Went for family dinner after my husband heard an advert on the radio. Hubby had the philly cheesesteak, I had the mac n steak, we had cajun fries to share and the wee one had kids mac and cheese and a tomato soup. Food was all cooked fresh, portions were huge and it all tasted outstanding! Resturant was clean, fantastic chilled atmosphere and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Honestly felt like we were back in Florida! We all really enjoyed our night and will definitely be back!

Reviews
The menu offered a wide variety of options, catering to different tastes. Delicious food and it was a burst of flavors. Each bite was a culinary delight, and the presentation was impeccable. The main course was equally impressive.
Read on Google MapsMe and my friend ordered the Cheesesteak Hoagie and after picking our sandwiches the bread crumbled. The bread was hard and did not stay together well. The meat in the sandwich was short on flavor and disappointing for £17.50 per sandwich. My friend ate his “pile of breadcrumbs and beef” with a fork and knife I sent my sandwich back and talked to the owner and he gave us a 50% refund. The owner informed me the bread is intended to be hard because it’s healthier and vegan. I hope the owner makes the switch to fresh french bread and wish him good luck at improving the menu.
Read on Google MapsHighly recommend the shakes especially with the hot sunny weather!! Best shakes I’ve ever had, made better than what you find in America, blended with real gelato full of flavour!! I had to order three different flavours because my indecisiveness was spoilt for choice!! Brilliant shakes , brilliant food and next to the cinema, perfect for date night! Best shakes in Scotland!
Read on Google MapsPopped in today with my daughter. Easy to find and good location in city centre. Food was delicious. Prices were good. Desserts were amazing too. Service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back.
