Burger & Lobster

Went here as a group of 3 with my boss who is an extremely huge fan of lobster. My review is completely based on the burger (allergic to shell fish), so unfortunately, couldn’t really enjoy the lobster.
Having said that, the reason for 2 stars is. in New York, typically, you’d be charged $ 15 for a decent burger; imagine paying £20 for a burger! It’s almost $ 30. And at $ 30, you don’t really get that great of a burger either! In fact, I wasn’t even offered the option to order sweet potato fries :-(.
Not too happy with the prices; but ambiance-​wise, a British attempt at chain restaurants. just about alright; nothing great about it!

This menu serves four things:
1. Lobster roll
2. Steamed lobster
3. Grilled lobster
4. Burger
Hence. the name.
The lobster is not Maine. I liked it. but I didn’t love it (I used to live in Boston). The shell is hard… why are all the best things in the USA? :) Just kidding.
Anyways, it was a fun place. big and spacious. It’s a new location from what I understand. They do not serve warm vegetables but only chips (which is fries) and salad. I think they overdress the salad a bit.
Service is crap. it’s London. I could barely understand the hostess or waiter. But hey. you do not tip in England so no big deal.
And I don’t get how London does this. but so not equipped for the handicapped. The bathroom is at the bottom of the stairs. no elevator.

I had a LOT of niggles with this place…
First off, they don’t publish any menus or prices. Not online, not on their door — and they don’t even have them at the table. It’s only after you have got a table and ordered drinks that they sting you with the information:
1. There are only 3 things on the menu.
2. Everything costs £20.
So, the choice is between a burger, a lobster roll or just lobster. They only serve fries and salad as a side, and there’s very little wiggle room in those.
I don’t eat bread or white potatoes, so I had a burger wrapped in lettuce, with two portions of lettuce on the side. I don’t even like lettuce that much!
My burger was ok — nowhere near £20 worth, and definitely very well done rather than my requested medium.
The coffees were ok…
The loos are about 6 miles away down probably around 14 flights and at one point you need to use mountaineering equipment as the stairs are so steep and windy. The door on my cubicle didn’t lock, but I wasn’t worried — most people either gave up or died on the way there…
No, I wouldn’t return — I can have a better overpriced burger in many other places.

Just burger or lobster, no menu, not a lot of choice, no problem!
In the middle of The City in a great old building that probably used to be a bank this is the newest branch Burger & Lobster in London. The huge space is nicely redesigned and now has a mezzanine level and a large bar in the middle.
The lobster is great, either grilled or steamed and very affordable and the burger is a good one although maybe a bit pricey for a burger?
We were with 6 and only got 1 cracker which we had to pass around, I would suggest to give each Lobster eating guest his own?
Great place and you can easily go with a (small) group.
