Honest Burgers in Cardiff

6.48/10 I have tried this place in Manchester and I have to say it’s amazing, although I don’t recommend take away. The burgers were not perfectly made as always and the fries were not the best. I recommend this place as a dine in only. The staff were friendly and service was fast.

Excellent food, one of the best burgers we have ever eaten. Not the biggest portions, but on the other hand you won`t leave bloated :)

It is Tuesday, 10:30 pm and this was the best burger I’ve ever had!!! Lovely manager! Try the honest beef burger and the halloumi honest beef.

the burgers are exceptional, sitting outside is looovely

Amazing food! The whole meal was fantastic and the vegan options were so tasty!! I had a salad with mine and even that was slathered in naughty goodness! Perfect meal. Good food, good drinks, good location. Will definitely come back!

Absolutely amazing food, we don't get much time away from the kids , so when we do we really like to relax and this experience did exactly that. We are pretty sure our server was abi. She was amazing and very helpful when deciding our meals. She was so friendly and the rest of the staff too, but she was absolutely manning the ship! Was very busy at one point and she still kept a smile. Thanks abi and thanks honest we will be back but next time with the kids .

Excellent Gluten Free range. The burgers were fantastic and the onion rings are to die for!! We also had the legendary gravy as well - 😘.It was madly busy when we went and even though we had a reservation, we still needed to wait but only for a short while. The wait was worth it! Great food, great location and fantastic waiter service!!

Visited this place not too long ago with my girlfriend, and it was lovely, food was great, our waitress, not sure of her name however she was ginger, was very lovely. Must say it was a very good establishment overall, would recommend to others.

Initial review 3/5 - Been meaning to try honest burgers forever but never got into town for it. Decided on a late night takeaway one night instead. Ordered a kids meal and as you can see it's more than enough to feed an adult! Had a side of coleslaw too. Burger was absolutely lovely, had a chicken burger. Felt similar to grazing shed just with a few less toppings. Very fresh and moist chicken. Unfortunately left most of the fries as thought they were a bit rubbish. Very thick cut which was fine, but so greasy and crispy there was no potato inside them, it was just like a greasy crispy skin. Coleslaw was ok, nothing to write to home about. Nothing wrong with service at all, prices very fair. Just not for me. New review August 2024 5/5 - had my first in house experience for Honest Burger and it was a vast improvement on the takeaway food. Had the special haloumi chicken burger with onion rings, which were gorgeous. Burger was great, and rosemary fries were much, much better. Service was lovely from the in house staff, props the very young girl serving us when it came to the bill with out various discounts and gift cards. She's an asset to you.

i had a delicious burger, chips and coleslaw. the customer sevice was 10/10 and perfect location in the city centre for a break from shopping!

I HONESTLY don't know why we chose here for dinner. Seated outside as the sun went down was a little chilly. and the service was a little slow. The burgers were excellent, the fries were luke-warm and quite a small portion for the money.

Always have the best meal in honest burger like 10/10 ; have ate there numerous times. The vibe is always good and the staff are the friendliest most efficient! Also love that the staff always look cool in their own clothes, especially shoutout to one of the waiters dan who goes above and beyond with a smile on his face and best outfits

The staff here are soooo lovely!! Very friendly and helpful when choosing what to have. Food was delicious, my burger was delicious and the chips were amongst the nicest I’ve ever had. I would have given five stars, but the toilet situation is awful. They’re closed away downstairs, big heavy door to get into the toilet area, then within that room are the sinks, and two cubicles for women, two for men. So you’re closed away downstairs with men in the same bit. Nothing happened but it felt so wrong, I felt quite vulnerable.

