The Fat Bear London

It is not easy to find but has Very good environment. The food is OK and the service is fine. Worth a try and it is not that busy.

Great American food and good service, we really enjoyed it. Cute cozy little ventue as well. Good location, close to St Paul’s. Can definitely recommend it.

Gareth treats you like he is hosting you in his home. Exceptional. Watch out for the wonderful variety of runs and absinthe. Two is too many. Three is not enough.

Really nice food, and a very pleasant atmosphere - having traveled throughout America quite a bit the food was definitely a match. a touch pricey for that style of food - but hey it's the heart of London so nothings cheap especially when it's good.

The food wasn’t good. It was overpriced and tasted like something I could make at home myself. The staff were ok. Unfortunately I wouldn’t go back. I must admit when I first arrived I felt quite awkward. I walked in being the only one there and all the staff were being very load talking amongst themselves. Even heard some of them swearing. Just seemed very unprofessional.

Excellent food, service and value for money. It is tucked away so you have to know it is there. Book to avoid disappointment as it does get busy...

Catches you off guard as you enter via the side of a busy City pub, decor was classic and smart, the food was simple - but restaurants can be quite excellent when focusing on the simple things and doing it well, and that is exactly what happens at The Fat Bear. The buffalo wings were faultless, the best I’ve had. The chicken sandwich boasted the biggest piece of fried chicken I had ever seen, despite its size it was tender throughout, accompanied with perfectly cooked fries. As my guest added, when your main course was excellent, you felt compelled to taste one of the puddings, and the Oreo cheesecake was an absolute dream. Excellent restaurant in an area full of not so great restaurants.

Good hearty food and decent value for being in the city. Would go again. The fried chicken was a decent portion but the waffles were a little small

Loved it. A small, intim place with greate service and good food. The bartender was world class and we had a great time. A place to go.

Lovely food and good service in a great looking cosy restaurant with a good atmosphere & good music. Would definitely return for another visit and to try another dish of authentic Southern comfort food.

It was great. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. The food was excellent and will definitely recommend to friends and family hen they come to London.

Good value for money, a modest menu but plenty of choice. Quiet on day of visit, but service with appropriate and not pushy without long waits.

Good Food, very large portions. I had the gumbo and it was all very flavourful. Others had the chicken and waffle with sriracha maple syrup, that looked really good.

Our 4th visit to the Fat Bear. Great fried chicken. I'm not keen on brioche buns so that part of the meal didnt get eaten. Great service . Very friendly but not intrusive waiting staff. Nice atmosphere as well.

We wereld freeling Very welcome @ the fat bear. The children thought that service was Very friendly andere the food Very taste. We would Come again!

I stopped by The Fat Bear for dinner. Service and food was excellent. I'm from the south, and the food here tastes better than my family's cooking. I highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant. Cornbread and chicken are awesome ! Good drinks, very nice staff. We will get back to this restaurant next time we visit London from Canada !

Food was lovely and service was great! Best spinach dip ever tasted! The overall atmosphere was really good too! The sauce on the chicken burger was a bit on the hot side though!

Had a great time at The Fat Bear, came here for our anniversary and would happily come again, American food done properly, with lovely service. Drinks menu is extremely good, and paired with amazing food.

Business lunch at the fat bear. Food and service were very good. Also very good value for money at £25 for set lunch with a drink. Would definitely return.

The Fat Bear is excellent! I'm from the American South and this restaurant is the most authentic Southern food that I've come across in London.

Food was good but too much salt added which I always find a pain because if I want salt, I'll add it myself! Obviously do this to make you drink more.

Super tasty southern American food, we had the shared fried chicken platter also added on the catfish. Had some great cocktails, tell the barman what you like and bingo!

The food was reasonable, although some of my chicken was burnt, however I can't let a few pieces of burnt chicken let the rest of the meal down. So I would say this Restaurent is worth a try.

The restaurant staff were friendly and helpful throughout the dining experience. Food was tasty and value for money. They are currently showcasing a new pop-up concept called the Abstruse Goose, where each patron have 3-4 small dishes. But I would recommend sharing 1 large and 2 small dishes for two people due to their generous portions

Experience was good. Food average. Had the Mac n Cheese with Garlic Fries and chicken from the starter menu. The Mac n Cheese could have been more Cheesy...barely tasted the Garlic in the fries but that is just my opinion. Would visit again to try other menus

Excellent food. We are from the states and it was great to have some home cooked food. The owner was very nice and the cocktails were great! Wish we would have found them sooner than we did. Would have gone back.

