Authentic American in East
Similar in decor to the Soho location, the Shoreditch Diner is a popular place for relatively cheap, authentic and sometimes fast American food. They have crammed in as many red leather 2 and 4 seater booths so tight you're almost rubbing knees with the person sitting opposite you. It's a tight squeeze in those 4 person booths as well. But it does have the feel of an authentic American diner without too tacky.
They serve a lot here, and the menu is comprehensive. Breakfast til 4pm, burgers, burritos, salads etc. This is not haute cuisine. What you are really here for is a juicy and greasy burger in a basket. No less than 12 varieties including two vegetarian all served in the oval basket. The fries are also good here and a burger cannot go without onion rings. All the portions are generous.
Amongst my favourites here are the milkshakes which you can a shot of alcohol to make it a "hard" shake. Baileys, chocolate and hazelnut is perfect, as is chocolate and banana with a shot of baileys. You can also choose to add peanut butter or nutella (or both should you wish!).
All in all, the diner is a lively place with honest American diner food. It's fun and although service here has never been the fastest in my experience, it is certainly one of the best places to eat in the area if you are not looking to ruin your wallet.
