So accommodating to us. Americans for a return visit. I grew up in london and had my son, his wife and 2 young daughters. Food was great, service accommodating. Would definitely go again next time we return. read more

The restaurant is in a nice location, very cute, modern, and clean. The waiters were all very friendly and helpful. The food was okay, but someone in the kitchen must love mayo. Our chicken sandwich was covered in it, to the point we had to scrape quite a bit off just to eat it. The mac n cheese balls were good, but also sitting in a bit of spicy mayo. It just seemed like a bit much. Good experience, just a bit off on the food. read more

If by "dirty," you mean, dirty, dirty carb-fest, then yes. I have to admit, I came in to see what was really so dirty about these bones, but I stayed because of the cocktail menu and the sheer monstrosity of the burgers they serve here. And, let me tell you, choosing an option may be one of the hardest things you ever do. Which is why I recommend coming with a few friends so you get to try different things from the menu. The space is big and loud, with a nice, sizable patio in the esteemed Kingly Court, which is essentially a giant food court surrounded by various restaurants serving up all different types of food, tucked snuggly away in Carnaby Street. The tables, however, are a bit small for my tastes. If just one person can fill up the entire space of the table with her one meal, you either need a bigger table, or smaller dishes. (I'd go for the former). They have a full gamut of delicious cocktails with a unique twist on old and new favorites. Trying to go on the lighter side this time, I went with the Mutt's Nutts (don't ask) cocktail, mixed with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, apple, cinnamon, and vanilla-infused maple syrup, angostura bitters, and lemon. Let me tell you, it may be one of the most well-balanced cocktails I've ever had the privilege to drink. Fruity, sweet- without being too sweet- not too overpowering on the alcohol... perfect. The rest sounded pretty amazing, as well, but when in doubt, go for something new, amiright? The food, while I would hardly call it healthy, is a stick-to-your-ribs experience that may or may not become an unforgettable "morning after" experience, if you know what I mean. These burgers are not for the faint of heart. Literally. Being the warrior that I am, I asked them to bring me the most impressive burger they had, which the server called 'The Mac Daddy.' I decided to accompany it with a side of cheesy truffle fries, for good measure. You know, in case the double dry-aged steak & bone marrow beef patties, topped with pulled beef short rib, Mac & Cheese, and espresso-spiked BBQ sauce wasn't enough. What the hell was I thinking? I barely got through half of the darn thing, and even then, trying to finish it at home was not enough for me to finish it all off. The rest of the menu is just as impressive, and no, not all of it will kill you. They have small plates like Padron Peppers and Cheeseburger Dumplings, sides and exactly 2 salads, as well as a few unexpected additions like Fried Chicken & Waffles, ribs, & steaks. Okay, so no, it's not the healthiest food you'll ever eat, but the quality is well-worth a splurge once in a while. You can definitely tell that the ingredients are top-notch, and they pride themselves on buying from only sustainable UK suppliers. So, even though the food might not be good for your heart, knowing that you're dining in a responsible establishment can be good for the soul. Enjoy! read more

We landed on this place for dinner based on location and when we couldn't get into anything decent in the area. This place was busy as well, so we thought it would be a good option. We were seated pretty quickly, but that's pretty much the only highlight of this place. The fries and chicken fingers I had were pretty bland and reminded me of cafeteria quality food. I'd pass on eating here again. read more

I already tried most of the places in Kingly Court and I couldn't wait to try Dirty Bones ! For a burger addict like me, it's a must-eat place ! I have to admit, I almost gave out when the waitress told me it would be an one hour wait for a table. Never mind, we had some cocktails while waiting ( I already knew what I wanted to eat - the Mac Daddy obviously- and I wasn't ready to give up) After we got our table, I have to admit the service was pretty fast. The burger was on point : deliciousness coming from the pulled beef and the pasta and cheese, nom nom nom My friends liked their cheeseburger even if they said it had "nothing special" and they almost asked for a second Mac and cheese side because it was so good and cheesy. Overall, it's the perfect place to try something new (pasta in a burger, genius) if you're not scared by the waiting list. read more

