Honest Burgers Cambridge in Cambridge

Lovely little restaurant right next to the grand arcade, that I hadn't been to for years prior, so was wondering if much had changed. We managed to get a table (which we haven't done beofre since it is so popular and conveniently placed, and our drinks were sweet, delicious and came quickly The atmosphere is amazing - we were sat in the side, away from the kitchen and most of the tables, but it made no different to be honest. Our waiter was nice and got us everything we asked for, and the service was speedy. I am aware that the service varies here, but for us it was stellar and it scarcely took 20 minutes, despite the fact there were quite a few people in there. I have been at dinner before and it is usually much busier and the wait is a bit longer than usual, but it is definitely worth the wait! The food was on another level! The rosemary-salted chips are a nice touch, but are quite salty so be careful if you dont like to much salt. The burgers were sublime and we ate ours all up, practically licking the plate clean! The accustomed to our specific needs quickly and it was all around a lovely meal out I can't wait to visit again!

Great little find. We had 3 different delicious burgers and tasty, crispy onion rings. Only negative was how awful the toilets were.

Very disappointed with the quality of the burgers here. The gravy smelled really weird and the chips were completely dry inside. Service is really poor and they still add a service charge.

Nice and friendly staff, welcoming attitude Kid's meal portion was good enough for 8yo child, chips no salt for kids are so considerate!

Absolutely superb plant burgers. Wonderful rosemary chips. Great choice of beers. I'll definitely be back!

I rarely leave reviews. Was one of the best places for burgers. Thanks!

Nice cosy place and honestly good burgers. Gluten free options avail too . They have buffalo burgers too. Serves Brooklyn draft beer on tap

We ordered buffalo and carolina fried chicken and loved it! Mint lemonade was also quite refreshing. However, we did not like the onion rings and buffalo wings. This restaurant was comfy.

It doesn't close in the middle of the day. They ask about allergies. Very good Smashed, Beef and Chicken burgers.

Whilst no complaints about the food, felt overpriced and a little rushed to me if I'm honest. They were able to cater for my wife who needed a gluten free burger which was good.

Delicious burgers in a nice atmosphere, good value for money. Good place to grab a bite to eat in Cambridge Old Town.

To be honest, I have tried almost every restaurants of Honest Burger and this one is the worst I can say, there was no taste, cheese not melted in the burger. Last week I ate at the Greenwich branch the same burger and that was way way better. You might need to discuss on it with your chef!

Great burgers! It was very busy when we were there, service was on / off. Would definitely go back.

The burger was okay, chicken lacked flavour, and the chips were awful -small, oily, and clearly leftovers from the pot, which was unappetising. Disappointing overall, especially considering the positive reviews.

The short woman that served us on Monday had ABSOLUTELY NO service skills. She looked angry or disappointed to seeing us come through the door. She basically threw the menus to the table and did the same with the food. It took ages to get our change back from the servers even if there were only around 6 tables (max) to be served. As a server myself, if I could give 0 stars for service I would. And for the record I have come here more than once and been served with her, both times we received the poor treatment but this time was just outstandingly bad. Training on table manner is required as it’s unacceptable to feel so unwelcome to a restaurant. Nevertheless, food was good, warm and delicious which is the only reason why they’re receiving 2 stars. Portions were quite good. The restaurant seemed decently clean apart from the fork my partner got which was visibly dirty and unpolished

Vegetarian southern fritter burger was delicious. Service was great.

Lovely honest burger with truffle oil sauce with chips. Really yummy.

We were met by a beaming Rafaela who couldn't do too much for us. She looked after us and our old spaniel and made sure we had everything we could ask for. Great grub and drink too - gorgeous burgers and those rosemary fries were divine 😘 Highly recommended after a long walk around historic Cambridge.

A bit of a wait to get a table but well worth it. Quick service and the burger I had was delicious and great crunchy non greasy fries.

Our favourite place to eat and get a burger! My son has coeliac disease and this place is perfect to cater for him, they reassure me it's safe for him and there is no extra charge for the gluten free bun, it's included in their bargain set menu for children. My son loves it and always asks to go here if we go out to eat. Personally, I found the food amazing! The onion rings and the vegan burger is the best I have ever had!! Friendly people and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Honestly, our favourite place to eat out.

I can say its not the best burgers i had but still the location was nice , onions very oily hamburger is basic for the price i can say its a bit expensive for that taste , sauces were good i can tell

Great food , one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had .

