The service is a bit random, but if you give someone a wave they will attend to you. You are made to feel like part of the family. It is one big open space, so it can be noisy, but this does seem to contibute to the atmosphere. Alberto is a character and little off the wall, but to eat here was a pleasure.

I went for the Big Cheese, not disappointed with the levels of cheese and also a sauce dip of cheese sauce to the side, yummy! Cajun fries didn't look at that, but were well tasty. It arrived quickly too. Definitely happy to go back and try their other burgers out!

I also think their prices are pretty reasonable for Harpenden and their Lunch specials are awesome! Pasta or pizza, with garlic bread and a soft drink for 7.99 is a pretty good deal. I also think they have the best pizza in town.

Can't fault anything food wise, even the portion size was enough to please a Texan. Service was exceptional, very attentive, hardworking and never forgetting to smile, very pleasant people. Decor looks new and modern even though the place has been going for ages, and that's the secret of their success, they have adapted very well to changing tastes and preferences. Also, we were some of the last guests there, kitchen had closed for orders, but boy were the chefs hard at work cleaning every shelf and glass. As if I needed another reason to like them.

The toppings were pretty slim as the cheese didn't hit most of the slices. They didn't apologize or try to rectify so service also a 2.
