20 year old family run establishment modelled on a 2 floor American style diner near Surgeons Hall.

5/ 5

20 year old family run establishment modelled on a 2 floor American style diner near Surgeons Hall. Clean, fast service and very friendly. Eat here regularly every year during the Fringe. Focus is burgers, milkshakes, fish and chips but a good line in pizzas, pasta and pub favourites. All spotlessly clean and non greasy. Recommended.

Had a great experience!!! I had the veggie breakfast but it could have been better. The mushrooms were a bit soggy and chewy. Gaby was super nice, she made me a fab hot chocolate!

5/ 5

Fabulous fish and chips that I would recommend to anyone. Even for vegetarians, they have some good options like the veggie burger or pizza vegetariana, full of fresh and delicious veggies! Service is really friendly and they are quick and courteous. The kitchen is open which I love as you can see that everything is clean. Also, amazing brown sauce!

1/ 5

I usually like to order takeout, and they rarely answer their phone listen on the website. Only today I've tried calling 5 times between 5 and 6 PM, and there was no answer. So I have to go to the restaurant and wait there for 15 mins for them to prepare my food. Such a waste of time. And this has been happening for really long, it's like they don't value the customers that like to order their food via phone, hence the low rating.

5/ 5

Thank you Kerrie and Margarita! We visited this restaurant, and were made very welcome, and the staff were extremely helpful. My husband is Gluten Free, and he said it was the best fish and chips he had eaten! It was so good to have knowledgeable staff who understood Gluten Free, and I chose from the non- Gluten Free menu and it was so delicious, all freshly cooked, home made and hot. We had such a lovely meal we visited the restaurant every day, choosing from a wide variety of food. The atmosphere is friendly, spotlessly clean, and the staff go out of their way to adapt and accommodate the menu. We would recommend this restaurant, we feel very lucky to have found it on the first day of our holiday, we were made to feel very special - excellent customer service. Thank you! Jenny and Bob Hodgkinson, October 2021.
