I'm very well used to being disappointed by lack of flavor in "Louisiana" or "American Southern" food outside of the actual American South. My entire family and I were extremely pleasantly surprised at just how good and genuinely authentic this food was. I got the "louisiana hot" chicken burger, which actually was spicy, and well seasoned, and delicious. The regular fried chicken basket was some of the best seasoned chicken my brother has had in a while. Veggie burger, cobb salad, and brisket sandwhich all got positive reviews. The only thing my brother noted is the "georgia sweet tea" is nowhere near as sweet as we make it back home! But that's totally negligible, because the delicious meal and welcoming environment was wonderful. Highly recommend.

An interesting menu including burgers, dogs and ribs allow them to pull in a great variety of eaters. The food is generally good although I have found that they could do with developing their burger bun as it dissolves very quickly with one of their burgers in it. The burgers are nice although not the best I have ever tasted. Price wise they are at a good mid way point although you need to take into account that the sides are not included so this will add to your bill if you weren't expecting it. They do have a selection of bottles beers and spirits but it doesn't have the feel of a place you would go for a beer. There is limited seating at the front, it isn't the most comfortable but is more than enough to escape the British weather and enjoy your food.

Good to see that they have started doing some of the more healthy options on their menu. This place is fairly small, although they do have extra seating upstairs. But it does get packed out at weekends, especially in the summer when you get loads of kids in there trying to crowd around a small table with the one coke and seven straws routine.

The location seems pretty modern towards the back of the store (ordering and pick-up area), however, the rest of the store (seating area onwards) seemed poorly kept and dirty, even by McDonald's standard. I ordered a Millionaire's Latte via the ordering app, there was some confusion with my order as it appeared to come up as ready on the big-screen before they had even finished it, the espresso quality was really watery and it was tasteless, to make matters worse it wasn't even that hot, other than a blob of squashed chocolate-scented cream, it just tasted like hot water. The staff also seemed rushed, even though the store wasn't too busy and they had maybe 3 or 4 other orders at the same time, which shouldn't be a problem for a large store with more staff members working than that (If it had to be done, each staff member could have done an order each with ease). It really does seem this McDonald's store has declined even by McDonald's standards since the peak of reviews (which were even average back then) in the late 2000's/early 2010's and it just doesn't seem up to scratch here anymore, I even had to throw away my drink it was terrible. 1*

They have a selection of both keg and cask beers and a great selection of bottled beer too. The food is worth a visit alone.

Their onion rings are quite possibly the best I have ever had the pleasure of trying which is really saying something. Other menu options include Pizza's and a selection of Mexican based buritos,wraps and fajitas. The staff are great and friendly and the locals a bit wacky but very welcoming.

We were visiting Chester for two nights and knew in these Covid times we should book a place for supper. We Googled and consulted YELP and the Atina kitchen had as we now know excellent reviews and sounded interesting and personal. From the moment we walked in and Hannah came to our table our expectations were exceeded. The pappardelle rabbit pasta was a delight and the sauce we guess had been cooked for hours. We followed our simple but brilliant pasta with afogato a dish I have not seen on a menu for decades which had fantastic espresso and a scoop of raspberry ripple again not seen this on a menu for decades and vanilla ice cream. The staff were all very personable and the chef/owner we deduce not only still enjoys cooking but also runs a brilliant individual restaurant in a city of many choices. Go and visit and we think you will not be disappointed.

Despite this, they had tables available and we were promptly seated. I ordered a 3 egg omelette with mushrooms and spinach served with some sweet potato fries. I can't fault the food at all, everything was tasty and ingredients seemed to be of high quality. My friend had a burger which was nicely cooked and presented - with a steak knife holding it together like a dagger. They brought us a bottle of chilled tap water for no charge, and I also had a filter coffee which was pleasant enough. Almost a five star venue, just a couple of failings prevent this. I had to ask for the bill and the card machine a few times, service was slightly patchy in this regard. I would also expect a venue of this type to have wifi - and they don't!

Why I did this when Chester has no end of very good takeaways and sandwich shops I'll never know. What struck me was how expensive the food was. There was no menu in the window (not surprising) and if there had been I'd never have set foot in there. However by the time I'd got the counter it was too late so I opted for a Chicken Royale (on it's own - no fries please). Admittedly it was very tasty and freshly made but it was never worth £3.19. I could have got something much nicer for much less elsewhere if I'd known. It also struck me how quite the place was, very few customers eating in considering it was lunchtime, so perhaps it isn't just me who thinks the prices need to come down.

Much better tasting then their main line Whopper which always seems to be smothered in too much sauce.

When we went here for a snack, the only things they had that in these categories were a choice of 2 salads.

It is definitely not the sort of place I would go on a night out, even a crap night out, because there are not many toilets in the ladies and it is really cramped inside.

However, when I go to chester races this is my first stop, because they have plenty of bar staff, plenty of choice, do a cheap breakfast if that's your thing. And in my experience the beer is always cold.

It is pretty much your average Wetherspoons, yet average in the sense that the dirty unclean tables, poor vibes with alcoholics drinking throughout the day and the whole place seeming dark and unpleasant which is disappointing, made worse by the horrible smell of people smoking directly outside in the doorway which you don't seem to find anywhere else in Chester. The staff here seem, with all due respect pretty idiotic, after placing my mobile order of a Gunna Lemonade and Mint, I was served a few minutes later but I was given the wrong drink, this was made more puzzling considering he also carried my drink. After I explained the other drink was mine, he looked at me strangely and failed to grasp he'd made a mistake and he still didn't understand which drink was mine - there was no apology for the confusion either. Unlike every other Wetherspoons store I've visited, they only gave me a basic glass with ice, it surely wouldn't have hurt to add a little mint or lemon/lime. Cheap booze but that's pretty much it, yet with a poor overall feel, idiotic staff and tables which seemed really dirty and sticky like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks frankly sums up what I hate in the Wetherspoons brand, which this branch unfortunately showcase. 1*
