WOW, this place is delicious!…read more Our family stopped in London for the last part of our cruise. After touring St. Paul's Cathedral, we were pretty hungry. We found The Fat Bear via Yelp!, and decided to give it a try. There were so many things on the menu that looked really good, but I had been craving chicken and waffles. The waffles were crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside -- the chicken, cooked perfectly, too. The syrup they serve it with is incredible. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in London! Carson C. Visalia, California

My partner and I visited on New Years Eve. I'm not sure if this is always the case, but the music playing was primarily American rock - like The Eagles, Neil Young, etc. It's fine, but not very in line with the classic, upscale feel. The bartending staff was top notch. I had a martini and my partner had a house Manhattan, both were perfect. We shared the iceberg wedge to start, a personal favorite, and this one was spot on. Great bleu cheese dressing, still warm lardons, and crispy, fresh iceberg lettuce. For mains, I ordered the aged Irish ribeye and chose to have it "gorgonzola encrusted". This was the first misstep. First of all, the grass fed beef stands on its own, I would never choose to add a sauce, but this was encrusted, right? Not so much. Here's the definition of encrusted from the Oxford dictionary: "Covered or decorated with a HARD surface layer". What I received was a steak smothered in (a very lovely) gorgonzola SAUCE with some bacon and spring onions. Had I known it was a sauce, I would have skipped it, or at the very least had it served on the side. Slightly disappointing, but the steak was perfectly medium rare and delicious. My partner ordered the hake. It was served with a prawn and a very tasty tarragon pesto. She said the pesto was the star. The fish was delicate and also well prepared. We shared sauteed spinach and roasted mushrooms, both delicious. For dessert we shared the banana and toffee mousse. This was the second misstep. This was a tasty dessert, but it was definitely not mousse. It was a very small sliver of banana bread (?). It had strong banana flavor and was served with rum raisin ice cream which was nice. It was also thankfully a very small portion as we were stuffed. Overall, a very decadent and elegant meal to ring in the new year!

Service was quick and personal, the atmosphere was great and we had some amazing food again. My filet was spectacular and thats comparing to many top steakhouses in the US and Australia.

True, it looks like a pretty…read moretypical chain restaurant but Germany's most popular fast food does not really exist in its most splendid form outside of their country, and certainly not in the USA, so I was willing to try it - I was pleasantly surprised! The ordering system here is slicker than I would expect for such a small chain so I suspect this is some kind of VC-backed operation that is rapidly expanding. It has a touch-screen system ala McDonalds and getting your delicious Doner is painless. The taste was, from my memory, fairly similar to the kebabs and wraps I've had in Klon and Berlin but I'll have to return to confirm. I Tried a chicken and beef classic Doner kebab sandwich and it had a variety of delicious aspects: the beef and chicken were perfect kebab sliced juicy cuts of very thin meat, the vegetables were very fresh, the bread was light and tasty, and the sauces make the whole thing; love both the garlic and yoghourt! Better than expected!

My friend ordered a breakfast stack, which came stacked, and she was disappointed, (so just know when they say stack they mean the food is literally stacked). The coffee is fantastic, but they only have size small to go cups. If I could offer a word of improvement to the establishment, I would say, get some large cups, and add a large to go coffee charge to the menu.

Again, mixed feelings about the breakfast club. Didn't realize it was a chain until I went on Yelp…read more Upon entering, my boyfriend and I were greeted and seated immediately. But afterwards, things went down hill. I saw online that behind the Smeg fridge was probably a speakeasy, but when I asked they immediately turned me away with an explanation. Service was prompt but no one checked on our table, or even asked if we had any food allergies. But others around us were serviced and asked these questions. We ended up finishing our food and had to ask for the check as well. I ordered the greasy spoon. I wasn't crazy about the sausage but everything else tasted good and my boyfriend ordered huevos rancheros. It's a very casual type of restaurant. Nice stop for breakfast overall.

It's a mixed experience, and different to the US, but the bottom line is the food is still to die for. Sweet Chick don't do reservations. Which is fine - the US locations are tiny, you wait which creates a buzzy atmosphere for others, etc. The London version copies this. But when we visited for an early dinner Saturday, the venue was half empty. Hoping to eat quickly, we were told to sit at the bar, for "at most a half hour". We did this. During this time, achingly hipster bartenders slowly made cocktails from cheat sheets. The place is new, I get it, but the staff at the front end are there to bring you in. The hostess continually seated larger parties ahead of us, and at times just hung out while tables were available. This is super annoying - it's clearly part of the process, and designed to get you to spend. There was no flexibility to it, and the experience wasn't welcoming so much as just awkward. BUT - once we were seated, it became a totally different experience. Lovely, attentive service for a start. Help with choosing menu items if you want it, fast delivery that doesn't rush you, and the food...Goddamn the food. Carbs on carbs on carbs. Gooey mac and cheese with a hint of spice and crunchy crumb coating...delicious melt in the mouth biscuits (savoury scones to us) with a salt and herb crust and about a tub of butter in each... and all that before the main course. Chicken and waffles is the staple, and more than filling. Two chicken pieces, deep fried but not greasy, with a waffle. It isn't fancy, and doesn't need to be. It's just delicious and well made. Prices are reasonable - mains are in the £13-£24 range. Cocktails are nicely varied, made with cheap liquor which is a shame, but still pretty tasty. And maybe if they can iron out the intro experience to make it feel less like every other London restaurant and more like the NY joint, it would be a five star experience. Until then, put up with weird intro, it's worth it for the food. Just leave your belt at home.
