Absolutely delightful place that has quickly become one of our favourites. The food is priced well, and the small menu makes the quality and taste really stand out. We went twice in a span of three weeks and look forward to returning again and again. Service is also very prompt and friendly. Top quality restaurant all across the board.

The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was great. The popcorn at the start was a nice touch. The steak was delicious. Found the sides too small though, my partner left despite having a steak and a macaroni cheese he was still hungry. Would come again and order more sides!

★★★★★

The restaurant offers great value for money. I recommend ordering the steak medium-rare; the fries and creamed spinach are both delicious! I always suggest this place to friends—the prices are reasonable, and the food is excellent! After the meal, you can even get ice cream. I’m not usually a fan of ice cream, but this is the best I’ve ever had.

Great spot for a steak! The meat was cooked just right, the sides were super tasty, and the prices were fair. The free ice cream was a nice surprise, and the staff were really friendly. We really enjoyed our meal—highly recommend it!

It was brilliant! The steak was good for the price really well cooked and the sides were amazing. Ice cream was a surprise star as well. Beef dripping popcorn was a nice touch too. Whole place smelt incredible of cooking steak.

Absolutely lovely as any flat iron! We got incredibly lucky as we checked online and saw no availability but decided to try anyway and were able to reserve a table at 6:45 in person! I'm not sure what the name of our waitress was who did this for us but she was amazing. Food is always delicious and cant go wrong with an ice cream as a treat at the end.

Since we visited Cambridge in an off peak season, we didn’t have to wait much in the queue. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The food was great especially the side of roasted aubergine and the mash potato. They offered free ice cream at the end but it was extremely sweet. All in all, it was a good experience.

Service was brilliant from a young lady called Jess. Absolutely beautiful and helpful . The food was great. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Only down fall was the young Male bartender in his nose in direct view behind the bar removing hes peicing and picking and squeezing whatever was in his nose. Then not to wash has hands or remove the glove he was wearing. To then proceed to making customers drinks and dry glasses. Absolutely disgusting! I notify the manager on duty who seemed to say something to him . However he remained behind the bar with the same glove and unwashed hands. Was so unpleasant to see. I of course did not allow this youngster to make my drinks. I will be back as its a really nice place to eat!

I have been looking forward to this restaurant. It felt like it was a pre-made dish. The steak and grilled eggplant were served two minutes after ordering. The grilled eggplant tasted okay, but the steak did have a pre-made feel and tasted very average. Finally, the waiter asked about the dining experience. I said it was average, but I quickly refunded the service fee. The free ice cream at the end was pretty good, so I just came here to eat ice cream.

December 16, 2024

No starters and no desserts Very little choice of veg. My husband had t bone £55.00 He wasn t given a choice as to how he wanted it cooked.They always cook it medium rare and he likes medium to well done so it s too rare for him but he did eat it. No cooked tomatoes or mushrooms very disappointing for the money we paid ! Won t be going back.

We ate here for lunch. There are some interesting things here that I found pleasantly surprising. Firstly, there is only one steak, the Flat Iron steak, for 14 pounds, although it is a bit on the small side but the price is reasonable. I wish there cold be more expensive options for bigger cuts of meat, given that that wasn t filling enough for lunch. However, there is free popcorn served when you are waiting for your dishes, and the steak knife is a mini-cleaver. Moreover, when you have paid, the staff give you a mini-cleaver keychain that can actually be exchanged for free ice cream! I like that they charge 1.5.pounds to discourage you from putting sauce on the steak, as the steak is well flavoured naturally. Dietary restrictions: Waiters ask for allergens.

We had already quickly established Flat Iron as one of our favourite chains after eating at one of the London locations, and the Cambridge branch fully upheld that decision. Fantastic food at a great price, perfectly cooked and quick to arrive. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, giving us a heads up that our waiter was new to set expectations, but even then they did a brilliant job (shoutout to Ryan!). The popcorn and post-meal ice cream is always a treat. We once again left already feeling excited for our next Flat Iron visit!

Great food, value for money and wonderful customer service. There was a mixup with the orders, to no fault of our server who was lovely, and Hugo was brilliant and made sure we got the right order and had some really nice talks with him. We also got half of the bill off due to the mixup, which was really kind of the chef and the servers.

