Flat Iron Cambridge in Cambridge

Came for the Carcass Club night for our 2 year anniversary. Amazing food as always. You can never fault a flat iron steak, especially the ones from tonight. Service is always impeccable here. Everyone says hello to you as you walk through, always checking back to make sure everything is good and offering more. The staff really go above and beyond here to make you feel welcome and make sure the dining experience is perfect Thank you for a lovely night

The food was great. We attended the first carcass club there. And despite the service issues we would go again for the food. That said its important to highlight the areas for improvement. Firstly we were seated and then forgotten about. It was only after the table next to us had ordered and recieved their food that we felt to chase if we should be ordered. It was a surprise to the server we hadn't ordered yet. Secondly a member of our party has an egg allergy. We were offered a replacement sauce that did not contain eggs. This was forgotten when the food came out and we had to have it changed. Finally (and most minor) the set menu includes a glass of wine. We were not made aware of this so ordered wine, which was unnecessary as we would have enjoyed the complimentary wine had we known. All in all the food was great. The service was lacking. Probably due to the first time hosting this sort of event. But something I'd watch for (especially the allergy!)

Great value compared to a lot of other places these days. The food (we had steak each and shared chips and mac and cheese) was excellent and the free popcorn/ice cream were a nice bonus. The staff were also very friendly!

Amazing restaurant with incredible food. You will not be disappointed with the food here, a great example of a good flat iron

The food was delicious & the service was exemplary, and the prices were reasonable. Our server, Oscar, was very friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. He took time to go into detail about the texture & flavour of each type of steak & gave us some guidance on the size of the sides to prevent over/under ordering. We just need to find an excuse to visit Cambridge to go back there.

Why must the air conditioning be turned up so high? I’m sitting there feeling silly shaking while cutting steak. I didn’t want to be dramatic but 45 mins later and I feel unwell.

A pleasant change to get service with a smile, all the staff were very good, the food was excellent, they even found a small bit of steak for our little doggie 😀 Ellie was a star 🌟

Fantastic food, vibe, service and drinks

One of the best restaurants in Cambridge and always excellent customer service too

Lovely meal at flat iron, book well in advance as they’re booked days in advance

Flat Iron Cambridge is a truly lovely spot — my partner and I have visited a couple of times now, and it usually delivers a great experience. We booked in advance and were seated right on time after a brief wait at the bar. The service, as always, was warm and attentive. I really appreciate the little touches like complimentary popcorn served in rustic mugs and citrus water in vintage milk bottles — charming details that reflect the thought put into the place. We placed our order and even had our popcorn refilled by a friendly server, which was a nice touch. The steak itself was well-cooked but felt a bit on the smaller side — perhaps that’s just my appetite talking. My cocktail, a mule, was excellent — bright, refreshing, and balanced. Unfortunately, the margarita missed the mark entirely. It lacked any discernible tequila or Cointreau, tasting more like an unsweetened iced hibiscus water — not quite what you’d expect for £9. When I raised this politely with a passing waiter, I was told it was batch-made and couldn’t have been missing ingredients. I didn’t press the issue, though in hindsight, perhaps I should’ve asked for a replacement. As someone who’s worked both as a chef de partie and a waiter, I understand how awkward it can be when customers raise complaints, and I didn’t want to cause discomfort. That said, the sides were fantastic. The beef dripping chips were delicious, as was the truffle mac according to my GF. The sauces — particularly the béarnaise and wild mushroom — were outstanding, though I’d have loved more generous portions. Frankly, I could drink those sauces by the litre. When the bill arrived, we were given the iconic little metal cleavers — a charming touch Flat Iron is known for, which you can exchange for their delicious vanilla ice cream. As we were quite full, my girlfriend and I decided to share one. To our surprise, the server told us we could hang on to both cleavers and redeem them another time, then kindly handed us a complimentary ice cream to share, free of charge. A small gesture, but a thoughtful and generous one that really stood out. Flat Iron has consistently impressed me with its atmosphere and design across the UK, and Cambridge is no exception. It’s a beautifully curated space with lovely staff and a real eye for detail. While this particular visit left a bit to be desired, especially on the cocktail front, I still recommend the experience overall based on previous visits and the entire rest of our experience. Mistakes happen — they’re part of any hospitality environment — and I’m hopeful my next visit will be back to the high standard I know Flat Iron is capable of.

Brilliant Flat Iron branch. Food was lovely and consistent with other branches we have tried. Staff were friendly and personable. Our meals were brought out promptly and we were checked on multiple times throughout the meal. Would happily return again.

