Harrison Nathaniel-WurieJanuary 24, 2013Visiting for either Brunch or Dinner is highly recommended. The famous Lucky Chip Burgers are served here, as is a tasty Rib-Eye Steak. Cocktails like the Giant Island Iced Tea are recommended, too.UpvoteDownvote
Chris HainesJune 7, 2014They do cute and mini cheeseburgers that are full of flavour and worth trying! Really nice vibe and open late too! Does get pretty busy thoughUpvoteDownvote
Richard FrazierMarch 17, 2013Great place for breakfast or lunch on the weekend. The portions are massive and the orange juice delicious. Their coffee lets them down though - lots of better grinds available in the neighbourhood.UpvoteDownvote
Philippa DunjayApril 26, 2014Amazing spot for casual dinner. V well priced. If you stand at the bar, the v knowledgable bartender will mix you something custom up. Meatballs are the bomb.UpvoteDownvote
Time Out LondonMay 2, 2012Giant Robot offers a handsome setting in which to enjoy a fine, American-themed cocktail list (manhattans star Rittenhouse rye; a Brooklyn cocktail comes with Woodford Reserve). Read moreUpvote5Downvote
Sam DuffyApril 2, 2011I judge a new place on eggs Benedict. They were superb, tasty cured grilled bacon, restrained amount of thick tasty hollandaise and a fresh hot muffin. Nice friendly staff and great decor.UpvoteDownvote
Simon ClarkJuly 28, 2010Food is Italian "tapas" so lots of mainly small dishes, although the tortolini is fantastic and the rib of beef for 2 looks amazing. Mainly wine and cocktails, but great Brooklyn lager. Great servicUpvoteDownvote
Charles HoelMay 26, 2011Nice place for a cafe or a late lunch, the Piadine Pancake served in the afternoon are all pretty good. They also have some recent issues of The New Yorker to keep you waiting.UpvoteDownvote
Richard WilkinsJuly 20, 2010Went for Lunch on Sunday. Fantastic rib steak (£50) for two, chilled glass beer and has al fresco option. Prawns and meat balls looked good too. Very relaxed and great service. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Agathe BarbierMarch 3, 2014The music was really loud and it was so crowded that we left before ordering food. It looks beautiful though and there a great cocktail menu. I would go back for drinks, not for food.UpvoteDownvote
Shawn S.November 1, 2013amazing burgers. try and make a reservation before coming, it gets a little busy during lunch on weekdays.UpvoteDownvote
Great retro Americana vibe and Italian American menu. The cocktails aren't half bad, either. No actual Giant Robot, though.UpvoteDownvote
Timothy StampJune 7, 2014Great little place, friendly staff, funky music, food served til late (1am-ish) and the cocktails slip down oh so easy.UpvoteDownvote

Elena GaviglioOctober 19, 2013Went for a lunch with coworkers, it took them more than an hour to bring us food which mostly consisted in sandwiches. As we asked why it was taking so long we were said: "This is not McDonalds".UpvoteDownvote
Order the Lucky Chip burger! Be careful though, it's rare by default.Upvote1Downvote
