Eagle Bar Diner
-
The level of cultural interchange between New York and London these days is such that the Eagle Bar Diner feels more generically urban than specifically American. There’s no memorabilia and no fancy-dressed staff: just a long, plainly decorated and ever so slightly careworn room lined with smart booths and plain tables. As the name suggests, the Eagle leads a double life. It’s essentially a drinking den at night, but things are calmer during the day, when the stereo is mercifully turned down and the menu of diner staples becomes a more appealing prospect. The best bets remain the burgers; the Eagle was among the first of London’s nouveau burger joints, and the house speciality matches that of any local rival. Elsewhere on the menu, the barbecue ribs won’t give Bodean’s any cause for concern, while the sausage and mash is below gastropub standard. On the other hand, the breakfasts are reliable, while the unsubtle but generous desserts and the terrific malts (try the Elvis-esque peanut butter and banana variety) sate the sweet of tooth. Service varies from over-enthusiastic to diffident, but sometimes strikes the right note.

Oooh horrors! Ok, so, I live in south London in my own really quite small flat. I do not have a cat but long for a dog. I only learnt to drive last...

I ordered a chocolate milkshake, it was absolutely awful, it tasted like the smell of plasters, it didn't taste of chocolate at all! If you want a good milkshake go to Ed's diner!
Service great but was very disappointed by 'American' pancakes. Not american, more like thick doughy crepes than the light, fluffy stack of yumminess I was expecting
Went with my husband for a Sunday brunch. As an American, I was looking forward particularly to the pancakes and waffles boasted on the website's menu.
My husband got the pancakes, and I got the waffles. Sadly, neither plate of food was up to any sort of American standard. The pancakes were definitely not of the North American variety; they were European crepes, and the waffle batter was sickeningly sweet rather than savoury. Both pancakes and waffles were covered in powdered sugar. We left feeling more like we had eaten dessert rather than brunch.
All this said, the décor and restaurant arrangement was friendly yet intimate and particularly accommodating for a leisurely Sunday meal. I just wish the food had been better.
Went here for lunch with a friend last weekend and had to say was absolutely fantastic. We only stopped to grab a quick bite to eat but ended up having dessert and a few cocktails instead, far better than spending a Saturday afternoon shopping on Oxford Street!
The burgers were amazing, I had one with houmous and lamb- absolutely delicious.
had a great chilled out evening with my girlfriend and some mates.(great aircon)
my burger was to die for and sams salad was fresh,crisp and tasty. washed down with great cocktails and cold bottle beer. service was relaxed and friendly. shame there is no outside seating. cool dj too. will try again. JX
