Eat like an American at All Star Lanes

Amongst the handful of restaurants in London that attempt to deliver an American-themed dining experience, All Star Lanes [Brick Lane] is the only one that has hit the nail on the head. From the atmosphere to the food, right down to the great service, I had a grin on my face the whole time as I actually felt like I was home.

The menu is pretty impressive with a mixture of food from all 50 of the United States, not just burgers, fries and milkshakes. Quesadillas, Philly Cheese Steaks and Blackened Catfish are all amongst the array of typical American cuisine and they have an impressive selection of American beers including Blue Moon and for those who really miss that flavour of the Rockies – Coors Light.

Once you’re finished stuffing your face with enough food to feed a small country (I recommend sharing because you will never be able to finish the baked mac n cheese but you deserve a bite!) they have a fancy bowling alley and karaoke booths. It was a nice change to bowl at a place that was not filled with smoke and smelly shoes – and we continued with the cocktails as we bowled thanks to the full bar in the bowling alley.

All Star Lanes makes for a great night out of dining, drinking, and bowling for a bit of a change to the normal wine and dine. I highly recommend the blackened catfish (with Louisiana hot sauce of course) and the heavenly banana split. Pace yourself though, because this is proper American dining.

I only have one gripe – that they have a Florida State Seminoles flag hanging in the entrance and the Florida Gators memorabilia was no where to be found.

All Star Lanes has locations in Brick Lane, Bayswater and Holborn. For more information visit their website: http://www.allstarlanes.co.uk.
