Came here for a birthday brunch! Everything was great. The sticky toffee and burger were both excellent. The sticky toffee was perfect because the pastry wasn't too sweet but the sauce was salty and sweet and meshed well with the pancake interior. The Full English was great outside of the baked beans, the baked beans were spicy and not fully cooked still quite hard not the typical soft beans you get with a full English.
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to try this place - it's incredible from the delicious food to the immaculate service. Do yourself a favor and get a bottle of wine here. Great sommelier!
I've been wanting to try out this British spot for a while. I finally dined here for brunch with a friend without a reservation. Thankfully, since it was chilly out, we didn't have much of a wait. The interior was lovely with an old world charm. When I saw Scotch Egg on the menu, I knew I had to try it, especially because it's rare to find it. This particular one was Curried Lamb, which was satisfyingly crispy on the outside, filled with well seasoned lamb in a tasty, boldly flavorful, savory sauce. The egg was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients came together beautifully. I also had to order the Sticky Toffee Pancake, above came with butter and plenty of sweet, glazed toffee topping. It was only 1 pancake, but made quite well. The edges were slightly crispy, while the pancake was nice and fluffy. My friend got the coveted Welsh Rarebit Cheeseburger, along with a side of fries, which was not included, so cost extra. The meat was irresistibly thick, and juicy, while the cheese was delightfully melty. The Steak Fries were oh so crunchy and addicting. Service was friendly and attentive. Everything came out in a timely manner. I'm glad I had a chance to come here for brunch.
While instagram hype and tiktok take over the food industry, a lot of these spots are now touting "12 burgers per day" and then we have no more. Lords does the same thing but the burger is available at brunch in an unlimited quantity. The real question. Is it hype/sensation that is making the burger that amazing? Does the scarcity add to the value proposition of this illustrious burger? at a pocket emptying $26 for a "welsh rarebit cheeseburger" I can't say its worth the price. Is it good? Absolutely, is it delicious? 100% yes. Is it worth waiting on a line for a chance to have one in the afternoon with only 12 being served? No. Menu is extremely over priced for the value. The question becomes is it worth it? Oysters kilpatrick $5.00 each? HELL No. Peekytoe crab and uni on toast $24? No. A handful of Chips at $14.00???? HELL NO!! Sticky Toffee Pancake? $18.00? Sort of worth it Banoffee French Toast $18.00? Yes. worth it Hot Coffee $5.00?? NO! Bloody Mary? - delicious but not worth the price All in all this place is hyped up and everyone is feeding into it. Everything is just okay, The prices are ludicrous. A single Scotch egg at $18 is highway robbery. Been twice. Tried it and tried it again to see if I had a different opinion. but just not worth the value for the food. There are better options out there that hit just as good. Service is impeccable and the food if it were about 45% cheaper would be worth it.
Came for the burger around 6:30pm but was out of luck. We snagged an outdoor table, even though there were spots at the bar (even when we left, the same spots at the bar were still empty). I'm not a fan of outdoor dining and we actually ended up getting cigarette ash in my husband's drink from someone smoking on their fire escape above the outdoor tables. Shout out to our waiter Damani (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) for speaking to the smoker. Aside from the seating/smoking fiasco, the food is great. We're big fans of Dame, but were so disappointed by Crevette. It's good to know the food shines here. Our favorite dish was the Peekytoe Crab and Uni toast. So much so that we ended up ordering another one. We will definitely return for brunch so we can get the burger and pancakes. Hopefully we can get reservations for inside so we don't have the cigarette ash problem.
Please see my review for Raoul's for the full picture. I was on the fence between three and four, but the server/bartender was very nice and accommodating and the food wasn't BAD, so I can go with four. Came here on the trek to try all the reported "best burgers" in NYC. I've had Sip & Guzzle's. And Raoul's. And Red Hook Tavern. Lord's rarebit burger is probably on the bottom of all those. It was unexciting. It tasted kinda like nothing. The fries ("chips") were hot and meaty and tasted good. A half order is huge so you may wanna get a half or have someone to share. Also, even though I made a reservation right when the reservations first opened, it took me five minutes to even get inside to tell the hostess I was there. There was a huge line of walk ins waiting on this prestigious burger, and there wasn't any prioritization of those who had planned ahead. Also, despite making a reservation, because I was a single diner, I was relegated to bar seating only. No table. This would have been fine overall, until they packed us all in like sardines and the guy next to me was practically sitting in my lap and elbowing me constantly. I did like the Scottish egg. Gooey and yolky with a great seasoning and crisp. Like Raoul's, they make a limited number of burgers per night, but if you come Saturday or Sunday during brunch, it's unlimited. Honestly, I would come here again because their regular menu with British food seems interesting and pretty palatable. Various forms of fish and steak with different toppings and dressings, sophisticated flavor profiles and lots of seasoning (despite the British reputation for bland food). But the burger? Raoul's for Manhattan. Red Hook Tavern for Brooklyn. I've had better burgers in a lot of places, including one of my stand by spots, Freeman's.