The food at Honest Burgers was absolutely amazing. I’m a newly diagnosed Coeliac and I felt very comfortable here. I was informed that all the sides are gluten free which amazed me because they didn’t taste like other GF sides that are usually tasteless. Would highly recommend Honest Burgers

Firstly, I want to say, that the service from staff was absolutely excellent. There was nothing wrong with the food per se it was tasty and there are a lot of chips with it. However, the whole place is very tired looking and needs some TLC. I had a cocktail which was awful and presented with a stick of very limp mint. It just, like lemonade with a tiny bit of alcohol in it just wasn’t up to scratch. I think if you do cocktails you need to do them properly or not at all. You won’t have a bad meal here it’s lively and busy and obviously quite popular. However, my daughter who went to university in Cardiff said that it used to be very good but it now looks a bit unloved and tatty.. The burger could’ve been a touch bigger compared to that with other similar burger restaurants but it was tasty. My daughter had the vegan burger but she said there wasn’t hardly any vegan bacon on the burger. Verdict: it could’ve been much better and it needs a good refit and re think. Staff are lovely and you are lucky to have them working there.

excellent service, thanks to our sever toby!

Delicious delicious food and our server Toby was exceedingly friendly and helpful. Definitely definitely would eat here again.

Super friendly and fast service, short wait time for takeaway and super accommodating staff. Would definitely recommend! Toby was the best server!!!

Toby Robertson was the best server we could have asked for, amazing service and amazing food. Prices were high-ish, but worth the quality.

I love the food here. Especially the rosemary chips. I usually have the house burger, the honest burger. When I'm in and one of their beers. A great place for food and friendly staff. A good atmosphere over all.

had the chili burger and it was extremely spicy and wonderful. the fries were great too :) i recommend!

had a lovely time here, Ewen was my waiter and he was absolutely lovely (I think I spelt his name wrong) either way he was very sweet and I’d recommend going for anyone wanting a good burger :) thank you all for your kindness

The food was nice and the service was good, however value for money was pretty poor. The fact there was a service charge automatically added has made the easy decision to not return again. Prices in UK are already expensive!

Excellent gluten free and vegan burger with GF chips. The staff understands the needs of those with celiac disease and offers gluten-free solutions. A thousand thanks

Ottimo hamburger gluten free e vegano con patatine GF. Il personale comprende le esigenze di chi è celiaco e offre soluzioni senza glutine. Grazie mille

Food was delicious. Staff were amazing, Dan and chef Chris were super helpful and made me and my group feel really welcome. Will defo be back

Best of the best when it comes to burgers in Cardiff, quality and value for money is unmatched, service is always great and wonderful size portions. We just keep coming back 🍔

Great find. Had booked this restaurant before a concert and although the menu is small everything tasted amazing which is much more important. Great friendly staff and service, will definitely be back

Excellent food and great to have so many gluten free choices! Good value and enjoyed the whole experience with the exception of there being a service charge added to our bill. Please don't start this horrible American custom - customers are completely capable of deciding when and if they want to tip. We asked for it to be removed out of principle, but felt uncomfortable having to get the bill amended and don't think we should have been put in this position.

I loved this restaurant, and we kept going back a couple of times a month despite the fact they got my wife's meal wrong 7/10 times, along with a slight decline in portion size, and effort from the staff to please. But they have introduced a service charge without warning to the bill, which effectively increased the priced by 10% for what was already an expensive burger. I know this can be removed upon request, but most people i know are uncomfortable doing this, and it just leaves you with a bitter feeling after a meal, bitter that you didn't challenge it and essentially had money nicked off you, and if you do challenge it, then embarrassed for making a point. either way it just ruins the experience. For this reason we have stopped eating here :( "I AM SO ANNOYED! Every burger 🍔 in the world has now been ruined for me. I will never be able to eat at McDonald's ever again! All other burgers are now dead to me. One bite of the burger and I was in Nivana. I actually felt guilty for how much pleasure I had outside the context of marriage 😆 I actually had to prepare myself to take each bite so I could fully appreciate it! And when it was done, I was done. It wasn't because I was so stuffed I couldn't eat any more (although I was very full), but because my pallet was just done, it was so perfectly content. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and very accommodating to my wife's dietary needs. Service was a little bit on the slow side but not awful, but then we were surprised by a discount at the end to apologise for it. Although the food more then made up for the wait, the gesture really made me leave feeling just blown away by the incredible dining experience! We will be going again!"

