. The cocktails were good quality and they keep coming round taking drinks order ensuring that you go the moneys worth.
The food was excellent and most of our table ordered the Mac Daddy burger and raved about it!
The staff were excellent, attentive and friendly
Loved the steak and the burgers fro here the Dirty Bones indeed serves up some remarkable food over here, really so amazing and delicious it was!
Went here with my family one night in Kensington. The entrance was pretty subtle and easy to miss. It was pretty packed when we were there but we were promptly seated and served. Loved the steak and burgers, loved the ambiance as well.

Dirty Bones is f&*king glorious. Let me add a small caveat to that statement: I was (conservative estimate) 8 drinks in by the time I got there. I hope when I die my heaven is dirty bones except that I don’t get morbidly obese from eating it every day for every meal. But if I’m honest I hope heaven is also me giving like, -7 f&*ks about what I look like.
Decent burgers and good chips! It should be noted that the brunch menu (which includes lunchtime) is different to the normal menu online which I'm guessing is the dinner menu. Ribs etc weren't avaliable at lunch :(
Them bones got me falling in love. The dining hotspot in Kensington is quite something, outside your looking at a scruffy coffee hot dog takeaway counter and a staircase leading to the basement. Bright red neon lights reflect the mirrors with Dirty Bones Cocktail bar and restaurant and a crossbone.
Don't be fooled by this down beat exterior!!!
You stand outside and think... No...
As a couple who stood next to me did and walked away! Big Big Mistake!!!
Let me let you into a little secret! This is the best burger in London bar none! The food, the music, the drinks and the staff are amazing!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
A bright red neon sign and a tiny door leads down to a dark staircase, push through the mysterious door to reveal the foyer/reception of Dirty Bones where you will be shown to your seat. The foyer has a bar and arcade paraphernalia. The seated area is assorted with attractive quirky décor such as the patterned tile tables, mismatched lights and lanterns and painted/printed bookcase on the wall. The word PLAY is lit up with the individual letters sitting at playful angles.
You know the feeling, it’s Sunday morning and the effects of the night before are rearing their hungover head. You need sustenance and maybe a touch of the hair of the dog. Step up to the plate Dirty Bones in Kensington. They have just launched their Hangover Brunch. A menu with just the right touch of carbohydrate based dishes to cure all that ails, or at least make you feel like a semi-functioning person again. My visit started with learning how to make a Dirty Mary. A mix of vodka (and not too much tomato juice), Louisiana hot sauce, mint, sour cream crisps around the rim and some other stuff. Don’t worry though, you don’t need to set to work like me, yours will be made for you. It was a great way to start the brunch and that.......
Oh that terrible hangover after all the holiday festivities, I welcome you with a big hello, unkept hair and undereye bags fit for two round-trip tickets to the moon and beyond. And now I could really do with that hair of the dog potion from a few Sundays ago when Dirty Bones invited a few bloggers down to their South Ken branch for brunch and a masterclass on how to make a very interesting Bloody Mary.
Dirty Bones is essentially an American comfort food diner. Think burgers, hot dogs, chicken and waffles. They've got two branches so far South Kensington and Kingly Court. The original in South Ken branch transforms at night into a cool retro cocktail bar with a couple of DJs (Thursdays to Saturdays) spinning sould and old school funk. This space also serves as a private dining area where you can hold bespoke events to your fancy.
Very tasty food, went for a birthday and service was excellent. Good music with a live DJ playing songs and creating a great atmosphere.
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!
Food was amazing. Would recommend trying the Southern Fried Donuts, also the Flat Iron Steak and the Crunchy Lamb Fries.
The staff were great and so was the service.
Will definitely visit again
What a lovely evening spent having dinner! Being a vegetarian, finding somewhere that does actually good vegetarian food, is a struggle but wow Dirty Bones did deliver. Both mine and my partners burgers (veggie and none veggie) were delicious and side of chips were spectacular. Accompanied with a refreshing cocktail, I would highly recommend.
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.
My wife and I visited last night and we both had a great time. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but when you go downstairs it is such a cool venue. The way they've decorated it doesn't really feel like you're in a basement. The staff are so friendly, they made the visit much more enjoyable. Then the food.... it's really good! Chicken and waffles and a mac m cheese burger were cooked to perfection. Definitely worth a visit, whether you're in a couple or a large group.
This is my second visit to a Dirty Bones chain, the food is incredible as is the decor. The staff are very friendly with a great attitude. On the food, I ordered fish tacos and it was simply a mouthwatering but delicate experience. Really enhanced by fresh lemon juice and light dressing.
Very accommodating and such great vibe and ambience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is out of this world amazing. My girlfriend had the ribs which just melted in your mouth and I had the double mac burger. OMG love it. I will return, thank you.
The chicken waffle was delicious and the experience was super fun, went with a couple of friends and had the best time ever. Our server was Miriyam who was so amazing and funny and made sure our bottomless brunch went so well!
Would recommend
