If you walk the couple of hundred yards up to the river (by Hungerford Bridge) there's plenty of chain options - Ping Pong, Wagamama, Giraffe (one for the kids!).

I quite like Tas which is in The Cut about 400m from the station - interesting Turkish food, slightly different from the norm. Otherwise as above - there's plenty of more conventional places by the river or around the Vic(s).
+ 1 for walking round the corner into The Cut. The Baltic is good too.
opposite the fire station is bangalore express... very nice modern (in a good way) indian food.

The Firehouse? Are you kidding?!
The Cut is the place to be:
Hope and Anchor. May have to wait for a table and it's not cheap, but the food is great.
Livebait for fish.
The Young Vic is good as well.
And if you walk the 5 minutes to the river, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
I've eaten in the[url= http://www.tasrestaurant.com/ev_restaurant/directions.htm ] Tas Ev restaurant[/url] a few times, and found it to be very nice. They also have a smaller place on The Cut. The Ev one has a bar as well.
You've got the suggestions I'd have made -
Hope & Anchor - excellent Gastropub, loud, busy, good quality. Not cheap (but pub prices for beer and wine which helps). Get there by 7ish or you'll wait until after 9 to get a table (and they don't take bookings). If you can get a few people together to order a leg of lamb or big joint of beef it's great.
TAS is good but watch the menus they hand you - I seem to remember they often try to steer you towards the set menu. Make sure you at least look at the full selection.
Livebait comes recommended but haven't been. There's a pretty good Tapas place somewhere close to Livebait (on the south side of the road) that's pretty good.
Bangalore Express surprisingly good and cheap.
Mcdonalds? Burger King? KFC?
+1 for Burger King
Tas = Average
Firehouse = Shite
Bangalore Express = Not too shabby, actually.
The big TAS EV next to Jacks bar in Isabella street is OK for a munch and a few beers, Cubana is interesting food wise and does seriously good Mohitos, The Anchor and Hope is a long wait but great food if a bit too dear for what it is. My favorite place round there is Culture Grub, cheap chinese noodle bar, not s****y but very nice indeed, more lunch than dinner though.
baltic/firestatation/hope and anchor.
all good. as is livebait (for a chain restaurant).
good cocktails at baltic.
Upper Crust, then on to Krispy Kreme for dessert.
