"Sadly I dont know what went wrong today but our lunch order was a shambles! The coffees were in mugs not cups, once of the sandwiches was on the wrong bread, the wholemeal bread is covered in seeds, seeds dont agree with all people, and also was found to be very dry. Then the baked potato never appeared, when I asked, it eventually came and the others had finished their lunch and I ate alone. It was also not very hot and evident it had been forgotten. When we went to pay the manager said he would deal with the bill, and reduced it by about £12, we said how we felt and he still did not turn round and apologize,but as he put money in the till muttered that good customer service is important !! It certainly is, and if someone had come straight over and apologized and said they would reflect the errors in our bill we would all have felt a lot happier. Wee all felt saddened as the Quarry is a lovely setting and the shops and galleries well worth a visit. ,"

"A British friend of mine recommended this place to me so I thought I'd try it out. I had been living off of frozen pizza and cereal for a week, since London is so damn expensive, so I thought this would be a treat. THE EXPERIENCE: Walking in, the layout is a little confusing, at least to me as a foreigner. It looks like you order when you walk in and then take it to your table. Except when I went to order I was stopped short by a waiter/host who then took me to my table and gave me a menu. I sat down, figured out what I wanted then asked if I was support to order through a waiter and they said I had to go to the front. So I unwillingly left my personal things at my table (out of sight) to go order my food at the front. When I got there the cashier asked me for my table number. There was a number on my table? I had no idea. So I had to walk back to my table and find it. Table 3. I walk back to the cashier, customers behind me hate me at this point. I then pay and get a receipt (my meal was £7.65 for a 1/4 chicken and two sides) and sit back down. I wait maybe 10 minutes, nothing crazy and my chicken, peri chips (seasoned french fires) and cole slaw comes out. It all looks delicious. But wait I have no silverware or condiments or napkins. Did the waiter forget? I look around and realize it's all at a bar in the center of the room. I have to leave my stuff, and my food again. I grab a fork, knife, napkins, my garlic sauce (recommended by my friend) and ketchup and head back to my table. There are waiters everywhere but I'm not sure what there job is exactly, other than to bring the food out. They don't set tables or anything else. THE FOOD: The chicken was good I guess, it's grilled, definitely needs garlic sauce even though I ordered (medium spiceyness level). It's nothing to be over the moon about, slightly better than KFC. The coleslaw was good, lots of mayo but crunchy and fresh. The chips (french fries) were thick cut but seasoned nicely, needed ketchup though. CONCLUSION: Once I finished my meal I flagged down a waitress and asked if we bus our own tables or if they do it. Since I'd done everything else, I wasn't sure. She smiled and said she would do it (didn't really answer my question though). She probably thinks I'm a high maintenance American. In all honesty, I don't mind the self service type of restaurants but they should explain the process if it's your first time there. Most places like Soup Plantation will walk you through it a bit. Food was good, nothing crazy, or too delicious. The price was expensive for me, but reasonable. I suppose a meal like that would cost around $10-$12 in the US, here it was closer to $15. Would I go again? Yes...? I think so, but not often."

"If you haven 't tried Nando 's, you don 't know what you 're missing. This chain fills the gap between full-service restaurants and fast food very nicely. As a regular customer, I 'm now very used to the style of service and don 't find it at all inconvenient. The customer orders their food at the counter, and collects their own (refillable) soft drink or bottle of beer from the counter and self-service soda machine, before picking up a set of cutlery, but from this point onwards everything is handled by your server. Service of the increasingly-expanding grilled chicken range is very rapid and you can see the entire production process very clearly from the restaurant area, which provides a great deal of confidence in the origin of the product you are eating. Cooked from fresh, chicken is available in 1 4, 1 2 or whole chicken sizes, as well as various chicken burgers wings etc, and comes with a choice of peri-peri sauces ranging from very mild to blow-your-head-off hot. There is definitely a heat level for everybody though, and don 't be put off if you don 't like spicy food. The quality of the food on offer at Nando 's is definitely high, and although you may be eating chicken and chips with garlic bread, it feels like a 'proper ' meal in a restaurant rather than a fast-food joint. Nando 's is great value for money and highly recommended for all."

