Dirty Bones Kensington

I really enjoyed the place! The food came swiftly, the drink was delicious (and I got it for 5£ during cocktail hours) and the shake was really well made. It was the first time I saw a Mac&Cheese Brisket Burger and it didn't disappoint! Left there satisfied and happy. And of course the decoration is pretty cool!

American style comfort food: items such as chicken & waffles, Mac 'n' cheese are what your to expect: highly recommend. Dessert wise grab the "donut and coffee" (the other desserts seemed a bit too rich) - I'm a fan of timeless cocktails, and wasn't sure if their versions of the drinks would work, but ended up liking the Rhum Old Fashioned - it complimented the chicken waffles well. We were ushered to leave the table a bit early (we had less than 2h) and we couldn't hear the live music from the dining area but overall recommended for dinner.

Dirty Bones was an overall positive experience, but there were some aspects that left room for improvement. The decor is pretty cool, but once you're inside i didn't realise notice it that much. The staff and service were mixed - some were friendly and chatty, others were more serious and even sour, so unfortunately it might come down to chance. The food was reasonably good but by no means amazing - the chicken was crispy and chips were good, but it was also quite greasy and in need of some seasoning. The drinks menu is pretty extensive unlike the food menu which, despite having some good dishes, is lacking some variety. There's a cool-looking bar area if you just want to drink. And then there's the toilets which you will need night vision goggles to use as the lights are so dim. Any brighter though and you'll be able to see through the door as they have a large frosted glass pane in them. Overall, despite having a good time in Dirty Bones I wouldn't recommend them too highly. It's not that they are bad, just that there are nicer places to eat in Kensington.