Snagged a last min res for brunch. Walked in and was seated immediately. It's cute inside! Smaller than I thought but cute. We went for the burger and it was absolutely delicious - the burger is on the brunch menu as opposed to the 12 burger limit for dinner. Really rich but really good. Chips were thick but crispy and hot. Also got the scotch egg - a fun take and app! Really yummy. The pancake... omg... if you come for brunch and don't order the sticky toffee pancake, you've fumbled the order. We almost didn't order it but I'm SO happy we did. Great way to end the meal. Drinks were yummy too! We will make our way back for sure.
I got a reservation for brunch. Not going to lie finding the entrance was confusing. The decorations in the restaurant are very cute,loved the tea pots. The Scottish egg was delicious lots of flavor and the oysters were interesting, best part was the pancake it was fluffy and sweet perfect way to end the meal.
Walked into Lords like "yeah yeah, British food," walked out a believer 506 LaGuardia Pl, NYC Started with the curried lamb scotch egg -- absolute banger. Crispy, spiced, zero notes. Washed it down with a proper Guinness (they pour it right, respect ). I'll admit it: I side-eyed the "only X burgers per night" thing... That doubt vanished after one bite of the Welsh rarebit burger. That rarebit sauce?? Still renting space in my head. Prime blend patty, bed of onions, tangy, powerful, balanced -- a wonderful companion if I've ever met one. Closed strong with the blueberry compote & corn ice cream choux bun. Didn't expect it. Didn't stand a chance. Top-tier service, cozy energy, incredibly lovely evening. Already planning the return like a man who knows what's good.
Nice warming meal on a cold new york evening, the depth of flavors was unmatched. A friendly staff will greet you upon your arrival. The scotch egg was possibly the best one I've ever had, the chicken and Guinness pie were old classics given modern twists. Not picture is the sticky toffee ice cream dessert, which is now in my top five ice creams of all time.
Was inspired to come here after watching a video on how Lord's made the best scotch eggs in New York, and they definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the scotch eggs and crispy pig's head, and both dishes were so good that I ended up ordering a whole short rib pie as well. The scotch eggs were pure perfection, with crispy outsides, jammy yolks, and an amazing combinationof lamb sausage, curry flavoring, and an herbal cream sauce. I was really impressed with the pig's head as well- I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be some super tender pork cooked into a crispy triangle, paired with tangy endives and good mustard. The short rib pie was great as well, with a buttery crust and juicy meat. Service was great and the ambiance at my bar seat was cozy. Some of the best British food I've had.
Made a reservation ahead of time and returned for brunch on a Saturday. Sticky toffee pancake was incredible - a really unique pancake in a city full of them. Welsh rarebit cheeseburger was phenomenal (unlimited availability at lunch)! Fries were also perfect. Would try the Banoffee French toast next time!
The sideshow became the star! The triple fried chips are incredible! I only got the half order but next time it will be the full. Definitely the best chips outside of England, the exterior of the chips was crunchy, the interior moist and creamy. No traditional malt vinegar or gasp,.. ketchup needed! With Lord's finally opening for brunch, I finally tried the famous twelve-burger-a-night Welsh Rarebit and it was good. It could have been better. The patty itself was perfectly cooked rare with the cheese perfectly layered on top. The raw onion was cut way too wide for the patty size and thus over powered the flavor of the meat. I ended up opening up the burger a removing a few of the onion rings. The burger was also over seasoned. This wasn't one of my favorite burgers in NYC but it certainly has the potential to be very good. The aesthetics and the service at the bar was outstanding. I'd certainly return to try other items on the menu.
