After a heavy night I took my friend here for brunch. On the outside it looks closed. Walking up the stairs exposes a open kitchen and large seating area with cacti everywhere and a cool kat clock over looking the place. The service was enjoyable from start to finish..90 percent of staff including the chef looked genuinely happy to be working there dancing to the music smiling as they cooked and served. It gave it a buzz! The menu consists of well..a American diner..from the special board I chose the maple pecan nut shake and the Benny crab cakes.. my friend had the spinach and poached eggs dish with fresh mint tea. The Shake was huge and yummy and while I waited for my food I kept seeing indulgent stacks of pancakes being whisked away. My poached eggs were oozy and perfect and the crab cakes.. well very crabby! And rich..to break it up there was water melon on the side which refreshed the palette. My friend really enjoyed hers too. I really want to come back here :( please extend your opening times!!

Poutine was decent, though some of the bites of cheese curds (not traditional squeaky curds) we're still cold through the center .. gravy mushrooms and truffle made the dish decent The burger was quality just overwhelmingly messy and fell apart prior to a few bites in. Also the menu stated briosche buns, and it was served on a sesame bun The fries were quality though be double or triple fried.. I enjoyed them. Would go back as it was recommended to me to give them another round and for more of their food offerings.

The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

I thought it was about time I got back on to the Yelp horse…read more Anyway, I never had the pleasure of trying this place when it was located in the city center. As a a treat my better half decided to treat me to dinner..fancying Mexican food he suggested Chiquitos.. I was like nope ..lets try here.. I had not realised it relocation until he said it was round the corner from him.. Stepping in, the decor was spot on. Nicely spaced out tables, perfect lighting oh and doors on the ceiling.. The background music was epic for me, full of nostalgic hits from my youth ahh. Immediately we were greeted and seated by a kind waitress who was a little too keen taking our drink order but then returned after a few minutes. For those that don't drink there is a plentiful innovate mocktail menu amongst a good selection of beer, wine and cider etc. I chose a standard pino colada which was the perfect consistency and booze balance, Himself had a standard cup of tea which was served in bone china :) The menu itself is varied too, it ranges from Mexican, Thai to Brazilian. Knowing by now not to not have eyes bigger than my belly I settled on a Seafood Stew served with rice and beans. Himself selected the beef strip burrito. The quantity of seafood in mine was plentiful. It contained fresh tasting prawns, whitefish, green lipped mussels and squid. It was similar to a Thai soup but thicker and went well with the accompaniments. He was very pleased with his burrito, I was too full to try any of his . Finally we checked out the desserts, I was slightly let down as it lacked churros :( so we passed and enjoyed a liqueur coffee instead. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty and averagely priced. The service was very attentive with friendly staff asking at the right times if everything was okay. Oh and they had lolly pops on the way out...winner.. Would I be back? Yes certainly.

I had the Hungry Gaucho which is basically a burger but that doesn't do it justice - the burger patty is topped with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, bacon and cheese and was astonishingly good. Served with fries which very nice if a little bit too salty for my taste and onion rings. Sparky went for the lamb tagine - not something we were expecting to see on the menu since someone had described the place to us as "steak and burgers". The tagine was great and the lamb practically melted in your mouth. It gets very busy here very fast, so book a table if you're coming. A little bit on the noisy side, and the drinks aren't cheap but the food is definitely worth it.

Come here during a very busy period and as I learnt first hand, everything seems to go to pot. You'll be waiting to be sat down, then you'll have to ask to be served and finally when the food comes, it isn't quite the same as before. Don't get me wrong, there are much worse places to be dining in the centre. The New Orleans atmosphere here and comfortable booth seating win my vote, and when the food is good, it's delicious, the burgers and steaks are cooked to perfection. But there have been other occasions where the steak has been sinewy and the burgers overcooked. This place needs a management overhaul.

Unfortunately, I came here on a weekend. If only I'd read Angela's review, I would never have made…read morethis gravest of errors! If there's one thing I hate, it is bad food. And I am a stickler for steak in particular. To me, a steak is not just a lump of meat. A steak is something that should be respected, revered and ultimately scoffed. When I cook a steak I make sure to let it marinate awhile in its own blood and some olive oil, with seasoning. Then I cook it, lovingly, in a pan as hot as the Sun, for the shortest time possible. Then I enjoy it. I respect the steak. The chefs at Dexters do not respect the steak. Cue a gristly sirloin and a fatty sirloin turning up at our table greasy, lukewarm and criminally overcooked. I don't understand how soooo many places get it wrong. I order it bleu. I want it bleu. Bleu does not mean well-done. Bleu means basically barely-dead. In this case I tried to send back the wayyyy well-done steaks (about £12 each) and we were told that they would charge us for the steaks we had (which we'd not even had a bite of), and the replacements. We ate our original steaks but, needless to say, it turned to ash in my mouth. The chips were OK, but chips are chips. The staff were rude and the service was literally appalling. We waited for about 15 minutes, having been told we'd "be seated in just a sec" on entering. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken. When our drinks came, I'd been given a large wine instead of a small, and the boyf's coke was flat. Our waitress was unbelieveably rude, to the very end, when we said we weren't paying for the starters on the bill....because we didn't order starters!!! In the end we had to get the manager to come over, and even then I think he thought we were pulling a fast one! Crappy steak is a crime, in my eyes. But I suppose if you fancy rude service, crappy steak, decent chips and being erroneously charged £10 more than you should, Dexter's is right up your street.

