You might have heard by now that a popular burger chain is heading to Cardiff .

Honest Burgers, which has restaurants in London, Manchester and Bristol, will soon be joining the Welsh capital as part of the .

The history of the burger

Here's what some of our sister websites in other cities have said about the hip burger bars.

Here's what the Manchester Evening News said:

"Burgers are big in Manchester. Although the burger rush has quietened down in recent years, the originals - Almost Famous, Solita, Archie's - still stand strong, with Get Chucked and Firebird Hope breaking through to join the fray.

"It's a local offering good enough to ward away most of the larger chain operators, with Byron Hamburgers closing two of their three restaurants in the city and Gourmet Burger Kitchen retreating to the captive audience of the Trafford Centre.

"Prices are on par with local rivals and it's certainly bedded in well, with a bit of a wait for a table on a Wednesday lunchtime (though that could well be the charity deal).

"Honest Burgers is full of good intentions, but the road back down south is paved with those. And although the chips are enough to elicit a stream of superlatives, are the burgers up to scratch?

"Honestly? There's room for improvement."

They may have a way to go before they beat Bristol independent burger benchmarks like Asado , Squeezed and Oowee but Honest’s commitment to quality and supporting local suppliers is sure to gain them a loyal following among the city’s burgerati.

This is what Get Reading said:

Get Reading described Honest Burgers as "a burger filled with award-winning yummy goodness"

The reviewer opted for The Reading Burger, saying: "The town's signature dish comes with smoked bacon, Barkham Blue cheese, Nomad roasted red pepper chutney, tomato, red onion and gherkins.

"The only change I made was removing the bacon and adding a pot of hot sauce for £1.

"The burger itself was so juicy it dripped, dribbling all over my hands and chin.

"But don't let that put you off! All those juices just made the burger taste even better."
