    The food is good and the place is clean but can be a bit too salty at times. Its not too expensive considering the portion sizes.

    10 of us made a much overdue first visit to Urban Standard last week and absolutely loved it…read more It's very understated from the outside. A big black sign sits above the big open widows, but with barely any writing or branding. You'd really have to look for it if you didn't know it was there. Inside the decor is dark with some weird and wonderful stuff on the wall. They had loud house/electronic music on which I loved. The atmosphere was really casual but really buzzy! I've never ordered ribs at a restaurant before. I generally don't think you get enough meat and I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce. But something felt different in the Urban Standard and I felt compelled to order the half rack. So order I did! And it was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in ages! The ribs are ridiculously meaty, lots of meat on top as well as in between each rib. The sauce was nice and spicy and not too thick that there was more on your fingers than on the meat! I really liked the fact they gave you a side pot of the same sauce for the chips! The chips were also really good and for a around £9 it was a really decent feed! I had a couple of gin and tonics which was Bombay Safire and tonic. Nothing out if the ordinary. They do have a little micro brewery and if really like to try the ales, I just wasn't in the mood. Next time! This is definitely one of the hottest new places in Gloucester Road. It's a bit different to anywhere else and I applaud them for that! If they keep the same music at the same volume, I'll definitely be a regular!

    We stumbled across this little place whilst thinking of a venue to have birthday meal. Formally an…read moreamusement arcade this little place has undergone extensive refurbishment. You are now greeted with a very hip establishment with bench seats and local arty farty works adorning the walls. They have a very interesting but expensive drinks selection. Including some very fine Orchard Pig cider £4.20 a bottle.But tonight for me was about the grub. I opted for a burger with cheese. And it wern't all that bad. But it wern't as good as Start The Bus ! I like my burgers with plenty on juice and for me this was just a tiny bit dry. Others opted for the Pulled Pork Mac and cheese which was pretty good, and decent sized portions. Overall it was a nice plesent dining experience. But then again i've had these in the cafe at tesco, so I wont personally be hurrying back.

    This was my fifth visit to one of my favourite restaurants. I deliberately travel out of my way to…read moreeat here. The restaurant has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and serves up an American-style BBQ menu. Portion sizes are big and the quality of the meat is never in doubt. On this visit I discovered their chicken wings, which have to be the best chicken wings I've had in the UK, and I'm struggling to remember any wings sampled in the U.S. that would beat them! The secret is definitely in the coating - I'm just gutted I didn't discover them sooner! Their southern fried chicken burger is my favourite burger from here, however unfortunately on this occasion they served it with blue cheese on top rather than the regular cheese I asked for. No problem though, they were more than happy to make a fresh burger which was just as delicious as always. The Surf, Bird & Turf Combo and BBQ Ribs are also great choices. My biggest plus about this place though is their fries; the best fries I've ever eaten. Consistently awesome on every visit, beautifully crispy and well-seasoned. Big 5 stars from me as I've had 5 fantastic meals here, and they have Brahma on tap which is a bonus.

    As an American traveling in the UK for work, I was happy to find this American inspired bar and…read moregrill. The food is very good, the restraunt is clean, and plays a variety of music. They even have Bud on tap. Worth a stop if you miss some Americanized food.

    I waited to be seated for around 10 minutes while someone was behind the bar basically doing…read morenothing. The lady who came to seat us was extremely nice and made sure we got our drinks and food quickly, which was appreciated. There was another young lady who had some small talk with my girlfriend about Harry Styles, as my girlfriend had brought the vinyl with her. That was extremely nice and friendly of her. My girlfriend and I ordered a pizza to share and, to be honest, it wasn't PizzaExpress level, but it was cheap and cheerful. It tasted very nice; I just wish it had been cooked a bit more, as the dough was very light. Overall, the two members of staff who served us were very nice, and it's just a shame we were left standing for 10 minutes waiting to be seated with no one paying attention to us.

What is also a little querky is that i the toilets they have a 'teach yourself italian' CD running on loop, so you can pick up a few Italian words everytime you pop to the loo! The soundtrack in the resteraunt is also pretty distinctive, and if you find yourself loving it you can buy one of their CD's! Frankie and Benny's, not just your average chain resteraunt....
