  • "The decor gives it a great atmosphere."
  • "Great decor and atmosphere. It's obviously run with pride."

Cons:

  • "It's just such a small venue that it felt like everyone was looking at you which made me very self conscious and nobody likes that when they're eating."
  • "We frequent the Falmouth boo Koo's and used to come to this one years ago, this time it felt dated, had a distinct lack of atmosphere and the seats are tiny and upright."
  • "The table in the window was ridiculously hot - the ceiling fans they had just werent doing anything. It became so uncomfortable that we couldnt wait to leave."

Service

  • "The staff are friendly and approachable, the food is top notch, relaxed atmosphere."
  • "Staff are super friendly and helpful."

Cons:

  • "Service was absolutely terrible booked a table when arrived was shown our seats and was left for 20 mins before we had to grab a member of staff to ask to order as they had forgotten."
  • "Even though it was quiet, the staff could have gone around and swept the floor and emptied the bin, which was full by the door."
  • "Really bad service too from very young girls all with attitudes, all on their phones."
  • "We waited for 20 minutes hoping the staff would take our order but we just left when the waiters decided to take orders from 2 other tables who came in after us."
  • "Walked Out - No Service! Was really looking forward to our first trip, my husband's birthday. Walked in and up to the counter as instructed by a sign. Waited for a couple of people to order takeaway (4 members of staff available but didn't acknowledge us). The server didn't even look at us once she had done the takeaway orders."
  • "Lack of table numbers left the waiting staff confused nearly giving our long-awaited food to another party."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food is always great, full of flavour, massive portions that we always struggle to finish."
  • "Huge, fantastic burgers for a very good price!"
  • "Really good quality food, well presented and not stupidly big portions."
  • "The burgers taste gorgeous and are cooked to perfection."
  • "Really tasty food here, you can tell your taste buds are being manipulated with all the seasonings, but who cares when it tastes this good?!"
  • "The burgers were so flavoursome and juicy with lots of melted cheese on them."
  • "Food was so good. We had a burger each and fries. Could have easily shared as portion of fries were huge. Burgers were very flavourful."

Cons:

  • "Only thing - it tasted like the chips were cooked in a weird oil so wasn't the biggest fan."
  • "Frozen onion rings that were so overcooked it was insane! It took 5 mins to come out ready so the burgers are pre-cooked and microwaved on order, really disgusting taste and texture!"
  • "Burgers was not to mine or my friends liking, we left over half each, too crispy mincey not juicy enough for my taste buds each to their own though."
  • "The food was good but not great."
  • "The food was without a doubt amazing."
  • "The food was phenomenal but a sure lack of free sauces on offer is a let down, the 'louisiana hot wings' coming with no sauce at all."
  • "The wings were OK, the coating was a little thick and tough and for spicy wings they weren't spicy at all."

  • "Quite pricey, but no more so than your other specialist burger joints."
  • "£25 for a regular burger fries onion rings and coleslaw is far too much however the taste was faultless."
