The Boring burger in Guildford

BORINGLY AWESOME! Have ordered several times from Boring Burger via Deliveroo and finally managed to visit and dine in. Always figured the fries and burgers would be considerably better when eating fresh without the travel time, condensation from being beautifully boxed in premium boxes and I wasn't wrong. Whilst the convenience of eating at home is great, the Boring Fries when fresh out the frier are bloody awesome, and the rosemary/salt seasoning combo are a delightful experience. First time ordering the Bored of Brisket Burger and Jheeeeez is it delectable. Highly recommend, although have plenty of napkins at the ready and some hand wipes as it is a messy one. They're a super busy operation, noting they had over 30+ burgers on order for delivery/collection, albeit fairly quiet from a dining in point of view. But this didn't affect the speed of service or quality of the burgers, fries and tenders that we ordered. Highly recommend the Bacon Jam and dirty sauces! Nice little detail as a music/audiophile I noticed they had a pair of KRK speakers. If you know, you know... Music choices of deep house and tech house were extremely pleasing! The staff all seem super focused in ensuring they process orders in a well orchestrated manner, but were friendly upon arrival and during our time there. Highly recommend Boring Burger! If I could provide one bit of feedback it would be to increase the sauce on the chicken tenders for more bang and heightened taste. I appreciate level of sauce preference is subjective but just felt it could have had more sauce for more flavour. That being said, the quality of the chicken tenders are spot on; crispy, real chicken and you can tell that love, care and attention has gone into producing all the menu items. Simple menu, done boringly excellent to execution! Until next time... Look forward to my next Boring Burger and Fries, whether by delivery or dining in.

Always appreciate a burger that is low enough to fit in my mouth! Can't stand tall burgers. Burger was awesome, chips were tasty. Would recommend.

Great food, the best smash burger I’ve tasted in a very longtime, 10/10. Accompanied by the American Fries, these were loaded just right. And to top it all off, the Biscoff Brownie, unreal, looking forward to trying the Nutella next time!

First time going to The Boring Burger in Guildford and it definitely won’t be my last! Food was amazing! Would 10/10 recommend! Great food, great atmosphere and great service!

Amazing burger. Best in Guildford.

Wasn't bad but didn't stand out and wouldn't make me want to go back. Paid £29 for a large messy burger, big portion of cheesy chips and a side and it was all fine but just fine. Nothing to make me savour each bite. Had better for cheaper. Looks good on social media but in reality pretty mediocre...

Last time was a great experience chatting with one of the directors, and got great food. This time, I was ignored 3 times when I went in, to be fair they had a big order, but waited for 35 minutes in a freezing cold room and not even a drink of anything while I was waiting. Finally got my food, and the £7 fries were half the size when I last came, seemingly when they opened and the portions were bigger. Burger was good, and fries were second time round. I expected at least an apology or free drink for my extended inconvenience.

Yeah the burger's fine, probably great if you're on the smash burger hype train. Personally I don't see the point in a burnt slice of beef. However good it was, it wasn't worth the 40 minute wait.

I can honestly say this! It was by far the best ever burger patty in my life, I went with two good friends, decent friendly staff, great quality food, no bloating after eating, absolutely superb Literally 10/10

I can honestly say I have never had a burger as good as the one I just had, even the chips and cheese sauce was 10/10!! And I've had a lot of burgers in my time from all round the world but this just goes straight to the top of my list! Will definitely be a weekly munch at The Boring Burger from now on, next week will try the brisket burger! I cannot wait! Great service, great spot outside and very reasonably priced!

It’s not reallly a boring burger, I definitely love their brisket burger, highly recommended food. The taste is perfect to my palate. My family and friends visited the place in Guildford. Their staff is friendly and takes our request with prompt respond. I also love their biscoff shake, it’s not too sweet. I hope you guys can visit and try the super delicious not so boring burger.

Had to drop a 5-star for the Boring Burger!! hands down the tastiest burger I’ve ever had! The Bored of Brisket Burger is on another level, seriously top-notch. The homemade sauce is killer, everything came out right on time, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend it enough!

