The best burger joint in Norwich. Had the festive special and it was incredible. Dined here many times and the standard of service, food and setting is unbelievably good. Unbelievable consistency of being amazing every time I have been.

The Best Burger I've Ever Had -- so good I cycled 80 miles just to eat it again. I've eaten a lot of burgers, but this one takes the crown. Hands down the best burger I've ever had. The staff were Incredibly friendly. They made the whole experience even better with genuine hospitality and great service. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly, highly recommended.

Quite simply, the best burger joint in Norwich. Down a quiet road in Norwich, from the outside you might mistake micawbers for being ‘just a pub’ - And how wrong you would be ! Inside you are treated to what hospitality should be - Flawless food, friendly and attentive staff and a great atmosphere, these guys know what they are doing and they deserve the hype and stir they are causing. The food here is plentiful and great value - Quality ingredients, cooked by chefs that actually care about the menu; I have been several times and more than once, I have seen the team talking and creating the next thing for the menu - For someone that loves food, this is the burger holy grail a passionate group of chefs and staff pushing the boundaries and offering something new - I’m always excited to see what’s next on the menu......They never disappoint. The positive reviews about the food are warranted - But it is worth mentioning here, that it is not just the food that is amazing, all the staff here care about customer experience - This is not a chain restaurant, this is an independent that care about the dining experience for all customers. If you haven’t been, go. If you were in any doubt, don’t be.....Amazing food, amazing staff and we will be back time and time again !

Really great burger and wings restaraunt thats slightly off the usual paths of Norwich. One of the best places for Burgers and Wings in town - i put it personally in my top 4. Nice atmosphere and character and the food was really goos for a reasonable price. Book ahead as it does get quite busy.

Visited on 24/05/25 and it’s definitely worth the hype! Our server (Tom) was very patient and kind, which we couldn’t be more than thankful for. The fries were delicious and so were the burgers! (We had the ‘Almost Hunters’ and ‘Micky B’s’) We will definitely be returning Also, they play some banging tunes.

First time visiting on Good Friday, nothing to fault food, service and atmosphere all brilliant- catered for my hubby and just having a plain burger! And the coke was lovely too (reminded me of theme park coke, so I felt like I was on holiday!) It was genuinely delicious and fab throughout- it’s a must try. We’ll be back! Thank you for such a wonderful meal. @norfolkmumtravels

I'd been looking to come here for a while as I love this kind of food, and I'd also see the good reviews. In short, it was AMAZING and I defo recommend it. Great service from Gonza. You're a credit to Bun X, as are the chefs, as the food was so tasty. I booked a table in advance for a Sunday - it's a good job I did as it was busy. My friend and I had the sharing platter. There was low music in the background, and it had a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! Well done to everyone.
Taster par excellence Yum yum

Had the Korean burger, the Korean loaded fries and cheese doughnuts. The food was flavoursome now the nit picking bun it fell apart. Other than that, it was very tasty fries were ok but imo they needed to be crispier, just my preference. Also, I didn't ask, but perhaps they do small pots of sauce to dunk the doughnuts in. If not, they should again don't take this as a bad review. I enjoyed the flavours
