Loved this place We had the hot wings as starter and asked for their XXX hot sauce - they tried to talk us out of it but as heat fans they didn't disappoint. Our burgers were great including one vegetarian who always moans that the vegetarian options are no good - if he didn't complain this place must be excellent.... More

This restaurant is the quirkiest restaurant you'll visit in the whole city, meaning it's a great place to be with friends or family. It is very welcoming, reasonably priced and the cleverly-themed menu offers a wide range of tasty food. To top it all off, the service is brilliant and the staff are very friendly as well! A must for... More

Walk in this place and you just know it's going to have good food. It's also good to experience a restaurant where the staff actually smile and enjoy working there! If you're even just a tiny bit geeky, you'll love it here

My partner & I have been regulars since Atomic Burger's very inception and we consider ourselves regulars - although probably not quite as fanatical as the local students! We are both children who grew up in the 1980s and there is always a part of you that never wants to grow up. From the kitsch white picket fence that looks... More

I took friends to Atomic Burger on the strength of the reviews online and endorsements from a few friends. I hoped it would rival my local US burger chain, Buddies, but sadly it was lacking. The exterior of the restaurant is a bit shabby. If I hadn't known it was a restaurant I would have assumed it was a takeaway... More

As a burgernista, i am fanatically passionate about my burgers, from the quality of the meat down to the freshness of the bun. After much research i was exteremely excited to venture to Atomic Burger one rainy Saturday afternoon, only to be left hugely disappointed. Now maybe it was my choice of burger, a 'Dead Elvis', was tasteless and bland,... More

This is a great place to have a meal with friends. The burgers are not particularly special, but the sci-fries are amazing. Bonus points for the geeky decor and creative naming of items on the menu. My only complaint about this place is that it can get very busy at dinner. On one occasion my group waited for nearly an... More

Atomic Burger is a place I keep coming back to. They do really good, indulgent burgers for £8-9 with good range of sides, Sci Fries - chilli & garlic fries - are pretty good! I'm always full after a meal there. The place has a fun, comic book style presentation. The service is fine. Usually quite busy during the weekend... More

Decor is great and atmosphere fun. The queue is often long but just shows how popular it is. For the price (around £9), the burgers are a bit dry, not very tasty and small. The combinations of add-ons are inventive and once you get a table, service is good.
