An American restaurant situated not far from the town centre with it's typical American decor. A…read morefantastic atmosphere with its ultra comfortable leather booth seats, skylight bringing in natural sunlight, even plug sockets for laptop users and free wifi. It also seems the place to watch live sports over a drink and a burger with tv screens on each corner of the restaurant yet it is still very family friendly and service has always been impeccable. In my honest opinion I do believe they serve some of the best American dishes around and can even compete with some of London's favourite diners. Wild wings (cajun) x6 Incredibly moreish and can see myself finishing a higher quantity bucket load. The wing sizes were quite average but very succulent and meaty inside. The cajun spices gave it a nice sweet paprika garlicky flavour and latched on well on the crispy skins of the wing showing that they were well fried, Sloppy Joes Ticked all the boxes for a fantastic burger. First that lovely pillow soft brioche bun, slightly charred so it came warm. Then came the rich tender minced beef fried with onions and peppers in there to give it some texture and boost of flavour. The sauce it came with was generous, with lovely rich sweet and and savoury notes keeping everything moist and juicy throughout. Finished off nicely with a fine slice of cheese, melted perfectly to intensify the umami flavours. Full rack ribs A delicious slab of ribs, keeping its meaty texture and flavours which suggest it was slow cooked the full length of time to tenderise and soften the meat. There was no pre cooking the ribs beforehand here. This allowed the rich BBQ coca cola sauce to penetrate through to the bone whilst reducing in liquid to create a rich and sticky coating around the ribs keeping everythign moist and juicy. A nice light creamy coleslaw on the side to cool things off. Curly fries These were perfectly fried. It had that moreish fluffy inside and crispy outside that was coated in the sweet mild spices which you find collapsing on itself as you chew, sending the rush of flavour through each mouthful. I say mouthful as who just pops one in their mouth per bite, not if they are this good. Chilli fries Not the spicy chilli as I imagined but chilli consisting of a wonderful well flavoured mix of red kidney beans, onions and red peppers in a lovely thick tomato slurry that helped bind the sauce and flavours on each and every chip. Drizzled with sour cream to add a lovely creamy consistency. Very wholesome dish. Sloppy suits every occassion whether it's your quick lunch or a celebration feast. Food has always been fantastic and paired with that is it's lovely bright and spacious atmosphere. Those who can eat a lot like me should definitely go for one of their food challenges. try their Sloppy Joes challenge and knock me down the top of the chart if you can.

The bar does get quite busy at the weekend, but I have heard tales of a few celebrities and footballers frequenting there!

I felt a bit like a genius because I was choosing a place for several friends to meet up and we all…read morewanted different things. I wanted something with at least one good veggie option, they wanted something with meat, and it had to be somewhere in-between Camden and Canary Wharf, not too pricey, and ideally close to the city because otherwise our Italian friend probably wouldn't make it. And lo and behold.... THE FAT BEAR!!! It was all we wanted and more! This place is sort of tucked away and up some stairs above a pub. It's really just a room and a half, which makes it super cozy and they have a pretty awesome looking bar. It's got warm lighting which makes the atmosphere really nice. Their cocktails were delightful and the service was excellent. I will make a very strange observation that someone working there had a very drunk friend who just sort of made herself at home. Then more joined and it turned into me watching this table of really really drunk people trying to order food. Two of them ended up just falling asleep. It was super strange. Anyway, me being distracted aside, I really loved the cocktail I ordered- Sloe Boat To China, and everyone else seemed happy with theirs. I was dying to try the pimiento cheese starter and the fried pickles. The cheese was particularly sharp and delicious. The pickles were good, but quite skinny (I mean come on, you're in an American restaurant I was expecting some serious pickles). The vegan gumbo was super spicy and delicious. I was impressed and enjoyed it. My husband dropped the ball and ordered the regular jambalaya (with sausage) rather than the seafood one which broke my heart a little bit, because I really wanted to try it. You know, I guess that means we'll just have to come back. Oh also another bonus, this place has brisket which is really hard to find. I can't say how it tastes but my friend said he defo approves (am I becoming more British with these words, or just more annoying?) Anyway, to finish it off I had the oreo cheesecake which the bomb. I love oreos. And it tasted like oreo. So all was right with the world. A wonderful place to come if you have people who want to try American food, or if you have out of town Americans who are too scared to try other food, or if you have hungry friends that want to try cajun food, or if you just want to try some really yummy food.

So tonight's visit is such a shame. Staff lovely as always…read more Cold food and cold restaurant. It was blinking chilly in there, they had plugged in heaters, and did turn the little white hot air heater towards me, so I did warm up, but I kept my coat on, and you could see others were cold too. Food: so, starters had a really decent size of buffalo wings that were cooked well, hubby said they "loved them, they were banging". I had crispy chicken which was hot and fresh with a nice flavoured honey mustard dip with it. Mains: shame. I had the veggie burger and it was cold, like fridge cold. It was missing the tomato salsa and onion ring it normally comes with, and was a cold stodge in a bun. So I ended up just eating my chips which were lovely to be fair. The hubster has the ribs and were nice enough. Mac and cheese was average. They did take the burger off of the bill and apologised re the burger. But it's a shame as it ruined the meal really. As I said, staff are lovely and I am a fan of this place, but tonight it really wasn't up to par. I'll of course go back, but if it is cold again I'm Walking out. I'm sure the food will be fine!!

Bottomless all you can eat brunch at Eds diner, yes please. What I enjoy about it about the most is…read morethat it serves simple no fuss all American food, that is fatty, sweet, savoury, and more of it. But the catch is that you have to clear your plate before you can order more. Hot drinks is also bottomless. I don't think there is any place which does this, especially at the price and in East London, never mind a shopping centre. The full American hit the spot, and for desert, haha remembering this is just brunch, triple pancakes with blueberry and cinnamon. Big eater yes, but I also enjoy good food, which eds diner delivered. The service was brilliant, all round helpfulness and smiles, and importantly it did not feel pretentious. Sometimes I feel London has become one. Long queues and hipster vibe with small portions and over pricing sometimes for the same -ish food Here not so much, feels like a normal resturant, but Value for money for sure. Coming back for sure.

Unfortunately the quality of the food made it a place I'll never visit again. It wasn't just poor, it was nearly inedible. I was hungry, so I ate the side salad (completely bare with no dressing or even a hint of salt or pepper. Just greens), and I really tried to eat the sandwich, but even after slathering it in condiments to mask the flavor of the horrible bacon, I couldn't get it down. Fries were good. Coffee was burnt beyond recognition. I wouldn't eat here again.
