Food is OK, nothing exceptional. It's also overpriced for what it is (as were Jamie's Italian chain) - I don't know if you're paying for the location or for the celebrity chef name, but there are far better options in the area both quality and value-wise

Jamie’s Italian is always a good option for a quick dinner. I was pleasantly surprised when we received complimentary drinks and deserts for my birthday. Food is a hit and miss sometimes but in my case more often a hit ;)

The service was good. Really nice waiter. I didn't like the macaroni and the waiter took it off my bill even though I was willing to pay. So found that brilliant customer service. I had the hot dog with blackened sweet potatoe and macaroni cheese.Hot dog was standard. Nice. Was pleased with it.Sweet potatoes was nice. Very peculiar seasoning combination that I hadn't tried before. Quite tangy but I enjoyed it all the same. I just love sweet potatoes.The coleslaw that came with the hotdog was okAgain for me weird flavour combinations. Not what I'm used to but it was ok. It had a variety of vegetables in it which was nice but more tangy than I would have preferred.Finally the Mac n cheese. I personally found it too creamy/milky. And since my stomach was sensitive I couldn't eat it otherwise I would have thrown up. If you love creamy food you will probably enjoy it. But I prefer my Mac n cheese with stronger cheese, less cream and more seasoning. Probably wouldn't order that dish again.Atmosphere was lovely. I dined alone and felt completely comfortable. I liked the decor. Very much like a diner with a bit more funk/style. Seating was comfortable.So overall I did enjoy myself. I may come back and try something else. Food wasn't amazing. But satisfying nonetheless. So if you want something easy going with a slightly different flavour choice then this restaurant is great.But if you want really big flavours. Something to make you say wow. Then this place isn't for you.P.s my bill came to 11.50 for the potatoes and hotdog to give you an idea on pricing (£4 = potatoe £7.50 = hotdog with coleslaw)

The service was warm and speedy, but the food was a huge disappointment. The flash steak was bland and rubbery =( The sticky hot wings were better, but by no means spectacular.

Crumbs. OK, for starters, it's not as bad as I thought it might be for a tourist-trap cheesy diner right on Piccadilly Circus. It quietens down nicely after rush hour on a week night and can actually be quite relaxing. The food is decent (for a tourist chain) and about what you'd expect for the price. Nothing to rave about, but it does the job. The giant dinosaur centrepiece is actually quite fun, if you ignore the thick cake of dust on its back, and if you have a child that likes dinosaurs then this is sure to satisfy them while you snigger quietly at the comedic fake adverts for 'dino lube'. If you want good food, or a more unique dinner, then you've got a thousand better options further into Soho, but if you want standard fast food with a cheesy esoteric aesthetic, then this is fine. Just don't use the toilets - urgh!

We visited on a Sunday lunchtime - a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We were seated quickly as it wasn't overly busy when we arrived. The waiter was friendly and took our drinks order quickly.My children ate from the children's menu - one picking pasta with tomato sauce and hidden vegetables the other picking the chicken lollipops. The pasta went down well, the chicken was slightly less well received but that's not surprising when you have a 3 year old that wants what his brother has 😂 However we finished off the chicken and it was tasty.My husband had the hot dog, with a side of fries - it came covered in mustard and tomato sauce (including the bun!) I'm not a fan of hotdogs but hubby described it as being 'Ok' but that it had too much sauce.I had the insanity burger with a side of fries. The burger itself was decent enough and the brioche bun was lovely- however although mustard was described on the menu there was so much of it the overwhelming taste was mustard - shame really as it spoilt what would have been a pretty good burger.We asked for the bill which came to £43 (2 diet cokes & 2 squash as well as the above) and had to wait a long time for the waiter to come around with the card machine. At this point the restaurant was busy but I do feel this could have been dealt with quicker.We liked the quirky decor and the dinosaurs were well received by our children. It's a great spot for people watching if like us you have a table next to the window!My biggest negative however was the toilets- they were grubby, dark and smelly.

Fun little place by piccadilly for a nice American style meal. Absolutely amazing to have pulled pork with egg and salsa on it which I had never thought of before. Also in American tradition they bring you a free dessert and sing happy birthday to you on your birthday which is pretty rad!

·

Food itself was good enjoyed it.Not very varied menu.Staff took very very long to serve you even though the place was very quite. Had to go and get our bill instead of being given it.

Delicious! A nice haven for lunch or dinner in London's crowded West End. Jamie Oliver's Diner has a nice selection of burgers and other diner style meals. A little on the pricey side if you are on a budget but definitely worth a try if you aren't.

very nice, classic-style american diner in the heart of London with very friendly staff. I had one of the best Burgers ever and the blackened sweet potato was just awesome!