Had a wonderful experience today in Flat Iron. Walked in and seated immediately. Greeted by a very friendly and helpful waiter who I believe was called Ash. The steak and the truffle burger were absolutely delicious and priced very reasonably I think for what you get. Free popcorn and ice cream too just to make it even better. Best meal out I ve had in quite a while

We went here before going to The Cambridge Corn Exchange to see Squeeze. The Wagyu on offer was Bavette which is absolutely amazing cooked medium. We also had creamed spinach, fries, macaroni cheese and the mash as sides. All were absolutely top notch. Would highly recommend the mash over anything else! For drink I had a Passionfruit Collins which was also very good!

★★★★★

I don t typically gush about meals I ve had, but I was genuinely blown away by my dinner at Flat Iron. From the drinks to the mains to the sides and ice cream, literally everything was perfection. I regret not having eaten here sooner, and I look forward to returning. The bone marrow mash alone is worth a trip!

Worth the wait! We waited about 30 mins for our table to be ready. The service was great with my allergies, staff were very friendly and the food was amazing! Cooked beautifully. The price was very affordable, however, the main and sides are sold seperately. £14 for flat iron steak and £3.50 for soft drinks. I would definitely recommend! Its a shame theres only a few restaurants in the UK.

Really enjoyable dinner with great food and brilliant service from Oscar. The steaks are always perfectly cooked, and the sides are all amazing. The veggie option of aubergine is just as good quality and taste as the steaks - so no reason not to go! The soft serve on the way out if the perfect way to end dinner Vegetarian options: Aubergine parmagiana - fantastic!

Loved my meal there! Started with some popcorn, a great way to start the meal. The Wagyu steak I would highly recommend. Had it with sides of chips with peppercorn sauce and Mac & cheese. My partner had the regular steak which she enjoyed with mashed potato. The Pinot Noir wine was really nice with the meal too! Staff were really friendly and service was swift, not forgetting the bonus of free ice cream afterwards, tasted really good. Will be returning back on another trip to Cambridge.

Great place to have a well-cooked steak! Good customer service and clearly a company that is expanding, as they ve just opened their brand-new restaurant in Manchester too. The steaks are cooked very well and presented nicely. Not too expensive, but not on the lower end of the spectrum either. A good meal for two with a drink will easily come to £90. Worth the cost as the value is very good. #steak

I recently dined and was thoroughly disappointed, particularly with their highly anticipated wagyu steak. Despite the expectations, the steak was unchewable, though the taste was passable at best. The only redeeming part of the meal was the free ice cream, which was genuinely enjoyable. The service was good , but didnt make up for the poor quality of the main dish. On a positive note, the atmosphere and decoration were quite good, providing a pleasant dining environment. However, this alone isnt enough to warrant a recommendation.

We are regulars at Flat Iron in Covent Garden and just love the chain. Saw that they have a nicely decorated branch in Cambridge and decided to give it a try. We all took the Wagyu Picanha and enjoyed it - rare is the way to go! Friendly service, though they almost forgot our popcorn. Disappointed though that almost everywhere they have switched to the tasteless soft serve ice cream, prefer the salted caramel one at Covent Garden.

Amazing night and amazing staff. My partner had booked us a meal for my birthday on the Wednesday evening. The restaurant had to unfortunately close at short notice due to possible riots taking place that evening and them wanting to keep staff and customers safe. After speaking to them in just a normal way and not even complaining they offered us to come back and have a meal on the house which we couldn t believe. We re booked for the Friday evening that week. From the moment we arrived we were treated like complete vips. From Milla arranging it all for us and taking us to the table and ensuring we were ok through the night to Jay - USA our waiter being just amazing and explaining everything to us from the different steaks down to the sides and drinks. And a massive thanks to the general manager Gracia. The whole atmosphere and decor was just what I like modern with a quirky twist. Now the food was in my opinion absolutely amazing and one of my top 5 meals I have had to date. From the soft and tender steak to the beef dripping chips and the Mac and cheese was completely out of this world. Carl and Katie would like to say a massive thank you for making the evening so special for us and for a birthday meal I will never forget. Can t wait to come back again in the future and try something different.

Flat Iron had been recommended, but there are not many in my area. So when we got the chance we went to the one in Cambridge. Went for lunch on a Sunday. Firstly, we walked in at 11ish and the lady took our reservation for 4 at 1pm but without a name. Of course when we went back customers were queuing out the door but sure enough, she remembered us and we were taken to the table. Surprisingly brilliant. Ash looked after us at the table. His knowledge was amazing and service was fabulous. He made some really good recommendations and all of us loved our food. It was the loveliest steak meal we had eaten for a long, long time. Puddings were great too. Definitely recommend the restaurant, and there is a lovely treat at the end.. but I wont spoil the surprise. Thanks, Flat Iron and Ash.

