Honest Burgers Reading in Reading

Terrible service.. I requested a lactose free burger due to my intolerance. They let me know half way through eating my burger that it was in fact real cheese and brought me a replacement. They weren’t apologetic and didn’t even offer to take my meal off the bill. I would not recommend to anyone.

Eaten twice in honest, once in London now Reading. Reading staff really friendly, especially a male gentleman tonight, burgers amazing fries lovely just could do with being hotter maybe just me I like my food hot. But still 5 stars.

Delightful thanks huw and annette

Hugh and Annette served us they were very lovely and the food was great!

Amazing food, will 100% be back. Service from Huw and Annette was exceptional!! Great atmosphere and vibes :)

I had the pleasure of dining at honest burger recently, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. What truly set this restaurant apart was the impeccable service. A special mention to Huw, the restaurant manager, who ensured every detail was taken care of. Huw’s warm personality and thoughtful recommendations heightened my experience. The food was nothing short of outstanding. I opted for the Vegan burger alongside an alcohol free Lucky Saint adding another layer of enjoyment to my meal. If you’re looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend. With Huw’s excellent management and the restaurant’s stellar offerings, this place is a true gem.

The best Honest burger! Great service, great food and great staff! I wanted to give a big shout out to Ferrin who is a credit to the restaurant. Knows us as regulars now and always has a lovely chat with us! We will be back soon😃

Great place with a nice atmosphere. I was welcomed by a male staff who is always very nice and helpful as I have been in this place few times and been served by him. Even tho I came early and it was not very busy the male staff kept himself very busy by restocking the drinks etc. During my visit he made sure everything is fine and I am ok. The restaurant is very big so it’s plenty of room to sit. There is Christmas decorations all over the place. My vegan burger was great as always. Great experience. Highly recommend for people who haven’t tried it yet. I don’t eat meat but heard the beef burger is great too, better than the chicken one.

Been to honest burgers a few times and can’t fault the quality of food or the service. Today the staff went above and beyond to make us feel cared for even though we were the ones who had made a mistake when reading the menu and ordered an item incorrectly. We will definitely be returning, albeit we will be ordering their Christmas chicken special, just without the bacon 😁

Huw was spot on really made our night. Food was great really recommend.

Consistent and solid burgers. Nice staff as well. I would recommend

Had dinner here (autumn) - There were customers but not particular busy - unfortunately only found out they had a skeleton staff on that evening, once we'd been seated. We felt obliged to accept the waiter's seating us opposite the food preparation counter. Very noisy with constant traffic. (another couple came in, were sat next to us & then moved themselves elsewhere). We were also cold. Had a wait for drinks. Waited over 45mins for food. Other customers arriving after us, got served straightaway or shortly after their orders. We noticed deliveroo men coming in regularly to collect stuff. After some time, we realised it would have been quicker to have ordered our food via deliveroo app and have them deliver it to our table!!!! Food was tasty - not that special and not filling. Only came here out of curiosity having received a voucher. Not coming back any time soon. No desserts on menu. Went down the road to "Fluffy Fluffy" for takeaway dessert.

went to honest burgers today and was served by Amy and she looked after us and the food is great!

We love coming here every month to try the special! Staff are always great, especially Huw. Bonus points because it’s also dog friendly

We always have an amazing time when we come to Honest Burger. Huw our server is always super friendly and goes out of his way to say hello and ask us how we are, keeps everything perfectly clean and up to standard. It makes such a difference to have a friendly person like Huw on front of house welcoming everyone.

Amazing food and even more amazing atmosphere. I come here with my partner once a month and it’s always been great! Huw is always super welcoming and chatty!

Delivery is awful, really bad system. Food took 2hrs and was cold. Second time we have had issues. We won’t be using them again

Great food and a good selection of drinks.

Came here yesterday for a post-work meeting meal with some of our team and had such an incredible experience. The food was so delicious & the staff were really lovely. Ferin was an absolute gem and deserves so much praise. They gave us such a memorable experience and were just really sweet. Martin was also so great! We will definitely be back here again in future for another meal.

Burgers are very good with regular specials so there's always something new to try. Service is great. Also one of the few burger places that include the fries in the price (the way it used to be everywhere before COVID..)

