"On our way to the theatre, my 2 Dining Companions (DCs) and I needed to stop for a quick bite to eat, as the show was going to be a long one. After parking at London Victoria Station, we walked into Victoria Place Shopping Centre and perused the options available. After deciding we didn’t want ‘traditional’ fast food, we opted for Ed’s Easy Diner, which promised “American comfort food”. Ed’s has the look of a stereotypical American diner, circa 1950’s, with seating areas both inside and outside, if you fancy a spot of people watching, both offering table service. The floor was somewhat sticky to walk over in the outside area, we did not walk inside, but the tables were clean and welcoming. The menu, as promised, covers American classics along with breakfast, junior and gluten free options, all at a reasonable cost. We ordered from the mains menu, with me opting for the BBQ chicken and bacon stack (with sauces on the side), DC1 ordering a Coney Island foot long hot dog with onion rings, and DC2 a BBQ cheese and bacon dog with fries. Both DCs also ordered shakes. Our order was taken in good time, with the server being very friendly, and the drinks came out in under 5 minutes. The shakes were old school blended ice cream, milk, and flavouring affairs which were delicious, if a little too frothy. I feel like if they were left to sit for a time so you felt like you were drinking more than foam, the glasses would have been less than half full. Food was also quick to arrive, and was served on diner style trays lined with branded paper. Whilst I understand this is diner style, I’m not a fan of paper lined dishes under food that is likely to be eaten with a knife and fork as I find it gets damp and shredded up as you eat, and you end up with paper in your food. Paper aside, the meals were tasty, just as they were described in the menu, and hot. My chicken and bacon stack was set atop delicious onion rings, and served with little pots of BBQ sauce and melted cheese sauce, chips, and macaroni cheese. To be clear, this is not health food by any stretch of the imagination, when I say cheese sauce, it is essentially melted ‘plastic’ cheese, but it was suited to the food. I set the BBQ sauce aside however, as I am not a fan, but there was also mayonnaise, tomato sauce, and seasonings available on the table. The chicken is crumbed and fried (again, this is not health food), and layered with soft cooked bacon slices, and the chips are skin on, which adds to the flavour, in my opinion. The macaroni cheese was made with a different cheese sauce, and tasted homemade rather than the result of a packet mix. As is typically American for macaroni cheese, it also had chilli in it, which I enjoy. The hot dogs came in white bread buns, which were a little soft for my liking, as I like hot dog buns to have a bit more ‘chew’. The sausages themselves were nice, with an enjoyable texture and flavour. DC1 had chilli on his, which was very tasty, but needed a lift with some salt, topped with cheese sauce and jalapenos, whilst DC2’s dog was topped with chopped bacon, onion, and crispy shallots. This was tasty enough, but looked a little messy and unappetising. It would also normally come with cheese sauce and BBQ sauce over the top, which may have improved the appearance, but DC2 asked for this on the side. Thankfully, as our food had come out in good time, we didn’t have to rush through it and were able to enjoy our meals. Unfortunately, however, our server was busy reading menus when we wanted to get our bill and this held us up. I have to admit to being a little confused by this, as some plates had been cleared from our table whilst I was still eating, which I’m not a fan of, so we were clearly close to finishing. At the very least, I’d have thought she might have offered dessert menus, which would have offered us the opportunity to ask for the bill. In the end, we stood up and gathered our gear, as we thought we would just pay on our way out, and this spurred the server into action. To sum up: Atmosphere: Light and bright, pretty much what you would expect from a 50’s style American diner. Service: Fast and friendly, perfect for a casual meal. Lacked a little at the end however, but just get up and make to leave, they’ll be there in a snap! Food: Again, what you would expect from a 50’s style diner. You get what the menu suggests you will, and the food is well described as ‘comfort food’. Drinks: Tasty, but overpriced for what they are, in my opinion."

Only one person serving on a Monday evening? Others waiting over 15 minutes to pay. My order was taken quickly enough, and my drinks arrived pretty speedily but 20+ minutes later there’s still no sign of my food (ribs).

Food disgusting , the quality of food is very very poor . You can see that this chain is in big trouble . They should have closed them all down this year , avoid the one in Brighton . The food looked like pig swill being .

This restaurant used to be very good, unfortunately when we visited the famous Ed's, we found the quality of food were very poor with dirty restaurant floor and toilet. This restaurant needs lots of improvement specially the quality of food. View menu

The food was good as usual but the blonde waitress (with the arm tattoo’s) that served us seemed uninterested in doing her job with more care and promoting any company’s good customer service. It took her half an hour for her to give us cheesy chips and another twenty minutes for the desserts we ordered. Not really what you expect when you walk into a family friendly restaurant...

I recently visited this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. We arrived around 5pm and were seated promptly. Our order was taken shortly after and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. Although there weren't many staff members working and they seemed very busy, they were still friendly and helpful. I would definitely visit again.

Went here after a trip to theatre, before catching train home. Server took order fairly quickly but it was all down hill from there. Ordered soft drinks, unlimited refills for two of them. After a long wait drinks arrived and the glass had more ice than drink, one order was wrong, banana milkshake looked good but was tasteless. Waited a further 30 minutes for main meal. We all had a foot long hot dog. The roll was dry as a bone, toppings non existent, the hot dog itself was burnt on one side, tough as boots and tasteless. Fries were barely warm, as were onion rings, slaw was ok, mac cheese looked like something out of a tin. £49.95 for 3 people, complete waste of money. Will never visit agai... View menu

Yesterday, my mother, my son, and I visited London for the day. I had found this restaurant online and thought it would be a nice change to try something different. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly waitress who was handling all the tables by herself. She promptly took our drink order as we perused the menu. However, she informed us that the breakfast menu was still in effect for another 20 minutes. We decided to wait and ordered milkshakes in the meantime. Surprisingly, the waitress returned shortly after to let us know that the chef was willing to start preparing our main menu selections early to save us from waiting. We placed our order and were served our drinks and...

I went here prior to an evening trip to St Paul 's cathedral and had a late lunch at 2.30 ish. on 14th November 2.30pm I had a bottle of cider and the chicken goujons a burger which looked really good on the menu, but when it arrived it was very tiny. It could have done with much more salad and the whole thing was really a very small eat. The starter of 3 goujons for nearly £6 arrived with the burger so I had to gobble the whole lot or both would have got cold. WHAT IS HAPPENING? YOU LIST THE STARTERS AS STARTERS SO WHY DO THEY COME WITH THE MAIN.? PLEASE GET A GRIP OF THE CHEF THAT DAY AND SHOW HIM MY PHOTOGRAPH. AND PREFERABLY FIRE HIM. The restaurant was not full and for a touristy site l...
