Review of Garfunkels
18 Apr 08, 10:45
Inedible food and very rude staff 
We will never return to Garfunkels again after a recent bad experience. The service was very slow and when the food arrived it was inedible. My good man had ordered fish and chips but the fish looked like it had been fried and re-fried several times and was solid - I mean totally rock hard, he couldn't even cut it. His chips were soggy, a horrible colour and looked like they were leftovers that had been heated up. My cottage pie was just as bad, the veg on the side was so overcooked and dull and had other food/sauce marks on it suggesting it was leftovers lifted off someone elses plate and then served up to me. The cottage pie was horrible, again it looked like it had been put together from other people's leftovers.
We couldn't eat the food and when we told the waitress she was very rude. The manager was equally as rude and said there was nothin wrong with our food and that they would not bring us replacements as our food looked edible to her. After much arguing and demonstrating that the sharper knife they brought over couldn't even cut into the rubbery fish they said they would knock the fish alone off the bill and would not let us leave until we had paid for this terrible affair.
We will never come back and would never recommend this to anyone - inedible food that was probably leftovers and re-cooked several times, poor customer service, rude manager and being forced to pay for food that was inedible and that we simply could not eat.

Review of Planet Hollywood

Too pricey, slow service and not much choice on menu 
This is so average and only worth going once as a tourist just to say you've been there as the food is too expensive for what it is, not enough choice on menu and nothing special at all. It's loud and the service is slow and I'm just not impressed - a more expensive version of TGI Fridays with ex-movie memorabilia as decorations.

Review of Tinseltown 24 Hour Diner

Amazing milkshakes but everything else could be better
I’ve been here a couple of times for the milkshakes because they are so amazing – flavours include: oreo, twix, toblerone, malteaser, crunchie, mars….. all your favourite chocolates made into milkshakes – heaven!! Everything else could be much better (décor, food, atmosphere) and sadly it is such a hangout for annoying teenagers who love themselves that I often walk in and walk out again rather than put up with them yelling, throwing things and generally making anyone else who wants a nice, quiet and enjoyable time fee very uncomfortable. I haven’t tried the food there so can’t comment on what it is like. Staff also often act like they don’t care and I’m sure a lot of the annoying youngsters there are their friends or family. Parking is also an issue around this area which makes it difficult to visit this place. It has the potential to be as amazing as the milkshakes they serve but sadly everything else makes it a place you don’t want to go unless it is quiet and you are one of the only customers in there.

Review of TGI Fridays

Sent steak back 3 times
I've been to TGI's loads of times and the meals are generally ok. The restaurants are usually annoyingly loud and have always found staff to be either intrusively "friendly" and overenthusiastic in order to get tips or very rude with customer service as the last thing on their mind. For a safe bet, order a burger and do not order steak. I ordered a steak medium rare and it came well done so I sent it back; another was then brought over virtually raw and the third one was cooked properly but I had an after-taste of washing-up liquid in my mouth.... If there is anywhere else to go for food I'd pick that over TGI's and only really go here as a last resort.

Review of Fine Burger Co
11 Apr 08, 13:29
Mighty fine burgers! 
This has to be one of the best burger restaurants I've been to, with so much choice and brilliant quality food - try a non typical burger such as the Greek Lamb and Feta burger. The sides are good too, the tempura onion rings are superb as is the fried baby squid. It is a bit more expensive than other burger places but is well worth it to get the quality and portion sizes. Drinks are a bit over priced but go for the burger experience!

Review of Hamburger Union
11 Apr 08, 13:25
Burger and a half! 
A brilliant restaurant where you know the food is all cooked fresh to order and hasn't been lying around half cooked or re-heated before it is served to you. The price reflects the quality and you pay for what you get so although you can get burgers cheaper elsewhere, here they are fresh, juicy, filling and bigger portions. You can call ahead and order takeaway which is always handy. The alternative to beef options look great although I haven't tried them, friends who have say they are very good. Chips are freshly cut and chunky and there is a wide variety of sauces you can order, but you do have to pay for sauces that are not the standard ones on the table tops.
