Square Meal Review of Burger and Lobster ?

‘Cheap and cheerful in Mayfair', Burger & Lobster was one of 2012's hottest tickets and has become a ‘must-try' for London's ever-curious foodies. This buzzy barnstormer delivers what it promises, with a chalkboard menu advertising just three items: meaty burgers served with extra cheese and bacon, juicy steamed or char-grilled lobster, and buttery lobster rolls in toasted brioche with a lick of wasabi mayo – all £20 (‘a bargain', with chips and salad thrown in). The best advice: go with a couple of friends, order the whole lot and share the spoils. Service is just ‘brilliant', and the interior is a ‘cool' mix of wood panelling, bare brickwork and close-packed tables, with some desirable red leather banquettes at the back. Trendies who want to live the zeitgeist lap up the queues and no-bookings policy; others find it an inconvenient irritation.

    bloke does blog :: Burger & Lobster, Mayfair, London

    It was my mother-in-laws birthday and a trip to London was on the cards. “Would you like to join us for a meal in London?” she asked. “Cool, where we going?” I replied, “Burger & Lobster”. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. Now Burger & Lobster, the name is a give away, you can either order a burger, or yep, you guessed it, a lobster; so no messing around here you go for one or the other...

  2. Wait-your-turn dining is typical stateside but, whilst we are famous for it, the thought of queuing for a restaurant is alien to most Britons. Regardless, reservationless restaurants have been popping up all over London in recent years. My favourite, without a doubt, is Burger & Lobster, and it would seem it Londoners are fans too as one restaurant in Clarges Street has become a 4-link chain across The City in under 12 months...

    Ross eats :: Burger & Lobster

    Their original venue in Mayfair is yet another no reservations place (you can reserve places in the newly opened and double sized Soho restaurant) where you put your name down on a list and they’ll either call you back or you can find space at the bar. I chose the later and ordered a pint, paid for it in cash, received far less change than I had expected as it turns out a automatic service charge had been added. Space at the bar is limited and in stark contrast to my days lunch venue of the awesome yet empty Ducksoup the place was rammed at 5.30pm and as more and more people levered their way into the bar the more I needed to continually move out of the way of people my desire to think poorly of the meal increased. I then was seated and everything changed...

    Caviar Girl :: Burger & Lobster

    On a Friday evening after a long week of work, waiting a few hours for dinner while hunger quickly sets in is perhaps not the most ideal scenario. But word on the street suggested that Burger & Lobster was worth waiting for. So I lined up, and then I put my name down, and then I hoped that they would accommodate us within the next two to three hours. I have to say the whole process was very civil. If people are prepared to wait this long for a table then something must be right about the food. We are talking lobster after all...
