"I have been going to scoops diner since it first opened but I can honestly say that the place has gone downhill. Where do I start? I arrived about 18:05hrs and my order was taken at 18:20hrs which is not too bad however my food arrived after 19:00hrs. I went up to the counter twice to enquire about my food as I had to leave for work at 19:30hrs. The waitress was not helpful at all and told me there is a delay as there are lots of orders (but all the other tables had no food on them either). When the food finally arrived my food was overcooked to a point it was chewy and inedible (I ordered a t bone steak medium well). I sent the food back (anyone who knows me will know that I’m not fussy when it comes to food so imagine how bad my food had to be for me to send it back) and was still charged full price for it. They did offer to replace my food with a sizzler however I was short on time and could not wait around for another hour for some more food to arrive. My brother had a chicken steak which comes with 2 sides. I ordered 2 however we was only given one. I ordered and was charged for an extra sauce for my steak and I did not get this either. We also got a chicken pasta (which didn’t have a single piece of chicken in it and tasted like something you’d get on an all inclusive holiday). I got icecream (scoops icecream is the best) on a cone as we were leaving but the cone was stale! Overall the food was appalling as was the staff. I have been to other Scoops branches and I can honestly say this is by far the worst. I do enjoy food and desserts at the other branches and used to enjoy this but I wouldn’t recommend the normanton branch to anyone. I never write reviews but I had such a terrible experience something had to be done about it..."

"So I'm on a mission to lose some weight and get healthy, my daughter was adamant she wanted to come here for dessert. We heard it was under new management, so we were a little apprehensive. However, I enjoyed it before, but I used always get a waffle. We walked in, and the new owner was there to greet us. He told me straight away there weren't any waffles available, and to have some would be a half-hour wait. The waffles were the reason we went. I almost walked out of there, but my daughter wanted the ice cream instead. So we were a group of My children made their order and enjoyed it; the youngest one went for that blue ice cream. She enjoyed it but wasn't a fan of bits that were in it. The other three enjoyed their desserts. I thought I'd get a sundae; call it a proper cheat day (I have a lot of them). I got the chocolate sundae, and for once in my life, it was perfect. Not too sweet I felt sick, but just right so I could enjoy it and finish it off. Great value for money, and the customer service was flawless. I told my daughters to go make their orders, but the older were being shy, so when I was sitting on the table asking one of them what they wanted, I repeated it loud enough the owner got the gist of what I was doing, and was in the ball. Really nice desserts, couldn't recommend it enough. Will be back maybe even tomorrow for a waffle. Just gotta watch those calories. Lol."
