Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Ma Egertons was the perfect choice for a pre-theatre meal to kick off my mum’s 85th birthday celebrations. Located right behind the Empire Theatre, this historic Liverpool pub is bursting with theatrical character, vintage charm, and nostalgic warmth. The absolute highlight was their spectacular, authentic bowl of traditional Scouse. It is a rich, deeply savoury stew served with proper crusty bread and pickled red cabbage at a great price. My mum absolutely loves it and declares it the best in Liverpool—her seal of approval is not easily won! The staff are all exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm-hearted. If you want an authentic taste of Liverpool, brilliant comfort food, and a warm welcome before a show, this legendary pub is an absolute must-visit. We will 100% be back!

We were there to celebrate our anniversary, but we didn’t really like the atmosphere, we were put on a table for two ( had to move (air conditioning ) only moved to next table up the tables were too close together, our meal came quite quickly but they brought out our main course but we hadn’t finished our mazes

Food was very nice, quite a small menu which I liked. Had the fried courgette starter which was delicious and the mixed kebab. My only fault was that the main courses didn’t come with a side, I felt £16.50 was more than enough to allow for some fries/salad/pita to be served alongside as part of the price, instead of having to pay an additional £5 for some new potatoes. Food was tasty and hot. Staff were great.

Great home cooked food, friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Really good value for money. Scouse is so delicious

We enjoyed 2 tasty pizzas pre theatre show. Good value, tasty and good service

1st time we visited, restaurant was full with a fabulous atmosphere. Staff where very attentive, made sure we had drinks before taking our food order. The owner introduced himself to us which was lovely and asked on numerous occasions if all was ok. The best part was the food, it was absolutely Gorgeous couldn't fault anything. Definitely recommend you visited you wont be disappointed. Will for sure return some time soon.

Lovely food and very reasonable. Service was very quick and staff lovely. Only slight negative was the tables being so close together. Felt like we were dining with table next to us too. Fortunately they were lovely.

We ate on a Friday night, it was busy when we arrived though we had pre booked. The mains course took 45 minutes after the starter and wasn't as good as previously. It felt that we were an oversight.

YUMMY YUMMY LOVED THE FACT THE MANAGER CAME ROUND TO EACH TABLE AND ASKED IF WE WERE ENJOYING THE FOOD

Lovely meal great atmosphere. Bit of a wait between starters and mains nit nothing major

We attended the restaurant on Saturday 11th July & there was 9 of us in our party & a small baby, we were greeted with the upmost respect & shown to our table, the service was outstanding & the food was amazing would highly recommend a meal here anytime , we will definitely be returning on a regular basis

We didn’t eat there last night. We were extremely disappointed with service we recieved. I had looked on the website at table status and it showed full availability across a range of times so owe didn’t book. When we arrived the waiter said sorry no availability. We left the restaurant and I looked at website and full availability was shown. I booked a table and went back in to be told it was full. I explained that I had been able to make a booking and wasn’t really given a satisfactory answer so I left. We won’t be back in for a while

First class food had maza. Service excellent .. Had air conditioning fantastic . Only criticism food was served to fast. Would have enjoyed food more if we could have taken more time over each course. We also had musaka the best I have ever tasted. Felt rushed the food was so good it needs to be savoured would I go again yes. Was only in restaurant for one hour.

Lovely food so well cooked! Service was good and decor and atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable

What a great restaurant! Gorgeous food with amazing staff and beautiful surroundings, what more could you ask for! Can’t wait to come back and we will be regulars for sure

Christaki's Meze was incredible. The Lamb Souvlaki was 110% flavour and so soft. Couldn't finish the food we were given and that is a first for me. Absolutely lovely staff, too. It was busy and a really nice atmosphere. Price very reasonable I thought.

Lovely staff and lovely food!
