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.

Bottom-line: while maybe average to its American traditional bbq counterpart , Boudean's is…read moreprobably as good as it gets for London. Ordered the half baby back ribs, fries and slaw. Baby back ribs: not necessarily fall of the bone type of ribs, but if you give it a good tug , some of the meats will slide off its axis. I enjoyed it for what it's worth. Obviously, the smoker is limited in scope , so I'm not expecting Texas style quality. Was a little chewy in some places, but also tender in others. Had a preference for the chiptole bbq sauce rather than the hickory. Fries were mostly good (minus the tiny bits). So close to the meats, the fries absorbed some of the smokiness flavor. Slaw: low-point of the bbq. They used way, way, too much dressing. Like it was flooded. Also the cabbage wasn't cut finely, but presented as whole chunk slices. Would definitely not recommend this one. Overall minus the slaw, I enjoyed Bodean's

The food and service in this 'pub' had never changed. Always friendly and priced in the region giving everyone a chance of eating out once in a while. Loved the starter of scotch eggs. Was worried that a Scotch egg was a little heavy for a starter but these were a little smaller. That didn't take away how delicious they were. The mains of mussels with fries was a great offer. My parents were Belgian so I was brought up on 'mosselen met frites'. These met my taste buds very well. Still a great pub, great service, lovely atmosphere. Guys #staysafe

I had the Ploughman, which I thought was tasty and lots of fun (as an American I hadn't had anything like it before). My sister had the chicken pie and it was yummy. My mom enjoyed the lamb, but my dad wasn't much impressed with the fish and chips. We got ice cream for dessert and it was very good. Highly recommend the lemon curd sorbet. The service was a bit slow, but the waitress were nice. One was still going through training.

I know this pub is more for meals but, on the off chance, we popped in and asked if there was anywhere we could sit to just have a drink. Remember, the night , and I was pleased to see the pub was packed out. The young man said we could use a table pointed out to us but for and hour and a half as it was booked. Let me say that this act has made us want to visit Fowlers for a meal later in the month. Food looked delicious and staff worked so hard. I know the pub has a wonderful outside area for the warmer weather and a pint. In summer we know where to come.

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.

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.

The restaurant is in a little old building on one of the main streets near the Catherdral. It was empty when we arrived in the middle of the afternoon and we were greeted promptly by a smiling waiter. She gave us our pick of the tables and a selection of menus. We were starving so we chose one of the platters which came with ribs, pulled pork, Korean fried chicken, brisket, fries and slaw. We also ordered the Asian crackers. Every bite of it was lovely. Some of it was very heavily seasoned but with the house lager it was perfect. I was particularly fond of the ribs. The sticky soy sauce glaze worked perfectly with the rich rib meat.
