All I wanted was chicken and waffles. I'd been reading about them a lot (okay that sounds weird --…read moreit was related to my job and not some strange, niche interest) and it brought on a huge craving. To salve this, I looked up restaurants in Leeds that might serve them -- enter Rosie's! It's good to have friends that cater to the last minute, oft-weird whims of a lady and her oral desires. (Don't be rude.) My good pal Laurie was up for the jaunt, and so we adventured across town to the Kirkstall complex that houses this joint. It's almost a fun experience. I like the bus (you can sit inside it) and I like the booths and I even like the ultra-cheesy, very-nearly-Pulp-Fiction feel of the decor. Except, once the shine has settled, you feel very much like you're in a TGIFriday type of chain. (I wasn't so keen on that.) That said, the staff were very lovely and accommodating. I loved the fries -- this sounds silly, but I really think they can be hard to master. These were every bit of your filthy, greasy-but-crispy, desire. The burger was solid. It tasted like a solid, greasy, stodgy affair, although by no means was it at Shake Shack levels of nirvana, and the like. Mac and cheese: I've had better. The chicken and waffles: so, those weren't on the menu any more. Sad! However, I asked the waitress if I could order a waffle with maple syrup to come with our mains, and good ol' L-town ordered fried chicken, and so I was able to create my own. Plan worked a treat: whilst the fried chicken was almost certainly from a packet (it did not taste/appear to be made from scratch) it absolutely scratched the itch. Chuck a couple of those b-boys on a waffle, lather it -- nay, suffocate it -- with maple syrup, and you'll get a little closer to the kind of disgraceful treats you can get across the pond. Nope, it's not authentic. But it was what I wanted! There you have it, folks. And, I'll say, of all the eateries in the complex (bar Five Guys, because BURGER HEAVEN) this one's probs tops. Enjoy!

I got mixed feelings about this place, I went with a friend of mine that she grew up in America and…read moreshe was quite specific of what she wanted to eat. So why i got mixed feelings about it? I ordered a Pug hot dog and she ordered a steak and egg. My hot dog was decent (i must say though putting the cheese between the dog and the bun was a bit weird instead of on the top) and the size was very good but my friend on the other side wasn't as lucky as me. She asked for a medium steak and got a well done with an over easy egg on top and got an over medium. The steak looked a but dehydrated and she had to ask for some lemon to give it a boost to the flavour and she made a comment as she was eating her side of corn on the cob that the corn wasn't very fresh. I'm not sure i would go back to try something else unless is FOR SCIENCE!!!!

We came in because we needed some food for our toddler son. The restaurant was empty and there was…read moreonly one employee, who took our order, cooked it and served it.

It's not a bad place when looking for a quick bite and want to avoid busy restaurants in the area.

Wythenshawe in South Manchester isn't really known as a gastronomic destination. The majority of…read morerestaurants listed for the area are take-aways and cafes, all of which I'm sure are great in their own regards, but they're all pretty similar. This is why I like The Met Stop Diner. Someone decided to take a vacant space in Wythenshawe's town centre Civic Centre shopping precinct and build an American themed diner. Something different! A new angle! When you walk in, it's nice to see that they haven't half-baked it, they've gone for the full classic American diner interior, with red, white and chrome seating, condiment baskets, and a big mural of the New York skyline on one wall. The menu does try to cater for multiple tastes, with some classic English cafe classics such as the Full English Breakfast, but they have a good selection of American breakfasts too, as well as hot dogs, burgers, deli style sandwiches, and a few house specialities. My favourite part of England meets America was that on the tables there was one of those little silver ice cream dishes, which we came to realise were specifically for putting your tea bag in after taking it out of your tea! WHY DON'T MORE PLACES DO THIS?! This is such a simple idea, but I've only seen The Met Stop Diner do it so far, and they're American themed! There were three of us on this day, and we were all ready for breakfast, and so chose the American pancake stack, the Full English Breakfast, and the American Breakfast, as well as three mugs of tea. The tea came out first which was good as we all needed a brew, but as the breakfasts were cooked fresh to order, we'd drunk our tea by the time our food came out. A pot of tea might be a better idea, but it's not very American! The Full English was a standard cafe breakfast to be honest, but still decent homely stuff. The American breakfast was so substantial that it couldn't be finished, but it was agreed that the pancakes were great, as they were also on the stack of pancakes. Very enjoyable indeed. We'll definitely pop in again when we're next in the area, as the rest of the menu looks great too! The only thing I would suggest is reprinting the menus (as they were looking a bit dog-eared), and checking the spellings (Chicago, not "Chicargo"!), but if that's really the only thing I can find to suggest as an improvement, you're definitely doing something right, Met Stop! See you again soon!