The food was good, the stake was cooked nicely and the sides were tasty. The server helped us with the menu and gave us details of the cuts and the different stakes. The burger was the most tasty dish. Loved the chips. The knife/cleaver was good fun but it was very bland. Could do better job with a knife. Unless you order a few sides, the steak itself is not enough to fill your appetite. If you are really hungry, this is not the place for you. Having said that, it was a nice experience and one of the places you need to visit in Cambridge. ££££ If you beleive this review has been helpful for you, please don t forget to press the button and also to check my other reviews.Thank you.

Simple choice steak menu, 4 cuts of meat, it should be easy, a couple of sides, and your home. A mug of beef dripping popcorn munch on whilst you are waiting. The maim arrive on a board a central stone so its hot and sizzling. Great side of tomato and onion salad with flavoured chips - magic. I added aubergine, tomato basil & mozzarella. Its certainly different, no starters limited mains, one desert, but these guys know their steak and produce a very good reasonably priced lunch. A different offering to Hawksmoor and the like, but in many ways better. I am a convert!

First time visiting Flat Iron at the proposal of a friend of mine and I only have great things to say about it! We ordered a Wagyu (crossbred) steak, flat iron steak, macaroni and cheese and also fries along with a coke and a passion fruit cocktail. Altogether it came to about £67 + tip. Although a little pricey for a regular meal out, the quality was fantastic! Oh and the service, my goodness the service! Absolutely wonderful all around! Jess was probably one of the best waitresses I ve ever had the pleasure of encountering anywhere. And by God if she isn t rewarded with at least a free passion fruit cocktail after this smfh All in all 10/10 and Vegantards beware

Great ambiance and SPECTACULAR FOOD! The steak was cooked just right and great value for money. The free popcorn and free ice cream were definitely a big plus to the overall experience.

We ordered to share, between 2 people. Portion is really small even if you ordered sides. Food was quick. We spend £50 and believe me is not a proper size to share.

I had Flat Iron experience with my husband twice in London, but Cambridge is so cool! Kindly and helpful staff welcomed us with smiley faces. Meat of the day Picanha wagyu was perfect prepared, sides (creamy spinach, fries and crispy bone marrow garlic mash) too! Highly recommend for all meat lovers. Staff deserves for good pay raise.

All three of us had a bad stomach after eating there. Bad service. It was impossible to distinguish between staff and guests as they did not wear work clothes. When we entered the restaurant, no one was interested in the fact that new guests were coming. After the drinks and the food were served, no one was interested in whether we needed anything else or wanted to drink anything else. Air conditioning was very cold, it was chilly.

I recently visited Flat Iron Steak and had an exceptional dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. One of the highlights of my visit was the excellent service provided by Ash. Ash was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure every detail of my dining experience was perfect. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. The flat iron steak was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. The sides complemented the main dish wonderfully, and the presentation was top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend Flat Iron Steak for anyone looking for a fantastic meal with outstanding service. I will definitely be returning, and I hope to be served by Ash again!

I got the flat iron steak with peppercorn sauce and beef dripping chips. The steak is a decent size for the price. It was nicely cooked. The chips are probably some of the best that I ve had in the UK crispy and perfectly salted. The free ice cream at the end was a great bonus. You can tell it s high quality by how delicious and creamy it is.

After the death of some close relatives, and my dog, I thought my sadness would never expire. But then I ate at the Flat Iron. Everything about my experience here made my life better and worth living. Everything from the fresh popcorn they served to the small but exceptionally tasty and tender steak was perfect! Especially the life changing mashed potatoes. My depression is cured!

Steaks are tiny, I left more hungry than when I went in. Chips are drenched in nasty seed oil. Poor service from the indian waiter last week, asked me to pass him the glasses and plate! Who is serving who! On the bill there is a 12.5% service charge and a donation to charity which are automatically added to the bill. What a wasted opportunity.

Definitely worth a visit. I enjoyed every minute of being there. The only disappointment is the size of the steak. If youre an adult, youll definitely want something more than that. For two persons, weve ordered: 2 steaks, a portion of fries, mac and cheese, bone marrow mash, all the sauces and 4 beers. This amount of food was just enough for two of us to satisfy our hunger without feeling full. The cheque was around £70. My steak was medium well, very tender and delicious. All in all, every dish was delicious but each portion was tiny, which makes you want to order more. A very nice touch is a small portion of ice cream before you leave. Its free and exceptionally delicious! Bottom line: if I visit Flat Iron again, Ill definitley go for 2 steaks. Lets be honest: steak is the only reason why I came here, and the portion is too small for one person.

