We all loved it, one adult and four teenagers. A great family meal and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere and the teenagers would definitely like to return. The bbq ribs were a big hit as were the burgers.

We Had the best time at damn Yankee, the waiter, Ben, was amazing he gave us the best customer service, cjrcled how our food was for us and even boxed up our left overs for us. Also compliments to Sol the chef, best food we have tasted in a while. Was worth the money and they deserved the tip. Would definitely recommend, we will be going back again no doubt.

Bad day for the restaurant, they were having trouble back of house with the food not being up to a high quality, however the manager was always honest and up front about it and kept us informed so I believe we just caught them on the wrong day to eat!! The food looked and sounded lovely on the menu!!

Great food, great local restaurant! Amazing value for money! Highly recommended!!! Why get bland food from the chains when there's places like this, with years of experience, who know how to make burgers!

Overall the food was good and the service was ok and friendly. The atmosphere was ok but let down by the decor which perhaps needs a little updating

Uncooked cold in the middle burger and the chicken had pink veins in it not acceptable. We told the waitress about this and she said she would do it all again, at that point we really had gone off wanting to eat anything from there. The manager didn't even come and see what the problem was or apologise until my partner had a chat at the end anout gbe food.We will not be going back.

Proper American food, done right! Food was delicious, only thing I would add is that Nachos might be better served without the paper, as when the cheese cools they get stuck to the paper. Other than that, spot on!

The staff were all so welcoming and the food was absolutely amazing. It was reasonably priced and worth every penny. I loved the fact it is an open kitchen so you can see the food getting prepared.

Attentive service with really tasty burgers and cake. Only negative was how long it took to make a cocktail which was not as good as it sounded. Otherwise it was an enjoyable evening out.

Food and service good. Could do with more heating on a cold winter night....especially around tables near the windows ❄️. Drinks seem a bit pricey.

Had a great time at Damn Yankee- good, plentiful food and drinks. Service seemed to slow down as the restaurant emptied though; we had to find an elusive staff member to pay the bill.