"Wow, this place has changed and not for the better. Back in the days when Carlos had this place you could get wholesome food served all day, I should know, I used to eat here every Saturday for years before walking in the Peaks. So I recommend Byways to some friends as we're in Bakewell for the day, we arrived at 1.40pm sat down and the waitress asked if we were ready to order, we asked for a few minutes so we could decide, 20 minutes later the waitress came and took our order, but then told us it was too late to order what we wanted, sandwiches and chips, we could now only order cake. So we ordered some teas and coffees and now it's another 20 minutes later and we still haven't had our drinks. When we enquired where our drinks were the waitress said they were mostly made but we're waiting for stuff to come out of the dishwasher. 45 minutes to get a pot of tea. Once my tea arrived it was nice enough. What's happened to this place? I'm afraid I won't be recommending Byways again, and that's a sad day. Maybe more staff would have helped? Very disappointed."

"My partner and I came in for some quick Sunday brunch on 24 October 2021. Just as a rant, I am mystified as to why local independent cafes are apparently no longer open on a Sunday. We went to two on Milton High Street and every other cafe on Worle High Street was closed. If I ever hear an independent whinge about chains taking over, I will let loose. If you want custom, open your doors. So, we had never been to Muffins before. It was reasonably busy and got busier whilst we were there. Perhaps a bit unsurprising given they were the only cafe open on the High Street, but more power to them. Some tables were reserved. Once sat, we were very promptly asked by a young lady if we would like any drinks and were given menus. We had a bananna milkshake and a mocha. Both were just as good as you would get at any chain in my opinion. We ordered food. I had toast with poached eggs and bacon. My partner had a cheese and bacon panini. Both were okay. Better than breakfast type food you would get at a Wetherspoons in my opinion. Once finished, our plates were taken quickly and we were asked if we wanted the bill or if we would like anything else. The staff said bye as we left. What more can they do? People giving this place a bit of a hard time need to lighten up a bit. It is not pretentious and it certainly is not trying to be something it is not. The staff are polite and who I assume was the owner was running around serving and taking plates and being friendly with customers. The prices are very reasonable and the food is just as good as anywhere else, but customer service politer and better than a chain. I would rather spend my money somewhere such as this. In the context of other cafes, four stars. Three for food, four for value and service."

"We came here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised at the improvement in these new premises on South Parade (near Lloyds Bank). My friend had omelette (it was so generous it must have been three eggs), plus chips and peas. I had Cheddar cheese panini (which was so thick with cheese I had to cut into it) plus salad and home-made crisps. The price was very reasonable especially considering the generous portions. We were very happy indeed! The new premises look out onto the Town Square with the fountains. And inside is nicely decorated. The toilets are pristine, which is always a bonus! Staff are friendly and charming! What more could you want???"

"Visited as it was close to our accommodation. I had the large kebab and chips with salad, which was a good size portion and was really nice. Other members of my group had the same and agreed the kebab and the chips (closer to fries)...were good. They also had some value deals with their pizza. Also ordered cheesy chips, which was quite expensive for what it was, the cheese also wasn’t melted properly. Apart from that, we would definitely come again. They also accept card and had no min charge when we were there, the staff are friendly."

"I went to Howdens Cafe for a coffee yesterday (26/11/23) at lunchtime. It was busy as usual. Usually I have a delicious roast beef and all the trimmings, but seeing it was busy, I decided just to have a coffee and a piece of shortbread. By the time I was nearly finished my coffee and shortbread, I was thinking that I should have ordered a roast beef. One of the staff members, Audrey, noticed that I was not having my usual delicacy. Without further ado, Audrey went to the kitchen, and within a couple of minutes I had a huge dish of, (you guessed it), Delicious Roast Beef and all the trimmings. I could not get over Audrey's kindness!! The staff are excellent, including the chef, kitchen staff and all the other staff throughout the building. 10/10 Without a shadow of a doubt!! There is a warmth about the place, and that has to do with excellent staff there. Thank you all so much again. Kind Regards. Norman MacLeod."

"Located just a short distance from the café at the station, this restaurant has a sign boasting that it's both cheaper and superior to the station café. Upon entering, the waitress asked me to help her read a recipe, as she had forgotten her glasses. I confirmed that it indeed called for 90 milliliters of cold water. The coffee was delightful and the bread pudding was delicious. I enjoyed my meal outside in the sun. Lovely experience!"

