Good service, the drinks were good and the nibbles were nice. Probably the 3rd best burger place on that street.

Although it's not an extremely popular place, all burgers in this place are quite nice. The stuff is young and cheerful. We go there quite frequently. Only one time, one of the staff was kind of rude. He was trying to convince us to leave asap in order to organize the table to newcomers. To be honest, I didn't see this guy in the restaurant again. Anyway, if we ignore this one off experience, it's obviously a very nice restaurant in the middle of central London.

A nice burger place, with a relatively good value for money. The milkshakes are very nice too! Lots of variety on the menu, and friendly staff. Will visit again!

Good area and a nice quick lunch. Staff were friendly and food was good, although a little under seasoned. Would recommend for a quick lunch rather than a place to impress. Good range of drinks.

Went in for lunch with some collegues and really like the place. The ambiance is nice with a slight American diner influence on the interiors. The menu is quite good and as by the name they are a place to order burgers and shakes.<br/>Ordered the korean BBQ chicken wings for appetizer which was good. I ordered the green chilli popper burger which was good but extremely spicy. I underestimated the name. Have tried the rodeo burger and sloppy Joe, they are pretty good. Had the caramel shake which was awesome. Service is prompt and attentive. Portion sizes were good and pricing is quite reasonable.<br/><br/>Ambiance - 4/5<br/>Service - 3.5/5<br/>Product Quality/Presentation - 4/5<br/>Taste - 4/5<br/>Portion Size - 4/5<br/>Value for money - 4/5

I didn't know this was owned by Giraffe when I was there! I was surprised that I could choose the type of patty I wanted and that turkey was included on the menu. I had a turkey burger with bbq sauce and bacon. It was as juicy as a turkey burger could be expected to be, but very tasty. I also had a peanut butter milkshake which was not nearly as nice as some others I've had but I suppose I like my milkshakes American style- thick as opposed to milky. I like that they play the music as loud as they like and I love the house rules at the back of the menu. Hilarious!

Nice quiet lunch at Burgers and Cocktails. Located perfectly; slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford street. The staff straight up is very welcoming and the service is fast. I had the chilli beef dog and a couple of cocktails. The hotdog was really sumptuous. The meat was succulent and the flavours were well balanced. I ordered the Moscow mule and LIIT. The Moscow mule was average but the LIIT was spot on.

First i like the decor, vibrant & colorful with an old school dinner feel. Tried a couple of burgers: the simply burger was quite good, nice thick juicy patty cooked just right. The Korean burger was my favorite, again great patty with kimchi slaw and condiments; a great twist to a tasty burger. Burger fans, be sure to try this place.

A cool twist on the normal giraffe restaurant. the milkshakes are to die for as are the sweet potato fries. the decor and atmosphere boasts retro chic and the uniforms are vintage and fun. quite loud though so maybe not for a quiet romantic meal! the staff are informal and friendly and the prices are reasonable for a central london location! highly recommended!

For all the vegetarians in search of good food while shopping at Oxford street , this is your place ! The ambience makes you feel as if you re in a shack having cocktails near a beach. I tried two different types of falafel burgers there and I absolutely loved them both . Service was okay. Cost for two 30 -40 pounds . I ll certainly go there again ! Let me know how you find it .

Great place for burgers. Loved the appetizers but my only concern was that the food took way too long.<br/>The place is big and it holds a lot of people.

We ordered the beef chilli dog, sweet potato fries and a side of mac n cheese. The beef chilli dog was amazing, really messy, when we cut it in half it basically exploded, you def cant eat it with your hands but it was yummy. The sweet potato fries and mac n cheese were good too.

Following some after work drinks a few of us decided to get to Marylebone and get some dinner. While walking along and with huge crowds everywhere we spotted Burgers and Cocktails. Only a 10 minute wait and we were seated.<br/><br/>I went with the Cheese and Bacon Burger (beef patty w/ dry-cured bacon, fondue raclette ceese, special sauce, smoky relish, lettuce and pickles). I also got some fries too.<br/><br/>First I'll quickly sum up the cocktails. Delicious. Good size and from those I tried (listed below), they were all really good.<br/><br/>- Strawberry, Lime and Passion Fruit Daiquiri<br/>- Mojito<br/>- Espresso Martini<br/><br/>Now to the main event. The burgers ingredients are really quite good. Pickles were crunchy, the lettuce fresh, real bacon which was a surprise being in London, the cheese was delicious and the meat looked good. The only problem and it dragged my rating down so much was how the patty was cooked.<br/><br/>Way too well done that it was actually tough. It was a bouncy piece of meat once it was cooked and it was just really disappointing. I ate the whole thing still, but it was just a let down to have so much good food there and the most important part was just cooked too much.<br/><br/>Unfortunately I probably won't be back but I do thank them for the friendly staff and the beautiful drinks.

Not my favourite burgers in London, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The sweet potato fries are the best thing on the menu, and there's a tonne of dangerous American desserts to choose from. Like other reviewers, I found the place a little too garish and loud, but it's perfect if you're with kids or teens.

I'm a BIG burguer fan and I have tried lots of burguer places (granted, this was my first in London). <br/>Having said that, I enjoyed the american burguer I had at this place.<br/>Sure, it wasn't the best burguer I ever had. But it was a mouth full of happiness nonetheless...<br/>The sweet potato fries were very good and so was the lemonade I had for drink.<br/><br/>The service was extremely nice and welcoming and the waiting time was ok.<br/>The place was pratically empty when I got there so I think they could've been a bit more fast but it wasn't like going to the doctor or something.<br/><br/>If you're hungry and just want to relax this is a good place to go.

