Honest Burgers - Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Very nice pub for having an high quality hamburger. There’s the possibility to get a lunch deal for only 10 pounds including hamburger, chips and a soft drink. Very good homemade lemonade! I appreciated a lot the chips, made with fresh potatoes and perfectly fried. Very gentle service as well. SUGGESTED!!

A welcome change from the usual burger chain restaurants. Fun service, burgers really tasty & the bun doesn't turn into a soggy paste like many. Well worth a visit.

Warm welcome, steak cooking respected, homemade fries, very good quality price

absolutely amazing food and service! our top choice for lunch throughout a few days I was with my friends for a work conference and everything I tried (from lunchtime smashburgers, the spring special with wild garlic pesto, down to the special Brighton burger with perfect IPA-braised onions) was exceptionally tasty. perfect location, too - very nice place to sit outside in the spring sun and enjoy the food & lemonade. couldn't post this review without greetings for the server that chatted with us the first day we were there - pozdrowienia z Polski, macie pyszne ziemniaki (a właściwie frytki) z rozmarynem :)

Simone was amazing server also food was outstanding. Thank you guys

Delicious food, with great portions, and friendly staff. We had their lunchtime deal and everyone was happy. Their onion rings were superb!

A brilliant place for a " proper" burger.

Mi esposa y yo vinimos allí el sábado para el almuerzo, el personal era todo maravilloso y las hamburguesas eran fabulosas. Lo recomendaría encantado a otros amantes de las hamburguesas.

Honest Burger Brighton exceeded my expectations! The small venue has a real buzz, and the staff were genuinely welcoming. The signature local burger was superb, but the real highlight was the waiter's suggestion of adding gravy, something I'd never considered, but it was absolutely incredible! Plus, their buffalo wings were outstanding. This place is a must-try when in Brighton.

I come to Honest Burgers in Brighton semi-regularly and it never disappoints! Thought I would finally write a review following the exceptional service we had today. Our table was looked after by Mia, who was fun, personable and really responsive to our needs. The food here is consistently excellent, with delicious burgers and really generous portions. Honest is one of the few burger restaurants that understands people usually want chips with their burger and doesn’t make you order them as an expensive side dish! The smash burger is a newer addition to the menu and completely brilliant - it’s taken over from my usual order of the ‘Tribute’ (which is also delicious!) There is an extensive drinks menu offering both alcohol and soft drinks - I really recommend the homemade mint lemonade. It’s so refreshing and great value for money!! Unfortunately today there was a miscommunication between the order and the kitchen and my partner received an incorrect item. This is the first time I have ever had an issue at Honest Burger. Mia was quick to investigate the problem and promptly resolved it - all with a smile and a friendly attitude. Thanks Mia!! We really enjoyed our lunch here and would not hesitate to come back 🤩

Me, my husband son and 5 month old daughter ate here on a weekend and the food was fantastic lovely burgers fresh and made to order.. definitely recommend the onion rings and the staff are all really lovely and kind we will definitely be back!

Great! Always welcoming. Fab burgers. Highly recommend!

One of the best chicken burgers I have ever had (the spring special), you could tell ingredients were super fresh. My partner had the spring special with beef and also said it was exceptionally juicy! Burgers come with a large portion of fries which is great since too many burger places these days charge those separately. Definitely recommend!

Lugar de almuerzo cuando estábamos visitando Brighton. Amable y acogedor. Gran servicio y deliciosa comida! Estoy muy feliz de recomendar la hamburguesa aplastante o las opciones de pollo. ¡Fueron geniales!

Superb burger at this joint. I can highly recommend it. The chips were good too. Service was prompt and friendly. Music was at a low volume allowing for conversation. Perfect.

