Blacklock City in London

Great food, service and cocktails. Would recommend. 10/10

Went here for some xmas drinks. Food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Cocktails were delightful. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Love the new beetroot dish. Definitely coming back

Excellent welcome, smiling and attentive staff. Amazing cheesecake

The more I go to Blacklock the more it confirmed that this is the best mid-range restaurant AND restaurant chain in London. They nail it every-time. Service, drinks, food, atmosphere - incredible!

Second Blacklock location I ve been to, they are very consistent. Typically attended on Sundays for the roast, but had the Porterhouse Steak; Kale and Parmesan and Sweet potato; with a side of garlic bone marrow. Cant fault them. Food : 5/5

Great steakhouse.Low key entrance, very chill and excellent staff

Everything was great, we had the all-in menu for two, as well as the cheesecake (no words can describe the cheesecake). We were served by Erold who was super kind and helpful. Would definitely visit again

Is it halal please?

The flavor of the meat, unique, a delight, congratulations, you just have to carefully check the weight of the meat, because they come with fewer grams than you ask for, for everything else, excellent, congratulations to all!!

Steak was juicy and perfectly cooked, great chips as well. Staff were rude and had an attitude, was a birthday meal but waited 20 minutes for our table, when asking the waiter to speed up the process offered nothing but attitude. No considerations were made despite this and given the occasion. Overall good food but an experience where you leave feeling like you re not considered. Would get better service for half the price somewhere else.

Both the food and service were amazing! We had the Prime rib and it was cooked to perfection! The beef dripping chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Our waiter Dermot was very helpful with recommending the best big chop and he was very attentive! I would highly recommend visiting Blacklock City! Cant wait to eat here again

What a great meal we had! The food and atmosphere was amazing from start to finish. The quality of the good was exceptional. I would highly recommend the Pigs head on toast, The Prime rib, and the white chocolate chesecake. All the staff were very accommodating, but our server Dermot was very attentive and went the extra mile. We will definitely be back again.

Something else. Ofcourse get the steak but do not miss the deserts. Try both the cheesecake and the bread pudding. Oh and that crawfish cocktail .

Amazing food. Even better staff!!

The best Sunday dinner I ve had. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time. The manager of the place George; and the staff member, James were great! They helped with everything and did everything to make our evening an unforgettable one. You should definitely try the food there. The music was also great. They have their spotify list Black Lock Dinner. Besides the steak, the bread, the wine and all the other delicious choices, the cheesecake is a must-try, too. Thanks to George and James and all the other staff members for a lovely, unforgettable evening.

Great food and exceptional service. ..love this place

Blackloch City was great. The food was really good and even better because we went on Butcher Price Monday where its £7 per 100g of meat. We didnt know this so this was a great surprise! It was buzzing and lively and we had the most friendliest waiter named Erol, who attended to our every need. We preferred this one to the Soho branch.

Rushed!! Not worth it

We went back to black lock city for a date night and had a great reception by the team there and quickly seated with a great view of the kitchen staff and their amazing culinary skills! Our waitress Anna was superb! great timing on bringing dishes out and making sure everything was ok and bringing our drinks made by the hard working bar staff Chico and Jake! Everything was delicious and it was obvious the produce is all very high quality and fresh. Which meant we had a fantastic night out. Thank you very much Blacklock!

We went for the All in roast and the cheesecake for dessert Sublime! Food : 5/5

Had my first Sunday roast here tonight. Not only were the meals fabulous (we had the pork and the beef) but the gravy made me care about vegetables I was eating more than I could consume because it was all a vehicle for the gravy. The drinks were also spectacular. The real star was the gravy and the service. Dermot went above and beyond, came out with a (piping hot) carafe of gravy to refill our gravy boat and then sent me some home.

Kasia and George and Jim are my three favourite people here ! Blacklock never disappoints. Everywhere else is terrible - just get steak at blacklock. For goodness sakes everyone stop being so silly !! Thanks to Kasia and George for an amazing night - thanks to Jim for the many times I ve dined and he s sorted me and friends out and I have failed to leave a review !!

Excellent service from host George and waitress Kasia - both real assets to the team.

Great host George

Brilliant restaurant, amazing roast dinner. Great service, highly recommend

Artur and Anna looked after us so well. Amazing service, meat, sauces and chips! Delicious!

Anna and Artui - amazing service from both, much love to them. It s is an absolute gem in London! The atmosphere is buzzing, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is nothing short of spectacular. The chops are perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the Sunday roast is hands down one of the best in the city. Great value for such top-quality food. Can t wait to go back!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and the best service from Anna and Artur! Super attentive, knowledgable and on point with all our needs.

Great place to eat, quality food at reasonable prices. Very friendly service. A classic city eatery.

Great place and delicious food. Great people, and above all Kasia, who provided us with great service. A very nice, professional and friendly person!!

