Absolutely terrible service…read more Nobody sat us or even greeted us when we walked in. We sat at the counter, and after 10mins we had to ask for a menu. After another 8 we had to ask for water since nobody brought us any. 30 mins total and again we had to ask to order. We weren't told what items they did not have up front, so we were disappointed when the drink we wanted wasn't available. The margaritas were super watered down and far too sweet. The fries had barely any flavor. Surprisingly the Cesar Salad was the only redeeming part. Nobody cleaned our area while we sat. Only when we were ready to pay. And they ended up taking my drink when there was still a few sips in there. Horrendous.

As an American expat in London, I've finally found authentic American pancakes in The Diner. The…read morerestaurant's retro-inspired interior is welcoming and the menu is packed with favourites from my homeland - pancakes, chicken and waffles, hot dogs, shakes, etc. After sampling the menu from at least 5 visits, I can confirm that The Diner's pancakes and bloody marys are top notch. Other breakfast foods, however, fall a little flat. The bacon is a bit soft, the heuvos rancheros is bland, and the waffles don't impress. Despite its shortcomings, The Diner is still a solid bet for decent American food.

So it worked great for us. It's a five minute walk from the Tower Hill tube station, so not completely isolated. But most of the patrons are locals. I had the full English breakfast, with ham, eggs, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, and fabulous homemade thick toast. Pure English comfort food, and delicious. They're only open for breakfast and lunch, as one might expect. Good food, good prices, and, for us, good location.

The waiters were nice but the food was not the best. I got a scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon & the salmon had a fishy smell to it, was flavorless and there was barely any hot sauce available. My friend also thought her burger was just okay as well with the biggest positive point being the bacon. That being said, the fried dough balls dipped in chocolate were really great and so were the holiday specials for alcoholic drinks. While the inside was spacious and retro and had a cool vibe, I have to knock down points for the actual food itself and wish that I had kept the memory of how much I enjoyed this place pre Covid as that since I wouldn't make my way out to this restaurant again even if I'm in the area.

My first night in London (a mere 3 hours after getting off the plane and severely jet lagged) my…read moregroup and I decided to pop into The Diner because we were all hungry and exhausted. As Americans, we were interested in seeing the English take on a lot of our classic American diner dishes. I had the chocolate chip pancakes, my sister had cheese fries and macaroni and cheese (she has an intense love for cheese) and our friend had the burger with seasoned fries. I think the best things on the table were the pancakes and the cheese fries. It seemed to be ACTUAL cheese melted onto the fries instead of the fake "nacho" cheese that we get in the states -- even though the fake cheese is also delicious. The macaroni and cheese was a bit dry and in need of a bit more flavor, as was the burger. The pancakes? Awesome. They came out warm, fluffy, topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a side of butter and maple syrup.

At this, they fail. Any Denny's will provide a better experience than this, without the London prices. Some complaints: after asking for sweetener for my coffee, I was informed they only have sugar or agave syrup. I asked for an omelette, and I was informed they were too busy to make omelettes, even though the menu offers scrambled eggs any way you like. How time consuming is an omelette? So I revised my order for 3 scrambled eggs with a side of bacon. They brought out two plates, with 2 eggs on each plate! The service was slow and unfriendly. This might be acceptable if it was a 24-hour diner, and I was there at 4 am with the clubbers and other freaks sobering up for the journey home. It was noon! I sense the people dining here were part of the bleed-over traffic from a nearby Breakfast Club, as there was no queue for a table at The Diner, unlike the competition on a Saturday morning. Apparently, this location is part of a chain. America isn't very popular these days, so these Londoners have a lot of cheek destroying the idea of one of the few good things you are usually guaranteed in the States: a friendly breakfast diner where you can get a bleedin' omelette when you ask! (One positive: they serve bottomless filtered coffee. There is that.)

The downstairs is where I would recommend you sit as it is filled with jail bars resembling Gotham Jail, but don't worry there's plenty of room. The burgers are named after superheroes and their civilian personas (double patties and single patties respectively) I went with the Tony Stark which had shawarma meat (bit like kebab) and cheese was well as beef. Loved it wish I went for the Ironman (double patty version). They have various sides from chips, curly fries to olives even as well as drinks and smoothies. The staff were friendly and were more than happy to answer any questions and take pictures of our group for us. A must visit for any comic fan, especially DC fans.

Although there's been a lot of complain about the decor I personally love it. It's rustic, old and lazy cosy looking. It even has an old Chinese sign still saying 'beer' which is probably left there from the previous place. If you're looking for a more modern sleek cool looking like Byron or Honest Burger then you're in the wrong place. I don't know if it was an one off but both of the burgers we ordered were burnt, the bun that is. It couldn't have been because the kitchen was busy as we were the only customers there plus one other customer who was finishing off. So they told me that the mushroom bacon and cheese burger I was ordering was actually lamb. The burger was stacked tall, almost impossible to eat my hand. But I didn't dare to try and use that knife and fork instead (the uncool way) mainly so I could avoid the burnt bun ruining the taste of the generous filling. I love mushrooms in burgers and here it was able to give the burger more flavour and wetness which it needed. Although the lamb patty was flavoursome, it was slightly dry and on the coarse side. Not the best burger I've had. The Shrimp Po Boy was a much better choice. I love the filling of beautifully battered shrimp that was light and plump. The seafood sauce and lettuce accompanied it well, adding different levels of texture. It was cheaper too. But another problem with the burger bun was that it was too thick and dense, taking a lot of moisture away and because it was a 'lighter' burger, some flavours got lost in there. But it had potential. We also ordered a side of onion rings that were battered perfectly. But sadly there were so bland they became uninspiring and boring. The poutine was also unseasoned and bland. There's no point adding salt as it didn't flavour the inside of the chips. I did enjoy the addition of the goat's curd and the lamb gravy was lighter and less synthetic/generic tasting than other poutine I've had which was nice. But there is one reason I would return to The Advisory for and that's for their amazing coffees. The flat white we ordered was one of most aromatic, smoothest and creaminess I've had. My boyfriend said it was very similar to Turkish coffee so the beans they used were probably very finely grounded. My hot chocolate on the other hand was forgettable. I was planning to give The advisory another chance on their food but looking at other reviews it seems the problem of bland food seems more common than an one off. I think with Patty and Bun round the corner I'll stick to that next time for my burger fix.

Highlights include a breakfast burger with avocado, one with blue cheese and bacon and a sweet potato and haloumi number. And of course the more traditional cheese burger. There are some new york style sides such as mac and cheese with cauliflower, greens with garlic and chilli as well as onion rings. The brunch menu is relatively restricted and pretty bread heavy. There is about 6 items to chose from including eggs benedict, blueberry pancakes and a salmon bagel. They also serve a few different sandwiches, again, quiet NY style. The pastrami one looked pretty good but didn't try any myself. And if I went here again I really really want to try the shrimp po boy. Service was a little slow BUT the waitresses were super lovely so that made up for it. I love the space and the whole room styling. The bar is fully stocked with everything you would possible need to start off an accidental saturday/sunday session. Sides are around 3pound and burgers/sandwiches/breaky items are around 5 - 8 pounds.