My family and I visited Guildford for a fun day out and decided to try this “Boring Burger” spot. Despite its name, the food was anything but boring—it was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered a brisket burger, I had the “Boring Burger” with American fries, and our kids enjoyed mini “Boring Burgers,” along with Biscoff and Oreo milkshakes. The burgers were incredibly flavorful and really impressive. My husband, a brisket fan, loved his, and we both shared a bit of each other’s burgers—both were fantastic. The kids thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. The fries didn’t disappoint either. The American fries, jalapeño, cheese, and bacon toppings were spot on, and the bun was super soft and tasty. The milkshakes were also delightful. I highly recommend it and we’re definitely planning to return, worth every penny!!!! —I’m already craving those burgers again!

The burger is absolutely amazing, very juicy, tasty and you can definitely say that is fresh, definitely recommended if you are around the area

Incredible burger and brilliant fries. Hands down the best burger in Guildford and one of the best I have ever tried!

One of the best burgers ive ever eaten! Perfectly toasted buns, oozing patties, and very generous salad and home made burger sauce(amazingly good) . a burger thats not gonna disappoint you, its exactly the same as it is from their pictures! Highly recommend! worth every penny! Oh and dont forget to try their Biscoff brownies, its sooo good i had two slices😭

Superb burger. Definitely one of the best I have had in Britain. The fries were a disappointment though, they appeared to be what was left in the bottom of the basket, lots of small broken bits. Barely an entire French fry in the entire box. The staff could work on being a bit friendlier but the burger was sublime.

Guys super friendly burgers delicious 🤩😋we will be back!!

First visit last night. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Anything but boring, but they already know that! 😉 Sat at the bar opposite where they create. Great service, vibe & everyone friendly. The chips are amazing too!!

The food banged, everything was fresh

Amazing burger here, possibly the best I’ve ever had, certainly up there! Bun was pillow soft, patties cooked medium but that burger sauce is banging. Will stop by again for sure. Was so good I didn’t stop to take a picture!

The food is amazing but its all let down by the poor quality control on deliveries which ends up ruining it all. I've had extra pattys missing in burgers, bacon on burgers when I've selected no bacon. I've even had whole burgers missing from orders. They really need to sort out the quality control for deliveries. It doesn't matter how good the food is if food is missing or wrong.

First time at Boring Burger today. Very confident menu with a few items but backed up with quality and perfection! Got the Boring Burger and Boring as Cluck (without the bacon options and replaced with what the owner recommended, crispy onions and chipotle sauce). It sure was a banger!! Will definitely be returning. I was leaning more towards the chicken burger as the beef burger lacked flavour from sauces but was still epic! Reminiscent of Bleecker. Highly recommended. Voted for Uber eats awards too.

Amazing shrine to the burger craft. These guys make everything fresh daily, including their incredible tangy fresh dill burger sauce. The gherkins were paper-thin, shredded iceberg for texture. Superb crust on the smashed patties! Fresh rosemary-flecked super crispy fries served in a huge mess tin and bottomless sodas. I had a double and it was fantastic. Up there with the best I've sampled in UK!!

This has to be 'The Best!' burger I have ever had. Everything from the bun that was soft and toasted just right, the boring sauce that works so well with the crispy salty bacon. Then there are the beef patties which are just perfect. Priced just right at £11.50 for the standard boring burger and add an extra patty or bacon for £1.50 each. Fries will be extra at £3 but worth every penny. Much better than Five guys on taste and service. Drinks range for a small place is amazing. £3.50 for as much as you can drink, which is about the same as others but where else can you get Irn-bru, Sunkist and Vimto along with the normal Coke and Sprite? If you are ever in the mood for a great burger you have to try here! (prices at time of writing Sep 2024)

Absolute 10/10, awesome in everyway, outstanding burgers, service. One of THE best burgers I've had & definitely worth a visit, 😍

I can't recall having a better burger - ever. Well done guys

Honestly the best burger I've had. Prices are amazing too. Matt's service is top class!

