Stax Diner (Soho)

• Bea Vo is best known for her ongoing Bea's of Bloomsbury success but she also built up quite a following with her weekend diner in the Maltby St Market area
• We arrived just as last orders were being taken
• Including The Big Stax (28 dry aged Pedigreed Sussex Beef on Balthazar Brioche with Spicey Comeback Sauce
• So a return trip is definitely in order
• The Stax Po'Boy with cajun spiced popcorn shrimp on brioche and an eye catching Cajun Onion Blossom are on my to eat list
• We left space for a couple of decadent Duffin Sundaes Bea's famous buttermilk and nutmeg duffin (doughnut vs muffin) with French Vanilla Ice Cream
• I also need to get along for a Stax brunch which is now up and running every Sat Sun from 8am til 2pm
• Balthazar Brioche French Toast with Caramelized Bananas and Walnuts
• Buttermilk Marinated Fried Chicken and Waffles can all be washed down with bottomless Square Mile coffee
• The burgers are simply the messiest
• The chicken and waffles was possibly as good
• From the outside you would be hard convinced that this Dinner is a restaurant that uses and serves Halal meat across all its burgers
• Because of the awesomeness of the burger i was about to eat
• Lettuce and Mayo with added onions and beef bacon and boy
• The moment I bit into it it was pure food porn
• The taste and texture was just great and the beef bacon just really enhanced the overall taste and experience
• We also ordered a side of chips which was more than enough for 2 people
• Our waiter was so nice and friendly and explained the menu to us in depth (my friend needed help with deciding on what cheese to get
• The fries are the best I've ever had
• Upon the drinks menu was overpriced coffee and tea and orange juice
• Alongside the chicken placed upon waffles witha side of maple syrup and bluberry pancakes with a side of cream and more maple syrup
• Kingly court is nestled in on the side of carnaby street
• The restaurant itself is not very big and has a array of seating
• S the attention to detail and quality which is unique&hellip
• The meat is all stunned halal and no pork is served on the premises although alcohol is
• The restaurant is the brainchild of Bea (of Bloomsbury) &ndash
• Whose scrumptious cupcakes are well known
• The menu and storyboard are inspired by her childhood memories of the Deep South
• Item stated on the menu was the Cajun onion blossom
• It was pretty tricky to eat in any dignified manner and after a few minutes of attempting neat dissection I gave up and got stuck in with my fingers
• T want to know how many calories were consumed but it was the most gluttonous thing I&rsquo
• Mains everyone I could see was ordering the halal organic beef burgers
• The burger patty itself was cooked and seasoned very well
• The beef bacon was quite salty and overpowering but I&rsquo
• M informed by frequent visitors that this is not usually the case
• Course no American diner is complete without the right drinks and Stax has milkshakes
• The ambience is fun and relaxed so it&rsquo
• The only downside was that the kitchen was quite small for a busy restaurant so expect a little wait and try not to stuff yourself on addictive onion blossom while you do
• We are really impressed with Stax Diner (Soho)
• Maybe nothing over the top but the best i have had so far
• Eye catching bit was the drum kit chandelier
• I ordered a savory dish and it was absolutely delicious
• The music here is not that great even though I've heard a lot of people giving positive reviews about it
• The shakes are also a must try here
• I went to Stax Diner (Soho) with a few friends and had a wonderful time
• Make sure that the guests are comfortable
• The restaurant is small ans nice
• We ordered a lot of food and everything was delectable
• Enjoyed it with fries from another restaurant
• The burger was amazing and I would definitely come back to Stax Diner (Soho) for their reasonably priced burgers
• Visited Stax Diner (Soho) a couple of days back and I am in love with their food
• The service offered is amazing and very efficient
• The food was delivered in time and the staff members were cooperative enough to accommodate us even in the busy hours
• Stax Diner (Soho) is very good and one place you must go out of your way to visit
• It is inspired by Southern Soul cuisine and does complete justice to it along with a few twists
• The atmosphere is quite hip and a lot of fun
• If you are looking for a place to grab a quick lunch during your office break then Stax Diner (Soho) is just an ideal one
• The service is quick and you can have a good time watching your meal being cooked live
• They also serve the best and crispy fries
• I have heard that Stax Diner (Soho) is halal certified and have also heard that Stax Diner (Soho) serves amazing burgers
• I was not at all disappointed with Stax Diner (Soho)
• Service was a bit slow and the waiters messed up with few orders
• Stax diner is a new venture from Bea Vo
• Oddly the kitchen fridge is in the dining room
• So with dining partner in crime ordered the bacon cheeseburger accessorised with sides of Cajun onion bloom
• Greaseproof paper) fits well with the decor and space
• The burger patty is out of proportion with the bun skewed to one side
• Thin sliced pickles have a good tang and work with the cheese
• The beef in the patty is some of the most loosely packed I've eaten in London
