Reviews of Dirty Bones Oxford
G. C.
I had a fantastic experience at Dirty Bones. The service was top-notch and exceptional, the waiters were very attentive and prompted us at the right time. I wish other restaurants were that good.
The food and cocktails were fantastic as well, we had: mutt’s nuts, the mac daddy and truffle fries. I highly recommend all.
Overall, this is a business very well run, and I look forward to coming here again.
M. M.
Great service and mostly great food, taking a star for a disappointing burger. BUT excellent chicken, the hot wings were a great starter and my wife loved the chicken and waffles 👌🏻 it was a birthday feast and the ambiance, service and general feel of the restaurant was a great experience all round. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.
Note: check online/call for their happy hours, 2 4 1 on cocktails is great🎉
K. L.
Decent small plate food and lovely staff. The deco in the restaurant really does make you feel like you’re in a fancy American bar. The food is good but I didn’t enjoy the cheeseburger gyoza’s however the chicken waffles were on point, each to their own.
D. “. R.
Absolutely lovely, the food was fantastic, photos don't do it justice, we had mac cheese balls, cheese fries, lamb fries, burger dumplings and the mac daddy burger. Can't falt the food, drinks were lovely too. Only reason for 4 stars was the service lacked a little... and not because it was busy, we had to ask everytime for drinks, yet staff were standing there, just be a little more attentive to customers and this could have been a 5 star winner if your reading this dirty bones! .. food is top notch otherwise.
E.
This place is great if you’re looking for a “classic” American BBQ experience. The menu has all the classics: brisket, pork and beef ribs, fried chicken and all the sides you would expect (mac ‘n’ cheese, dirty fries, etc.). They also have a wonderful range of cocktails. The quality is fantastic. The service is also en pointe. All the staff are very friendly, attentive and eager to please. The only reason for the loss of one star is due to the price. This place would be great for a few people or a group.
M. G.
Quite a nice place with a unique selection of dishes and drinks. The mac n cheese balls were not great - tasteless and overpowered by the not so pleasent ginger sauce. Apart from that service and interior was alright.
T. L.
Enjoyed a Birthday celebration there and overall it was a lovely experience. Even though there was quite a few of us to serve (over 10) the service was still very good for a weekend. The food was very tasty and affordable. Favourte restaurant in Westgate.
J. W.
Really well presented and great tasting food with some great service, welcoming and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and cocktails to choose from. Wings, ribs, burgers and lamb fries are all among the recommendations!
S. W.
Good food, had the truffle burger where you pour the truffle sauce over it. Caused a debate about whether You are supposed to pour it over the bun, or take the bun off and pour it over the filling. Asked the waiter and he reckons I did it wrong. 5 stars.
M. G.
Delicious food! The buffalo aubergine is amazing! Great vegan burgers and the fries with white truffle oil are a real hit! Lovely location and nice atmosphere.
K.
Lovely food and atmosphere. Came here for a team dinner and the place was a lot nicer than I expected. Probably somewhere where I would expect smart casual dress code.
Food was nice, we ordered some starters and for my main, I had the chicken and waffle. It didnt look much but there were 2 very large pieces of chicken thigh, the chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The waffle was really nice, very soft on the inside and was actually better than a lot of waffles I've had.
S. S.
Was pleasantly surprised; we arrived with no booking during a busy Sunday brunch period and was able to obtained a table with no delay. The service was charming, food arrived promptly and was tasty. I would recommend others to try and I would go visit again.
D. R.
Really enjoyed the food me and my partner had one each I couldn't finish the beef ribs it's alot maybe consider sharing and having a few more sides, enjoyed the salad and lamb fries I didn't expect chunks of lamb thought it might be like thinly chopped on top which would been better lovely the flavours on the fries very nice! would definitely go back. Pleasant staff and venue looks really nice inside and great music selection.
R.
I was thrilled to find a branch here as I was craving it since I last tried it in London. I absolutely love everything I have tried on the menu. My personal favourite are the hot wings for starters, chilli chicken burger 🍔 and truffle cheesy fries 🍟 on the side 💯/💯!
D. C.
We’ve been here today for the first time for my birthday and I can’t explain how good the food was. We ordered padron peppers, fried chicken and truffle fries. DELICIOUS!!! I never eat such a good chicken anywhere before and I am quite fussy with the food. The staff was very nice and friendly. Cocktails are very good too. I can’t remember very well the name but was Clementine …?… very good.
I highly recommend this place!!!
When we will be back to Oxford we will definitely have our lunch, dinner here again.
P. A.
Visit if you like dry, highly-seasoned, rather salty meat. But if you like gravy, sauce, or meat-and-veg this may not be the place for you. We had Flat Iron Steak (which we expected would be like steak with pepper sauce) and Chicken and Waffles (which we expected would be like the traditional US dish, either covered in gravy or with butter and syrup). The pictures show what arrived, and food at the next tables was similar. The decoration and quality of service were excellent though.
K.
The food was lovely. The cocktails were a bit expensive. The staff were helpful providing information about allergies. Hand wipes are not provided which I thought was a bit strange in a restaurant you eat with your hands.
K. S.
Always a great experience at Dirty Bones. Went on a Wednesday night for a birthday treat and it was much quieter than the usual weekends when we go, which was nice. Our server was fantastic and made the experience great. Ordered the Steak special and the chicken and waffles which were delicious along with some sides and cocktails. Definitely recommend.
M. “.
The food is clean and tasty. Not greasy atall, and for fried chicken did not feel unhealthy 👍
i. m.
Great restaurant with a good vibe. The food was great and the service was excellent. The menu could have a few more offerings to make it stand out more. The cocktail mutts Nutts is a must
F. J.
We were recommended Dirty Bones by a friend as one of the best places to eat in Oxford. However, it was rather underwhelming. The prices were very expensive for a single burger and fried chicken with no sides. We ordered fries separately and these were average at best served lukewarm. Service was good and the waiting staff were very friendly. I do feel the 12.5% service charge was not justified though.