Terrible service. The lady was talking all the time with a table who speaks the same language and totally ignored me and other customers

Best gluten free burgers, highly recommended. The staff is also very and very friendly.

As always, Honest burger didn't disappoint. The Rosemary salted fries are amazing and the portion generous. Warm enough even though delivered by Uber Eats. Also a safe bet when travelling to different locations.

The name says it all. The most honest burger in Cambridge!

It continues to keep my faith on this brand with food, service and et al.

Fantastic food & service. A group of us (3 adults and 2 children) called in to Honest Burger on Saturday 24 Feb. There was an issue with one of the kids meals being delayed. The staff were really apologetic and compensated us amazingly well for the delay. We were very, very impressed! The Burgers were great and the atmosphere in the restaurant was outstanding. This was our first visit to Honest burger in Cambridge and we can't wait to go back.

Arrived and was seated quickly by friendly member of staff. She quickly explained it was card payments only. We ordered drinks and food together and they arrived quickly. I would just say alittle too greasy and the coleslaw had a lot of vinegar so couldn't eat it all. Otherwise all good and would return and give it another go.

Been here a few times. Great burgers and fries. Really good selection of beer and wine. Situated next to the Cambridge Corn Exchange, very good for pre- concert food and drink. Had to wait for a table as they only accept reservations on certain nights. Very good service. Recommended.

Everything was good, the food was tasty, but the air-condition was very strong even outside it was cold.

Never again. Medium burger was bright red on the inside, looked raw… Well done was so over cooked and dry. There are better burgers and fries in the pub 5 mins away, only drawn to this place because it had “burger” in the name (weren’t very nice though).

First honest burger in years and first in Cambridge. A solid 4. Not special enough for me to crave another in another couple of years, but the service is friendly and prompt, and the ingredients seem reliable. I didn’t expect the place to be so full at noon! People are actually waiting at the entrance and staring, which gives me anxieties... perhaps next time I’ll order takeaway. I forgot the beef burger doesn’t come with cheese. Maybe one dayI’ll try the supposedly “lighter” smashed burger with cheese then. But I do appreciate the availability of medium rare beef patty (<3 fresh meat), otherwise M*Donalds would suffice. I would prefer a little more salt,but it’s good for my heart. The searing still offers some crunchiness. The bun is plump and gives a satisfying bites. The menus are informative, although I had to look at deliver menu for nutrition info on special items. And 20% off with Student Beans isn’t bad.

Took a chance on this place, well worth it, the wait was said to be 10 minutes and it was, sat on time with a lovely order and a nice set of drinks. Chips are nice as well, might order the burger a little more done next time but enjoyed it.

Always lovely to come to an honest burger, good prices, fast service, nice food! Onion rings were delicious, smash burger and bacon burger as well! Toilets were absolutely a mess.

Po burgerach ,oboje z mężem spodziewaliśmy się trochę więcej ..było ok . Obsługa jak najbardziej na tak ,mega przyjazna i pomocna. Mało miejsca w środku .

Food was really tasty. Staff seemed uninterested, mens toilets were not clean. No atmosphere

Always love my honest burger…I always get the special but switch to vegetarian. Worth all the calories!

Very nice burger and atmosphere

Just a quick note to say that Kane was extremely accommodating after our huge group turned up, soaked through, last night (06 Feb). Thanks for the fries, you legend!

Fresh and juicy burgers and crispy fries. I took the chicken pesto burger and it was delish! Was definitely a treat after an amazing day at Cambridge :)

Honestly, honest burgers were, ok. Unfortunately, I wasn't blown away with the flavours and no gluten-free (celiac) bun on offer on my visit. The service was good and friendly and not too much of a wait on thr food.

Great and unique Burgers, not one you'll recall tomorrow as "just a regular burger".

Juicy burger,their chips are unique, nomnomnom. As Many tourists in queue, reserve some more time, Honest burger deserve. Tribute burger with mustard, and chili burger is my cup of tea.

Food was delicious, very fresh burgers didn’t feel heavy like after most burgers. Friendly staff and good selection of cocktails and local beers. Highly recommend. (Wings and chilli beef burger) 👍👍

Came here recently and had two veggie burgers with my partner -- the fritter and vegan teriyaki. Personally, I thought both were pretty good, but not amazing. Nothing wrong with either of them, I just have preferred the veggie burgers elsewhere to these (e.g., Butch Annie's). However, I would say these were better than most boring veg burgers for sure -- so around 4-4.5 stars. I also wasn't that big of a fan of the rosemary chips. The vibe of the place is great though, and service was also quite good.

