Food was very underwhelming. English muffin was almost too hard to be edible. Poached eggs were cooked well but the entire dish was something I feel I could have put together on my own in ten minutes - nothing to elevate the dish beyond what you might make in your own kitchen. Service was rude and impatient, with the waiter barely taking the time to listen to our order (we had to call him back a few times just to get cream for our tea). Expensive, bland, terrible service - will not be returning.
Editing to say both my friend and I had terrible stomach aches after eating here (and this was the only thing we had eaten that day, so the food here was definitely to blame…)

In the 80s I ate here all the time and just adored the curried sour cream burger. It’s 45 years later and I am still making that curry sour cream burger from my house in the middle of the woods and bum fudge nowhere North Carolina re-creating absolute bliss thank you so much

Iit's been part of my New York identity for over 40 years. While the prices are a bit steep, the food is always good, the service pleasant and professional, and the atmosphere casual and blissfully unchanging, and what's more, unique.

I love this place so much. Food is really wonderful and I love that they have "club soda with bitters" and "white wine spritzer" on the menu. I think they have the best chicken cesar salad!!

100 start out of five ??????Our families been coming to Elephant And Castle for more than 25 years now! There is not enough good words to say how much we love this place! Of course by now we know the staff and the food is always delicious and very consistent! ?The service is always excellent, To tell you honestly, it’s hard for us to go to any other place to eat because at this point we have such high standards, They don’t have mind blowing decor, but the food and the warmth of their staff makes up for that ??? which we hope they stick around forever never so we can enjoy their wonderful food, warm atmosphere and the connections with me over the years thanks everybody. Love you.❤️?❤️???

Love this old fashioned restaurant and the service should get 20 stars!! If you’re looking for some good American food in the area this is definitely the spot!
Super overpriced! And not very good. Literally charged $17 for a sandwich on white toast with unseasoned, boiled chicken. I wish I could’ve asked for my money back, it was not worth it at all.
The limeade also was overpriced and had zero flavor.
The server was lovely though! It wasn’t her fault.
Disappointing all around.

Fantastic food and service. The burgers are really good and the fries are a large portion you can share between two people. The home made Ginger ale is super light and refreshing and the whole vibe of the place is so nice

Very solid place! The vibes were great and I thought the food was pretty good as well.My favorite dishes were the pizza and salads. However, what was more memorable was the views and the vibes of the restaurant. Definitely worth checking out!

This place is small and cozy, get there early for breakfast because it gets full fast.. First time here.The food was delicious ? and the coffee ☕ strong the way I like it. Staff super friendly and helpful.
Parking: Its street parking but if you drive around you can find a parking garage.
