The best restaurants serving American food in Haggerston Hackney London

Had a meal here last night with a couple of friends. Was quite a quiet atmosphere when we walked in but this didn’t deter us. We sat down, and the waitress came and took our order. We got our drinks and our mains, on top of that I ordered a side dish for myself. Here’s the thing, our drinks never turned up and neither did my side dish of popcorn chicken. The mains arrived after about 20 minutes but we were all very underwhelmed by them. I could’ve made a better burger for myself at home. When we requested the bill, at first the waitress actually brought it to us with the drinks and the side dish we had not received. She swiftly realised these were never brought to us and was apologetic. Too little too late really. The bill was then amended and we paid for the terrible food and experience. Oh and it gets worse. Just before we headed out I went to the restroom and was followed by another waitress/member of staff who said that, I wasn’t allowed to use the toilets unless I had eaten at the restaurant. I proceeded to tell her that I had had a meal in the diner, to which she responded that she hadn’t realised. We were literally sitting opposite the kitchen in the middle of the quiet diner, and one of the only groups there. I left angrily. I can only recommend to people that you should never eat at this restaurant. The staff, the food and the overall experience was horrendous.

This is the bar they refer to as Kaso in the evening 9and my review relates only to the bar) - There are things about this place that are good and things that are not so. We popped in here for a drink having been to Bibo across the road for dinner. First impressions were good as the security team were very polite and well mannered (and having been in that game myself I was pleased that they were creating that good first impression) but it all went wrong when we got out of the lift on the 7th floor. As we walked from the lift to the bar area we were summoned (and I use that word very specifically) to a podium and asked "how can I help" which seemed like a silly question when arriving at a bar at 10:30 in the evening. I said my wife and I would like a drink and he said how many of you are there. Now maybe I'm being a little pedantic but "my wife and I" should have provided clue 1 and the fact that there were two of us should have provided clue 2, but hey ho. But then the very unfriendly front of house guy then said "..we're very busy so if you don't mind standing outside follow me.." and walked out to the terrace dropped a couple of menu's an the top of bench and walked off. Now I'm OK with the place being busy, the standing and the being outside (after all it was peasant evening) but a) the attitude was poor and b) shortly after our arrival he took one small group through to the main bar and then 2 minutes after he dealt with us sat a group of 3 young women at a table six foot away from us and brought an extra chair so they could all sit. Now as I mentioned I've worked in the security industry previously and if I need to validate my views on this I looked after security for the Met Bar in the late nineties and 2000's, Sketch and MoMo's for Mourad Mazouz, The Collection, Home House and a host of other we'll known venues so I know when someone is being disingenuous, and he certainly was. We then met one of the bar team who (and I wish I'd taken his name) was very friendly, asked if we needed any advice and took our order quickly. Unfortunately by that point I was a bit pee'd off so we decided to drink our drinks and move on somewhere better. Would definitely not go back.

Ordered through UberEats. We got two burgers, two sexy fries and a mac and cheese.The burger bun was dry, the sexy fries were absolutely nothing like the photos and at a whopping £5 each, I would have expected something half presentable. The Mac and cheese was an absolute joke. We got the side but there were barely two spoons of Mac and cheese in a tub which was 10% full. See pictures. You can see the shadow on the outside of the tub which indicates how full the Mac and cheese tub was.We tried to call the restaurant to complain but no answer and auto response from ubereats telling us feedback will be passed on.I’ll never order again from here.

I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone. Wouldn't let me in one time because I was single. The thing is, is that the place is always empty and they have staff outside on the street trying to encourage people to come in. Don't go there.

When I was here service was pretty poor and Food wasn't much better very disappointing indeed expected better

Estaba sucio y huele de algas. Wc estaba sucia y la música no era genial. Sólo vinieron a ver a mi amigo, o yo no me quedaría.
