    Overpriced but using very cheap food. Thought it was disgusting. The fries taste like cheap supermarket basics frozen chips cooked in old oil, the burgers and hotdogs taste like the cheap stuff from Heron. Breadcakes were cheap tasting. The whole thing was awful.

    Mentioned it on another thread and my advice is don't bother.

    To go into more detail, we got there and all the tables were occupied so we said we'd eat sat at the bar.

    Not a problem, but they had one lass working the bar and one bearded hipster waiting the tables. Not good enough in my opinion and obviously there was a long wait for service.

    The menu is not brilliantly designed and limited on the sides. For instance and as standard for these joints, your choice of mains come with fries. Our lass asked if she could upgrade said fries only to be told this wasn't possible as this is just how it comes. The other choice of fries only come as a main meal in themselves...who the **** goes to such a place and has fries as a main?

    Anyways and I'm still talking fries here, when the meals came it was supposed to be skin on fries. What we actually got was some very sad looking, limp, chunky chips. Nobody bothered to tell us the fries were off.

    My philly cheese steak sarnie actually tasted decent. I'll give them that. But the bread was a little burnt on the top. The other half got some posh hot dog and thought it was ****e.

    So I would say, It's a new place and probably some teething troubles to iron out. But I was disappointed and me burd said she won't go back.

    These bar and grill places that serves your food on metal trays are ten a penny at the moment so you need to be decent. I'd say Aunt Bibbys down Prinny is currently much better and Meat Liquor in Leeds is light years ahead.

    Not been funny HHH but I ain't traipsing all the way to Leeds for a beef burger.

    Saying that I went to Meadowhall t'other week and went to Ed's American diner. I expected it to be ****e but was pretty good. I'd probably go back.

    'What did you buy at Meadowhall Carmine?' I hear you all ask.

    Well before I tell you what I bought I'll just say her indoors, junior senior and junior junior all decked themselves out for winter. Spent a fooking fortune.

    I got a bottle opener.

    A subuteo bottle opener.

    I hate shopping.

    How ****ing small are Subbuteo bottle openers?

    I mean I'm all for authenticity in scale football games but come on.

    The players are wee.

    We had similar here - http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restau...69334-Reviews-No_Name_Restaurant-Beijing.html

    Top notch food. Nothing like the crap our "Chinese" restaurants do.

    Had some spot on proper chips from cave street last night. Beut but they just don't belong with a burger.

    Nah, they probably just throw Jalapeños and hot sauce sauce on and call them bad boy fries. That kinda thing.

    I've got the missus' entire family round for dinner tonight, including her sisters four little kids.

    I've done my bit, I don't want other peoples kids tearing round my house screaming their heads off. I might give them all an E to keep to them quiet. :bandit:

    A new winter wardrobe from Meadowhall I'm guesing.

    Our lass got us the cave st fish n chips last night and she's bought us tickets for the ghostbusters screening at vue tonight.

    So I'm equally suspicious.

    It's not about the size.

    It's about what you do with it.

    If Chazz gets a bigger one, don't be ashamed of your own.


    It'll still function in an acceptable manner.



    Probably.

    Ern.

    I have bottle openers from all over the world. I have 4.

    I'll break it down in order of how butch they are.

    4. Scotland, Queens view. The word Queen is involved, hence 4th place.

    3. Finland, Sariseilka. Made out of reindeer antlers. Manly as ****.

    2. England, Sheffield. Made from a little subbuteo man. Shiny and silver, a bit camp but we can't be coming behind( no pun intended) the jocks and the Fins.

    1. Zambia, Lusaka. A rhino's head carved from some sort of African wood. It has 2 screws deployed as the main leverage mechanism. It has to be seen to be believed.

    It is unbeatable.

    McDonald's sales are down worldwide because it's said people are becoming fed up with the same standard orders (which is probably why they released those burgers made by customers this month).

    It's said by the papers that we want the Aunt Bibby/Purple Pig type of burgers now.

    I've always wondered why McDonalds never sold hot dogs.

    I'm feeling inadequate in the bottle opening tool department here.

    My workaday cap remover is a magnetic jobby that lives on the side of the microwave. Easy access for regular uncapping.

    Others include an all purpose bottle sealing remover picked up on the now defunct Seacat cross channel catamaran, several Swiss Army knives, a couple of key fobs and a jokey plastic penis in twat thing that someone brought me back from Malta.



    I'm not in your league.

    I apologise.



    I've just read this post back and I'll point out that my magnetic jobby isn't a turd or anything.


    I'm not wierd.

    It came free with The Times.