Quite simply, tremendous. Really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. 1st time visiting and will certainly be back. Our group tried a variety of steaks and all were excellent from sirloin, to fillet to ribeye. Oh and the chop sauce was delicious.

A very efficient and pleasant meat restaurant! Tasty meat with perfect cooking, and well-chosen accompaniment. The staff is very pleasant. Nice basement room.

Overrated

Great roast, white chocolate cheesecake, cocktails. And great staff, especially Dermot

Overall a positive experience, if a few items unbalanced. Staff and Service, very good. Chairs and tables, poorly laid out, and very uncomfortable. Steak, quality and well cooked. Although a 200g portion is ungenerous, typically I would expect 250g per steak. Chips, excellent. Cheese, straight from the fridge and not enough crackers.

Some time ago the meat was much better ! recently I have to say not anymore. The menu could be more varied, not just limited to putting a steak on the plate and thats it, since we are talking about a restaurant they serve only meat. Even the side dishes can do better...The service always remains good, Too bad about the meat, incorrectly cooked, burnt on the outside, not very tasty...

Fantastic Sunday lunch!

Really enjoyed my most recent meal here with fast and friendly service especially from Yasia who spent time to make sure we had a great experience by talking to us and always ensuring we were happy with everything.

Delicious food, food music and friendly service in a friendly atmosphere

Fantastic steak. Better than Hawksmoor! Sides were delicious and the triple cooked chips to die for. Highly recommend

Tasty and good price, lovely atmosphere

I like the roast at Blacklock, which is reasonably priced for a good portion, but we had the sharer for 2 with only 4 potatoes! Other than that, it was as expected. Worth a try if youre in the area.

Great food at a reasonable price for The City location. Service was exceptional. Place is very busy and loud.

Wow. Nothing else to add! If you love meat, you have to come here. The chop selection is fantastic. Burger delicious. And the chips? Cant get better.

We had a lovely diner at Blacklock. The steak was delicious and the staff/service was lovely! Very good value for money for the atmosphere and the food. Would recommend 100%

Third visit to this blacklock. Never an issue. On mondays its 70% off the big chops. We got the porter house but in hindsight i would go back and get the sirloin AND the fillet as the bone is included in the price. It was exceptional. The chips are no joke and the bone marrow and garlic is the best sauce

Blacklock: A Glorious Return to Real Life In a time when half the population seems to avoid anything with a heartbeat on their plate, and drinks are mostly oat milk lattes or craft kombucha, the simple joys of steak and wine can feel like relics of a bygone era. But then, you walk into Blacklock on a Monday night that s right, Monday night and it s full. Properly full. People packed in, drinking actual wine from proper glasses, eating meat that s unapologetically charred to perfection. It feels like a reprieve. More than that, it s a reminder that life is still life, and some of us still want to eat and drink our way through it. The service? Well, flawless doesn t quite cut it. Every member of the team manages to hit that sweet spot between friendly and invisible there when you need them, gone when you don t. It s better than perfect; it s precise, intentional, and absolutely on point. The decor is dark, deliciously atmospheric. A place where you can settle in and feel properly off the grid for an hour or two. There s a buzz in the air, a low hum of satisfaction and anticipation, which only intensifies when the food hits the table. And the food. My God, the food. We had the All In, a glorious, gluttonous spread of chops and steaks heaped with reckless abandon over flatbreads that soak up every last drop of meat juice. I think it was the happiest day of my life. My wife, bless her, doesn t read these reviews, and my kids wouldn t be caught dead browsing any site with me on it, so I think I can say it: I d go back every single day if I could. Blacklock has restored my faith in humanity. It s proof that there are still places where people gather to eat, drink, and be alive. And, for that, I ll raise a glass. Or two.

Had a nice lunch. Busy considering it was Friday. Service was friendly and the food was good.

We had a great dinner, amazing food, and great and warm service provided by Dermot

Another day, another great meal. This is the 1st time visit this branch and I really enjoyed it. I had the pigs head toast. II must confess I was put off the name, but it was DELICIOUS! The toast was just right, not too hard, not too soft, the heat of the chilli combined with the gravy was fab. I could have two of those, no main, and I would have been satisfied. I had a fillet steak with the broccoli and walnut salad, which is so good Ive tried making it myself, but it never turns out right. The blacklock gravy was very moorish and perfect for dipping your chips in. If you like cocktails with a bit of heat or spice, try the usual suspect, which has a great kick. Ill be back!

Consistently great food and a very fair prices.

Been coming @blacklockchops 10 years now, had every birthday meal there since (and anniversaries, dates, celebration meals etc), 1000s of roast dinners, evej more steaks, some of the managers and staff have become some of my best friends, get made to feel special everytime I go, looked after like its my local boozer. Not short of restaurant choices in London, but no matter where I go, it never tops a meal at Blacklock. Massive thanks to @ocwilkins , @djaskeviciute and all the guys at all the Blacklocks for making me feel more like family that a customer over the years, and thanks for a wonderful birthday meal today. Ever fancy going, and Ive sent loads of friends there over the years, let me know, and Ill make sure you get a Jamesies friend welcome. Even when I visited the new one in Manchester the other week I had the same treatment and welcome. Definitely the bench mark for food; customer service and ambience for me in London... no one does it better, champagne food and service and premium lemonade prices

Please sam wark please

Full 5 star rating. Family of 4 with kids 9 and 11. Food was amazing and only bettered by the service. Our first time at Blacklock and won t be the last .

