This steak joint cooks its beef to order, and though the steaks aren't of the quality you'd find in more expensive restaurants - ours was a little tough - they are excellent value, with a 10oz sirloin costing just £12, served with chips and a watercress salad. Sauces cost extra: most of them 50p, though the béarnaise adds a whopping £2. Cattle Grid makes decent burgers too, with dense, firm beef patties, and the chips are suitably crisp and dry. If you'd rather have pork, then ribs or loin steak are available. The two floors of this modern, narrow building seem popular with small parties, and the proximity to Balham station caters well to herd instincts.

2 stars? Seriously? The best burgers and ribs outside of the US (have you been to the ever declining Bodean's recently?) and definitely the best chips I have had in London - home made, crispy perfection - that might not sound like much, but I'd travel a long way to eat chips this good. Also experienced Wagyu beef here, which is like beef sex.
Finally - I went to Gaucho recently in Canary Wharf where I was ripped off by staff who were like less likeable characters from "Made in Chelsea', serving steaks only just better than you'd find in an Aberdeen Angus Steak House.
Steak, ribs or burgers in London - I have to say, I'd always choose Cattle Grid
Have been here twice - was very annoyed that I was stupid enough to go back after the first bad steak - no taste - better going to one of the local pubs that do much tastier food
I have to say the quality of steaks I've had here are better than this review is letting on. The chips are homemade which shows a good effort and service is good. I'd say 3-4 stars would be more appropriate.
