This time last year, there wasn't even a building standing here! Coast To Coast is the newest…read moreaddition to Bolton's Middlebrook Retail Park, and has had the good fortune of having a unit built especially for them between Pizza Hut and McDonalds, where there was formerly some parking that wasn't used very much. As you approach the restaurant, it's nice to see that they have a stylish and pleasant outdoor seating area which I can see being popular in summer. A nice touch is that the pots on the tables are actually fresh rosemary plants which smell great. When you walk into the restaurant itself, it definitely has a "wow" factor. It's very stylishly decorated in dark woods, padding, and with theatrical lighting and spotlights to give it a nicer atmosphere, very much in a New York Loft style. The decoration is very focussed on its American theming, with wall boxes containing artifacts and pictures of different US States. Even the toilets are bright, stylish, and pleasant. The seating is split into different areas and a bar area, there are standard tables, tall tables, and cosy booths, all padded in blacks, deep blues, and reds. The condiments on the table tell you ahead of time that you're in for a good quality trip. High quality vinegar, Tabasco, and Budweiser BBQ Sauce (delicious!) with tactile salt and pepper shakers have you ready for the experience. The menu is extensive, expensive, and very tempting! I say expensive, as it's a bit more than the average cost in the area, (their cheapest burger is £10.45), but they have some really good weekday lunch offers where you can really get a good deal compared to the main evening menu. Our server was a pleasant guy called Joel who told us about the specials, things not available, and his personal recommendations. He was friendly and professional through our visit, attempting to up-sell a few times (sides, desserts etc) but without being obnoxious or pushy about it. We ordered from the lunch menu, and chose to start with the loaded skins and the battered mushrooms. These didn't take long to arrive, and were absolutely superb. The battered mushrooms weren't little button mushrooms like the usual offerings, but big mushrooms, in a perfectly crispy batter! The potato skins were loaded with cheese and BBQ Pulled Pork, which was mind blowing! I've not had pulled pork in a loaded skin before, and the flavour and texture was sublime. I didn't even need to touch that mayonnaise! It's a nice point to notice that the dishes are prepared so their logo is at the top of the plate, and facing the customer, almost like a piece of artwork. For our mains we went for the classic cheeseburger and the southern fried chicken burger. Once again, these were nicely presented. We both chose different fries as our accompaniments. The normal fries were nice but nothing amazing, however the sweet potato fries were crispy, delicious, and morish! I'd definitely get those next time! The cheeseburger was juicy and meaty, and perfectly cooked. The southern fried chicken burger had the most perfect crunch, and was seasoned just right without turning into the pepper-fest that so many chicken dishes fall into. We didn't order dessert (we were stuffed!), but Joel told us about how his favourite dessert was the warm fudge brownie, (complete with "mmm! nom nom nom!" after describing it). The food was very good, particularly given the lunchtime price. I'm not sure I'd be as happy with the price if it was the full evening cost, but as somewhere to come for a special occasion now and then, Coast To Coast delivers, even if it's not somewhere you'd go as often as some of the other cheaper chain restaurant options on the leisure park. However, I can see those other restaurants quaking in their boots a bit, as Coast To Coast is doing what they're doing, but better, and may steal their customers! The service is really superb, from the host greeting you at the door, to the server, and even the folks bringing the food out to your table if your server is busy. We felt taken care of, and looked after. It didn't feel like we were just another bill, and we didn't have to crane ourselves about looking for staff. I'd dine here again. It'd be great for a birthday or anniversary visit. There's much more I'd like to try from that menu! I have my eye on the sliders...

Quick stop for food before heading off on the long drive home…read more There are loads of eateries in this leisure park, after having an initial look around this one drew our attention, easy to park at, inviting exterior and well lit On entering we were almost immediately seated by a the lovely hostess, very polite and smiling. I liked the decor of the interior, there was a lot of booth style seating which made it feel very luxurious and private from other diners We were promptly given the menus and asked for drinks again by a gentleman who was very welcoming and helpful That's the reason they get the two stars so far...... Cause after this .... Nothing was that great The food took a lot longer than expected to come out, over 30 mins from ordering, looking around the place wasn't even 1/4 full, this made us wonder how they coped on the busier nights We spotted our food on the hot plate and it sat there for some time before we finally had it served, I guess this was why we got warm food instead of hot food The food itself was very blahhh What I mean by that is .... I ordered a burger and chips and the burger was quite small in the bun, no real flavour and each bite was rather bland, even the presentation was boring and lacked any appeal. Buffalo boneless chicken had plenty of sauce and I'm glad as the chicken itself was very dry Onion rings tasted like week old dirt oil leaving them quite greasy. The hot and spicy calzone was neither hot nor spicy The food was very underwhelming and frankly disappointing From a place that visually appeals up until the plates are placed in front of you

