Amazing variety of burgers, served with a smile. The posh chips are amazing and the food was served piping hot.
Reasonably priced for London. The place is small and has some stools for one to eat on and the decor is done like American diner with wooden walls decorated with funny plaques.
All in all a very good experience.

***HIGHLY RECOMMEND***

My order came to £12.50.

I had the "Grandioso burger", which came with a free drink despite not being a meal, which was a nice touch. It's a great location, say a 5-10 minute walk from Old Street underground station. I spoke to the owner after I ate my food. He is genuine, friendly and very ethical, based on the conversation we had regarding his pricing and how he sources food. The burger was huge, great value for money and very tasty, especially the sauce. The burger came with the right amount of sauce and cheese. It's a bit messy to eat, but thankfully this place sees that and has the sense to provide good quality wet wipes and tissue/napkins, all free of charge. Every burger on the menu (excluding any vegetarian or vegan options, not my thing lol) sounded great, I really struggled to choose. I spoke to the owner and he talked me through the menu and helped me make the right decision. Next time I am going to try one of the chicken burgers, one of which is grilled, the other fried. All of the beef patties are either Aberdeen Angus or Wagyu. There are places to sit, but there isn't much space inside. There are no toilets. You can pay by cash or card. Drinks wise, there are fizzy drinks/sodas and milkshakes. There are probably other options like water and juice etc, but I can't remember. I scored the atmosphere 3/5 because it isn't a restaurant "like that", but I would happily go again and eat in :)

If I had to critique one thing ironically it would be the size of the burger! It's so big it can be hard to eat, so please provide a very sharp knife to cut the burger in two, or ask customers if they would like that to be done by the chef.

Attached are pictures of what I order.

This small place is home to one of the best burgers you will eat in Old Street. On the menu: about 20 different burgers, from super-meaty to vegan. Bonus points for the originality of the burgers, and the rosemary salt fries.

I ordered the 'Swanky Burger' with French fries and I have to say, it was one of the best burgers I've tried, was seriously good. The onion relish adds a rich layer of sweet and savoury that just makes this burger so great. The servers were very friendly and the decor is pretty unique. Because of the location it is a little pricey but most burgers in London are. However you can get 25% off during the week using the 'Dines' app also get £5 off your first meal using my referral code: DCK4J

Tasty burger and sides at a premium price.

Wide variety of burgers including wagyu need and international styles. Variety of cheeses, sides and sauces. All in all well decorated joint with unique and tasty burgers but expect a meal to cost at least £12 on average.

Very small burger joint on the outskirts of the centre of London, but where it's small, it makes up for service and taste. Their burgers are tasty, their sweet potato fries and milkshakes are even better!

They deliver within an approximate 2 mile radius.

On the flipside, I did get ill the day after I ate from here.. So I will be making another trip and eating there again soon, to confirm, but I think that was a complete coincidence.
