Had a late brunch here. We ordered:…read moreTriangle burger kid's meal, Fries Halloumi cheese, Bbq chicken wings, Ginger beer and Hot chocolate. Service person (Souhaya) had a scowl on her face; it was not that busy. Unfortunately, tipping here was automatic at 12.5%. I would not have tipped her....she will have a bigger scowl on her face...hahahaha. Anyhow, the ambiance is very American; a diner complete with a car banquette seating. Bbq chicken wings were really good and flavorful. Burger sucked and not worth its £6 price. Halloumi cheese was mediocre not worth £5 for 3 small rectangular pieces. I would come back for the bbq wings.

The place looked very promising but failed to deliver on so many levels... First - the wait staff…read more There is a service charge tacked onto your bill automatically, but you still have to order yourself online (the ordering process is a bit tedious - with a sometimes failing web form ) Then you need to walk to the counter and pay there, as there is no way to pay for your meal online either (or - as would be expected - pay for it AFTER you finished it). The place does not accept American Express. But then, the food is also rather lackluster. With lemonade being sickeningly sweet and having an odd, chemical flavor. The Budweiser Prohibition Brew we ordered was replaced with Budweiser Zero - a much poorer alternative. The food is edible and we did not get sick after eating it, but it is on the more expensive side, given the quality. In particular, everything was very greasy - which is not always a bad thing with a diner, but here it was not great. My steak - ordered medium-rare, came medium/well-done which I had to ask to be replaced. It did get replaced with a (nearly) properly cooked (more solidly medium, not rarer) one. I wish it was 14 oz ribeye I paid for, not a thin 8 oz, though. The meat was tasty, a bit lacking the flavor, and the bone was large - not worth the price. The fries were good. The place is halal certified. So the bacon you will get is chicken-based. The environment is very "movie 1950s" - unlike the true diners, but also lacking the atmosphere of the 50s. It would be very enjoyable for its ambiance, if not for the fact, that the place is filled with families with young kids, and as such gets kindergarten loud at times. I had high hopes, but I did not get a satisfactory meal. I did not have a great experience, and I did not get a bargain. On the other hand, it was not dreadful and perhaps I would come back again, with friends, later in the evening, as I enjoyed the tacky decor. If only they served beer or wine to go with the meal...

This branch of Frankie & Benny's is located in the London Designer Outlet, which is a stone throw…read moreaway from Wembley Stadium. I called in here after watching my beloved Manchester City win the Carabao Cup, after defeating Arsenal 3-0 in the Final at Wembley, before I eventually ended up dining at Nando's nearby, I did have a poor experience at this store. Despite being around 4-5 years old now (The London Designer Outlet complex), this branch was a little old-fashioned in terms of decor inside the branch, it was quite large (which is needed due to the location at Wembley which has a capacity of 90,000 for events), but it didn't seem the nicest of places. The staff seemed a little rude and not very helpful, perhaps a little rushed rather than anything, and poor paper copies around the store saying they weren't accepting any vouchers or promotions due to the days' event also made the place seem a little tacky, although it's good to warn people about this, a more professional sign which looked better, and not just cheap would have been best. Due to issues with overall feel and staff here, hence also helping my decision to dine elsewhere, in this case I decided to go to Nando's instead (many other rivals nearby such as Pizza Express, Wagamama and Zizzi), I sadly feel this branch of Frankie and Benny's deserves a one-star rating.

Very bad experience. Unfortunately my daughter wanted…read morechicken nuggets and this was the only place had in desigerr outlet. Rude staff , bad quality food and expensive. They forced us to order specific expensive food without giving a relevant reason. Burger was worse than McDonald. It's not like TGI Friday or other chains. Pizza was awaful and it was fully burned , when. We asked them they told us that it's how it is and because it's busy time. We tried the calamari for starter but really I never had such badly fried calamari in my life. It was really awaful. At the end I would suggest everyone in designer outlet to avoid going to this place. Is I'll never ever go to this place which you pay and Alos need to receive the staff rudeness. They are Underpaid and working by force.

Nowadays we appreciate and build those bikes for the nostalgia and esthetic they bring to the table. The same can be said about Ace, it doesn't forget where it came from. The establishment feels as close as it would have back when it was originally operating. There's even a juke box in there (not sure if it works), but I doubt people still place bets if you can get to the next café before the song is over playing hahaha. The food is pretty decent, but I can only attest to the "quick bites" portion of the menu since I wasn't too hungry. I ordered the tuna sandwich with an iced coffee. They don't go well together, but I had to have coffee there! How can I go to ace café and not drink any of their coffee?! That's like saying you went to San Francisco and didn't visit the golden gate bridge. People were very kind and fun to converse with. No matter where you are the biker community is always friendly and that's what I can say about this place and their customers. They also host bike nights and events. I only wish that I could attend with a bike, but since they're stuck in the states I don't imagine that will happen any time soon. Ultimately I'm extremely happy I was able to go to the place that started café racers because those bikes are what got me into riding in the first place. I never would have thought I'd be able to visit, so you should too if you can!!

