Had a few issues during meal but they were dealt with and apologies given. Table we had was a little small when you have drinks, food and sides.

Great atmosphere and huge portions - be warned... go easy on the starters. Closest equivalent to an American steak restaurant that I’ve visited outside of New York. Good quality steaks and cooked properly - tender and no ‘dodgy bits’. The sides were excellent. The unlimited soft drinks bar is good for the designated driver and a good range of beers, etc. for everyone else in your party.

Even though we had booked there was a wait of 20 mins to be seated and then a further 40 ish mins for the food to come. My steak was delicious but my partners was slightly fatty. Service was very friendly

Unlimited wings were amazing. 12 per platter and we had 2 lots for £21.99. Amazing quality and flavour. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Northampton and now I have converted another friend.

Great quality food, good atmosphere and the Coke machine is great fun. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it. One of the best restaurants in Northampton

Ordered drinks that after 20 mins still hadnt arrived, repeatedly had to ask for them to actually get them. Steaks were expensive, not cooked to how asked and were also really tough. Luke Headrun

Food lovely, waitresses helpful, but took about 20 mins to order a first drink !! I appreciate they were busy, but a drink would have made the wait more acceptable

Food was amazing. Staff were friendly. After we finished our main meal we were left sitting there for about half an hour with no drinks, no offer for desert, no one came to check on us. It wasn’t busy and there was staff walking about even around where we were sitting and we seemed to get totally ignored.

3 of us shared a starter for 2 ...we hadn't visited before but I knew portion sizes were generous...and I'm glad we didn't get a starter each as we all struggled to get through our Main courses....We had a bit of a wait but it does state that on the menu if it's busy it may be a while...and the waiting staff also let us know...but to be honest a breather inbetween courses is no bad thing.Food is plentiful, flavoursome and filling..plenty of honest Tucker for your bucks.Atmosphere was loud and bustling.No formalities,very casual and comfortable..Just folk enjoying good food in good company.

The staff were really friendly and helpful for the indecisive. The atmospehe, decor and general vibe was great, it was a proper cool place to eat. It is a little pricey though, hence the 5 not 6.

Lovely food. Excellent service. The Wagyu steak was great. The only drawback was that the shape of the inside of the building echos sound round and so it was very noisy even though the restaurant wasn't full.

Everyone enjoyed their meals tonight. My only issue was with my Caesar salad- there was too much of one type of lettuce! Could of used different lettuces.

Great food. Great service. Lousy atmosphere. Full of drunken idiots shouting obscenities. And this was at 5:30 in the evening! Get some people on the door and don’t serve drunks.

A fantastic place. These guys really know their meat. Great food cooked with care and passion. Massive portion sizes. It does pay to book especially at the weekend. A good restaurant is a busy restaurant!
