This popular mini chain offers wide range of light meals and snacks to eat in or take away. Most Tootsies restaurants open on to the street and are most popular in the summer. This branch provides seating on the terrace area, weather permitting.
Tootsies was buzzing on the Saturday afternoon we visited, and had a really lively, family-friendly ambience. It was a warm and welcoming respite from a cold grey day and although apparently a chain restaurant, it didn't really feel like one. We were welcomed by attentive staff and seated quickly. The menu is fairly diverse and will cater to most tastes. I'm American-born and although I don't eat burgers very often, I do have pretty high standards when it comes to the beef, the bun, and the sides on offer. I went for the classic burger, which came with bacon and Monterey Jack cheese (something you don't see often enough on British menus!), and my fellow diner went for the jalapeno burger, which was full to bursting with onions, sour cream, jalapenos and guacamole. Both were cooked to taste and juicy. They came with chunky, decent chips and condiments came without us having to ask.I can see why this place is popular with the W11 brunching crowd. It's an unpretentious hangout with a large variety of dishes and decent, welcoming service. I heard a few American accents there, which is proof of authenticity and high praise indeed for a burger restaurant in the middle of deepest US ex-pat London. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone either side of the pond!
