Buster’s is a burger bar in Brixton, South London. The restaurant is the latest venture from the dynamic hospitality duo, Matt Harris and Tommy Kempton, the team behind the acclaimed neighbourhood restaurant Ploussard and the popular fried chicken brand, Other Side Fried. With Buster’s, the pair transitions from poultry to prime cuts, offering a simplified yet flavourful menu that highlights the best quality ingredients.
Situated just a minute’s walk from Brixton underground station, Buster’s takes over the former Other Side Fried site on Atlantic Road. The restaurant, housed in one of Brixton's iconic railway arches, has been newly fitted out, reflecting a modern and inviting aesthetic. Wood panelling and neutral tones, reminiscent of the understated elegance found at Ploussard in Battersea, provide a comfortable and stylish atmosphere.
The menu at Buster’s showcases expertly crafted burgers, using premium Welsh Wagyu beef from Alternative Meats. Guests can choose from three signature burgers: the Hamburger, featuring a Wagyu beef patty with green peppercorn dijonnaise; the Cheeseburger, with American cheese added to the mix; and the Buster Burger, served with the restaurant’s special Buster sauce. All burgers come in a specially developed, buttered potato roll that complements the rich flavours of the patties.
As well as burgers, the menu includes delicious sides like French fries and indulgent sauces such as chicken fat mayo, green peppercorn dijonnaise, and cheese sauce. For dessert, customers can enjoy a decadent chocolate mousse with caramel sauce. Buster’s also offers a variety of beverages, including locally brewed beers, cocktails, and pet nat wine by the glass.
Other Side Fried fans will still be able to enjoy their favourite chicken dishes, as the brand will continue operating as a delivery-only service, popping up at festivals and private events. Buster’s is a must-visit destination in Brixton, combining high-quality ingredients with a laid-back, vibrant dining environment.
