Cozy spot. Great food. Highly recommend. 

We didn't have a reservation. However, they were able to squeeze just two of us in despite being busy. We ordered the special for the evening, Wagu, but they ran out as it was popular. The staff was accommodating and offered replacements which were just as delicious. 

Favorite side dishes include: roasted aubergine, tomato and cheese bake, as well as the truffle Mac and cheese. But let's be honest. All of the sides were incredibly tasty. You can't mess up ordering any. 

And can we talk about the popcorn and ice cream?!?! All guests are welcomed with the complimentary popcorn. Then as you exit, you're given a token for a soft serve ice cream. Just loved it.

If you are interested in tasty yet affordable steak, then Flat Iron is the place for you! For only £14, you can get a very solid quality steak. I opted for the slightly more expensive £22 wagyu flat iron steak, which was indeed a bit more tender than the cheaper one but both were cooked perfectly and a decent portion size. These are just about as good as the normal expensive ones you'd get at other steakhouses.

The sides are also great and affordable too! 

The truffled mac and cheese (£5.50) was cooked just the right amount, with a good amount of cheese, and some nice breadcrumbs on top.

The crispy bone marrow garlic mash (£4) exceeded my expectations as the mashed potatoes were creamy, flavorful, and moist. 

The creamed spinach (£3.50) was also decent.

Before you even get your food, they start off with free popcorn and then after your meal on your way out, there is free vanilla soft serve ice cream! Talk about good value!

The restaurant itself has a good amount of seating, although it can get quite busy (we waited for about 20 min for a late Saturday dinner). There is a lively environment with upbeat music and dimmed lighting.

Our waiter was super friendly and the staff are attentive. The service speed is also pretty quick.

Overall, with tasty affordable steaks, great sides, and free ice cream, Flat Iron is really a clear 5 star place and a must visit for all steak lovers!

OMGOSH!!

100% the best steak I've had in a VERY long time! The flavor was exceptional, meat tender and cooked to perfection!

The sides delish! 

Our server Camelia was helpful with suggestions which we totally took her up on!

We shared the T-bone as Dana likes sirloin and I prefer filet. The garlic mash was cooked perfectly with crispy pork belly on top. 

The play list was off the charts (pun intended) as well. It's cozy, cute with shared tables so you can chat with others. 

Highly recommend this place if you are in Shoreditch!

Flatiron is such a good value. Walked in around 9 on a Friday evening and managed to get a table. It was still quite crowded, and we quickly saw why. First, they bring out the free popcorn. No, I wasn't looking for popcorn, but I was thrilled to have it offered. The drinks were great, and the steak... Prepared and presented excellently, and it was a very reasonable price. Happily getting ready to leave, they hand us each a small, half-inch cleaver. It's for our free ice cream. Absolutely perfect.

I absolutely adore Flat Iron! They have great service and incredible food! Their classic flat iron steak, beef dripping chips, and truffled Mac and cheese (I mean LOOK AT THAT CHEESE PULL) are genuinely some of the best food l've ever had. I love the complimentary popcorn you get to start and the soft serve you get on your way out (it's to die for). They give you the cutest little tokens for the soft serve too! Flat iron will definitely be one of the restaurants I miss most when I go back home, it's worth it to come to London for Flat Iron alone.

Was going to give this place 3 stars as my flat iron steak was actually quite disappointing. I ordered it medium but it definitely came out medium rare. There was lots of stringy inedible gristle in the steak that I had to eat around too. I came in with high hopes and I was somewhat disappointed in my meal. The chips were very good, fresh and hot. The popcorn they give you as an appetizer is fine - different but not life changing. The price is good, at 14 pounds for a steak, but the steak tasted like a cheap steak. Also, maybe I should've ordered it with a sauce, I was hoping the steak wouldn't need sauce. Service was adequate, not super friendly but not unfriendly.

The thing that blew me away was the complimentary ice cream. I wish they didn't give this to you on your way out, as it would've been nice to sit down at my table and enjoy the ice cream, but this may have been the most delicious vanilla soft serve that I have ever had and the chocolate shavings sprinkled on top were nice too. They make this vanilla soft serve themselves and I could tell, the vanilla flavor was just so robust. I wish I could come back just to get the ice cream, since my meal was very subpar but wow I would come back just to get that alone.

Flat Iron had a delicious steak for £13. I added the béarnaise sauce for £1 extra and it was well worth it. The steak is a good size but it was best to add a side or two. I loved the truffle mac and cheese as a side; the side salad and the chips were also good options.

A lite bite of popcorn and a petite ice cream cone are complementary. Both were delicious. The service was ok... at times it was difficult to get an extra water or silverware if the table did not come with any. The restaurant was very busy and lively, so that could be the explanation.

Note: they include an additional fee for every steak purchased as a donation (I believe £0.10 or £1.00). The menu says if you are not interested in donating you have to specify prior to paying so that the charge can be removed.

£13 for a great steak in this economy? Sign me up. Loved the truffle mac & cheese, the creamed spinach, and the fries. Throw in a few beers and you're in for a great dinner.
The portion sizes are relatively small, but it definitely fills you up and the steak is cooked exactly to order. Recommend rare or medium rare to keep the tenderness in the steak unless you have dietary concerns.
Only disappointment was the cocktails, they are tiny and not worth the price. Free soft serve ice cream at the end was a nice bonus!

Walked in with my grandson and watched them seat everyone else except us. Told us it would be at least an hour. Then we asked if we could sit at the bar while we waited. The host never even looked up at us and just said "no".  Another couple walked in and just walked up to the bar and sat down.We waited outside and watched them seat every couple who walked in. FYI... my grandson was 22. Had never been treated so badly. We left.
