It takes a top flight business to put a huge smile on my face, this place absolutely excelled.So...proper baptism of fire, 2 trio of meat roast dinners, Mother's day, nightmare right? Im sure I demanded the impossible, I could not have been more wrong.40 minutes after ordering, a very polite and enthusiastic delivery driver handed me 2 extremely well packaged meals which were nothing short of Perfect!Happy belly, happy mummy, will be coming to dine in soon!

The kids burger meal didn't come with the carrots, cucumber or squash as stated on the menu.The ribs had a twang to them and were definitely not slow cooked(more likely reheated) and not falling off the bone as you would expect.The buttermilk chicken burger had horrible soggy lettuce in with a thrown in splodge of whatever the sauce was supposed to be.No side salad, pickles or onions in the other burger with chewy bacon. And the fries were dry and rubbery.We would've been better going to McDonalds and it would have been cheaper and we more than likely would have got the complete order.Disappointed in an understatement. I will definitely not be recommending this place.Even walking in to the pub for collection was so awkward and uncomfortable with no warm welcome at all. Couldn't wait to walk back out.Avoid if you can!!

We had a takeaway and it was ready on time and it's a nice venue to collect from. Not sure if it was an off night but the food was so bland and all was cold. £13 pizza was like a frozen one from aldi - no seasoning, hard base and cheddar cheese on top. Really didn't rate the food at all but might be a one off given the other reviews.

Didn't feel like an American diner, which is what was expected. A gentleman was watching the TV by the bar so there was no music and no atmosphere.The food was perfectly acceptable, and I enjoyed the meal. Price was average for this type of setting. Bathrooms clean and tidy. Large seating area outside, very pleasent, and obviously child friendly, as lots of ride on toys for toddlers.Service was standard, weren't offered the milkshake menu, had to ask for that, but it was on the same menu as the desserts.All in all a good meal, the only reason for not visiting again is that I was just passing through, and don't have a reason to visit that area again.Parking: Large unsurfaced car park.

Sat 11th Nov 23. There was a large group for a celebration and they had already finished eating, no other covers at the time. We were ushered to a table and after ordering, drinks were quick to arrive but the food took some time. When it did arrive presentation was good, however, the 1/2 rack of ribs was cold and dry. No excuse, that is a deliberate act of sabotage to the business. One saving grace was the waitress did ask if everything was ok, and she quickly offered to have a new rib done which was ok. The classic burger was ok, the meat was cooked and texture was just right but seasoning was non existent. I cannot compare it with say Ed's because it was not in the same league so I have compared with Burger King and the King won on price, taste and perhaps a draw on atmosphere. We are "local" to this establishment but if I'm honest, until I see a name change for this restaurant, I will be avoiding. There are just too many great eateries to take a punt on an inconsistent chef. 2/5

Plenty of parking space. The food was excellent and promptly served by friendly staff. The only problem was the music from the bar area was clashing with the music in the restaurant area. It became very annoying and spoilt what would've been a great evening out. Would suggest either having a door between the restaurant and the bar, or turning the music down in the bar.

Really authentic American food! Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff. Food was delicious and arrived quickly. Will definitely be back, thank you!Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options available!

We visited RAF Duxford recently and the family was hungry so I found this great place on a short trip down the road. The restaurant is part of the hotel. Food took a little while to come but it was worth the wait! The price is very reasonable considering the portion sizes. We'll definitely pop back in if we are in the area again!Parking: Gravelled car park. Plenty of spaces available. However I expect it gets busy in the evening as it is part of the hotel.Kid-friendliness: There is an outdoor play area at the hotel. The kids were busy playing while waiting for our food. Good variety of climbing and play equipment.

Really disappointed, took my wife here for a meal on her birthday weekend, she loves ribs so seemed like a good option... When they arrived (about 5 minutes before my meal arrived) they were chewy, overcooked and dry, not bad going for something described as 'fall off the bone' she sent them back and refused to eaten anything else after the waitress apologised and offered to see if they had a fresher rack as these were cooked yesterday... I've never heard a restaurant admit to cooking food the day before and reheating. On top of that, they want to charge £22 for the privelage. Then when paying she told us they had taken the ribs off the bill, like they were doing us a favour!If you want good food and to all be eating at the same time, you'd be better off going literally anywhere else.

Pretty poor tonight, ordered food online for collection. Food was ready spot on time, got home to find two items missing (halloumi fries and dirty fries)Called them and they arranged for the missing items to be made for me to come out and collect again. When I show up to collect they had missed the dirty from the fries and had to wait again for this to be corrected.First experience here, wouldn’t be in any rush back

Had high hopes, but was a little bit of a let down.This was our first time at the restaurant. Menu boasts food is cooked a long time and is juicy. Our slow cooked food was so dry. No sauce was offered and not sure it would have helped.Felt like the food had been reheated from yesterday. I imagine that there might not be the traffic on Sunday to warrant cooking fresh food.Still disappointing as had high hopes based on reviews.
