Regretting my choice too share one we then chose some mother clucker fries and pulled pork ones. Mine were just soggy fries with lots of cheddar on..the chicken ones did look better.

It's a cute little restaurant with a small number of seats, but that's not a deterrent. The burgers on the board looked absolutely amazing, so we decided to get one cheeseburger with blue cheese and bacon and one of the bbq pork burgers (topped with bbq pork). We also split their animal-style cheesy chips. I also had a root beer (yes, they have root beer in the UK!) So the burgers. We split them in half, and they were two different buns. The bun on the pork burger was the right size, but a bit stale and crumbly. I would have preferred the burger to be cooked a bit more pink in the middle. And unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of flavor all around (the meat definitely needed more seasoning.) The cheese burger had a massive bun. It was way too big for the size of the patty, so we ended up eating only part of it. And with a blue cheese burger, I expect a nice rich experience, but it was still kind of bland and under-seasoned. And the animal-style cheesy chips. Coming from the US, I expected an In-N-Out animal style thing, and they were just some chips with a bland cheese sauce and a few chopped pickles. Not quite the animal style I was hoping for. So a good effort, but for me, it was lacking. Which is unfortunate. It's a super cool venue, and the music was great, and the workers were super friendly (and attractive!), but the food just really didn't stand up for me.

Location couldn't be better. Right at the wonderful beach. Having dinner, some beers and watching the sun going down. Fantastic. There are a good number of tables outside. Depending on the day it can get windy though. Plenty of tables inside as well, some with great views as well. You order at the bar and the food and drinks will be brought to your table. Staff was very friendly, food arrived pretty quick and prices are fair. There are no reservations and the place is well visited. Even so, it wasn't a problem getting a table even on a weekend. Just a really short wait. We were very happy on our first night, so came back two more times. Had twice the Burger. Nice chips, good meat quality, nice flavour from the grill. Had chicken tacos and fish tacos. Especially the chicken tacos were very nice. Fresh and filled with some nice crispy veggies. Also had a ciabatta chicken sandwich - ok, but not great. And a peperoni (salami) pizza, which was very good. Sometimes wine, sometimes beer, sometimes some cider with the meals. All in all it's easy beach-bar food. But it's fresh, it's well cooked and enjoyable. Together with the fantastic location I'd say it's the best place to grab dinner in town.

English beach at Its best…read more Situated in the shadow of the iconic Tate St Ives gallery, Porthmeor is a sandy, safe beach, popular with surfers and swimmers alike. It's in an ideal location just a stone's throw from the centre of St Ives, where you'll find ancient pubs, trendy cafes and lots of art galleries the town is famous for. A perfect place for a beach picnic - you can easily get all you need from the town, the beach is busy in summer with families who enjoy the easy access, and in winter the surf brigade from the town have all those rollers right on their doorstep. Porthmeor is one of only eight beaches in Cornwall that hold the prestigious Blue Flag Award 2021, given in recognition of water quality, safety, environmental management and education. Lifeguard cover from Easter until the end of October (2021). Parking - the car parks in St Ives get full very early in main season, and the large car park at the top of town can bit a hike back up. Why not try parking at St Erth station or Lelant Saltings and enjoy the scenic branch line into the heart of St Ives. Please note: Dogs are welcome on this beach except between 15th May and 30 September (10am - 6pm) when a seasonal dog ban is in place (2020).

We only had to wait a few minutes at the car park just up the hill, and we were seated almost immediately, though we were told that the kitchen was quite backed up (10am on the last Saturday in August, beautiful morning), so we'd need to wait about 10 minutes to order. No bother, we started with hot chocolate and a carrot-ginger juice (made in house). Drinks were great. Unfortunately, when we did get to order, we were told that they were out of pancakes. So both J and J ended up with poached eggs and toast. Jimmy got the side of chorizo. I got the scrambled eggs, cornish crab, crème fraiche, lemon and rocket. Though the kitchen was backed up, the food came decently quickly. My eggs were delightful and mixed quite well with all the other toppings. The views of the beach and surf school were entertaining, as were the menus with the clippings mentioning the historic shipwrecks and even the subsequent capsizing of a lifeboat during the rescue. It's a charming spot, but you'll need to get there early if you want pancakes.