My experiences at this restaurant have never been disappointing; maybe that's because I seldom go at peak times and I tend to usually order my favourite dishes. Any meal with fall-off-the-bone saucy, meaty and juicy ribs does it for me; absolutely divine and you must try them if you haven't already. If you are unsure where to go to eat whether or not you're alone, Uncle Sam's is a definite recommendation - there is a choice of food that would suit everyone including kids menus plus they serve breakfast all day! Their portions are also liberal and prices are more than reasonable. Uncle Sam's is simple in design both from the outside and the inside, not to be underestimated for its quality and fine service.

I'm late to the party with this one, I know. There's a lot of Italian restaurants around Bolton and…read moreit was hard not to think "oh, another Italian restaurant". But this is where Lucianos is different. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is that the staff are talking to each other in Italian... that's a good sign in a true Italian restaurant! It's decorated in a bright and modern contemporary style, showing modern Italian dining rather than the old fashioned 'Ristorante' style we often have over here with candle-filled Chianti bottles, faux grape vines and nick nacks all over the place. A couple of trendy Vespas are found on the way in, with a dining area to the left, and a modern bar area to the right, making it clear this is a modern venue, not another cheesy Italian themed restaurant. Despite not having a reservation, we are welcomed warmly, and shown to a pleasant table where we are given our menus by a charismatic manager / maitre'd, who seems very much at home in that role, and has fine tuned his patter; he asks if we'd like any wine by the bottle, but we were only having soft drinks, so he took the glasses away with the quip, "less mess for me!", I also like that when we were browsing the dessert menu later on, he chimed in, "Remember, signori, I will never let you struggle... all desserts come with a third spoon for me". I like this. You don't get the bon viveur style head waiter so much these days, and it's nice when you find it, and it seems genuine and warm hearted. For our starter we order Budino Nero, which is black pudding served with sweet peppers, chorizo and red wine reduction, served with crostini bread, and the Terrina a modo nostro, a duck and chicken liver pate, finished with aged brandy and port. Served with cranberry compot and crostini. Before too long our starters arrive, and are beautifully presented. The lighting in this venue really shows off the food well. The pate was delicious and fresh with a little salad, and the black pudding starter was simply beautiful. It was meaty but with a red wine reduction which was deliciously sweet, and worked well in contrast with the meaty flavours and richness of the chorizo. I was so impressed with it that I asked one of the wait staff if they could find out what the sauce was for me. Marvellous! We were so impressed with the starters that we were salivating at the idea of our mains! Main courses took a little longer to arrive, but the venue was starting to get busy, so it's not surprising, plus frankly I'm happy to wait longer for good quality food cooked fresh to order. We ordered the tagliatelle carbonara speciale, and my partner decided to try something new, and opted to try the Ravioli All'Argosta, which is egg ravioli filled with lobster in a lobster and tomato bisque. The carbonara was presented as well as it can be, and I took the offer of fresh parmesan topping. The flavours were excellent, and it was wonderfully creamy and filling! The lobster ravioli looked... well... there's probably not many ways you can make it look good on a plate given the nature of it as a dish... but it was there on the plate... and was very tasty with a distinct flavour without being overbearing. The quality of the fresh pasta was superb too! So our starters and main courses were both excellent, two thumbs up! We were enjoying relaxing in the atmosphere of the place too, so the wait didn't feel too bad. We were very full, but decided we simply had to try some of the desserts... you know, to properly finish off! I ordered one of the home-made caramel cheesecakes, and my partner ordered the canolo (tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing ricotta... a bit like a brandy snap). The cheesecake was tasty but a lot softer than I was expecting, probably as I've become more used to American style baked cheesecakes. The slice was a bit on the thin side, but the flavour was good, and wonderfully creamy. The canolo was also a little bit of a small portion. Admittedly it was listed as "canolo" (one) rather than "canoli" (multiple), but this one little canolo looked a bit lonely on a huge plate with a dusting of icing sugar over it. I think as a portion perhaps three of them would be a better portion and look better, but again the flavours and textures were excellent and couldn't be faulted. Delicious! By now it was getting very busy, and we had trouble getting the attention of any of the staff to be able to ask for our bill, so I had to go to the main counter and ask the manager, but he was very friendly and gracious and brought the bill over straight away. All in all, we were very very pleasantly pleased with Lucianos on what was a simple spur of the moment visit. The quality of the ingredients, the style of the setting and decor, and the professionalism of the staff really made this an enjoyable visit, and we will most definitely be returning! Buonisimo!