Came here twice while I was in Cardiff and it was the best choice. The staff are really friendly and attentive and have fun with customers and each other. You can see they have a great team who work together well. The food was really nice and reasonably priced. Bacon gravy is awesome. Had a great time here the first time I came back the next night.

Popped in for lunch whilst shopping. The greeting was friendly and team really chatty. We were recommended the special California and were absolutely blown away by it! Will be returning soon

Went here for a working lunch and the team sat us in a quiet part of the restaurant, the service was great but not intrusive as they could see we were working. Food was excellent

Great venue with amazing food, team are so friendly too

Burgers are lovely lots of flavours but wouldn't recommend the chips twice I've been and the chips always come out burnt over cooked. But the staff are lovely, and friendly.

Me and my girlfriend came here for some lunch, We were served by Dan he was great, really friendly. Food came out to us in minutes and tasted fantastic would recommend.

I had the lunchtime special. Even though the neighbouring restaurants were shut at 11.45 am the honest burger was open. The burger was perfectly cooked as were the fries. I can't falt the meal at £10.45 including vat it was excellent value for money

We ordered here it was absolutely fantastic we sat inside the venue the service was great I could tell they were stressed especially on a Saturday night but they were still very friendly the lady who cooked my burger absolutely smashed it was really wonderful 100% would visit again

The smashed burger was so good and even the fries that came with it. Cleaned my plate. The service was also brilliant and friendly from the manager to the waiting staff. Definitely a highlight for our trip to Cardiff.

Great selection with Vegan and GF options, service was good overall, really pleased

Overall experience was enjoyable! Chips are fantastic though there's no option or extras for your chips which has a little disappointing but not a deal breaker I had a tribute burger and was overall happy with my meal , good tasty burger👌 Would recommend a visit!

Loved it. Had the double smash burger, was beautiful. Great music, atmosphere, price and service. Thank you

Great burger, possibly the best in Cardiff!

Great food, great music, great atmosphere.

Hands down best burger I've ever had!! I've travelled all over the world and eaten many burgers and Honest Burgers have managed to get every element of a great burger just right. The meat is cooked perfectly, the flavours are complementary, and you don't leave feeling stuffed and bloated. And the buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing are everything!! Can't wait to go back!

The burger here is five guys level.. a solid 8.5/10.. the chips could be better they taste like roast chicken walkers crisp 7/10.. the onion rings are beautiful 8.5/10.. and the tastiest thing on the menu "the ranch sauce".. 9/10 it was spectacular!!

The best burgers in Cardiff! They're to die for! I dont go anywhere else now, the vegan burgers are perfectly dirty and the rosemary fries are so moreish!

Excellent service, such lovely greeting and seated quickly, got drinks fast and food came in great time. The honest burger was lovely and juicy and the botanical cocktail recommended by this lovely girl was great. Overall, had a lovely time here and will be coming back again!

I went for the double smashed Pattie burgers, as I prefer my burgers cooked like that. Great tasting patties, ingredients and toppings. Chips were crispy and seasoned well. We also had some wings and onion rings as well as a coleslaw side, which were all tasty and added to the meal. We did have to ask a few times for our gravy though, which was a shame. Had a couple of local beers as well.

I really like it here, I've been here a few times now. Gets really busy at times (showing how popular it is), definitely worth waiting for a table. Sometimes has issues with order systems but staff are really helpful and quick to sort these issues. Also lots of tasty options for vegans and veggies. Their fries are amazing 😍 Price is bang on for what you get, food has always been hot and fresh for me. I like that they support local too. Would pick the vegan patty over the fritter but that's personal choice. Meat options are awesome too, the chicken burger with cornflakes in it is my favourite at the moment. Great burger shop, Honest.