Dirty Bones - Carnaby Street - The cook - Cocktail Bars Near Me - London, XGL

We started by sharing chicken wings glazed in lemon, topped with chilli and spring onion (£6) and deep fried mac balls with DB sweet chilli sauce (£5.50). The chicken wings were a decent portion of 5 half wings, and the citrus flavour was different. The mac balls were incredible. For my main I went for The Burger (£8.50) to which I added beer cheese and bacon (which added an extra £2.50). This was a good burger. We also shared a portion of Double Dirty Fries (£6.50) - skinny fries with DB BBQ sauce, cactus salsa and pulled pork. Cocktails are also good - I went for the Top Dog (£8) which comprised of Finlandia Vodka, fresh strawberry, chambord, lemon and Jeio Prosecco. Served long, it was refreshing and well balanced. Lost a star for slow service. read more

Lovely new space on top of kingly court. Seems to be gathering pace here. BBQ Korean chicken good. Bit too clean for me tho. Hot dog is OK. Nothing too special. Deep fried mac and cheese balls are the best by far tho. And epitomise 'dirty' bones. Cash machine want working which is a pity but first day nerves on soft launch understandable. read more

Dirty Bones has always been a 'to do' restaurant, and the combination of tasty food, cocktails and the best kinda company had me excited from the moment I got out of bed. From 5-7pm at Dirty Bones, two of my favourite words come into play. HAPPY HOUR. Ohh yes. All cocktails are just a fiver each! I had the Littlest Hobo - made with Bombay Sapphire gin, passion fruit syrup, Wyld Wood cider and lemon. Definitely my favourite of the two, it was fruity and refreshing. I also had a Djinn Djinn - with more Bombay Sapphire Gin (yes, I like gin), Martini Rosso, fresh grapefruit, raspberries, cucumber and Ting (the lemon drink). It was quite nice, but the cucumber was really overpowering. For my main I gave in to temptation (very easily) and ordered the chicken and waffles. The (slow-cooked) chicken was really tender and tasty, with a nice crisp coating - and the waffles were well cooked. I'd say Dirty Bones' chicken and waffles were better than Q Grill's, but not quite as good as Bird's. Which is kinda fair, as Bird specialises in chicken, whereas Dirty Bones also have some amazing looking burgers, hot dogs and BRUNCH. As well as my main, I also tried out some of the mac'n'cheese, which was REALLY rich, creamy and cheesy; and some chilli fries. As in, they had actual chillis on them. Tasty. I definitely want to delve a bit more into their menu, as it all sounds and looks pretty epic. The only negatives of the night was that one person's chicken was undercooked, and a REALLY slow service for some of the cocktails. Otherwise, for £20 for my dinner and two cocktails, it's an affordable place to eat with a vibrant atmosphere. read more

Had lunch booked for 1:00 yesterday with my boyfriend and received an email 10 minutes before our booking saying that there was problems with the kitchen. As a result they moved our reservation to their sister branch in Soho. We walked all the way to Soho only to be told that they were fully booked until 8. Absolutely fuming. read more

Hard to find but worth the effort. Great Mac daddy burger and even better Vegan Mac Daddy. We liked the fried chicken. The Gem Salad was delicious. Cheese burger dumplings weren't as good as we hoped. Fun decor. read more

The food here was decent, nothing exceptional. The service on the other hand... was inconsiderate. We were seated right by an area where all the employees congregate to chit chat. We ate our lunch with servers screeching and loudly talking next to our table. We even got up to fill up our own water...The servers were sitting on their phone constantly and hovering by our table, it was uncomfortable to say the least. The restaurant was completely empty and yet there was no one at the hostess counter to greet new patrons. As a service worker myself, I felt embarrassed for whomever owns/runs the restaurant. Please work on your professionalism. read more