The food at this restaurant is delicious, and I really enjoyed it on my first visit. However, during my second visit, I experienced poor service. One of the staff members displayed discriminatory behavior and was very rude to us. When we informed her that we were leaving, she didn't seem to care or acknowledge us. Unfortunately, this negative experience overshadowed the meal, and we ended up leaving without ordering.

The burger of the month now is something else it was amazing it was so good I couldn't recommend it enough !

Had an amazing experience at Honest Burgers, thanks to Huw. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect.

My husband and I have been regulars here for some time and consistently have great food and equally great service. I especially appreciate that I’m able to get anything on the menu made gluten free. The staff are lovely and accommodating of larger groups. Highly recommend!

Food is always great, however recently they are neglecting the details. Food coming with modifications ignored etc. Definitely eat in, not click and collect. Ordered to collect at 6pm, arrive at 5.50pm and didn't receive my food until 6.25pm, despite being told it would be 5 minutes when I first arrived. Clearly need more staff!

Tried honest burger for the first time last night. The burgers and sides are top notch and are all priced reasonably. Catered for my gluten allergy perfectly, any burger can be made gf, and all the sides are gf by default!

Excellent service from Huw in Honest Burgers today. Food was great as always

Seating by the window is not wide enough. But the food was good

Fantastic service from Hugh today. Really friendly and personable. Food is always fantastic here and all the staff are super lovely. Best burgers in the uk without a doubt!

The food was amazing & our server Huw was very welcoming & nice.

Been there many times. Best burger place in town, with options for vegans too. Good beer selection, and nice atmosphere. Price is fair.

Nice little burger bar good choice of burgers at a good price too. Food quality is actually really good only thing i could pick at is the onion rings were a little greasy. Service was pretty fast considering i visited on a Saturday dinner time. Will probably visit again.

My husband and I love Honest Burgers!! Our favourite go to for burgers!

The burger is delicious 🍔, and the staff are very friendly

It's a pretty decent burger place, situated in an old bank, right in the town centre, next to Jackson's Corner. Obviously most notable for the burgers, I've tried several of the most popular- type burgers, the cooked breakfast and the recently introduced smashed burgers, all of which were decent and the prices were reasonable. Some interesting offerings regarding drinks- I loved the mint lemonade. Service is always good, friendly and attentive. Place is designed in a modern canteen style and gets quite lively when it's busy. Pretty good for what it is. If you fancy a good quality burger it definitely delivers. Only thing- please offer an alternative to the rosemary seasoning on the fries- not all of us like it!

Served by Feren - lovely service and great food!!! One of the better places in Reading for food, mainly down to the staff and their great service!!!

Wonderful venue with fresh food and attentive service

Great quality of burgers with super friendly service

The food was truly amazing, and I would highly recommend it to everyone for that reason. However, I do have a concern about the hidden 12.5% service charge, which feels a bit misleading. Additionally, the wait time was quite long; it took 40 minutes for us to receive two burgers, though I understand the restaurant was busy during our visit.

Fantastic burgers! A great diner style ambience

Great Saturday lunch! Lovely to see so many Siren beers on tap. The special cheddar burger was insanely good Huw and who served us was spot on - perfect balance of being attentive but pacing the experience nicely and keeping track of how low our drinks had gotten. Very friendly too :) thanks!

Went there to satisfy the family's urge to eat some good quality burgers - our first visit. Loved the ambience! The service was great and it was not too crowded. Don't let the seemingly small entrance fool you. The place is cavernous on the inside. The food itself was well presented. We felt it was on the costlier side. But all in all, we were happy with the quality of the burgers. I'd bring family here as well as friends. Overall left with a positive impression.

Quiet for a Thursday eve. But bloody great burgers and the rosemary fries. mmmmmmmm. Had a reading burger. Was ace.

Great food - if you like burgers, I promise you will love Honest. I always try and visit to get the monthly special. Big thanks to Huw for great service, goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Also shout out to Ferrin and Giulia for great service on previous visits

Third time here it is always delicious! Awesome Burgers, the monthly specials that change are always great. Great prices for burgers and a side! the rosemary chips are good, they have a great selection of beers too from local breweries.

