This is not gourmet food but it is excellent. The service and the staff are very good. The lunch time bottomless Prosecco is the best value lunch offer i have had n ages. Have not eaten off the al’ cart menu so can’t comment on that. Lovely clean place.

Just the best. Chicken wings in a very tasty barbecue sauce for starters and then a steak that melted in the mouth with an equally tasty butter and garlic sauce. Finished off with apple crumble and ice cream. Efficient and friendly staff made for a great meal experience (all accompanied with some serious classic rock music!). We'll be back for more!.

Wow wow wow wow wow THE CHICKEN WINGS!!! They were sooooo good. I had BBQ chicken wings and I asked for the hot sauce on the side because I wasn’t sure how hot it was but it was perfect! The wait for the food wasn’t long either.

It’s not often I find myself in Kensington, to be honest. Usually when I am there, it’s because I’m at the Olympia for work, but recently, Conor and I were in the area – and we were HUUUNGRY. A quick search on our phones, and we discovered Bill Wyman’s Sticky Fingers restaurant was nearby, and with the promise of burgers and beer ahead, we went to give it a try.

Service staff are very friendly. Good atmosphere, and the cafe has a warm setting with good music. A good place to chill for dinner or simply to chill with drinks.

We ordered the combo platter with chicken breast and BBQ ribs, Mac and cheese, BBQ wings. The BBQ sauce is really addictive, though the wings were cooked beyond my liking. Although I'm not a fan of breast meat as it tends to be quite dry and rough, they cooked it really tender and soft. Ribs are tender too.

Stumbled upon this place while walking "late-ish" at night. Not a bad place to grab something to eat. Good place but music could get a bit loud, so chatting could get a bit hard.

Into yummy fast food? Into burgers and wings. Sticky fingers is a nice place to stuff yourself with nice tastes. It has a nice variety. I tried delivery once, the food wasn't that good, I don't recall if it was with them directlybor a third party. So better eat there anyway.

Swank Factor: 3/5

Considering the location in Kensington I expected Sticky Fingers to be fairly posh and the name to be more tongue in cheek. However, walking up to the place I could tell right away it was a little more Hard Rock Cafe then I was expecting with guitar-shaped door handles and as it turns out the name is well deserved.

The decor in the restaurant was a good mix of British Classics mixed with American rock and the soundtrack fit this vibe well with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers alongside The Beatles.

There were however some cheesy parts and made you want to cringe like the leopard print accents on the blinds and the Harley Davidson motorcycle on display. But with walls that weren't anywhere near as cluttered as Hard Rock Cafe’s I’d say it was at least a step in the direction of its Kensington neighbours.

Once we were sat at the table I quickly realised that this was a place that served BBQ after my own heart. Not only did they have St. Louis Style Ribs, but the napkins were tea towels. You know a place is about to serve some seriously delicious food that you will dig into with your bare hands when they need tea towels for napkins. And if that wasn’t enough they brought out little packaged wet towels for nearly every course.

Would I Want Seconds?

We chose to go on a Monday at lunch knowing it wouldn’t be crowded but going for lunch meant we also did have a ton of room to really pig out like the menu choices are begging you to do. Nevertheless, we found a few dishes that we just had to try.

We started with the Home Fried Nachos (£9.95) which was served as a sharing plate and they sure weren’t stingy with the portions. I was hoping for a really good nacho cheese as the menu clearly stated cheese sauce as opposed to shredded cheese melted onto tortilla chips like everywhere else in London. I wasn’t completely disappointed with the cheese sauce - but it wasn’t quite what I keep hoping for either.

The taste was really good, it was mostly the texture of the cheese sauce that wasn’t quite right. It was a bit grittier and not quite smooth and creamy enough. However, everything else about the nachos was spot on and amazing.

The toppings were great with the onions and salsa and sour cream. Also, the chips were huge! Like half a taco shell size. 

The main reason we were headed to Sticky Fingers was to try the new Sticky’s Benedict Burger and their Play With Fire Bloody Mary. These would be the perfect combo for a hungover brunch if you ever find yourself wandering around High Street Kensington late in the morning after a long night.

I have to admit I am not a Bloody Mary fan. I did try it however and I imagine it would really bring you back to life if you were hungover. It was spicy and certainly helped clear my head (without having any alcohol before). 

As for Sticky’s Benedict Burger, I have to say I couldn't really imagine eggs benedict on a burger. It seemed like a pretty strange concept to me, but it worked surprisingly well. It is literally what it says on the tin - eggs benedict on top of a beef patty on a bun. No, your mouth will not fit around the burger, but I find the best burgers usually fall in that category.

Sticky Fingers happens to be another place that I’ve now discovered does catfish. I remember just after moving here doing a lot of googling and not finding many options. So I had pretty much given up hope of ever finding decent catfish on this side of the pond - but here I’ve found a second place just this year. Maybe I should continue my hunt!

I liked the Brooklyn Bowl catfish because it was different to any other catfish I had tried before. But the Sticky Fingers version of a Fried Catfish Fillet (£13.95) was an even more interesting take.

I have to give them credit that rather than try to fry it in a style they probably couldn’t execute well - they just took the best known way to fry fish in the UK and used a different fish.

This dish was the perfect combination of American and English cuisine. It was seaside fish and chips with a meaty, river fish inside and I am a big fan. It was flakey and the meat of the fish just melted in your mouth which is exactly what you want. The batter was delicious and just greasy enough that if it was served in a newspaper I’m sure it would be a familiar sight to many a Brit.