Walking into Lord's, my gf and I were feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders. Our friends were in town from LA, where they run 2 restaurants. The pressure of picking where to eat with restaurant operators was a new kind of feeling. It felt like game 7. My gf could tell I was crumbling when she said, "Pressure makes diamonds, but it also busts pipes. So in times like this you gotta ask yourself: Are you a diamond, or a pipe?" We picked Lord's, as I genuinely can't picture having a bad meal there. We opted for the Scotched Eggs, the Snap Pea Salad, the Crab Toast, 2 Burgers, and a Sticky Toffee Pancake. After trying everything, one of them looked up and said "there are legitimately no bad bites in here...I'm obsessed." A cocky smirk graced my face as I locked eyes with my gf. WE ARE DIAMONDS! They loved it so much they ended up ordering another round of the scotched eggs and sticky toffee pancake. I must shout out our server Lily W as well, as the white glove service in here made us look good. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo read more
First time having British brunch and let me tell you, this place lives up to the hype. My friend recommended me to try this place out for brunch and it was just so good. The burger is really famous here but I come back for the Scottish eggs. It was so good - I wish they gave us more than two. Drinks were fun and the pancake - yum!!! The ambiance is very decorative and the service was ok. We ordered chips with the burger but they forgot it and never brought it out. The server apologized which is what we appreciated. We will come back and try the dinner menu for sure. read more
Husband and I were lucky to be seated immediately as a walk in on a weekend, but definitely recommend making reservations since we were initially quoted a 3 hr wait time without! We loved the pancakes, it had the perfect amount of crisp around its edges and was drowned in a buttery maple syrup. Batter is on the saltier side which I'm a fan of. We also ordered the burger, chips, and scotch egg. Personally thought the scotch egg batter and burger was on the saltier side of things as well which added up with so many savory dishes. The patty was perfectly cooked to a medium rare and was so tender and juicy. The chips reminded me of pommes frites fries, and that vinegar mayo was the perfect complement. I would love to come back for the dinner menu! read more

Amazing food and excellent service from Damani. Just don't sit outside. I actually had cigarette ash spill into my drink from someone smoking on the fire escape which I believe is illegal. Definitely try the crab uni toast which was my favorite of the night. read more

Everyone tells me British food is not great so that made me want to try it for myself. Everything we got was flavorful but slightly too salty for our preference. The Scotch lamb egg was delicious and I loved the fries. Super fatty and crispy. They're known for their burger so we ordered one. It was a good burgle but felt pretty standard too n again a little too salty for us. The Banoffee fresh toast is my favorite. Very sweet but it was so delicious and helped balanced out all the salt. Service was great and restaurant had a British pub vibe to it. Also, all of their food is quite heavy so make sure to be prepared for that. This one meal kept me full literally the entire day. read more
There aren't that many British restaurants in New York so knew I definitely had to try Lord's at some point. Banging pies - from the sausage roll to the rabbit pie. Both of these were great. Flavorful meaty with a good crust. The chilled corn soup was also good and refreshing. A good contrast to a lot of the otherwise heavy meaty dishes. Food is great. Service was great. Ambiance was also great. We were too full for dessert so skipped this time, but would definitely want to come back and try them since they look outstanding. Kinda wish they have the sticky date pudding! Overall, pretty damn great. read more

Wow, Lord's was a completely unexpected delight. A friend suggested it for dinner, and I thought- British? Hmmm. He promised it would be the best British food we've ever had, and he was completely correct. We had the Curry Scotch Eggs (incredible), Trout with Celeriac, Snap Pea Salad (one of my favs), White Asparagus (interesting), Roast Chicken (best dish of the night for me), and Lamb Pie, their take on a shepherd's pie, and also delicious. The wine list is fantastic and the cocktails were great, especially the martinis. The space is cozy and ambient, really captures the pub feel of a London mainstay. The service was fantastic- our server was helpful, happy, and even treated us to a round of free drinks when she got distracted by a larger party's needs (we were fine and didn't even notice, but loved the drinks!). Do NOT skip on dessert- the ginger cake and apricot crumbles were both amazing. 10/10 meal. read more
Absolutely worth the hype! My friends and I got there 30 mins before opening on a Sunday to snag some bar seats without reservations. We ordered the scottish egg, the burger and the french toast and everything was a 10/10. Our server was also delightful and had great recommendations. Definitely worth the try in my opinion! read more