Superb Burgers and the finest fries.

Always a great burger - can’t wait to go back!

DELIVERY ORDER WAS STONE COLD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I love honest burger food but honestly I think it's disgraceful that they keep delivery drivers waiting around so LONG when they don't get paid per hour.. And think it's acceptable to wait 2 hrs for a delivery and deliver it completely cold.... Is this a joke

Solid. Tasty and three vegetarian burgers, but nothing special either.

Best GF Burger 🍔 chips and 🍺 I’ve ever had

Food was good, great coleslaw, great quality meat and lovely bread bun. Service was quick and friendly. The playlist was pretty good music wise

Seriously the best experience I've had with a burger joint while being away from home. Staff is great snd chill, food is delicious, and vibes are warm snd welcoming. Would come here everyday if I just lived right beside it

Food was delicious- must have the gravy!

Went there with my mother we both enjoyed our burgers portion sizes were good and so was the service. I definitely recommend the tribute burger.

So good. Staff were amazing, beers were good, but oh man those burgers

The cleanness of the restaurant was what has spoilt it for me. The walk to the restaurant restrooms was the eye opener holes in the wall as you walk down the stairs, storage racks to pass on the way, and as for the toilets themselves they were disgusting. When you see this lack of care it doesn’t fill you with confidence that things like general hygiene is being maintained. The burgers themselves as well as the service were okay but I’ve had much better. It’s a shame because I wanted to like this place.

Wow the best gluten free burger I’ve ever had!! Delivered too and it was amazing. Fries were crispy and fresh. Yum!!

Best tasting chicken burger (with truffle mayo) i have ever had!!

Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. I think I had the I ❤️ bacon special burger. Tell you what it was bloody beautiful. Even when I went in the staff were really friendly and made me feel welcomed. The food didn't take very long to arrive at all which was great. I will definitely be coming back again next time I am in Cardiff. Keep up the great work!

I had the I love bacon special burger with onion rings and wings and it was amazing.

Great service and delicious burgers. Waitor recommended the vegetarian fritter burger and it was delicious.Will definitely be back!

Needed more waiting staff, the one waiter working was very busy looking after the whole restaurant floor.

The food is always great, and the customer service experience is outstanding!

Great place for great burgers nice little restaurant reasonably priced and good portions, and great beer been here a few times definitely coming again soon

A great place for a burger. Great atmosphere and great service. Access is straight from the street and no steps. Service was quick with service which was friendly and informal. I had the Christmas burger which was delicious and wonderfully messy. Very reasonably priced. Very much recommended and I'll be back. Note that the public toilet is downstairs and I wasn't aware of a lift for those who can't manage stairs.

Great selection of burgers, including monthly specials, with sides and sauces. Mix and match to try something new. Service staff relaxed and good humoured, sets the right tone for a good vibe in the restaurant.

Honestly I don’t know where to start, the staff here are so kind and inviting, my girlfriend is coeliac and can’t eat at many places but here was very good for gluten free options, mine and her burger was absolutely stunning after the first bite we both looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking, and the chips. Just wow enough to make a grown man cry. 10/10 would recommend

Been here a few times. Food is very tasty. The staff are really friendly.

Cool venue and staff were great. Food, tasty. Burger patties were fairly small to be completely "Honest", however that could be my appetite or the fact the burger was that good....

Staff were slow to acknowledge people waiting at the door, after waiting for 15mins were told we'd been seen too in a second to which they sat the group in the queue behind us! After a further 5mins of waiting a table was cleared to which they sat another couple who had been waiting at the bar. They would much rather let you stand at the door waiting than tell you how long of a wait you could be in for. After a further 10 minutes of waiting we decided to leave.

Decent burgers. Friendly staff. But leave a few hours for a meal as service is slow..

