Shoutout to TONI !!!! We were so pleased with her service when we didn’t know how to carry the food that we bought without cover and even a bag to fit everything in. She was so kind to help us sincerely. With her kind attitude and ready smile.. i guess no single penny can ever replace her good heart towards her customers. I know it’s hard to not always nice but just a smile alone can change the situation.. thank you toni for your very nice gesture. Simple solutions...read full review

What a waste of money, burgers where dry and burnt. Paddy melt was a joke no cheese no onion dry as buggery. Two old blokes working in the kitchen looked like they where spent. DO NOT EAT HERE.

unfriendly service, overpriced mediocre food, long wait and it didnt need to be....they were making the food but they were really slow getting out orders....orders were piling up...people getting out orders didnt seem to be in a rush getting food out
