Very good. Nice strong flavour with plenty of fat in them adding to the flavour and keeping them juicy. They weren't the main meat of the meal, I just wanted to see what they tasted like so I didn't have them as a burger, but with a nice brioche bun and toppings I'm sure they would have been great. Their basic Black Label burgers are really good, so it would be interesting to compare and see if the Wagyu is worth the extra £.
The main meat was a piece of T&G beef fillet, which I sliced into 250g chunks, seasoned and then BBQ'd, and then ate 2 of them
. So soft and beautiful, I may have to get more for this weekend.

Went to Bryon's on Friday, the one in Hoxton.
Just their signature Byron burger with their own brand beer.
First thing that is immediate, it's not hot, the patty is warm, it's like they plated it and not served for about 5mins. Taste wise it's okay, better than a whopper but not my favourite. The gherkin is also not cruncy enough. Fries is standard Maccy D type, nothing to shout home about. The bacon also was the biggest flavour in the burger too. It overwhelmed the beef and basically all I can taste is the bacon.
The burger gets 7.5/10. Would be 8/10 if it was hot off the grill.

Don't get your hopes up, there are many better burger places out there. My favourite place so far in the UK is still Five Bones in Southampton. Second happens to be my local one, luckily for me.

Anyone been to fergburger in QT, NZ?
Their burgers are epic
My manager keeps going on about these!
It is more the novelty of having somewhere different in Milton Keynes. We've had GBK for ages and Byron opened a year or so ago.
Everything else is the chains; there must be about 5 or 6 Nandos and Pizza Express. A bunch of Bella Italia, Frankie & Benny's, two TGIs, two Giraffes. Its nonsense.
Such a shame that in the centre only big chains can survive because of whatever they charge in rent.

imo no outside eatery comes close to the quality and value for money of ordering minced forerib (keep the fat in) from your local butcher for the ultimate burger....eaten on day of mincing).
Needs a generous helping of salt n pepper and herbs (tyme / parsely ) and a very hot griddle pan or charcoal bbq (gas bbq probably wont be hot enough). But other than that you can experiment wildly .....its difficult to go wrong.
if you havent tried making your own...your missing out (in taste and bank balance)...

Patty & Bun continually disappoint me with their burgers. Their wings are good mind.

Went to Patty & Bun with Mr Feek last week for a Smokey Robinson and some of their great chips before a BBC recording session.
Still one of my favourite places to go eat. The food in Meatliquor is also great, I'm just not a fan of the building. Both are pretty handy for the BBC though. Along with a Byron even closer.

were going to byron on saturday as part of my mates stag do in soho, hope it's good. that said, we'll be slaughtered by that time after the comedy cafe so i probably won't notice.
Are In-N-Out Burgers as good as they look?
As far as I am aware there is no plans to bring to the UK
They're about as good as a fast food burger gets. Nothing comes close to them for the price and it's always my first place to go when I get off the plane in Vegas.

its ok, fairly mainstream burgers imo but decent ones at that. Its no P&B but then its miles ahead of BK etc.
Have fun