Wow just Wow. we visited here January 5th. The service was Fantastic ( Grace 1974 ) from the moment we walked in my wife and i were so impressed! 👏👏👏 next time we are in cambridge so making it our first stop.

Love the food and the staff are so friendly and accommodating of our young family (toddler and baby). It’s now our favourite weekend lunch treat. Thank you for all your hard work Rafa and team!

Very bland. Zero seasoning and sauce.

Best burger we have ever tasted, coupled with excellent friendly service.

unprofessional, rude and chips like cardboard

Poor service , staff need to know how to treat

Nice place but food only average.

Our visit last night was one huge disappointment. Long waiting time and rude service from a lady with accent. Furthermore you have to stand at the entrance waiting so not disability friendly. The burgers were fine but did not make up for the experience.

Tasty burger but you can't book tables

The burgers are seasoned to perfection, hands down the tastiest burger I have ever had!

A little small and tight in there when you’re sitting down,but everytime I’ve been in there it’s 5* good if you like burgers,staff are nice and polite

The best burgers in the UK - at least that I’ve had. Uniquely, you can get a hamburger rare or medium rare. Turns out there is a law in this country requiring burgers to be cooked to a temp. that results in at best a medium well burger; i.e. a not good burger. I am told these guys have their own beef herd and send in beef samples weekly to DEFRA to test for e - coli etc. The reward is permission to cook rare burgers. And wow! what burgers! The meat is delicious, moist and flavoursome as only grass fed cattle can be. The sides here are good; a kind of poutine ( gravy and cheese over chips) is a standout; the beer is Brooklyn lager (nice); and the staff at the Cambridge location are warm and friendly. Just a great place to grab a uniquely good burger. Go there, you won’t regret it.

My first time at an Honest Burgers and it was fantastic. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly and exactly as I'd asked for it. Service was also friendly and prompt. 5/5 I have zero criticism.

Food was delicious. Unfortunately we live 80 miles away, but will go again when we come back next year. Staff also friendly, clean inside, well priced and hot food. Easily 5*

Really great food (Cambridge burger is honestly the best I've had in a while!) . Great service (got served within like 5 mins aswell) and the staff were lovely. Would highly recommend if looking for a warm meal!

Food delicious and cocktails too. Service excellent. Venue perfect . Thank u team x

Good place to eat, staff are very nice and patient. Food is very nice and pleasant, good for it’s price.

Honest Burgers delivers deliciousness! Their juicy, flavorful patties made for a top-tier burger experience. The cozy vibe and must-try rosemary-salted chips sealed the deal.

Our family trip to Honest Burgers was a hit! It was the perfect spot for us—a cozy setting that felt welcoming for both kids and adults. The menu simplicity made ordering a breeze, and the quality of their burgers amazed us all. The patties were juicy and flavorful, and the kids loved the rosemary-salted chips!

Fine, burgers and some sides are a bit small but cooked and prepared well. No real atmosphere, and the tables are quite close together.

The worst managed queue I've ever seen.

Very good. Friendly efficient service.

I had a Brookline burguer and the Pilsner lager. Both options very good price/value. The chips were not my favorite, but definitely they are good, abundant and come with the burguer (and not as a separate order as in some other places). The only thing is that I noticed a bit of a rush to pay and leave...but totally understandable as it was Friday evening. Generally a very good option for a tasty burger

Chilli burger was slightly hot, which added a dash or tingly and refreshing flavour/ sense to the heavy meaty beef patty. Didn’t taste much rosemary in the rosemary fries tho.

I'm not a burger fan but after trying there honest burger l could be about to change my mind 👍 P .s laws in there because the crowd l was with all like burgers 😁

The burger was delicious, so much so that I came back twice! The fries perfectly seasoned, and I highly recommend the Botanic Garden Gin and Tonic. Overall, one of the better burger joints in the city. I highly recommend. Pros: Incredible burgers and drinks. Cons: Limited space so expect a wait.