Waiters were blatantly ignoring when requesting help. Kept on speaking even after eye contact was made. Food and atmosphere was nice but service lacked.

November 2024 I recently dined at Blacklock City and the experience was lovely and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming The servers are lovely, enthusiastic and attentive to details. They provided really good advices on what menu items to choose, particularly I loved the kale and Parmesan salad and the Blacklock burger was juicy and delicious Planning to return asap A must-go if you want a place where you can eat well and be treated even better

The food was okay. Probably would go for Sunday roast but at an another branch. Service was questionable. When call for assistance, the people did not acknowledge but simply continue speaking to their colleagues. Had to ask a few time for assistance and was ignored for quite awhile to simply ask for a bill. Also, depending on the time you go, some steak or food would be sold out.

Dermot was so welcoming, friendly snd kind and the food was exceptionally good. The pale Ale too. Amazing. Wonderful mesl, lovely relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices. Excellent.

Lovely chops and bone marrow. Generous portions. Service was helpful and friendly. Atmosphere too dark and congested

The food was tasty, the porterhouse was very good and the pork was a bit overdone. Tasty additions and drinks. Nice place.

Steak

Great steak, reasonably priced and any service issues were resolved immediately

Great food and service! Highly recommended!!! Best meat in London

Came for a Sunday roast (3 meat eaters and 1 veggie). Best roast we ve had in London and the service from Dermot was top notch. Fully recommend.

Just great. Service was top notch - attentive, timely, knowledgeable and very friendly. Steak was perfectly cooked. Lovely ambience in the restaurant. Seriously well done to the team behind this place, it is everything a steak restaurant should be. I have already recommended to friends and I will definitely be back.

Food was scrumptious, service was attentive and helpful. Only one minor issue was the Aircon above us was occasionally blowing dust balls down on our table. When the staff were let know about it they quickly turned off the aircon. Otherwise, the night was a good night out. Drinks and food were top notch.

We all had a great time. Kasia made our night with her excellent service. Food was really good. For 5 people we had 4 of the all all and a 900g porterhouse. Plus cheesecake desert. Tempranillo was great wine. Recommend the Carribbean whisper as a cocktail too.

OMG!!! The best steak ever!!!!

Phenomenal roast, beef cooked to perfection, unlimited free extra roasties, Yorkshires and gravy. We had a very friendly, attentive, deeply-voiced waiter named Dermot. And birthday cheesecake to boot. Cheers mate.

Blacklock City is an absolute gem for Sunday roasts! I had the pork loin, and it was absolutely delicious - perfectly cooked with crispy crackling. The portion sizes are generous, making the pricing excellent value for what you get. The atmosphere is cozy, but be prepared for a potential wait if you dont book ahead, as the place is quite small. That said, the staff are all incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. If youre looking for a fantastic Sunday roast in the city, Blacklock is highly recommended!

Great service, the pigs head toast and the meat were excellent.

Best steak in London by miles, chips the best you will ever eat. Service phenomenal, we left the umbrella there and they called us to say we left it. Honestly, I challenge anyone to show me a better steak and chips in London! The only thing I would say it s sooooo busy every time, this is because it s soooooo good. A little cramped at times. Quick service as well. I ve been 3 times now and it s amazing every time. I wish they would expand to Essex. Chop sauce and chips and steak absolutely banging.

Blacklock has always been one of my favourite places for Sunday roast. I havent been going much for a few years now and I would after coming to this branch, say this is one of the best yorkshire puddings Ive ever had. I had the beef ribs with a yorkshire on the side, which Id recommend if youre not super hungry. Id had a late lunch, rookie mistake , but was incredibly satisfied and impressed with both the taste and portion size of my meal. The service was exceptional. We had an early booking. Its probably better to book to avoid disappointment. I noticed their weekday menu has porterhouse steak, which is my absolute favourite cut. Anywhere that does a porterhouse is legendary. I hope I get to try it at some point. :p Its what I always have in Australia, but rarely see it anywhere in the UK. It was a lovely meal and well worth going to Blacklock. I recommend Blacklock to all my friends when they are visiting London from overseas.

