We're Honest Burgers. We set out to do burgers a bit differently. Our burgers are made daily, in our own butchery, with great British beef, and our famous rosemary chips are cut and cooked daily, never frozen. We love local, and at Honest Burgers King's Cross we have our own exclusive local burger, a collab with Satan's Gravy, alongside some great local beers from Hammerton's Islington brews. Plus there's a new special burger every month, inspired by local food heroes and the stories they have to tell.

We took a group of 46 Scouts on a trip to London and the team couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. They were well organised and our food came out quickly and was piping hot. It was delicious too and great value for money....I can't recommend these guys enough. Other establishments either wouldn't accept our booking or insisted on an unrealistic minimum spend per person.More

Popped in for a quick meal, staff were friendly, attentive and the food was great. They were under pressure with a number of customers entering at a busy time on a Saturday but we were not left waiting long and our order was delivered in...a timely fashion. The staff knew what they were doing and put us at ease. We both had an honest burger, a couple of sides (chicken wings, were superb), a beer and a cocktail. The price was well worth the value, would throughly recommend to anyone who fancies a burger in Kings X!More

Honest has a bright and buzzy atmosphere. The burgers aren't the biggest, but on the other hand the onion rings very much seemed to be! Enjoyed the meal, wouldn't say it was stand out, but overall a good experience. We ordered off the Christmas meal...deal (burger, fries, side, sauce and soft drink for £20), though don't expect anything festive on the menu!More

So food brilliant Main gripe was that it was incredibly hot in the restaurant. We were sat in the window I asked to have air conditioning put on and was eventually told it wasn’t working. Waitress could see I was overheating and didn’t offer to...chg our table. Had to ask for water twice. Only paid service chg because didn’t want to make a fuss in front of my family. Such a shame as felt extremely over heated and uncomfortable by the time we left.More

Wow, what a lovely place this is…. As we cook a lot at home I find eating in a lot of restaurants quiet disappointing but as it was a treat for my son I thought we would give it a chance…. It was amazing, one...of the best burgers from a restaurant I have had in year (except for hubby’s homemade ones) would say the best. We were directed downstairs by a lovely lady and my son was so excited he didn’t know where to look next especially as we were sat right next to the kitchen so he could see everything they were doing. We both had their “basic” burger and it was lovely, cooked to perfection and so juicy. The rosemary fries were very nice. My son also had the buffalo wings which he said were fabulous. We had a lovely conversation with a gentleman who worked their who made my son so welcome discussing what we were going to do and did he like Pokemon (he’s 13 and autistic so this absolutely made his day) - they did do a quick comparison of who had what. Which made him smile… Reasonably priced and would definitely return again if in London. To be fair if we hadnt got so wet and cold on the Wednesday and then my son taken ill we were definitely going back at his request. Wish they made places up northMore
