"Tomahawk was incredible! Undoubtedly the best steak I have ever eaten! Seating is strange ambience was definitely lacking. We ordered a side it was clearly forgotten about, we reminded staff twice we were still waiting on it, decided to start eating what we already received as we didn’t want it to go cold it arrived when we were 3/4 finished. Disappointing in that respect, as it was not busy at this time."

"We enjoyed the pre-theater menu with the kids, and the children's menu was excellent. The service was outstanding, and the pre-theater menu included a lovely glass of Prosecco, which I typically don't enjoy, but this one was quite nice, especially thanks to my ticket booking offer. I had some delicious wings and a fantastic steak, while the kids opted for burgers. Everything was great, and we left very happy!"

"An Atmospheric, Culinary and Interior Jewel! I have lost count now on the amount of times I've visited The Black Friar, every single time it surpasses expectations. Simply put, it's stunning. Every aspect of your visit is taken care for. From the moment you walk in the front door of the original pub front you are cared for and treated to the highest standard. The staff are amazing and genuine, which makes it such a nice time and visit. You are then walked through to the back where your eyes are opened to the beautiful kitchen and back extension. Now match that with the food and the gorgeous setting, it's just the best. The original pub features married with excellent architecture and decor makes it one of the best venues in Manchester. The seasonly rotating menus blow your taste buds and senses away. It's hard not to always have their famous pies, this visit I had the scallops, crispy porchetta with hassleback potatoes. Well, hassleback me there right now!!! Closed of with a decadent white chocolate and Bailey's choux bun and caramac crackling, the flavours, quality of food and presentation were exceptional."

"As usual the food was excellent and there was a lovely atmosphere. The waiters were attentive without being intrusive. However, there were six of us and all the starters didn't arrive at the same time (the first time this has happened), in addition to which the room temperature was rather on the chilly side. Overall, however, everyone had a very enjoyable evening and we will be returning yet again."

"Ordered steak medium rare, came well done. Then had the server argue and try to tell us that our obviously well done steak was in fact medium rare. Plus the steak was 100 quid. Should have gone to goodman."

"We had a lovely meal here. Two adults two kids. Kids menu was decent. Me and my partner had the bang bang chicken to start which was lovely! Both had the fillet cooked medium, sides all really tasty and home made chips and onion rings! The only thing I didn’t like was the guacamole (I know guacamole with steak but I love avocado! it honestly was the most horrible thing so pale in colour and smooth as anything it was clearly out of a bottle and not homemade. But that’s personal choice I guess! I would definitely eat here again the flavour on the steak was unreal!"

"We waited for an hour for our food, but it never came. The restaurant was not very busy, yet we were seated at a small table. When another diner arrived, she was seated right next to us, even though there were five other empty tables in the same area. The tables were already close together, but they moved her table even closer to make room for the empty tables. It was so cramped that I couldn't even get out of my seat. It was such a bad experience that we ended up canceling our food and leaving."

"My wife and I were down in London to see a show and stayed over in Hammersmith and I'd found this place beforehand and had booked a table and good job I had, every table was taken and they were turning people away all evening. We shared the pizza focaccia bread to start, which was lovely, soft and warm and served with olive oil and balsamic, to dip into. My wife then had the seafood tagliolini dish and said it was the best pasta dish she's ever had and she loves pasta and regularly has it when we got out, so that is high praise. The prawns were proper big and meaty and the crab soft and she said every mouthful was a fishy taste sensation. Often with this type of dish the primary taste is tomatoes and the fish plays second fiddle but not here. I had the fillet steak in a peppercorn sauce with rosemary potatoes and a rocket and parmesan salad. I'd asked for my steak medium and it was spot on, cooked to perfection. Peppercorn sauce probably wouldn't be my first choice (blue cheese would) but this sauce was lovely, yes it had peppercorns in it but it was a hint, not overwhelming and detracting from the steak. The rosemary potatoes were lovely too and whilst a rocket and parmesan salad might be a simple dish and difficult to get wrong, it is possible but this was great too and went perfectly with my meal. My only slight criticism, and I haven't marked them down over it, as that would be unfair, because the meal was good, is that my Cacciari's handcrafted beer wasn't cold enough, barely cold even and it needed to be, so a tip for them, try to make sure your beer is cold. My glass of Chiaretto Del Garda on the other hand, was perfectly chilled and quaffable. Also, the service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive, just how it should be. We've commented to ourselves about restaurants before, that those that seem to have a maitre d or someone who just has that all seeing eye, are so good and stand out from the crowd, well done. Would I go again, too right I would, would I recommend it, without hesitation but make sure you book. Dined 25th November."

"Went for dinner with my wife and was very excited about the place as it looked real nice and the ostrich eggs, it happens that they don't have ostrich eggs in there anymore. I think they should update it on their website and Google as we felt very disappointed. Waitresses seem to be very distracted, there was some drama going on with a customer screaming which happens sometimes, but I don't think this should take the attention of the whole staff. We were waiting 15 minutes for cutlery, so we took the ones from next table as our food had arrived already, he gave us such a stare for taking the cutlery from the next table and came puffing to replace the ones we took, I guess he was expecting us to eat with our hands. The kitchen is exposed, so we can see what is going on there, and oh God, the chefs were CONSTANTLY eating, licking their fingers while preparing the food which to be honest almost made me leave. For the service they provide I think is super overpriced, we didn't enjoy the food as we constantly saw cheffs licking fingers, wine was hot, lasagne was tasting weird, the chicken parmigiana was literally nothing special. Definitely not going back at all, I don't think that place should ever be called an Italian restaurant."

