Quick info
About Heard. Burger Borough
Heard. Burger Borough is a hamburger restaurant at 1 Flat Iron Square in London, from two-starred Michelin chef Jordan Bailey. The menu centres on smashed beef burgers, loaded fries and shakes. The Smoke Stack burger comes with house fries, nacho cheese foam and chopped pickles, and the Truffle Burger comes with extra truffle sauce on the side. The fries are fresh, not frozen, and onion petals are among the sides. Low intervention wines and locally brewed beers are paired with the burgers, including an XPA with mango and passion fruit notes, so the drinks list follows the same approach as the kitchen. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the Smoke Stack burger, praised for tasty meat, sauce and pickles and served with house fries and nacho cheese foam. The Truffle Burger comes close behind, including one order with an extra patty and extra truffle sauce, while others mention the Heard Burger, smoky and meaty beef, and Cheesy Fries. Fries are described as fresh rather than frozen, and a chocolate and pretzel milkshake and a mango and passion fruit XPA each get a mention. Service is repeatedly called quick and friendly, and a couple of reviewers call the prices reasonable for the quality. The caveat comes from two reviewers who found it a good burger but not distinctive given the Michelin-starred chef behind it. One said it did not justify the hype, and another would not go out of their way for it. One also wanted a burger and sides menu. Another reviewer recalls the man behind the bar filling a water bottle with ice and lemon.

“It's absolutely amazing! The Burger is really, really good ! I had the Smoke Stack, and it was absolutely amazing ! Meat was tasty, sauce was tasty, pickles were tasty... It was perfection ! Fries, fresh ones, not frozen, tasted amazing ! Service is impeccable, the price is really decent for the quality of it all, even though a Menu with Burger + Sides would be deeply appreciated. Please don't ignore it, go ! it's totally worth it !”

“I visited this restaurant yesterday and I had a fantastic experience. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Service was fast and professional. Burgers were delicious and full of flavor. I could also see that the kitchen was clean and the chefs were smiling and friendly, which made a great impression. You could feel the positive atmosphere throughout the restaurant. It was clear that everyone enjoyed working together, and that made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will be happy to come back!”