From the pub to this very cool, high-service focused dining experience, we had a great night of great dining. One exception: the dipping sauce for the fried pickles were wrong. wrong sauce for this delicious dish...so upon dipping the pickle into sauce, the pickle's taste was way off. w/out the sauce, pickle was excellent. surprised this excellent kitchen misses this...and it's not a cultural difference: it's just off. otherwise, it would have been a "6" experience ps: i will happily return to TFB...and recommend it highly to others

Great food, great service, good ambience. Loved the place. Reccomend the chicken with waffles and sriracha-maple-syrup. And the key lime pie was to die for.

The food and cocktails are absolutely incredible. It's not cheap but good value for money, really good quality produce and portions are generously sized. Menu changes regularly and staff are really lovely. A gem.

2nd visit to this great undiscovered little gem! Lovely food, friendly service and great cocktails! A must visit if you like American food! x x

Great food, great service, great staff. How food should be - no chain bland rubbish.! Long live independent eateries..! Would reccomemd to other like minded food champions. Get in..! Ant (Mad)

Great evening Food, drinks, atmosphere and service was amazing. Thank you so much to all at The Fat Bear for making it a great memorable evening

Went with a party of 6 and everyone loved absolutely everything they had, and the atmosphere was very familial, pleasant and relaxed. We're looking forward to when we can next return!

Outstanding food and very attentive service. Very authentic Louisiana cooking with a good choice of dishes. A really great experience - we will be back!!

Food was fantastic, cost was reasonable, staff were helpful and attentive. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try good American food or something a bit different!

This is my 4th time eating at The Fat Bear. The food was nice, especially the mac and cornbread. Although, we felt the small plates concept isn't needed. I missed the poutine and truffle fries. The service was not to the same level as previous visits.

Fantastic food, service and surroundings and reasonable prices we'll be definitely going back! it is a little gem! don't tell too many people or you wont get in!!

Great little place tucked away above a trending bar (I walked past it several times...) with the best staff and even better food! And do try the cocktails, the barman is amazing!!

It was delicious! The service was excellent and the environment welcoming as well as classy. I would go again and even recommend it to family and friends.

Food was fantastic and service was pretty good, nice atmosphere and very American dishes. Especially like the corn dog and cornbread. Will definitely go back again!

Enjoyed a great lunch at Fat Bear with 14 small plates of all shapes and sizes for our party of 4. We weren't disappointed by any, some spicy all flavoursome, but our favourite had the be the super corn dogs. Definitely a return visit is on the cards.

Great food, friendly staff. A hidden gem in the centre of the city. Well worth a visit. Try the chicken and waffles with a glass of IPA.

I really liked the decor and location, something a bit different. I dropped a mark because I thought the gumbo was a tad bland , with a bit of extra kick it would have been much better. Wings and chicken tenders were very good but with such high competition in London , I wouldn't say they were outstanding. Courgette fries were really delicious, as was the Oreo cheesecake desert. Plenty of other dishes I saw people around me having that looked really great and the drink selection was good. Overall a solid place , worth a visit.

Food was amazing and really friendly service. Mac and cheese very filling but wonderful will just certainly be back in the future . Very impressed

Visited early on a Friday evening - we had chicken and waffles which were delicious and the service was great. Already looking forward to my next visit!

The food was great! Service was excellent. Loved this hidden gem. I would highly recommend it. Especially to any Americans trying to find a meal that would be familiar to your tastebuds.

Very much enjoyed this restaurant. In a great part of town - 5 min from St Paul but off the tourist route. Beautiful décor, wonderful mellow atmosphere, lovely food, friendly and efficient staff. You can sit and enjoy your meal without feeling that you were there for an allotted amount of time. Will definitely be returning.

The staff were very friendly and the food was very close to the real American dishes they sold. It was probably the most delicious chicken and waffles you can get on this side of the pond.

This is probably more 3.5 as the service was excellent and the place was really nice. Our starters were nice but the mains were a little disappointing, but perhaps other dishes would have been better. Would give it another go
