Rather shockingly, I had never been to Honest Burger before last week. I like to see myself as relatively well versed when it comes to the more celebrated venues on the London burger circuit but for one reason or another, Honest had slipped me by, despite the fact that there is now a second branch in Soho as well as the original Honest in Brixton Market. After an unsuccessful house viewing in Brixton last Wednesday, we ended up walking past when there was no queue in sight so took a table.
I ended up plumping for the Special that week which was an American burger with pickles, American cheese and burger sauce as although tempted by the eponymous Honest burger, I knew I would have food envy if I deviated from the matching orders of my pals. We also had a side of their incredibly moreish coleslaw.
So much has been said about Honest, that I don't have anything particularly ground-breaking to add but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The chips, as everyone says, are highly addictive and I really like the fact that the, I want to say £9, price point included the chips as so often now you are looking at at about that just for the burger.
With Honest rolling out their burgers across London now, with the Camden and Portobello branches newly opened, adding to their brace in Brixton and Soho, I think that if they can keep their consistency up then their popularity will only continue to rise and rise. And quite rightly too.
