Reviews Black Bear Burger - Brixton

We had brisket spring rolls, chicken nuggets, chips, burgers. Everyone knows the Black Bear burgers are some of the best in the London, but what really surprised me me was how delicious the sides were! All the food was super impressive here. The vibe in here is also really good and the staff friendly and helpful. Drinks are good too! Edit: I revisited last night and unfortunately our experience was significantly worse. All of our food came out cold and the service was really inattentive. Took me about 10 minutes trying to a waitresses attention. Music was also too loud. Therefore unfortunately is losing a star. The food is still great though.

Definitely my new favourite burger place in London! I absolutely love their burgers in terms the quality of the meat and how it’s cooked. I always share fries and chicken nuggets with my friends when we go there and the portions are just right. And they serve icecream at the end which is really cute. Would 100% recommend.

Marlon is a fantastic guy! He has served me both times I have been. Very friendly, informative and helpful!! Great staff member to have :)

I left black burger as a very happy customer who's belly was very fully And I can definitely say I'm going back again I liked the service I received and the food was really good also. The burger was cooked really well and the fries too as it's my first time trying it I had to double up on the burger. If your feeling to have some naughty food I would highly recommend trying this place out. The rum punch drink was really nice also just would have been nicer if they came in bigger glasses

Alright hear me now, after the long wait I finally made my appearance at the hyped black bear burger, said to have the BEST burgers in London. The last time I heard a restaurant had the best something in London, I was unfortunately disappointed. Nonetheless, I wished this time there would be a glimmer of hope and that it would be different. The service was amazing; a really friendly vibe to the place which took the culinary experience to another level. It was nice and cool in the restaurant, with plenty of seating for a hot summers day. They had a very efficient payment system which made it very easy to leave whenever you wanted which was good. They even blessed us with free ice cream at the end. In my opinion, I can’t honestly say I had the best burger in London—though in all fairness it’s going to take something really special for me to even consider calling anything the best in London. They had a very efficient payment system which made it very easy to pay and then leave when you want which was good. They even blessed us with free ice cream at the end. The whole meal came up to £27. Fries These skin-on fries were pretty decent; good potato content and fluffy, too. They were as crispy as I expected but were definitely lacking some salt. There was a Five Guys-ness to them though not to the same level. Overall, they didn’t feel like an inconvenience to eat which is definitely a positive. 6.5/10 Chicken nuggets The highly praised nuggets were something I believed to be quite unique—especially when it comes to a restaurant like this—and the way they were made was quite different in itself. They were very well seasoned, the coating was crispy, and the chicken breast was cooked really well. The nuggets were accompanied with their blue cheese and buffalo sauce, which I wasn’t really a fan of. For a total of £7 they do give you a considerable amount of them—especially given that they’re only a side. I was a bit unsure about the seasoning of the nuggets, but ultimately, I enjoyed them. 6.7/10 Miso bacon burger It’s time for the main event: the burger. Now although the Miso bacon burger wasn’t their signature one, I had read the description and was more intrigued to try it. It was £12 for a single burger, but if you have the money for it I would advise you to double up. The patty was incredibly juicy, the sauce inside was very nice, and the onions were a great touch. The seeded bun was a good move for the sturdiness of it all, especially in the top one. The bottom bun, however, wasn’t a match for the miso sauce; it left it slightly soggy—though that wasn’t enough to detract from the positives of the burger. I believe it could have been improved with some fresh iceberg lettuce, but I did enjoy it. 7.4/10 Overall culinary experience: 8/10 For more food reviews check my insta: sjtalks_

Firmly believe this is the best burger in London, and every time I visit this is reconfirmed. I am always order the classic black bear burger which is cooked to your preference - the beef is soft, the bacon crispy and overall just a very balanced flavoursome burger. I’d normally avoid brisket but the brisket spring rolls and delightful and the steakhouse fries with the habanero honey mayo are incredible, not spicy but great taste. The complimentary soft serve is quite literally the icing on top. A must visit!

Came here yesterday evening for dinner after seeing great things online about it and wasn’t disappointed. We both ordered the ‘Black Bear’ burger which was incredibly nice tasting. The beef was juicy and flavoursome and the whole burger was put together so well. I ordered the brisket spring rolls for my side which were quite quirky! Very rich in flavour, by the end of the burger I struggled to finish them but I did. My partner ordered the chips which were done really well too. I had some fresh pickles with my spring rolls and we both put them into our burger too which made it just that bit better. The complimentary ice cream with the bill was a sweet touch! Only downsides is it’s a very small restaurant so there’s no space to really put your coat/belongings other than the benches, or the floor if people are sitting by you. And they didn’t have a toilet. So there’s nowhere to wash your hands before you eat, unless you wanna use the public toilets outside. Which are nasty haha.

We went for the Thursday night steak night. We had rump steak and sirloin steak , both were so delicious. We had our dinner for free from the team that day, and we really appreciated their kind offer. Staff and food are both amazing, I would recommend giving their Brixton branch a visit. Don’t forget to order their chimichuri potatoes with parmesans, I think they are also one of their Thursday special.

I had to put the burger down after one bite and unscrew my face. Haven't had a burger this nice in years. Ear genuinely thinking about the next time I'm in Brixton so I can come back. I had the Black Burger (medium rare) and it was perfection. Bacon wasn't salty or undercooked/overcooked. It was great. So good I'm reviewing before I've even left 😄
