This was one of my top favorite meals in London. £13 (less than $17) for some of the juiciest tender steak SIGN ME UP. Our entire group ordered a steak each with different sauces. The steak was medium rare which was perfect, each piece was tender and juicy. I got the chili pepper mayo sauce was like smoked mayo, a little heavy. I got to try a bit of peppercorn and that was delicious, I'll probably get this next time. And let me tell you about the sides, my goodness were they good, I loved them all, each was so flavorful. The crispy bone marrow literally tasted like bacon, I LOVED it. Pair it with the steak and it's an amazing combo. The Mac and cheese was also loaded, definitely getting these two again next time. And the price for the steak was a steal! I've paid more for steak that didn't taste as good as this. This is a must try restaurant and if there is an opportunity I will most definitely come back. Service was ok, at one point we couldn't find our waiter. The inside was a nice sit down restaurant. read more

My coworker recommended this spot ahead of my trip to London. After doing research on Flat Iron's various locations, reviews, and reservation availability, this location was the best and a lot closer to where I was staying so walking distance was a plus. Even 3 weeks before traveling across the pond, the only dinner reservation availability was from 1-4pm... I opted for the 4pm slot. This location has 3 floors and is right next to Carnaby Street which was perfect - eat a good meal and head down Carnaby to do some shopping next! Keep in mind, there is no parking available so it's best to Uber/taxi or walk to the restaurant. Upon arriving, there was a small wait as there was a group before us. We were taken down to the bottom floor next to the bar. While there were several tables filled, it took about 10-12 minutes before we got water and order taken. You're given a complimentary cup of popcorn to share at the table. For our group of 4, half ordered the flat iron steak (14.0), the other half ordered the wagyu steak of the day (22.0), 1 creamed spinach (3.5), 1 truffled macaroni cheese (5.5), and 1 crispy bone marrow garlic mash (4.0) all to share, 2 rose lemonades (3.5 each), and 1 bottled coke (3.5). This totaled to 107.84 with the optional donation and 12.5% optional service charge. What peeves me is that they already include it on your bill and if you don't want it, you have to ask them to take it off, which can be an awkward conversation. If it's optional, leave it up to the customer to say to add it to the bill or not. The menu is simple. When the steak comes, it's laid out on a wooden board and not of great size, but a reasonable portion for the amount you're paying for. Overall it was tender, a bit between medium and medium rare. The steak of the day is definitely more fatty and tastier than the standard so definitely recommend ordering one of those to try the difference. The sides were very delightful and delicious! My favorite was the truffle mac and cheese and garlicky mash. Consider ordering sides with your meal - you can't go wrong! Once your meal concludes, you'll receive tiny cleaver charms to redeem for a complimentary scoop of ice cream on the main floor. It was a nice way to end the meal - during this visit, they had Tahitian Vanilla with French Brown Butter. You can choose either a sugar cone or cup. Overall, this is a great inexpensive dining experience if you're visiting from out of town! read more

This is hands down, my absolute favorite restaurant in London. I wandered here by chance three years ago and had to come back. Seriously, I booked plane tickets, a hotel, tubed my way on over to get this food again. I am not exaggerating. You MUST make this a priority. All those buildings and museums aren't going anywhere. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

Amazing flat iron steak, cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, full of flavor. I paired it with the green salad and mashed potatoes. There's a few locations - this one is located in the heart of SOHO. They even give you a tiny little hatchet at the end of your dinner so you can collect a free ice cream cone. I kept my little hatchet, so some day, when I come back, I'll return for my ice cream :) read more

Came here because it was highly recommended by friends and Yelp. For a group of 4 we waited about 30 minutes on a Thursday night at about 9 PM. We got the regular flat iron steak and a Scottish bavette to compare. We also got the mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, chips, and spinach. The steaks were cooked correctly (medium well), but I wish they weren't so tough and chewy. It didn't help their knife was so unbelievably DULL. The bavette was slightly more tender than the normal flat iron. The complimentary ice cream was the best thing I ate there. Service was nice and quick. read more

Food was very good and the staff was very, very kind and patient with us tourists as well as the tables around us that were filled with people that were obviously not from there. Extremely welcoming crew and a nice vibe overall. LOVE the mugs being chilled to have the beer extra cold when it's put on the table! read more

I fully admit I didn't know what to expect from Flat Iron but I was very pleasantly surprised. First off your only main is a flat iron steak but these guys understand how to season and cook it. It came out about as close to perfect as you could get a flat iron steak. The sides were amazing too and the wine seemed reasonably priced. If you haven't tried them yet - give them a shot. read more

Perfect for a quick bite! Relatively inexpensive and you leave feeling full without the heaviness. Get the bone marrow garlic mash!!! read more