Went for a birthday meal for my partners birthday. The staff were amazing! The really tall guy (didn’t get his name) was superb and so kind.

Flat Iron never fails to meet expectations. The taste is always consistently great, and the service is just as reliable Our food was served in under 15 minutes. We were welcomed with complimentary popcorn and lemon-infused water, and ended the meal with free ice cream, which is such a nice touch. I totally recommend this place for its quality, speed, and thoughtful extras!

Incredible service complete by Jess today, super friendly, polite and informative. Overall lovely experience, especially within the customer service 💅🏼

Un filete precioso. Menú sencillo, gran relación calidad-precio. No grandes porciones o filete, pero es increíble valor y los lados son porciones sabrosas y decentes también. El restaurante tiene un gran bullicio, las bebidas eran geniales. Buena relación calidad-precio, sin duda volveremos.

Hugo and Milla were absolutely brilliant. One of our party has a gluten allergen and the knowledge and support was absolutely phenomenal. We wish we lived much closer but will definitely be back. One of the best meals we have ever had and the service was exceptional

Food was good. Not only the flat iron steak is good, their burger is absolutely delicious! Worth a try!

Excellent steak house very reasonable for the cuts you are getting and very knowledgeable staff. Atmosphere was lively but convieniable.

Mi segunda visita a un piso de hierro, mi sobrino y su esposa por su cumpleaños y fue increíble, les encantó, la comida era genial, el servicio era increíble de Lovely Lucy y George, cuidado muy bien. Ya han dicho que volverán a un Planchón Plano en el futuro

Flat Iron steak is incredible, we ate well, the waiters were kind and smiling. As our first time at this steak we are satisfied, we will definitely return.

Food was ok, portion size for price was awful, nice staff but the portions were a shock and they add a 12.5% service charge that is obviously embarrassing to take off when you didn’t enjoy your meal. Won’t be going back to flat iron

Estoy sorprendido por las críticas positivas de este lugar. Entramos y salimos en poco tiempo. Pedimos el filete de solomillo Wagyu más caro, lo que fue asqueroso. ¡27 libras por un filete diminuto, duro y delgado que era aproximadamente un 50 % comestible, el resto gragea y grasa! Al igual que el otro revisor a continuación, me costó conseguir mi cuchillo a través de él. £ 4 por una pequeña porción de fichas en el lado y £ 1 . ¡50 por la olla más pequeña de salsa de pimienta! Muy, muy, muy caro por la calidad de la comida. La primera vez que pedimos un cargo por servicio ( 12. 5 %! ! ! ! ) que debe eliminarse. ¡Ahorra tu dinero y evita la decepción!

Great atmosphere and cocktails. Sadly steak was very chewy even though it was medium rare. Disappointing for a restaurant that specialises in steaks.

Went in on Thursday evening got served by Joana, had amazing service from her great hospitality extremely polite and kind definitely made our experience 10 times better! Thanks Joana 🤍

Almost always busy, amazing food and the service is unmatched around Cambridge 👍

Fui con mi hijo mientras estaba en Cambridge. He estado un par de veces antes. Pedí un filete medio raro, salsa de pimienta y chuletas. Perfectamente cocinado y buen servicio. Mi único problema es debido a mi vista No podía distinguir entre el molinillo de sal y pimienta, por lo tanto, pon sal en mi filete que traté de frotar con dificultad

Great steak and I enjoyed my side dish too. Nice waiter and a big fan of the free ice cream after the meal!

Absolutely perfect. We went on a Monday, around 7pm. The menu is simple, so ordering is easy. We got the Scottish bavette, the Flat Iron steak & their triple cheese burger, with the bone marrow mash, beef dripping chips & the mac & cheese. While it might initially seem that the steak is small, in the context of the meal it's definitely the right size. I preferred the bavette to the traditional, and would say the higher price is worth it. All of the sides were unique and flavourful. We also tried the bearinaise, peppercorn and wild-mushroom sauces, and all of them were excellent. I could have the peppercorn everyday! The service was quick and efficient, and I'd say the total cost of our meal here was very reasonable. Plus, to top it all off, the free ice cream was the smoothest and creamiest I'd had in a very long time. Well done to Flat Iron for really nailing this whole experience!

Been to many of these but this one stood out. Service is 11/10 we had Jess who was super helpful.

The food was great steak was lovely and really good price for everything, the mac and cheese and the ice cream at the end was my favourite, Thanks to Claudia (?) noticed the name on the reciept you were really lovely thanks for your service !! We came on a busy saturday night and the table was ready for us not long after we came which was great. It was a lovely date night we will come back thanks everyone!

