7Bone Burger Co. Portsmouth — Restaurant in Portsmouth

It's been a long time since my coeliac disease has felt like a burden on my friends.

On entry they asked if we had any dietary requirements and said they all dietary orders were taken in person instead of through their web order system. After we'd had 5 minutes to consider the menu and get excited about the offerings the server came over to enquire as to how serious the allergies were. He then explained that the burgers were cooked on the same grill they toasted the bread on but that other people with coeliac have been fine.

I am disappointed that they seated us and left us with the menu for a significant enough time before sharing this information despite us declaring my allergy at the door.

I'm visiting the city with a larger group of friends and we had to walk out as I would not be safe eating.

We picked this restaurant for the gluten free options listed on their website. Most restaurants will disclaim that they cannot wholly guarantee a gluten free environment, however other restaurants also employ cross contamination control to minimise risk, instead of saying they can provide a gluten free burger without cleaning any of the cooking equipment.

Do not eat here if you have allergies, because even if their recipe is without your allergen, they will make no effort at cross...

First things first, there's a QR code used to order, but they do provide physical menus (which are actually really nicely designed). The wifi wasn't working so I ordered traditionally instead of via the QR code. The waitress (a blond girl) was very nice though, great service from her.

Okay, food. I got two different kinds of chicken tenders, they seriously sucked. They were bland and tasteless (aside from the burnt taste), and the texture was no different. Soft, but not in a good way at all. Tenders should be just that: tender, with a nice solid batter. These were just soft inside and the batter was absolutely pathetic. The burgers were pretty mid, on the low end of decent. And they only cook the beef either rare or well done... why?? The chili cheese fries were okay, not great though. The only actually good thing I tried was the Oreo milkshake, it was really thick and a bit too sweet, but overall pretty tasty.

Decent atmosphere, nothing amazing but it was alright. My group spent about 15-20£ per person.

I could imagine coming here with friends just for some fries and a milkshake. It's just a small town diner... I can see why locals may like it, but I'm used to bigger cities where the average food (even at a small local spot) is considerably better....

I have been meaning to order from here for a while now as friend have been telling me this place is better than Merchant House. Ordered the triple B burger (blue cheese and onion jam) and the Buffalo blue cheese wings.

The food was excellent and I think they are on-par with Merchant House. The burgers from Merchant House are slightly more expensive but are a lot larger but I really did enjoy my meal from 7bone and will definitely visit again.

The burger was incredibly rich and flavourful and the patty was very tender and juicy. I'm not a fan of the silly names for everything but damn, the burger was good - very soft and very high quality.

The wings were also excellent. I have never experienced wings where the meat literally falls off the bone as well as these wings do. The buffalo sauce was great and pairs with their blue cheese perfectly.

The presentation of the boxes were great and it did not take long to arrive. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had from a place like this. Better than Umami Street food but on-par with Merchant House. Both establishments doing great things!

I wish people would eat more food like this rather than that garbage from Kens. Will definitely...
