About Tasty Bite
Tasty Bite is a cafe at 5 Effingham Square in Rotherham, run as an old-school, no-frills greasy spoon. Breakfasts form the core of what the kitchen serves, and a bacon and tomato sandwich sits alongside them on the menu. Payment is cash only, and card payments are not accepted, so customers need to bring cash with them rather than a card. The toilet is upstairs, a detail worth knowing before sitting down.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, with most criticism landing on the cooked food. Diners describe a bacon and tomato sandwich with burnt bacon and sweet tomatoes, a chicken kebab with overcooked rice and bland chicken, cold fries, and canned beans that did not taste good. One reviewer calls the coffee not good, and several describe the service as bad or rude. On the positive side, one returning breakfast customer calls it a proper old-school greasy spoon, good value, where diners leave with a full belly. Another finds it no frills, reasonably priced and with good service, and one praises lovely food and polite staff. The salad served with the kebab was the one part singled out as tasty. One lunch group received a prawn salad sandwich without any salad and were missing their drinks.

“Old school cafe. Not been in a year or so and only ever had the breakfasts but it's a dying breed of proper greasy spoon (not an insult, we need more places like this) good value for what you get and you leave with a full belly. All too often these days you feel ripped off, not in places like this.”
