We came in because we needed some food for our toddler son. The restaurant was empty and there was…read moreonly one employee, who took our order, cooked it and served it. The restaurant was super clean and the employee was friendly, and patient with our toddler who was running around everywhere. We ordered a couple of burgers and some mozzarella sticks. The food was good, the burger was good, wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either and the food was fresh, so that was good. It's not a bad place when looking for a quick bite and want to avoid busy restaurants in the area.

Yep I've got to give credit where it's due - this place is absolutely rocking it!…read more Ok so I love this neck of the woods anyway but this recent addition (4 months open) is a great option for coffee, ice cream, desserts and snacks - plus of course the waffles and pancakes which although I didn't get to try looked amazing and pretty cost effective at under a fiver each. We went for ice creams which were quality (so many choices - the Smarties one delighted my 2 year old daughter :-)) and I really want to return soon to get stuck into the waffles. Yes - I will be back, very very soon! *This area is a great setting to take a chilled family day out in - lovely park, lots of games for kids to play, slides and swings etc. Park down by the campsite for £2 all day parking.

I had a day off, so me and the missus decided to go out for dinner.. I'd heard of this place…read morebecause it used to be the suburban bar and the opening night was a few weeks before.. they have a 3 meter big screen for sports downstairs and a restaurant upstairs.. you can book a table upstairs but you can also sit downstairs and still order a full menu in front or a massive tv. Anyway.. I ordered ribs and my other half got a brisket salad.. I have to say they both tasted amazing, if you like sticky ribs then you have to go there.. I'll be going back for sure. It's probably the best place for food in bingley now.. taking over from the potting shed in my opinion.

This is a note to Kate and the staff at Free State Kitchen to say 'Thanks!' for the delicious…read moreThanksgiving dinner last month. As an American visiting England, it was a real treat to celebrate my favorite holiday with a properly prepared, mid-day feast. Free State Kitchen had everything to make for a perfect Thanksgiving. From the starter rounds of breads, cheeses, apples and pumpkin soup, to the main course of Turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mash and sweet squash, green beans and of course endless boats of gravy that carried myself and friends from Liverpool into food bliss. Topping everything with a dessert course of Pecan pie with cream was above and beyond what I could have hoped for. Liverpool is lucky to have a place like Free State Kitchen and I hope to return here whenever I am in town.

By far my favourite aspect about Alabama's is that it's not trying too hard to be 'American Style'…read moreit doesn't feel like one of the bandwagon American burger or hot dog joints popping up all over the city. It's just casually American or you could say it has a more intelligent nod to Americana in it's decor and attitude but maintain's a Northern attitude. Like the straight out of Mad Men 1960s Piccadilly Station print on the wall, the wooden star clock on the opposite wall or the red light shades. We went for breakfast and the selection was familiar but pleasantly different. With selections of classic breakfasts which could be Americanised with Texas toast for e.g. (I didn't see any grits which I'd love to see their take on). I had the Eggs Benedict with Ham Hock, it's one of those dishes which is a great judge of a place as it only has a few ingredients any one of which can disappoint. Alabama's was spot on. In fact I'm thinking that the ham hock possibly works better than streak bacon which I hate myself for saying, but it's less salty and gives it a more rustic homey feel. Which I really enjoyed. I love my coffee and I can say their flat white was spot on for me. The staff seem great here as well, very welcoming and friendly, offering to give suggestions or anwser any questions about the food. There aren't a huge number of places even in the city centre where I can guarantee a good breakfast and a great coffee in the same spot. I'm glad to have found another to add to my list.

OH JESS H. Jess…read morerecommended East Avenue Bakehouse and Nolita, inter alia, to me when I said I'd be in Liverpool for lunch and, on finding the former closed (on Tuesdays), I was more than appeased by serendipitous solution of getting one of the latter's sandwiches, which are made on East Ave Bakehouse bread. So this - the cubanita - is the best sandwich I remember having in a long time. I even think it was better than the various delicious sandwiches I had in the US on my last trip. The bread was outstanding - thick slice, chia seeded round the edges and grilled with just the right amount of butter. Inside was pulled pork, monterey jack cheese, mozzarella, pickles. and mustard. The fries (the lunch deal includes fries) - mixed regular and sweet potato were also particularly good and came with - praise be - chipotle mayo. The coleslaw was great too. It was such a massive portion I didn't have dinner - so basically ate 2 meals for £8.50. Other important points: 1) Good music - can't remember the last time I heard Elliot Smith playing in a restaurant 2) Really nice and helpful staff 3) Takeaway was all in cardboard (i.e. no nasty plastic)

Another trip to Liverpool = another trip to Nolita Cantina = another five star review…read more Wanting somewhere we knew we could eat, drink and be happy after working and travelling across to Liverpool on a Friday night, we quickly decided to head to Nolita Cantina. It's undergone a small refurb since our last visit, meaning there's more seating, and it really seems that word has got out! With a 30 minute wait, we left our phone number and headed to Shipping Forecast for a drink. When the call came (25 minutes later, if you're wondering) we told them we'd be a couple of minutes due to having drinks and they were more than happy for us to head across in our own time. The menu has some new additions, including a philly cheese-steak, and a couple of old favourites, like the delicious mini corn dogs. As a couple we have a great system of deciding on our starters/sharer plates together, then go our own ways when it comes to mains. Cue Frank's hot sauce chicken wings and cheese stuffed jalapenos - or chilli pops - for starters, served up in the plastic red baskets we have come to expect. Chilli pops were a great heat, and the small salad/salsa that came on the side worked really well, with the wings providing the right balance between sweet and hot. Everything was totally devoured! Not wanting to rule out burgers et al for the rest of our weekend, I decided on the Havana rum ribs for my main. The photo doesn't do them justice as they were simply delicious; sticky rum sauce with enough bite to please those who don't like the meat to fall off the bone immediately. I need a lot of napkins to get through, but it was more than worth it. The other half's bacon & blue cheese burger looked humongous and certainly made him work for his dinner, but he described it as one of the best burgers he's had in recent memory. Speaking as people who eat a lot of burgers, colour us impressed! Fries are also impressive, plus they are a combination of sweet and regular - a personal favourite. The only disappointment of the meal came in the form of onion rings, which really didn't hold their own compared to the rest of the plates. But not everything can be perfect all the time... Service was friendly and attentive, though did seem surprised when we made them aware of the fact that they'd left the onion rings off the receipt. We're honest people! Nolita is really becoming a Liverpool staple for us, and I'm already looking forward to exploring more of their menu.

Living in Portland I thought let's see how the guys in Manchester do a proper sandwich…read more So looking around on Yelp I noticed this place and I have walked by from the hotel a couple of times without noticing there are some restaurants. The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!
