It's in the town centre so pretty close to shops etc. It's a decent menu with all the classics like burgers, hot dogs, fries and shakes. Honestly I first thought the food would be ok at best but was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. I had the NY club sandwich which was really filling and tasty. Everyone else said their food was just as good! If you're feeling that sweet tooth, try one of their freakshakes which look amazing but if you're counting calories, I wouldn't go near them as it looks intense but great! Service was great and very friendly and would recommend Phils Diner for anyone wanting a bite to eat.

So it took 29 minutes to get our order. But we were delighted when the food arrived. The burgers (double patty) were cooked nicely, not overcooked, not dry, but juicy & tasty.

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.

Probably the worst Surf&Turf I've ever had…read more.. Friendly staff can not compensate the lack of cooking quality. The steak was ordered rare-medium-rare and was served well done. The "breaded scampi" were more bread and fat than scampi. Mashed potatoes very dry, Highlight were the garden peas. The starter "beer battered mussels" were a disappointment as well: the only taste was the taste of the deep fried bread. All in all: only the friendly staff was a light at the end of the tunnel while service was below average, as one has to order drinks at the bar and food at a order station.

It was so nice we went twice! Both visits were amazing. The outside of the restaurant is very unassuming, but once you walk in you are greeted by a clean, modern oasis. Great location right along the beach in Sandown. Not too many tables which gives it a more intimate feel. Great menu selection with creative yet familiar daily specials. The chicken sandwich was the best sandwich we had on the IOW! Perfectly seasoned with a great kick to it and the chicken was juicy. I would like to say that our daughter is a noodle sommelier, and the kids tagliatelle was one of her all time favorite pasta dishes! The drinks were also fantastic. The salted caramel espresso martini was the highlight of our visit. Sweet and strong. Absolutely perfect. Shout out to Josh for the impeccable service.

A fun place for families. Food was delicious. My husband had the Steak & Fries I had the caramelized onion Burger, which I believe the cook brought right out to us. The fries were nice and hot. The steak was cooked perfectly my burger could have been cooked a bit longer to prevent so much of the meat juices from dripping. The waitstaff could be more inviting when you come into the restaurant. The first attempt to eat here the waitress apologized and said it would be a 40 minute wait as a trove of people arrived between 5 - 5:30 pm when we arrived. We told her we'd come back another time. Two days later we arrived around 4:30 ish, and the young lady from way behind the counter, without saying hello or welcome, pointed us to a table. Our assigned waitress was pleasant but we had to flag her down twice for more beverages, it wasn't really busy yet and three wait staff were talking amongst each other. In any case if you don't mind this type behavior this place will suit you, but if you're a large group it may be somewhat challenging to be waited on with a professional attitude. We stayed a week in lovely Brighton and the restaurant was across the street but we didn't bother trying this place for a third time.
