right now for business but you’re not going to get long term support by lowering your standard but keeping your prices the same.. I feel let down and overcharged. If you’re going to be charging that much for a burger..you at least need fresh hand cut high quality chips and especially ability to specify how it’s cooked and done properly. Place is literally just a gentrified Burger King otherwise. Shame to say but won’t be coming back in a hurry.

Myself, my wife and family struggled to find a suitable location in the City Centre due to most places not actually implementing any social distancing rules and as we had a young baby with us we wanted to be comfortable where we ate.Crafty came to the rescue! We used to visit often for coffee and snacks but hadn’t been able to pop by for a while but are so glad we came back and it was well worth the wait.Having been fortunate to have eaten at some great restaurants over the years we’ve experienced good service and the guys at Crafty truly are in that bracket of amazing service, exceptional in fact - very attentive and efficient our table didn’t need to wait for anything the whole process was super slick and comfortable. Every member of staff really cares about the service and asks if everything is ok with sincerity.Now onto the food! Super fresh and tasty from the burgers and toppings to the delicious fries it really was an outstanding meal from the kitchen to the front of house. We will definitely be back again soon to say hello and can’t wait for it! Thanks a lot.Hinesh & Teresa

Having been to crafty many times and with the current climate I was relieved to hear that they were doing deliveries and take outs. Ordered over the phone because was unable to do so though an app. The person on the phone was really helpful and was very accomodating. The food was ready for when we arrived which was excellent. When we got home the food was still warm and particularly liked that the boxes they came in opened out so you could use them like a plate. The food was just as amazing as it is eating in. The flavours were amazing and the bacon within the burger was cooked perfectly. My partner had a chicken burger and the coating was still crispy and he said the flavours were amazing aswell. Overall one of the best take out experiences I've had and will certainly be using it again.

And that feeling was mutual with everyone else that has come with me. Will always recommend Crafty Burger for a good place to have a good burger. Looking forward to the next time we go!

6 of us dined at Crafty last night with 2 of the group having been several times and 4 of us not. I’m only speaking for myself, the rest of the group enjoyed it, without finding it amazing.Didn’t start well when my drink was wrong, a dark rum and ginger turned up and was light rum. Easily done, move on. Onion bhaji burger was very over cooked, black around the edges so was just a bun filled with charred onion really, the centre did have a lovely flavour, I’ll give it that. The fries were horrendous quite honestly. Just regular fries for me, which were starchy, overcooked slithers of potato with a fear of seasoning by the looks of it. No salt or pepper on the table either but I’d just prefer to see that, appreciate why some places don’t. Certainly wasn’t worth waiting for as my fries and another of the loaded ones took 5 minutes more than the rest of the table to arrive. At no point were we asked if we wanted more drinks. The place was busy, so I think it was down to resource rather than attitude as when we did get a minute with a member of staff, she was attentive and personable.Oh and avoid the toilets, you’d be better going in the street. Floor covered in toilet roll (none to actually use), a bin thag didn’t fit so you had to do the krypton factor to get in and shut the door without slamming it into the bin and just generally not clean (seems a recurring theme looking through some other reviews). The soap however, smelt incredible!

Had been before and really enjoyed the food so decided to book a table as a post-valentines treat however, sadly left disappointed. The veggie beanie burger has been dropped and you now have a choice of 2 mushrooms in a bun (not a burger!) or an onion bhaji which seems a bit sad compared to the extensive meaty offerings. I went for the smoked mushroom which wasnt bad, just lacked a bit of substance compared to the multitude of protein-based options that there are on the market now. The chips however were awful! I ate about 5 of them but couldn't stomach the rest, they were all tiny pieces of oil-saturated crispy bits with virtually no potato. Ended up leaving pretty much all of them which made my mushroom-in-a-bun meal at £12 seem extremely expensive. Sorry Crafty but you missed the mark for me this time!

Really like crafty burger because of the burgers! Good choice and very tasty! I’ve been twice in a month - purely for the burgers.My only issue with the food is the chips - they are so disappointing. They are so over-cooked. Really let’s the burger down, luckily the burgers are so big you don’t go hungry.Also please please please can someone at Crafty Burger / St Martin’s Coffee House clean the toilets properly - they are what I can only describe as vile (both times I went so it wasn’t a one off). Puts you off your food!

They even unexpected put a sparkler candle in his burger to wish him happy birthday. He has the El Rojo burger with Wurst Fries and i had the farmyard Jam burger with spanish fries. It was absolutely the best burger I've had in years. Will be returning!! The normal size is extremely filling and you will have a food coma!

I have previously reviewed crafty when we first visited and after so many more times I feel the need to review again. I have tried most burgers on the menu and think that the quality of food is fantastic. I have just tried the crispy clucker and it was amazing the chicken was so tasty and the seasoning on it was fantastic. This was not spoilt by the other flavours in the burger in fact they complimented it well. The staff at crafty deserve a reward for how good their customer service is. Tonight there was one waitress/manager who went out of her way to help and noting was too much. It's a shame that I do not know her name.

Always rated this place and always said they are best burgers in town. Unfortunately last few visits haven't lived up to that, when they first opened they were unbeatable but I personally think standards aren't as good at the moment. Food has also been luke warm at best. Still very good burgers but need to get to how they were a couple of years ago !!!

