We tried a popular Bristol restaurant's new Cribbs Causeway site and were in burger heaven
If you want a good burger, Honest Burgers is the place to go in Bristol.
With sites already in the Old City and Cabot Circus, the newest location makes a trip to The Mall, Cribbs Causeway worthwhile.
Among the first customers on opening day, the new restaurant was pretty full during its first evening, which shows the brand’s popularity.
After taking our seats, we had a look at the menu and were immediately in burger heaven when deciding what to eat. Beef, chicken and vegetarian/vegan options are all on the menu.
We went for the beef-based smashed burger (£12.50) - double smashed, American cheese, pickles, white onion, brown and mustard mayo.
Served with chips, it was such a juicy burger with every bite oozing we flavour.
To get a taste of the chicken, we also ordered the pesto chicken burger (£13.95; grilled chicken breast, basil pesto, brown butter mustard mayo, tomato and rocket).
The pesto was simply perfect, but I do wish I had some more chicken in my burger and the salad was just a tad too wet for my liking.
To drink, we ordered a jug of lemonade for £9.50, which was the ideal way to wash down all the delights on our plates.
As for sides, we ordered a small portion of buffalo wings (£4.95), which came out before the burgers and were a great way to kickstart our appetite.
And I also ordered the bacon gravy (£2.75) as a side, which, though nice for dipping my chips in, wasn’t a particularly pleasant flavour I found.
So despite a few preference issues, I was really impressed with the quality of Honest Burgers and I’ll definitely be back in there when next up The Mall to try some more of their tasty burgers.