We strongly recommend to avoid the sharing platters. Our family are not big eaters at all but we were really shocked at how little meat is given per person. I got one small slice and when I went back for more there was nothing left and it was not as though any of the group were being greedy. Its just the portion size is so miserly. The plate is just filled with lower cost ingredients and piled high in a single sharing plate so it looks like a lot. We assumed a second plate was coming for our group of 4, but no the one plate was all they brought with the meat placed over the vegetables to disguise how little was actually there. We had to order extra meat, which unfortunately arrived after the meal was already eaten but at least we could then see the amount which is two very thin and small slices per person. Maybe 3 or 4 ounces ? Really disappointing. We had to eat again on the way home as we all left hungry. Our advice is to charge a bit more but give a decent portion size.

I recently dined at Blacklock, and it was an experience worth sharing. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the pigs head. Despite its name, it was absolutely amazing flavorful, tender, and expertly prepared. I highly recommend giving it a try! The steak was equally impressive; its evident that the chefs really know what theyre doing. Cooked to perfection, it showcased the quality of their ingredients and skill in preparation. The atmosphere at Blacklock is fantastic buzzing and vibrant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The service was top-notch as well; the staff was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu, providing insightful recommendations when we had questions about the dishes. Overall, Blacklock delivers a remarkable dining experience with outstanding food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service. Dont miss out on the pigs head and steak; youll leave satisfied and eager to return!

Food was fab and Dermot looked after us so well. Will be back!

Food was amazing. Service very good too. Great steaks. Thankyou

Fantastic night out. The staff were super friendly from the gentleman at the door who took our bags through to all of the wait staff. As a group of 4 we ordered lamb, prime rib and a porterhouse from the chalkboard along with a range of sides (the sweet potato was particularly good). Everything was delicious and I look forward to a return visit soon.

I have just had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my 59th birthday at the Blacklock City and am at a loss to put into words just what a phenomenal experience my wife and i had there! The food was matched only by the service. The most flavoursome food i have eaten in recent memory, it was like discovering new taste buds! From the Smokey flavour packed beef rib starter onwards, every mouth full was exquisite. The attentive staff went out of their way to mollycoddle us and, along with the hottest chef quartet ever, contributed to the best birthday meal experience Ive had in many (Many)! moons. Thank you so much everyone you absolutely made my day, Ill be back in 2 weeks. Just found a new favourite venue..

Second branch of this chain i visited after canary wharf. Same wonderful food with same friendly service. If you are a meat lover this is the place to try.

The Sunday roast and cheescake were really tasty and very good value for money and the service was amazing, the staff were so friendly and kept our 10 month old smiling.

Great steaks great service great atmosphere. Nothing too much trouble steaks always well cooked sides amazing garlic bone marrow life changing

This was our third time to Blacklock as were from Toronto but its an absolute staple when in town. The service is always precise and attentive and the drinks and food are excellent, so so excellent. This visit we had the pleasure of speaking with George the manager (whod just spent time in Toronto!) and he was so personable and such a pleasure to speak with. We love Blacklock and this location in particular. Well always recommend and cant wait to come back soon.

Perfect to go with a small group to share a few massive cuts. One of the best steak houses in London for economic but proper meat.

We went for a Sunday roast yesterday and all I can say is wow. We tried the all in as we didn t know which of the meats we would like most. The beef was by far the best and the one I d return to. I m not usually fond of pork but this loin was tasty. The lamb was my least favourite, I felt like I tasted more of the fat than the meat. I d still recommend doing the all in to have a taste of everything but looking forward to returning and going for the beef rump. The trimmings of Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, cabbage and carrots were all lovely too, but really the real star of the show was the gravy. I was told they start cooking it on a Tuesday and serve it on a Sunday, and you can truly taste the love and attention they put into it. Phenomenal. We also had the cheesy cabbage and a gorgeous bottle of Malbec wine, both of which I can recommend. We finished off with the white chocolate cheesecake following viral recommendations on TikTok. It was nice to finish the meal but nothing incredible. All in all very looking forward to coming back!

Great service, friendly staff, good ambience

Go for the All In option for Sunday Roast, definitely worth it. And the beefy mary is a great morning starter.

PERFECT!

Amazing food, extremely delicious, excellent service, for sure I get back !!!

5* food, service and vibe. Definitely worth a visit.

If you have been to other Blacklock locations, prepare to be underwhelmed and ignored. Blacklock Shoreditch and Canary Wharf have been our go to locations in the last years and they are 100% worth it. BUT AVOID CITY LIKE THE PLAGUE. We waited 50 mins for our food. There was no amuse bouche like in other locations. Waiters are inattentive - basically getting another drink is impossible. The steak was ok, but unfortunately part of our order never arrived. Overall it was quite a let down.

Very disappointed. I have been to Shoreditch and Canary wharf Blacklocks, service and food was a lot better. In a half empty restaurant, we waited over 50 min for our food. I had to make all kinds of signs to get a drink, although the place was fairly small. The food was acceptable, but Id recommend any other restaurant in the city for a special occasion. We booked saying it was our anniversary and we got an even worse service and location in an empty restaurant. For a £100+ dinner, youd expect a lot more. There are a lot better options nearby for similar prices.

Always a good meal and great service!