I emailed the people at Dirty Bones before going to ask about gluten free options, and was provided with a list that, although small, provided a lot of variety, so I was very excited for my visit there yesterday. Unfortunately, when I double checked with the staff, they pointed out that many of the items were fried in the same oil as the gluten-filled food, so I could not actually eat anything, apart from the steak and vegetables. This wouldn't be a huge issue, because I am used to having limited options, but was quite disappointing after specifically asking and indicating that it was a serious dietary need. Also the man who went over the menu with me came over and initiated conversation with "you're not celiac, so..." which was a bit weird because.. I am celiac? Kind of a weird assumption to make about someone without speaking to them! My main gripe was that the menu is not annotated for dietary restrictions, EXCEPT for the fried chicken batter. It is blatantly labelled "GF", which is quite frankly untrue given the cooking methods used. At a stretch I would say it could possibly be labelled "NGCI" for the fad dieters, but certainly would call up some issues if Coeliac UK were ever to check up on their labelling as it can be very dangerous for people who may assume it is safe. Apart from that, my partner enjoyed her meal of the Mac Daddy with skinny fries, and my steak with collard greens was also quite nice. It just would have been better to have known about the severely limited options before going to the restaurant (after specifically asking about them beforehand!) read more

For what Dirty Bones is, it's great. Some nice dirty American style food to get stuck into! We went for some Mac and Cheese balls and Calamari to start-both of which were really good! Mac n Cheese seems to be popping up on everyone's menu at the moment, but they fitted in perfectly here! For the mains-chicken (obviously) and the burger. The chicken we lovely, not to greasy and really tasty. No bones (ironic) in ours made it even more delicious! The burger was average but still good. We only went for it to make sure we tried as much as we could. On the sides-some chill fries-these were a bit of a let down. I wanted them covered in chilling sauce, cheese etc etc. but it was just a bowl of fries with some chill flakes and a pot of sauce. This is an easy fix and hopefully one they sort out. Drinks wise-get yourself booked in for happy hour, decent cocktails and a good price for the location. We had a meal for 2, with drinks for about £30 per person, you won't get much better than that in Carnaby! If you want a romantic, sit down, amazing meal this is not for you. If you want to get messy, have a laugh and eat some decent food at the same time...get yourself booked in! read more

I wish I was living in London so I could have more of their Brunch! We were there last Saturday and had a wonderfull time and wonderful brunch. My husband took the Benedict burger and the sauce in it was just amazing. As for me, I ate the Avocado and poached egg and it was fantastic too (will try to do the same home) The place feels homy and the staff is nice. Prices are okay too considering being in center London. Will come back if I can read more

This place is pretty average. Average drinks, average food, and average service. A lot of staff here in their late teens / early twenties who are more pre-occupied with each other and their phones than the patrons. It took 20 minutes before someone stopped by and take our order despite half the place being 3/4 filled with customers. Drinks were not that impressive - too much salt / spices to be enjoyable. We got some finger food - again pretty heavy on the salt. Overall just very mediocre. read more

Lives up to its name. Had a table for two on a Friday, and mains came out 10 minutes apart. The Ribs were extremely fatty (barely any meat, warm and undercooked) the Signature burger Macdaddy was a disappointment ( small burger, cold buns). The most fascinating thing when it arrived at the table were the chilli fries.... Which were French fries with finely chopped chilli peppers and a tiny cold pot of what tasted like a bland tomato soup on the side. ( bodeans, red dog saloon or any american style restaurant would have a very different definition for chilli fries) Won't be going back read more

Best Staff Service ever. We only waited 20mintues for a table on a Friday night which was nice. Though we would of been happy just sitting at the bar because the cocktails are amazing. The hot dogs and the mac Daddy burger are lush and even if you're a veggie - they do veggie hot dogs that are delicious. Sadly we couldn't get dessert because they didn't have any that night BUT they have us complimentary cookies and discount off the final bill - which was super nice of them. read more