• Almost like it's been scooped out of a tub and slapped straight on the grill with a minimum of hand working or forming
• The result is a load of mince in a roll
• Although there is some great caramelisation on the outside
• Onion bloom is novel battered with Cajun spices one shared between two gives me my week's quota of onion
• Skin on double cooked fries with Cajun spices are really good
• This burger experience is a bit of a mixed bag
• I love the space and the onion bloom is innovative
• It could be a really great burger the caramelised crust on the burger is phenomenal
• Our first choice was Pitt Cue Co
• The wait time was 50 whole minutes
• Feeling the urge to stay with the burger theme
• This diner is just off Carnaby Street
• S located on the first floor and is amongst the hub of cool restaurants
• The place was fairly busy from the get go and we were promptly seated by the waitress at a window
• Cranberry sauce and with a hint of chilli
• As the burger was super packed
• All the ingredients seem to merge together and the centre was a little too soft for my liking
• The burger is pretty filling
• The restaurant is a good place to go if you like a buzzing environment
• The waiters are pleasant and helpful
• Well regarding wait time and space they have some lack but the hamburgers are fresh and tasty
• They have this spicy fries with some garlic really gnummy
• I really advice the hamburger with double steak of camberbert ( French chees) some thing different for eat outside the box
• The menu we were given at 12
• Anyway we decided to stay despite this and I picked the buttermilk chicken with waffles and maple syrup as this seemed the closest option to brunch
• The waffle was a large circular thing and super tasty
• Unlike his iced tea which was lush and in a super cute glass
• The atmosphere is good but seats are lacking
• Thats main attraction is chicken and waffle
• Once it hits your taste buds you see that this combo is a little less crazy and a lot more tasty
• This is the place to go if you have had a long day of shopping on Oxford street or even if you are out with friends and really want to just chill and enjoy some good food
• That do their best to make you feel at home
• Your seats are in a position which allows you to see the bar and the kitchen
• This is good for those that like to know how their food is cooked or who are just nosey and like to see what happens behind the scenes
• Cajun spiced popcorn shrimp on a brioche bun with spicy comeback sauce lettuce and tomato or
• The chicken was moist and soft to cut
• The coating did separate from it a bit but that was still delicious
• It wasn't as crispy as i was expecting but as i said
• It is not as good as chicken and waffle in america but its the best one I have had in London
• They had a special soda of the day which was fanta grape
• Also i tried my cousin's cajun fries which were a bit dry so not so good
• Considering a few window seats were in front of an open window which made us feel a bit cold
• Querky little diner with shakes and burgers
• Onion rings and medium lamb burger with brioche buns
• Fairplay it was still awesome
• My initial expectation was to be greeted with something I had already had before
• The identikit sandwich accompanied with the inevitable Ferrero milkshake
• I think the main difference I found was that this wasn't a place designed for and marketed to Muslims
• That's significant in a world where Islam is increasingly being pimped out as a brand to be traded on and commoditised
• I didn't mind because the burger was really good (I may have mentioned that already)
• A five patty cheese burger with a family portion of chips and super sized milkshake is presented to the challenger
• There's even a hall of fame/shame I was quite surprised at how long the list of failures were
• Stax Diner is a halal gourmet burger restaurant located in Kingly Court
• I order a basic cheese burger and a spicy option with carmelized onions and jalapenos
• I ordered the fries which were potatoes with a lil skin on them and tasted lovely
• The burgers are limited to beef and chicken but there is a good choice
• We were quite lucky that there was an empty table when we got to the restaurant seeing as it was really busy
• Wished the chickadee was a bit more spicy but that's just because I love spicy food
• Atmosphere was great and the price was quite fair
• Overall it was a very enjoyable meal
• This was a hearty meal if ever there was one and I urge you not to come here unless you are starving but if you are
• The 3 of us still had to wait half an hour for a table but the good news was that rather than queuing
• They take your number and call you when your table is ready and luckily for us
• Each dish on the menu sound solid but my eye were immediately drawn to both the popcorn shrimp in brioche bread or the butterilk fried chicken waffles
• They have a tempting range of milkshakes and non alcoholic drinks but fully aware of how filling the main courses are going to be
• It wasn't quite clear to us whether we were expected to go up to pay at the counter or simply whether they were being a little slow to the table
• We all commented that this would be a restaurant to return to with the men and whilst it's certainly not the healthiest food in town
