Arrived with a party of three to be told there were no seats available as there was "a family waiting". This while the restaurant was half empty. We were fine with a wait by the bar but before ordering were barked at incomprehensibly by the maitre d. Something along the lines of you can now be seated. Five minutes of loitering awkwardly near the front desk later I asked her what was happening only to be bizarrely shouted at again - essentially that I had only been waiting a short time so should pipe down. To this I said we'll be leaving now, you've lost our business. But not before I explained what had happened to the disinterested manageress.

Shockingly rude.

I cannot comment on the food because we did not stick around to be gastronomically as well as verbally abused. We went elsewhere and racked up a large drinks and food tab that Texas Embassy lost out on.

I visitied the Texas Embassy for a friend's birthday. The food was just awful. I ordered a combination of three types of enchilada (beef, chicken and cheese). The cheese looked real on top but underneath was that fake cheese sauce. Normally I like fake cheese sauce, but this wasn't good! The wraps were soggy and it came with awful refried beans. The portions weren't very big either (but this was good considering the standard of food!)

Don't bother going to this restaurant. Service was fine, no atmosphere and the food is overpriced.

The Texas Embassy, is a great American temed restaurant in central London. It has great steaks and beer and the service is always attentive but not pushy.

I really enjoy the Texas Embassy, the busy hustle of the restaurant and loud country crooning always makes the place a great night. I admit that I always eat the same thing, not for lack of choice but because it's just too darn good and I have NEVER seen it on a menu somewhere else! It's the Sourthern Fried Steak with the best mash potatos and a margarita. My husband has had the steaks and ribs on different occasions and has always cleared his plate (even before I can steal a bite.) We always do a round of margaritas, peach and fozen for me, on the rocks for him and beer, LONE STAR. I can never say no to a piece of pecan pie and I have to say it's even harder here. The service is always great and our regular servers always stop by to say hi and to make sure our meal is up to scratch - which is always is - I can say it is always a great night out!

I went to the Texas Embassy yesterday and was pleasently suprised. I thought it would be a tourist trap for Americans in the West End, but instead I found a great central London restaurant with large steaks and beer at a resonable price. What a great find.

The Texas Embassy is what it says on the can...a loud brash American Joint with great Tex-Mex food, margaritas and the game on at the bar. I LOVE it.

This is my boyfriend's favourite place in London. As an American southerner he craves fajitas and gucamole all the time. We come in every couple of weeks and love it. The service is always American standard and the food is great not to mention the frozen strawberry margaritas (for me not him!). Always a great night!