Tried dirty bones for the first time last night. It was disappointing to say the the least. Three of the four of us ordered sandwiches. The waitress came back to say they only had two buns left and one of us needed to change our order which we did. When the food arrived the other two "sandwiches " were just the meat on a saucer. " sorry no buns" and walked away. When asked the manager she said she would give us a discount when the bill came. Wait for it... one whole pound. And then had the audacity to add gratuity to the bill. Will never return. No wonder it was the only place without a wait. read more

The food overall was good. I ordered a flat iron steak medium rare but when it arrived it was welll done. Apart from that everything that we ordered was as expected and tasted amazing. Drinks were exceptionally good, would definitely visit again. read more

We went to Dirty Bones for a friend's birthday brunch and obviously took advantage of the £15 bottomless Prosecco! The waiters were pretty good at filling up our glasses until we hit the 2 hour mark, but we definitely got our money's worth! The food was decent - a good number of veggie options alongside the meaty burgers! The sides definitely added a little something extra - the fries for example had a delicious spice on them. We did feel a little like we were overstaying our welcome after 2 hours but I'm sure I'll return again! read more

There is much to recommend here - lovely cocktails, nice staff, delicious waffles. Service was friendly but on occasion very slow (I believe there was a bar issue on the evening we were in), which was problematic given the two hour table limit! Great atmosphere (any place that breaks out Talib Kweli's 'Get By' on the playlist gets my vote!) and yummy food, so I'll definitely be returning. read more

Mmmm this place was tasty! We popped in with no booking very early on a Friday evening (6 on the dot) and there were plenty of walk in tables. Previously I have tried at 7ish and we couldn't get a table. Last minute booking is also no good so if you decide you want to go make sure you book early enough. Between 5 and 7pm Monday to Friday they have a brilliant happy hour where a few beers and a few cocktails are on BOGOF (like a lot of places the 2 cocktails have to be the same which is a shame - with a pouty face I did manage to get 2 different gin ones that I wanted to try; djin djin & the littlest hobo - both were delish but littlest hobo was my fav! Gin, lemon juice and passion fruit syrup made it so refreshing). We went straight for mains. I chose the Mac daddy which was so so good - chargrilled burger topped with Mac n cheese and short rib. The short rib main was good, so much meat, but pretty pricey. We went for 2 sides - Mac and cheese, which was filthy, mmmm and double dirty fries (topped with cactus salsa & pulled pork). The fries were really really nice but more refreshing with the delish salsa on top than 'dirty'. My boyfriend enjoyed them but thought they needed cheese! I just think they need to change the name! Needless to say we were so full we couldn't manage dessert - the menu didn't look anything special any ways! Overall I really recommend :) read more

Not quite there yet, seems to be a newly started restaurant, unable to piece everything together smoothly although they try very hard. The service was slow although friendly, the food took a long time and the food wasn't that good. The fried mac cheese balls were good but the hot dog was very tough. The waitress told us the fired chicken was cooked differently and would therefore be pink inside - quite off putting. The burger looked liked it would have been the best choice. The steak was terrible, ordered rare, came raw with fat and tough bits throughout. Nobody asked how the meal and was so at the end when a pile of disgusting meat was left, then the question was asked. Given a cocktail each which was a nice gesture but it certainly won't be enough to return anytime soon. read more

The fried chicken is amazing! It is so crispy and delicious with a nice light batter. it is definitely the best fried chicken I have had in a long time. The Mac and cheese balls are also tasty although ours were a bit on the cold side... One thing I wouldn't necessarily recommend are the miso ribs. I am a huge rib fan and also love miso but these had a very strange taste and weren't very special. We sat right near the kitchen which was a bit loud and but overall it was a nice experience. Note that it was the only place in Carnaby that did not have an extensive wait on a Monday night! read more

Amazing food every time I visit, the burgers are top! Deserts definitely worth keeping some space in your tummy too. The atmosphere is great and gives back exactly the style they're aiming for. Oh and besides these, very reasonable pricing! read more

Ok - pretty pricey for meal - chicken did not come with any sides and they charged for tap water - service was good