I first tried this burger in Cambridge and absolutely loved it. I was searching for the same place in Brighton, and luckily, I found it! Of course, I had to visit and give it another try. The burger is so good, and the chicken is Halal. I highly recommend the Buffalo Chicken Burger—but get the fried version without buffalo sauce (I’m not a fan of that sauce). Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 😃

As a courier, I find the owner, or whoever that guy is in the Victorian-style smart attire—a bit arrogant and unapproachable. He has a way of making others feel inferior. I don’t mind waiting outside the restaurant for the order, but the way he speaks to people comes off as demeaning. He needs to remember that having a successful restaurant in a privileged society doesn’t make him superior or some kind of gift to the world.

Stopped for a quick bite (Wed evening) although busy , seated quickly and service top rated. Food excellent - have a slight weakness for the gravy side 🤷‍♂️. Recommended for that quick and convenient bite 👍

Great burgers fab onion rings loved it

Great burger and chips were fantastic.

Went for the Brighton burger, definitely the best burger I have ever had 👌

Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica en Honest Burgers gracias a nuestra maravillosa interacción con su miembro del personal, Blake. Él era increíblemente atento a nuestra comida, amable y increíblemente amable! Nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos y recomendaríamos este lugar a cualquiera basado en el profesionalismo y la calidez de Blake. ¡Gracias Blake!

Honest never disappoints when it comes to gluten free. Always high quality ingredients and safe!

We had the best burger I have ever had today. My friend is a vegetarian and she has the bacon plant burger and said the same. I can highly recommend the bacon gravy for dipping your chips and another 5 star review for the homemade mint lemonade. We will definitely be back.

The food was perfect, the halal chicken very very good, the waiter is very attentive to his customers and that's why I put 5/5.

I just ordered a burger meal for 17£! It is smaller than McDonalds Kids Menu… 7 centimetres in diameter to be exact! Also chips were awful. I remember my first Honest Burger, this is not it. This is an overly expensive kids menu… shame

Burgers were amazing both times we went , very good price for a meal out nowadays. Very highly recommended it

Best food and tastes very good and are very nice

Been to Honest Burger loads of times before in London and I have always had a great experience but this was really poor. Food was lukewarm, burger didn't taste great and the staff seemed completely run off their feet. I didn't want to complain a ruin a nice evening with friends but none of us were impressed at all. We were all really disappointed and I wouldn't go back.

Very tasty vegan burger. I practically inhaled it.

Dined today 17th Feb 2025 with our little old dachshund in a pushchair. We were made to feel very welcome and the burgers were some of the best we've ever eaten anywhere in the world! Absolutely delicious; moist, tasty, beautifully presented and professionally served.

Fantastic burgers and great service, would highly recommend and would come again

Still checking out all the house specials for Honest Burger - this time I'm at Brighton! Their special is - Honest beef, candied bacon, double American cheese, Joosy beer-braised onions, burger sauce, mustard, onion and pickles - This makes for a tasty combination :-) Great venue and staff - well worth the visit.

Four stars only because of door and the cold gust of air when people come in and leave. Great service, attentive and polite. I’m not a burger person but my husband is. Lovely classic burger. Medium well done, their mince is chopped not minced and I think that made the difference for me. Cocktails were liush. I had the tropical rum punch and my husband had the raspberry mule. If you get the buffalo chicken wings and you like chicken get the large portion. It’s the flats and they are fall off the bone nice!

The burger was good, but the relish was not so good. The chips were very salty.

Well, what can I say? 10 out of 10. The food was amazing. The staff were really friendly and helpful. i will definitely be returning.

The service here was good, especially since we came pretty soon after they opened. The vegan options were not that great, with only 2 on offer. And the heating was off on a very cold day so we were very cold. The burgers we ordered were really good! Just wanted more variety

Un lugar precioso. Excelente gama de hamburguesas, la comida era genial. Personal muy amable y servicial. Vale la pena visitarlo.