Strips, Chips n Dips are our absolute favourite, get the buffalo sauce and you won't regret it!read more

In the unit that used to be Zumar and that was going to be The Tiffin Room (not Indian Tiffin Room,…read morebut some imposter) is now a spanking new NYC-themed bar and diner. The owners (who live locally) have styled the interior to look like an eatery in one of New York's more trendier neighbourhoods, so there's no red vinyl seat covers or chrome bar stools in sight. Instead it's rather industrial-looking with exposed brick, brushed metal and wooden seating. The menu isn't that comprehensive, but focuses on key dishes such as burgers, nachos, Cuban pork sandwiches, and chicken wings. I ordered a chicken, guac and bacon burger which was larger than expected; coupled with ox cheek mac & cheese and I was totally stuffed afterwards. Behind the bar they have five choices of keg beers, with the likes of BrewDog and Magic Rock (it's always good to get those on tap). It's schooners here though, so no pints unfortunately. On first impressions it's a solid, well thought out family-friendly diner - may they beckon in Sale's long overdue restaurant renaissance!

Greeted by a nice lady we were seated immediately...this place offers a menu like Burger King except with ribs and sweet potato fries. The waiter Jonny was lovely and enthusiastic , however I felt he was being like this to compensate for what was to come next.. For starters we munched on some mozerilla dippers definitely from Iceland...tasty but not made from scratch... For the mains..wow...I'm.glad I chose to swap the rice for sweet potato fries! These were good..but my quesadilla brought tears to my eyes...and not tears of joy....this was a deconstructed greasy samosa.. Not pleasant at all...expect I was so hungry..i ate what I could...my friend had the burger...which looked pitiful. I would have taken a picture but my camera could not take it any more! The cocktails were average, you could choose a small or large costing up to £9.50..I probably enjoyed the glace cherry more... Overall, service was fantastic however the food seems to worsen every time I go to a TGI's. The drinks are overly expensive, and the food is expensive for essentially poor quality fast food. As for cocktails they are as tacky as the decor...if you come to the Trafford Centre go to the Thai Chow Pryer instead... This place does not cook things from fresh..definitely a place for mums that shop at Iceland but can't be bothered to go home and unpack their shopping.

TGI Fridays is one of those places that I only seem to go if I'm really trying not to have anything…read moretoo bad to eat. This is always a huge mistake, as the only thing that they seem to do is huge portions of food that, if there was any justice in the world, could give you a heart attack just by looking at it! Given that they are all the same, the TGIs in the Trafford Centre is absolutely no exception to this. In addition to the huge portions, the restaurant is pretty big too, with a couple of floors and loads of seating. The walls are plastered with all kinds of memorabilia, film and otherwise. I was quite happy to see the Boba Fett helmet on the wall, and they also have a life size astronaut! Now, onto the important stuff. As I mentioned, the portions are huge, and they generally all come with fries, although the TGI website does helpfully point out that they will swap these out for salad if you ask - not something that they readily advertise once you're there. That said, a small concession like a salad probably won't do you much good when faced with a behemoth of a steak (char-grilled of course), or a burger that's easily the size of your stomach, if not your face. There are the regular items of American fayre that you'd expect; burgers, fried chicken and steak all feature heavily, but there are other options. There's a tapas-y twist to some of the smaller dishes, with a deal on for 3 or 5. Picking up three would be great for one person, whilst 5 is enough for two. If you go down that road, I'd recommend the pretzels with Sam Adams cheese dip. This tastes almost exactly like warm Dairylea, but is oddly moreish - you'll hate yourself for liking it. If you go for anything meaty, you should definitely make sure that you have something with the Jack Daniels sauce or glaze. This is a smokey, sweet sauce, which has a little bit of spice to it, and doesn't really taste anything like Bourbon (which is a good thing, given that I can't stand Jack Daniels normally). You won't find it hard to come across something that you could have this with, given that you can get it on steak, chicken, prawns, and even salmon! As you would expect, at the weekends, and during the holidays, you can expect this place to be packed, with loads of kids about (it seems to be a popular place for birthdays, with no less than three renditions of the birthday song in the hour that we were there). So, don't go if you like it quiet. If you don't mind a bit of atmosphere, which I suppose you wouldn't, being in the Trafford Centre already, it's not too bad. Finally, a word on price - for what you get, this isn't the cheapest place to eat - most of the mains are in at between £10 and £20, with most hovering in the middle, but, for the occasional treat, it's not too bad. So, in summary, TGIs seems to be a great place to go if you're really in the mood for a slice of faux Americana, with a pretty decent selection of food and drink, with friendly staff and interesting things to look at if you get a bit bored of the conversations. TGIF indeed.
