Boneyard is an American-themed restaurant that opened a few months ago on Shoreditch High Street, transforming the disused petrol station and empty lot. Other street vendors set up shop there as well at about the same time as I stopped frequenting Shoreditch as often, so I have not had the chance to try any. However, I was in the area recently and needed a lunch stop, so I decided to pop in.
The cafe itself is on the edge where the station used to be, and it advertises its chicken and burgers. The building also appears to have been picked up from the USA and transplanted in Shoreditch. It has the bar-restaurant style, but it's actually more of a restaurant than a bar. In fact, alcohol cannot be consumed inside the building due to regulations, but there's an area right outside to drink.
Inside, the bar-restaurant theme continues with the industrial style and lighting. The tables were high ones with stools and could accommodate a lot of people.
The restaurant serves deep-fried food, such as chicken with buttermilk, pork ribs, bone marrow burger, slaw, tater tots, crinkle chips, onion fries, chicken burgers, and a vegetarian option. Milkshakes are also on offer.
I opted for the chicken burger and the crinkle chips. The chips and burger were delicious and had a good flavour. The chicken burger was also moist and not dry, so I found it very tasty.
I would return to Boneyard to try their buttermilk chicken and some of their other sides. Have you been, and which dishes do you recommend?