One of the top burger joint in brighton. Friendly staff and has one of the best chicken sandwiches

Over charged still waiting for refund

My family and I have visited this flagship Honest burger at least once or twice a month for many years, alongside several of your London franchise branches. Today I was shocked to be spoken to by one of the serving staff with so rudely. My sister, partner and I entered the restaurant to ask if they had a table whilst also letting a couple leave. We were told there was a 25minute wait for a table, perfectly fine… however, the server rudely pointed at me and scalded me to close the door as it is cold abruptly then retreated back to the bar. It wasn’t a polite request such as please could you or similar. Her face was thunder. I had to close the door on my partner who was still waiting in the doorway. I explained to the manager who witnessed this how unnecessarily rude this was and frankly we no longer felt welcome. What a shame from the flagship branch of Honest Burger. I’m not sure we will visit again, a severely sour taste left in my mouth.

Words cannot describe how much I simply adored my experience at Honest Burgers. I started off with a cup of fresh water to cleanse my palate, and then I delved into the DOUBLE smashburger with chips. 100000/ 10. Greatest food that has ever entered my mouth, I was drooling while eating but that did NOT stop me. I crammed it down before demolishing the chips with the juicy honest sauce. I felt like i needed 8920 more because I have never felt that way before. PLEASE i urge you to visit this place, it is a memory which trust me; you will never forget. Every night I dream of going back, i hope you can experience the paradise which I went through on December the 11th. please sponsor me honest burgers i am your biggest fan. service = 10/10 food =100000/10 and overall energy 12030193123098/10. I love you honest burgers.

Consistent, good, and friendly service. Nice selection of different burgers. The place is cozy and you can get a seat solo or a small group.

Difícil saber exactamente qué decir, solo un lugar de hamburguesas increíble y delicioso. La hamburguesa destrozada fue sobresaliente al igual que los aros de cebolla con su masa ligera y crujiente. Lush

Little choice but excellent burgers. Fast and efficient service. A reasonable price for the city.

The burgers were average at best, and the service was mediocre and impolite. Overall, the experience was unremarkable and bordered on unpleasant.

Great place! Lovely staff and great food. The wings were actually way better here than in other honest locations so props for that :D

Perfect service from Emily who looked after a group of us and she made sure we had everything we needed. I also lost my keys and when I returned she made sure they were safe and sound. As soon as I walked in she returned them to me and I could continue my night free of worry! She is the best!

Ordered an Honest Burger and fries and it was delicious. Staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was great, would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes burgers. Second time I have been to Honest Burgers and will go again!!

Exactly what I was looking for when I wanted a smash burger! fantastic prices and great that they offer a discount of 20% for students. Food is very fresh, fries were great and good portion. Definitely recommend. Delicious and fresh juices too!

Okay venue and the vegan burgers are very tasty. However, they are significantly overpriced, and they even force a service charge into the bill, which is gross. Also lose another star for failing to be a 100% vegan/plant-based business, when they clearly have the ability to remove animal products from all menus.

Had a great meal here, made use of the Christmas set menu which was extremely tasty and great value. High quality food and also the homemade lemonade was top tier. Shoutout out to one of our great servers Ewan aswell 🤙🏻

Buffalo chicken burger was INCREDIBLE and chips were very tasty, highly recommend!

much better experience than last, actually got served. Food was great and customer service was top notch thank you .

Wow, very good burgers!! Rosemary fries so addictive and could not stop dipping them in the bacon gravy bowl! Will definitely come back again. Nice and friendly watering staff too (Stephen - nice Romanian fella)

Honestly a great spot. Although it doesn’t have much space, when its quite it’s lovely, feels cramped when full.

Delicious food and excellent service - big shout out to Megan, our server, who really went above and beyond! The gravy was a particular highlight…

¡Tenía una hamburguesa increíble! La calidad y los sabores fueron espectaculares. Buenas patatas fritas y la mejor salsa de tocino. El personal es muy amable, así que un lugar estupendo para comer. Sin duda volveremos.

Lots of choice, nice staff, great location etc.!

