The food was reasonable, although some of my chicken was burnt, however I can't let a few pieces of burnt chicken let the rest of the meal down. So I would say this Restaurent is worth a try.

Super tasty southern American food, we had the shared fried chicken platter also added on the catfish. Had some great cocktails, tell the barman what you like and bingo!

Business lunch at the fat bear. Food and service were very good. Also very good value for money at £25 for set lunch with a drink. Would definitely return.

The restaurant staff were friendly and helpful throughout the dining experience. Food was tasty and value for money. They are currently showcasing a new pop-up concept called the Abstruse Goose, where each patron have 3-4 small dishes. But I would recommend sharing 1 large and 2 small dishes for two people due to their generous portions

The Fat Bear is excellent! I'm from the American South and this restaurant is the most authentic Southern food that I've come across in London.

Excellent food. We are from the states and it was great to have some home cooked food. The owner was very nice and the cocktails were great! Wish we would have found them sooner than we did. Would have gone back.

Food was good but too much salt added which I always find a pain because if I want salt, I'll add it myself! Obviously do this to make you drink more.

The food and cocktails are absolutely incredible. It's not cheap but good value for money, really good quality produce and portions are generously sized. Menu changes regularly and staff are really lovely. A gem.

Great food, great service, good ambience. Loved the place. Reccomend the chicken with waffles and sriracha-maple-syrup. And the key lime pie was to die for.

From the pub to this very cool, high-service focused dining experience, we had a great night of great dining. One exception: the dipping sauce for the fried pickles were wrong. wrong sauce for this delicious dish...so upon dipping the pickle into sauce, the pickle's taste was way off. w/out the sauce, pickle was excellent. surprised this excellent kitchen misses this...and it's not a cultural difference: it's just off. otherwise, it would have been a "6" experience ps: i will happily return to TFB...and recommend it highly to others

This is my 4th time eating at The Fat Bear. The food was nice, especially the mac and cornbread. Although, we felt the small plates concept isn't needed. I missed the poutine and truffle fries. The service was not to the same level as previous visits.

Enjoyed a great lunch at Fat Bear with 14 small plates of all shapes and sizes for our party of 4. We weren't disappointed by any, some spicy all flavoursome, but our favourite had the be the super corn dogs. Definitely a return visit is on the cards.

Great food, friendly staff. A hidden gem in the centre of the city. Well worth a visit. Try the chicken and waffles with a glass of IPA.

I really liked the decor and location, something a bit different. I dropped a mark because I thought the gumbo was a tad bland , with a bit of extra kick it would have been much better. Wings and chicken tenders were very good but with such high competition in London , I wouldn't say they were outstanding. Courgette fries were really delicious, as was the Oreo cheesecake desert. Plenty of other dishes I saw people around me having that looked really great and the drink selection was good. Overall a solid place , worth a visit.

Very much enjoyed this restaurant. In a great part of town - 5 min from St Paul but off the tourist route. Beautiful décor, wonderful mellow atmosphere, lovely food, friendly and efficient staff. You can sit and enjoy your meal without feeling that you were there for an allotted amount of time. Will definitely be returning.

The staff were very friendly and the food was very close to the real American dishes they sold. It was probably the most delicious chicken and waffles you can get on this side of the pond.

This is probably more 3.5 as the service was excellent and the place was really nice. Our starters were nice but the mains were a little disappointing, but perhaps other dishes would have been better. Would give it another go

Great wait staff, relaxed and casual atmosphere. Food was really good, we had gumbo and corndogs to start, and the beef short rib and chicken and waffles for main. Only slight complaint that the fried chicken was a tiny bit overdone and a little bit dry. But overall a great place!

Cosy, warm atmosphere. The staff are cheerful. They have an amazing window-view and are located on a lovely road that winds up the hill. The food was great too, a bit pricey but you get corn dogs, which I didn't think you could get in London!