Meticulously made with so much attention to detail this has to be downright the most delicious burger I have come across. I would put this somewhere in the £30+ region if wasn’t served over the counter. If you are into burgers (who isn’t) and in/around Guildford do not miss it. Totally recommended 👌

Best burger in Guilford. A must try!

You can choose any Mediterranean country to try and open this burger house. It will be forced to shut down within a month by the competition. 5 star hygiene rating needs downgrading to a maximum of 2 stars. Not to mention the poor customer service. Raise your standards boring 🍔, you are too new to seem that disinterested in what you do. Ps. Your signature burger is a 6/10 but nobody wants to eat when you make it with your bare hands.

Quite easily the best burger I’ve had in a long while - maybe ever. I had the Boring burger, Katsu fries and Biscoff milkshake and all of it was so freaking delicious.

The best burger my son and me try Am recommend to try if you passed around Guildford 👌🏾

I ate a brisket burger and rosemary garlic chips. 1. Chips tasted like heavy cholesterol never had chips that tasted like they been fried 8 times 2. The burger was extremely average looks amazing u would think it would pack so much flavour but no unfortunately. Also the brisket in the burger tastes like bacci on god

8.5/10 burger, this place is up there with the best now. Came in this afternoon for early dinner as a second try and glad we did as the first time we came was good, but not great. This time was excellent. 👌

Delicious burger and fries for £15 is pretty much standard these days. Only real shame is that it took 20+ minutes for 2 meals to be ready. I saw 3 Deliveroo drivers come in and out, these same to take priority which is a shame when opting to eat in. I did like the burger but might think twice about coming back when having to wait almost 30 minutes for it.

Best burgers in town. I recommend boring brisket. Decently priced and option to take fries or not.

Simply the best best burger that’s ever graced my mouth 100% recommend

1st time we had used thus place when visiting guildford. Will definitely use again next we visit. High quality burgers,high quality products. Excellent accommodating staff.

Delicious burger, one of the best i've ever tasted. Highly recommend this place. Food at reasonable prices and are so tasty. Make sure to try the Biscoff milkshake!!

Incredible burger, nothing boring about it! And the rosemary fries with homemade sauce was the perfect combo. Independently owned with friendly and chatty staff - a must visit if in Guildford. Tell everyone about this place!

Ive Just had the best burger in years, highly recommend the boring burger. Defiantly coming back here again.

Really great burgers and friendly service. The katsu fries are delicious! I think the prices are quite high, restaurant prices without the restaurant atmosphere/space. Would definitely come back!

Always a great experience when visiting. Jamie and the staff are always very friendly and the food is 5star. Best burgers 🍔 in surrey. Definitely worth a visit.

The sauce and the burger is amazing Fries are also crispy and tasty

The best burger in the UK , fresh well seasoned patties in a soft bun that doesn’t break apart 👌🏽

What a great burger!! Highly recommended and will definitely be back again. Thank you ☺️