Wow!!! This restaurant was amazing -- great food, atmosphere, drinks, and service. They first gave us complementary popcorn which was a nice surprise. I got the Tony's margarita and it was hands down the best margarita I've ever had. I also got the steak and split three sides- truffle Mac and cheese, fries, and an eggplant dish with mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes. All were AMAZING! Everything was reasonably priced and the staff was super friendly and nice. And at the end the gave you free ice cream! 10/10! read more

Yummy meal on a rainy day. Took our name and wait was less than thirty minutes. We were taken downstairs to our table, and know seating is tight amongst the tables. Although they are busy, food came out quickly. There is a board with specials, but was told most were not available. Party of four enjoyed dinner. At the end, you get a tiny cleaver to exchange for an ice cream cone upstairs. read more

This is a chain of restaurants located in central London and their motto is bringing affordable tasty steak to everyone. I love this place so much, that I came here twice to eat during my visit to London. I went to the Covent Garden branch because it was in a great location and within walking distance to major attractions and theaters. This location has two floors and with the restrooms located downstairs. As I sat down, the staff served popcorn and water. I was excited when I saw the small cleaver as cutlery and couldn't wait to use it. I ordered the sirloin for 20GP the first time and then on my 2nd visit, I ordered the flatiron steak 13GP. Have to say the flatiron steak was deliciously juicy and flavorful and was better tasting than the sirloin, which did have some fat. Have to say, I ordered the pepper garlic sauce which I hardly used during the first time. There are 3 sauces available for 1GP each but the coarse salt was enough to flavor the beef and to appreciate fully, the beefiness of the steak. I ordered Chips fried in beef dripping, sooo good and crispy. Also, the aubergines was very flavorful and tasty. After the meal, 2 small cleavers accompanied the bill. This was the fun part!!! You may keep the cleavers as souvenirs or exchange them for caramel ice cream coated with chocolate chips on the way out or if you're too full for dessert, you may come back anytime later to exchange your mini cleavers. What a lovely way to end a meal, with a complimentary dessert. Don't forget to wave to the butcher on the way out, next to the ice cream, as he prepares to cut the meat into great steaks. BTW, if you love the mini cleavers, they're available for sale 15GP. I regret not getting one but will do on my next trip. Cozy ambience, friendly staff and I loved the gimmick with the dessert at the end of your meal. Absolutely, will be back for sure. read more

After a long walk at the British Museum, wife demanded steak. This place has good reviews from fellow yelpers so we gave it a try. It is small, cosy, and we got seated quickly. The staff is polite but very efficient. The food came really fast. The only steak on the menu was the flat iron, I ordered the peppercorn sauce. It was make perfectly and pre cut for easy enjoyment. The baked eggplant side with cheese as also pretty good. The larger the waiter recommended was nice as well. The price was pretty reasonable. Overall a great experience. read more

11.1o.19 My friend wanted to try this cutesy little place so we arrived right before the line formed so we got to be seated right away. Lucky us. The restaurant is very small and the seats are very tight. It was almost like sitting on the plane economy class. We got a middle seat. Hahah And they'll bring you water and a free popcorn as you are seated. The menu is very simple and it was posted on the wall near where you get seated. We both got the flat iron steak. Yup, the one and only signature. They will have ribeyes as another alternative choice. My friend got the medium rare which what I usually get. But bc of a health concerns, I can't eat raw meat so I ordered a medium well. It was still pretty good. It was flavorful with a nice chew. It comes with a small side salad. We also got some market green of the day, we picked broccoli over cabbage. My friend also got a cocktail drink and it was alright. The service was good. Then the bill. The meal itself wasn't much. Then again, the meal portion wasn't that big either. I felt like I could have gone for a second round. I am such a fatty. :) And I noticed there was an "Optional Donation" added to the bill. I just found it funny since it was optional, yet, already being included on the bill. Hahaha Anyway, get medium rare. I am sure it'll be more tasty or try tht ribeye! read more

We wanted to get a good steak without paying a fortune and I found this chain restaurant on Yelp. The service from the hostess stand, to our servers and other staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful. They bring you popcorn to start. The flat iron steak was tender and tasty and cooked to perfection. It comes already sliced with an adorable small cleaver to assist in cutting smaller pieces. For sides we had a salad in a cup(I wasn't a fan of the dressing), cabbage(amazing), and chips(basic). Our meal was very reasonable. We joked with the staff that we were the oldest people in the restaurant. All I can say is a lot of twenty somethings here have very good taste! read more

One of the best bangs for your buck in the entire city!! I got an entire steak - cooked to perfection - for £13, which includes a snack of popcorn to start and an ice cream to finish. The quality and taste of the steak and other menu items compared to their inexpensive cost is unbelievable. I may just be used to U.S. pricing, but a meal of this quality would have been 3-4x more in the U.S. than it is in London. I always make sure to stop here when I'm in the city and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious, reliable, quality, and cost efficient dinner spot. The surrounding area is also very nice, filled with shops, sweets, and pubs to check out. I'm usually somewhat disappointed with British food options but this place is always spot on and more than satisfying. read more

Wonderful experience, food, ambience. Located from Yelp foodie list and it was a great surprise!