First time here after hearing good things. It was busy, but I take that as a good sign. Service was good from all concerned. I really liked the rosemary salted chips - crispy, salty, and just enough rosemary to make them more interesting than most other places. I had the Honest burger and it was very good - actually cooked medium, nice cheese, bacon and onion relish. Just didn't quite hit the 5th star from the scarcity of pickles and it just seemed slightly small somehow. Tasted really good though!

Miłe miejsce z dobrą obsługą i smacznym jedzeniem

Great food great service really good Honest burger

The burger was very tasty and the service was excellent. The place is fairly accessible, and the staff very understanding.

Had to wait in the doorway for 25 minutes as they were busy. I am mobility impaired and would never have had access on my mobility scooter. I managed with my walking stick. It is great they have a limited menu, which makes choices simple and fast. Great quality food and non-alcoholic drinks. Very tasty and generous portions of burger meals. Fair prices, nice staff.

مطعم برقر في كامبردج .. برقر اللحم عندهم مميز يجب التنبيه عليهم بعدم وضع اي من مكونات لحم الخنزير على الاكل .جو المطعم هادي ديكور بسيط

We popped in for some lunch while shopping in Cambridge. We were met in a warm and friendly manner and taken straight to a table. We placed our order and our food was brought out quickly. The Rosemary salted fries were delicious, but unfortunately not very hot. The burger was amazing! Cooked to perfection and very tasty. We will definitely return again, highly recommended

Burger and chips were so tasty and I am very satisfied with the flavors. I also got the rum cocktail and it was nice and refreshing.

Have wanted to try this place for a while & wasn't disappointed. Service was quick & friendly even though we got the last couple of spaces in the place. The food was really tasty & it was a real treat to be able to have gf onion rings! All sides are gluten free & there is a gf bun available. Veggie & vegan options too. The only niggle was the ladies toilet which was grubby, dilapidated (one of the 2 cubicles was out of order as well) & out of soap when I visited. A member of staff was very helpful & provided some handgel very quickly though. We will definitely be back for the food & service though!

Fab food with amazing service, highly recommend

I love coming to Honest. Real sense of community spirit. Honest’s concept is great, from ingredients sourced , from kitchen to table. Staff are great, always ! We always get looked after. Humbling ! Thanks 🙏🏻 Chris

Great place in the town center with tasty burters. Properly done meat and chips. Big portions. Highly recommended to visit. But you may have to wait in a queue for a while as the place is popular.

The food was great but the waiter was not pleasant. As we were a group of six we tried to book a table online but web reservations were for 8 or more. When we arrived the first thing we were asked was had we booked. When we said no the waiter treated us like idiots. A poor start.

Been coming here for years! We love Honest burger at every location across the UK!

Quick, nice service but chips were dry and under seasoned and burger was bang average/poor

Brilliant food, lots of gluten free options (the Gf buns are really nice!) and really friendly staff!

I felt cheated because of the hamburger I ate. It was very small and tasted more like fish than any of the ingredients. It was over £14 for something that if I had paid £5 I would have felt cheated too.

Very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it. I went to this place with high expectations after reading all the good reviews and looking at the burgers shown on the photos. In my case the burgers were nothing like the ones shown on photos, they were very small and the bacon and the cheese was barely visible, also I can tell the ingredients were not fresh, AT ALL. It’s actually shocking as people on the reviews seem to be very happy with the food but it was not my case, maybe I was the unlucky one who received whatever was left in the kitchen on that Sunday evening. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to take this risk. Look for another place to eat.

Great food, lovely staff Sometime shame about the music being too loud ....just want food and chat with friends 😋

Vegan burgers were great. Friendly service.

Came here yesterday and was open with customers eating inside but had locked the door sayin experience issues so no closed, lazy staff who want the night off earlier as it was very quite

Super yummy burgers. Please try their fantastic onion rings. They are just something else!

La hamburguesa con las patatas estaban buenísimas,muy recomendable!!.

We called ahead of time to see about booking a table, to be told that it will be okay and they don’t take booking. Fine, no problem. Once we arrived however - we were met by a rude lady who refused us entry. Saying “we’re too busy” and “I don’t want to stress out the chefs” (despite several tables being free). She was so unbelievable rude. Won’t come back again!

Not quite the usual 5 stars for Honest burger due to no onion rings or lemonade and an under cooked burger (ordered 2 mediums and one was very rare) but still better than any other gluten free burger.

Sadly not suitable for those with dairy allergies

Took a while to get the food out but was nice.

Slow service and unimpressed with the burgers
