Honest Burgers

Bacon Gravy Bliss with Stunning Views

Tucked away in the charming clutches of St. Catherine's Dock, Honest Burgers presents as the sort of eatery where heaven meets ground beef—a place where weary travelers and discerning locals find a shared love for sublime patties sandwiched between doughy artistry. On my latest perambulation through the gilded spires of London, I perched briefly at this establishment, wholly sucked in by the siren call of its reputed "best burgers" around. With a view that actively competes with the aesthetic charm of the marina, Honest blends a rustic sensibility with modern flair—wood sweaters knitting cozily into modern stainless steel seats that prop up residents ready for calorific joy.

Their illustrious tribute burger suggests an almost transcendental approach to eating, as fragile layers of bacon-streaked dreamy matter engage in delicate warfare with the taste buds. The rosemary chips, imperiously triumphing over their own kind, sing an aria of flavor potent enough to rouse the sleepiest appetites. Halos and wings, however, flounder somewhat amid unforgivable delays in service—though the cheerfully responsive staff carry this shortcoming off with exceptional good grace. Rosemary seasoned errors and trifles nonetheless acquired a distinct charm entirely due to Honest’s readiness to cater to varying dietary litanies. Between meaty gestures of colorful adjectives from the well-worn menu to the aforementioned service quirks, Honest is indeed worth sidestepping to taste specificity imbued emblems of burger perfection amidst riverside views. — Penelope Savory