Thought I’d pop in for a quick beer and burger and was slightly disappointed… wanted to dine in but apparently beer taps not working so ordered a can of beer (which was recommended by the waitress) which was not to bad! Waited a while for my food so decided to take away instead of dine in and after finishing my can of beer wanted to purchase more to take back to my hotel in which apparently that was the last one! The waitress did recommend others but I wasn’t impressed.. that being said the burger was amazing and the chips was some of the best I’ve tasted in a while! Would recommend

amazing burgers love love, never had a bad experience here

I was left bitterly disappointed today. After several years of loving this place today might be our last time. The burgers were fine but chips and onion rings were nothing compared to what they use to be. Customer care was overly pushy and I felt rushed to leave the place.

Staff were all really friendly and polite when we arrived. Got a good seat by the window and were given menus. This is the simplest place to order from. It's a burger and chips! Monthly special is always a good one to try. The chips are the best.... I'd actually like a double portion. 😉 It's really good tasting food. Very good service and a lovely atmosphere inside. Comfortable for your visit. I'm definitely going to return on my next visit to Brighton.

This was the best vegetarian burger I’ve ever had! I hope to come again when in the UK.

Very busy place so there might be a bit of eait for your food. Burgers are great.

Really delicious burgers. Super affordable and one of the best places as a celiac to eat like a real normal person (lol). If you’re used to the chains in London like I was when I moved down - this is different. The standard here is much better, the food and restaurant is cleaner, and the staff are friendlier.

Honest burgers food is always great. Tastiest and best value around. Been to some in London but first time visit to Brighton branch. We had various burgers, double smash, Brighton special, vegan plant and some wings. Rosemary chips were hot and fab. Only observations I would make away from the food is that the venue is quite worn out, tables knackered, paint work peeling etc. or is that a Brighton thing ? The other observation is service charge ..it grinds me that it's added on automatically. So not discretionary as advised as it's always an awkward moment to take off. Ironically I had more cash than the service charge ready as a tip. Oh well. Service was good anyway. Food fab as always. Love Honest Burgers food 😄but just my couple of observations.

Después de caminar por Brighton buscando un lugar para almorzar (solo visitando por el día y nunca antes) nos encontramos con "Honest Burgers". Tengo que ser honesto, no había oído hablar de ellos, pero mi esposa vio el letrero sin gluten en la puerta y como celíaco esto fue una noticia bienvenida. El restaurante en sí es acogedor, pero no me sentía como si estuviéramos compartiendo mesas con otros clientes. Gran selección de comida y bebidas. Gran selección de opciones/alternativas sin gluten y opciones para vegetarianos. Comida - excepcional. Teníamos las clásicas hamburguesas con papas fritas y una hamburguesa de pollo para niños. No quedó ni una migaja, realmente fue una de las mejores hamburguesas que he tenido en un restaurante durante algún tiempo. Tres comidas, tres bebidas, sin gluten y delicioso Y todo por menos de £ 40. Por favor, abra uno de los restaurantes en Staffordshire.

ordered online, honest-ly (lol) best burger we have ever had in our lives, potentially best thing I have ever eaten (buffalo chicken and chilli beef burgers). got the gravy sauce for the chips too and I am now a new person

Beautiful chicken burger, my son and i both really enjoyed these and the seasoned fries were hot, crisp and tasty. Service was v friendly and reasonably quick for freshly cooked fare. Dog friendly too.

Very good service Very good burger and delicious rosemary fries! Nice atmosphere

Trying to find late night food that's not a kebab and stumbled across this gem. Juicy flavour packed burger, crispy bacon, great sauce and a really decent amount of well seasoned fries. Honestly exactly what I needed after a few hours on the dance floor. Really friendly guys running it, super clean. Would recommend.

