I have been to the Leicester Square branch (now moved to Trocadero) twice now and loved it both times. The American guy who served us both times was really friendly and attentive and the staff were laughing and joking with the chef the whole time. The food was served fast and was great, I've had the cheese fries and ok, its squeezy cheese but I don't go to a burger restaurant to be healthy. The milkshakes are the absolute best! The malted oreo cookies one is my favourite with chunks of oreos to suck up your straw! I will go back again and again I love it

i second what Stewart said.the fact that i enjoyed the milkshake was a shambles to the food i ate.i mean the burger was dry,it didn't include any sauce and a extra charge of 75p had to added on for extra sauce/ingredients.also the cheesy fries were just nasty!all they did is put a normal kraft cheese slice on top and melted,i was expecting somthing more.i was disappointed and also the fact that we had to pay a further £2.75 of a service which weren't even provided.never again ever.

The burgers arrived quickly, but were fairly dull and uninspired. It'd also be a shame to consider that this is the best Milkshake in London.

The fact that they made the service charge discretionary is also a bit of an insult considering it was nothing special. So to be told that you are paying them an extra £2.50 makes a meal for two a little pricey at around £20.

Go there as a last resort....

Went here with a few friends for a bite to eat one evening as one of us had been before and recommended it.

Hmmm what can I say about this place. Im sort of in 2 minds about it.

On the one hand the burger was decent quality, filling and pretty tasty. The American Diner style is pulled of well and the lady who served us was really nice and friendly.

On the flipside the food was VERY expensive, which I suppose isnt that shocking considering this is central London we are talking about. But when you factor in their, seemingly, mandatory 12.5% gratuity on top of that it. Something I thought was only done in swanky restaurants and the US (Where it isnt so bad cos everything is so cheap in the first place).

They also would only cook from medium-well done. As someone who likes his meat rare I was a little disappointed by this.

Also those wonderful little jukeboxes on the counter.... didnt seem to actually work. Thus we wasted a few 20p discovering this.

I can't really see myself going back there too often unless I want my wallet to be assaulted again.

We were in there today. Although the burgers and shakes have shrunk a little, in the ten years since we've been in there, the quality was excellent and the shake was every bit as good as I remember it all those years ago.

The stuff about the tips is absolute nonsense - there is a 12.5% service fee pre-added to every bill which we paid with pleasure - the service was friendly and the food was absolutely to be recommended.

The little jukeboxes in front of every seat is a grand idea and the 50s and 60s music is cracking stuff to sit and listen to while eating.

Overall - excellent - GO THERE!

The food is pretty blah and overpriced to boot, but the milkshakes! My favourite is a chocolate malt, my boyfriend's is the oreo shake... Creamy, gorgeous and probably a million calories! Stop for the shakes, but dont bother eating there.

After an evening at the opera we found Eds Easy Diner on our way to Leicester Square tube station. We were celebrating both my birthday and our wedding anniversary. A warm welcome and friendly service. The food was excellent and the milk shake (peanut butter and banana malt) was to die for - I put on 3lbs just looking at it. All in all a great place to eat, good service, great atmosphere and excellent food. No it's not the cheapest place to eat in town - but a fun place to spoil yourself even if you only have a milkshake and a burger.

I don't understand (or really believe) the stories about being hassled for extra tips as a 12.5% service charge is included on the bill.

Eat at Eds and die happy!!!

Like a previous reviewer, I was also hassled for the 2.5% extra after leaving a 10% tip. I was leaving with three other people at the time and the member of staff literally shouted across the counter at us when we had just left through the door. Unfortunately I was too embarrassed and shocked (not to mention stupid ¬_¬) to tell them to get lost. The food is ok, but overpriced. The service isn't anything to write home about.. I can think of a lot of occasions when I have been in there and the staff have been rude to customers waiting for seats or not eating fast enough. Grab a takeout milkshake if you have to get something, although why you pay the same for a takeout milkshake as an eat in one when the takeout is half the size is beyond me...
