Burger & Lobster

We ate here on a midweek night before going to the theatre - its perfect as the service is speedy and efficient so you know you wont be late for the show. The food was superb, we both went for the lobster which was not only huge but tasted fantastic. The atmosphere was lively even on a Tuesday night and there was a real buzz about the place.

I would definately recommend this to friends, great value, great food and great service - what more do you need from a reaturant. Im heading bacxk next week as the burgers looked great!

I visited here on Saturday.

The service is good, friemdly and the staff, they are efficient. Bar staff made cocktails not on the menu and they were spot on. Always a good sign

The lobster roll was good, the garlic butter had enough garlic without being overpowering.

Went for a coffee at the end, macchiato, good cream and great taste, unlike so many restaurants who have bad coffee

Will def be going back.

Burger & Lobster only serves two things, burger and lobster (apologies for the pun!). Have you check out their website? It shows two tables with one having lobster and the other a burger, it was simple yet punchy and hit the mark.

SC and I ordered one of each and a bottle of wine.

Our order took a while to arrive but our lovely waiter, Rihanna kept us informed of the status which was great. Since it’s Christmas time, we were happy to wait while catching up and sipping our wines.

Our lovely lobster and burger arrived and we proceeded to wear the bibs provided to us.

On the first few bites, the burger stood out more. It was a good piece of meat patty, wonderfully seasoned and delicious. It is after all a Goodman burger as this is their latest opening.

We ordered our lobster grilled and it came out with a good bouncy bite to it. As we continued our meal, the freshness of the lobster starts to hit you. I was hoping for the soft sweetness of fresh lobster which was not boldly evident in the first bite, but that might be because I ordered it to be grilled instead of just steamed, I’m not sure.

Looks can also be deceiving as we nearly contemplated ordering three dishes instead of two like the table next to us. Thankfully, we did not as there was a whole lot of meat in that one lobster and it took me a good steady concentration of 30 minutes to extract all that juicy meat out.

The accompanying garlic butter was fragrant and not overly rich which went well with the lobster. The lobster and burgers are definitely the stars of the dishes with the salad and chips playing a side role.

SC and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and the place has a great relaxed and informal atmosphere to it. I also have to make a special mention to our lovely waitress, Rihanna who only made our experience so much better. She checks on us regularly to make sure that we were good and even showed us the tanks where the lobsters were kept. This was a tip that I got from the twitter-verse, thank you!

The best part of Burger & Lobster is yet to come, both dishes are priced at £20! Decadence without breaking the bank, I love this place already and I can see myself coming back regularly. We need more places like this in London, places that serve delicious food at great value.