M. W.
Very dirty burger place! The menu had a selection of beastly burgers however I had to try the chicken with the sauce offerings. The chicken was amazing and the sauces were also incredible! However I would’ve loved to have seen chips included with each menu item and also the dips available on the menu! Other than that it was a lovely restaurant in a great location on the top of the shopping complex!
A. A.
Chicken wings and burger were both great. Loads of fancy cocktails on the menu too.
A. C.
Pretty tasty food and good prices. Burgers were good but the Mac and cheese was a bit lacking in flavour and the cheese wasn't that nice.
M. A.
A friend and I had dinner and we couldn't fault anything. The attentive Italian waiter was extremely friendly yet professional. The food was fantastic and the drinks recommendations were on point.
L. H.
Very small menu but what we ate was nice. Waiter spoke so quickly could hardly catch what he said. Asked for water twice before any arrived. Nice atmosphere, handy for a quick bite whilst shopping.
J. J.
My first experience of Dirty Bones in June 2021 was brilliant, but when I returned a year later it was like the gloss was fading. The waffles were still good, but the chicken was overcooked - on the brink of being burnt. It just seemed like the attention to detail had slipped along with standards. The waiting staff were functional where previously our server was enthusiastic and sold their product. Thankfully the Miso fries were still decent, but I just won't be in a rush back here - Dirty Bones had made Oxford a destination for me - not anymore. Just average.
G. C.
Lovely place - go with an appetite!
Not usually a fan of mac and cheese but I gave the balls a go for a starter and they were SO nice. For main, I had the skinny onion fries and beef and mac burger. I wish I hadn't had breakfast as I couldn't finish it all but at least I know for next time. My partner had ribs and lamb fries which he says were amazing. Would love to have tried the cocktails but was unfortunately driving. Quick service considering it was a busy Sunday and it had a really nice decor and vibe. Overall 5/5.
R. C.
Food was lovely but service was not the best. Several times we were trying to get assistance and waiters were talking to each other and it appeared not to be related to customer service
W. H.
Lovely atmosphere and attractive looking food. However portion sizes are small for the price you pay
B. B.
Yeah, the food was great. Nice atmosphere, good table service. My only issue is, you have to get the fries separate to your burger. What's up with that?
K. C.
6 of us went. The server was great. We all liked our food. 3 had chicken and waffles, 2 shared burger and wedge salad and 1 vegan burger. All said they would diffinately go back.
H.
Been recently lovely again. Never had a bad experience here.
h. s.
The food was pretty greasy, especially the buffalo aubergine. It was also quite expensive for what you got.
R. C.
Really yummy food, the fried chicken is excellent. Shockingly quick service which is always a bonus. Loads of seating and great drink options too.
N.
I'm not gonna lie this is only getting three stars cos the waitress but anyway we walked in thinking ooh nice lets have some scran then the receptionist greeted us said hi and said she was gonna seat us at the table which was between two full tables, so we asked to sit in a booth instead as id recently just came out of shielding and just by looking at her face you would've thought we were asking her to walk around the entire face of the earth. She fully started huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes in every damn direction while taking us to the booth. Next minute we were at the table and I kid you not she was blatantly slagging us off to her colleague and looking at us like we'd berated her for taking us to a different table. After that though it was fine because the waitress served us and i was back to having a good time again so thank you for that, But to the woman in the blue polka dot blouse and white trainers on either learn some manners or quit your job because your going to always have customers making different requests in the hospitality. Thanks chelsea you were slay though :D
C. C.
The best cocktail ive ever drunk before 😍😍😍💯💯💯💯
r. n.
Really well presented and great tasting food with some great service, welcoming and friendly staff.
That girl serve us , Raluca , was so helpful ,kind , polite and professional .
We had lovely night there
L. O.
I loved it, the decor was great, service was terrific and most importantly, the food was fantastic. I had the fried turkey and waffle and it was probably the best meal I have had in the UK so far, the turkey was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked( it tastes so much better than it looks ). As a side I had the crispy brussels sprouts with cranberries and it was out of this world. Definitely a fan... I am not a big eater but I left nothing on my plate! Had no room for desert unfortunately. Again best meal in the UK so far!
P.
Dishy blokes serving the drinks especially ....I want to say ....Mac ? Hobo at the door was also charming not sure where he got the T-shirt though... would come back if not for the smell of diesel and pine coming out the managers shoes
K. Y.
Popped in for a quick drink, loved it... Tasty drinks, great service and a nice spot. Card Payments only so not sure I would go back as this puts me off...
S. C.
Friends get together for birthday meal. Service very good and attentive. Food is superb really good quality and looked and tasted delicious. Only let down is the live music is far to loud u can't really talk perhaps considering some back round music instead? I recommend going there but avoid a Thursday night.
C. B.
The fried chicken and chips and slaw was amazing.
Simple but sooo nice
Definitely going back
Service was also really friendly and clean atmosphere
M. N.
Hmm, OK food, a bit pricey for chicken.. watch out for the service charge!
A. L.
This place is amazing! The food, the staff, the atmosphere, highly recommended it. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon and had a seat in minutes, and our food came really quickly too, amazing, cant wait to go back
T. H.
I could talk about the delicious, rich Mac daddy burger with the creamy Mac n cheese in. Or the perfect crispy lamb fries with equal parts sweet and spicy. But it was the fries chicken that made this meal.
This chicken was beautifully crispy whilst still being juicy and moist inside, served with a nice garlic sauce complimenting it. The fried chicken is served as a full or half pile. The half pile was a nice size to be a shared side between me and my friend.
There's a nice selection of lagers and IPAs on tap.
Service was quick and the staff were friendly and polite.
Dirty bones is pricey but I think the food is worth it.
s. h.
Greeted with a smile, taken to a very nice clean table. We were greeted by our waitress and ordered some drinks. I had an Austrian lager and my partner had a (rather delicious!!) Cherry soda. Then we ordered our food. I had the classic burger with cheesy truffle fries. My partner had the BBQ ribs. Both were absolutely amazing. The fries were so tasty. Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Will be coming back soon.
