Big Moe's Diner Ilford

What can I say...this is what Ilford has been missing!! A truly Americanised experience but absolutely perfect. Took my son here for my birthday lunch and the food...oh my days the food!! I had the beef rib which was immense and he had a chicken burger. We ordered wings too and basically had wayyyyy too much food! Don't be fooled by the fact that the meals seem to come qith very little in the way of sides, they really don't need it. This is a meat-eaters heaven! We had the restaurant to ourselves as it was a Monday lunchtime so we got to sit at the table in the car which is at the front of the restaurant, needless to say my 4 year old loved that aspect! You order on your phone at the table then they take payment before bringing the meal. Staff were friendly, restaurant very aesthetically impressive and the food is in a league of its own. Not cheap but worth every penny!

So we had an great meal but a very bad experience! But it did not stop me from giving them 5 stars.. let me explain My son is T1 diabetic so we order a Coke Zero for him. However since we have a blood glucose monitor on him, we noticed his blood sugar began to sky rocket! We found that he was given a full fat coke. In fairness, it is an easy mistake to make, but quite detrimental for his health. The manager Farhan was extremely apologetic and did whatever means to help us. I can see he felt genuinely bad for his staff’s mistake. He did everything he could to make us feel compensated But that aside, Food wise? Great! We ordered the fully loaded burger, buttermilk chicken burger, a sharing BBQ tray and everything tasted great! Atmosphere is brilliant and the Airtable was a great touch. Little bit on the pricey side but I would definitely come back again!

Highly over priced menu, 12.5% obligatory service charge for non existent service. The interior looks great, food and service well below par. A lot better restaurants in the area.
