Honky Tonk (Clapham)

• This is perfect for a third date with someone who is a laugh a minute
• Accompanied by cheesy potato skins with beans (not mince pal
• The Key Lime Pie is buttery and rich
• S Thirsty Thursday so start with a round of Marmalade Margaritas and then bottles of wine ad infinitum
• Re making sure your date knows that tonight is no holds barred
• I went to Honky Tonk with friends for a nice sit down meal with cocktails
• The restaurant is very well located (only a quick walk from the tube station) and the atmosphere is perfect for young twenty somethings
• The portions are generous and extremely filling (in hindsight
• Maybe going for 3 courses was a bad idea) and we absolutely loved the buffalo wings and Long Island Iced Tea
• My only complaint has to be that the music is too loud to have a good conversation
• Not if you are looking forward to having a good natter
• Honky Tonk was very lively on a weekend night
• The vibe was great with a young crowd and awesome drinks
• What my friend and I loved the most were the quirky one liners on the walls and the funky menu and interesting cocktails
• This platter for 2 was well worth the price
• The pulled pork was flavourful and juicy and the bbq wings good
• The fried chicken and pork ribs were a little bit dry
• The drinks were inexpensive and good
• The service overall was great and its definitely worth a visit if you are in the area
• The whole lay out here is really cool too
• Honky tonk is a really nice place to go with friends
• The area is quite busy but the decor is light and very welcoming
• The service on the day was slow but the restaurant was quite over run so its understandable
• The prices are reasonable
• When we returned thirty minutes later it was a lot quieter and we were walked to an available table
• The first impressions were that it was very loud
• It felt like we were in the red light district
• We did feel like we were being forgotten about because it was sooo busy
• The burger was great and the relish inside added another layer with the crisp lettuce and tomato
• The corn on the cob was water logged
• The 'not'dog was tasty and the veggie frankfurter within was rather large
• Being that we were so full we couldn't manage them but also because they were way too salty and without any water
• Overall it was a good experience
• It's not the best burger I've had
• There are other burger restaurants in Clapham which are nowhere as busy
• The crowd is often made up of students and young professionals and this is probably a result of the live music often present on weekends
• Honky Tonk will leave you with no complaints and keep you coming back for more
• It's a great place for a night out over the weekend with live music and and now I know that it also serves pretty tasty food
• Throughout Honky Tonk they have wooden tables with interesting decor on the wall
• They also have a kind of metal fence in the middle of the room which breaks up the room but also adds to the decor of the cool pictures that are on the wall
• They have a wide menu with brunch options
• I went for a Blumdog Billionaire which is the typical American hot dog with onions and different sauces
• Everything was priced very reasonably and I'll definitely be back
• I had missed the rise of Honky Tonk in West London but the fact that their success lead to expansion gave me a positive impression so when I was given the opportunity to visit
• We found that the restaurant was lively which is always a good sign to begin
• Maybe I'm just impatient or look like a slow reader but even then 10 mins is excessive and would've been longer had I not spoken up
• A more sensible couple ordered the combo to share with the final order of the 'Not Fried Chicken' rounding out the mains
• We ordered a chocolate milkshake with Oreos and a vanilla milk shake with Oreos initially with alcohol but we're then informed the alcohol is actually served as a shot separate from the milkshake
• This made no sense to me but then it was explained that the milkshake was served in a traditional milk bottle so if the alcohol was combined
• The silence was the all the answer we needed
• The milkshake itself was fine but it was just as advertised a milkshake
• Now I think all this American television and their view of portion sizes may have warped my perception of what a reasonable meal for one is because when the Honky Tonk combo arrived
• Two buffalo chicken wings with peri peri sauce and two portions of rosemary chips
• Would leave you lacking which was the comment I got from the couple who shared
• It represents basically double the price of any other main so it certainty is viewed as a meal for two
• It seems a premium is attached to the variety the combo offered but taking each individual component
• I'd say everything was just average the buffalo wings were all just sauce
• ') and the ribs again was just nothing but sauce
• The saving grace were the pieces of chicken (which even then was a little dry) and the chips but when you're talking about chips as a highlight
• The 'Not Fried Chicken' main is four pieces of oven baked chicken with special coating served with a apple mustard slaw and rosemary chips and quite easily my highlight of the night
• The coating was nice and fragrant and chicken cooked well considering it's baked however
• The kitchen was busy prepping but really was this order any different to that for a big table
• Surely the pie was already pre made and just needed to be sliced and served so I'm confused as to why this caused any real issue
• Last night I was here with some friends
• The Burgers were very good and the presentation was nice on the wood plates
• Everything was priced very reasonably
• This a good place to go with your friends and have some fun
• The regular customers are young drunken people so if you are in bad mood trying to avoid on Friday night
• Apart from having to shout to communicate with my friend due to loud but lovely music and a packed space
• The Turkey Burger with goose fat roasted potatoes
• The pecan pie with rum and raisins ice cream
• Given the special night the kitchen service was a bit slow but the experience was really fantastic
• Honky Tonk Clapham is a reliable spot for BBQ and booze that won't break the bank
• We kicked off with some rum laced cocktails
• Though there is much better in London
• You might have more luck with their Honky Dogs