An authentic English experience. Interesting concept of serving grilled meat in small pieces. The pigs head toast and the white chocolate cake are very delicious.

Best chips we had in London. Get the gravy with them.

Best roast Ive had in London

Visited 19/10/24 Staff are super helpful,still water is FREE,drinks well priced. 3 had steaks off the menu,well cooked and tasty. I had a 400grm lamb rump,,oooo mumma ! Cooked pink,amazing flavour awesome quality and perfect for one with a good appetite, chips ate just fantastic ! Brocoli and walnut side was delicious with it. Yes,we will be back !

Dermot was excellent :) We got birthday cake!!

Perfect place to eat in London, the meat was excellent and the service unbeatable, Jarek gave us exquisite attention. Totally recommended.

Excellent service- I received a free dessert along with my impromptu takeaway order because there were no available tables

Great quality

Fantastic food with great service, very reasonable prices too.

In my opinion, this is the best branch perfect cooking, brilliant service, especially by the staff member named Dermot.

Had a great time at Blacklock City. Food was amazing. Big shout out to our excellent waiter Dermott who made the evening so much better - professional and friendly even when we asked for well done steak :)

Lovely place for a sunday roast! We got the £26pp all in set which comes with pork, beef and lamb along with some roast veg - it was delicious! Beef was the best though. Atmosphere is very vibey

Visited Blacklock yesterday with my husband,daughter and son in law, we were greeted by friendly staff members, Caitlyn the girl behind the bar very kindly made myself and my daughter a cocktail that wasnt on the menu which we really appreciated (thank you) and the food was amazing,will definitely be back for another visit.

My husband and I had just arrived in London and were famished. We didnt have reservations but came early and were seated with the stipulation that they needed our table a mere two hours later (no problem). The host was super friendly and gave us travel tips for our trip, our server was timely and also provided excellent recommendations. My husband had, in his words, the best burger hes had in Europe (hes been living here for a year). I had the Denver steak. It was an excellently prepared lean cut. That, combined with the tomato salad and the 15 hour roasted sweet potatoes made for deliciously satisfying but not guilt ridden meal. Make sure you save space for dessert! My apple crumble paled next to my husbands cheesecake served tableside with warm berry compote. They were both worth every bit of it. The only reason for the 4 star on atmosphere is the fact that it got very busy and was a bit loud (no soft surfaces to absorb the lively conversations). We really enjoyed every bit of our experience and highly recommend!

Never had a Sunday Roast experience quite like this ever. Theatre food experience at its best. Nice combo after the Sky Garden visit.

From my experience in all the countries in the United Kingdom this is the only restaurant that had excellent taste and very good service. The lamb steaks are 10 and the dessert (Pay) is very delicious

Food was nice and I think the price is fair (given that we did not order any prime cuts). These (food in photo) with a couple of sides have managed to feed the 4 of us well. Unfortunately service is on the slow side. I will still visit again for the future for the food but will ensure I do not go if I don t have much time to spare.

Blacklock in City, London, is a fantastic spot for a great meal without breaking the bank. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. The service is laid-back and friendly, making the dining experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The menu is packed with delicious options, from perfectly cooked meats to tasty sides, all bursting with flavor. Whether youre out with friends or just looking for a good meal, Blacklock is definitely worth a visit!

Visited them twice over the past few weeks and, oh, boy - the greatest Sunday roast, cosy atmosphere and super friendly stuff who run after me to the street with my phone which had slipped out of my pocket unnoticed. Go on Saturday for meat and super yummy fried fries. And on Sunday for roast - always fun!

Got there for the Sunday roast . We had the lamb and the pork. Both were excellent. The couple at the next table had the combo roast platter, of which I am including a pix. Service was excellent even though it was quite busy.

Absolute 10/10 experience. Steaks have an awesome flavor and the beef dripping chips are the one.

Second time eating at Blacklock the past weekend. Staff was friendly, and the food and ambiance were great. I had the lamb leg Sunday roast and really enjoyed it

Great food and drinks. Superb staff. Love that you can have a carafe of wine. Our steak was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Iconic pub-style restaurant - top beer and steaks

Amazing food and super friendly service for lunch. Will 100% be back.

Fantastic food. Great for steak lovers. My girlfriend is vegetarian but she ordered a few of the sides and was in heaven, particularly with the brocoli and walnut salad. We asked for what was in it to try to cook it ourselves. Staff were all very friendly, and cleared the table as we ate/refilling the table water. To top it off, they play 80s music on repeat! Vegetarian options: Broccoli and walnut salad Tomotoes Roasted couliflower

Juicy, delicious steak. We struggled to get a table for two people without a reservation, so it is definitely worth booking in advance.

A hidden gem! Food was delicious and the staff were wonderful - even got a free shot after our meal as I mentioned it was my wifes birthday. All for a very reasonable price too compared to everywhere else locally.