Really nice for a steak lunch with friends and family! Really top service staff 👏

Yummy food do these people have taste buds?awful food poor servings badly priced,a few we know have gone since and won't be going back

Disfrutamos de una comida aquí para mi cumpleaños de socios, el lugar es agradable el servicio era bueno y rápido y la comida era todo lo que podía pedir! El bistec me pareció perfecto 🙂

Love the atmosphere and the staff

Steaks were done perfectly and staff was attentive.

Tasty burger and cocktails. Dessert ice cream was great. Good customer service.

Great steak at a really good price. Service was just right, Hugo was excellent!

Seriously one of the best steaks I've had and definitely at that medium price point. The mashed potatoes were fantastic. All of the sides were great.

Great service, our waiter was very nice and friendly. However, the food quality was bad. We took fries, burger and wagyu steak. All of those were bad. Fries were soaked in oil. Paid £80 for the meal in the end. With such a high price I expected much better food.

Really delicious food and great service - highly recommend! Only critique is the temperature - last two visits we have been sat beneath an air con unit which is too cold and makes the restaurant feel less cosy.

Came for a birthday lunch. Absolutely delicious. The mash is to die for! Excellent cocktails Wonderful staff Highly recommend

steak was lovely, dry aged and lovely flavour. however the staff were too busy

Great simple menu, lovely staff, reasonably priced.

We visited this restaurant with high hopes after seeing so many glowing reviews, expecting a truly standout meal. While the ambiance was lovely and the service genuinely warm and attentive, the dishes unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype for us. The steak, which we were most excited about, was cooked well but lacked the flavor depth we anticipated. Other items on the menu were also quite average — pleasant enough, but nothing that made us feel truly wowed. It’s a beautiful place to dine with great hospitality, and perhaps the experience may vary, but for us, it didn’t quite reach the heights we were hoping for.

What a meal, what service, what people. Spinach, unreal. Steak, unreal. Margarita, unreal. Lud Miller, unreal.

We got a steak, a burger, and a side order of truffled macaron cheese They are all sweet, and the Truffled Macaron Cheese is delicious in a small way They serve popcorn before you order and give you ice cream after you order The restaurant's prices are very reasonable for steak and beef burgers Definitely worth a try

Always ask for their steak of the day, it's amazing.

Fantastic quality for the price. The creamed spinach was a little too salty for my liking but that could just be me. Definitely recommend if you want a quick decent steak whilst out shopping.

Only minor thing was service was a bit slow, took a while to take our order. But the food was amazing!

Came in for dinner yesterday and had the best time. Amazing service from Oscar!

We went for a family lunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was wonderful, the staff friendly and attentive. Cannot complain at all. I will return and would recommend 👌

food amazing and came so quickly, staff are so friendly and helpful. amazing atmosphere. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It was our first time at Flat Iron and honestly, it was fantastic both service and food wise! We were super impressed by the server's thorough knowledge and effort to check the dishes for the allergen concern because we never had such excellent care particularly as it's not a quite common allergen. The flat iron, chips and green salad were so delicious and despite its size, it was super filling. Super cozy atmosphere too. Will go back again!

We pre booked for a Saturday - advised as can be busy! Midweek less likely to! The waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and gave suggestions! I always go for Flat Iron steak as it would be rude not to! Béarnaise is a must also! All side are delicious as I’ve tried them previously!

The steak was very good for the price, and the mac and cheese was excellent. I also received complimentary popcorn at the start and ice cream at the end. Some of the tables are rather small and quite close together, so personal space may be limited.

We had a great time here. Its steak was good, the service was excellent. We had a good laugh when they gave us two tiny weeny cleavers in the end to exchange ice creams,it’s so funny!

I loved everything about this place! The steak was delicious and the prices aren’t too high! They also offer complimentary ice creams after your meal!

This place is overpriced and serves small portions of food. A 12% service charge was automatically added to our bill. BEWARE! We decide if we want to leave a tip for good service. In fact it was a very rushed meal as if the staff want to get rid of you in order to pack more people in. So if you want to take your time and chat in nice ambiance do not go here to eat. The prices are a rip off for what you get Check your bill.

Affordable price, with great food. Friendly staff members

I’ve had flat iron many times mostly in London but it seems flat iron is great everywhere! I can never fault it! The steaks are excellent and the bone marrow mash and creamed spinach is my all time favourite 😍

I had a lovely meal at Flat Iron, my friend and I had the steak and burger. Both cooked perfectly, as well as the Apple and Rhubarb and Collins which were both sweet and refreshing. Would definitely come again!

