Dirty Bones – Carnaby Street

We went to Dirty Bones for a friend’s birthday brunch and obviously took advantage of the £15 bottomless Prosecco! The waiters were pretty good at filling up our glasses until we hit the 2 hour mark, but we definitely got our money’s worth! The food was decent — a good number of veggie options alongside the meaty burgers! The sides definitely added a little something extra — the fries for example had a delicious spice on them. We did feel a little like we were overstaying our welcome after 2 hours but I’m sure I’ll return again!

I wish I was living in London so I could have more of their Brunch! We were there last Saturday and had a wonderfull time and wonderful brunch.
My husband took the Benedict burger and the sauce in it was just amazing. As for me, I ate the Avocado and poached egg and it was fantastic too (will try to do the same home)
The place feels homy and the staff is nice. Prices are okay too considering being in center London.
Will come back if I can

Not quite there yet, seems to be a newly started restaurant, unable to piece everything together smoothly although they try very hard. The service was slow although friendly, the food took a long time and the food wasn’t that good.
The fried mac cheese balls were good but the hot dog was very tough. The waitress told us the fired chicken was cooked differently and would therefore be pink inside — quite off putting. The burger looked liked it would have been the best choice. The steak was terrible, ordered rare, came raw with fat and tough bits throughout.
Nobody asked how the meal and was so at the end when a pile of disgusting meat was left, then the question was asked. Given a cocktail each which was a nice gesture but it certainly won’t be enough to return anytime soon.

Mmmm this place was tasty! We popped in with no booking very early on a Friday evening (6 on the dot) and there were plenty of walk in tables. Previously I have tried at 7ish and we couldn’t get a table. Last minute booking is also no good so if you decide you want to go make sure you book early enough.
Between 5 and 7pm Monday to Friday they have a brilliant happy hour where a few beers and a few cocktails are on BOGOF (like a lot of places the 2 cocktails have to be the same which is a shame — with a pouty face I did manage to get 2 different gin ones that I wanted to try; djin djin & the littlest hobo — both were delish but littlest hobo was my fav! Gin, lemon juice and passion fruit syrup made it so refreshing).
We went straight for mains. I chose the Mac daddy which was so so good — chargrilled burger topped with Mac n cheese and short rib. The short rib main was good, so much meat, but pretty pricey. We went for 2 sides — Mac and cheese, which was filthy, mmmm and double dirty fries (topped with cactus salsa & pulled pork). The fries were really really nice but more refreshing with the delish salsa on top than ‘dirty’. My boyfriend enjoyed them but thought they needed cheese! I just think they need to change the name!
Needless to say we were so full we couldn’t manage dessert — the menu didn’t look anything special any ways!
Overall I really recommend :)

I already tried most of the places in Kingly Court and I couldn’t wait to try Dirty Bones ! For a burger addict like me, it’s a must-​eat place !
I have to admit, I almost gave out when the waitress told me it would be an one hour wait for a table. Never mind, we had some cocktails while waiting (I already knew what I wanted to eat — the Mac Daddy obviously– and I wasn’t ready to give up)
After we got our table, I have to admit the service was pretty fast. The burger was on point: deliciousness coming from the pulled beef and the pasta and cheese, nom nom nom
My friends liked their cheeseburger even if they said it had «nothing special» and they almost asked for a second Mac and cheese side because it was so good and cheesy.
Overall, it’s the perfect place to try something new (pasta in a burger, genius) if you’re not scared by the waiting list.

For what Dirty Bones is, it’s great. Some nice dirty American style food to get stuck into!
We went for some Mac and Cheese balls and Calamari to start-​both of which were really good! Mac n Cheese seems to be popping up on everyone’s menu at the moment, but they fitted in perfectly here!
For the mains-​chicken (obviously) and the burger. The chicken we lovely, not to greasy and really tasty. No bones (ironic) in ours made it even more delicious! The burger was average but still good. We only went for it to make sure we tried as much as we could.
On the sides-​some chill fries-​these were a bit of a let down. I wanted them covered in chilling sauce, cheese etc etc. but it was just a bowl of fries with some chill flakes and a pot of sauce. This is an easy fix and hopefully one they sort out.
Drinks wise-​get yourself booked in for happy hour, decent cocktails and a good price for the location.
We had a meal for 2, with drinks for about £30 per person, you won’t get much better than that in Carnaby!
If you want a romantic, sit down, amazing meal this is not for you. If you want to get messy, have a laugh and eat some decent food at the same time… get yourself booked in!

Lives up to its name. Had a table for two on a Friday, and mains came out 10 minutes apart. The Ribs were extremely fatty (barely any meat, warm and undercooked) the Signature burger Macdaddy was a disappointment (small burger, cold buns). The most fascinating thing when it arrived at the table were the chilli fries… Which were French fries with finely chopped chilli peppers and a tiny cold pot of what tasted like a bland tomato soup on the side. (bodeans, red dog saloon or any american style restaurant would have a very different definition for chilli fries)
Won’t be going back

We started by sharing chicken wings glazed in lemon, topped with chilli and spring onion (£6) and deep fried mac balls with DB sweet chilli sauce (£5.50). The chicken wings were a decent portion of 5 half wings, and the citrus flavour was different. The mac balls were incredible.
For my main I went for The Burger (£8.50) to which I added beer cheese and bacon (which added an extra £2.50). This was a good burger.
We also shared a portion of Double Dirty Fries (£6.50) — skinny fries with DB BBQ sauce, cactus salsa and pulled pork.
Cocktails are also good — I went for the Top Dog (£8) which comprised of Finlandia Vodka, fresh strawberry, chambord, lemon and Jeio Prosecco. Served long, it was refreshing and well balanced.
Lost a star for slow service.

Best Staff Service ever. We only waited 20mintues for a table on a Friday night which was nice. Though we would of been happy just sitting at the bar because the cocktails are amazing.
The hot dogs and the mac Daddy burger are lush and even if you’re a veggie — they do veggie hot dogs that are delicious.
Sadly we couldn’t get dessert because they didn’t have any that night BUT they have us complimentary cookies and discount off the final bill — which was super nice of them.

Lovely new space on top of kingly court. Seems to be gathering pace here.
BBQ Korean chicken good. Bit too clean for me tho. Hot dog is OK. Nothing too special. Deep fried mac and cheese balls are the best by far tho. And epitomise ‘dirty’ bones.
Cash machine want working which is a pity but first day nerves on soft launch understandable.

Mmm, brunch.
If you’re looking for an unusual brunch, so not your typical full english or beans and toast, Dirty Bones kills it. I got a three stack toastie with amazing cheese and meat and oh woah tasty. We also got the burger with bolognese sauce, which was the excellent mix of breakfast and brunch. And then a little toast and avacado. Mmm.
And then for dessert, the Milk and Frosties, which is vanilla pana cotta with Frosted Flakes. And it was seriously tasty and not big enough for two. We also did the milkshakes which came in excellent Tiki glasses but sadly were more milk than shake. Not bad just not the thickness I like in a milkshake.
The service was excellent here. All smiles and happy and they checked up on us a bunch which was really nice.
The only issue we ran into was with the toast and the bacon, which were both seriously burnt. Like to the point when we ate any of it, all we could taste was burned toast and burned bacon. When we talked to them about it, they did bring out new ones, but it had always spread to the rest of the food, which was disappointing. A chef should just throw away even remotely burnt toast, not serve it.
But small issue for a great brunch and I’d be back in a heartbeat.
