  “Stopped in at the recommendation of the hotel staff at check in, the food was very good and inexpensive. The place was very busy and it appeared they only had two wait staff, the reason for the 4 rating, as our server would be too busy to stop by regularly. Regardless, the staff were friendly and live music made for a pleasant atmosphere. We got the spicy scouse, Ma's scouse, the tomato soup, and closed it out with the apple pie with ice cream. I would eat here again and bring my friends and family....you should too 😊”

  “This is a good place to eat and have a good beer. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. It is interesting because if you walk by at night, you probably wouldn't pay attention to it: a small street, not much light. The food is local and good: fish and chips with a good batter, good burgers. It is a pity that some details prevent the food from being excellent, like onion rings not crispy and tasty. Service was correct and very kind, struggling to attend all the customers. A place to go.”

  “Came for the classic and I wasn’t disappointed - fresh and tender fish with home-made chips. Simple and satisfying! However, if you are planning to visit this place during weekend, better make a reservation as it can get pretty busy.”

  “We had the scouse. Which is like a beef stew. Comes with a lovely slice of toasted bread. Maybe could give a larger bowl though for more of a fill. As husband was still hungry after that. So larger portions would be better without the extra cost though of it. Some men need more food to get full”

  “I enjoyed the atmosphere, stepping out of the rain and into this comforting haven. Service is swift, but attentiveness and care differs greatly between the younger service staff. The Classic Scouse was decent in terms of the texture and tenderness of the beef, but it was lacking in overall depth and fragrance. The dominant flavour was salt; surprising for such a thick stew. Probably a neutral thickener like flour was used without much beefiness getting into the stew. I enjoyed the contrast with the shredded and pickled beetroot. That helped.”

  “Good traditional roast dinner I had the roast beef which was a slow cooked brisket. It just melted in my mouth was absolutely delicious and my son had the chicken very nice atmosphere. The staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and very very reasonably priced. Probably the cheapest roast dinner I’ve had up to now but still very delicious.”

  “🎶 Live Jazz at Ma’s 🎵 📍 Tower Gardens, Liverpool City Centre 🎹 Me and my Dad love live music, so when I was invited to the Latin Jazz Social Club at @maboyleseatery I knew we’d be in for a great night. Spoiler: it was boss!! 💃 Swipe to see some of the jazz I got on video. It was chocker in there, and there were even people up dancing, making the vibes even more fun. We danced at our table.. no one needed to see that!😆 To drink: 🍋‍🟩 Margarita 🍊 Aperol Spritz 🍸 French Martini 🥃 Old Fashioned All cocktails were fabulous. We tried a selection of their menu, they had quite a few others on offer too so I’ll get them next time I guess 💁‍♀️ To eat: 🧀 Nachos - perfect amount of melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. Very filling too. 🐟 Fish Goujons - crispy, flavoursome and the tartare sauce was delicious. 🍔 Vegan Burger - I got this with normal cheese, and it came with crispy chips, onion rings and it had guacamole and salsa on top. A really, really great veggie burger. 🥩 Sirloin Steak - served with crispy chunky chips, mushrooms, tomato and peppercorn sauce. Dad loved it. 🥂 We really enjoyed our evening at Ma Boyle’s. The staff were really friendly, the drinks were flowing and all other tables looked to be having a great time in there. The perfect place for a Friday night out.”

  “I had a really lovely experience at Ma Boyle’s Alehouse and Eatery. The place has a very warm and cozy atmosphere, especially with the fireplace and classic interior design. It feels authentic and welcoming, not like a typical modern chain restaurant. The food was excellent and well presented. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, exactly what you want when visiting a traditional British-style place. The service was also very good — friendly, attentive and relaxed at the same time. I travel quite a lot and I enjoy discovering local places in different cities. Liverpool has many beautiful spots, and this restaurant is definitely one of the charming places worth visiting. Overall: great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely come back again. — Dildora Ziyabaeva ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “Me abd my wife stayed at the travel lodge liverpool exchange. When we arrived i looked on places close by and noticed Ma Boyles. So looking at the reviews which are very good,we decided to eat there. We were welcomed by a very nice young lady (jessica) who was very polite and pleasant. Our meals were absolutely amazing with me having scouse pie and my wife having shepherd's pie. As we were very happy with food and service we returned for breakfast the next morning. Again we were nicely greeted and looked after again by...yes Jessica. I would definitely recommend a visit here for anyone planning a visit to Liverpool city centre. We will go back again in the future.”
