Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Visited Meherin last night and was blown away by the quality ,choice and service. This is a gem of a restaurant. Many items on the menu I've never heard of before and staff only too willing to advise you on the dishes. And they do take aways! Can highly recommend, and can't wait to go again.

great chip shop, food was very well prepared and i would love to revisit this place with a lovely man.

Excellent food, great service and a good price. Chef's specials are superb. Highly recommended

Don't bother!

Friendly chinese restaurant in the heart of Fleetwood. The place has a wonderful view of the Irish Sea and elegant decoration inside. 'Great Wall' has a wide ranging menu which also includes a big selection of meals for vegetarians. The food is not greasy, it is freshly cooked and the portions are big. Special value for money are their Business Lunch (£5.50) and Sunday Lunch menus (£7.50). For this you will get a 3 course meal and tea/coffee. Waiters are helpful and friendly.

This Italian used to be on Highfield Road in South Shore and recently moved to the old Booths supermarket on Lytham Road. I was warned before I went that they had basically moved the shelves out and the tables in and not a lot else so I was expecting the worst décor-wise. It wasn’t THAT bad and in fact the spaciousness was a pleasant change from the usual high street restaurant that is squeezed into an oblong box. But it is a bit odd having bare girders on the ceiling and the kitchen and washing-up area just plopped at one end for all to see. What blew me away though was the menu. This is the kind of retro dining that used to be popular 20 years ago with dishes like prawn cocktail, chicken a la crème, tournedos rossini and steak diane (as well as pizzas/pastas etc). You just don’t see this stuff on menus any more and I honestly think they should market themselves on this basis as it does make them stand out from the crowd. The food was pretty good too and given that it was rammed on the Sunday night after Valentine’s they are clearly doing something right here. But retro, I’m afraid, is not acceptable with the wine list. I can’t remember how long it is since the last time I saw a restaurant list with no vintage year listed and no producer (just generic Cotes Du Rhone etc) and my worst fears were confirmed as the Frascati and Chianti we had were dire. But as long as you don’t go here expecting some kind of fine dining experience you may be pleasantly surprised and it is undoubtedly value for money.

I am a local in Blackpool and a regular customer of Wah Wah's. I absolutely love their fine thai cuisine, excellent value for money, relaxed atmosphere and superb customer service that all make the visit to Wah Wah's a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. A+++

I do not recommend this restaurant. Food was to a poor standard, there wasn't much of it and the selection for a vegetarian was very poor. The ambiance and the welcoming of the staff was nice shame about the food though.

It is now our fourth year coming here for birthdays and anniversaries with friends.Just as good as it was originally.Service and food excellent, ambience very comfortable,staff very obliging.

Staying in Blackpool for a few days and chose this Indian, after using this and seeing others recommendations. The 4 course set meal is now £9.99 not £8 as detailed on here but it is still great value. We had 2 children and 2 kids in our party and including 2 lots of drinks, we spent £40. We could not finish it all, so shows the great value. Staff were very friendly, though our waiters English was not the best but if you are in the Blackpool area...give this place a go.

We booked a table for two for Valentines night. When I called to book we where offered either 18:30 or 21:00. I opted for 21:00 only to turn up and join the end of a queue of about 15 people. I had to stand outside in the cold with my girlfriend. Everybody else in the queue, in front and behind, had booked for 21:00. No member of staff even came to talk to us to explain the situation. After waiting 20mins we decided to go over the road to eat in the Bay Horse pub. Funnily enough there where a number of people there whom had done exactly the same thing. I spoke to people who had booked for 20:00, only to wait 30 mins and eventually give up. It is an absolute disgrace that this happened. Greedy is all I can say about Mimmo's. They ruined Valentines night for me and many others.

We had a wonderful meal there on Valentines Day. The food was exceptional and we were very impressed with the service! (My husband is incredibly fussy and even HE didn't find fault with anything) - It was lovely to be welcomed with a glass of champagne (speciality of Valentines Day) and a friendly smile. We would recommend to anyone and will return in the future without a doubt. Congratulations on being open 2 years!!