The food here isn't mind blowing but it's good. I came here with a bunch of family including kids, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. Would definitely come back if I needed a kid-friendly restaurant.

Very bright and spacious place area. The setting is not bad and the staff was nice. However, not the best burger I have ever had and so nothing special here. You are better off trying something else especially because it in Marylebone. There is nothing I would return there to have and so I do not really recommend it. I will say the drinks were pretty on point but not good enough to be a reason I return.

This restaurant is very nice, spacious and there's no waiting for seats or for food. The staff is very attentive and friendly but I have to say I was disappointed with the burger. It was not the juicy burger I expected but more on the dry side and nothing exciting about it. <br/>So either I had a bad day or they just don't reach the London burger standards.

Came here 30th September. Literally had burgers and cocktails. Whilst the service was good the burgers were quite average. The cocktails were really nice. I wouldn't recommend to foodies but the average burger eater or Giraffe customer may enjoy it.

The setting in this place is nice, very modern and typical for an American joint. The staff were also very friendly, I've never had to wait for a table and they are always very friendly throughout. The food however is very mediocre, for a place that is known for their burgers, even has it for its title, they are really not very impressive. I ordered the Rodeo Burger, the onion rings were tiny and barely added flavour to the burger. The meat was pretty thin and really lacking in flavour. The bun was just ok. Nothing about this burger excited me at all. It was filling, and considering I was craving a burger more than anything, it sufficed for my craving at the time, but definitely not a place I'm looking to back back to ever. <br/>However, the value is decent, but for the quality I don't think I would eat another burger even if it were free. Not great food, don't recommend this place. Especially having Patty & Bun right in front, which is delicious.

Again a really good burger place to go to for a cool and different burger! The cool thing with this place is that their burgers are very original ones. Such as the Mac-Mountaine or the Biermeister Burgers! Which are both extremely good! Their sweet potato fries are also amazing! Definitely recommend this place!

This place is known for its burgers , which were quite good , with appropriate size and price . The service of the place is good , quick service and friendly staff . But the best part about this place is to come for a hard shake at a girls night out ! The double stuffed hard shake with Oreo is possibly the best hard shake ever.

Walking along the vibrant and busy St. Christopher's place looking for somewhere to go for dinner my friends and I were overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of choice and averted by long queues  we eventually stumbled across this place.Upon entry the lively and vibrant atmosphere immediately took us in. It was somewhat reminiscent of burger joints I’ve visited in America especially the music.<br/>Seeing as the name of this establishment is burgers cocktails we ordered exactly that; three different burgers and a round of mojitos. The three of us opted for each of the different patties available turkey, beef and chicken. My two friends went for the rodeo burger, which came with bacon, onion rings, bbq sauce and salsa. I opted for the LA burger, which came with cottage cheese, avocado, coleslaw and salsa. <br/>I enjoyed my food and so did my friend who opted for the beef patty however, Mr turkey was not quite as enthused which of course suggests that the turkey patty was inferior to the beef and chicken. However, I've never tried the turkey even in subsequent visits, my friend's dissatisfaction during that first experience has put me off ever doing so. Fortunately we all enjoyed our side of sweet potato fries and our crunch shrimp starter.  <br/>The serving staff we're friendly and more than happy to keep the drinks coming. Overall, this place is about the overall package the ambience combined with the food is what makes the experience. It’s especially suited for those who are looking to have a good time in a lively and interactive atmosphere. Be friendly with the serving staff and tip generously as that generosity is often reciprocated in the form of a free desert or starter.

Excellent value for money! Very friendly and attentive staff. <br/>Food was good, a good size (not too big not too small), a wide range of burgers from the menu and the flavour combinations worked well. <br/>All in all, a good bang for buck eatery.

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this restaurant after seeing the queue for Patty and Bun across the road. <br/><br/>It was a Saturday night so we expected places to be quite busy, however we got a table straight away. <br/><br/>We hadn't heard much about it but the menu seemed interesting so we thought we'd give it a go and glad we did! <br/><br/>We shared a a starter of Mozzarella and Focaccia "chips" - pretty much mozzarella dippers with a great twist of some focaccia as well. It was a lovely starter so we were excited about the burgers! <br/><br/>I ordered a medium-rare cheeseburger which was done exactly to my taste. My boyfriend opted for the medium-rare Mac-Mountain" which included a mac and cheese wheel in it and he loved every bite. Again, the burger was done exactly to his taste and I'd probably go for the same burger next time we visit after having a bite of his! We both shared a small portion of both sweet potato fries and crinkle fries, both of which were lovely. <br/><br/>Our bill came to £30 which we were pleased with after being pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. <br/><br/>Service was fast, friendly and staff were attentive and polite. We will definitely be back.

Burgers and cocktails is of the many speciality burger joints which have off late gained popularity. What it does have going for itself is the location. The area is always buzzing with activity and full of people. And inside the restaurant there is nice music and a cool atmosphere as well. The food sadly though is a bit disappointing. The turkey burgers tasted a bit too rubbery giving away that they were sitting in a freezer not so long ago. And the beef burgers although were supposed to be medium, but there was hardly any pink left inside. The cocktails are ok, and if only they could up the standard of the burgers this can be a great place to go to.

These burger patties wouldn't have been out of place in a NHL game. This burger consisted of two rock solid, dry pucks of over-cooked beef leading to my first meat fail for a long time...

I was surprised how inexpensive it was, and went for a rodeo burger and sweet potato fries with the strawberry & lime daiquari I was drinking.
