If you're looking for an authentic American 50s-style-80s diner, this is the place. It has ok…read moreburgers, ok dogs, and very thin very milky shakes. This place is the pinnacle of American mediocrity, conveniently located in downtown Cambridge. Every item our rather large party tried was completely fine. Not good, but not bad. The only stand out was the atomic fries, though just because it's insane that they work at all. Whoever thought of pairing Frank's red hot with guacamole, sweet salsa, and sour cream on fries is a mad genius. I expect if the ingredients used here were less obviously terrible, many of the dishes would be exceptional. All in all, this place is cheap enough that it doesn't hurt to visit, but I won't pretend to be enthusiastic about the quality.

The service and ambiance here are perfect. Not much selection for vegetarians or vegans. Since I do…read moreoccasionally eat fish I had the sea bass. Beautiful presentation, delicate filet.

Overlooks the river.

For anyone considering eating here, I would recommend you review all your options. I'm quite…read moredisappointed in my experience. Food was underwhelming and basic. Things were looking promising when I saw a vegetarian breakfast offered in lieu of the traditional English breakfast. I was drawn to the dish because it offered spinach and hash browns in lieu of all the meat in its partner dish. My friend ordered the regular Full English and her dish came out well before mine. I waited roughly 10-15 minutes longer for something that would appear to take less cook time. The plate came out and I noticed there was no spinach. I was not offered a choice as a substitute nor made aware of the situation. Long story short I ended up ordering the Full English and they forgot my black pudding. Waited additional time for that as well. Then they forgot I asked for the bill. Overall, I would not recommend it, especially if you're on a time schedule and multiple mishaps occurred. No cash accepted and 12.5% service charge automatically added to the final bill with the usual VAT.

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.

The Diner is one of those places in London trying to replicate the American diner experience, with…read morethe typical English vision of what a diner is, through the typical Hollywood lens. 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.)

Everything about this restaurant is pure excellence!…read more My wife used to do a lot of work with two of the local theaters in Northampton. One of them, Royal & Derngate, is just a five minute walk from Chata, so this was a regular stop for us for a meal out before or after one of her shows, or if we popped down to see one of the many great acts passing through town. I can't imagine a better restaurant in Northampton. First, the service. We were always waited on by the owner, who was always up for a great chat. An immensely friendly, welcoming, and attentive man. Second, the food! The pork shank is unreal, absolutely spectacular, and my wife always enjoyed the pierogies. The sausage appetizer with mustard is also excellent. For drinks, they offer three or four different Polish beers, of which the owner will share his candid opinions and recommend one to suit your tastes. There's also wine, and Guinness, if I recall correctly, but stick with the beer. I highly recommend the Zwiec for a super drinkable lager with better flavor depth than the others. Having been to many restaurants and pubs in Northampton, this is by far my favorite for its incredible service and food. This place is, simply put, homely, and you can't do any better than home.

I believe our waiter was also the owner, and he was incredibly inviting and welcoming. We ordered two platters for four of us, and we all got the beet root soup to start. We wanted to sample a little of everything, so the platters were the way to go. The food was incredible. Beef rolls that melted in your mouth, pork shanks that were worth the wait (about 20 or 25 minutes), onion pierogies, polish sausage, pork loin- every bite was just amazing. I couldn't believe that my family ate every bite- it was an enormous amount of food. Authentic, prepared with love and care. We also had a 10 month old baby with us, and she agreed that the food was delicious, as she couldn't get enough of sampling the menu either. They have an awesome high chair too that looked like it could be found in a ski lodge in the Swiss alps- rustic, sturdy, and very comfortable. The service was so friendly and helpful with offering suggestions, and even other guests in the small restaurant were friendly and willing to start up a conversation.
