What a quirky place! Great food, lovely staff and just something a bit Different. Definitely recommend the cheese fondue, deep-fried baby bell is a game changer !

User

We were invited tonight for the pre opening night. What a fantastic menu, fantastic staff and all out great atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon. Keep up the good work guys. Here's to many visits.

User

Was in tonight with my partner for dinner and cocktails, staff were friendly and very welcoming explain how everything works. we had a sharing platter, side of mac n cheese and sweet potatoes for our meals which was nice to be able to try a bit of everything we had desserts which were the peanut cheesecake and waffles which were light and soft to finish off after a lovely meal we both had to cocktails Aswell which were done perfect. everything was outsanding and to top it off they had a lovely gentleman called graeme for live singing which gave the place that extra country vibe to it. looking forward to coming again.

User

Visited tonight with my husband. The decor and feel to the place was awesome, food was great and very quickly served. The portions were bigger than anticipated but really delicious. Our waitress (Lisa) was very friendly and chatty, lovely girl. Would happily go back again :-)

User

Really enjoyed a meal here today at lunchtime. Something for everyone, lots of interesting combos. One member of the group has a small appetite and was relieved there were a number of smaller things she could try. Another is super fussy about everything but found something he enjoyed. Staff were friendly and efficient. All in all I would definitely recommend!

User

Phenomenal! Food exceptional ! Cocktails amazing! Service first class! Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. Chicken and waffles do go together and the Negronis were delicious ļæ½

User

Nashville Xtreme hot burger was insanely tasty, the chicken was absolute quality and cooked to perfection but what surprised me was how quick the food arrived, I was only waiting about 5-10 minutes. The staff are really friendly and make you feel welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. I think I know where i'm going to have lunch from now on!

User

Itā€™s chicken. Itā€™s good. Itā€™s reasonably priced. Iā€™ll be back. Donā€™t want to say too much more or itā€™ll be too busy next time I go at lunch!

User

ORIGINAL REVIEW



We were so looking forward to this opening, have been to london AB a few times and itā€™s great, not here unfortunately, service was slow, staff eating behind the bar, was told nothing available with gin???? complained that the mash and fries were tasteless, got the bill and both were still on it, really let down.



We had chicken tenders to share to start, the lady said as they were very small she gave us more than six, as they were so small they were dry, the gravy dip had a nice taste but was so thin nothing stuck to the tender, the honey mayo dip was nice though



We had two chicken burgers with mash and fries, the actual taste of the burger was nice but at Ā£8.50 it needs to be a better portion, was thin



The mash was tasteless and the fries were also tasteless



We have the waitress the chance to resolve when she asked if everything was ok and we said they were tasteless and she said hanks for the feedback



When we received the bill both were still on it



Real shame, looks like we will need to go back to bucks bar and meatbar

User

We decided to try AB for lunch after hearing a bit about it from various sources. We were quickly shown to a table and our drinks and food order taken. My partner order a large coke but it came as a small. Not a major issue so let it go. We then waited ages for our food - even the lady on the next table to us said it shouldn't be taking so long! We were eventually told the chicken had been made with gravy despite us specifically requesting "No gravy"!!

When the food arrived I was more than happy with mine - chicken crunchy soul bowl. It was delicious! My partner's long awaited half chicken was however a bit dry. (Maybe it needed gravy)ļæ½

We asked for the bill and again this took a bit of time to come and when it did we were charged for the large coke that wasn't very large! I understand it's a new restaurant and teething problems are expected so would maybe wait a while before returning. Waitress was friendly though so top marks to herļæ½

User

The vibe and decor of the place is definitely a 5 out of 5.



The food is average at best - the chicken on the waffles was great, the cheese sauce was delicious but the waffles themselves were soggy (the only part of the meal I left most of).



My friend got ā€œpulled chickenā€ but it was more like lumps of chicken in a runny gravy, and not enough to fill the roll it came with.



We got a side of onion rings, they were not the best but not the worst, however were cold.



They have only just opened and didnā€™t have an alcohol license but the manager called ahead to let us know so no issue there but maybe like other places they could offer BYOB in the interim?



Other than the blonde girl on the door (I assume the manager) the staff seemed a bit all over the place but again assume they were just getting used to the place. Asked for the bill three times before we got it, again, not a massive issue.



We went on an itison voucher which was the only saving grace as I donā€™t think I would pay full price for what we got.



Would I go back? Maybe once itā€™s got itself together.