Delicious food, friendly staff, cozy ambiance, and excellent service. Really a honest burger, honest price, great drinks, perfect service, clean place. Definitely going back!!!!

If u want wait for a long period of time for an expensive tiniest plain burger come here ! Made for people with no taste buds !

The waitress, burger, coleslaw and beer ....all good

Honest Burgers constantly delivers no matter how many times I went. Probably the best burger chain there is at the moment.

This establishment is well designed and laid out. The vibe is great. I went midday during the week when it was less busy. I imagine it is even better in the evening. The food was delicious as well. Would probably eat here every week if I was a local.

Took my team here for a team social and the service was amazing! The staff are all so lovely and friendly and took the time to recommend us dishes/drinks and were very patient with all 14 of us! The food came extremely quick and it was incredible, but the hospitality we were shown made it even better :) We will be back!

Thank you to Huw and Nick who were our servers and were so friendly! We had a really nice time and will definitely be back!

Burgers were lush, service from Huw and Nick were unmatched. Will come again

Really nice food and quick service. The servers Hew and Nick provided excellent customer service.

Fantastic evening at Honest Burger. Food was magnificent and props to Huw and Nick for being top quality servers. Would recommend for a great burger.

Huw and Nick were really good and the food was really good and it was a fun night.

Fab evening out! Hugh and Nick took great care of our large party. Food was delicious and a good atmosphere. Thanks!

Huw and Nick were absolutely fantastic!! Service and food were unreal

Such a good time here. Huw and Nick were great. Such good service. Will defo be coming back!!!

Amazing food. Love this place. Can’t wait to come back soon for more! Cheers to Huw and Nick for being perfect hosts 🫶🍔

I've been here a few times now and everything I have tried has been very good. Portions are generous and good value for money. The atmosphere is nice and casual and the service is pretty quick too. There is also a good range of vegetarian options. The seasoning on the fries is really nice. Great for a quick and relaxed meal!

Great smash burgers and decent selection of local beers!

Burgers are amazing! An absolute treat and great for the gluten free crowd, easy adjustments

The service was absolutely great! Big praise to a really attentive employee. The food itself was ambivalent. The side dishes (rosemary fries and salad) were great, the burger itself was rather mediocre. The ingredients listed were present in minimal quantities and the burger was quite dry. The burgers didn't look nearly as lavishly topped as they do in some of the photos here, and the cheese in particular was saved on. Also a lady burger, the man wasn't full, i.e. the burger itself was relatively small. At least there is ketchup and mayo on the table, but having to use that as burger sauce shouldn't really be the case.

Been to this one and the branch in South Kensington. The burger is absolutely great, and the chips are innovative with rosemary.

Burger had very good meat, but it was a very small patty. The atmosphere was pleasant as it became busier over lunch time. Ample selection of drinks was available, but they serve NO coffee or any other warm drinks!

Came to Honest Reading on Saturday, received a warm welcome from Huw. The new special is amazing. Thanks Huw

This place is brilliant the food is all gluten free freshly made the chips are the best I have ever had the service was super quick

One of the best Birger i ever ate. Fries are really good.

Huw was fantastic, thank you very much, delicious food and great service!

Great meal and service! Thanks Huw!

Seriously tasty burgers with generous fries. We were served by a bubbly Scottish waitress, really appreciated her personal touch. It’s refreshing for the UK.

The food was awesome. Burgers were delicious and the wings were mouth watering. Our server feryn (the Scottish girl) was absolutely amazing, super friendly and made our night great! Thanks will be back soon!

We went for dinner. We had the Tribute Beef Burger, Pesto Chicken Burger, Buffalo Wings and Mint Lemonade. The wings were smashing!! Absolutely loved them! The lemonade was very refreshing. The Tribute burger was really good too. The pesto chicken burger was the most dry and bland burger I have ever had. There was some basil pesto, one tomato slice and lots and lots of leaves. Maybe that's what a pesto burger is, but I didn't like it. I put in extra mayo, pickles and chips to make it taste good. Mint Lemonade: 5/5 Buffalo Wings: 100000 Tribute Burger: 4/5 Pesto Chicken Burger: 3/5 Its a good place, but not worth the money. Also, limited options to choose from.

First of all, the French fries are delicious! The hamburger is delicious, but the onion fries on the side are also very tasty. I recommend it.

