Absolutely the Best Burgers you will ever taste! Always make a point of nipping in for lunch, if in Altrincham. My Sons, love them, & have even requested one be brought home to Warrington, if they know I'm nearby.....! The Staff are fantastic, & friendly. Pop in for a cheeky Flame Grilled Burger, if in Altrincham...! It would be rude not too..!

I am from Arizona, but I served a Mormon mission here back in 1980 and this was the one place that had the best burgers in the world better than any that I have in America. And so literally I’ve been coming back for 43 years to this same place and same location. Their hamburgers and onion rings are second to none. And the lady that’s been serving us has been there 27 years, that’s crazy. When we bring my kids over and grandkids this is their favorite stop, we purchase takeout and then we walk across the street to the picnic tables and enjoy the best burgers around.

The burger was very good. The fries were fully cooked, but I prefer them to be cooked a little longer, to make them a little more brown or even more crispy. The staff was friendly and the service was great. However, there are no tables to dine in. Everything is either delivered or takeout.
