About Wild West Diner
On The Sands in Blackpool, Wild West Diner is an American restaurant with a Western saloon theme carried through in its decor and background music. Food arrives on baking trays, chips come in a frying basket, and condiments sit on the table in sachets or a sauce tub. The menu runs to cheeseburgers, a mac and cheese burger, and steak. Orders are handled at the bar, with payment taken at the time of ordering and drinks and food brought over to the table afterward. The diner takes walk-ins, and tables, including booths, can also be booked in advance. It opens daily, keeping the format consistent throughout the week.

Customer Review Summary
Steaks and burgers draw most of the praise, with one diner calling the steak exceptional and another singling out the mac and cheese burger, alongside generally big portions and quick food. Servers are repeatedly called out as friendly and accommodating, with several reviewers noting staff going out of their way, including one who received free doughnuts with chocolate sauce on a birthday. The western theme and atmosphere also get consistent mentions as fitting the experience well. Against this, a recurring complaint centers on inconsistent kitchen execution: one reviewer described a cheeseburger as burnt black and inedible with stale buns, while another reported a long wait followed by microwaved, unseasoned food. A couple of diners also flagged the presentation, noting food served on baking trays and cheap sachet condiments rather than proper sauce. Payment is generally taken at ordering, which one reviewer found took a little from the experience.

“Really good food and the lady serving us was brilliant. Would highly recommend for families. You need to pay when ordering. Dont know if they have had issues with dining and dashing but we were happy to pay.”

“We came as a family of 8 (mixed ages from grandparents down to 3yr old grandson). I decided to leave this review purely because of our server "Annie". She was everything you could wish for. Hugely welcoming, accommodating (menu adjustments mainly), kind and efficient. We're normally a very socially aware and well behaved guests as a family, but yesterday we had a combination of a few things that seemed to culminate during our first visit to Wild West. Our 2 small grandchildren were not the perfect darlings they normally are due to the length and heat of the day so they were restless and later on the disabled alarm cord in the toilets was inadvertently pulled 🫣 Also, one of our adult sons was attempting to make a bit more space at his end of the table when he knocked off a full glass of Fanta all over the table and floor! He was mortified! Needless to say, despite our best efforts I would describe us as a challenge - polite and friendly, but yes, a challenge. Through out it all, Annie was... outstanding! I have never ever left a review because an individual staff member warranted it - but this is my happy exception. She was even gracious enough to check on us as she was leaving at the end of her shift. From all of us Annie, thank you. ❤️”

“First time going here for my birthday and will definitely be back. Steak was exceptional and my daughter loved the mac and cheese burger. Staff were super friendly and food came quickly. They even gave me free doughnuts with chocolate sauce as a treat for my birthday which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. It was also great that when you book your table you can chose to book a booth. Lovely sitting in the window watching the world go past.”

“We got into Blackpool late today and needed something to eat. We had seen the Wild West previously but never been in but I must say we were very impressed. They were still taking orders after 21.30 which was great for us, we were served by Jordan and Joanna both were very pleasant and helpful whilst taking our order and serving etc. The food was excellent, we had to wait 30 mins for our food but it was worth it and to be fair they were really busy. Has the name suggests the place is Wild West themed and you could imagine being in the USA whilst eating. We will definitely use this place again. Thankyou”
