About

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 Cambridge we have our own exclusive local burger, in collaboration with Guerilla Kitchen, alongside some great local beers from neighbouring brewery BrewBoard. Plus there's a new special burger every month, inspired by local food heroes and the stories they have to tell.

As a celiac, it is uncommon to eat burgers. It is even more uncommon to have good burgers. I liked it though the fries seemed over fried and too dry. The staff was very friendly, but it was a bit cool inside the restaurant. Obviously, the staff is not responsible for it as I think the windows do not have good isolation or maybe the heating wasn't working properly.This is the reason for 4 stars.

Really great burger and chips! I've been here a few times, and they're not particularly fast, but it's worth the wait!

Timing Issue? Have been in this restaurant twice only. Return again because I want to confirm my impression. Often saw freshly prepared dishes ready to collect at the counter. There's often a delay that the food was cooling down at the counter, before it was delivered to the customers. The food was only slightly warm as a result. The green salad was only lettuce, vinegar and some fried onions. Normally people expect green salad means a mix of different salad vegetables with a slice of tomato or a raw onion ring? Were the fries overdone or was it their style? As it was quite dry and salty. We needed extra dipping sauce to finish. But still, the beef patties were genuinely juicy and well seasoned. Too bad the patties were only slightly warm. The environment is clean, nice and comfortable. The tables are not too close and provide enough space between customers.

All I can say is wow the food here is incredible such pride and passion has been put into the food by the 3 chefs working there so I had to personally thank each of them myself me and my partner would happily travel 2 hours just to eat here again I enjoyed every single bite and wanted one to take home with me well done lads keep up the good work

Probably the best burger i’ve had in Cambridge, and i’ve tried most of them! I didn’t realise this when we first walked in, but their meat is produced using regenerative farming practices, and it seriously shows: even amidst all the strong topping flavours of our burgers (i got the local special Cambridge burger, my partner got the chilli burger), the taste of the beef itself shines through, and it’s honestly excellent. The host was super friendly even though the restaurant was busy, and even took the time to answer our questions about regenerative farming and show us pictures from his visit to one of the Honest cow farms. Turns out that soil health and animal health are not only good for human health, they’re also damn good for human taste buds. 😋 Oh, and the rosemary chips and bacon gravy were delicious as well. Highly recommend all around!

Cambridge town has one of the best burgers including a smash burger option. Don’t miss while you are in the prestigious town. I celebrated my daughter’s graduation and second meal I had after celebration was Honest Burger. Chicken wings were equally good and smash burger was my favourite. Must try place for an afternoon treat.. enjoy

First honest burger in years and first in Cambridge. A solid 4. Not special enough for me to crave another in another couple of years, but the service is friendly and prompt, and the ingredients seem reliable. I didn’t expect the place to be so full at noon! People are actually waiting at the entrance and staring, which gives me anxieties... perhaps next time I’ll order takeaway. I forgot the beef burger doesn’t come with cheese. Maybe one dayI’ll try the supposedly “lighter” smashed burger with cheese then. But I do appreciate the availability of medium rare beef patty (<3 fresh meat), otherwise M*Donalds would suffice. I would prefer a little more salt,but it’s good for my heart. The searing still offers some crunchiness. The bun is plump and gives a satisfying bites. The menus are informative, although I had to look at deliver menu for nutrition info on special items. And 20% off with Student Beans isn’t bad.

Waited 50 minutes for 2 burger chips and side orders. The chips were too overcooked and had too much salt on them, i couldnt eat more than a few evenothough i hate wasting food. I ordered coleslaw as a side and it tasted stale. The burger was fine. However, the lettuce wasnt even fresh and the chicken was overcooked. For 20 pounds and wait of 50 minutes, it definitely wasnt worth it. I would have rather spent that money on KFC.

May 2022: So good, we are making an effort to find another location during our travels to eat at again. Actually cooked the way we asked (medium rare), sturdy and proportional bun, with thick enough cheese to notice. For the chips, we got a side of bacon gravy that was so rich, deep and flavorful, we likened it to French saucier level good. My partner wasn t that hungry but he stuffed himself just in case we don t get to go again before we leave England. Cannot recommend enough. May 2024: we did a one-night layover otw to Ireland and stayed in Windsor. The burger was just how we remembered it. Still amazing.

The burgers are tasty, but why so small? 15.5£ for the one in the picture. When I left I was still hungry.