Great steak house. Friendly staff. Need to book as it gets very busy. Alcoholic and soft drinks but no coffee. No deserts but you get a free ice cream cone on your way out.

It was my second time to this cozy restaurant and I had a flavourful medium-rare steak and a delicious side (truffled macaroni cheese) which I really enjoyed! The staff is friendly and the service really good. Coming from Greece, I find this steak house a superb choice, with tasteful dishes and moderate prices. I love the Victorian building in which it is housed and the enclosed secret garden near the front door where you can enjoy the complimentary ice cream before leaving the place!

Limited menu but good Nothing wrong with limited menu, more focus on the quality and standard of the food. The environment is clean and tidy. Friendly staffs. Popcorn per table to start with. Ordered wagyu and sirloin steaks, macaroni and cheese, chips and salad. The food was in small potion overall. Tasted good generally. I thought the sirloin steak was better than the wagyu steak. The bearnaise sauce was impressive. Was given mini knives after the bill. You can either keep the knives for Halloween cosplay(for hamsters only). Or return them for their homemade ice cream. Will try the ribeye steak next time......

Always good service and nice food! Will be returning when I come back to Cambridge

Great atmosphere, friendly staff

A huge let down after having a recent great dining experience at the Covent Garden restaurant. Cambridge was grimy, noisy, and run by students. Try to avoid sitting upstairs unless a student bar atmosphere with musky cabbage smells are appealing to you. Air-con is also way too high. We couldn’t wait to finish and get out of there.

The wait was too long, we had plans elsewhere and were almost late, a shame really we had heard great things about the service and food but next time we will opt for somewhere faster.

Great meat and wine a nice place

Tuvimos una tarde paseando por Cambridge, y en realidad a ambos les apetecía una pizza... Pasamos por Flat Iron (que nuestro hijo ha recomendado muchas veces) y decidimos probarlo... . ¡Estoy tan contento de haberlo hecho! Gran personal, comida encantadora (las palomitas de maíz y el helado es un buen toque) buen rollo, y buena relación calidad-precio... . ¿Qué no te gusta? Teníamos el filete de hierro plano, puré de médula ósea, papas fritas que gotean de carne y salsa de pimienta en grano, delicioso! Espero con interés mi próxima visita

Had a fantastic dinner at flat iron, atmosphere was great, food was delicious and arrived quickly. We were looked after by Romeo who was brilliant, professional and accommodating. Highly recommend

Food was absolutely brilliant, would pay twice as much for the quality we received. Felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. Romeo did a fantastic job looking after us, will be returning very soon.

Food amazing as always. Atmosphere always amazing. Staff nearly perfect however the waitress forgot to bring drinks we ordered a couple of times

Romeo our server was amazing, did everything we needed whilst dealing other people by himself, what a trooper. Romeo is the best, he better not leave as we will be coming back.

Excellent! You're going to have steak but have the green salad side! The mash is special and the Italian rosso is good 😉 375ml I recommend 👌 Take care they add a donation per steak and a 12.5% service charge the bill that's a lot 🫨!!

Good steak, cold beers nice atmosphere

Tasty amazing steak. The issue is that the prices didn't go up but the portion went down in size.

Had a lovely lunch time meal. Miller / milla (hope spelt her name correctly!) was such a fab waitress. Really attentive, helpful and friendly. Great customer service which I was blown away with. Thank you

Tried and tested small menu . They do only a few things but they do them well (and fast) . The staple Flat iron steaks are great value for money and all the different sides are the perfect size . My personal favourite is their green salad…. Top tip 1 : despite the fact the beef dripping popcorn you get whilst waiting for your food is yummy , try not to eat the whole pot as it’s super filling Top tip 2: make sure you leave a little bit of space for the free soft serve ice cream waiting for you when you leave.

Straight fives from us... could not of had a better experience, great staff and a truly exceptional meal... at a very very good price. Had the daily special (wagu sirloin) and a burger... sirloin cooked to utter perfection. Ice cream and popcorn as complementary extras and not over priced beverages. Will visit again without fail, it is super popular but was worth the wait to get in (45min wait with app alerting you when to come back).

We had a reservation at 1900 and left the building at 1925- it is difficult to complain about service being “too fast” but we did find that our experience was slightly ruined- we were celebrating a birthday and looking forward to a nice meal out however due to there being no starters or deserts on the menu, we did feel very rushed- having had an £80 bill for a 25 minute dining experience. The steak came out within 2 minutes of being ordered. This of course takes nothing away from the food being fantastic- the steaks were cooked perfectly and I thoroughly recommend the creamed spinach. Service was also great. I would visit again but not for a nice occasion- I would maybe recommend for a quick lunch.