We got chatting to loads of bikers outside and one girl enthusiastically jumped on her bike to pose for me when she saw I had my camera with me. The Ace Cafe is THE motorcycle venue in London. The great thing about the Ace cafe is it's open 24 hours so when you are cruising about on your bike late at night you can always call in here for a coffee and meet some kindred spirits. The Ace Cafe website has a great archive of black and white photographs from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, which i love looking at. It's all about rock and roll and bikes really.

This nearly got itself 5 stars, but not quite there...yet!…read more Meat & Shake was on my radar as soon as it opened in Ealing, it's near enough my local! We finally got round to giving it a try, and in all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. The place has mixed reviews, and I had my reservations. I don't think my opinion of a place has changed as quickly as it did here when our starters came out! My doubt turned to joy at the first bite of the hot link sausage, closely followed by an amazing Buffalo wing...I knew we were on to a winner! Mains wise I had spotted one of the best looking ribs I had seen in a long time, so asked the waitress for the same thing. My partner went for a burger and we added chips (with balsamic and mayo)and mac n cheese. The ribs were as stunning as they looked, full of meat, juicy, tasty and all round heaven on a plate. The burger was good, but if you want the best burger in the world go elsewhere. it's the BBQ side of things that make Meat & Shake stand out so I really suggest sticking with that...chicken, ribs, hotdogs etc The chips were amazing, I had never even seen chips with balsamic on before, but after these will be covering them in it in the future! The Mac n cheese was average, nice but in all honesty we didn't' need it...the portions were big and we were pretty stuffed! So food wise this is one of the best meals I have had for the price range it's in, and will 100% be going back. The only thing that really let Meat & Shake down was the service, and it wasn't just us. 3 tables around us were moaning to each other about it as well. The issue wasn't staff themselves, it was clearly there was not enough of them. We waited ages to order, and in the end skipped dessert before I aged another week myself. It's a simple change that would have given this place 5 stars...get some more staff on busy nights, and organise them better! In summary, give this place a visit, and you won't disappointed! Maybe just avoid the hot sauce, as it's lethal!

Thankfully the food was really good. Highly recommend the Hot Links sausage. Most of the bbq sauce stuff is quite fruity which isn't my vibe usually.

After an awful experience at Nando's a few stores down in the London Designer Outlet, I called in…read moreHandmade Burger Co having been intrigued by a large sign in a window about their gluten-free range. I called here late evening on an event day, after watching Manchester City defeat Chelsea 2-0 to win the Community Shield, and due to the time, it did seem a little quiet, with only one staff member actively working, who seemed friendly enough. He briefly explained the gluten-free menu to me, that I could basically have any burger on the menu made gluten-free, and the menu I found to be cool and interesting, even included a peanut-butter burger, however, I decided to be slightly more basic, ordering a simple American cheeseburger. The selection of chips also was pretty cool, they were fresh chips with your choice of seasoning for a small fee extra - Peri-peri - Cajun - Rosemary Salt I decided to opt for the rosemary salt, the chips were okay, albeit not spectacular. Moving onto my burger, it was basically presented like a DIY burger with the bun in a bag, I found this approach to be a little weird, considering the price I paid is a competitive restaurant price I found it weird they'd serve it like that, and would much prefer they put it together, but I understand why this is good for coeliacs as it minimises cross-contamination and offers assurances that I won't be ill through eating the food. The overall food quality was satisfactory, the burger did appear to be cooked slightly more well-done than medium but still was okay, I did like the American Cheese on the burger but once again this wasn't as good as possible, as the cheese should have been more melted than just a slice placed on the burger. It is worth noting you can get two for one here using Tastecard between Sunday and Thursday, however I couldn't use it on the day of my visit because it was a Wembley event day, without this offer I think the pricing is a little pricey, especially when you want to add extras such as chips or a drink which should be included in perhaps a burger bundle. Average quality at slightly above average prices warranting a high two-star rating, yet sadly not deserving of a three-star rating due to a large amount of issues.

With a tremendous variety of burgers on offer here at Handmade Burger, and perks such as student…read morediscount and bottomless soft drinks available, this seems like an okay choice for lunch or dinner and it is just that. I've been twice now, once for dinner and another time for lunch. The lunch was considerably better than the dinner although the menu is the same. The reason why lunch was more pleasurable is probably as there were fewer customers and so the cooking was not rushed nor deep fried as much. Dinner on a night when there is a match or other event on at Wembley is bound to involve a restaurant-full of people and, it would seem, less attention paid to the quality of food served.  The meat, from the beef patties and chicken breasts in the burgers to the chicken wings, does taste fresh and well seasoned. However the onion rings and rosemary chips were dry and a little brittle. I recommend the plain freshly cut chips over the flavoured options as they appear to be less overcooked. The milkshake comes in an enormous-American-like-sized tanker and as mentioned previously, bottomless soft drinks are a good value choice. The green chilli and fire roasted pepper sauces are nice to try but somewhat difficult to administer through the tiny hole at the top of their bottles. Ketchup and mayo can be requested from your server.  Basically, Handmade Burger feels like Nandos but specialising in burgers rather than chicken. However the fillings here are better yet the sides are not. You order and pay up-front first, and the dining area is simple and casual. Ultimately it's somewhere to go for a quick and filling meal.
