They're certainly large and unusual in shape so they've got that going for them but the taste is inferior to any sandwich you might get for less than half the price at somewhere like M&S. Also the onion bun can barely hold itself together without falling apart and making a mess everywhere. Service is nice and speedy but it's not good enough to return to.

So glad we discovered this place. The breakfasts are amazing-classic English breakfast with two…read moreeggs, beans, sausage, ham, chips, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomato and toast. I also ordered the vegetarian version without ham or sausage. So delicious. The egg, bacon and cheese paninis are amazing too-very large portions. The cappuccino is perfect. There is seating inside and outside but they do a large carry-out business. They have lots of prepared food, salads and sandwiches at a counter in the front. Worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood and looking for breakfast or brunch.

It's nostalgic and the best sandwich shop. When I studied abroad in London back in 2006- I was so…read morelucky to live up the street and got to eat here everyday! I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty. No need a million toppings-

This is the best sandwich shop in the world and I look down on anyone that disagrees. Just kidding…read more The sandwiches and employees here are pretty amazing though- as are the prices! I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice. If you want to save money and are in the area-maybe to go visit the V&A or another museum, come grab a quick meal to go here first and then have a picnic!

As a tourist, noticed the UK has several of these cafes where you can pick up a sandwich on-the-go,…read moreprepared fresh daily and already wrapped -- Eat, Pret-a-Manger and M&S. I loved all of them. This Eat location was next door to our hotel at the Harte & Garter - very convenient as we needed something quick before heading to work. They had sandwiches, wraps, soups and hot dishes. Service was very friendly. Space is small inside but there are also some tables outside. ROAST CHICKEN SANDWICH - £3.95 Rustic French baguette w/ roast chicken and herb salad (arugula). The baguette was a little hard to eat (it's rustic bread, after all) but overall, enjoyed my sandwich very much. Also got a water bottle (£1.69). Overall great option if you need a quick bite. My co-workers enjoyed their sandwiches too.

Outside the deli/cafe there are large letters spelling EAT, can't miss it. It was nice and convenient that they had a little section in the corner of the refrigerated sandwiches for kids meals. It included a sandwich, a fruit of choice and a cookie, sweet! Instantly my daughter was over the top excited about this. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun, yummm. We also picked up some salt and vinegar chips cuz we were in England, gotta have those. When proceeding to check out we notice they have pastries and all kinds of goodies. We opted for the chocolate hazelnut croissant. So good! Did not disappoint. They gave us nice, sturdy paper bags to carry our food to the bus.

Quick and convenient...though you do stand around looking like a numpty as they make your sandwich so its a good place to start talking to some random next to you. I usually go for the Ciabatta Schnitzel (Breaded chicken escalope, roast ham, provolone cheese, lemon juice)...but then I am a creature of habbit. Forgot to say this is a chain with just two premises currently.

This is simple, unfussy food that let the flavor of the ingredients come through, and frankly some of the best food I've had in London. In New York City, our regular burger spot is a tiny spot in Nolita -- called Ruby's, funnily enough. That one was run by Australian surfers though! I feel so lucky to have found my London Ruby, so I can have my burgers and chicken avocado salads here, too. The space on Charlotte Rd is tiny -- three little tables and a small counter area -- and seems to cater to the local lunch crowd and some regulars that drop by on Saturdays. It's charming and low-key. All this, and the prices are great -- £5.50 for the steak sandwich, £6 for the burger. [My only complaint has been that they're not open past 3pm or on Sundays -- but this a complaint no more, as Ruby has opened another branch in Hoxton Square. This location is larger and more like a restaurant, with restaurant hours. It's currently byob and the menu doesn't have the burger yet -- but my favorite steak sandwich is there, as are the great prices. So, so happy! (Hey, I'm enthusiastic about my food!)

We both got the BB (Brunos' breakfast) for 13 £ and it is a lot of food. They give you two pieces of buttered toast and tea with milk as a part of the meal. The BB is a lot of food - an egg, two pieces of bacon, a large sausage, two hashbrowns, a bubble and squeak (mashed potatoes with peas/green veggie patty), and baked beans. I added mushrooms but honestly was not needed. Highly recommend coming here for a hearty breakfast and welcoming service.
