Michael Dehn C.

I visited the restaurant with my daughter for having dinner. We both had the spareribs with chips, coleslaw, and cokes The service was fast and friendly, and we got a quiet booth in the back. My first impression of the meal was the it was great, but I found the meat a bit dry the end of the scale. But the sauce however was Great! The accompanying chips were very shortened , looked like leftovers. Not happy about them. The coleslaw was sweet and good, potion size for dwarfs!! An automatic service charge of 12,5% is added to the bill

Oh dear! Let us start at the beginning, we sat down at a little table right in the middle of the rapidly filling up restaurant. The waiter took our drinks order, I had been looking forward to trying some of the cocktails on their website menu (which has irritating music playing in the background...hello 1995), but was told rather curtly that these were no longer available as this was an old menu. The prices are higher on the new menu too... No matter, we had a couple of cocktails which weren't bad and asked the waiter to take our food order once we had finished. This was clearly a problem as we sat for at least 15 minutes after finishing, menus closed waiting for someone to come past. The waiter rushed past, I caught his eye and said 'Hi', he said 'Hi' then moved to clearing another table. Eventually he came back and took our order, with a clumsy up-sell asking us if we wanted large starters...why would we want large starters when there is a whole back of ribs to come, I digress. The starters arrived, one Southern fried wings, one BBQ wings. Both on the cusp of being cold, both slightly pink in the middle. Fair enough, this place is known for it's BBQ right, this is how it comes...ok, they weren't bad although the pink was a little worrying and the 'tobasco' southern fried chicken was really just battered chicken. While we waited and waited for our mains we heard the table behind sending back their food for being cold, in-fact while we were there several dishes went back to the kitchen untouched. Were these wrong orders? What are the waiters doing? The table behind got their replacement chicken...we still waited. Hooray! It arrived...uh oh, chicken was barely warm...again, this time it was going back. We broached this subject with the waiter, who's response was...and I quote "how come?", bemused we just looked at him, he said again, slightly more forcefully "how come?". Wtf? He then sighed and took it away to be reheated, at which point we definitely regretted coming here. My ribs were not so hot either, and really no better than Waitrose own brand. Not a patch in Bodeans or perhaps any other reputable BBQ place in London. After waiting for 15 minutes for the table to be cleared, that was enough! The maître d' clearly saw our pain and was good enough to remove the chicken and starters from our bill, which even then was not small. This place is the worst of TGI Fridays, meets the worst of Hard Rock Cafe.

Smokey burger and sweet potato fries

So I thought I was doing a good thing. I'd been meaning to come here before I'd started writing a list for Yelp of the best American restaurants in London (later the UK and then Europe). I'd even enter competitions for vouchers in the idea that it'd finally give me the impetus to come. So the do a free Stars and Stripes promo for the 4th - you get a free sundae if you wear them. Read Nickie C's review for what happened there - in summary no sundae, and a waitress that may have thought we were nuts because my wife showed off her starry shoes. We arrive right on time, to a restaurant which is about a quarter full at 6pm. So where do we get seated in a restaurant which has one large table of 15 or so finishing and a table of two starting? Yep, directly between the two. Impossibly loud, the acoustics really carry on here. Couldn't really talk to each other over the noise from the other tables in a nearly empty restaurant. Half price mains had one main at half price. I went for a burger will pulled pork on top - that was I got to try the burgers and the barbecue in one hit, along with some sweet potato fries. She orders a portion of jalapeño poppers. They comprised of raw chilli cut open and stuffed with cream cheese in a light better. The chills weren't cleaned out of seeds, so we're incredibly spicy if their raw form. Burgers arrived. Good crust on the burger. Buns were so-so and tasted like a longlife bun. Pulled pork was a dark brown tasteless mush on top of the burger. I cut the thing in half, ate one half and then just the edges of the burger on the second half. Sweet potato fries were good - but I recognised then from other restaurants, they're a frozen type and not made in house. Then we had to try to get our plates cleared when we still had about 45% of the food left on there. That took a while. The the sundae fiasco. Then waited for fifteen minutes until the waitress came over and asked if we wanted anything else. Final insult was that our waitress blocked my wife in while she was trying to leave because she was busy pouring water for the table next to us. I'd been really looking forward to this and it was just awful.

St Louise ribs!

Good food. Very basic American style. The mac and cheese had over cooked cheese on top, but otherwise everything was edible!

Walking home from a great meal at Jacuzzi on Kensington High Street to our hotel Ember Locke on…read moreCromwell Road, we were magically drawn to this delightful outdoor row of sharp looking cozy tables awaiting someone to enjoy the peaceful time between sunset and dark. Crisp navy cushioned benches with throw pillows and lit candles set the mood. We each had a lovely dessert and a cocktail. Our server was animated and engaging, we enjoyed our time here and would return again and again if we lived in the area. Such a great area !

We made an early reservation (6:15) but got there a bit earlier and enjoyed a round at the pub side…read moreof the restaurant. Quick warning to early birds, this also tends to be when families also dine. (We had a few excited young friends as well as a few unhappy/hungry/tired friends seated around us.) Between us and our dinner mates we've raised a total of 11 children - so it didn't phase us, but something to keep in mind. The pork chop was absolute perfection. I couldn't decide which sauce to choose, so Marta, our server, brought all three. (The peppercorn one was my fave, followed by the Bérnaise.). My date had the curry and really enjoyed it. (So much so that I only had a small forkful of the sauce, he cleaned his plate!) The booth was cozy for our party of 4. Easy to catch up and comfortable to sit for a bit. Great spot!

Meh. As an American missing home, I thought I'd give this place a try since it received generally…read morepositive reviews for its burgers. I wasn't impressed. I ordered the basic cheeseburger and I don't think the meat was of particularly high-quality. Also, it was cold. I also ordered their limited time only roasty tater tots. When I went to pick them up, however, they had run out of tots, and so they gave me a pile of french fries that I could dip in the gravy. Not exactly the same thing, but I thought I'd give it a shot. The fries were cold, so it didn't really much matter. The gravy was also cold. The gravy would probably be good if it were served at room temperature let alone hot. Food temperature and quality aside, the right thing to do would have been to refund the cost of the tots, not try to substitute fries without my agreement. If I had the chance to do it over, I'd skip this place.

After 11 days in Italy we found ourselves craving something besides pasta. We needed something…read moreother than pizza. We needed a burger. Enter Byron's. Located right across the street from the Gloucester Road station it's really easy to find. And around 12:30 on a Sunday there were plenty of seats. Byron's is modern, yet comfortable. Staff is friendly and they make up a mean burger. Both the Hubs and I ordered the BYRON Burger - with bacon, cheddar, shredded iceberg, tomato, red onion and Byron sauce. At £9.25 the dish doesn't come with fries which is a bit of a bummer, and in turn a bit expensive. But we made sure to add a couple sides to try. The fries (£2.95) were mighty tasty. The order come in a nice size bowl that's easy to share. We also ordered up the courgette fries (fried zucchini sticks) (£3.25). I didn't love these...I guess I'd rather just stick to fresh/crisp zucchini instead of fried. Hubs liked them though. We ended with milkshakes to go. Yum. We spent about £32 ($55) on two burgers, two sides and two shakes. Which, generally, is a bit expensive for us but overall - Byron's a really good meal. Burger was seasoned nicely and cooked as asked. Soft bun. And I'm usually not fan of "secret sauces" but this one is really tasty, don't go without it.