They are not respecting delivery drivers After all they are humans too and they should not treated like this. They always make them waiting to get orders and they told specially to wait outside not even inside. The way he was telling me was rude and disrespectful. Not good place to go where they are not seeing everyone as human beings

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Burger was delicious I would recommend the Cambridge Burger. Will be coming back.

November 21, 2024

Its been a few years since we visited this location and the team has clearly changed. We used to visit regularly and had some incredible customer service that had you stand out as an example to your competitors. Previously we have experienced exemplary customer service and experience, something I highly value in a world full of diverse eating options. Unfortunately yesterday evening we went to the Cambridge restaurant at approximately 6pm. There were only three of us and we entered the location (one that doesnt allow you to book) with no one ahead of us. We were immediately told a table was about to be free and would be sat in a couple of minutes. A moment later another group came in after us and made it clear they had there name on a list and should be seated first. The waitress looked confused and got the mananager to assist who found a hand written list and proceeded to seat the other group. We were offered no apology or really any explanation. We were then told it would be another 20 mins. We chose to leave and eat elsewhere. We wont be back. If you refuse to operate with reservations then that should be a rule for all. If you are going to use a list system all staff should be aware of it. And if you are going to mess around with previously loyal patrons at least offer some apology.

Downstairs takes ae not great. I would wait next time for a table upstairs. The toilets are downstairs, and the place has poo ventilation. The food was good. The smashed burger was great. No Rosemary on Chips option would be nice.

An expensive stomach ache Had an early dinner in this place. Less than an hour later was in the toilet of the hotel room with bad diarrhea. I arrived in UK that day, and only had breakfast at home. So, no. It wasnt something else I ate, because I didnt. PS: 10% service charge already printed in the receipt before the grand total is not honest at all

Very popular, it took a while to be given a table. The wait was worth it though, because the honest burger is one of the best balanced burgers out there. The meat is key - its plentiful, well textured, juicy and perfectly cooked. Not rare or burnt or rubbery. Everything on it is harmonious, it doesnt even need tomato sauce added. Im often underwhelmed by rosemary flavoured chips, but these were crispy and even better dipped in the table mayonnaise. The mint lemonade was refreshing. Yes youre a bit too close to your neighbours. Its not too noisy though. Toilets are clean, although down some steep steps. All in all, recommended.

In general a decent visit. I have some critic points though. Well first, the drinks aren t as large as the menu says. Still small in my eyes. I ordered their gin tonic which was nice though I lacked of gin. Their chicken pieces are absolutely lovely. Great job there! The burger I had though, which was supposed to be a double smashed burger with bacon as a topping, was a little boring though. First of all, I only got a single smashed one. So my order wasn t picked up right. The sauce was great though I have to say that the burger itself was quite small and also it just didn t have to many ingredients on it. It s just missing something more. The chips that were included with the burger were of great taste and quality. Next time, I would order something different but a menu refresh would be a good idea. For what you get, it s just a little too expensive, especially when it comes to the burger.

Updated September 5, 2024 Previous positive experiences brought me back here this evening and unfortunately I did not find the same quality and quantity. The bread is different and its not that great, the sandwiches seem smaller to me. The burger is a little overcooked and is dry. Im keeping the 5 stars for now. Previous review Five stars deserved both for the goodness of the food and for the quality of the service and the comfortable and not too noisy environment. Limited choice of sandwiches and little different from each other but this is precisely the strength of the place: good meat counts expertly and quality ingredients. Vegan menu available. Limited beer selection, but there is Guinness draft. Try lemonade and mint, a sort of virgin mohito. The fries come with the burger and the other side dishes (onion rings, chicken wings...) are on-top and not alternatives. Its easy to talk if you go with company because theres no confusion. Patatin; We had a pleasant evening. Vegetarian options: a variety of veg dishes available Dietary restrictions: veg on the list Parking: there is no parking Kid-friendliness: more suitable for adults than children who perhaps wont enjoy the burger without sauces. Wheelchair accessibility: full possibility

Fantastic, as is every one of this chain. Local burger and beer were a unique and delicious choice, staff were friendly and food arrived very promptly. Rosemary salted chips were cooked to perfection as usual, overall a fantastic experience and very reasonably priced for what you get. Parking: Use the park and ride - significantly cheaper than parking in one of the city centre car parks.