This is a very interesting place. Imagine, waiting an hour to get in, and finding one thing on the menu. But I must say, it was the best flatiron steak I've ever had. The fries were so amazing. I had to ask how they made them, and was told they fried them in the Juices from the steaks. Incredibly good. I don't know what else to say but this restaurant should get five stars. read more

I really hate to say OMG because I'm really too old for that term but really it has to be said. Place is larger than it looks from the outside as it is multiple levels but space is a bit cozy. Really friendly and helpful service. Pleasantly helpful and patient when educating dolts like me who don't know the difference in cuts of meat. Fantastic food. Great flavors, juicy and not long waits (or at least when O got there). It was pretty easy for smaller 1-2 party due to availability of seats at the downstairs bar stools. Now I am a particular fan of cream spinach. Best cream spinach I've ever had read more

Flat Iron was a highlight of my time visiting London! The concept is so simple but delivered with pure excellence! You get a high-quality steak for a great value. I recommend making a reservation or going early in the evening because the restaurant gets packed quickly. We had to wait for 45 minutes to get a table around 7 PM--the wait was totally worth it though! My husband and I both got flat iron steaks with different sauces. We got mashed potatoes and french fries. Everything was so delicious! I would die if this concept crossed the pond to the States! read more

We had planned to visit a different restaurant nearby, that was incredibly rude - so we changed plans. We happened upon Flat Iron and after a wait, were led downstairs. This place is just adorable and filled with charm. We were given tasty popcorn to start and started noticing the adorable cleavers. Our family loves the steaks and burgers and service. Everyone here is so cool and welcoming. After dinner we received adorable cleaver charms and a delicious gelato. Every bit of this was delightful and such a memorable experience. read more

It was Halloween and I was craving a steak! Flat iron showed up on good ole yelp and we headed over at lunchtime. There was maybe less than a 5 minute wait and we were led to a table upstairs. The server was super helpful and explained the menu to us. The menu is on the wall, btw. For around 10gbp, you get a decent sized steak with a salad. We opted for one of those and also their special of the day, the ribeye. Both were cooked a perfect medium rare. We also added on dripping chips and kale with butter. You could definitely tell the difference between the 2 steaks because of the quality and fat content. The ribeye will always win, IMO. Haha. Peppercorn sauce was my choice. For dessert, chocolate mousse. I loved the butcher knife at the table which I actually used because the ribeye did not come out already sliced. And guess what...it's not just a prop. It works! For under 40gbp, we had a delicious lunch and excellent service. read more

Steak was done nicely. Fries and spinach were good. Service was severely lacking. Our server forgot our drinks and we had to ask for them mid-dinner.

You know a spot is good when they specialize in a one-item menu: The Flat Iron Steak (£11.00) with a house leaf salad side. Of course you also get a couple sides you can add on, which we did as well. We opted for the Dripping Chips Batch #128 (£3.50) and Creamed Spinach (£3.00). Both were delicious with the creaminess of the spinach and the crispiness of the chips making perfect companions to the steak. Don't forget to add on sauce for the steak as we both chose the Peppercorn sauce for an extra £1.00 --yum! I loved the presentation with the steak spread and even a cute, little cleaver although you don't even need since the steak is pre-cut for you. The medium rare came out perfectly pink on the inside for a delicious piece of meat. I was so happy that this was my first meal in London! The side salad was refreshing, but came in stocks of leafy greens that I found interesting. To pair with the entire meal, I had a Passion Fruit Fizz (£3.00). It was a bit on the sour side, but so authentic to the passion fruit flavor with a sliced of real passion fruit in my drink! Flat Iron is a must in London, for sure! P.S. They also have a downstairs dining area and restroom below, so don't be fooled by how tiny the restaurant may seem. read more

We went to this tiny little eatery based on other Yelp reviews and glad we did. They have a limited menu, only 2 cuts of steak and they were perfect. Flavorful and tender with approximately 4 sides available that were delicious. A nice touch is the popcorn appetizer on the table and the soft serve ice cream after. Seating space is kind of limited so you may wind up shearing a table, a nice way to meet new people. A true gem to have a meal at, you will enjoy this one. read more
