<![CDATA[Greater London - Camden - Covent Garden - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - American Restaurants - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Garfunkels http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/covent-garden/american-restaurants/garfunkels-wc2h7rr.html#r53516 It's very interesting to note that ALL Garfunkels establisments in London get 4 Stars from enviromental health with even one receiving 5! Reason enough to dine there. Service was excellent and food was very good and reasonably priced. I've found their American Hot Pizza the best choice for me. The staff at this branch were particularly nice.

Staff were very polite and nice but when the asked had I had a nice meal and I explained they just said 'oh'

Such a pity Hamburger Union got it so wrong

]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:21:11 BST Nice chunky chips http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/covent-garden/american-restaurants/hamburger-union-wc2h0ha.html#r39214 Yes bring back the £5 deal! I agree with Callum. This is a nice burger place though, with great chunky chips too. The prices aren't too bad though, as the ingredients are nice and fresh tasting. The style is canteen like, with long wooden benches, you order your food at the counter on the way in and it is brought to you. It's a nice site on a corner of the entrance to Leicester Square, an all window front which lets in a lot of light. Nice lunch venue.

Since ive grown up and actually been in one, they arent that special, thick carpet and dry steaks, but theres still something great about being in here and scoffing in one of the booths.

When they opened they had a wicked £5 lunch special which was great, we went all the time, unfortyunately its now been withdrawn, so it makes it a rather expensive deal, especially next to burger shack!

BRING BACK THE DEALS!!!! ;0)

(ok i'm scottish, but us media boys dont get paid THAT much lol!)

]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 14:29:59 BST Great deals for lunch http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/covent-garden/american-restaurants/burger-shack-wc2h7rs.html#r37860 Only just discovered this place after going there with a couple of mates, even though I walk past it EVERY day!! Comedy…

Food is quick and really nice, nice atmosphere!

Staff are friendly, but could do with a bit of menu/drinks training!! Lol!! We’ll let you off for spilling our drinks this time as you smiled so much!

Quite cheap too considering it is Leicester Square!!

YUM YUM

I'd recommend booking a sofa or two if there's a large group of you going in for drinks. They do a wide range of cocktails, but beware - order too many at once and the waitress seems to get alittle confused. Still at least they are happy to bring over chips and other nibbles when the cocktails start to take effect.

But i am always unsatisfied by this place. Perhaps it's the way you have to order at the counter like in a fast food restaurant, but are made to sit down and have your food bought to you as if you are in a restaurant. The burgers are always overcooked. Hamburgers should only ever be served medium! Chips are usually dry too. And it's over priced - even for central London.
