All I wanted was chicken and waffles. I'd been reading about them a lot (okay that sounds weird --…read moreit was related to my job and not some strange, niche interest) and it brought on a huge craving. To salve this, I looked up restaurants in Leeds that might serve them -- enter Rosie's! It's good to have friends that cater to the last minute, oft-weird whims of a lady and her oral desires. (Don't be rude.) My good pal Laurie was up for the jaunt, and so we adventured across town to the Kirkstall complex that houses this joint. It's almost a fun experience. I like the bus (you can sit inside it) and I like the booths and I even like the ultra-cheesy, very-nearly-Pulp-Fiction feel of the decor. Except, once the shine has settled, you feel very much like you're in a TGIFriday type of chain. (I wasn't so keen on that.) That said, the staff were very lovely and accommodating. I loved the fries -- this sounds silly, but I really think they can be hard to master. These were every bit of your filthy, greasy-but-crispy, desire. The burger was solid. It tasted like a solid, greasy, stodgy affair, although by no means was it at Shake Shack levels of nirvana, and the like. Mac and cheese: I've had better. The chicken and waffles: so, those weren't on the menu any more. Sad! However, I asked the waitress if I could order a waffle with maple syrup to come with our mains, and good ol' L-town ordered fried chicken, and so I was able to create my own. Plan worked a treat: whilst the fried chicken was almost certainly from a packet (it did not taste/appear to be made from scratch) it absolutely scratched the itch. Chuck a couple of those b-boys on a waffle, lather it -- nay, suffocate it -- with maple syrup, and you'll get a little closer to the kind of disgraceful treats you can get across the pond. Nope, it's not authentic. But it was what I wanted! There you have it, folks. And, I'll say, of all the eateries in the complex (bar Five Guys, because BURGER HEAVEN) this one's probs tops. Enjoy!

I got mixed feelings about this place, I went with a friend of mine that she grew up in America and…read moreshe was quite specific of what she wanted to eat. So why i got mixed feelings about it? I ordered a Pug hot dog and she ordered a steak and egg. My hot dog was decent (i must say though putting the cheese between the dog and the bun was a bit weird instead of on the top) and the size was very good but my friend on the other side wasn't as lucky as me. She asked for a medium steak and got a well done with an over easy egg on top and got an over medium. The steak looked a but dehydrated and she had to ask for some lemon to give it a boost to the flavour and she made a comment as she was eating her side of corn on the cob that the corn wasn't very fresh. I'm not sure i would go back to try something else unless is FOR SCIENCE!!!!

This place has been open only five weeks. It is sited in the converted…read more Bethel chapel on Sandside and I love the look of the place. The ground floor has a long bar on one side with open seating opposite. Then up a short flight of stairs is a Mezzanine open kitchen whih I think is great. The staircase then splits with one fork leading to an open eating area with great views to the harbour and the other leading to the toilets and a further small, sechluded seating area. The toilets by the way are bright, modern and spotless. The lighting throughout is just right neither too bright or too dark. I came with a friend who recommended the place to me. I immediately warmed to the owner and we were very well looked after. I am told that they do intend to expand the menu with the emphasis on Tapas style eating and traditional Spanish cuisine. At the moment the menu is rather limited but what they do they do very well. I think the best way to describe the food style is Meditteranean bistro. There are four choices of starter and Garlic bread. The starters are Calamares a la Romana, which we both had, crisp golden battered squid with a salad garnish and a delightful aioli with paprika. This is the first time I have had squid where the batter was actually crisp. Very, very nice. The squid was £7 which I thought was reasonable. Other starters on offer are smoked salmon and prawns in a lemon and pepepr dressing with salad also at £7. Then at £6 there is avocado and bacon salad and a tomato and mozzarella salad. Garlic bread £4.50 and with tomato an extra 50p. For mains the options are from the grill or pizza. There are five different types of pizza on offer, all cooked the proper way (thin and crispy in an Italian pizza oven). These range in price from £6.50 for a basic Margherita to £9.50 for Antons special which sounds fantastic with Jamon, chorizo and peppers. (having that next time!) On the grill one has a choice of sirloin,fillet, rump steak burger, chicken breast. All served with fries and a salad. The fillet steak is £19. I had this and asked for it blue. It was cooked perfectly for me and virtually fell to pieces. It came with a little pot of Bearnaise sauce. All the beef is sourced locally at Stepney Hill farm and matured for 21 days minimum. It oozed quality. There are three desserts on offer, fudge cake, coffee and walnut cake and ice cream. I had the fudge cake which was a delightful end to the meal. With our food we had a good bottle of Rioja at £18 and two espressos with brandy at the end. The total bill was £83 which I thought was very good. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. All in all I enjoyed this place very much and I shall definitely be back. They have placed their emphasis on quality and not quantity. So although I was still hungry I was very happy and not uncomfortably full. I think they've got the balance just right. In the future if they can truly hold on to their ideals and bring in a range of Tapas as well this would be fantastic. One other major bonus for this place is that they are injecting life and quality back into a tired and dog eared sea front. If we happen to get some sun this summer this will be the place I will want to relax in and watch the sun go down. Bravo I wish you every sucess.

PLEASE REPLACE YOUR CHAIRS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT!…read moreMy mum is covered in bruises and has a bump on her head after the chair she sat on in Uncle Joe's Diner collasped under her. The chair leg had buckled and was bent. All the chairs were the same design and were very light, flimsy and unstable. A man sat behind us said it was the 3rd time he had seen this happen! The staff were polite and apologetic and didn't charge us for our food and drink. This was before I found the slug crawling out of my lettuce! I can forgive the slug but please replace your dangerous chairs before someone is more seriously hurt!
