Fatboy's Diner - Tower Hamlets

We attempted to visit the diner in April but found it closed. However, under new management, we decided to give it another try and were not disappointed. Although they are currently operating with a limited menu due to some missing equipment, the food was delicious and there was still a good variety to choose from. I ordered the chicken burger, which was surprisingly large and flavorful, served with homemade coleslaw. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their burgers and my husband liked his hot dog. The venue itself is a unique experience, with a retro American diner vibe and views of the o2 and cable car. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill for a meal for four, including drinks and chips, came to under £50. The staff were very friendly and we highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to returning in the near future to try their new menu.

We had been eagerly anticipating our visit to this restaurant for some time, and it did not disappoint. After exploring the beautiful Trinity Buoy Wharf, we waited in line for about 15 minutes for a table. The menu had so many options, making it difficult to choose! The small team of friendly staff worked hard to efficiently serve the outdoor area. We all enjoyed our meals, which were generously portioned, and the milkshake was the best I've ever had. We were pleasantly surprised by the bill, as our family of four had not dined out so affordably in a while. The prices are very reasonable for London. Despite being a bit off the beaten path, it is definitely worth the journey, especially on a warm sunny day. We will make a point to return in the future.

This restaurant is truly a unique and hidden gem! The staff is amazing and the food is exceptional for the price. Such a special dining experience.

I ate here one afternoon last month whilst I was staying up in London at the Novotel on Canary Wharf. I had seen this place featured on a TV programme. It looked to be in a very interesting setting and I do like this style of place. As I said I was staying on Canary Wharf and it was actually a very straightforward journey using two buses to arrive just a few hundred yards away from the entrance to Trinity Buoy Wharf where the diner is located. This whole area is yet another where there is a huge amount of development going on with the construction of apartment blocks. The Wharf itself has seen development with several units now operating as small businesses. The other feature worth mentioning is the superb view from the Wharf of the O2 Arena opposite and the giant skyscrapers of Canary Wharf in the mid distance. So to the diner itself and it really is a great place to eat. I don't know if it's an original or a reconstruction but it's a 60's style American diner that you see in films and photos of that era. The menu is fairly extensive and is of course centered round the ubiquitous burger but there are many other choices including salads for the healthy eater! There are breakfast options as well. A burger was just fine for me and I chose one with cheese and bacon together with the usual other trimmings and fillings. A very large portion of tasty fries accompanied it. To complete the true American style I had a lovely milkshake with it. The food arrived in good time and it was a pleasure to eat whilst looking out at the view. You can even see the cable car ride that crosses over the Thames very close by. I finished off with a nice cappuccino and the total bill I thought was very reasonable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place if you like this style of restaurant and I really hope to go back again one day.

Came here for a late lunch on Friday 23rd July 2021. Initially, its location is stunning being located in Trinity Buoy Wharf, with seating both inside the diner and outside in a fenced off area. We chose to eat outside and the waitress saw to us and seated us in a cleaned table in short order from arrival. The menu was well laid out and considering its prime location in London the prices were reasonable. We ordered our food and the chief brought it out to us. Initially, we ordered a diet coke float (o the irony) and instead of just giving us the holder with the ice cream and cola, we were supplied the filled cups and the spare cola in the cans. Its a small thing but an indicator of how generous they are with portions, which we were about to find out when our main arrived in the form of a chicken and separate halloumi wrap. I ordered sweet potato fries and my wife rosemary fries. The fries were massive (I should have taken the queue from the diner name) . All was cooked well and was very tasty if ultimately so filling we couldn't finish our meal. The chief returned with a suggestion we take away our left overs if we wanted a doggy bag, and also suggested a free tap water to wash down our meal. We were not rushed and the service/table manner was welcoming. We will be back and we recommend wholeheartedly to anyone else in the area.