This left us feeling a little disappointed initially but not after we had eaten our food. There was a wide selection of dishes beyond pizza and we were all very happy with our choices.

We thoroughly enjoyed our range of pastas and risottos and will definitely go back one evening to try the main course meat dishes and hopefully garlic bread!

This branch of Five Guys on Queens Square is one of two branches Five Guys have in the city, from…read morethe outside you can see it looks both bigger and better than the other branch on the top floor of the Liverpool One nearby, Having wanted to revisit Five Guys for a while after a good experience in Bradford and a not so good experience in Manchester, I thought this branch of Five Guys would be a good shout - and I'm glad I did. The service here was fantastic, to the point where I feel extra and special praise has to go to Gary for making my visit even more special, he made sure I was okay, helping with tables and even bringing my food over to me and providing me with a new bag and cutterly to take home my leftovers (the portion sizes here are huge!), he also helped offer recommendations and we began to chat a little, overall service was excellent. When ordering, I was also presented with a little piece of card to show what I could eat, and it seemed to include everything other than an HP sauce and of course the burger bun. The overall feel of the store was good, it had traditional Five Guys decor with the signs and bags of potatoes on the shop floor, but inside it did seem much nicer than the Manchester Arndale and Bradford branches I've previously visited. I ordered a Cheeseburger in a bowl, having disliked the lettuce wrap option as it seemed like it would be messy and make the burger cold, and the regular option with a bun wouldn't be suitable for me, the bowl did seem a little squashed and messy with a low of toppings, however, like all the cups/cutterly etc it was aimed towards takeout. The extras I ordered were: ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, gherkins, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms, in my opinion, it was slightly messy but still most of it was good quality, other than the lettuce I found to be a little watery and the mushrooms a little slimy. My overall burger quality was good, although it could have been slightly presented better to avoid the cheese being slightly uneven, the portion size as mentioned was good with two thinner burgers rather than one big thick one, which some burger joints such as GBK use, I prefer the Five Guys approach. The fries also were great, despite ordering a small portion my bag was overflowing with fries, the cajun spices also added a nice flavour to it to make them even better, rather than the traditional seasoning used. The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine also is a pretty awesome, niche feature combining some of the most common Coca-Cola drinks from Coke (including all low sugar models) to Sprite to Fuze Tea, with my favourite fizzy drink being Sprite Zero, I combined this with vanilla to have an enjoyable beverage, I then combined vanilla with the fuze tea and also had a nice drink - for one cup it comes with free refills and with the quality of drinks on offer and the selection meaning you virtually can't get these drinks in any other stores or places, it is well worth buying a drink, and that comes from someone who generally prefers dining with tap water. Prices were slightly higher than you'd expect at Mcdonald's, and on par for a standard burger, my food came to around £11 but for the quality you don't mind paying those prices, this place is more of a fast-food restaurant than a casual or regular dining restaurant, although it does have quite a lot of seating due to the size of the store being large, slightly similar to what one would expect in an American diner, with tall tables, bar style tables and red booths. Five Guys also delivers via Deliveroo, however I find this service to be a tad overpriced compared to the general in-store experience, although out of all the restaurants on the site from Nandos to Pizza Express, I feel one of the few places actually suited to Deliveroo is Five Guys, so it is a good service to offer here, although the only time I'd ever think of using it would be when I'm staying in a hotel in Liverpool, not being from the area, and even then I'd be reluctant due to the delivery charge even to go such a short distance, for example they'd even charge the £2.50 or so delivery fee to go a short distance, although I admit this is not something Five Guys have control over with this being set by Deliveroo but it is still worth making note of. Overall, I am impressed with Five Guys, although it remains a real shame that unlike some "restaurants" which specialise in burgers including Handmade Burger Co and Gourmet Burger Kitchen, the latter actually has a branch in Liverpool's city centre in the One, the burger quality remains better and the same can be said about the service and the overall feel of this place, so despite flaws mentioned, the quality of food and service and the portion sizes (you probably get as many chips here as a large somewhere else) a four-star rating is surely warranted for Five Guys at Queens Square in Liverpool.
