THIS REVIEW IS OF THE QUALITY OF FOOD ALONE!!! I am actually from western NY, within 50 miles of where Buffalo Wings became famous and every western New Yorker knows a good chicken wing and I have only ever found one place in the UK with good enough wings for them to remind me if home... But now I've found another!!! I've been seeing this business prepare for opening over the last few wings and when I realised it was an American Wing Restaurant I was so excited as it's right on my way home! The chicken wings were the right size, had the right crisp and succulence and the buffalo bliss sauce was reminiscent of the Anchor Bar(birthplace of buffalo wings) itself. I was given 5 wings and wedges in what I believe will be one of the menu items. It didn't come with Bleu cheese as standard (which might have been for the pre-opening event..idk) , but I didn't ask for it so I will make sure to do so next time. It did come with coleslaw, though...which I didn't really see the point of, lol! Oh yeah hey have burgers and per menu items, I'll unlikely be trying these soon as wings are now so close to home. Anyway, the opening is on the 5th of November and there is 20% off so I will most certainly be there to get some good wings again.., eventually when they are fully trained, I will update this on service too!

I was happy to try Wing Stop in London. I've eaten at a bazillion in the US…read more The service was actually pretty fast. They were very busy and they just kept the food moving! That was great because I was starving. There's a lot of seating inside, mostly upstairs. It seemed they were actively keeping the place very clean. A couple things that stood out to me... The folks bringing food to the tables weren't the friendliest. Not quite rude, but not quite friendly. The food itself was not quite the size we're used to here. I don't take anything away from them for that; it's just something to be aware of. SMS to be fair, I've had smaller portions here in the US (but almost never). Food was OK. Place was clean. People I dealt with couldn't much care if you were there or not. Smile once in a while

Nando's. What a great idea. Bits of chicken, spicy sauce, big hot griddle. Various beers. Half-way…read morebetween self-service fast food and a proper restaurant. They also do steaky things and some veggie dishes. And sharing platters - good for groups. I am a huge fan of condiments. Nando's has tens of the things. Peri-peri sauce ranked by heat from Mild to the small, dangerous looking extra, extra, super napalm death mega hot variety (or something like that). Oh, and various garlic and herby things, ketchup etc. Yawn. I am also a fan of side dishes, of which Nando's offers several. Having said this, I find the chain's decision to brand ratatouille and salad as fino (posh) side dishes slightly bizarre. I can understand sweet potato mash being posh, but I think a French (or even a Portuguese) person would probably not consider a veggie stew or a plate of raw veg posher than a bowl of chips, baked beans or corn on the cob what a funny society we live in Anyhow, back to this particular branch: I was delighted to discover a Nando's in the barren wasteland of restaurant opportunities that is Park Royal (I have various other descriptions for Park Royal that sadly don't fit Qype's talking in front of your mother guideline). Since this revelation, I go there quite often with various people from my workplace. There are plenty of different types of seating, booths, standard and high tables. It's quite a large restaurant, with plenty of space to accommodate diners arriving (usually with a gleam of hope in their eye not unakin to that of a drowning man grabbing at a nearby liferaft.) The place is clean, and the decor, while in the usual Nando's style, is easy on the eye. Attitude of staff tends to be more towards the fast-food than the restaurant mentality, but having said that we've never had any problems. Apart, of course, from mustering up the will-power not to have another beer and to go back to the office.

We got there quite early, around 6pm, and first thing you notice are stools all along the fire spit to watch your chicken cook. If you prefer a less entertaining view, there are tables on the back side of the restaurant. Sometimes it is best to have a simple menu. Chicken, a few sides, dessert and drinks. For 2 people, a whole chicken is just about right. They offer you two sauces, hot and some smokey sauce and to be honest the chicken is so well seasoned I didn't really need any of the sauces. It was really damn good chicken. We ordered a side of fries to share - they were quite good when they're hot. There were a lot of small pieces towards the end you don't even bother with. They were okay. As we were sitting at the bar, I saw them prepare the apple pie and luckily I had room for dessert. They brought us nearly a quarter slice of the pie with two scoops of ice cream! It was really, really good.. could've made it a meal in itself.

So today when we were considering where to eat for lunch we decided to finally try it out. BEST DECISION. My boyfriend and I shared a half chicken, along with the butter lettuce and avocado salad, corn on the cob, and a slice of apple pie. All the food was incredible!! Both of us had plenty to eat and weren't so full we felt sick. As if the food wasn't enough to convince us to want to come back again, the atmosphere was great. The decor is rustic and simple. The kitchen is open and surrounded by a bar where you can watch the chefs work (we opted to sit there and observe...it was mesmerizing). If you are a larger party there are bigger tables in the back too. And their staff were so friendly and conversational. Will definitely be going back!

When I first saw the Yelp entry for buffalo wings within walking distance of my office, I…read moreimmediately began to obsess about when I could make the trip over. First time we went to scout out the location, it was closed because it was cold, miserable and raining (ah, the English springtime!) As soon as the weather started clearing up, I dragged my colleague (who incidentally is one of the world's biggest Nandos fans and has eaten at something like 2 dozen of its branches) back over to Brick Lane. We both had the lunch special special with the hot (I think it's 'woof woof' sauce). It is certainly hot sauce, I have a relatively high tolerance for spice but made pretty slow progress (great for clearing out the sinuses btw although between that and all the orange sauce over your face I'd recommend taking about half the kitchen roll provided). The lunch special includes 6 wings, onion rings or fries, blue cheese sauce, a few little sticks of celery and a drink. My colleague love the fries, the onion rings were standard (and by standard I mean delicious, as they are one of my favourite foodstuffs). Drink options are awesome - I had cream soda which comes in a pink can which I drank from a pink straw. I looked extremely serious and prepared for my afternoon's work arriving back in the office still drinking it. Aside from being hot, the woof woof sauce was a little sour for my tastes, I would get it again but would add some salt. I have since tried the original which is fine but not particularly exciting. I also sampled the next level up which immediately burnt a hole through my tongue down to my stomach. Colleague experienced same sensation (and he is a Nandos extra hot kind of guy). This really raises the stake on the 'roulette' option - 7 original wings plus one 'viper' - the fourth and most extreme level. Terrifying. Has to be done.

Buffalo Wings... in London?…read more Yup, you heard it right. The folks at The Orange Buffalo are cooking up some absolutely delicious wings from the heart of the Turman Brewery just off Brick Lane. Nick, the man behind the counter, hails from England but has spent time in both Upstate New York and in San Francisco. Thinking about wings and food culture in general, he couldn't have picked two better spots to learn all about the secrets of the Buffalo wing and about the importance of good ingredients. The sauces are home made and the chicken is free range, what more could one want really? This little stall is absolutely worth checking out, and even on a Friday at lunchtime there was a queue. So go, eat wings, be happy.

Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here!