Planned to go to HONEST with my son for a while and finally made it there. The greeting was friendly, the atmosphere was at a perfect level making it easy to converse. The restaurant looked clean including the toilets. The menu had a great range of burgers & sides. My son requested a custom burger which they were happy to accommodate, burgers well presented and served hot with fresh chips. We had onion rings and buffalo wings which were crisp and coated well. The service was friendly and not intrusive, the staff looked happy and were engaging with all the guests, big shout out to J who made our burgers and accommodated my son s dietary requirement they were amazing. A great experience, will definitely return and highly recommended Vegetarian options: Good range of vegetarian sides and burgers Dietary restrictions: Halal diet catered for Parking: Some off street parking available for disabled guests and plenty of parking available in the grand arcade Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for children, my son loved the attention, he was given a children s menu and the staff engaged with him well

Was our second visit here in a month. Im allergic to gluten and dairy and had no issues the staff were reassuring that equipment would be cleaned down as best they could to not cross contaminate the dairy. Food was really good. Let down abit by the toilet but with ongoing renovations to the main loos as you can imagine the use of one toilet will get pretty gross fast. No reflection on staff, food or dinning environments that were all clean. Dietary restrictions: Able to get gluten free and dairy free foods.

My coworkers are still talking about the limited time fried chicken sandwich, so Im a bit jealous I didnt try that! I got the smashburger, and it was also quite good. The beef tasted nice and fresh, and the sauce on the burger was delicious. The building itself is also very cute, and fits in nicely. We waited for a while for our seats, but I think that was just a testament to the quality of the food. Highly recommend if youre looking for a good burger (or apparently a good chicken sandwich)!

July 21, 2024

Small room with air conditioning vents that cool the room excessively. Terrible burgers, almost completely burned. Terrible chips, dry and with a large amount of crushed, inedible. High cost for the quality of the food. Too bad, I remembered it for the quality and hospitality.

Great place for gluten free eating and the chips are the best. But the service with a smile does not exist for the waitress. She ignored my questions and when she wanted to pick up the menu my phone was on she just did a waving motion until I moved it. She seemed to talk and communicate well with the girls in the restaurant so I suspect she s a man hater. Unfortunately due to this I will not be returning.

First and foremost the queues are outside on the bank holiday weekend but the whole of the ground floor of the restaurant is empty When we finally got in the food was actually good and wholesale - especially the flavoursome and crispy chips. I found the onion rings to be extremely greasy and a big disappointment - it did have potential but it was nowhere near as good as the GBK onion rings which I hold in high esteem. Prices were reasonably for central Cambridge.

The short woman that served us on Monday had ABSOLUTELY NO service skills. She looked angry or disappointed to seeing us come through the door. She basically threw the menus to the table and did the same with the food. It took ages to get our change back from the servers even if there were only around 6 tables (max) to be served. As a server myself, if I could give 0 stars for service I would. And for the record I have come here more than once and been served with her, both times we received the poor treatment but this time was just outstandingly bad. Training on table manner is required as it s unacceptable to feel so unwelcome to a restaurant. Nevertheless, food was good, warm and delicious which is the only reason why they re receiving 2 stars. Portions were quite good. The restaurant seemed decently clean apart from the fork my partner got which was visibly dirty and unpolished

Lovely little restaurant right next to the grand arcade, that I hadnt been to for years prior, so was wondering if much had changed. We managed to get a table (which we havent done beofre since it is so popular and conveniently placed, and our drinks were sweet, delicious and came quickly The atmosphere is amazing - we were sat in the side, away from the kitchen and most of the tables, but it made no different to be honest. Our waiter was nice and got us everything we asked for, and the service was speedy. I am aware that the service varies here, but for us it was stellar and it scarcely took 20 minutes, despite the fact there were quite a few people in there. I have been at dinner before and it is usually much busier and the wait is a bit longer than usual, but it is definitely worth the wait! The food was on another level! The rosemary-salted chips are a nice touch, but are quite salty so be careful if you dont like to much salt. The burgers were sublime and we ate ours all up, practically licking the plate clean! The accustomed to our specific needs quickly and it was all around a lovely meal out I cant wait to visit again! Parking: Near the Grand arcade so very easy to get to. If no spaces, there are plenty of road spaces that are sometimes available to use. Parking in Cambridge can be a nightmare, but you usually find a space eventually.

Been here a few times. Great burgers and fries. Really good selection of beer and wine. Situated next to the Cambridge Corn Exchange, very good for pre- concert food and drink. Had to wait for a table as they only accept reservations on certain nights. Very good service. Recommended.

Arrived and was seated quickly by friendly member of staff. She quickly explained it was card payments only. We ordered drinks and food together and they arrived quickly. I would just say alittle too greasy and the coleslaw had a lot of vinegar so couldnt eat it all. Otherwise all good and would return and give it another go.

