But afterwards, things went down hill. I saw online that behind the Smeg fridge was probably a speakeasy, but when I asked they immediately turned me away with an explanation. Service was prompt but no one checked on our table, or even asked if we had any food allergies. But others around us were serviced and asked these questions. We ended up finishing our food and had to ask for the check as well. I ordered the greasy spoon. I wasn't crazy about the sausage but everything else tasted good and my boyfriend ordered huevos rancheros. It's a very casual type of restaurant. Nice stop for breakfast overall.

Upon entering the premises we were greeted with warmth and smiles. We ordered 3 dishes all of which names escape me. I do remember the menu reading "coconut jerk chicken" catching my attention which inspired our curiosity to give this a try. The coconut rice was a delicious compliment to the jerk. While the chicken and waffle topped with pickled beets was an amazing union with the side of mac n' cheese! This venue has an amazing vibe & creative ambiance which makes it a perfect place to catch up with friends or for date and meaningful conversation. For my fellow music lovers, they do also play music (unsure of which nights. I'd inquire if interested) Looking forward to my next visit! If you're in the area I definitely recommend giving this spot a try!

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.

Loved it wish I went for the Ironman (double patty version). They have various sides from chips, curly fries to olives even as well as drinks and smoothies.

The burger was very good and quite tasty. They were out of the medium lobster tails and only had BIG's as they call them. Not sure how this happens at a Burger Lobster place with such low occupancy.

A 1/2 hour wait became 15 minutes which was a nice surprise. A good size dining area with a long bar. We started with a local draft Lager (can't remember the name) & the Lobster Martini which was excellent. Ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese which was also excellent & a good portion for sharing. We all wanted to try their B&L (Surf & Turf) burger. Temperature choices are medium or well-done. Burgers were cooked more than medium. Despite that, the combo of Gruyere & Lobster on top of the Patty worked well together. It is a rich and filling burger despite being 5 oz & looking like a slider when it comes out. Two ordered regular fries (it's a la carte) & mentioned they tasted like the fries of the fast food place that has served many. We also ordered the Parmesan truffle potatoes. Although a bit oily, were definitely a better compliment to the B&L burger & worth the upgrade. If you are really hungry, the regular burger sans Lobster is 10 oz and a bit lower in price. Surprising they highlighted that their beef comes from Nebraska given the locally sourced movement. Worth a try for the B&L burger & a few tables looked like they were enjoying the Lobster also.

Of the places not from Western New York at the festival, StickyWings stuck out as having the best-tasting wings. Vacationing in London years later, I had to pay them a visit. StickyWings is a takeaway-style joint on a side street, with a dozen or so tables occupying a narrow dining room. After ordering at the counter, I took a seat and waited for the wings to come. The amount of time my food took to arrive was just enough to convince me that the wings were cooked fresh and, indeed, they tasted that way. Crispy, saucy goodness. While I wish they had a spicier "Buffalo" option, these are hands-down the best Buffalo-style wings I have had outside of New York. My ONLY complaint is that the sauce is a little off. Tastes a tad buttery for a traditional Buffalo "medium", but other than that, the wings were perfect. Cost was reasonable, too, and service was friendly. I lived in Buffalo, New York for 8 years, surrounded by the best wing joints in the world. StickyWings is the real deal. These wings are damn good and, frankly, they could teach a lot of places in America how to do them right.

Three friends and I came in for dinner on a Tuesday at around 8 pm. The place was pretty empty. It seemed that most of its patrons were just hanging around the bar for some after work drinks. I ordered some kind of linguine with crab and mussels. There was barely any crab in there. The dish overall was basic - probably something I could have made better at home. However, I did like the parmesan crisps that were served on top of it. (I stole their idea and made it myself at home, and it was AMAZING) For drinks, I had the Basil Bay (vodka, crushed basil leaves, lemon & sugar). I asked them not to put any sugar, but it still tasted pretty sweet. Plus there was barely any alcohol in it. It was really just a basil lemonade. It also took forever to come out. I ordered it as I was finishing up my meal. I didn't actually receive it until after we let them know we didn't want dessert, and right before the bill. On top of all this, our waiter was not friendly and pretty inattentive. He wasn't rude about anything but he just seemed like he couldn't be bothered to do anything for us. We had to constantly flag him down just to get some water. 100% would not recommend Crab Tavern....but I am appreciative of the parmesan crisp idea, I'll give credit where it's due.

Having visited the Crab Tavern twice in its opening weeks, the impression it had on me was that it…read moreis somewhat intriguing with its speciality in crab but is otherwise a little anticlimactic and confused. First off, one side of the restaurant has a wall plastered with cartoon crabs - reminiscent of something you may expect to see at a swimming pool and this side of the restaurant gives off a family-friendly diner vibe with comfy booths to sit in, whilst the other side of the restaurant appears to try to be more stylish with high chair seating, wine glasses a-ready, narrow tables and hooks underneath for handbags. The staff did not appear to gel as a unit and it was not clear who was the barman, the waiter, the host, the manager, or otherwise. The wine menu is printed neatly on the back of the food menu but they have no non-alcoholic drinks menu to speak of. When asked to make up a mocktail this seems out of their comfort zone as the result is an uninventive mixture of fruit juices with a disproportionate amount of chunky ice (served in a jar-shaped glass). The Crab Taster sharing platter is worth a try as the variety of crab bites is unique and well presented.  The West Coast Bucket looks somewhat impressive but at £35 per head seems overpriced for what is essentially a small lobster, some parts of crab, some small mussels and then lots of potato and slim spicy sausage. The Singapore Crab seems very much like Crab doused in a spicy marinade whereby the flavour seems to be a separate entity to the crabmeat. The crab legs pretty much 'cost an arm or leg' leading my friends to say we would've been better off buying them at the market. Nevertheless, it did deliver the easiest to eat and chunkiest bits of crab on the menu. The potato mash is a decent side on offer, whilst the steak and chips was quite unremarkable and could've done with some side salad to spruce it up. In conclusion at Crab Tavern you can expect somewhat inflated prices and bog-standard food in a restaurant that seems to be confused about its identity. Worth a visit if you are a sucker for crab but let's face it, there are plenty of other 'fish in the sea'.
