Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the owners, who greet diners, talk through the menu, and make people feel welcome, with several noting they were on site every visit. Food comes next. Diners name the Full English Breakfast, the Corndog and Chips, an omelet with a quarter waffle, and juicy American style burgers. One reviewer loves the gluten free fluffy waffles topped with mushrooms and maple syrup, and another mentions tasty milkshakes and massive portions. Families with young children call it a brilliant local option, and one cites a same day birthday booking. The atmosphere is described as fun and vibrant, with digital gaming tables noted. The recurring trade-off is size: the restaurant is very small, though one visitor says it makes extraordinary use of the space, and the same visitor notes there is no drip coffee. One reviewer who sat outside with a baby says the owner came back out later to check they were warm enough as the clouds rolled in.