• The honky Tonk has a saloon feel but with more humor with funny little signs and quotes are all over the walls
• While the food is admittedly good and filling
• Then checking out the menu on the website and spying the yummy looking photo of a chocolate brownie with ice cream (I am a complete sucker for this dessert) I was really looking forward to eating here
• Unfortunately as an eatery it was a real disappointment
• Then changed it twice (both times they were very accommodating)
• When we finally arrived we were greeted by a friendly waitress
• So ordered a passion fruit juice (tasted like it just came out of a carton) and a hard shake (chocolate milkshake with a shot of amaretto) it said "
• What arrived was an anaemic looking milkshake in 'a vintage milk bottle'
• Though not advertised it also came with Apple slaw
• Corn on the cob and Apple slaw (we didn't realise the combo came with a small side of this and waitress didn't mention either)
• When the food came I was a little surprised by the size of the combo
• My husband thought they were going to bring out another platter as the portions were so small (they didn't
• The coating was a bit soggy
• The Apple slaw was fairly tasty
• I enjoyed the pulled pork the most especially mixed with the mac n cheese
• The Mac n cheese by itself was a tad greasy
• Though can't go too wrong with corn on the cob
• I ordered the chocolate brownie with ice cream (changed the vanilla to mint choc chip) and my husband ordered the pecan pie
• The mini marshmallows added to it were like plastic in my mouth
• 1 spoonful was all I could muster
• Again the staff were nice and friendly
• As a huge fan of all things American I was really excited to try out Honky Tonk
• On arrival we squeezed through the crowds taking advantage of the 5 8 happy hour and were seated though in a quieter room in the back
• Joining in with the majority of customers we went straight for cocktails
• A little buzzed it was time for food
• I went for the vegetarian option which was made up of a hearty helping of roasted aubergine
• A generous portion of grilled halloumi cheese and guacamole with a side of sweet potato fries which were £
• Messy and full of actual vegetables that were stacked so high it required two hands and a few napkins
• The sloppy ingredients were held together perfectly by the sweet
• The only criticism In have of the food was the trendy silver pot the fries where served in as they made them cold within a few minutes
• Made up of a spicy burger topped with red jalapeñ
• Both of us were so full after out large mains dishes that we skipped on desert and went for another cocktail instead
• S favourite drink with Jack Daniels &
• My poor decision making skills seemed to go down very well with my man friend who got to drink both
• Honky Tonk was not fine dining
• The menu was created using seasonal ingredients with fully traceable meat sources and the portion sizes were generous which for me is key to any authentic american eatery
• Honky Tonk (Clapham) is a perfect homage to the American dive bar
• Nice American style bar with typical diner food options
• Cocktail list is very traditional too
• We started with the Marmalade Margarita and Raspberry Caipirinha
• I can say with certainty that these were some of the most well made cocktails I have ever had
• The husband's quesadillas were more humble in portion and a perfect warm up for the upcoming party in the mouth
• Well made chicken with perfect buns and relish
• The ambiance is nice and simple
• Service is fabulous the lady who served our table was a cheerful person
• One thing I wasn't pleased about is the loud music
• When we first arrived it was difficult to find waiting staff to seat us
• When we went to the back of the restaurant and found them they were very friendly throughout
• They were okay but not the best flavour or quality
• The sweet potato fries side was a welcome change from regular chips
• Portions are filling the half a bbq chicken was fortunately not as big as I thought it would be
• The chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert came on a slate and was nice and gooey
• It was certainly popular with the early 20 something crowd
• The foot path seating is a great place to watch the world go by
• The drinks were packed full of fresh fruit rather than artificial flavours which was good to see
• It seemed popular with others around us
• The service was happy and friendly
• It was an OK experience with everything you would expect for your run of the mill high street bar
• I visited Honky Tonk (following a suggestion of a good friend of mine) yesterday with my friends and we experienced really good food combined with an excellent service
• Nachos with chicken) my favourite one was Mozarella sticks
• I have to say that though it was not a spanish/mexican restaurant Quesadilla and Nachos were really good there
• Comparing with others I have tried before it was far far the better
• All in all it was really good food (good value for money
• As well) and the relaxing atmosphere was an excellent choice for lazy
• I have no idea why Honky Tonk (Clapham) was pretty empty on a sunny Sunday afternoon when The Alexandra next door was packed because it was well decorated with friendly staff and a HUGE selection of drinks
• The front 'garden' was drenched in sun and be assured
• The service was great and I loved the decor
• Really felt like I was somewhere other than clapham (as much as I love it)
• The service was quick &
• Popped in for lunch with my partner as I have always wanted to come and try Honky Tonk (Clapham) and I finally did
• The American diner experience was never experienced with staff who frankly didn't even notice us we were constantly waving our arms about while the staff huddled at the bar chatting
• The starter and the main I ordered had th same chicken just one was covered in bbq sauce and the other was on a pancake with maple syrup
• I would say the food was ok but no one wants to pay for ok food especially at these prices when for the Same amount you can go dip and flip
• Popped in for authentic American dinner with my daughter place was quite dark
• I can't drink alcohol so ordered asked if they could make me a virgin pina colada but was told they cannot make it
• My daughter ordered the chicken and waffles which tasted ok except instead of putting maple syrup it was covered in golden syrup