Amazing food and staff! This is my new favorite burger place!

Me and my friend really enjoyed the food here. We had the truffle chicken and mint lemonade and were served by Huw and Nick they were very polite and friendly. Would give 1000 stars if I could!!

Late afternoon treat, Truffle Chicken was amazing. Thanks to Huw and Nick for friendly service

Walked in to have a look at the menu. Saw they add a service charge. Left.

Had the chilli burger which was amazing, nice and spicy. Excellent service from Huw as always. Will be back soon.

Outrageously delicious. Huw encouraged us to try the gravy with our chips and how right he was. We had to restrain our 3-year old from shouting "thank you, I like the gravy" across the restaurant. Everything was fantastic. Local Reading burger was delicious. Would travel to Reading just for these burgers and chips, no joke.

Why are the vegan burgers more expensive than the beef ones? You can’t do this and preach sustainability. Big fat L Shall continue to go to 7bone as it has more options and doesn’t charge more to not eat beef. The female staff member was lovely. Original waiter didn’t come back and other staff members were almost shouting at each other behind our table. Original guy could have been on break, but that’s why my service score is a 3. Automatic service charge is applied too.

Great food & staff. Manager always max your experience great!

Never disappoints! Did a click and collect and it was on time and delicious!

If you want people wait to be seated you should have a sign about it and not tell of rudely when they wait and take seat themselves. Poor branch unlike Windsor one with amazing service and hospitality.

Always a decent place to get a burger and not break the bank. The fries are always great too, I can't think of many places were you can get better ones.

Very bad service also a staff is talk very root

This review can never do the place justice, this isn't only the best Honest Burgers branch (compared to Hammersmith, Waterloo, Covent Garden etc) but my brother's and my all-time favorite burger place (Gordon Ramsey's Street Burger wishes it holds a flame to this place!). Ferin usually serves us and she is not only super friendly and has amazing customer service but is super professional and knowledgeable, always happy to explain the menu to customers and checking in on us. We know every time we see her we are guaranteed to have a good time The food is always at a high standard and the quality is consistent each time we come. The tribute burger is super nice, even the smashed burgers are such good quality other burger joints WISH they could make a simple burger taste so good. However, the Reading local special is my all-time favorite burger, the fillings from the local cheese to the chili chutney and apple slaw really complements the burger.

Lovely food, great service. Highly recommend. My partner was also very happy with the vegan options

The food here is to die for !! Ridiculously mouthwatering! Can’t wait to go back here! I had the bacon plant burger & my boyfriend had the chilli beef burger ! We were both very happy!

We originally planned to dine in after my husband did some research and found out this restaurant is predominantly gluten free (what a gem) however we found ourselves a little fuller than expected after browsing and nibbling across the town centre. We opted for takeout, the server was extremely informative and attentive, and the wait was very reasonable. Delicious gluten free fried chicken tenders (I was delighted to discover gherkins and a pretty bomb dip included) and the most beautiful gluten free burger that's ever graced my lips (and I'm not a big beef eater). Don't be scared of the GF bun either, it's not the usual cardboard kind we are usually offered from other places.. and it's probably the softest airiest bun I've had in a long time. Even hubby was happy chowing down on it (we shared, and I had to fight for my half!). Thank you Honest Burger, our visit was delightful and we will be back. Also, the charge to change to a GF bun is extremely extremely reasonable unlike many other places.

This was a lovely celebration for my brothers birthday good value and a smashing smash burger. Thanks huw was realy nice to

Really lovely restaurant, Huw was super friendly and we were taken if super well. Quick service and felt relaxed at all times.

Huw was brilliant, great service and great food 🍔

Excellent service and food. We came here with a group and two babies and the staff were extremely accommodating.

Tasty food. Says Halal but yet, play extremely blasphemous music, insulting God shamelessly. Still took my money. Insult God and serve halal all in a days work for a dodgy "Englishman" nowadays.

The manager is extremely rude, customers do not come for lunch to get a telling off. If they expect customers to wait at the door, they need either a sign saying to do so or a member of staff actually at the door. Her attitude was completely unacceptable

Food was great the gravy is always the best secret sauce. Huw gave great service, we’ve been served by him before and he’s always been great to us
