Had chicken tacos from their street food menu and it actually tasted like street food that you would get at a cool restaurant in London or Berlin, not the reheated fast food street food you normally get on the island. The chicken was fresh and the flavor was interesting and great. It also came with a nice combination of four salads (including tomato and mozzarella and a cous cous salad). Finally, rather than throwing chips at you, it included some beautiful sauteed potatoes. Overall, a great lunch.

I had the pickled burger, a burger with pickled onions and gherkins. Square patty that was particularly tasty. It was thin and got dried out when cooked. The bun was a nice real roll, not a cheap burger bun. Onion rings were the highlight of the meal. Good and not greasy. Side salad disappointing, small and just some lettuce. Enjoyed the place, a good lunch and not too formal.

The best of the best is a high honor to achieve in Brian's burger world. I visited on a Sunday late afternoon. The sunday after Pride Day. It was quiet, and there were many open tables. The servers were both really nice, and the food was cooked perfectly and delivered swiftly. I can't say specifically why I can't give it a 5/5; my burger standards are high. It was right up there knocking on the door to a perfect score. To each their own, but it *just* missed the mark.

Ordered a double cheeseburger, and hand cut fries, with mayo, mustard, and onions. Honestly, I would put this burger up against anything I've had in the States. Cooked perfectly, cheese melted well, and just delicious. The hand cut fries were very good as well. I know Five Guys has invaded Belfast, but Bunsen cooks!

I have to agree with another review that, based on the hype I read about online, I was pretty…read moreunderwhelmed with this burger. The flavor and the char on the meat is kinda nice, but the meat is cooked to hell and dry as a desert... that's desert, not dessert. The sauce had to do that work, and even with 'extra sauce' requested, it was not enough make up for the dry burger. Staff is friendly, but to my palette, the food was barely acceptable and reminiscent of the pre foil-wrapped burgers you get at a hospital or school cafeteria. There's a time and place for that type of burger, but not at these prices.

My son had a burger which he liked and a chocolate chip milkshake (which anyone would like). My daughter had a smoothy that she raved about.

The decor is really modern with lots of cows and chickens etc dotted around to add to the theme. They have booth areas and normal tables to choose from and even have a lil kiddy section with some toys, games and colouring in books. It would be great for birthday parties or family catchups. The menu is as expected beef and chicken mostly but they do also have veggie options. We went for the burger deal for two and it was extremely good value for money at £20 for two burgers, chips and a drink each. The chips are proper thick chips and not fries. The burgers were proper thick handmade beef burgers topped with two buttermilk chicken goujons, tobacco onions, choice of salad and snuggled inside a toasted brioche bun. They were huge and really really filling. Theres so many restaurants now in the leisure park but this one will have no problem competing with the others.

Very disappointed. Nothing like Del Toro, it's partner restaurant…read more Despite the name, this restaurant is certainly no specialist chicken or Steak House. Not a grill in sight. I had the 10oz steak, my wife had chicken, two kids had steak sandwiches and our toddler had sausages and mash. The steak was tasteless, over-cooked and had no sign of any seasoning. Bland to say the least. My wife's chicken was also lack-lustre and greasy. The toddlers sausages were cheap, deep-fried rubbish - a chip van would offer better quality. On the whole, cheap ingredients with no love shown in the kitchen. Staff were courteous and friendly. Clearly lacked any real training. No mention of any specials, tried to take our order as soon as we sat down and returned to the table on three separate occasions to take our plates whilst the kids were still eating. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend.

Trying to work out what I liked better, the service or the food?! It's a tough call…read more Let me talk you through it. I walked up the dark stairs to be greeted by one of the most friendly waitresses you are ever likely to meet. She sat me at a table of four even though I was on my own which made me feel less of a loser. I sat down and browsed the menu made up of various burgers. I was going to go for the double cheese burger when the waitress came over and showed me their offer. A double cheese burger, fries and a drink for £8! Unreal! I obviously went for that deal, helpfully guided by the waitress. The food took about 10 minutes to come, the chips were served on a tray and the burger dame covered in foil. Packed lunch style! The chips were deep fried but still had a potatoey consistency. The burger was American style just the way I like it. A soft bun and a tender burger patty with plenty of fresh salad. Incredible! The decor is dive style! Think graffiti! They have an alcohol licence too so if you fancy a beer and burger knock yourself out! Easy five stars, for service alone. This is my kind of place, can't wait to go back with some company!

Second trip here, felt I should give it a chance again since the first time I went it was just…read moreafter it had opened. I sort of found it strange that this place opened around the time that Five Guys appeared in Victoria Square, given that it has basically the exact same menu as Five Guys, with the exact same idea of it being a sort of "build your own" with as many toppings as you want. Kind of felt like they were trying to ride the coat-tails of Five Guys, but unfortunately they don't seem to be doing a very good job of it. It has the same high price as Five Guys (for 2 people, one having a double burger with bacon, the other having a single burger with cheese, some angry fries to share and two milkshakes, it was £24), but unfortunately it doesn't quite have as much of an appeal in terms of the quality of the food. The burgers are quite dry, they're extremely messy, which isn't a great thing if you're trying not to spill it all over yourself, the redeemer is the crack sauce which is pretty great. The fries are strange, they're the same quality as you would get from a good chip shop, but I don't think they goes very well with the whole American restaurant aesthetic they're going for. Really, if you're wanting to support local, eat here. If you're wanting to have something a bit more put together but for the exact same price, go eat at Five Guys.

If you are not addicted to NOA bread by the time you write this review then I don't know what to…read moresay. It's the best bread ever, soft and delicious, today we had it at home with melted butter and beans. NOA is not just a bakery, they make their own coffee and beer and it's all under one roof. Ta Da! something for everyone. We snagged the last almond croissant yesterday and it was unbelievable. Pablo had a coffee and a Troglodyte mild chaser and it was good. All this at just the beginning of the day. Service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was top notch, likely the most bougie on the island and let's face it old world charm is good and great but sometimes you just want a preppy/techy vibe. Across from the ferry terminal and a good place to work or lollygag.

Noa has got a super chilled out vibe and wouldn't be out of place in either Manchester's NQ or London's Shoreditch with its laid back staff and mismatched furniture. The clientele is much more varied however, with young hipster types, families with kids and 30 something young professionals all happily rubbing shoulders. Like the best coffee shops in the NQ and Shoreditch, Noa takes their coffee seriously and every time I've been in there my favoured cappuccino has been excellent with even my husband, notoriously picky about the standard of his flat whites, leaving more than happy. Food wise Noa offer a selection of tasty looking cakes as well as a short daily changing savoury menu with things such as soup, salad and sandwiches on it, all of which offer variety a bit different from your bog standard cheese and ham sarnie etc. Last time we were in I had the 'Bugsy' salad, which although was extremely virtuous being full of veggies, seeds and houmous, was fresh and really tasty. My only negative is that I found it a bit pricey at around the £6 mark when it was pre-prepped in the fridge and presented in a plastic cup, more like a takeaway option. Call me fickle but I'd have been more than happy to have paid this if it had been presented on a proper plate and even better if they'd added on a chunk of their lovely bread (Note, the photo I added of it was after I grabbed a plate and pinched a couple of pieces of my husband's bread!) Speaking of which, don't forget to pick up a loaf or two of their fantastic in-house baked sourdough if you're visiting. Although be warned, pair it with some luscious salty butter and you'll more than likely demolish it within the day!
