About this restaurant

Good for groups
Lively
Hot spot

Almost Famous burgers were born from a need for a super juicy dripping down your arms no nonsense burger – 100% prime cuts of beef, pillowy soft charred bun, melty cheese and creamy tangy sauces. We smash all these elements together to create the burgers we’ve been known for since day one.

For larger bookings (8+), please email us on gn@almostfamousburgers.com.

I wanted to take my daughters and what a brilliant opportunity when my eldest secured her dream job - we headed down on Sunday for half priced burgers and the food was beyond amazing - it was so busy and they were turning people away - I assume who hadn’t booked - loved every minute. I was so sad to read that they closed the day after we went and I remember when they first opened it was so sad - I hope by some miracle they rise again like the phoenix - good luck to all affected by the closure x take care

Absolutely brilliant visit to Almost Famous on Sunday. I’d not been in for 18 mths and won’t leave it as long next time. We got 50% off our burgers on this visit but even so the full prices are worth it for the food! We will be back!

The food, drinks and service were great, only let down was being seated between 2 other couples in very close quarters when there was plenty of seating elsewhere in a mostly empty restaurant - our booking was for 5pm so before the tea time rush, and we had booked over a week in advance. Definitely would’ve enjoyed the experience more if we had slightly more privacy and less noise interference from the other diners

Staff were great attentive and friendly. Food was ok. I didn’t appreciate the choice of music at 2pm with plenty of children there. Music with lots of violence, swearing and racism. Also seated by the back door which was constantly left open making it very cold.

The food was lovely, the only thing that made it a very odd experience is that, when we asked for cutlery, the waiter brought over 3 cardboard forks and one metal knife, and told us we would have to share it??? Bit weird that he couldn't just bring over 2 more knives. It wasn't THAT busy. Why did we have to share the communal knife around to eat?? 😂😂

Ordered kids in America burger and awesome HQ and shared phoenix fries and 6 hot 🥵 sauce wings. Burgers were amazing and the chips were much better than expected as they had a maple glaze on them but it didn’t taste sweet , they were amazing ! Staff were very helpful especially Emily who went through all options as we hadn’t been before 👍👍. Food was enough for two and very filling , chips easily enough to share. definitely worth a visit 🍔 🍔👍
