For anyone considering eating here, I would recommend you review all your options. I'm quite…read moredisappointed in my experience. Food was underwhelming and basic. Things were looking promising when I saw a vegetarian breakfast offered in lieu of the traditional English breakfast. I was drawn to the dish because it offered spinach and hash browns in lieu of all the meat in its partner dish. My friend ordered the regular Full English and her dish came out well before mine. I waited roughly 10-15 minutes longer for something that would appear to take less cook time. The plate came out and I noticed there was no spinach. I was not offered a choice as a substitute nor made aware of the situation. Long story short I ended up ordering the Full English and they forgot my black pudding. Waited additional time for that as well. Then they forgot I asked for the bill. Overall, I would not recommend it, especially if you're on a time schedule and multiple mishaps occurred. No cash accepted and 12.5% service charge automatically added to the final bill with the usual VAT.

Hey, Buddies Restaurant in Northampton. We need to talk…read more Though a September 11th memorial service in Manhattan is *technically* very American, it is maybe not the best idea to show video footage of a September 11th memorial service on the TVs of a 'fun' American themed diner. Buddies Restaurant, people reading this will no doubt think I'm joking. Do you know why they will think I am joking? Because it is completely insane to use September 11th memorial service footage spliced together with clips from the Simpsons to add background colour to your theme diner. No restaurant owner would do that. Unless something about people crying reminded that restaurant owner of cheese fries. (Note to customers: the overpriced food takes forever to arrive, which gives you plenty of time for your stomach to wrench whilst you contemplate the deep emotional scars of national tragedy.)

My first night in London (a mere 3 hours after getting off the plane and severely jet lagged) my…read moregroup and I decided to pop into The Diner because we were all hungry and exhausted. As Americans, we were interested in seeing the English take on a lot of our classic American diner dishes. I had the chocolate chip pancakes, my sister had cheese fries and macaroni and cheese (she has an intense love for cheese) and our friend had the burger with seasoned fries. I think the best things on the table were the pancakes and the cheese fries. It seemed to be ACTUAL cheese melted onto the fries instead of the fake "nacho" cheese that we get in the states -- even though the fake cheese is also delicious. The macaroni and cheese was a bit dry and in need of a bit more flavor, as was the burger. The pancakes? Awesome. They came out warm, fluffy, topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a side of butter and maple syrup.

At this, they fail. Any Denny's will provide a better experience than this, without the London prices. Some complaints: after asking for sweetener for my coffee, I was informed they only have sugar or agave syrup. I asked for an omelette, and I was informed they were too busy to make omelettes, even though the menu offers scrambled eggs any way you like. How time consuming is an omelette? So I revised my order for 3 scrambled eggs with a side of bacon. They brought out two plates, with 2 eggs on each plate! The service was slow and unfriendly. This might be acceptable if it was a 24-hour diner, and I was there at 4 am with the clubbers and other freaks sobering up for the journey home. It was noon! I sense the people dining here were part of the bleed-over traffic from a nearby Breakfast Club, as there was no queue for a table at The Diner, unlike the competition on a Saturday morning. Apparently, this location is part of a chain. America isn't very popular these days, so these Londoners have a lot of cheek destroying the idea of one of the few good things you are usually guaranteed in the States: a friendly breakfast diner where you can get a bleedin' omelette when you ask! (One positive: they serve bottomless filtered coffee. There is that.)

If you still…read moredecide to go after reading this I warn you to wear layers as even on a hot day it's freezing in there if you sit anywhere near the air conditioning. We had a look at the menu and the waitress came over to take our order. 2 diet cokes with no ice, bbq chicken wings to start, crispy chicken burger with twister fries and 4 onion rings on the side for me and a classic burger 10oz with cheese no tomato, fries and onion rings. We waited a while for our drinks when they came there was ice but the waitress just dumped them and ran off before we could say anything. We just drank them. Our chicken wings came, they were very hot but tasty & crispy. Soft drinks, tea & coffee are refillable. When our meals came my chicken was hot and crispy and fries were tasty. My partner was trying to work out how to eat his burger and he went to cut it in half to make it easier to eat. I spotted something red on his burger bun. I poked my fork in and fished out a very thin slice of tomato. He can't eat tomato due to a medical condition and itches like crazy for days after eating it. He was not happy but the waitresses were the other end of the diner. He asked the grill behind the grill to change it. I think she was just going to change the bun but he asked for s fresh one. She said it wasn't on the ticket but we had asked. I carried on. This was unacceptable to forget two things. We didn't see our original waitress again and another waitress then came over to give the new meal. When he finally tucked in he said it wasn't very nice. So he only had the chicken wings, a couple of bites of a burger and few fries. The second waitress came over to ask how his burger was and he said not nice. She apologised and said she would take it off the bill but before I could say I had an OK Rocks Club card (15% off food) she'd gone. So when she came with the bill she had to redo it to take 15% off. Left very disappointed. Used to love a cheeky burger and a pancake stack and maybe a dollar shake but will think twice before coming here!!