Strolled in this place whimsically on a rather torrid day, I for sure didn’t anticipate that I’d discover the best burger I’ve had in Britain and for years, on such a random occasion. I ordered a double ‘boring’ burger & and American fries, along with a refillable soda. When the food was ready, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of it: I’ve seen restaurants in London-which is just 40 mins away by train-charging the same price, if not higher, for burgers half the size. As for the fries, aside from being incredible crispy, they came in literally in a truckload, showered in house-made sauce and covered by a think layer of flavourful and umami-packed toppings. I am not a believer of taking snapshot of dishes before tasting them- in an age redolent of delicate social media posts, one came to know that what might be photogenic, is rarely as delicious. Thus, I always take a bite of my food first, before I take a photo-if at all, as most of the time the dishes would taste too forgetful and uninteresting to worth the trouble. I don’t have a photo this time- it’s certainly not because the food tasted inadequate in any way, but because I simply didn’t have the chance to do so. Yes, it’s that good. The patties were flavourful, juicy, and well-seasoned, but in my opinion, an ideal burger should be assembled like an orchestra- which is to say, whilst the beef is of course the star and key to a good burger, its quality can still be massively augmented if it is complemented well by the rest of the components. In this case, I have to say what I tasted was exactly that, a concert of flavour, texture, and fragrance, designed and performed flawlessly. The ‘boring’ burger I tasted was classical in its components- an all-American combo. However, every detail was worked to a high standard, from the acidic refreshment of pickles to the nicely- rendered bacon, and the American cheese- which in my view, melts and tastes better than any fancy cheeses in a burger, especially a smashed one. However, it was the bread that was the most surprising, and the fundamental drive for me to decide on the endeavour to write such a long review. It was simply magical. The bun was flavourful and nicely-toasted, yet not greasy or overly sweet, and despite the drippings from the patties, the bun held itself well structurally, and did not turn soggy at all- which made me suspect that it was a pretzel bun. But when I bit into it, the bun was so soft and airy in texture, that I felt it almost vaporised in my mouth- definitely not a typical trait of pretzel buns. I had little chance to investigate it further, as the entire burger disappeared, before I could even pull mu focus back from the gastronomic surprise I experienced. In fact, I was in such a pleasant shock, that I almost felt obliged to pay my compliments to the chef. I didn’t regret this choice, as the great myth regarding this amazing bread readily solved itself, when I talked to the chef, Jamie. Apart from being incredibly genuine and hospitable, the knowledge, dedication, and passion Jamie has for his craft is simply inspirational. Even just on the seemingly simple topic of burger buns, he is incredibly knowledgeable and meticulous about every aspect of it, from the choice, place of origin, and fineness of the flour, to the hydration, proofing, and butter content of the dough. It was then that I learned they even made their mayo in house. No wonder the burger they served was so good, when it was made by a literal artisan. I will of course be coming back, and next time I shall try the other items on the menu, that all sounds highly innovative and interesting according to their descriptions. Until then, I shall await that moment cheerfully, with a very high expectation.

Well good burger, staff were nice too 11/10 👍🏼

Honestly the best burger we have ever had! The Katsu fries were out of this world and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back!

Traveled from Netherlands and took a detour to eat a burger here. Worth every penny! Amazing burgers, delicious fries and great milkshakes. A must visit!

I came all the way from Australia just to eat here and it was definitely worth it. Best burger I've eaten hands down.

After seeing a video on Social Media, my husband and I were eager to taste some 'boring burgers'! We walked in and was about to order via the touch screens but, we really appreciated a staff member offering to take our order over the counter (customer service is rare with so much technology). He was polite, friendly and funny. Once our burgers arrived we were not dissapointed by the look and once we started to eat, the taste was great too. We ordered the 'boring fries' and unfortunately, we were dissapointed they weren't actually boring. The chips have salt, rosemary and garlic oil on them and the rosemary is pretty strong so standard salted chips would have been appreciated more. The portion of the chips however was really generous! As for the milkshakes - delicious! Full of creaminess and great authentic flavour.

I ordered the chicken burger and the chicken itself was burnt unfortunately! I wasn’t even able to eat it there was a burn taste. I tried the plain burger but it was fine, more flavour needed!

Decent price, £35 for 2 chicken burgers and katsu chips to share, 2 refill drinks. I liked the idea of the refill drinks, I felt like I received good value for money. The katsu chips were super yummy, large portion, was a good amount to share. The burger was amazing, we tried the chicken burger, they told my partner that it was being trialled, I would love for it to stay on the menu! Would come back again

Tried Boring Burger for the first time and went with the signature namesake beef burger, with an extra patty + American fries. Was very impressed with the welcome from the guys working there. The ingredients used are locally sourced and good quality, all making for a very tasty meal. It was up there getting close to the legendary Beefy Boys in Hereford. I can thoroughly recommend, and guessing probably the best burger in Guildford?! I'll definitely be back for more. 😃

Food was great, friendly people, service was amazing. Will definitely be a returning customer here.