First time trying British cuisine! Such a cute date night spot with rotating dishes featuring seasonal ingredients & the iconic scotch egg. Happy that the team accommodated my request to sit by the window to enjoy some people watching too! P.S. loved the cute plates wish I could purchase them for myself hehe. Oysters (10/10) Zerbinati melon cucumber salad (8.5/10) Scotch egg (8/10) Duck pie (9/10) read more

That Scottish egg is like so abysmal ....plates were nice. Chips were great Burger was great read more
Oh Lord! It's quite an apt name for the restaurant/bar. I recently went here with a friend from Yelp to experience their brunch the prior weekend. It was literally the coldest day of the year so we lucked out with snagging a table without reservations. I had heard of this spot before from instagram reels. I was skeptical. I guess they only make like 20ish burgers a night if you intend on dining in the evening hours. And trust me, this burger has been hyped and raved about. The place in itself is cute and quaint with some old English charm. They have a relatively small menu of small bites and entrees. My friend ended up getting the scotch egg as an appetizer, which she gave me a bite of to try. Honestly, it was really great. I've had a scotch egg once and this was definitely better and more perfected. It was also nestled in a bed of remoulade sauce I think and curried. Delicious. She went with the sticky toffee pancakes as her main which I also tried. The cream on top with the fluffy pancake is divine. But really what am I here for? That burger. I guess they do regular amounts of orders of burgers during brunch service. In case anyone is curious. So those instagram stories of there being only 20 burgers a day is purely a myth. At least on weekends. If it's a weeknight, you might be tough out of luck. The waitress warned me in advance. She said a burger was easily shareable with 2 people when I asked if it came with fries. They still brought out the fries which I'm not entirely sure if I ordered them. They are $14 extra but I wasn't super mad about it because they were pretty dang good. Thick steak cut, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and perfectly seasoned with a side of mayo. The burger is a top tier show stopper. It is HUGE. She wasn't kidding. I struggle ate my way through this meal. The burger is cooked medium rare, exceptional tasting. Raw onion, rarebit Welsh cheese slathered on top, dripping mess on an exquisite brioche bun. I didn't even put ketchup on this and that never happens. Is it one of the best burgers I ever had? Yes. Without a doubt. I have zero regrets. It was like treating myself to a steak lunch. I didn't partake in their lovely sounding libations but another reason to come back some day. read more
Ooh, I def have a new favorite English restaurant in NYC. British food gets a bad rep but I firmly believe so long as it's made well, EVERY cuisine can be delicious and Lord's proves it. Tried a Scottish egg for the first time here and it was everything I hoped it'd be, would def order again. English breakfast was fantastic, particularly the blood pudding and sausage; only part I didn't like was the bread, which was deep-fried and soaked in oil (would've much preferred hashbrowns, or even just regular toast). Sticky toffee pudding pancake was delish and massive, loved the toffee flavor-- that being said, I think they put sour cream on top? Would've rather they put clotted cream or whipped cream. Their burger also looked really good, be back to try that next time! read more
Above average food, but nothing crazy. The Scotch eggs had a decent amount of flavor in them, but $16 for one whole egg is an aggressive price. The cod had a delicious sauce and the sides were solid, but the fish itself had a slightly odd texture. The Shepard's pie had some great meat inside, but the seasoning did not seem consistent throughout. It was also a pain to share. Finally, the ginger cake was yummy and I would say that was the highlight of the meal. May come for brunch for the pancakes and the burger. The service was smooth and the atmosphere was vibrant and had a charm to it, but nothing crazy. read more
Amazing food, fun ambience, but pricey! Food: we had the scotch eggs, bluefin tuna, poached cod with butter beans, roast golden chicken, duck pie, and green salad! sticky ginger sponge, sticky toffee ice cream. The duck pie and scotch eggs were my favorite! We got there too late to order the burgers. The sticky ginger sponge is also amazing. Ambience: fun environment! It was loud but very happening which was nice Price: pretty expensive per dish Service: good service! They were fun! read more

Never had a scotch egg before, but I dream about this one. Great meal and vibes all around! You must try the burger and the fries, also the desserts!! Highly recommend this place to anyone in NYC read more
Nice cozy spot to grab a dinner, can't go wrong with the scotch egg and the burger. Luckily they had burgers all night for the NYE special. Service was nicely paced and efficient. Would go back and have to try the steaks or pie next time. read more
Dined here for a friend's birthday and everything tasted amazing! I personally enjoyed the proper english chips and their curried lamb scotch egg :) their chicken was nice and crispy with great flavor. Server was super helpful and answered all our questions on the spot in professional manner. I would recommend this place if you're in the mood to try delicious British food! read more
