Imogen McGuigan reviewed Black Bear Burger Restaurant Shoreditch
Can. Not. Speak highly enough about Black Bear burger. My partner and I first discovered them a couple of years ago on a date night at box park. We'd had a couple of beers and fancied a burger that tasted half as good as the aroma coming from black bear smelled. We met Stew and Katie who were so lovely and spent a good 10 minutes having a natter while we did a couple of ski shots... may have been Canadian club with maple syrup? Absolutely delicious. Well, we thought it might have been the booze that made it so so tasty but how wrong we were.. we've Been back 4 or 5 times and been served by other staff members and every time we've enjoyed that same consistent burger, as high quality as the last. We always mix it up a bit, a brisket burger or the beef shim nuggets (to die for) but you cannot beat the classic so when lockdown came around and we had to take our date night's at home, I was delighted to see BBB were offering DIY kits and they didn't disappoint. I can guarantee you will not find a better burger in London. Bleecker is a close second but why settle for second? Love love loved it, see you next time when we hope to visit the Brixton restaurant x

Revised rating from 3 to 4 stars:
Visited again after a long while and found the experience had improved.
The Special of the day was Feta burger with grilled vegetables, and was delicious. Nachos taken to share were tasty and tangy, everything home made.
Staff was very helpful and genuinely nice, attentive but not overbearing.

The experience in this restaurant was bad. To be fully honest the quality of the food was not that bad compared to other all you can eat restaurant (lot of rice in the plate, but still acceptable) , but the service is incredibly slow. We were here with other collegue and it took like 20 min to have the first plate, which was small because of the quantity limitation per order. Then we were told that it was necessary to finish the plate to make a new order (can be comprehensible when there is no limit on the first order, or the service is quick but here...), and then we waited 20 other minutes for the 2nd services, and it was 13h40 (we arrived at 12h15 and the restaurant was quite empty). So in conclusion, we ate less in a all you can eat restaurant in 1h and half, than in a classic restaurant in 30min... I don't recommand it