I must start by saying this isn't taking into account food, as I am yet to eat here. I stopped by…read morethe other day with a bit of time to kill until my train was due, so I grabbed a Milkshake and just relaxed here for a while. The Milkshake - Oreo of course - was brilliant. As tasty as it was unhealthy though I'd imagine from the thick rich taste, but nonetheless, amazing. The decor is great and I enjoyed sitting in for a few a people watching inside the restaurant and through the window. I really like the concept here, but reading other reviews indicates that maybe they don't use it to the full potential. I absolutely love American Diners as they take me back to my glory days in the states, so I do hope that when I come back to try the food they've made a few improvement as I would love this to become my new spot when I need my Yank-fix.

I popped back last week to try them out at lunch time and to see if it was as much fun as the launch night. I ordered a red pepper houmous, avocado and montaray jack cheese toasted sandwich, or 'grilled cheese' sandwich as the americans would call it. It wasn't as cheesy as I had expected, maybe my mind has been warped by that of Northern Soul Grilled Cheese, just around the corner. My friends ordered a hot dog and a burger, both of which were good. I like this place, and will be back to try their American breakfasts, but compared to so many other eateries in Manchester and in the NQ it just wasn't as great as the hype. But, still worth going!

This revolting establishment refused to let me use the disgusting toilets when I was clearly…read morepregnant and in desperate need when the services toilets nearby were out of order.

It also looked so unhygienic I would never had tried to go to toilet let alone eat there unless I was pregnant- I am in shock at the appalling and totally unnecessary treatment from a fellow woman. Shame on you.

On one of my first days back in the UK after a couple years, I was part of a group that decided to…read morecheck this diner out. Just left the U.S. and already getting a taste of home. So, upon walking in, I noticed a glaring resemblance to the U.S. chain Johnny Rockets-- retro décor abounding, including a juke box and many 50s style posters adorning the walls. For burgers, the smallest size available is a 6 oz. burger which is already bigger than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder. I'm not entirely sure why they offer patty combinations up to 24 oz., but I suppose if you can dream it, you can achieve it. They're also quite expensive with the 6 oz. being £10.99 and you have to order the chips & drink separately. I was disappointed to realise the burgers don't come with cheese. The burger was quite good, thankfully. Service was almost non-existent after the food arrived, and no one came to check on us whilst we ate. Overall, the experience was just OK-- not sure if we would make a big effort to return when we can get better value elsewhere.

A well set out car park, with no litter was a good start. Inside was a bit of a revelation, exceptionally clean, with a '50s diner type design, and friendly, helpful staff. There shirts adorned with their role - manager, waiter etc., an interesting touch. A menu that was neither too short or long catered for its target audience - people on their travels included dishes like all-day breakfasts, to lasagne, scampi etc., as well a few more unusual dishes. A good range of desserts too. Prices were competitive and although we only had some toast as a snack and a coffee, the whole experience was infinitely better than in the past. This branch also sold items like Little Chef (Charlie) mugs and T-shirts, travel pillows etc. We will definitely consider stopping at a Little Chef again on our travels, the Heston Blumenthal designed menu is a definite improvement!
