An American-style diner in the heart of guitar land, just off Charing Cross Road.
It serves basic cafe dishes - omelettes, ciabatta with chips, pasta dishes, and some dishes of the day. But it's the burgers that interested us the most - all named after genres of music. We were very impressed with the fact that there were just as many veggie burgers as regular.
Food is served 9am-9pm daily. Bec had the Punk (£5.95, with chillis and cheese) and was very impressed by the spiciness. Holly went for Ska (£5.95, with fried onions, cheese and red chillis). The same toppings and name apply to the meat burgers. Sean highly rated his meaty Blues (also £5.95, with blue cheese and bacon). Bec was happy to see yellow French's style mustard and Hellman's brand mayonnaise. That's authentic Yank!
The interior is a painted red and there's a framed NME with John Peel, as well as collage of musicians photos. Bec was pleased by the White Stripes - well, they match the interior. There's a jukebox (Flickr photo), though I don't know if is working or for show - the staff were playing the Clash when we were there.
I definitely want to come back to sample the nachos and during an evening to check out some bands.
On Sunday, there are open mic nights starting at 5:30pm.