One of the four quotes on the sign in the bathroom reads: "Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess." -Oscar Wilde And it seems that Lord's has taken this to heart, as this was a very rich, very heavy meal. I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. I like rich and heavy food, but I was still feeling it hours later. We started with martinis. A British restaurant, several of them on the cocktail menu, it felt right. Whether you're looking for a classic, or their tuxedo version (maraschino liquor, absinthe wash, orange bitters), they are both going to taste delicious. I'd heard their burger is one of the best in the city, and we were lucky they still had one available so we split that, the crispy pig's head terrine, roasted mushrooms, sunchoke & marmite hollandaise, and the poached trout. The burger lives up to the billing. It is EXCELLENT. As are the large, seriously fried chips that are an extra charge. It was easily the best thing we ate, and the table next to us came in for burgers and chips and nothing else. I might do the same next time. That's not to say the other food wasn't well done. I truly enjoyed the trout, but especially the butter beans, leeks and mussels it came atop. The mushrooms were also excellent, but they were drowning in hollandaise (we left 60% of it on the plate). The pig's head terrine I was excited for, but it honestly could've been fried anything served with a dollop of excellent dijon, and a few pieces of well-dressed roughage that I wish we had more of to cut the richness of...everything. The service is impeccable. The room is beautiful (intimate, and warm, with another smaller room behind a curtain next to the bar). A good place, overall. read more
Really good food. Vibe is nice and service was excellent. The scotch egg was so yummy. Not crispy everywhere because of the sauce on the bottom but it was cooked perfectly and the flavor was good. The burger was also rave worthy. Ordered it after 6 on Friday and we still made it and they said they have a few left. Burger was a perfect medium rare and I loved the cheese. Wine prices were very fair which I liked. The ginger sticky toffee pudding was yummy as well. It was rich but not overbearing. The texture overall wasn't the best pudding but I liked their take and the flavor. The ice cream was delicious. read more

Came for weekend brunch - scotch eggs and rarebit burger. Vibes were cozy and bartender was fun/engaging and very helpful. The eggs had so much flavor - soft-boiled eggs encased in lamb sausage, perfect balance between gooey but not too runny over herb crème fraiche sauce. The famous burger is unlimited for lunch (unlike dinner), rarebit cheese paired well with burger/onions. The pretzel bun was good size and covered patty well. Onion helped contrast flavor. The chips (fries) with garlic aioli tasted great, had a balance of crispy and soft chips, thick and thin ones. Definitely will return for other menu items! read more
Had the good fortune of being treated to dinner for my birthday by my wife & son. The interior of Lord's is that of an upscale British pub, however the menu offers sooo much more than any traditional pub or tavern I've ever visited! I started with a Piccadilly Martini which was topped with a literal spot of dill oil. Simply one of the nicer martinis I've ever enjoyed. We ordered 3 oysters kilpatrick, lamb scotch egg and peekytoe crab/uni & Meyer lemon toast for appetizers. The oysters were broiled and then topped with crispy guanciale, a warm mixture of shallots, brown butter, Worcestershire sauce, and malt vinegar. The flavor was excellent but the oyster was definitely out sung by the topping. Still a very delicious bite. The scotch egg was modified by using ground lamb with Indian spices & served on bed of yogurt & mint. Crispy exterior and perfectly cooked farm fresh egg yolk interior. Another winner. The peekytoe uni toast was really crispy and a wonderful meshing of the sweet & briny crabmeat with the velvety texture of the uni. A very rare moment when I enjoyed uni. Our mains were the sirloin & chips with a green peppercorns sauce, the poached cod with butter beans, leeks and mussels and I enjoyed the corned beef and cabbage with bone marrow and a side of mashed potatoes topped with finely chopped chives. My opinion was the corned beef pie was the best when drizzled with malt vinegar. The dish itself is a large serving for one guest with a large bone in the center of a flakey puff pastry topping. Our table universally enjoyed that dish the most. We also agreed the sirloin sauce would've been tastier with a mushroom sauce or something a bit more complimentary than the red wine(?) sauce served as it was a bit sour. The poached cod with butter beans was quite good especially when eaten with a dab of the parsley cream served atop the beans & leeks. Truly memorable. We finished by sharing the very satisfying sticky ginger sponge & vanilla ice cream which our server kindly topped with 2 lit candles and NO singing...perfect! The service was friendly but a bit spotty. At one point in the dinner I didn't want to interrupt the server (who was engaged in an extended conversation with the neighboring table) for a second martini and some malted vinegar and went to the bar to request it. Overall the servers worked together and the experience was memorable. I'd recommend a visit and will return again soon! read more