Honest Burgers Cardiff were incredible when the catering for our event let us down. They sorted food for 35 people in under 30 mins! #smahedit 🍔

Probably one of the best burgers we have eaten out in a long time. They were tasty, well cooked and served with excellent skin on fries. Service was a bit slow, but it was a very busy Saturday in December. Also it was a bit cold were we sat. Otherwise a super lunch.

5 stars across the board. Came up for a lads trip and i have never in my life left a review. After a night out, came here. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. Atmosphere, location and interior were all great. And then the food came. As an 18 year old lad, i can say i’ve never had a burger as good as this. Once again, i’ve never left a review before, but i felt something had to be said. Couldn’t of ask for better. Will definitely be visiting again.

Impeccable service from our server Rhian, she went above and beyond for us. Attentive and very friendly, helped with any queries about our order. Definitely would recommend friends to try here for the service alone never mind the food!!

Lovely burgers, brilliant specials and really fairly priced for the quality! Staff are really kind and attentive. They were really busy when we went so our chips were a bit cold. We mentioned it straight away and within 3 minutes, we had fresh, straight from the fryer, boiling hot chips. It was no issue at all. Naica in particular was brilliant with us!

Went with my partner , was very busy but the evening was made better by the wait staff, especially Chef named 'Chris' who even though we weren't his table, offered us his recommendation on drinks, including his favourite coffee liqueur shot, v good, I like (Borat Voice) (Borat Two Thumbs Up!) , we had burgers and I got the stein double pint btw , I love you honest burgers !

Wrong food delivered and store said they will send it again after 40 min when we contact store, he said sorry i got to go to uber for help , absolutely wasted service , they are not honest as the title

We ordered takeaway last minute for an event after being let down by our initial food vendor. The 35 burgers we needed were ready for pickup in less than 30 minutes. Amazing food and service.

Good food, good service and good atmosphere!

What a fabulous restaurant serving excellent burgers in the heart of the city centre, friendly staff from start to finish and our waitress Rhian was first class and loved the vintage retro look of the place with its open plan kitchen. The truffle chicken burger was delicious.

Have previously had a meal at their London restaurant so knew food would be good! Staff all welcoming and friendly and food was amazing.

Disappointed in my experience. Service ok, food lukewarm and really slow on drink service despite five members of staff crowded at bar when we chased up. Would try again as food of a good quality despite being lukewarm.

My family and I came in yesterday and they were super busy but the food was amazing, great atmosphere too. We were served by Nike who was super friendly and bubbly and we had an amazing time. We will definitely return

Really good vibe here, food was great and so reasonably priced for Cardiff! Service was quick and staff were incredibly friendly. Shout out to Jhanaica, super friendly and gave a great recommendation (truffle mayo) !!

Nike was a really good and attentive. Food was fantastic and kids loved the burgers and caters well for vegetarians. If I am ever in Cardiff again I would definitely return. I would also highly recommend.

One of the most delicious vegan burgers I've ever eaten 😍

Exceptional service from Nike as our food was delayed. This women deserves two Prosecco from both of us

Absolutely incredible burgers & great company ethos. Rhian was super friendly and made it a 10/10 experience 💘

Lovely food, had the chilli burger and it was delicious! Rhian our waitress was very kind and polite! Highly recommended

Great experience at honest burgers Cardiff. Speedy service and great recommendations from staff. I ordered the truffle chicken special and I can honestly say that was the best burger I’ve ever had! I definitely will be back soon. Highly recommend!

Awesome place with an awesome atmosphere. Service was speedy and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was perfect.

Ordered on recommendation of the staff a chicken burger when came it was a lot smaller that others? They cut chicken off mine to give to my 6 year old I'll never try again shocking price and been ripped off try else where.

The Double Tribute Burger was the best I've ever had. Also the service from all the staff working on Monday lunch was amazing 👏

Lovely food and a good atmosphere but they don't sell any hot drinks. Was desperate for a coffee !! My teriyaki vegan burger was gorgeous. Coleslaw was delicious too. Nice little place for a quick bite.