Service was terrible. Burger was good. Very unprofessional atmosphere - hand in pants, no hair nets, labels suggested ingridients were off (I'm sure they just didn't update labels), touching bins then drinks, baggy trousers so could see their pants on the two guys. Waited 10mins to be acknowledged/take order, no apology either. Waiting time was 30mins, we were there after 30mins about 2 meters from the counter with our receipt but nobody called out anything, after another 15mins we finally spoke to them and our order had been waiting on the side. The cherry on top was them making fun of gluten free people and how they 'couldn't be bothered to do gluten free anymore' and treated it as a joke. I had earlier asked for a gluten free bun...it was literally the reason we chose them as it is advertised online and their in store menu they offer that but when we went they didn't have any...which was fine, it happens they can run out and then I am used to it... Let my husband have the bun and I just eat it with no bun (I'm intollerent not celiac so I can do that). I had therefore asked for a normal one instead when they said they didn't have any. I was right behind them when they made fun of the 'gluten free customer that just had a normal one'....I don't think they realise the consequences that intollerrnt still means 3 days of pain from the gluten and sometimes I might make that choice...i wouldn't have to if they had one and I wouldn't have gone there if they didn't advertise it but to be made fun of and to mock people with allergies and intollerences when working with food is totally unacceptable. Definitely not an atmosphere of pride and excellence in their product...more focused on easy money so I definitely wouldn't want to support them again despite the burgers being really good.

Reasonably priced food. Tasty. Easy to order. Took a while to arrive but pretty busy and you can see everything being made from scratch. Can't argue.

Has the absolute pleasure of dining at this place after seeing an insta post - amazing burger, had the signature with an extra pattie, smelt the business as it was being cooked freshly, the best burger I've had for a very very long time. Excellent food, friendly service - thoroughly recommend!

The boring burger isn't actually boring, infact it is very far from it. Burger was smashed to perfection and that bacon..... and to told it off was the seeded brioche bun. Messy and tasty. I had to go home and sleep it off after 😋

Superb burger and excellent fries. First time customer. Will be back for more.

Best burger I’ve ever eaten, and you won’t be waiting ages for it to be made either

We came here after finding these guys on deliveroo and sooo glad we did! There is no doubt how hard the guys here work to provide such quality food yet friendly service. As soon as you go in you can tell it's not a chain but a independent business. Seeing the manager of the restraurant working alongside his team during a busy Friday night goes such a long way. There is no doubt we will be spending our time and money here again for our next date night! Forget the wait time at nandos and see the boring burger guys instead!

Ordered a burger at 18:20 in pews still no burger at 20:40 we got a refund however very disappointed at the service and how the situation was handled. Shame.

Stopped by today for a boring burger and katsu fries,first visit Burger was juicy and full of delicious flavour The katsu fries were delicious! The added slaw really took them to next level Will definitely visit again 😋🍔

Chaotic... The burger itself was pretty good - comparable to a Five Guys (yes, I know they put a lot more care into these ones) but it was on the salty side. Problem is with the operation itself. Simple order took over 30 minutes to arrive, and there appeared to be no or minimal system in place, and so attention to detail beyond the cooking looked forgotten. Mix of staff in uniform or not, some in aprons, some not ; and the cleanliness needs some focus A good concept that needs an experienced operations overhaul

Amazing chips and fab burger! Will be ordering again for sure 👌

Delicious burgers and succulent beef brisket. Chips were also delicious with the boring sauce. Highly recommended.

Meat is very undercooked .. needed to re cook at home

Probably the best burger I’ve had, cooked perfectly, all ingredients really tasty and great fries DELICIOUS! Will definitely come again. Nice guys too, thanks

Obviously the burgers are great, but no one seems to be talking about how unreal their brownies are!!!!! I had the biscoff one and it was better than anything I’ve had from a bakery in Guildford. A bit embarrassing on their part if you ask me 😂. Very happy customer 10/10

Honestly one of the best burgers I have tried. Everything is freshly made and full of flavour. Tables outside and high stools inside . Great little venue with friendly people.

Great tasting burgers and fries. Will be back for some more soon.