D. M.
Good Service, waitress was attentive. Food was tasty and nice and hot!
O. C.
Chips sadly don't come with the meals and when you order food, It can be quite small and the luxury food is quite expensive, however the milkshakes are nice and the menus are written very well. I would only recommend you come here if you want to spend a lot of money on the food.
Y. Y.
American mix of foods, fried chicken (+ waffles) and Buffalo hot wings stood out to us. Ofc they do burgers and hot dogs too, but that's for another time I suspect.
The buttermilk chicken is a dirty bit of chicken done right. Greasy and juicy, with a good bit of crunch to cover it. Boneless to boot. Definitely a recommend. Plus waffles and maple syrup is also a great choice and I will definitely come back for these next time.
Buffalo hot wings were a bit dry in all honesty and a bit disappointing. The sauce was good, but it wasn't enough to save the dryness and the weak coating on the wings themselves.
Go try the fried chicken, we'll be back for the burgers and hot dogs later on.
E. B.
Efficient staff, good food but felt a little rushed to order. Adding 15% service charge as standard on a table of 2 people is not appropriate in the UK, put your prices up and put your staff wages up.
J. R.
Great food and drink very speedy service well worth a visit
S. J. M.
Lovely place, lively, consistent standards, and excellent food and drinks. Love the Oxford branch. Lots of space good for small meals and large gatherings.
T. C.
Delicious food and great, efficient service. Would recommend.
N. H.
All staff were very welcoming and helpful, food was delicious, highly recommend. Will be making a return visit very soon x
A. U.
I enjoyed the ambience and decor of Dirty Bones, definitely a great place to come for drinks and the customer service was great! The fries are always amazing, but the rest of the menu isnt for me. Flavours are quite neutral and not very creative.
m. c.
A massive thank you to the staff on the evening of 1st March 2022. After being let down by Victors across the road, the staff happily seated a table of 12 for me and kept the kitchen open for a little longer for us. They were patient and nothing was a problem. Food was amazing as always.
D. R.
Just wanted to say I had the most incredible evening at dirty bones on Saturday , after walking in the host Ecequiel went out of his way to make me comfortable and seated us. The bartender Harry was amazing ! He made 10/10 drinks and served with a smile and finally Filipe who ensured we were happy throughout the evening. You guys were incredible :)
E. H.
Great place with incredible service. I was asked multiple times throughout my meal if everything was all right and they were very kind about it. I got the avocado crumpets and they tasted amazing. The atmosphere was also very nice. Nice style throughout the restaurant. Wasn't too pricey either. Definitely worth going too.
A. (. i. T.
First time won't be our last. All of the food was top notch. Specific standouts were the cheeseburger dumplings and the lamb fries.
E. C.
First visit today with daughter for birthday treat. Friendly welcoming staff good food reasonable price and an unexpected birthday treat for my daughter which she througly enjoyed. Will vist agin
J. S.
Fantastic staff, surprisingly family friendly, good outdoor area with gazebos and coverings, fast service, good comfort food!
S. H.
Amazing food, we had burger and chips, side of mac n cheese, gorgeous cocktails recommend top dog
N. T.
The staff were friendly, the place was clean and tidy, with a nice vibe but the food definitely lacked any wow factor, a bit of a let down but will try again a second time!!
B. Y.
Lovely place with excellent atmosphere and very polite,helpful staff. The food could be more accomodating of non meat eaters. There was no fish or vegetarian dish, just a single vegan choice compared to three or four meat dishes. Also we booked one halal meal only to find upon arrival they do not cater for anything halal. Really?!!. In today's market that isn't good enough. So it's four stars.
B. L.
Myself and Girlfriend have been here several times now and never had a bad experience. The food is fantastic. Especially the short rib and the chicken and waffles !
J. S.
Had the Mac Daddy burger and loved it! One of the best burgers I’ve had in my time. Came with some colleagues from work on their trial day just before opening at the new Westgate Centre. Waiting time was a bit long but, that’s understandable considering it was just a trial. Love the picture of Mos Def at the back of the restaurant!
G. D.
Really interesting food and cocktails that were both delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was also phenomenal, the food came out quickly and our waiter, Sam, was very funny and always helpful. Such a lovely restaurant with a very nice and relaxed vibe, would definitely recommend!
L.
It was very busy when we arrived, and we were told it'd be a 30 minute wait for a table, so we grabbed a seat at the bar, but we ended up with a table after only a few minutes!
The food was absolutely delicious (would highly recommend the crispy fried chicken, cheesy truffle fries, and mac and cheese)!
The service was also amazing overall, and super speedy, considering how busy it was!
Would love to go back soon!
J. H.
The decor of Dirty Bones is very modern and the atmosphere is very chic inline with some pseudo-American ideas of a smoky New York basement bar.
Service was very quick, but sloppy and we had to call the waitress back for our drinks order.
The food quality though was lacking and for what we got I felt it was incredibly overpriced.
Y. D.
In all honesty the food was average at best. Chicken was dry, pretty sure it was overcooked and the chilli burger had no heat. It was okay, but not for the price. Sorry!
However the server, Selina, was a great host. She picked out some cocktails for me when I told her what I liked, was very attentive and generally saved the visit.
Wouldn't go back for food but would definitely revisit for drinks!
T. N. G.
Good food but pricey.
IMPORTANT: Mains don't come with sides, you must order them separately.
The atmosphere here was great, felt like I was in downtown New York restaurants and I've never been to New York. The food was perfect and I loved every bite, possibly the best burger I have ever had.
My only complaint is the price, as food comes separately from sides, I paid £12 just for the burger and for as good as it was I wouldn't say its worth the price.
Our side of chips came out to £6 each, which again were delicious but considering that most other restaurants offer a main and a side for around £13 or as a deal for around £15.
The entire meal didn't feel like it was worth £18, not including drinks.
