I first came across this place on my birthday a few years ago. Parents were in town visiting so we…read morewent in search of dinner on a Wednesday night. My mum had heard about this place opening, and as we approached we saw a bouncer, balloons, reals carpet etc. Turns out it was opening night and fully reserved for a private party for management and press, but my mum somehow managed to sweet talk the manager into giving us a table at the back. The night was excellent - free food and drink, first class service and great live music. Sadly after a year or so things have changed. The place always seems to be empty when we go. On a Friday night there could have been no more than 10 people eating. I think this is due to the fact it's overpriced for what it is and where it is, and the fact it's located in the Gate. To get there or leave you need to walk through the carnage that is the ground floor of The Gate. A quick meal for 2 of us came in at over £70! The food is good but not great. It's themed on a road trip along Route 66 so expect burgers, ribs, fajitas etc. It's basically a copy of TGIs or Hard Rock Cafe. The sad thing is burgers take up a big chunk of the menu but have always been disappointing. Equally I remember getting ribs once pre-cut in a bowl. I want my ribs on the rack!!! The salad with my steak last night was described as something along the lines of rocket with shaved grana padano and slow roasted tomatoes. What I got was a pile of sorry looking rocket with no cheese or tomatoes in sight. They also screwed up and brought me the wrong sauce. They have a couple of decent beers like blue moon and Sam Adams on tap, and the milkshakes are pretty good. The service was fantastic to start with, with a big emphasis on over the top, whatever you want Americanism that I'm fond of, but this energy seems to have faded away over time as well. As my report card used to say, could do better if only he applied himself more.

Holy Smokes. More like "Holy Smokes, where is our food"?…read more So... I bet you're probably wondering what happened. Apparently there was a "problem with the kitchen", which meant we had to wait a very long time for our food. However upon closer inspection the problem was probably the kitchen as a whole, as on my way to the toilet I got a good look at the serving area. It was grimy and covered in an off putting assortment of foods and slop that must had slipped off of the plates and been left to fester. Upon the eventual serving of our food we were missing 2 of our orders. We assumed that they would be there shortly....they weren't. We ended up having to inquire about the missing meals with our waiter who as it turned out had forgotten to put our other orders through, meaning we had to wait for them to be cooked too. On top of that, despite the cokes we ordered at the bar litteraly being clear and not black/browny coloured, we were served them anyway. We also had to enquire about getting some that didn't just taste of sparkling water and that actualy contained the syrup... And that isn't even the end of it. The food also tasted like raw onions, the bacon, the burgers, the brisket. EVERYTHING. All in all, the service was bad, food was bad and the hygeen was bad. 0/10, would not wait for food again.

If you're waiting for a movie upstairs, this is the place that you should kill your time at. It's…read moremuch better than if you wait at the first floor rock'n roll bars where drunkard constantly comes to ask for a light. The neon light at the window tells you whether you can still have a burger, or just the Manhattan Mist green cocktail which I like the most. The bar seats are thought triggering and the bartenders are very polite and prompt. It is neither America nor Italian, it is traveler's. Good for educated people.

Quite possibly the worst mcdonalds we have ever had the misfortune to visit; we did think that…read moreperhaps this was a fluke, but occasional visits over the years have not improved our original impression. Generally, you'll be told to pull your car into one of the bays to wait on your food - this happens even if there is no queue and very few customers in the restaurant....your food then arrives lukewarm delivered by a sullen member of staff. We once received a full credit for a meal that had fries that were so oversalted that we very nearly vomited on tasting. Overall, lacklustre food from equally lacklustre staff who you can tell would rather be working anywhere else apart from mcdonalds.

Good. On top food and only just adequate service. Ambiance is that of an American style diner.read more

There is something for everyone like all Frankie and Benny's the menu (both food and drink is the same) but the service is excellent, they'll do anything for you and they're never in a hurry. Everything is good about it, the atmosphere, the staff, the music and the menu selection. Food has always been good quality and service pleasant. It's open late and they never hurry you out, the place will stay open until the last person leaves!

Fear not, the queue of mainly students goes really fast. Have your £1 ready and you can have your baguette and 1p change in a matter of minutes. The place is pretty small (the queue extends outside a lot) and there's table benches to sit on either side. There's additional seating downstairs now too. Aside from the popular baguette, there's a selection of canned soft drinks and sandwiches from the cooler on the right and a hot drinks machine on the left (not sure what they did with the hot food thing which housed pasties etc). On the menu is also baked potatoes and panninis and there's also a breakfast menu too for early risers. There's so many different fillings that you could probably go everyday for a month and still.not tried everything. The staff deal with everything very quickly and say minimum words so don't expect to hold any conversations. The food. Well, I've only tried the baguette. It's alright. It does the job and for 99p, you can't really complain. The baguette is fresh and crunchy and there is a decent amount of the filling. It may not be the best quality food but seriously, who cares if you want food to save you from certain starvation?