"I used to frequent this restaurant many years ago, when there was also a location on South Orange Ave. I would always order brisket, corned beef, or pastrami sandwiches. This was my first visit in about 10 years and I found the place to be located in a sketchy area that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The limited menu is posted on the back of one of the doors. They also serve liquor, which is kept behind a steel gate, and the register is covered with what looks like bulletproof plastic. The staff, including the owner Cooper who took my order and made my sandwich, were friendly and accommodating. The sandwiches are priced at around $13 but are filled with a generous amount of meat and come with two small pickles. The portions are large enough to be split into two meals. I opted for the pastrami Reuben which was delicious as usual. I give this place 4 stars because of the tasty sandwiches and the friendly staff."

"My wife and l, were visiting my home town, that l had not seen for a few years, and we needed to find somewhere for lunch, this was the little gem we found, it had a small tea room, at the rear with approximately four tables, we sat in the shop part on a table for two, and by the window was a table for four. We decided on two plough mans, mine was beef and ham with salad, and some new potatoes in a marinate, my wife had a ham one, with slightly curried rice, stuffed tomatoes and some new potatoes in the marinate, but no salad, they were presented by the excellent staff attending this Delicatessen. The two girls running this shop/café were very busy throughout the time, we were having our lunch, but they handled everything with a smile. We will visit this wonderful Delicatessen, when we are next in town."

"When I first reviewed this cafe it was a successful quirky place full of curios and interesting paintings available to buy, the food was simple tasty and cost effective and their bacon sandwiches and soups were the best. The problem with it now, apart from the nosey gossippy Hyacinth Bucket woman that inhabits it, is that the owner of the building insists on displaying a god-awful range of interior designs for wallpaper that no one wants. The materials and designs are all outdated and can 't even be called bespoke or cater to a market for replenishing old designs, and the owner shoves them all over the place trying to perpetuate a business that has no demand, to the complete detriment of the cafe business. If you rent out your shop space to a cafe, surely they should have the whole space rather than a little space that 's encroached upon by the remnants of your business, which affects the personality of the cafe??? It was much better when it was Fat Cats, now Will has left and it 's called something else, and the woman that lurks there is nothing more than a nosey old cow interrupting your relax time with inappropriate enquiries and talking loudly about other people 's business to the people that visit her. I hope someone new takes it over and that the owner realises that his wallpaper samples aren 't required. By anyone, ever."

"Great food and nice atmosphere. Myself and a few friends managed to sneak in on a busy Saturday night and it was great. Not the cheapest place in the world considering you order chips separately but truthful the food felt worth it. The burger I had was fantastic and one of the better burgers I've had. It's a tight place so there's not a lot of room, so I imagine it'll be difficult to move for some people and while it's disabled accessible, again space would be a concern. Staff are friendly and helpful and on the ball to ensure that no one was left without food as the regularly checked in with the chefs. We also used a light system so if we needed something we turned on the light instead of having to wave someone down, which felt much more effective. Lovely place, great staff, great food. Recommended."

"Ordered last night for the first time (am usually a loyal Dominoes customer) and can say that it won 't be the last! Had a 14 stuffed crust BBQ Feast and a 12 Four Cheese pizza and they were amazing! The chinese chicken tasted like it was direct from a Chinese restaurant and the Cheese pizza was loaded to the brim with lovely gooey cheese and you could tell it wasn 't the horrible nasty plastic y cheese like you get from some places! Both had lovely crispy bases and were evenly cooked. Much more toppings than you get at other restaurant or on a frozen supermarket pizza. Also ordered twister fries, coleslaw and a garlic mayo dip. Twisters were nice and crispy and the garlic mayo was much nicer than the normal pre packaged dips you get from Dominoes! You could tell it had been prepared that evening. And the coleslaw was amazing! Definitely homemade, perfect for dipping crusts into! Ordered online, Paid online and delivered to the door piping hot in just under 30 mins on a Saturday night. All for a much lower price than I normally pay at Dominoes! All in all, definitely a satisfied customer and will definitely be ordering again! Might have to try their 2 9 pizza 's for £10 offer seems too good to miss!"
