The food here was absolutely delicious. We had a few starters, the cheese balls. Omg. They were absolutely outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their burgers. I would 100% come back here again. The staff were top notch. Couldn't do enough to please us and make sure everything was okay.

Hannah was a very nice & smiley server - super friendly & when I went in advising I have a gluten intolerance (I just can’t consume gluten, but cross contamination etc isn’t a problem for me) she was very good, made sure kitchen and all staff were aware, and let me know what had gluten on the menu. Food was really good, even the gluten free bun! Would definitely go back, and highly recommend.

i had high hopes based on all the reviews but was disappointed by the quality of my meal. the burger was extremely dry and even with sauce on it was obvious the patty was overcooked. the bun was greasy and just didn’t taste restaurant quality. the portion of fries is just embarrassing i mean the bowl is practically empty. for the price you pay it is definitely not worth it

Second visit so there must be something good. Burgers are excellent. Chippy chips side was also top. Drinks are a little expensive but not too bad for Cardiff. Service was a little slow to start but once our order was taken things moved well.