Wow, you guys know I dont give a lot of full stars but this Steak house hits all the marks. I would suggest making a reservation as they get busy especially if you looking to go Sunday for the most amazing Roast Lunch. We got lucky and got given a table by the Maitred who was very friendly, saying it could take an hour but got a table before our drinks were even poured. The Waite staff are extraordinary, almost like a group of brothers working together that have known each other for years, there was one Lady waitress / Server / Host that was so interactive, she gave us a dance at our table because we mentioned she didnt dance near us, was cute and funny of her, adding that extra interaction. 3 people and we spent £100 with food to take home. There Beef dripping sauce for the fries could be poured in a glass and drank as a cocktail, trust me I asked for more and did just that. The Ultimate Chop sharing plate is amazing, dont ask the temp as it comes pink and the way its supposed to be cooked... it come piled on bread, do not do the mistake of leaving the bread no matter how fill you are, save some gravy and dunk dunk dunk... I do not eat vegetables but for the first time their little starters I demolished... Anchovies and Egg on a cracker OMG yes... Im going to stop their as you should go experience it yourself... no wonder they are now opening their first Branch outside London Zone... Great job to everyone

Really great food and the resturant has a really nice atmosphere. Staff were really friendly and welcoming to start with. But felt rush at the end, barely been 45 mins and they were taking the plates away as we were taking our last mouth full and rushed us to pay the bill. Just didnt give us chance to enjoy it felt like we had over stayed our welcome. Just a little bit of patience would of patience to give the best experiance!

Delicious chops. Highly recommend the lamb chops and tomato salad. Underground restaurant and great cocktails.

Had Sunday roast. Very tasty steak. The roast veg was overcooked and the cheese cake was a bit too heavy to my taste. But would return for more steak!

My burger had hair in it, they replaced it with a new one, but the bun seems to be the same. The service is not very friendly. The beer is delicious, the sweet potato is also delicious

Sunday roast recommended. Very good, nice waitress. Reservation required.

I had a lovely birthday dinner with my family at Blacklock City today and I couldn t recommend the food and service enough! We had a lovely and attentive server called Dermot - he was so efficient and consistent during our meal, checking in on us regularly and ensuring we had water topped up and free flowing gravy! The roast dinners were amazing - loads of veg, crispy potatoes and lean meat. The Cocktails and cheesecake were also fab too. Really pleased I chose Blacklock to have my birthday meal this year. Especially grateful to Dermot and the other fantastic waiting staff for making it that little bit more special.

Came here on Sep 15 for a roast, and my friends were late but they didnt rush us and were super accommodating. We all had beef roasts, and amazing bloody marys with beef jus in them, which isnt something ive ever had anywhere else. Dermot was our server and honestly probably one of the best servers weve had in the UK. Im moving abroad soon but already booked another roast there before then

It was a nice evening around the Sky Garden. Both the steak and burger salad were good.

Excellent setting, the absolute best staff, and food was about as good as you are going to get. Rammed on a Tuesday, says it all. Well done!

Fantastic food and a very cosy place for a quiet social dinner.

Food was awesome, service even better

Amazing atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food was out of this world!

elite munch

Steak was fantastic, service was phenomenal

My partner and I came here for the second time celebrating a special anniversary. Jim and the team were so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We felt so welcome and not to mention how incredible all the food, and wine was, as usual! Id recommend Blacklock for any occasion. Id especially recommend the cull ewe crumpet with lashings of Blacklock gravy. Always 10/10

Great Place for meat and drinks - awesome in the basement and the staff was really friendly and helpful

Another amazing Sunday Roast at Blacklock City. Food is SO good and the staff are lovely. Big shoutout to Emma to fitting us in and finding us a great table.

Couldnt have had better food and service from this team last night. Ordered a 1kg porterhouse which was cooked perfectly, with sides and wine which complimented the whole experience. Cant wait to come back. Thank you to all the team!!

Words can not stress how unbelievable this place is. Don t miss out

The only word that can I say is: WOW (I m Italian) See you tomorrow

very good very cool place great food very good, very cool place, great food

Lovely environment, very interactive service. Good quality of food, but very low quantity, on the photo appears a lot.. but is literally the Yorkshire pudding.. to compensate they gave us more Cheese Cake.. Food

This is an extremely popular steak restaurant in the City. A lot of tourists come here to try the all consuming large steaks in the capital. We ordered three large Porterhouse steaks each over 800g. We were told possibly two would be enough for six but we ended up having three Porterhouse & an order of lamb chops as well. Whilst we felt guilty being greedy, it had to be said that quality of the steaks were good. So was service. We were being well looked after by all the friendly & smily waiters. Also like the quirky notice boards when they chalked up all the available meats of the night up there.

Everything is amazing!!!

Nice meal!!! Everything amazing

Got a perfect porterhouse. One of the best steakhouses in London.

