Burger & Lobster - Brighton

You'll find yourself on Market Street in the thick of things, where this place sits pretty with its no-nonsense approach to eating. It's the kind of spot where the menu doesn't need dressing up—you're here for either a lobster (butter on the side, obvs) or a seriously good burger, and that's genuinely it. The room's got that effortless confidence you get when a restaurant knows exactly what it's doing, all stripped wood and bright lights, more New York than fancy-pants seaside.
