Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The grilled cheese sandwich was delicious - the only thing that could improve it would be a side of tomato soup to dip it in."
  • "We ate the Bob's Brunch which was a classier take on a full English and the Chicken Schnitzel with grilled broccoli. They were both delicious and the portions were hearty."
  • "Loved my grilled soundwich with cheese and nduja - it was both filling and delicious."
  • "The burgers were absolutely delicious and only took a 5-10 minutes."
  • "The food was really lovely and the service was outstanding."

Cons:

  • "The caesar salad was a good portion size with plenty of cheese."
  • "The menu is a little limited so I'd recommend the burger as a safe, no fuss option."
  • "On the other hand, a friend had the fried eggs on a sourdough slice and found them decidedly average."
  • "The soup was flavourless (too watery) and very spicy but we didn’t want to complain."
  • "The cheese toastie was so oily, it seemed as if it had been deep fried."

Service

Pros:

  • "The service was friendly and fast."
  • "Salvatore made the evening! He was courteous and professional; recommending the pear baked cheesecake after our meal which was scrumptious."
  • "Staff are always on top form, very friendly and helpful."
  • "They have Covid guidelines in place and the Italian staff were all very helpful, friendly and attentive."
  • "The staff were very friendly, but the menu was limited."

Cons:

  • "The service wasn't great (friendly but they forgot our drinks and one of our orders was incorrect)."
  • "Service left much to be desired, waitress forgot items in my order."
  • "Service was very poor, if not non-existent."
  • "We waited for ages and finally had to find a waiter and request our mains!"
  • "The hostess was rude and unaccommodating during the visit."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

  • "Lovely place for brunch at King's Cross, situated in the market at Coal Drop Yards."
  • "Inside it’s industrial in style."
  • "It had quite a rustic feel inside but since there were no tables available outside we secured a small one at the rear indoors."
  • "Great location and very much enjoyed the grilled cheese and onion toastie."
  • "Loved my visit to Morty and Bobs - but it was Fran the manager, who was amazing."

Cons:

  • "The exposed wooden tables didn’t give the cleanest of feels."
  • "The place itself is ok, enough sitting space and good service."
  • "Music was a little loud and I felt slightly rushed but this may have just been the efficiency of the staff."
  • "Tiny tables, high wooden ‘semi bar’ chairs and nowhere to put your bag or coat."
  • "It's OK. Note that the menu online is not the same as what's in store at the moment."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The food was a solid 10/10, the service and restaurant itself is extremely welcoming and I’ll definitely be visiting again."
  • "The staff couldn't be friendlier."
  • "Great food and superb cocktails."
  • "A great spot to spend a few hours."
  • "The food however was quite disappointing and the prices pretty ridiculous."

Cons:

  • "It’s certainly not the cheapest of options, especially for a quick brunch."
  • "The menu was quite limited. Probably because we weren't drinking alcohol we were a bit neglected."
  • "The prices are terribly expensive, too - a coke costs £3, still water 750ml £4,50, coffee £2,8 and still water 330ml £2."
  • "£11 for a pastrami pickle and cheese sandwich. I couldn't taste the pastrami so I opened the sandwich."
  • "Overpriced for what it is - basic foods like burgers and roast chicken."
