Handmade Burger Co - Southampton

Undoubtedly, this is the top spot for burgers. It can get a bit expensive since you pay for the burger and sides separately, so you're looking at around 12-15 pounds per person.

I ordered the peppercorn burger with a side of chips/fries.

I am only giving this place 3 stars because I believe there are better burger options elsewhere and the service from the staff was not excellent.

We had a fresh burger at the diner, and the staff were excellent. They greeted us warmly upon our arrival and provided us with a brief overview of how the restaurant operates. One great feature is that they allow customization of the burgers, such as changing sauces, at no extra charge. The space was not very crowded, so we only had to wait a few minutes.

Dining here was an incredible experience. A group of five of us went, and the service was impressively fast. The ordering process was straightforward, and the portions were generous. The chips were large and deliciously double-dipped, which I really enjoyed. However, I did find the presentation of the milkshakes a bit disappointing. The Oreo shake came in a large metal cup, but it didn’t have much to offer visually—it felt like it was only about a fifth full. Next time I visit, I think I’ll opt for the refillable drink instead, as it's much more economical. Overall, this place has a vibe that feels like a blend of an American burger joint and a Nando's, and it was amazing!