Went to the Mayflower on Valentines evening. The food was good but the service very very poor. The food came before the plates. There was a long wait between courses. The drinks ordered were wrong. The manager was the busiest member of staff, running round like an headless chicken, unfortunately he also smelt strongly of B.O. I would not recommend the restaurant on my visit. I should have complained at the time. Other couples also looked unhappy at the service

Beautiful place to eat! Style and decor top class. Food fab! Best Indian restaurant in Blackpool.

I have to admit that Rigbys is one of the best hidden gems for good honest food. It is well priced and has a lovely atmosphere. You are made welcome from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, but be warned if you don't have a huge appetite don't have a starter before the mixed grill. It has to be tried as well as the duck which has always been cooked to perfection and served with seasonal veg and two types of potatoes. Would recommend it to everyone once you have been you cant help yourself going back again and again.

TEN OUT OFF TEN FAB CHRIOSTMAS DINNER AND GREAT COMPANY NOT FORGETING DOTS DISCO

My Wife and I had read all the great reviews on SugarVine for Buraq and had been informed by a few people locally how good it was. We use a number of Indian restaurants on the Fylde coast and on occasion, further a field, so were keen to give it a go. We decided to initially try their seemingly excellent deal of "£9.95 Eat as much as you like buffet" as this is an option between 1.00pm and 6.30pm on a Sunday. We were met at the door with a pleasant smiling face and showed to a seat in their fairly large waiting area near the bar. we were provided with both the standard menu and the buffet menu and asked for a drinks order straight away. Indian beer lovers should note that at the time of writing this, they serve both Cobra and Kingfisher on draft, and it is under £3 a pint - which is as cheap as most places do it in 330ml bottles. It was fairly quiet (no really a surprise for a Sunday, it's not really a traditional Sunday lunch is it), just a few other couples in, and we were shown to our table almost immediately. The surroundings were good, I would suggest the nicest Indian I have been in, and a nice view of their clean, tidy, landscaped rear garden. The linen (proper linen) was all clean and tidy, the cutlery of good quality. It appears the buffet may change weekly, as ours was headed "Week 6" and it was indeed the 6th week of the year. Our starters (you get everything on the buffet menu, you don't have to choose) were Garlick Tikka Chicken, Seekh kebab and a Samosa, served with the normal tray of pickles you would get with poppadums. We finished them in no time flat, the chicken being especially good. We were offered more, and accepted! The only minor complaint here was that the seekh kebab was almost cold, it had been perfectly cooked through and as these are like koftas, they can be served cold, I don't think it was meant to be, but it didn't mar our starters in any way, they were great. My wife also asked for a poppadom to go with the pickle tray, this did not feature on the bill at the end. Our main courses came in approximately soup sized bowls, Chilli Chicken and a Lamb Passanda, accompanied by one plate of Chicken Biriyani, which was like a spiced chicken fried pilau rice. This was a sensible addition to the courses as it negated needing a separate order of rice! The main meals were served with a side order of spiced vegetables and a garlic chapatti. We could have ordered more of any of the dishes, but certainly didn't need to after two starters. The food was excellent, my wife couldn't get enough of the passanda, but she does have a sweet tooth. We were given some mints and a choice of tea or coffee, and while waiting for the bill, we were asked what we would like as a complimentary drink on the house. I have no idea if this is standard practice for every customer (though I note that it has been mentioned on sugarvine previously), just on your first visit maybe, or if it happens every time - nonetheless, it was a nice and welcome touch, as was the carafe of iced water on the table without request. This was certainly the best quality of food and best service I have had in any Indian restaurant in probably 20 years of going to them. We can both thoroughly recommend Buraq. I mentioned earlier that an Indian meal is not a traditional Sunday Lunch in the UK, well with quality, quantity and value for money that Buraq offers, it may well become one! (at least for us!). Full marks 10/10!

I would highly recommend the food here. I travel Thailand and this is as close to authentic as you could wish for (and the portions are more than generous). Other Thai restaurants in town are charging inflated prices, but not here. Lovely food at the right price, thanks