Burgers were delicious and reasonably priced

Absolutely love honest burgers. Never fail to amaze me

Très bon accueil Les hamburgers sont délicieux et leurs frites au romarin sont juste une tuerie. ---------------------------

Very good burger / fresh produce and friendly welcome

Ordered the Honest Beef Burger, medium rare. It was smaller than what I expected but each bite was filled with flavor and juice. As soon as I cut the cross section I knew I was in for a great time. All burgers also come with lots of Chips, which were hot and crispy with some fluffly goodness inside the larger ones. The portion was a bit too much for the burger, though with how flavor packed that was the chips were nice to calm down your taste buds for the next bite. Tropical Rum Punch was great, light and very refreshing and the sparkle wasn't intrusive at all. Tom and Will were great servers! I was on an errend but had to stop by when I passed the Honest Burger, after ordering I managed to quickly run and come back and they kept my order warm for me!

Great food, great service we went both nights we were in Brighton

Blake and Tom are legends, they took good care of us and the burgers were SUPERB!

great food, great service (Tom and Blake)

Blake and Tom served us, great attention and impeccable food. Would highly recommend!

Enjoyed the food, however continuous misgendering and use of ‘ladies’ throughout . Please train serving staff in using non gendered terms to address folks.

Buena hamburguesa vegana. La cuestión era que el personal se dirigió a nosotros como "damas" en múltiples ocasiones. Suponiendo que el género de una persona es un error. Mejor que el personal utilice términos neutrales en cuanto al género como 'hola amigos'.

Food was "simple" but excellent. Burger and chips never tasted so good. However, this was quality burger and chips.

Really solid burger. The staff was pretty okay. They forgot my beer, but brought it right up once I mentioned it.

They do great burgers here, but the gravy is the thing to go for! Place is kinda small and too much for me when busy though, you are sat very close to other people.

Food is absolutely amazing, one of the best burger places in Brighton and they offer a different special every month. Don’t listen to the horrible reviews left by online customers and Uber drivers, all the staff are lovely and the service is great. Will be back again!!

A cheap Restaurant with one of the best burgers and deffinetly the best Fries i ever ate. Anyone who wants great good go there

The burger was a combination of good beef and other ingredients. Lemonade was rich in flavours.

Fantastic burgers, rosemary chips were to die for! Lovely staff and cozy atmosphere.

Very good, great burgers, nice staff, great place, everything was good

This place is great! It's quiet, the staff don't rush around and the food is amazing

Como dice en la lata - hamburguesas honestas. Grandes ingredientes cocinados bien con un gran servicio incluido. Todo el mundo disfrutaba de sus hamburguesas, servidas rápidamente.

I am gluten and dairy free so I always get food from honest burger because they don’t disappoint, the wings and onion rings are amazing and every burger hits the spot but today I had the Sriracha burger and wow I feel like that was the burger I ever had and honestly as a gluten free person i thought that was hard to find! Recommend to anyone with or without allergies!!

Their smash burger is very delicious and worth trying, and their fries are delicious 😍😍 The service is excellent. I will return to them 😍

Food absolutely delicious, great service with very helpful, polite and friendly staff. Cater for GF diet. Staff check for any allergies when taking the order.

We were seating outside for lunch. The stuff was very helpful and regularly came up to us and checking what we want to order/if we need anything else. The food was prepared pretty fast and we enjoyed our time there! Everyone was welcoming, helpful and nice to us!

Great burger! Very good fries on the side too. The waiters were very nice, but a bit expensive.

Had the monthly special bbq sriracha burger and it was beautiful. Lovely service from Monica and her male colleague.

The food was amazing and had great texture and flavour all round. However the service was woeful. We waited 40 mins for food, and throughout my experience before the food arrived me and my mates felt uncomfortable and irritated when sitting down and ordering our food. The staff would make random and pathetic sarcastic comments and would not acknowledge us at times when we wanted our food. I also asked to remove service charge and the manager or waiter made a stupid sarcastic comment which again made me uncomfortable at the restaurant. It’s a shame as if the service was as a good as the food id rank the place a lot higher.