Finally, out of curiosity I ordered the Baked Mac’N’Cheese (£3.95). I have to admit I kind of wish I hadn’t. The cheese on top was hardened and just not that great. I had been hoping for a creamier sauce for the cheese and a stronger cheddar mix. I think this particular dish suffered from a red Leicester overdose. It might be the kind of Mac and Cheese some people would want but just wasn’t for me. It certainly didn’t take away from the rest of the dishes that we enjoyed immensely.

Could I Afford Seconds?

In terms of pricing, I think Sticky Fingers is fairly priced. The burgers average out at about £14 which isn’t too bad for a London restaurant especially considering the location.

The BBQ is a bit higher in price with ribs coming in at nearly £20. However, thid include two regular or one fancy sides and if all the sides are as generously portioned as the Mac and Cheese then you would be getting a ton of food for your money.

However, something amazing about this place is that they do deals. So they have a Madness Menu where many dishes are up to 50% off. This brings the classic burger down to £5.48 which is a pretty good deal and it includes a side!

They run the madness deals all day Monday and Tuesday-Friday from 12-4pm. Or if you’re more into an after work drink they have £4 cocktails during happy hour from 4:30-7:30pm. So although there are times the prices feel a bit steep, if you plan it right you can get some great food for a great deal!

Overall?

In general I was very pleased with the food at Sticky Fingers. The portions were huge, for the most part the tastes were spot on and I think it’s the type of place I could generally see my husband and I returning to if we found ourselves hungry and in the neighbourhood.

The best american restaurant/diner I've been to. I tried the chicken wings with buffalo sauce and the cheeseburger and they were absolutely perfect. The staff is really nice and the environment of the restaurant is appealing to a younger crowd. I recommend it. 5*

Great Party Atmosphere. I came here to celebrate a friends birthday at the weekend- What a night! The food was delicious. We mainly got Ribs - so big they were bigger than the plate! Really tasty and very sticky! When reserving we told them it was for a birthday so they had Balloons all around the table, sang happy birthday and put a candle in the dessert - really fun! This is also so perfect for rolling stones or rock n roll fans, lots of memorabilia and great vibe. Will definitely visit again!

Well I have been here twice and it's become one of my favourites! The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and helpful - not just one or two, but all of them! The portion sizes are just perfect. Even as I write this I'm wondering how I can fit in another visit. The food is amazing. Perfectly and deliciously cooked. I dont even know what else I can say. Toilets are downstairs so if you have problems with walking / back problems you need to be aware of this. The seating is a mixture of booths and normal tables. I'm not sure anyone could find anything to complain about this place. Have recommended and those people were really impressed and they recommended to people who were equally impressed. I think I need to contact them to start earning some kind of commission 😂

Fantastic staff and cozy atmosphere! Nice and juicy burger options. Outside tables for smokers is a must... Stones memorabilia all around helps compose a very Rock n Roll environment.

After a visit to The Design Museum, for my son's birthday, we went to Sticky Fingers - an old haunt of mine when I worked in Kensington any moons ago! On Mondays they have up to 50 % discount on mains and happy hour for cocktails, which makes it value for money. Food was nice (typical burger fare etc), we were served by a lovely waitress called Francesca, who was very friendly and helpful and what was so lovely, is that on arrival we mentioned it was my son's birthday and they delivered a complimentary dessert. So thanks for the very thoughtful customer service! My son was delighted!

What a fabulous place to eat and relax!! Everything you want when going out to eat!! The food was delish, we had a sharing board of fish sticks and 2 types of chicken wings with very tasty sauces!! U could have ribs, but we dont eat pork, so Terese H recommended we have another chicken with sauce we had halloumi slices and crispy fried shrimp, couldn't fault the food very tasty and filling, the whole place was very relaxing and not at all noisy even though busy, its children friendly as well, its Bill Wymanns restaurant it was full of The Rolling Stones paraphernalia, and not expensive!! It was my birthday so was given a bottle of Proccecco Dolci, we will definitely be going back and would recommend it to all!! Well worth a visit

Beautifully designed interior, with very kind personnel. The dishes were not so big as their price, but the taste was a good thing to experience as it had a lot of flavours to experiment. Variety on the menus, everything was clean. Satisfied as a first comer in London.

Fantastic atmosphere and delicious food. Quite expensive but it's in the middle of London so that's to be expected. A wonderful trip out, suitable for families too. I would recommend it to any music fan or anyone that likes places that are little bit quirky and fun.

Burger is good but £14 is a bit too much especially with compulsory service. Coleslaw is apple for some reason. Chips are ok. I asked for well done meat and it was well done. Best part is the patty. Bread is very nice & tasty. Place is OK, sofas for some reason were dirty and had holes 🤔

@busylittleus: The food was delicious and great for getting your hands sticky!! The staff were so accommodating to us and our toddler Rina. The food is super affordable and the restuarant has an all round rock vibe. The menu was full of American favourites! Romeo and I had: Sharing platter with fish goujons, ribs and spicy chicken wings (the ribs were our fav) Then I had the steak with fries, mushrooms and tomatoes. Romeo had the ribs and chicken combo with chips and coleslaw. We washed down are meal with some delicious sticky lemonades and a Oreo freakshake for two. Swipe to see delicious food!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stickyfingers #Kensington #london #invited

We love it here, we had our 1st date here 14 years ago and come back year after year. A more intimate hard rock cafe and it's kept as the hard rock used to be. Excellent food and personal service.