But the only thing stopping me from coming back is the forced Service charge. Now I don't mind paying a service charge, I would have been happy to but I always refuse to go back somewhere when this is forced on me.
What if the service was bad? It wasn't but that is not the point. its a principal of value, Service charges should be earned not expected.
A. R.
By far the best food I have had, particularly the lamb fries.
N. J.
Food was nice. Portions small and gets expensive when you have to buy many plates.
E. M.
Quite possibly the best burger I've ever had. The Mac and Cheese; superb. The Cheeseburger Dumplings; exceptional. My cholesterol level; all time high. Dirty Bones offers everything you could want from a comfort food meal. Try it at least once, because you'll definitely be back for more!
P. H.
Had a really nice family meal. Food was really good and service was excellent too. Whilst we did not make a booking and managed to get a table straight away, I would suggest making a reservation as it was busy the whole time we were there. We will definitely be going again.
D. L.
Beautiful ambience and excellent service! The cocktails were lush and although we didnt eat here the food looked amazing so we will definitely book to eat next time!
K. W.
Delicious TexMex style food and great retro hip hop. Lively atmosphere with a mixed crowd - families and trendies ... and trendy families ... seem to be equally welcome.
R. B.
Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and service was so quick, even on a busy Saturday night.
I. S.
Delicious food and cocktails and very friendly staff!
S. T.
Absolute gastronomic delight. Wonderful food and drink. Charming waiter. We will definitely be returning.
M. N.
Came here after a recommendation from a friend and the advice was perfect.
The lamb fries was excellent, chicken and waffles amazing and the restaurant had a good atmosphere, will be coming back to try other meal options soon.
P. D.
Nice restaurant, great rooftop location. Thoroughly enjoyed the well cooked and well presented food. Only down side I thought it was a little expensive for what you got. But would recommend.
J. P.
The staters were all excellent. The crispy fried chicken is the best I've ever had, have it with the waffles. The coffee and donuts is fantastic. Service is a little weird as you get more than one person checking on you all the time. However, the food is next level.
C. M.
Really tasty food and unique cocktail menu. Enjoyable visit. Portion size could be bigger however.
J. '. M.
Absolutely delicious brunch menu and very fair pricing. No complaints at all.
A. T.
Quick to find us a table on a busy, half term lunchtime and cannot fault the front of house staff or our waiter who was superb! Drinks came quickly and the hot, extremely tasty food shortly after. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and clean plates all round! Loved it and definitely want to return!
k. w.
Nice, polite welcome and service, amazing dumplings and steak. Recommended for any occasion.
K. F.
Highly recommended, food was fresh and served quickly. Great customer service.
H. R.
Fantastic food, staff and atmosphere.
Food arrives quickly and hot. Presentation is A+, with smooth jazz, R&B and Hip-Hop playing in the background.
W. v. B.
Food was good at decent prices, especially given the location. Staff were sadly abrupt and not especially knowledgeable.
J. B.
Good food, reasonable price.
C. B.
Got to pay if you want quality, this place is excellent 👌
I. B.
Food was great and service was even better. We were attended by Alicia, who was nice and professional
C. G.
Delicious food and friendly staff! Would highly recommend the blueberry pancakes.
D. F.
Popped in for a cocktail- was really good
S. G.
Really good vibe on a Saturday night. Cheap drinks live DJ and buckets of atmosphere. Bar staff were super friendly and had the perfect balance of being busy and having fast service.
c. s.
I'm a return customer to dirty bones Oxford coming from London and I have to say it has one of the best menus around for a very affordable price. Must recommend getting maple syrup with all your meals and the staff always provide exceptional service with a smile. I will always return to Oxford to visit the restaurant as it is in my TOP 3 restaurants within the UK. Must visit and you will love it that's a guarantee.
K. G.
Was a amazing place, good and faster service , delicious food, everything was really good.
Y. S.
My mate April Harvey was pretty hung over from going out on a Thursday night so I came out to Oxford from London to help the poor darl feel better and I took her here. We got a burger each and some bloody good sides. We also had some bloody mary’s (old hair of the dog you know) and now we are feeling ace. Would recommend that the bar tops the bloody mary’s off with something like pickles or olives or celery or something like. Burgers and sides and the drinks were all gorg tho
C. S.
Really nice place to eat. Simple food done well and in a nice friendly atmosphere.
G. P.
Was a nice experience, good atmosphere to catch up with friends however the disappointing part was the portion size when it comes to the food, when we ordered mains they came with nothing, not at least a side of cheapest leafy salad or some fries! Just bear in mind on top of the main prices you have to add side dishes as well!
When I ordered the chicken and waffle main it came as a starter portion 2 pieces of chicken on a half waffle… like why wouldn’t you let the whole waffle in the plate! So what’s the difference between a starter size and a main size cause you have that on both starter and main section on the menu?!
Also when I made the booking you guys asked if there is a special occasion which it was, our friends they just got married and then the hostess asked us again when she sat us at the table… just wondering why as you guys didn’t really offered a glass of Prosecco or anything…
Another thing I didn’t like was the Funny taste of the crispy batter on the chicken, like they didn’t change the cooking oil for a long time…
I rated 4 stars just because of our waiter, Diego who was nice enough to be patient with us! Very friendly and attentive!
T. T.
Good food. Smaller portions than i would of thought but not too bad. Main meal doesnt come with sides which you have to buy extra. Good service though
V. D.
We had a very late brunch/lunch at Dirty Bones on a busy bank holiday Saturday. The ambiance was pleasant, the food was good and the service was friendly. This is the first time I have eaten here, having enjoued cocktails and bar snacks in the past.
A. R.
Fast service, delicious food pre booked in advance.
A. 9.
I was pretty let down by this place, the chicken burgers although big, lacked flavour and the fries were salty and cold. The cocktails and pudding made up for the bad main dishes. However the waiter who went by the name selina was very attentive snd friendly throughout the evening which again made up for the made up the mediocre experience!