I went there because of its reputation. Many Hong Kong people recommended it on the Internet, but the reputation was far from true! We ordered Wagyu and Signature, let s share and try them out. There is no major difference between the product and the photo on the outline, and the appearance will be received after delivery. When you hold it in front of you, there is no meaty aroma at all, and the food is very chewy. You need Zhao Haonai to swallow a piece first, but the meaty taste is light. I think it seems to be cooked using the slow method. My chickens are cooked to varying degrees but not much ginseng comes out! Everyone is very disappointed! !

Went for a date night with my partner. Food was amazing the quality of the steaks and the way they were cooked were incredible and the sides were delicious too. The biggest thing however was the service here. It was so refreshing to have this type of service in a restaurant in a day an age where it feels so hard to get that. Big compliments especially to Hugo who looked after us all night. Thank you so much

If you like steak, look no further. Their signature steak, the flat iron is excellent, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The side of bone marrow mash and truffle Mac and cheese where equally good. Excellent service with pop corn and ice cream on the house were an added bonus. Highly recommended.

What a lovely restaurant! The food is simply sublime, with myself and my brother having the cheese burger which tasted like heaven, and my family having steak, which I tried and tasted wonderful. The sides are lovely and the chips and cream spinach especially were delicious! The service was rapid and accustomed to our specific orders (Im a bit of a picky eater) and the drinks were also good too. The free popcorn offered is nice and cleverly makes us thirsty and drink more(although I have no problem with it), and the free ice cream is delicious, and suitable to have on the way out. would HIGHLY recommend to anyone around with some spare lunchtime and will happily go back for years!

As always, they keep the mark. Delicious meat. I decided to try the wagyu this time, turned out the branded regular tasted better. Not bad lemonade. A nice bonus in the form of popcorn and ice cream. Always happy to see restaurants that offer water. Cool interior, I would like to get on the 2nd floor, but alas closed. But all impression at the end spoils a little impudent service of the waitress, who on the one hand did everything right, but on the other intonation and style of communication causes dislike. I suggest you try the plain meat, butter sauce and baked aubergines and tomatoes on the side.

Ordered flat iron steaks and the mash, spinach and chips as sides. The steaks and mash were amazing. Price is very reasonable - two steaks, three sides and two cocktails came to a total of 60. The free ice cream at the end is always bonus. The service was mediocre, waited quite a bit to be seated as when we walked in no staff attended us. But the waitress serving our table did a good job explaining the menu. Overall decent experience.

I love flat iron, this isn t the first time I have been. I ve also been to a couple in London and have never had a bad experience. Really quick service, cocktails are tasty which is a bonus. Steak is always cooked to perfection and chips have always been piping hot. The popcorn to start and ice cream at the end is a really nice touch Parking: Only place to park is Grande Arcade car park, which is free after 6pm.

One of the best restaurants for a steak cooked well. Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, my waitress Betsy was super helpful and it couldn t have been a better meal to celebrate my birthday with. Amazing atmosphere and all of the sides are to die for. With the popcorn to start and a token to get a free ice cream at the end, it s a great experience the whole way through. I d recommend this place to anyone and will always come back! Thank you all :)

Good value food. Steak was lovely. The only trouble was my sister found a hair in the Mashed potato. Staff were great though and dealt with it efficiently. They did offer to bring up a new dinner but as wed shared sides (and also because it would mean another wait) they took the sides from the bill. Service is included on the bill which is one of my pet hates. I like to choose how much service charge I pay. But all in all it was very nice and I would go again.

I came here on my birthday to treat myself, as I had been wanting to try Flat Iron for a while. While I was bummed that I couldn t make a reservation for one online, when I arrived they were able quickly find me a seat. I was first served their citrus infused water and beef fat popcorn, which was very good! I ordered the sirloin steak special, bone marrow and garlic mashed potatoes and the creamed spinach. It took maybe 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The steak was cooked beautifully and the sides were fantastic. My only criticism is that I wish the steak had been seasoned a bit more. The atmosphere in this restaurant was truly amazing though, the music was great and they weren t trying to be some pretentious steak house. They do what they know and they do it well! Vegetarian options: There are no vegetarian entrees, only sides. Dietary restrictions: It seems as though Flat Iron would be able to accommodate most dietary restrictions as their menu is relatively simple.