"I've visited this branch a couple of times now (it's rare for me to be in Cambridge but stopping here is always a must! Staff are always friendly, in particular our waiter. He is always helpful approachable, takes the time to explain the menu make sure you are comfortable. The food is on point too! Honestly the nicest burgers I've ever eaten, full of flavor, chunky chips were out of this world the milkshakes are to die for. I find the restaurant very comfortable too, it has been clean and tidy on every visit so far the aesthetics and atmosphere are nice, music not too loud, etc. Only complaint, if any, is that it can be a little bit chilly by the big windows but it's not that bad. Eating here has been one of my best experiences when dining out, if burgers shakes are your thing then go for it treat yourself! It's well worth a visit, especially for the price :"

"I was expecting better as I had eaten there a few weeks earlier when the food and service were good. This time however, the chef seemed to have tipped a jar of salt into the food the burger was crunchy with salt which seemed to make up about half the burger! It was totally inedible. The side salad and coleslaw were also too salty, and the potato wedges were heavily coated in salt. I managed to wipe off the worst of it and eat a few. A complete waste of money. The surly waiting staff also avoided asking 'How is your meal? ' as is usual. They must have known how bad it was. I 'm deleting my GBK app and will never return."

"The staff were excellent, efficient and polite. Me being me had an awkward order mixing up the menu choices and the Manager came to our table and then ensured my request was carried through which it was. So I was impressed by the personal touch from the management. The food and service were great. I would have had another fried chicken if I had room for it. Definitely the best-fried chicken I had ever had.. everyone else in my party commented on the food is excellent."

"Today I had lunch at this restaurant, even though it is a bit far from my usual area. I came across some small reviews, so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered a vegetarian pizza and veggie with sweet potato for two people. The food was incredibly delicious and flavorful. The vanilla latte was a bit too strong for my taste, but overall it was still good. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I was pleased to see that they had Aqua Pana, which is not commonly found in restaurants. I took some videos and photos to share. Overall, a great dining experience. Goodbye!"
"Kind staff, easy and fast service. We ordered on the app, it messed up our order somehow and we were very confused. Normally I’d say it was our fault but we both clicked on the vegan section and so there was no way we could’ve accidentally clicked a meat burger from there. So was not their fault at all but equally we are both vegetarian so we couldn’t eat the burger, however the wait staff was very kind and without any hesitation they went and made a vegan burger instead and was fast ! I never like to cause any issues at all and so I was worried I’d made an issue for them, however they were so polite and just brushed it under the rug it made me feel a lot more comfortable. Thanks for helping us out and we will definitely be back"

"This restaurant has a great location with beautiful views. The outdoor seating area is wonderful when the weather is nice, but unfortunately, it was not on the day we visited. As a result, they had to seat everyone indoors and it was very crowded with strict 2-hour time limits enforced, which made the dining experience feel rushed."

"I was initially considering the 3-star option, but I heard so many great things about the burger at this place. In all honesty, it's just a burger chain, but the burger here is worth trying."

"GBK staff are friendly, our food arrived promptly and it was tasty. But it's close to £20 per head for a drink, burger and fries. There was no queue to get in, but a near 20 minute wait to place you order. You have to rejoin the queue to refresh or order additional drinks. We spent 20 minutes eating, 15 minutes waiting for food and about 35 minutes in queues! I'd get the advantage of this model if the food were reasonably priced, but it's not. There are numerous alternatives to GBK, I won't be hurrying back."

"VERY EXPENSIVE. We had a small meal, which came to £95. This is probably the worst value restaurant I have ever been to in London. A small beer is £5 (which costs about 70p). The main courses of a very basic Bolognese were £15 each, for a small plate. I cannot think of a worse value-for-money that I’ve ever been to. And we eat out across the city 5 nights of the week, every week. Service was good. Polite and friendly young lady served us. She was sweet and looked after us. But yes, the plates/bags/glassware was all branded, which is what the customer is paying for. Also, £3 for a small jug of soda water from the tap behind the bar. Not even a branded bottle. The food was decent, but the price we paid…..I would never ever return because I feel like I’ve been frauded, frankly. 3/10 stars, based on price. Will not return. Wild never recommend."

"This is a pleasant, welcoming burger place that aims to provide slightly better than average food and service and, in my opinion, succeeds. The decor is nice and comfortable. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The food was served fairly promptly and was of good quality. The menu doesn't offer tremendous variety but it's a case of quality rather than quantity and they do cater for both vegetarian and vegan requirements. I went to GBK with a friend at a time of night when most other places nearby looked rather noisy or too busy for their own good (i.e. there were clearly more people than the staff could really cope with). GBK seemed like a relatively peaceful oasis by comparison and I think turned out to be a very good choice. Everywhere was clean, the food was highly satisfactory and my friend and I were made to feel welcome. I don't go to many burger places but I'd go to GBK again."