B. H.
Lush food, nice atmosphere, very lovely staff. Stopped for lunch, and when the lady serving found out it was my birthday, she brought out dessert on the house - which was also delicious! 5*
H. H.
The food and cocktails were great. Our service was a little slow but otherwise good.
M. d. p.
Great Food, fantastic cocktails!
The best long island ice tee in the 🌎
C. N.
Great eclectic 'on trend' bar & restaurant. Lovely cocktail menu. A great atmosphere. Staff very attentive & professional. Menu was varied but not too vast. Would definitely visit again 🙂
A.
Today I had dinner at Dirty Bones with my friends this evening. I had the vegan burger, which was ok but tasted a bit like meat. The mac and cheese balls were quite nice. The fries were nice. However the drinks were too strong and only tasted of pure spirit instead of a cocktail.
v. k.
Great place, amazing stuff, however the menu is a bit poor
J. j.
Food is good here just not much variety. Service is good though x
G. R.
Good service and good food. Pardon pepper are the best. Hamburger a bit dry to my taste.
C. L.
Been here several times and it never fails to impress my out of town visitors. Cocktails are on point, and the food is great!
C. W.
Food ok. Atmosphere good. Set at the top of the Westgate mall. Friendly staff.
s. p.
Good atmosphere, Aircon and cold drinks. Perfect for a hot day
D. D.
Lovely place.
Had a really kind waiter, Davide, who was polite and professional.FOH staff Evie was vey kind and happy to.
The wait for food was not that long and we got a very good price for what we ordered.
Food:
Lamb Fries - perfect and deffo recommend. Tastes cheesy and has the right amount of spice.
Beef Ribs - Nice at first but then it becomes dry, have to eat it with bbq sauce. Very filling though.
Burgers - The vegan one was cool because it tasted like meat. The burgers were small though, and they should broaden their veggie menu.
Deserts:
Deffo recommend the donut. The cinnamon was lovely and the coffee wasnt too intense.
My friends said the sticky toffee could have been stickier, and that the toffee should be less runny but thicker. It tasted good tho - it should be made clearer that the thing on the side is sea salt.
Overall, great atmosphere and lovely food. Rlly had a good time.
R. B.
Convenient and good food... service a bit slow even when restaurant was quiet.
R. E.
Ok place. Few issues. They would not let us sit in the front of the restaurant and made is sit in the much busier back area.
Food was Ok but nothing special. Prices were about average but they put a 12.5% service charge automatically on the bill. Will probably eat else where when next in Oxford.
P. M.
First time here and it definitely won't be the last, popped in with the family for some lunch ordered a variety of dishes between and they were all amazing. Everything was delicious couldn't fault anything. Definitely recommended.
M. W.
One of the few places to get chicken and waffles. Simple but it works. They have some fun drinks too. And if you catch a sunny day, you can sit on the terrace. Prices are pretty decent too for a shopping mall restaurant.
a. s.
Love a good old Dirty Bones however I would say I have had better service and chicken at a different location.
Service was pretty standard but nothing special, my portion of chicken was unfortunately a little overdone and you could smell that the coating on the smaller piece had burnt however, still tasty
J. F.
Food was overall great recommend the mac daddy burger and lamb fries. Would come back again minus the chicken wings which were rather dry. Only thing for me was where we were sitting I felt like I was joining the other 2 tables for a meal too we were that close. But otherwise great will be back
A. C.
Fries were good, drink was good, service good, sauce on the Beef Rib was good. But it was just too fatty. Tasty, but if it's been braised for 12 hours most of the fat should have rendered out or ot should have been trimmed prior to cooking.
G. G.
The service is nice and quick!
Flavours food, creamy, spicy, cool and tangy!
An very cool and chilled atmosphere.
Definitely recommend coming here for a quick bite or an night out. (Huge variety of drinks)
N. A.
Always a great time. Staff super helpful. Cocktails are amazing. They have happy hour even on Fridays. Mutts Nuts is my favourite.
The food is so yummy. Definitely guilty but so good.
Also recommend the weekend brunch if you're up early. Can't wait to visit again
S. Q.
Excellent food and service not as expensive as we thought it was going to be
d. d.
Great cocktails, only had a snack but that was very good too.
P. s.
Lovely place to grab some dinner, delicious food and service was excellent!!
Would recommend to anyone!!
L.
Always excellent service.
Lamb fries and the mac and cheese are personal favourites highly recommend!
Good choice of cocktails and they have happy hours where cocktails are £5.
Overall one of my favourite restaurants!
N. U.
The food was very tasty and thoroughly enjoyable! The service in my honest opinion was pretty standard, waiters/waistresses attentive and polite but nothing outstanding. Bar staff personally I found not so friendly. The atmosphere was brilliant and I'd 100% recommend going for the food alone if you haven't been before. They also add the gratuity (12%/maybe more depending on how big the bill is) automatically at the bottom of the bill but they will remove this if challenged .... Overall very good! Try the Crispy fried chicken and truffle cheese Fries. Very filling but delicious!
G. J.
Ok so this place is lovely, the food is lovely, and I mean it is just delightful, I had the mac daddy burger and putting that in my mouth was a taste sensation. The service was excellent, the staff are helpful polite and nice to talk to. The restaurant itself is really nice looking, comfortable and easy to get to. All in, this place is lovely, only thing to be improved is the pudding menu, didn't have a range as nice as the starters pr mains. Would highly recommend.
J. C.
Delicious and flavourful food, cool atmosphere and great cocktails. Awesome combination with a hip hop soundtrack. All my favourite things in one place!
S. A.
Had one of the best beef burgers! The cheese was perfectly melted and the beef was perfectly cooked. Their cocktails were also fairly nice. I also had their stickiest toffee dessert which did not live up to expectations. Would recommend trying out
R. o.
Helpful staff and the food me and my partner had was immense! 😍
B. C.
Really good experience here. Excellent service (young man called Sam who was attentive, professional & polite) and very tasty food.