Ive been in London 2 weeks and weve already ate here 3 times lol. They have a great selection of meat cuts, the sides are tasty and in the rare event something goes wrong the staff will make it right. My recommendations so far: Porterhouse steak Ribeye steak Sweet potatos Broccoli and walnut salad White chocolate cheesecake Garlic bone marrow Beef dripping tips Blacklock gravy I cant lie Ill probably go one more time before I leave. The quality, portions and price are you good to pass up. Especially Butcher Mondays where the cuts are butcher price.

Wonderful restaurant in the city! We had the pleasure of meeting Max who gave us the best experience possible:) would definitely recommend.

Excellent lamb rump steak, medium rare with great crust. Price is fair for the quality you get. Attentive service as well.

If your thing is meat then this is the place to come.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, the waiter explained the menu and types of meat to us. The meat was wonderful, just as we ordered. The best restaurant we visited in London!

Absolute find ! This place is great food, wine and service are all great from the moment you arrive

I had a fabulous dinner at Blacklock City, the atmosphere is top notch and the food is excellent, with generous portions at an honest price point. The standout, however, was the service: the waitress Andreea is absolutely superb at her job, as well as being a lovely lady, and went above and beyond to make my evening special even if I was dining solo. The rest of the staff were also really friendly and fun, and made me feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend, especially for a dinner with friends or work colleagues. Would 100% love to return!

Stunning! Second time going, this time I was nice and took my partner too multi sharer .... Was so good. Drinks a little slow due to a new bartender - but they were all over this. They kept us up to date, gave us a lil dessert to appreciate. Absolute one of my faves in London. Try unusual suspects cocktail - stunning

Best steak, best atmosphere and best waiting staff in London! Highly recommend!

Really excellent meal last night - the fillet steak was the best I have enjoyed in a long while, and all the sides and extras were top quality too and inventive eg gem lettuce in anchovy dripping. a fine glass of port with which to finish the evening. Service was attentive, friendly and discreet and the ambience is welcoming, genial and appealing. A top recommendation in this area.

Mostly fat and bones on the All In. Which is a shame. Very underwhelming. Ive been once before and that was for the lunchtime steak sandeich. That was good. But this time I went for the All In and its safe to say I would not get it again. It looks bad on the plate. Pale mound of meat. No effort in presentation. I would still come here again, but Id order a regular main. I dont want to be chewing on fat and poking bone around on the plate half the time. The cocktails were amazing. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The bites which came as part of all in were good but the sardine one looked and smelt of cat food. Hoping to come back and have a better experience soon.

The steak was outstanding! The cheesecake is also a must! If there are more than two people dining, it is recommended to choose porterhouse steak. There will be different weights to choose from every day, ranging from about 700-900g, 100g/10 pounds. If you are dining alone, you can also choose from different types of steaks on the steak menu. In terms of sauce, I really like garlic bone marrow! It goes very well with steak! Those who don t eat beef can also enjoy its lamb chops. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!

Just incredible, make sure you get the chop sauce it s one of the best things I ve ever eaten.

Really great Sunday roast. The place was quite noisy.

Absolutely fabulous! Great team Super tasty food Fantastic atmosphere Food : 5/5 |

Food was excellent and staff especially Yarik sorry for spelling were so friendly Great atmosphere Definitely go back Beef dripping chips amazing Food

We had the All In and it was beautiful. Kind staff. Raspberry cocktail was lovely

Wonderful experience for my first trip to London. Stopped in for lunch. The steak was wonderful. The house lager was crisp and refreshing. Our server James was great to talk to and very funny. Recommended 100%. Kid-friendliness: James was so great and welcoming.

My family and I had Sunday roast here during our stay in London, and we were very impressed with the food, service, and ambience of the restaurant. All were outstanding, especially the gravy, which was insanely delicious, and our server was very prompt with keeping us well-supplied with it. There are many options for Sunday roast, but we would most definitely recommend the one at Blacklock City.

Everything was just excellent

It was the best meal we had in London, truly suggest a visit and order the Sunday roast on Sunday!

Great food, amazing service! All in all lovely experience.

Everything was perfect. The service was wonderful. As always, Blacklock did NOT disappoint. The chef even went above and beyond to get me some chop sauce with my roast (I m obsessed with the chop cause and didn t realise it wasn t on the menu on Sundays). Also, the aircon was wonderful.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast!! Best roast Ive ever had, not a single thing could be improved. Amazing staff & service, couldnt compliment them enough, an incredible way to end our trip to London.

One of the best steaks weve ever had. Very friendly staff

Great Rib eye for a great price..... Cheese cake was also fabulous......

The service by Julia and mieka was incredible And the food was amazing too Definitely I ll come back soon Food : 5/5

The staff here are amazing especially Julia and Mieka who were so nice and made our anniversary super special, the food was amazing as always- compliments to the chef. Thank you!!