Our second time in Flat Iron. Decided to come for my husband’s birthday meal with our 14year old daughter. We were taken to our table and served by Jessica. I wanted to order a sparkling water with fresh mint and lime but she informed us that she is not allowed to put any garnish to the water. Our stakes came within literally within few minutes. One of our orders was a burger which was very soggy (the bottom bun was squashed to a 1 mm thickness most probably from sitting pre made wrapped in paper for too long time ) and room temperature, mash potatoes, chips and macaroni cheese exactly the same. Everything tasted like pre made instead of made to order like in fast food restaurants. When received our bill “optional donation” was automatically added to the bill. We wouldn’t mind to donate but it would be nice if we were asked. Oh! And we also weren’t served with a complimentary popcorn either. Unfortunately this meal turned to be very big disappointment. We all decided not to come back.

Everything is very tasty, I recommend it, but you need to book in advance!

The food is phenomenal, beautifully cooked steak and then sides were very unique. the service was on point. I would recommend their mash and truffle mac and cheese. I can't complain about the unlimited popcorn for sure. Will definitely be revisiting soon.

Absolutely brilliant meal @flatironsteak Cambridge. Warm welcome. Good wines by the glass. Fabulous steak and brilliant value for money. We were very well looked after by Jess and the team. Will definitely be back.

A delicious meal perfect with friends or date night

We were honestly a bit skeptical before coming here, but we were pleased to be wrong! For the price, The flat iron was tasty and cooked right (although the bavette was only half good), and the sauce (which I usually don't put on steaks) and sides were both great! Service was very friendly too, and a nice touch with a more than decent free ice cream at the end!

the portions are small yes… that being said you will be full very quickly. the amount of butter and oil was enough to send me home with stomach ache. that being said the meat was cooked very well and the gent was humorous and relaxed. i wouldn’t return for concern of my health. though not my cup of tea i could recommend for those with big appetites and strong stomachs.

The staff were really friendly and attentive, food was delicious, cooked perfectly as we asked, and you get complimentary popcorn and ice cream. The only 'negative' thing is that the portions were too small. Would definitely recommend and next time we will come with our children

This was our second visit to Flat Iron Cambridge as a family. Our kids loved it so much before they asked their grandparents for gift vouchers for Xmas! We used them this evening and my goodness the food and service were even better than before (which we didn’t think was possible!) everyone is so happy and kind there and made our evening very special. Huge shout out to Stella our waitress and especially the manager cassy (?!) (or Classia according to our kids 🤷🏼‍♀️) we will definitely return. It’s the only place our kids want to eat out 🥰🥰

Focus on quality of steak not popcorn & ice cream

Simple menu done really well. The steak was perfectly cooked, the peppercorn sauce was amazing and the sides were also really good. Very quick service and friendly staff. The complementary ice-cream really topped it up, it was brown butter vanilla and absolutely delicious.

Visited flat iron in Cambridge a few times and it's fantastic. Lovely staff, nice atmosphere and really tasty food.

Beautiful steak in a wonderful restaurant

We arrived without a reservation and were made to feel as welcome as those that had. We were politely notified that there would be a 20/30 minute wait, which meant we could grab a couple of drinks and wait in the bar area which is surrounded by some lovely houseplants! We were seated within 20 minutes which was great. Prior to our food arriving, a member of staff had a bit of a malfunction with a hand sanitizer dispenser, which resulted in a fair few apologies and a few napkins to clean myself up! We laughed this off as a complete accident and could see how remorseful the staff member was. Our food tasted delicious. It was also an extremely lovely gesture for part of the bill to be waived due to the unforeseen accident. This kind gesture really made a beautiful evening feel that little bit better. We will definitely be returning!

Have always had a good experience at flat iron but this time really stood out. Savio was amazing, made us feel really comfortable. Even after I devoured 3 bowls of the popcorn, he even gave us some to takeaway! Food was nothing but perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality steak restaurant without breaking the bank! Thank you for a lovely evening and dining experience!

Everything about this place was fabulous. From the staff to the food. All of it was incredible. The popcorn at the start was lovely. The cocktails were also really fab. And of course the steak was incredible!!! bone marrow mash is my new favourite thing.To top it off the free ice cream at the end was a wonderful touch. I’ll for sure be back soon. Thanks flat iron Cambridge team you were a dream !

Lovely experience, amazing and tasty food, the steak was soo good and tasty, staff was beyond kind and professional. Places where you feel nice and welcomed are rare nowadays. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you