My burger was delicious, my friends beef rib was excellent, was dubious about ordering the kale salad but it was very nice and the crispy lamb fries were yummy.
'Muts Nuts' happy hour cocktail was very moreish and I only stop short of giving it a 5* because it is perhaps a tad too pricey.
But...very happy dining experience and have no hesitation in recommending to you all
A. T.
The place was very nice atmosphere and the waitor was very polite, the food though (had burgers) was so so, was a bit dry and not as tasty. The fries was nice
M. W.
Good music great service and fantastic food what's not to like
H. C.
Our second time at Dirty Bones. Loved it before, hence coming again. Service was mega fast and very friendly staff. The food was good but just seemed a bit average this time.
I. W.
Attentive service and the food is tasty, however I found there is a lack of veggie options. There's one fairly basic vegan/veggie main dish and it is really quite pricey for what you get (£12 for a basic veggie burger with no sides - maybe at least throw some tomato or lettuce on it...). Meat options apparently tasty, my partner loved the chicken and waffles which were the reason we went there (and cheaper than the veggie main...).
S. d. c.
Servers were really helpful and food delicious.
K. T.
Very nice. The food was great and service very good.
A. B.
Had a great meal here. The chicken wings to start were amazing but the spicy chicken burger stole the show. 👏👏
P. S.
Great food, good service. Can recommend the lamb fries, spicy!! Great atmosphere
P. s.
Excellent food great service would highly recommend
C. D.
Lovely naughty food. We had a very decadent burger with delicious skinny fries as a side and some good fruity IPA. The sticky toffee pud was decent and different enough from the usual pub fare. The sea salt that comes with it really does make it very rich but is an optional ingredient on your plate. Service was fast and friendly 👍
D. R. (.
The service, food and location was excellent! Hope to return soon when in oxford.
Thank You..
X. K. (.
Amazing food. On time and not bad price. Would be better if they told you the amount they charge extra for the food to be brought over(table service) other than that everything was perfect. And the cocktails are a must try :)
S. T.
Absolutely amazing food! I was in a big party, so we had nearly all the dishes and all of them were fantastic. The best food love had for a long time! The service was very, very good, all dishes came out together, no waiting at all. I will definitely be back again.
P. M.
Excellent burger and the waffles were delicious
C. D.
Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced, didn't eat there but the food they were serving looked great. Varied clientèle, would go back
c. s.
Really enjoyed this place, lovely atmosphere. The food was really good too. I had the beef ribs and it was really delicious. Meat melted in the mouth. Had the lamb fries which were awesome too though perhaps a side order to share rather than to have as an individual. As a group we had a mixture of starters which were all pretty good. Price is not too bad either. Best I've tried in Westgate so far, will return.
S. R.
Excellent food, cocktails amazing, music perfect. Service was very slow. Would definitely recommend, beautiful views, cracking place to catch up with old friends
L. D.
Tasty food, recommend dining in to get the full flavour of not only the food but the vibe as well! We ordered the Vegan burger and fries, dumplings plus steak + mac cheese (forget the name of it) with fries. Serving portions were good!
The venue itself is cool and great to take friends to and have a cocktail 🍹 or two...three
Price is in line with other places who have a similar quality - menu, venue etc
S. V.
Staff are nice and helpful.
Food itself was a little disappointing and bland.
Would recommend any of the cocktails.
Overall it was Ok.
O. L.
Varied and interesting menu choices. Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. My partner and I had the short rib crumpets and the brisket hash; obviously unusual dishes which sounded right up our street yet somehow I wasn't bowled over by either of them. They were fine, I ate it all. The crumpets seemed a little too sweet for meat. Maybe another menu choice would have been better. I would certainly consider returning to give it another try.
S. A.
The food, drink and service was amazing.
O. S.
Oh my god the food..... The food is mouth gussling, dream, satisfying food I've had it such a long time! The beef brisket is so tender and flavorful!!! The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming!! They have an amazing drinks menu and some of the best milkshakes with alcoholic versions available too! Would definitely recommend this place for a meal out, or party! Thank god I discover this place!!
K. C.
Great food, great atmosphere and very welcoming, even towards my 4 & 7 year old on a Friday night! Will definitely visit again when we are next in Oxford.
f.
Beef short rib with espresso-BBQ sauce and crispy shallots is so yum, soft beef well cooked and very rich in flavor ! one of the best beef ribs I ever tried. Buffalo aubergine was so good too: it’s a fried aubergine dipped in a spicy buffalo sauce; a vegetarian version of buffalo chicken wings. Also liked the Mac and cheese, cheesy truffle and crispy lamb fries. Usually Requires reservation.
R. G.
A friend had a last minute birthday meal here and even though short notice was provided for our 11 top, the staff did everything to accommodate us and ensure we were comfortable. We had one of the set menu feasts which was perfect, got to taste a bit of everything and definitely left us wanting to come back and try the full menu. The best aspect really was the staff - our waitress was so attentive and patient with our slightly disorganized party, she was there immediately when we needed her and worked really hard to ensure we were attended to, alway had drinks, and our food served promptly. 100% recommend
J. A. P.
Great atmosphere and decor! Food is delicious but quite rich, so make sure you're hungry. A good place for a fun night with friends or a date.
J. W.
Really good cocktails and burgers and the service was on point. Place has a great vibe to it as well, much better than the alchemist next door
B. S.
I saw a lunch offer, so I went in and enjoyed a delicious burger. It was meaty and juicy, with good proportions and nothing sliding out of the bun. This was accompanied with fries that had just the right amount of garlic and salt.
On a side note. I accidentally left my bag here, with 2 phone chargers inside. At the end of the day, after realising, I sent them a message through their website. I returned the next day, to be greeted immediately and given my bag with 2 phone chargers inside! This made my day!
So to sum up, tasty food and excellent service. Highly recommended.
T. H.
Oh my word, I had their vegan burger with salad and it was very yummy, but so meat like. Now most people would love this, but I do plant based because I do not actually enjoy meat and so this was just a little too realistic for my liking.