In the heart of the city, a safe haven to enjoy meat and breathe in the English atmosphere. Definitely worth trying

After previously going to Blacklock Soho and having an amazing night, we were very excited to try their City restaurant. However, it was a completely different experience. Whilst the steak was beautiful (although chips were better in Soho in our opinion), the service felt rushed. When we went to Soho, the waitress took time to talk to us and recommended what to get but this time it was very scripted and at times felt pushy to buy another drink. At the end of the main meal, a male member of staff asked our waitress are they having dessert? and quickly handed us a menu. When we didn t want dessert , we were given the bill and a card reader was quickly brought over. Straight after paying, water for the table was taken away and table was cleared - no time given to digest your food. Whilst I understand it was a Saturday night and it was getting busy, we were only there for an hour and as someone who previously worked in a restaurant, you would allocate a table for at least an hour and a half so did they really need to rush us? Next time we will be going back to Soho as we did leave City feeling a little disappointed.

Delicious place to go for a late lunch. Lots of atmosphere, which obviously comes with noise. Would recommend the chop platter - more meat than you can eat. Delicious! Food

Food was amazing and Dermot was so attentive and lovely!

We were knackered after hours of sightseeing and really fancied a roast, spotted this place as we wandered past so decided to give it a try. It was full but the staff were very welcoming and soon accommodated us. The food was hearty and very nicely cooked, the wine, beers and mocktails for the kids had a good selection and the service was fast and friendly. All-in-all it was perfect for what we wanted and the staff were really friendly. I d use it again in the future when in town for sure. Kid-friendliness: Nothing special as such but friendly and very easy going on sharing your own dish with the kids, as the portions are big.

steak just melts in your mouth an amazing selection of sides and sauces too! service was very very slow however due to there always being such a full house Food

Absolutely fabulous... Came here for a birthday tonight and the staff/food were 10/10. I could not thank Jim and Dermot enough, for their hospitality, the best attentiveness weve experienced in London, the special requests for the birthday of my aunt (60 today!) and the balloons. So so thoughtful. We will definitely be back and hope that Jim and Dermot will be there to serve us. Thanks so much guys!

Excellent food and outstanding service, this review is for George in particular who is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I will be returning to Blacklock city over other locations because of him.

Amazing visit to Blacklock city. We had their special roast - red Devon sirloin - which was absolutely out of this world. Every dish was phenomenal. The service was fabulous and without a doubt the best weve had in London. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian roast with veggie gravy. Also a vegetarian starter and sides.

We were looking for an address when we went in to ask, they helped us search, at that moment we saw the dishes and it caught our attention, we went to the place we were looking for, we didnt like it and we returned. The food was delicious and, when we didnt expect it, they treated us to a mezcal and a delicious dessert. I highly recommend it.

Edit: Originally 5 star now a 3. (Original review further down) Unfortunately for me the standards have dropped here. The steak we ordered as a group was tough - I dont think an issue with the meat or cooking but I think it was cut before resting for long enough (have made this mistake at home). The service was decent but was given a wine that definitely wasnt what was described to us. The sides were OK. Its a real shame, this place used to be incredible especially ptq rario. Maybe we caught them on an off night. Original review: Its the Hawksmoor of the chops world for me. Solid, good flavours well put together with great service.

Came for dinner last night with my sister for her birthday. The staff were amazing and made a big deal for her which she loved. Food was great! Would definitely recommend!

We opted for the all in menu for two. I have to say the starter bites were absolutely not to my taste. The beef main was delicious, so if I was to return I would opt for a steak option only - lamb and pork was just ok; sides & sauces were yummy. There seemed to be more staff than customers making service kind of full on and uncomfortable - we were early in the evening so maybe preparing for a busy night. Would recommend a visit.

Wonderful place serving wonderful food. Staff are excellent and very attentive to your needs. Steak was fantastic, and my friend had the bacon chop, which looked stunningly good. The prices were also very competitive and we will be back. Dietary restrictions: They were perfectly able to accommodate my friend who has a dairy intolerance.

Big recommendation! The food is delicious and not expensive, and the waiters are also great. They clear away the empty plates quickly and always help pour water! I recommend everyone to come!

If I could give them a 0 on service and atmosphere I would they are rude unwelcoming and quite frankly I get a racist vibe from them I ve been here 7 times and it s horrible as Ive just left the one in Canary Wharf where I have been twice I can firmly say I will never return to this black lock again and will be going to Canary wharf not only where they only test white peoples with respect and manners also a smile but the portioning on the cheese cake to white people is significantly larger then us of Asian or black decent which is wild and when complained no sorry just a very rude waiter who told me I can leave it or take it and when I said I d leave it he proceeded to go to another till and speak about me with a colleague can t remember his name but he s balding on the top of that helps he needs sacking was definitely getting a racist vibe from him especially. The atmosphere is dead there too doesn t give what the Canary Wharf one does at all I love the team at Canary Wharf there so inviting, warm and welcoming nothing is to much and they always go the extra mile for EVERYONE the colour of your skin is not an issue for Canary Wharf but here they only want white only they should have this up at the door

Amazing restaurant, just been for the Sunday roast. Fantastic food. Will definitely be back.
