Ed's - An American Dinner amidst the hustle and bustle of London

The Big Bubba (GBP6.35) and Onion Rings (GBP2.95)

The combination was indeed large reflecting the sizeable portions of American food portions. I couldn't finish the rings and left part of the bread behind. But you had the choice of adding a ton of sauces. The Big Bubba is the "Original" with bacon and American cheese.

The beef patty was grilled to perfection with enough moisture and texture left for me to savour the rich beef flavour. The cheese wasn't the stretchy kind which makes it easy to eat without having the strings stretching out of the burger itself. The rings however were the frozen kind instead of freshly cut onions. So that was a bit of a let down. My one peeve however is the prices charged. Despite the portion, I doubt I'd pay GBP6.35 for a burger in the near future unless I start going to a slightly upper class restaurant, even then a burger would be the last thing I'd order.

Ed's does however give you the feeling of a typical diner complete with a jukebox that still works. 

Needless to say, despite the prices, the place was overall welcoming, clean and typical American.

So what is my verdict?

Ambience               4/5

Food                      4/5

Drinks                    4/5 (they do serve beer here and a load of other drinks especially the milkshake)

Price                      3/5

Average price per person:                  GBP 12.00 (Burger, Side + Drink)