But still 5 stars because it was great service, a lovely vibe and the food itself was well presented with a great selection available.
S. G.
This place has really great food, a nice atmosphere and staff who are attentive without being overbearing. I love it!
S. L.
Great food Best burger and chicken however be prepared to pay top rates. Good service and very friendly
S.
Lovely service from start to finish. Seated outside in the sun on request; very attentive but non-obtrusive staff. Lamb fries were DELICIOUS! Leo was particularly lovely in looking after us, and got me an extra cocktail before happy hour ended! Looking forwards to coming back.
A.
Incredible food, slow service though. Their fried chicken is the best I've ever had in this country hands down. The restaurant is sleek and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and polite, but the service is quite slow and the restaurant is pretty expensive even for Oxford. This is a place for the occasional treat, not a workday lunch.
a. n.
Classically American family restaurant with big portions, hearty dishes and good atmosphere. Prices are a little high but service and quality of food was great. Fried Chicken is 24Hr brined so it’s super tender but the wings weren’t hot and were sub-par. Crispy Lamb Fries is a must!
L.
The boozy brunch is amazing. The waiters are super attentive to make sure that your glass is filled the whole time. The portions are on the smaller side but everything is delicious. I would recommend ordering a snack about an hour in to offset the delicious drinks!!
I. K.
Dirty bones it is a beautiful place, have good food and the staf give me a good vibe
A. K.
lovely experience, good atmosphere, polite waitresses and waiters really good food and drinks only complaint would be chicken was quite undercooked. overall 9⭐️
Х. Х.
I`ve been to Dirty Bones several times on different occasions and always have a wonderful experience ! All staff are very polite and the service was very quick and friendly . Delicious menu - we all found something we like and were very happy with the food. Loved my Lobster and crab roll with mac and cheese. Also very exciting cocktail list - I tried The Littlest Hobo
It's not cheap, but it's definitely spot on in regards to price-quality
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have nice food in a nice atmosphere and will definitely visit again
J. N.
Went on the opening day last Thursday - staff were very accommodating if a little under it (understandable first day and all that). Decor is amazing, and the menu is fun and engaging. Go for the Mac & Cheese and the Ribs. Awesome sound track too.
s. s.
Had a large party here a while ago (18 people) service was very good especially considering it being on a busy Saturday night. Staff were very accomodating even though some people arrived late. Food was good and decent sized portions. Ate off set menu think was around 25 each for two courses and everyone recieved glass of prosecco. Would recommend.
A. H.
Great food, reasonably priced, nice setting and amazing staff. Jason is really helpful and amazing, as all Jason's are.
M. H.
Do I need to eat anywhere else again? The only thing letting this place down was me - I only ran 5k yesterday so couldn’t justify a second burger!! 😭 Next time I’m running a marathon then coming - ALL THE BURGERS. 🤤 Even the sauces are delishje!! Couldn’t have a cocktail this time because I’m working tomorrow. 😤 I’ll order an ambulance in advance to remove my satiated body when I return. 😍
r. f.
The food is quite unhealthy and pricey. Service and ambience are good
M. J.
Amazing food, bit pricey otherwise I'd give it a 5
J. J.
Great American family food choices. Buffalo wings, Mac n cheese, juicy burgers, buttermilk chicken. All hearty and bad for your arteries (as if your taste buds care). Lb fries are unique but worth going for and a decent beer selection. Busy in the evenings. Now off to sleep away the food...
O. H.
Absolutely fantastic food; It's a little bit on the expensive side, but not by much and it's certainly worth it.
The mac and cheese burger was everything you wanted, the fried chicken was exquisitely made, but what stole the show was the lamb fries. Seriously, even if you don't normally like lamb, get these.
N. Q.
Delicious cocktails and the best vegan burger I've had in 14 years!
S. C.
I really like the bbq pork ribs ! The service is fast and really nice place to dine with my partner.
C. N.
Good service. Food was lovely. Phone unfortunately had died before coming there and they didnt seem to like that they had to do track and trace "old fashioned way" rather than qi code, so maybe not suitable for techniphobes or people without smart phones
E. “. G.
Although it can be a bit expensive, it is well worth it.
The dishes are amazing, meat is prepared with clear expertise and it literally melts in your mouth. I ordered a dessert I hate by mistake once and I ended up loving it simply because the chefs are that good at cooking food.
They give you clean forks and knives after each meal.
It's spacious and the music seems to be rather retro, me and my friend recognized a few songs from GTA Vice City.
K.
Food is phenomenal. So much flavor. Staff and chefs are sobpokite and professional. Would recommend dirty bones to anyone who wishes to enjoy good food, good cocktails and a nice friendly atmosphere.
D. W.
Just perfect for nice artery clogging comfort food. Friendly service with good cocktails and really tasty food. Nice informal and relaxed environment with comfortable and eclectic décor and furnishings... well worth a visit if you are feeling in need of naughty food!
C. B.
We popped in for a quick lunch. Food was actually really really tasty, the service was quick and the serving staff were attentive and speedy. Easy, mud priced American style food in a modern environment. Pop in without hesitation.
R. M.
Absolutely amazing atmosphere and delicious food. I strongly recommend the beef rib and crispy chicken, alongside with a chopped salad. They also have kids menu, with really delicious chicken strips. Very friendly staff too!
J. B.
Came here with two friends. We was served by a lovely waitress called Josephine, she was very nice and welcoming! The food was decent as well.
R. H.
Great vibe, decor, cocktails and food generous portions. Service friendly too. Went during the day whilst shopping before going to see a show in town. Bet this place is really cool at night with its vibe & views over the Oxford spires!
S. M.
Great food but portion sizes are small. The burgers are delicious but bite sized. Shame really.
C. F.
I gave it three stars because the food was OK but it was very expensive for what it was. My chocolate milk shake was £8, that's as much as a meal in some restaurants. The options sound super innovative but sometimes they do not pan out, saying that I am still looking forward to going back.
