Burger & Lobster

I love lobster, but never eat it in London… Too expensive. But then my friend told me she had never had lobster! I had to rectify this and so, off we went to this affordable lobster chain.
This particular branch is just off the food hall of Harvey Nichols, on a quiet night in the store, the restaurant was buzzing. Could still get a table at 7.30pm on a Friday with minimum wait.
They begin by telling you the 3 options, but not the 4^th burger and half a lobster option. There’s no starters or dessert menu, everything is rattled off by the waiter.
There’s a full drinks menu and we both had the rum, pineapple, jasmine and lime option which was excellent.
Along came our lobster plates at break-​neck speed. Impressive presentation and portions. Lobster was steamed and delicious in taste. The salad had unnecessary parmesan. They give you JUST enough butter sauce (but I’m a greedy girl) but the chips were undercooked, standard skinny fries.
This place fails at customer service, only providing 1 meat-​reaching device, not cutting all the shells so 2 people at 1 table had issues getting the meat out of the shells. Not filling up water, not bringing change, no thank you from reception as we left.
I did appreciate the super thick napkins and the bibs though.
Overall, I liked the lobster, the sauce and the price so I’ll go back, just without expectations of service which is fine.
Now that I know.

The Lobster and Lobster roll is soooo delicious! It is a great stop for lunch while you are shopping.

This restaurant is on the fifth floor of an department store. They have three items that they do well, Lobster (whole), lobster rolls, and burgers. I had the lobster roll and it was great! It is difficult to prepare a bad lobster roll, however they elevated by adding a some a unique butter sauce on the side. I could eat there everyday as long as I was able to work it off!

This restaurant only offers three meals: The Traditional Lobster Roll with Fries and a Small Salad, a Grilled or Broiled Lobster with Fries and a Small Salad, or a Burger with Fries (and perhaps the same Small Salad).
While it was surprising to not have a menu offered to us when we sat down the small selection made the ordering of our meal very easy. What’s more, the food came out relatively quickly and you would hope so! If you only serve three meals «they sho nuff betta be good»!! Yes, I meant it that way!
The food WAS awesome and we enjoyed everything (totally pushing to the back of our mind that the meal was priced in POUNDS)!
While we waited an hour for our table the restaurant is conveniently located in a mall with plenty of browsing available while you wait. I would totally recommend this restaurant!

A little but of lobster please. Well if u have been here u know exactly what u are getting. 20 pound meal burger or lobster pretty tasty although I had the sandwich and felt like a snack. But that is me more than them. Good service and vicinity. Quick and cheerful. The meal was in front of me within about 3 minutes. This was fast dining that was quicker than McDonald’s. I will be back at some point be certain

Burger and Lobster is the BEST! I mean what else could you ever want to eat besides for burgers and lobster rolls?
As expected, B+L executes both exceptionally. Juicy, medium rare burgers and delicious, buttery lobster rolls.
And even better, everything comes with salad AND fries and is the exact same price regardless of what you get — burger or lobster. Easy, cheap-​ish, and insanely delicious.

Three of us decided to try this place on a Wednesday night. It was crowded and there was a 30 minute wait for a table but the bar was open so we took seats there. Actually a good choice since the bartender who was also our waiter was very personable. There are three items on the menu, whole lobster, lobster roll and burger. We ordered all three. The food was served quickly and presentation was great. I had the lobster roll and there was plenty of meat in a mild dressing. The bread was disappointing, looked like a thick slice of regular bread sliced into a pocket but it was toasted (or fried) and had a spiced butter or oil on the outside. My colleague’s lobster was meaty and good tasting (she said) and my other colleague’s burger was huge and very juicy. We were very happy to try the place and will return if we get the chance.

I’ve been meaning to try this place in NYC but never got the chance so when we were heading to London, I knew I had to try it. We got there at around 9PM on a Saturday and the place was packed. We got pretty lucky and got a high top right away and didn’t have to wait for a table. We could have also sat at the bar. We ordered the burger and the lobster roll — both were realllllly good! Burger was cooked perfectly and there was so much lobster in that little roll, never would have guessed.
It was really good but not sure I would go back seeing as how expensive it is! Maybe if we both ordered the whole lobster, I would have thought it was more worth it.