• This diner was a bit smaller than I imagined so it wouldn't be a place you would want to go to with a large group
• The chicken and waffle was the standout dish of the night and I would highly recommend it
• Not my favourite but they were not bad by any means
• A very quirky place off of Carnaby Street and is often filled up quickly
• I think I take a friend with me next time and will definitely try out their burgers as they looked awesome
• I had waffles with chicken (wierd combo) and made me sick on top of that with maple syrup however it's the most popular and raved food in their place
• The Mojitos were nice and fresh but they could have done with a bit more lemon flavor
• The burgers were nice and big
• The seasoning was good and was added enough to cover the fries but not overpower them
• It's a nice place for dinner and the prices were reasonable
• The burgers are really good and there are a lot of options
• Also the shakes are really nice
• Fries were ok but tasted really nice with ketchup and their homemade hot sauce which was a nice salsa sauce
• I wanted a spicy burger but their insanity burger had fried onion rings which is a bit much for a small burger tummy like me
• A hippy Southern American style diner that caters with halal meat
• The original plan was for chinese buffet as we were in Soho but Stax Diner (Soho) came up
• The fries were really crispy and the presentation of the food was impressive
• This visit was on a Monday afternoon &ndash
• The vibe this time round was way more chilled instead of being all busy and hustling
• One of the main reasons for this re visit is for a specific dish
• Board which is off the regular menu
• I couldn't be any more delighted that it is precisely what I came back for it is something that had me hooked ever since I last saw it on the 'special menu' board a year ago
• So this big secret is a waffle burger stack consisting of beef then chicken
• I got the regular cheeseburger popcorn shrimp Nd regular fries with virgin mojitos
• In all fairness the meat was well cooked well seasoned
• Nd the fact that everything was حلال was such a plus 'cause we could've chose from what we wanted even their 'bacon' was halal beef lool
• Staff were attentive Nd the cute lady was so helpful
• If burgers are your thing
• I've had one hit and one miss outing at Stax previously so far and this was the second positive visit
• So had to wait age like over 60 minute for a table the cool thing is the fact that you can go for a drinking somewhere else and follow your place in the queue throught the link sent
• After the ling wait we got 2 chairs next to the door which made the whole experience a nightmare with people coming and going and door opening and closing
• The place is small and when asked if we could move 2 chairs down as it was empty was told no (despite the fact that they were empty through our whole meal)
• Anyway food was goid went for chicken and waffle with side if fries and a milkshake
• I was fasting and came 1 hour before time to eat and I was sent away as soon as I said I'm fasting
• At first he was gonna let me in and then he said there's no tables
• I advise you to plan your visit before you go since the place is quite small and the queue for a available seat could take more than 45 minutes
• The service level is high and the burgers taste really good
• Their mojitos and shakes are a bit overpriced but however tasty
• By the time it was our turn they were out of food
• Was recommended by a friend and the food was highly spoken of
• Starters was a shrimp basket and shrimps were not crispy
• I most definitely do and the ratings on Stax Diner (Soho) was really good
• Stax Diner (Soho) is yummy with professional staff that listens to every modification and detail you want in your burger
• Stax serves classic American fast food fare at the glorified food court that is Kingly Court
• A starter of fried green tomatoes was slightly below average as it was lacking in salt
• Cajun fries were a repeat of the tomatoes as they were also well cooked while leaving some salt to be desired
• I found the Shrimp Po Boy to be quite tasty and generous with the amount of shrimp in the actual sandwich
• Yes the place is bloody tiny
• Is why the burger I chose 'bring home the bacon' is very clever indeed
• Had to wait for 40 minutes to get a table which is fair enough
• I must say that the chicken is one of the best I've ever had
• Unfortunately the waffle was a bit too soggy
• I would have enjoyed it much more if they were a bit harder and fresher
• The mojito's there were perfect too
• The burger is quite large
• I found that the buns were too thick and extremely buttery the butter actually brought the whole burger down
• Fries and mojitos were average and prices were decent
• We all had burgers with fries and a drink each
• For London is not very expensive
• I've chosen the burger with the least spice on it
• 8.95) features 28 day dry aged pedigreed Sussex beef on an organic buttery soft bun with grilled onion
• When I first visited I was so excited because not many places in London serve halal beef
• Their service is suffering purely because they're so busy all the time
• While the burger itself is good as are the fries
• I feel like there is no value for money
• The quality and quantity are both amazing
• Stax Diner was so so dead I ordered chicken an waffles which between my partner and I we both agreed tasted like chalk
