this is by far the best diner outside of the us I have ever been to. and I have been to many :-) I love ed’s!!! I just love it! especially this one! great place, great food, great people and sorry to say that… most importantly… the most amazing and original malt shakes around!!! I would LOOOOOOVE a vanilla malt shake right now!!!
go there, sit down, order anything plus a malt shake and just ENJOY!!! and if its full… wait! go for a quick walk or so… it’s certainly worth the wait!

Yeah - this place is a must.

Fun place to take visitors: we took a friend from Zimbabwe’s daughter there.

Haute cusine it is not: just a fun American diner with fun authentic decor. Check the website. The burgers are actually made out of real meat, and boy is that a change these days!

If you want to go somewhere after the theatre, it is ideally situated.

I was a bit disappointed last time that they were no longer serving freshly-pressed orange juice, because that was another thing that made it special. I hope they track this down on the Net and get the message. ;-))

Love it here.

This place is excellently situated for a hot meal before or after a visit to the theatre, cinema or Soho.

It gets busy really easily but the turn around is very quick.

The portions are ample and the food is always piping hot.

You HAVE to try their malts ;0)

As fast turn around burger bars go you cannot beat Ed’s - I especially love the traditional American Diner decor.

Best place for a quick burger in Soho if you want to avoid the fast food. It’s a really small, horseshoe shape of a diner, so can get really crowded but is always lively and fun.

It can be quite expensive because you have to order burger and fries separately but food doesn’t take too long to arrive and always tastes good.

Go for the Oreo shake. Amazing and totally illegal.

My four stars go to the yumminess of everything I ate yesterday afternoon pre-Euro08 final. I was so hungry and wanted exactly what I got - a fresh cheese burger straight off the griddle, comforting gooey chilli cheese fries, and the opportunity to wash it down with a thick oh-so-sweet oreo shake. Oh lord. Cute 1950’s-themed restaurant, but tiny, the service was great, with smiles all round, and super-fast food. I resented the high prices, but then again, I did’t want to eat a rubbery cheap McD’s burger. My 'Cheese on Cheese’ Burger was on the small side, compared to my favorites in NYC, however, I think Ed’s burgers are just as good, if not, better tasting!
Yum yum yum, I will be craving Ed’s next time I find myself in Soho. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

We ran into Ed’s as a last minute feed before we were heading to the theatre, and it was so much fun we thought we were in a classic 60s American movie!

The head waiter running the joint had the whole accent “Wha can ah(I) do fo ya lovely people?” and so we went the full hog - fries, burgers, and yeah - the peanut butter milk shake!

It’s authentic, fun and quite good value for money. And we loved the jukebox :-)

Small american diner in Soho, just off Charing Cross Rd. Every star I rate on this one goes for the heavenly sweet butterscotch milkshakes - to die for. If you want a delicious milkshake, this is the place.

Despite that fact that I’m a vegetarian and try and avoid fast food restaurants at all cost I have been returning to Eds Diner for years, the reason for this, simple the milkshakes, not just any milkshake mind you, but heaven in a glass.

Decorated in the style of a 1950s diners Eds serves quality American fast food. My weakness has long been the peanut butter and banana shake, a smooth concoction of milk, peanuts sugar and pure joy. You probably wont even need to order a meal once you have ordered one of these beauties, as they are so thick and filling you will be undoing the top button of your jeans within a couple of slurps.

If you don’t get as excited about milkshakes as I do then try one of the many burger on offer, made with fresh ingredients and fries on the side you will be sure to be left stuffed, if not a little plumper. If your feeling extra hungry treat yourself to some cheesy fries, terribly synthetic but gorgeous to the taste buds.

A meal for two with drinks should set you back no more then 20 pound.

For anyone who finds themselves lost in Soho craving a burger and fries they could do worse than to visit Ed’s Easy Diner on Old Compton Street.

Not the biggest of venues it does boast an authentic menu and milkshakes to die for, superb for that morning after feeling.

Not the best or the most refined food in the world but it’ll do the trick and the service is nothing but polite.