Loved it… we went to two locations while we were there.

Great lobster but I had a sore throat after finishing all of my chips! £20, still worth trying

Finding a delicious Lobster Roll in London wasn’t surprising as London has to cater to tastes across the board — what was surprising is that this place was packed and only had 3 food items on the menu.
If I were a resident of London this place would work it’s way onto my comfort food restaurant list.

After a day of shopping it was time to refuel. I was extremely skeptical since I live in the states and this restaurant was categorized as traditional American. The burger did not disappoint. It was flavorful, juicy and cooked as order. This burger was better than a very popular place in LA. Also, the service was great and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

I loved, loved, loved this place! It also popped up on my newsfeed and I finally got to try it!
There’s only 3 main courses on the menu: burger, full lobster (steamed or grilled) or lobster roll which amount to £20 each. We opted for the full lobster (steamed) and lobster roll.
They are both to die for! So delicious since the full lobster was so juicy and full of meat, it was really fresh as well! I managed to get all the lobster out of its nooks and crannies (couldn’t let it go to waste) and was fully satisfied after the meal.
The lobster roll was served on a toasted brioche bread with lobster and mayonnaise inside, the dish is served cold, but the mixture of sweetness from the brioche bread and lobster alongside the saltiness of the mayonnaise made it a perfect combination!
The chips were thin cut and crispy, it went well with both the lobster and lobster roll.
The staff were all really friendly and you could tell they had a great synergy between them which created a good vibe in the restaurant.
If you’re in London or Manchester in the UK, you DEFINITELY have to give Burger and Lobster a try!

It’s our fourth day in London and we decided to try out this place.
The restaurant was empty when we arrived. Lucky us! As I walked by the restaurant the other day, the queue was so long that I couldn’t even see the end of it.
They don’t have a food menu, our server (very nice guy) explained to us what food they were serving. Basically, we can choose grilled/​steamed whole lobster, lobster sandwich or the normal beef burger.
The lobster sandwich was just fabulous, lobster meat mixed with their special dressing with crispy grilled white bread. I just can’t stop eating, and the fries were just how it should be — crispy yet soft in the side. The burger, not as exciting as the lobster sandwich but it was not bad at all.
Extremely attentive and service oriented, not to mention the food was amazing as well!
We are planning to visit again before we leave London.

The name says it all. They only have 2 things on the menu — funnily enough a burger or lobster and both for £20 — nice and simple. There are a few variations and they come with salad and fries. But they are perfect. Unbelievably tasty and moreish and here lies the problem — it is always packed. Get there early or grab a seat at the bar and people watch. But it is worth a wait.
As to which to go for — I can’t really say they are both fantastic

My husband and I have been on a Lobster Roll kick and had a local tell us this was where to get the best one in London and it didn’t disappoint! From the roll to the lobster with the garlic butter sauce it was delicious! So good in fact that we plan to eat there again before we leave! My fav meal in Londonderry so far! Service was great too!

Really nice lobster. Great ambience too. Suitable for friends/​families. About £30 per person for the lobster and a beer. Little bit expensive given everything but it’s expected in London

I have never had the burger (I don’t know whether I’ll ever convince myself to try out a 20gbp burger when I can have an entire lobster for the same price), but the lobsters are just excellent.
I suggest going for the lobster itself, as the lobster roll is, while yummy, quite small in comparison (and for the money).
If anything, the desert menu could use a little upgrade, but there are plenty of places in the area to go for a desert afterwards. So just keep it simple and enjoy your lobster.
The service is always impeccable. Just be ready for the inevitable wait (as there are no reservations) — but they do give you a buzzer so you can browse the store and look around until you’re called for your table.

It was my first time trying lobster and to be honest … I didn’t really liked it. But the sauce and the salad were really delicious.
My friends that like seafood and tried lobester before said it was really good tough.
Any way It was worth a try.

A great experience and a delicious dinner! I love a good burger and was not disappointed. My friend had the lobster and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also love that the menu is straightforward, 3 items, done. Wish we had a Burger and Lobster in Sydney!
