One of the most fun restaurants I’ve been to in London! My friend and I thought that we had overordered but managed to eat everything. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and the garlic butter steak - but all of the food was unbelievable!! I’ll definitely be back for their happy hour and/or all you can eat options.

The food was outstanding; Pig's head on toast was banging with flavour. Ribeye and Rump cap with Black lock gravy is pure gold! Topping the food was the service, so I am picking Blacklock City over the other outlets for my next steak out. Andrea was great and made the dining experience very enjoyable. She is the best restaurant hostess in London, and Blacklock is lucky to have her. Also, a shout-out to Oliver as well; he was great! Blacklock City, you ROCK!!

Very attentive and informative staff, perfectly cooked and brilliantly seasoned meat, cooked to our preferences. Generous sides packed full of flavour. Creative and delicious cocktails. We treated ourselves to the cheesecake and the grandma style serving lived up to its name. Amazingly good value overall and a delightful experience. Replicates the feeling of a decent New York steakhouse, no stuffiness, just a passion for food and looking after people.

The room was too loud. Maybe you could consider acoustic panels on the walls or the ceiling to make the experience more enjoyable
