Dropped in just before going to a play. Again, my old brain forgot to take pictures before eating the food. Take my word for it ... these are some good burgers!  They are well prepped, not too big, not too small, but just right. The fries and onion rings were delicious too the wait staff was nice, except I got jacked at the door when the waiter didn't see that we left payment; with a generous tip I might add. This little incident dropped them to a four in my book. Never nice to be questioned about paying your bill at a restaurant. The food was nonetheless very tasty. You won't go wrong here. Just make sure they see your payment before you try to walk out of the door. 

I'd go again.

Food: The Byron Burger
Drink: Oreo Milkshake

Great for a quick bite, except for the service. Got the Byron which is the classic bacon burger with the Byron sauce and usual toppings of cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Solid burger that comes with fries and overall is just the right portion. Also shared an Oreo milkshake with a shot of rum which was the perfect pairing to the food. 4 stars for the food, but -1 because the staff paid little attention to our table even though there were only one or two occupied tables at the time and service was slow at every point of interaction which is unfortunate.

The burgers are great but the service leaves a bit much to be desired and, depending on the day, you may end up waiting a while, not only for your food, but for the check, as well. 

The menu isn't enormous, but it has a well-rounded selection of beef, chicken, and veggie burgers, as well as salads, drinks (including milkshakes), and decadent desserts. 

If you want a good old-fashioned burger, you can't go wrong with either the Classic or the Smoky burger,  which is made with mature cheddar, streaky bacon, pickles, and a tangy BBQ sauce. They have plenty of sides, like regular fries, thick-cut potato wedges, and salads, but I can never order anything other than sweet potato fries if they're on the menu. They just add a little something special to those delicious burgers with their slightly sweeter and earthier flavor.

The prices are pretty fair, though they don't include a service charge, so if you've gotten used to the London way of not having to worry about tipping, you might need to rethink that here. That is, if you feel the moody staff deserves it.

One of the best burgers I've had in a very long time.  

Good menu with variety of options. Juicy burger cooked right and crispy fries.  Perfect portion. Bonus points for Siracha mayo.  Tasty milk shake and they have malt!  Small beer selection but local brew was good. 

Great service. Highly recommended!

After taking the train from Paris to King's Cross then hoping on the tube to Piccadilly Circus and checking into our hotel, my wife and I were starving.  

Luckily, this burger joint saved the day being so close. 

Quick, easy, and delicious.

The chains are literally everywhere in London: Cafe Rouge, Paul, Byron Burgers, Garfunkels, Carluccious, Cafe Nero, Pizza Express, Wagamama, and on and on and on....

While food has significantly improved over the years, there has been a slide downward towards a certain corporate big chain sameness (Garfunkels may as well be a politically correct 60s Soup Plantation) that seems unfortunate in a town with this much raw character at every turn. But unlike chains in the U.S., a handful of these chains dotting London have a real charm, great food, and some fantastic branding behind them (Wagamama, Paul, etc.) and a select few, Byron included, really knock it out of the park with both style and substance.  

Byron in particular offers some pretty darn good food.  I ordered a tasty medium-rare burger with pickle, red onion, fantastic meat, good bun, and great sharp cheddar cheese --overall a very good burger and a decent pint of craft beer (not on tap.)  Kids meals are excellent here too (as they tend to be all over London) with many, many more options for kids than in the States.  Case in point at Byron: gourmet mac and cheese (with real oozy cheese) fresh veg (garden quality carrots and cucumbers that my daughter remarked they were among the best she'd ever had, and I concur!) , fries (ick!), and dessert.  All that, and a pop art menu to color!

This location features a nice bar, fun graphic art on the wall, ornate Victorian ceilings, and a fantastic 70s chandelier.  

Not too shabby for a chain, some creative ideas and (thank goodness!) some good food to boot!

WOWOW! Hubs and I came here for lunch and we were not disappointed!! He ordered the special (I forget the exact name- darn!) but it had an Asian theme and it was OUTSTANDING!! I was so jealous! Touch of soy, tiny hint of wasabi, perfectly toasted bun. An amazing medley of flavour on the palate- especially for a burger! He had it done medium and it was cooked perfectly. I had the house burger. Also amazing! Pales in comparison to the burger special but still an excellent choice. 

We also had the hot wings. Don't fool yourself- go for the full 12 basket or you will be wishing you had ordered it (like us!). Even down to the blue cheese dressing- seriously exceptional. 

The service? Also 5 star! The server was super friendly, sweet, perfect amount of conversation. She has stunning blue eyes and gorgeous hair too! 

I'd absolutely recommend this place. They also have a wicked lunch special too. Don't miss out!

When a sign in front of a business says "Proper Hamburgers", you don't ask questions. You go in, eat and then ask questions about the experience so here are mine.

It irks me when people dog on chains for their inability to produce anything resembling good food. What do you expect? This isn't an experience for the most refined palate, it's a hamburger. To that end, Byron does a good job: the meat was cooked to the desired level and the fries were pretty tasty, what with that crunch on the outside but warm and soft inside. Wash it down with a Fuller's and you're set.

I wouldn't go out of my way to hit up a Byron next time I'm in London but if I'm near one and in need of food I would not rule it out.

I would definitely come here again. The staff were really friendly, the food was just as we expected, and it was comfortable and tasty. 

We were a group of about a dozen in for lunch and we booked a table in advance. They seated us in the back, where there was another similarly-sized group. I was impressed that they served both groups at about the same time with all the good coming out hot and no mistakes (that I could see).

The back room, while not having the natural light of the front, had a really cool mural and a light art installation in the ceiling that you have to see to understand. It's like lines of neon light in the iconic shape of the tube map. Very cool. 

Good place for lunch. Tasty food. Good service. What's not to like?
