    Pretty nice breakfast/brunch spot offering a wide array of American classics. I ordered The All…read moreAmerican (16.75 GBP), which was a typical combo of pancakes, bacon, homestyle potatoes, a sausage, and two fried eggs. It was rather plain/ordinary but certainly not bad. I have to say, the pancakes were a bit on the dry side though. Also, the eggs were sunny side up but didn't actually seem fried at all, as they were super soft without any crispiness. In addition, they didn't even add the slightest amount of seasoning on there - at least a few pepper flakes would have been nice (although there was pepper on the table, but still). The homestyle fries were well-cooked with a good crispiness though. The restaurant has a lower level with some seating as well as a larger upper level. It has a sort of old-timey kind of vibe, with wood panels along the walls and ceiling and a little performance stage in the back. It is conveniently located right next to the Canary Wharf tube station. My waitress was average friendliness and was only moderately attentive, as she never checked up on me during my meal. She also waited until I actually got my food to bring me my water. Overall, The Breakfast Club is a solid option for breakfast/brunch in Canary Wharf with pretty much any of the classics that you could want.

    My quest for breakfast nearly turned into brunch due to my questionable navigation skills and…read more(shocker) rain. In my defense there are several rivers/canals I could be walking toward. I just kept finding the wrong one, but TBC made it worth the wait. For those seeking "a little more conversation", stop at the bar for the friendly experience you'd expect. Today I headed upstairs to the VIP Section. Unlike my wife who never saw a pancake she wanted to go home with, I like a menu with plenty of pancake choices. And bonus points if not too many are "exotic" such as cake disguised as compote-smothered confectioners-sugar-laced trendy-named items. Just get me some sort of flapjack with or without fruit. Bonus points if you have short and tall (long?) stacks. And double-bonus if you print "flapjack" on the menu. Enough about the pancakes (my wife is saying). She doesn't even like breakfast so don't listen to her (she'd skip if I weren't always dragging her out somewhere for it). Her loss. But just one more pancake point: I got the blueberry short stack. It wasn't epic but it was a solid +6-7. That works, given my earlier frou-frou comments. I couldn't tell and maybe the maple syrup was imported from Canada (eh), but we are spoilt with our Vermont supply. So no points gained/lost there. I didn't get any baked beans (yes because this was breakfast), but my bacon was tasty as were my two Americanos (aka coffees). If I had for some reason wanted pre-noon beans...I'm sure they would have been lovely, along with all the other varied menu choices I didn't have room to sample. Service was fast and efficient, and they endured my lingering into late-morning. By the time I left it had stopped raining. Will wonders never cease.

    So I said I will come back and try the food. Here is making good on it. It was quite good…read moreactually, ordered the slider and a starter platter to share and couldn't resist their milkshakes, which was splendid last time. The food did not disappoint, the slider was quality, wasn't too heavy, great burgers and chips which tasted homemade and packed with flavour. The staff was also awesome again. Overall great American diner experience. Great for kids and great for pigging out. Be warned milkshakes and desserts are good here.

    Waited 30 minutes before anyone came over to offer us a drink and that was only after I asked…read moreanother server to take our order, which his reply was he would get our server (who took her time coming over). Another table that just came in was served before us! Even after I mentioned this to the manager who served us, she still had the cheek to say that the cheesy chips were an extra £1, when this could have been the perfect time for her to waive the extra cost considering the length of time we waited. Not only that, she dumped the cutlery at the end of the table and walked off without a word leaving my son to hand them out. Service is very slow and extremely unorganised and the food is pretty average for the price. The Fantas I ordered tasted more like orange squash and fizzy water and considering they were different shades of orange, I believe this to be the case! The strawberry lemonade my daughter ordered tasted like water with a hint of strawberry! My son enjoyed his Oreo Milkshake and the cheesy chips, hence me begrudgingly giving them two stars. They had the balls to add an automatic service charge on top of the cost of the meal, which I made sure to tell them to take it off as the service was shocking! Would I go back, NO!! I only stayed there as long as I did as my son wanted to try it.

    Great service- moderately priced - great views!…read more On our last evening in London, we wanted to try a steakhouse near our hotel. Goodman's was the highest rated in our area for steakhouses so we gave it a try. The prices aren't cheap but are comparable to steakhouses back in the states. We ordered a t-bone and a bone in ribeye- both are cuts we typically order in the US paired with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach- also side dishes we would typically order with our steaks. The manager stopped by our table to apologize for the delay in our order (honestly we didn't even notice). Shortly after her apology our food arrived and exactly how we ordered - medium rare. Nothing is worse than a steak that is over prepared to your liking. They served the steaks with 3 sauces- bernaise, pepper sauce, and bbq flavored sauce. The sauces were ok in flavor but I feel steak is best eaten with butter & salt and as minimal sauce as possible to enjoy the steak. A good steak doesn't require any sauce in my opinion. Although the steak was prepared to our liking - always a plus when dining out - what stood out the most was the service. Isabella (Zabella) was a fabulous server. She was accommodating and offered several choices. A few of the steaks we attempted to order were sold out and she offered alternatives which is always better than "sorry we're out". She was a lovely Italian who gave us friendly service in addition to travel advice to her home country. On top of the great service, the manager once again stopped by and offered us dessert and a drink as an apology for the delay in our food service. We definitely didn't expect this but happy to oblige when she offered. Price is always an important factor when choosing a restaurant, but service almost always supersedes that (within reason of course). When you have great food AND great service that's a 5 Star in my opinion! So when you're in the Canary Warf area of London, definitely check out Goodman with the nice views of the water and great service.

    Solid delivery with the food --- prepared to order. Fantastic location on the wharf. Attentive,…read moreexperienced service. Can recommend without hesitation.

    I've known about StickyWings for some time. Actually, since they were selling their wings across…read morethe pond at the Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York, USA a few years ago. Of the places not from Western New York at the festival, StickyWings stuck out as having the best-tasting wings. Vacationing in London years later, I had to pay them a visit. StickyWings is a takeaway-style joint on a side street, with a dozen or so tables occupying a narrow dining room. After ordering at the counter, I took a seat and waited for the wings to come. The amount of time my food took to arrive was just enough to convince me that the wings were cooked fresh and, indeed, they tasted that way. Crispy, saucy goodness. While I wish they had a spicier "Buffalo" option, these are hands-down the best Buffalo-style wings I have had outside of New York. My ONLY complaint is that the sauce is a little off. Tastes a tad buttery for a traditional Buffalo "medium", but other than that, the wings were perfect. Cost was reasonable, too, and service was friendly. I lived in Buffalo, New York for 8 years, surrounded by the best wing joints in the world. StickyWings is the real deal. These wings are damn good and, frankly, they could teach a lot of places in America how to do them right.

    Got food poisoning here. Check if the wings are undercooked…read more . . . . Why do I have to make this review so long?
