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.

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.

We were so excited when TGIF opened in Stevenage that we could not wait to pay the place a visit…read more Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. We paid a lot and weren't satisfied. We felt it would have been a better experience if we had gone to KFC instead. Because of my allergies, the staff had to get the manager to take our orders. One of the most unenthusiastic and disinterested manager I have ever interacted with. He was so sluggish. He forgot to get the allergens' guide when he came over to take the order, so had to return to get it and he took his own sweet time to return. I should mention that the staff was friendly and were happy to serve. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, the food took forever to come out. We ordered JD Cajun battered shrimp, Nachos, JD chicken and shrimp grill with mash and seasonal vegetables and JD duck salad. The food was average. The mash was dry as though it was lying outside on the plate for hours. The veg was cold and the chicken breast was dry and was also the tiniest piece. I have eaten at other branches of TGIF within the UK and also internationally, and have loved every bit of it. Hence will be giving TGIF Stevenage another chance before I rule them out completely.

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.

And the food has never been disappointing, but the portion size are huge and for a person with a poor appetite I always struggle to finish. Have loved all the dishes I have eaten so far at C2C. It has been almost 6 months since our last visit to C2C and I realised the menu has changed and it is quite appealing. We ordered the BBQ platter, and after being served we realised it was meant to be a sharing platter for 4 and not for 2...it was BIG. The platter comprised of chicken tender (my all time fav, missed the blue cheese dip they used to serve with it), succulent hand cut ribs (my sister loved them), American loaded bacon & cheese and cheese & chives skins, BBQ chicken wings (it was really good) and finally tortilla chips topped with salsa and homemade chilli cheese sauce. We struggled finishing half of the platter but the Millionaires waffle looked so good that we choose to order one and share it. It was like cherry on top of the icing. Warm fresh waffles with salted caramel & chocolate sauce and ice-cream topped with honeycomb balls. I have always ordered chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce and honeycomb ice-cream (one of the staff member insisted I tried the honeycomb ice-cream, glad she did) and it is my favourite dessert at C2C. Now I have two favourites.