Fantastic food & service. A group of us (3 adults and 2 children) called in to Honest Burger on Saturday 24 Feb. There was an issue with one of the kids meals being delayed. The staff were really apologetic and compensated us amazingly well for the delay. We were very, very impressed! The Burgers were great and the atmosphere in the restaurant was outstanding. This was our first visit to Honest burger in Cambridge and we cant wait to go back. Kid-friendliness: Very kids friendly

Our favourite place to eat and get a burger! My son has coeliac disease and this place is perfect to cater for him, they reassure me its safe for him and there is no extra charge for the gluten free bun, its included in their bargain set menu for children. My son loves it and always asks to go here if we go out to eat. Personally, I found the food amazing! The onion rings and the vegan burger is the best I have ever had!! Friendly people and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Honestly, our favourite place to eat out.

We were met by a beaming Rafaela who couldnt do too much for us. She looked after us and our old spaniel and made sure we had everything we could ask for. Great grub and drink too - gorgeous burgers and those rosemary fries were divine Highly recommended after a long walk around historic Cambridge. Wheelchair accessibility: My wifes mobility scooter drove in and out easily and the accessible toilet on the ground floor was fine too.

Came here recently and had two veggie burgers with my partner -- the fritter and vegan teriyaki. Personally, I thought both were pretty good, but not amazing. Nothing wrong with either of them, I just have preferred the veggie burgers elsewhere to these (e.g., Butch Annies). However, I would say these were better than most boring veg burgers for sure -- so around 4-4.5 stars. I also wasnt that big of a fan of the rosemary chips. The vibe of the place is great though, and service was also quite good.

Never again. Medium burger was bright red on the inside, looked raw Well done was so over cooked and dry. There are better burgers and fries in the pub 5 mins away, only drawn to this place because it had burger in the name (weren t very nice though).

Have wanted to try this place for a while & wasnt disappointed. Service was quick & friendly even though we got the last couple of spaces in the place. The food was really tasty & it was a real treat to be able to have gf onion rings! All sides are gluten free & there is a gf bun available. Veggie & vegan options too. The only niggle was the ladies toilet which was grubby, dilapidated (one of the 2 cubicles was out of order as well) & out of soap when I visited. A member of staff was very helpful & provided some handgel very quickly though. We will definitely be back for the food & service though! Parking: 5 minutes walk from the Grand Arcade car park which is free after 6pm!

Had to wait in the doorway for 25 minutes as they were busy. I am mobility impaired and would never have had access on my mobility scooter. I managed with my walking stick. It is great they have a limited menu, which makes choices simple and fast. Great quality food and non-alcoholic drinks. Very tasty and generous portions of burger meals. Fair prices, nice staff. Parking: Nearby public parking garage which has several disabled spaces. Wheelchair accessibility: Unsuitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters.

The burger was very tasty and the service was excellent. The place is fairly accessible, and the staff very understanding. Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a double door one of which needs unlatching at the top, so somebody needs to let you in. Although the place is on the small side, theres plenty of room for wheeling. I spied a disabled loo, but didnt need it.

First time here after hearing good things. It was busy, but I take that as a good sign. Service was good from all concerned. I really liked the rosemary salted chips - crispy, salty, and just enough rosemary to make them more interesting than most other places. I had the Honest burger and it was very good - actually cooked medium, nice cheese, bacon and onion relish. Just didnt quite hit the 5th star from the scarcity of pickles and it just seemed slightly small somehow. Tasted really good though!

I had a Brookline burguer and the Pilsner lager. Both options very good price/value. The chips were not my favorite, but definitely they are good, abundant and come with the burguer (and not as a separate order as in some other places). The only thing is that I noticed a bit of a rush to pay and leave...but totally understandable as it was Friday evening. Generally a very good option for a tasty burger

The best burgers in the UK - at least that I ve had. Uniquely, you can get a hamburger rare or medium rare. Turns out there is a law in this country requiring burgers to be cooked to a temp. that results in at best a medium well burger; i.e. a not good burger. I am told these guys have their own beef herd and send in beef samples weekly to DEFRA to test for e - coli etc. The reward is permission to cook rare burgers. And wow! what burgers! The meat is delicious, moist and flavoursome as only grass fed cattle can be. The sides here are good; a kind of poutine ( gravy and cheese over chips) is a standout; the beer is Brooklyn lager (nice); and the staff at the Cambridge location are warm and friendly. Just a great place to grab a uniquely good burger. Go there, you won t regret it.