Great Boring burgers and American loaded fries. We missed the lunchtime rush and went at 5pm. Food was made to order, and did not disappoint. Will be returning!

Burgers were out of this world. Highly recommend! Went for the boring burger, double patty and it was amazing. The potions of chips are big enough for two people!

Beautiful burger. Definitely coming back to double up on the patties

This place is utterly ace. Great value, great food.

Bunch of hot guys making amazing burgers.. nothing more to say!

I saw the Boring burger featured on instagram with @eatingwithtod. I had just picked up some friends visiting from South Africa so one the way home, i decided we had to try.. The burgers were big and FULL of flavour. It nearly beat me ill admit.. The boring fries were also nice and Crispy and full of flavour with rosemary. We all loved it. There are 2 tables outside, a few inside and a counter,so you may not always get a seat. We were lucky to tuck ourselves inside. The owner was great, the staff friendly and food really, really tasty. Glad i found it..

THE best burger I have had in a very, very long time! The fries are heavenly, and the macaroni bits are delectable. If you are ever in Guildford and fancy a burger, you need to try The Boring Burger. 100% would recommend!!

Truly excellent burger made by people who understand quality ingredients and cooking techniques, and care about their business. Delectable!

Amazing burgers and fries, amazing portions, quick service and a nice atmosphere.

Great food. Would always recommend

The best chicken burger I’ve had and service was fantastic.

We popped in to have a boring burger yesterday evening and have discovered the best burger in town. So far from ' boring'! Homemade sauces to die for, delicious brioche buns, tender, juicy burger and such a lovely balance of flavour. Chips are homemade and delicious, and so much thought has gone into the whole concept. A small menu...but one we will definitely be back to explore!!!!

Life changing burger! Highly recommend! Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Whilst my daughter and I were the only ones in, the atmosphere was nice as the kitchen is open and the location is excellent.

First visit, can't wait to go again. Enjoyed the most tasty, juicy and interesting burger . All the accompaniments were fresh and top quality. even the fries were a cut above. All served in such a friendly and welcoming place.

Waited 47 minutes for 2 burgers lol the large woman at the front in the pub has horrible work ethic and added an extra 15 min to our wait because she didnt tell the kitchen our order was takeaway lol burgers were great tho.

Outstanding food and great place to be

A boring burger that is anything but boring! I was sat with 3 mates tonight and they all said that’s one of the best burgers they’ve ever had, I agree. I don’t normally leave reviews because I can’t be arsed, I had too Tonight. Cheers 🍔

Food was nice and hot, portions were well sized. Would recommend to come for a meal and a drink with some friends

10/10 burger and fries, have dined in and ordered on multiple occasions and it never disappoints! Best in Guildford

Tasty burgers, great service. We all enjoyed - Lorenzo's Café!

Been ordering only from this place for the last few months. Burger king and mcdonalds can not beat these burgers

Yet to eat in but have had 3 deliveries from here and the food is incredible. Love the packaging! Keeps the food looking how the pictures look . Tried the mac and cheese bites they are insane dipped in the gravy ! Katsu fries are also amazing and my beef brisket burger urgh ! As I said I've ordered 3 times and the food has always been amazing. I will be going for the dine in experience that's for sure !! Belly full and happy ! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Great little burger restaurant in a quirky pub right in the town centre. Stopped in for a bite to eat before going to the theatre. Was able to order very quickly online whilst in the restaurant, small menu but excellent quality food, very tasty and didn’t have to wait long. Had the katsu fries with a lovely sauce and slaw and the brisket burger. The pub is great too with interesting decor and a large raised seating area to the rear. They had the football on and had a good atmosphere.

Fab burger and fries. Mildly irritating website offer I only found after I'd bought a drink. Will be back :)

Pretty decent burgers, only gripe is they could do with better signage. As we were initially confused when walked into a pub of a different name. Ordering is via an app, although didn’t see options for drinks on the site other than with the combo deal. Pub music was good. Fries were nicely seasoned.

Banging food made from the finest ingredients.
