Nestled in the vibrant heart of Londonderry at 341 Upper Street, Byron offers a quintessential American-style burger experience that has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. This restaurant stands out with its industrial chic decor, exuding a laid-back yet trendy vibe that perfectly complements its reputation for delivering mouthwatering burgers and classic American comfort food. Whether you're craving a juicy beef burger, a Beyond Meat vegan option, or crispy courgette fries, Byron promises a satisfying culinary journey in a relaxed setting.

Sup my fellow English Yelpers! Thanks to your input I was able to find a proper burger my first night in town. 
Byron did not disappoint. It's an American style burger joint with good food and nice decor. Service is great - got there on a Sunday evening and it wasn't crowded. Sat down and ordered a Byron ale - of course...

The Mac n Cheese balls are delish!! Crispy, meatball sized and cheesy with bacon, a bit of hot sauce and the Byron cheese - all together it made a great starter.

I ordered the Reuben and it was great! Cooked as ordered and everything just worked.

Overall great visit!!

Cheers mate!

If you're in the mood for a good burger and fries at a good price, this is your place! Coming from the US, I am used to restaurants carrying vegan burger substitutes that aren't chickpea or black bean and this place has the Beyond Meat burger!!! I was so excited to see this on the menu. I've had the chicken sandwich before and it was delicious but this is just so good to me. Really, any style with Byron sauce is good. My husband really likes their Byron original burger. We usually get sweet potato fries and regular fries to share. Finally, if you're feeling extra indulgent, their brownie and ice cream is so tasty. It's a super decadent brownie so when you're in the mood for something like that, this is the ticket. Sometimes you just want a burger and fries and this is the place.

I know, I know...Byron's burgers are the hype in London right now and I am very aware that I'm probably one of the few who actually didn't enjoy their dining-experince here. 

This Angel-Byron is really trying very hard to be cool; in my opinion, they've gone over-board with the currently all-so trendy "unfinished look": the walls are stripped barren, the cables are exposed and sitting on the upstairs gallery, you feel like you're in an attic or so. Granted, I like the unfnished look...but please keep it in moderation!

As for the food, my burger was really just alright; nothing special. And the skin-on chunky fries were bland and lacked some salt (sure, I could add that, but they were so deep-fried that the salt didn't stick to them properly). 

I was also a little annoyed by the selection of wines. You could choose between: good, better, great and best. I mean, it is already nice that they want to help me with my decision-making, but I find it all to trivial, that the good one is the cheapest and the best one is the most expensive! 

All in all, my expectations were not met and I have no desire to try out any other Byron locations in the near future.

Wow Byron... you're so... so... distressed. So urban-chic. So industrial-shab. If I hadn't watched workers slave away this time last year actually destroying the ins and outs of this building - exposing beams, sanding off just enough paint, breaking tiles and applying, then distressing the name "Byron" on the outside of the building I might have actually bought it... 

Instead I just bought a burger. A damn good burger. It involved spicy BBQ sauce, pepper jack cheese and was cooked to perfection. I've also recently indulged in a beetroot salad and an Oreo milkshake that literally blew my mind when it arrived in a milkshake cup with the extra on the side. 

So really Byron, your burgers, sides, salads and milkshakes bring the boys to the yard. Why are you spending time and money posing as anything but a great local burger joint?

Consistently had pretty decent experiences at this Byron - the service is good and quick, but they tend to forget things on your order. I asked for my burger plain, but still received it with lettuce in, so a little annoying.

Otherwise as far as Byron's go, this ones sizeable and in a convenient location

Solid burgers. The least expensive red wine seemed to pair reasonably well with the Byron burger. 

Slightly disappointed that they would not do a rare burger; not sure if that's a thing with local laws or restaurant policy. That said, I had a medium rare burger which was more rare than most medium rare burgers I've had at home in the US. 

The bacon is American-style bacon but for me, a little lacking flavor. 

These are minor issues. All in all, a good, solid burger option.

My favorite place for a burger in Islington. Mine involved bacon and spicy bbq sauce on a homemade bun. The meat was perfectly cooked, just a bit pink in the middle. I've been disappointed at one too many a burger joint in London, however Byron always comes through.

As for the ambiance, most of the Yelp reviews are spot on---this place is the epitome of industrial chic meets a construction site. The interior is purposely left incomplete---exposed rafters, lighting/wiring. When upper street was under construction late this winter, it was hard to tell where the street construction ended and Byron began! But now the sidewalks are nicely polished and construction free. There are 2 or so sidewalk tables you can snag to enjoy your burger outside.

If you're in the mood for a damn good burger, there really is no better place on Upper Street.

I'm going on a burger hunt, and this was a pretty good choice. I had been wanting to try Byron for years, and now that I went once I've actually been two other times since, at two other locations - each time I've been impressed!

The burger is great. I had their Byron burger twice, and it was delicious. I order mine medium rare and the second time at Covent Garden they definitely over-cooked it to medium, and friends who just took theirs medium said theirs was a bit overcooked as well. The Angel branch didn't have this problem. Either way both the Byrons were great, and everyone I was with really enjoyed theirs as well.

The third time I went was near Kensington and they had a special burger with crispy fried onions and barbecue sauce on top - I can't remember what it was called, but oh dear LORD was it good! I highly recommend it if you go and it's the special that day.

Oh and DEFINITELY get their fried courgettes. I forgo their chips for them every time and I never regret it. I also really like their beer selection, lots of American beers to choose from as well as a couple Brewdog choices, and a few others.

I like that each branch has their own atmosphere. It makes each restaurant feel unique even if the food is exactly the same. So far I probably do like Angel one the best for atmosphere, but I'm a bit of a hipster who likes that wood-dominated kinda run-down look. The Covent Garden one is a bit more posh looking though so probably good for a date night, and the Kensington branch is very white and modern. The service is always decent, never out of this world but never bad.

Is it the best burger in London? No, not really. But if it can make a score of Americans happy, then it's a good pick. Just make sure to order your burger cooked slightly less well than you normally like it and you should be happy!

I regularly go here because the location is very near the two really good cinema's. I do love the outisde seats in summer and the decor of stripped laid back feel. But can't feel it is very small. Too small inside and cramped.

That said the service whenever I have been has been excellent. Perfectly cooked burgers too. Go here to get my Byron Burger Club fix on Thursdays.

Great place and location on Upper Street. It is opposite the Business Design Centre, and is the latest branch of Bryon (replaces Hamburger Union on Upper Street). David, manager (centre of photos), mentioned that they are rolling out other branches across London - including Covent Garden.


 I was impressed by the way things were running, given that they had only been open for 3days. All staff very friendly and helpful, especially our waitress Adriana,the manager David and the chefs. Loved the stripped back, almost rustic, look; when you look down from first floor you can see to joists.


 Cheeseburger with Gruyere cheese was yummy and not greasy like some other burger joints (eg. Fine Burger Co.). Loved the Courgette Fries - they come hot with a nice crispy semolina batter coating. Oreo Cookie milkshake is amazing, and just right composition.


 Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and will be going back again.
