Bonehead Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The chicken comes out still fingertip-burning hot with steam billowing from the supple juicy meat underneath the shatteringly crisp fried crust of a skin."
• "The best chicken sandwich; crispy coating and the juiciest thigh meat."
• "Bonehead's fried chicken is basically exactly what you expect when you look up the dictionary definition of 'Southern Fried Chicken'."

Cons:

• "I always find the chicken to be extremely rubbery and without flavour with the burger relying on the toppings and sauces."
• "The chicken in my burger was grey, fatty and rubbery, the waffle fries were no better than frozen ones you can buy."
• "The burger was a bit too greasy so you can't really taste the seasoned flavour."

Variety and Options

Pros:

• "There's always a great selection of both can & draught beers, and the chicken is absolutely unbelievable."
• "They serve chicken in a variety of ways, strips, wings, and burgers with lots of different dips."
• "I've tried pretty much everything they sell but the dragon burger is to die for!!"

Cons:

• "The menu is all fried chicken and burgers, which might not cater to everyone's taste."
• "Limited menu, but what they do sell is spot on."
• "The menu is simple and straight to the point which I’m a fan of, but the choice of sides is disappointing."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The grungy atmosphere was perfect, the staff were lovely."
• "Tasty, quality fried chicken with some heat/bite/kick, all served in a hard rock, grungy setting."
• "The atmosphere in there is cool. Proper heavy. Really hope they never change or compromise on that vibe."

Cons:

• "To look at this place from the outside, I'd never go in. It's so unassuming, and looks like a biker bar."
• "The restaurant is very busy and you are crammed in. There is only 1 toilet in the whole place as well."
• "The place looks like it's been thrown together on a budget but it works."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the vibe was chilled with great rock music."
• "The staff were also incredibly knowledgeable on the items on the menu, as we weren't particularly sure what certain things were."
• "Service is fast and friendly and the scene feels like a 90's cafeteria with a rock element attached."

Cons:

• "The service is very-very slow, and we were waiting for a meal for about a half an hour which is a lot for a fast-food type of food."
• "Staff seemed really disinterested. Didn't mind the wait for food, you could tell that the chicken was freshly prepared and made to order."
• "Staff are unbelievably arrogant, manager has his face stuck in a clipboard instead of looking after guests."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Price point is spot on though, cheaper than most places in the city centre."
• "The portions were generous, making it an excellent value for money."
• "Best Fried Chicken in town! Great little bar downstairs and restaurant upstairs. The wings are bangin but all about the burgers for me."

Cons:

• "Pretty expensive too. However the venue and atmosphere is brilliant."
• "The burger is the star of the show... Hands down the best chicken burger I've ever eaten. Loaded fries weren't great (a lot of money for coleslaw + lattices that seemed like they were from a packet)."
• "While the food tasted great, unfortunately there was a greyish section of meat in my burger... ended up vomiting two times, I had not eaten anything else that day or anything after."
