Try the bronx chicken burger, possibly the best thing I have ever eaten. This was my 4th visit, just book early to make sure there are tables available.

We had a brilliant time at Milk Bun. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and I haven’t experienced such good service in a long time. It was my Dad’s Birthday and they made him feel special with some gestures and were very friendly.

The restaurant and staff were lovley, gorgeous house rose & good service from our waitress, we did receive money off the wine which we appreciated as she said sorry for the food taking so long, unfortunately after the food taking so long, the chips were boiling which was great but both our burgers were cold. After waiting an hour we felt we didn’t want to ask for another to be made, so a bit disappointed and probably won’t be back :( this is only due to burgers being cold but obviously this is the main reason you’re coming :’)

As soon as I walked into Milk Bun Bristol, I felt good. Stylish décor, fabulous service - thanks Josh! Without doubt the best burger I've ever had (Sloppy Jose). You could tell that it had been made with love, dedication and care. Delicious cocktails and refreshing Pilsner. I mean CRIKEY!!! We shall be back....

Top scran. Waitresses were friendly and efficient, food was absolutely belting. Only gripe was that it took a while to come out, but it was well worth the wait. Best burg. Puts the Krusty Krab to shame.

Quite possibly the best burgers my family and I have ever had. The taste was just fantastic, think it was the combination of all the elements, including their seeded buns that made it so! Lovely service and a really nice location / interior.

Great food, especially the Triad burger (probably the best chicken burger I’ve personally had). Just took a while for the food to come out which was a shame but the Triad and bronx fries was worth waiting for.

Delicious gourmet dirty burgers! The home made buns were incredible. That Pablo was *chefs kiss*. And the dirty fries were dangerously cheesy... Irresistible. Special shout-out to the buffalo chicken wings, simply incredible. But I think there was meant to be blue cheese sauce with it... But they were so delicious we didn't actually realise until after we had scoffed then down! Thank you so much to the great front of house staff (evening Saturday 21st Oct). They were super friendly and welcoming! We managed to somehow turn up an hour early for our table, but they helped get us seated after only a short wait!

Had the table by the entrance which was supposed to be for 5 but we had 2 last minute cancellations and were 3. I cannot imagine how we squizzed we would have be if 5 of us were there as the space was small and chairs bit odd. We got the nachos for starters (special) but quality was poor. They were soggy and almost no taste as even the sour sauce and tomatoes there were hot and no freshness whatsoever. Burgers took almost 30 mins to bring them over (for three people) and the taste wasn’t there either. Got two beef ones and a vegan patty with fries. Bronx fries was bit too much but the regular ones were fine. The buns though were really tasty!

Interesting twists on classic burgers. Sides well sized. Decent selection of drinks. Why can’t they give you a bigger plate however, the tiny saucer was barely big enough for the burger let alone the sides.

Milk Bun in Bristol is one of the best burger joints I've ever tried with my friends. I made a quick visit to Bristol over the weekend, and this place came highly recommended and I'm glad we went there! We didn't exactly start off on the right foot, as I was running a bit late. But I called them to let them know, and they were so accommodating. When my friends arrived even later, the staff, Emily, Liam, and Lauren, were incredibly cooperative and didn't show a hint of frustration. They were super polite and checked in on us to make sure we were having a great time, despite how busy the place was at that moment. We went for the Bronx and El Chapo, and they were absolute showstoppers. We also ordered Bronx fries and regular fries too, and both were great too, especially the Bronx fries. I won't sugarcoat it; MilkBun is a bit pricey, but high quality is guaranteed. I definitely recommend it

Would not recommend. Visited following seeing numerous videos raving about the restaurant, and was honestly disappointed! We had four different burgers, and the meat was very bland in all of them. Thanks to the extras, the burger wasn't a complete disaster. However, we paid £7.50 for a side of chicken strips. These were the smallest five pieces of chicken I have ever purchased. Would be better advertised as chicken nuggets. The Bronx fries... the main reason we came! We couldn't wait to try them. Utterly tasteless. The toppings didn't add anything. Should have opted for the cheaper standard fries version and enjoyed a crispy chip instead! The booking asked whether it was a special occasion. It was! I noted 30th birthday on the booking but there was no acknowledgement of this. Why ask if its not taken notice of? Pretty much ignored by staff and it takes a long time to get a bottle of tap water. What was the 10% service charge added to bill automatically for?! Wish this was removed and optional.
