    Soda machine is the bomb!!! So many flavours!Have you ever tried orange, raspberry coke?! and it's unlimited for 2,5 quid.. Also get small fries they are HUGE and small burger is actually pretty big

    Authentic American burger joint. Little means normal sized, regular means double meat. Cajun fries = super spicy. As many free toppings & drink refills as your tummy can cope with. All tasty!

    Web ordering works well, ordered on the bus on the way into town. Food ready to collect bang on time with no queuing. Great burgers if a little pricey, little fries more than enough for 2 to share.

    This place actually feels like an American burger place - unlike Ed's! There's way more seating at the back, past the place where you wait for your food. Get small fries - medium are huge.

    Best burgers ever. Always take visiting friends here, and they are never disappointed. Recently had some friends from Sweden over, who thought the burgers were so good it was almost "scary" :P

    When you get your bag take out the burger and fry cup, then tear the bag front in half and lay it flat and you have a nice surface to vinegar your fries with the bag fries already on it.

    Skip McDonalds or BK! A bit pricey (let's be honest) but amazing portions and awesome burgers. Definitely worth it! A bit of USA in the Oracle. I recommend.

    The burgers are great and the chips are good too but at £14.50 for a burger, small chips and a small (refillable) drink, it's a bit pricey.

    Regular fries is more than enough to share between two. Amazing American style food, just make sure you're hungry!

    The burgers are great and the fries are like no other! The choice of over 100 drinks is just astonishing!

    Just pure and simple... Amazing. Approach it as a property meal out (that's how much it'll cost) and it is still worth every penny!

    "Little fries" - yeah the stuff in the bag could fill another cup, and that's all from the same portion. They are generous here ;)

    Excellent burgers and loads of freshly cut chips. The Coca Cola machine has loads of flavours.

    A regular portion of fries is more than enough for one person. Large portions are more than enough for two!

    Food was average, portions are very big. Totally overpriced for what it is! £25 for a quick lunch for two! Never again.

    Tasteless burgers, fries over done, staff shouty and more interested in chatting to each other
