Reviews in South Shields

We went there for Sunday lunch, and all agreed it was absolutely delicious! We had the feather blade beef, and can honestly say it was the best ever. So much so that we all went back the next day to sample other lunchtime options, and we certainly weren't disappointed. I can thoroughly recommend the Harbour Lights for excellent food, and very competitive prices.

Great food, served by lovely staff in a family friendly atmosphere. I love the Harbour Lights. There is a fantastic choice on the menu, enough to suit all tastes. The sweets are gorgeous & I love their pinacolada flavoured coffee. So far I've sampled the Roast turkey, featherblade beef, & pork loin. All of them are succulent, tasy & melt in the mouth. Portions are massive. Yorkshire puds huge. Recommend their sticky toffee pud too. You won't be disappointed when you dine at the Harbour lights. Go on, treat yourselves!

Always a warm welcome at the Harbour Lights! Great venue for breakfast, lunch or dinner as the menu has so much to offer. Very well presented food at great prices. Dog friendly too. Highly recommended.

Came for a date on Friday night - Served by Will who was lovely and helpful even though it was fairly busy! Food was delicious and enjoyed a game of pool and a few games of darts. Will definitely come again.

Arrived with family of 6 for steak night and the food as usual was outstanding. Really cannot fault the harbour lights for quality, quantity and value. 4 steaks and 2 burgers and everyone was delighted with their meals, thank you harbour lights 10/10 again and superb staff.

Love coming here for food. Everything is fresh, full of flavour and the portions are massive! The staff are amazing, so friendly, always happy to help. Would recommend this place to everyone. My only suggestion would be to have a bit of music playing in the background. Nothing too loud, but I think it would complete the setting.

As always great meal served by great staff. Great value and good quality. Very friendly atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend

Lovely location overlooking the Tyne, food was excellent, staff friendly and efficient. Well worth the money huge portions.

My favourite restaurants in South Shields. I visited yesterday with a friend and once again had a faultless, delicious meal. They have an amazing, extensive main and dessert menu to suit all tastes. The cosy atmosphere and excellent staff make it a pleasure to eat there. Highly, highly recommended

Once again the food and the service were excellent. Thank you to the staff . We will be revisiting soon.

What a wonderful venue for breakfast! Very friendly welcome by very attentive staff. Great breakfast options on the menu all at great prices too. The belly buster certainly lived up to its name…. perfectly cooked and a tasty treat to start the day. Highly recommended!

A wonderful evening meal from the special 2 for £20 Monday evening deal. First class dining in a friendly atmosphere with fantastic views! The Steak pie was delicious… brim full of huge steak piece…Unbelievable! The chicken kiev was beautifully cooked and again, a huge piece of chicken. Both included side dishes and tasty chunky chips! The staff are always so attentive and friendly and such a credit to the Harbour Lights. Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Came for Mother's day lunch on Sunday - had booked a table in advance but was told on arrival the table had been taken by someone else!! We were then sat on two tables pushed together behind the bar- not very comfortable and the music was so loud I couldn’t have a conversation with the person sat next to me!! Very excited to try the Porchetta after seeing photos and reviews on Facebook unfortunately the meat that was served to me was 1 slice of razor thin pork - not sure about the stuffing it was supposed to have as the whole meal was completely swimming in gravy and certainly had no crispy crackling, the Leek gratin was dried out and the whole plate had a crusty outline where it had obviously been sat under a hot plate! I would have sent it back for a different meal - however no staff to be found until they came back to clear the plates!! Most disappointing meal and will unfortunately not be returning.

Sunday lunch on Mothers Day extremely disappointed! Porcetta shown on social media couldn’t be further from the dish brought out to me and my family! What can only be described as razor thin slice of fatty meat so thin it was see through and not a hint of cracking to be seen. I understand the staff were busy and they work hard although the lack of customer service did not help our situation and we left disappointed never to return. We were sat in back of the building with zero ambience and music blasting next to our table we couldn’t even hear each other. Don’t believe the hype of socials

Love this place! Has a great comfortable feel about it, with attentive friendly staff, efficient service & lovely food. Be sure you're hungry as the portion size is generous. We'll be back

Great food and excellent service by the young staff, my parents, myself and young daughter really were looked after. I had the meatballs in the dough bowl which were very nice

Atmosphere and service lovely. Paid £22 for a meat platter which was all dry, over cooked and struggle to eat.
