Honest Burgers

Bristol, 2026-03-01

Matt and I need to grab a quick bite to eat before Frankie’s Circomedia performance, and with Cabot right nearby, Honest Burgers seems a safe bet. I won’t describe “having the chips included in the price” as a USP, but it’s damn close these days - oh for the days when Byron were doing that and it felt like a rip off. It does help, though, that the rosemary salt chips are actually quite good. The chocolate millionaire shake starts strong with the cream and toppings, but the body of the thing is a touch underwhelming. The burger itself is always smaller than I remember it being - I suppose those included chips have to come from somewhere - but it’s good enough for what it is. The onion rings are mighty substantial, and even between me and Matt manage to remain undefeated. Proper hunks of onion, but occasionally a bit too much soggy batter.