Very satisfying visit to this place. Nice options of BIG burgers to choose from. Great service and reasonable value for money considering the size of the dishes. Would definitely visit again.

Went with a group of friends, and because there’s a few burger places about I wasn’t really expecting it to stand out. But I can honestly say I was gobsmacked by how good the food was! I had a chicken burger and no word of a lie, best one of my life. Then the Mac and cheese bites, holy macaroni!! Absolutely peng. Friendly staff too. Only downside I’d say we’re the toilets, flush was broken in one and they weren’t the cleanest. Might of just been my experience though.

From staff to location, vibe to drinks this place has it before you even tuck into a burger. It's the second time I have been and the second time I have been entirely satisfied. Having scoffed burgers around the world this is right up there with the best of them. If Man Vs Food ever comes here as a hidden gem.. he struck gold instead!

Against my better judgement I went back for a second time as my first experience was not very good. How I wish I hadn't listened again to my friends insistence of trying this restaurant for a second time, to put it bluntly, the service is awful & inattentive ( almost as though they're doing you a favor!) I requested for my burger to be pink in the middle "how hard should this be as they only serve burgers! the burger was overcooked and gristled with lumps of fat. You can safely say I will never be returning to this restaurant and cannot understand the unwarranted hype.

I have stated in the past this is possibly the best burger I have ever had, but I am afraid that is no more. A very disappointing visit, I ordered a mixed burger with one patty and one butter milk coated chicken and it was poor. The chicken could have been ham (yes sounds strange but the quality very poor) the burger fell to pieces and there was far too much filling covering up all the problems. They have stopped selling the crab burger which was my sons favourite. The place was comfortably busy.

If you are looking for high quality burgers & fries made from locally sourced produce...do not look any further- go Crafty! Get your fries pimped too- you won’t regret it! Highly recommended

Great food. Really great. Probably the best veggie burger I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. Portion size was very generous and the pimped up chips defeated everyone in terms of cleaning the plate! Garnishes in burgers are inspired.

Went for a catch up with friends. The prices are reasonable for what you get. The chips are really great. The burgers were cooked well - although I expected to be asked how we wanted it cooked. Some of the photos looked better than mine.

Always busy in here and I can see why. The burgers are insanely good and so are the pork bites. Even though it's busy, they do always try and fit you in. You might just have to sit on a stool. Another great St Martin's food place!

Popular restaurant with outdoor seating in one of the better parts of Leicester. Beside very crafty burgers which are delicious, the place serves also very tasteful craft beer all served with a smile.

We were tired towards the end of a long day and after walking aimlessly around the Lanes area we stumbled on this place and it ticked all our boxes for a quick and easy meal. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our burgers and the friendly service.

Be under no illusions, there is nothing delicate here. You will get mucky and you will feel fuller than a doctor would perhaps advise. But the burgers...oh my god! The fundamentals of the bread and beef are exceptional quality (the beef is cooked pink as it should be, although you can choose to have it well done) and every addition is considered, worthwhile and delicious. Ingredients are sourced locally, cooked properly and there is enough quirkiness to make each option exciting in it's own way without becoming pretentious or inaccessible! Veggies and vegans are catered for and prices are in no way extravagant. Crafty firmly kicks the backside of the chain companies that promise so much but ultimately serve disappointment - I'm looking at you GBK, Byron, Handmade co. and Five Guys.

WOW, this place blew me away... from the amazing tasting Pigcorn poppers & crunchy Chicken wings to the presentation of the food. The burger (El Chapo) was fresh with a burst of many flavours! I had the Cheeky fries which were covered in meat & cheese. You can tell this place puts a lotta love into the building & the food. It’s also important that we support little independent gems like this. Keep up the cracking service & great tasting burgers. The burgers do come pink in the middle but they are more than happy to cook them through (don’t be afraid to ask)

The food is lovely but the portion size has got dramatically smaller. It’s a shame as I’ve always loved going to Crafty.

Been to crafty a few times now and it never disappoints. If you want a quality burger which isn't ov ercooked and is full of flavour then this is the place to come. Tried the El Gordo with pimped fries this weekend. Just wow! If you are going to go for a burger then go here... I would recommend booking in advance as it's often packed.

Went here with friends on a Friday night and we had booked beforehand. Lovely atmosphere, nice beers and friendly staff. I found it a little difficult to find because I first through it was a coffee shop but I wasn't paying attention properly! I had the vegan burger and though I'm not vegan, I didn't want the vegetarian option but this was brilliant! Usually Vegan/Vegatarian options can be dry and flavourless, this wasn't. The burger was big, well flavoured and the accompanying fries were great too! Good selection of beers and I'd say it's definitely the best burger joint in Leicester. Will be visiting again.

I have been a fan of The Good Earth for some time and was intrigued as to how they would adapt to covid-secure guidelines. Brilliantly, is the answer! They take you to a table, give you the day’s disposable menu, and when you’re ready you go to the till to order and pay. Food came about 20 minutes later and was absolutely delicious. They made a much prettier salad plate than I could have done too. Two mains, two juices and two teas was £20, and they now take cards. The place has clearly been deep cleaned over lockdown as the carpet looked especially vibrant. Hurrah for The Good Earth.
