Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience.

The fries were completely soft and clearly undercooked. The vegan burger patty was completely burnt on both sides, so I didn’t even take a bite of it.

The smash burger had barely any lettuce but was overloaded with vegan mayo. I tried eating it without the patty, but it still tasted awful.

The staff were friendly, but I didn’t ask for a replacement because I already disliked the rest of the burger and didn’t think a new one would have made a difference. I ended up leaving the food and walking out.

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place.

I came here for dinner and tried their bacon burger. It was good, although it didn’t fully convince me. The seasoned fries, on the other hand, were excellent.

Service was quick.

The staff are nice and helpful.
But here is the problem! The place smells like leftover oil and you'll probably lose your appetite by the smell. The chicken burger is okay but I didn't like the taste of the beef smashed burger as it tasted like leftover oil. Not really satisfied with the quality as it's not a cheap place. In addition, I had extra mushroom on my smashed burger as I wanted but it didn't satisfy me at all as the mushrooms also tasted like oil and not fresh.

I recently visited Philly’s Burgers in Oxford with a few friends, and it was an incredible experience. 🍔✨ I had been there a few years ago and was excited to try it again, hoping for a great beef burger meal like I remembered. The customer service was outstanding—the staff were friendly, and the boss himself even came out to greet us. He went above and beyond, recommending a special dish he could make just for us: a smash patty truffle burger, which wasn’t on the menu yet. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we were excited to try it. 🙌

Now, I know what I’m talking about when it comes to burgers, especially smash patties—they’re my go-to every time. And I can confidently say that this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. 😍 It was perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and truly exceeded my expectations. The messy fries were equally on point, making the whole meal unforgettable. 🍟 There wasn’t a single thing I’d change about the burger; it was perfect in every way.

Although parking outside is limited, and you might need to park and walk a short distance, it’s absolutely worth the visit. 🚗➡️🚶‍♂️ I was happy to return after all these years and will definitely be coming back again. Philly’s Burgers has truly earned its spot as one of my favourite burger places! 🌟🍔

Nothing wrong with this place. It’s a small and intimate place. Unfortunately nothing to seperate this place from all the other burger restaurants and nothing special. Average in all areas. But it does average well and in a clean setting.

If you want a burger, and looking for casual dining - this is worth a visit.

Got a £5.50 burger and cajun fries. Food was really good for the price. Service was very friendly and welcoming, despite it being 22:20 on a Wednesday.

If you're looking for a decent burger at a great price, I'd definitely recommend this place. Cajun fries were really nicely flavoured, too.

Simply delicious!!! I saw the reviews online and decided to try as take away and we loved it! Burgers are very tasty, crispy fries and the price is good too! We have already tried twice and there is nothing bad to say about their food. If you fancy a burger with fries in Oxford, that is the option I would recommend so far. Their meal deal comes also with a sweet option which can be chosen between chocolate brownie or cookie. Too cheesy burger with additional bacon is a great choice and double chicken too.

I had a Triple smash beef burger and my wife had a double smash beef burger 🍔. A lovey small place situated in Oxford. A Halal menu at that. The interior of the place has a nice feel with all the wooden touches. Our order was promptly given to us as we were both eating inside. The burger was delicious 😋 and the fries were also unique with signature seasoning. Request some in-house Philly sauce with your burger for another taste sensation. The Biscoff milkshake was also 👍. I would definitely visit this establishment again, check it out!