O. M.
The fried chicken and waffle waa good. The crispy chicken by itself was also good, but a bit monotonous and the white dip it came with was fairly flavourless (was it supposed to be a blue cheese dip?). The music qas too loud. The staff was polite but could be more smiley.
M. C.
Nice food and venue. Slightly let down by the wait time for the lovely cocktails. Also, the lovely rustic table we sat at, had a metal top, but the metal smell was all over your hands 2 mins after sitting down
S. B.
Very filling food. tastes great but not at all healthy. great one in a while treat, quite pricey too.
B. C.
I LOVE Dirty Bones! It's our favourite restaurant in Oxford at the moment. We go there for family treats and birthdays. I always have the waffles & buttermilk chicken.
Keep up the amazing food Dirty Bones! Thank you!
J. H.
Massive thank you to Dana. My partner had low battery on her phone but Dana went above and beyond to help us out. Excellent service from Dana. Give her a pay rise!
M. P.
Never had a bad experience here and been many times
B. H. S.
Chips was nice but chicken burger was not nice at all did not eat only took a bite and left .. But I was offered for a replacement burger which we refused.. customer service was very good...
D. C.
We went for brunch and the biggest problem is that the Breakfast Club opposite is better (and busier).
The service was good and the food was tasty, but the portions were a bit small and you have to get a side seperately. The kids food seemed to be much better in terms of portion size and looked great.
The atmosphere was ok and I suspect it is better for evening cocktails than brunch. It was virtually empty at 11ish, whereas opposite people were queuing to get into the breakfast club.
R. X.
Potioning is good, though I may have expected more quality of the bbq execution (although I am a very picky bbq person). The sides were very nice, particularly the roast peppers. Overall it was a great family dinner and would consider coming back!
D. H.
Coffee was good, staff were super friendly and very helpful. Went on the first few nights so food was half price. Had the buttermilk chicken which was very tasty but doubt I would eat here again for the price.
l. h.
Really nice place. Cocktails were lovely, normal prices. Food was good, chips were horrible tho. Bit carboardy. Staff were friendly and efficient. Will go back.
K. S.
Good range food. Nice staff.
K.
This place is amazing. Delicious food and cocktails. Excellent choice of beer and remarkable service from extremely friendly staff. You'll be well looked after at Dirty Bones
J. K.
Went for my friends 50th birthday great evening
O. W.
This is a odd.resteraunt, when going to the place I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, one look at the menu and you will see many things that you may think will be horrible, chicken on waffle for instance is a off combination but it works really well. The drinks are also amazing, my main corse was a burger with Mac and cheese on it as well as pulled pork. This meal works so well and it is a delight to eat. Five Stars, if you are nearby it is worth going.
m.
Lovely location, decent drinks menu, but they automatically charged 10% service on two drinks. If we'd had a meal I'd have understood, if we'd had the option I may have rounded up the bill. Nice place though...
E. E.
Loved the vegan burger and mac and cheese balls!
T. B.
Steak and eggs on point and cooked to perfection. My wife said the burger was one of the best she's ever eaten. Great staff and fast service. Would recommend!
D. S.
The lamb fries are fab and almost a meal in themselves. The chicken salad I had was superb, the meat was tasty and tender and the salad greens were excellent.
R. A.
Had the flat iron steak with sticky toffee desert, and sampled the gin selection. ALL of it was to die for. Highly recommended, my waiter HARRY was very attentive and polite. Next time im in Oxford, I shall be going back. 5 stars
C. P.
It's average, nothing bad but nothing special either.
M. R.
I only had cocktails and desserts but it was lovely! Good portions, attentive staff, good cocktails and served quickly.
Very nice atmosphere in there, I will definitely come back.
N. S.
Nice place,very busy and nice food.very expensive though.
K. C.
We have visited Dirty Bones, Oxford, on many occasion and have loved it every time. We can't fault the service and staff are always so efficient. Love the decor (makes a change to see something other than the distressed look with school chairs etc.). The ambience/atmosphere is good too with great music and most of all the food is delicious. We highly recommend a visit.
J. G.
Nice cocktails and worth it during the happy hour!

I'm an American transplant in Oxford, so when I walked by Dirty Bones, I had to try their food. Their menu says that they are 'New York' inspired, but their menu is a hodge podge of food from all over the US. I don't mind that as long as the food is good. And some of it is, but it's seriously over priced for what you get.
Pros:
1.They have RANCH DRESSING (which you can only get in the UK if you buy it from a special US import store). And they have Jalapeno Cheese Sauce (it's slightly grainy, but they still have it). Their fries are tasty, so get the sauces on the side and yum. The only reason they get three stars is because of Ranch Dressing and Jalapeno Cheese Sauce. Otherwise it would have been a generous 2.
2. The atmosphere is good and the music fits.
Cons:
1. The wait staff seem a bit out of sync. They didn't notice when my table needed things. When we ordered dessert, mine came about 20 mins after my kids, and after I asked for the bill.
2. The chicken and waffles while tasty as hell are overpriced at £11 a plate. Two *small* pieces of chicken (leg and a thigh or eensy breast - hard to tell, on bones) and a half a Belgian waffle. For £11 it should be a whole waffle and 3 pieces or more, especially with the size of the chicken pieces. My burger was *okay*. By English standards it's fair to good, but not great. By American standards...it's forgettable, I can get an epic burger back home for half the price (from a place with good atmosphere, not a dive).
3. I wasn't sure it was even open. When we walked by the front there was a manager in a booth with a laptop and papers all over the place. You don't realise that this is the bar in the front and the restaurant in the back. Having the manager perched right at the entrance doing work gave it the impression it was closed. We almost walked by and went somewhere else but decided to check.
4. Table of 3 and they do a forced 12.5% tip. I get it for large parties...but we were THREE. This bothered me for two reasons. First, I would have tipped more (I do a standard 15-20%), so it ended up screwing the waitstaff. Second, no one should be forced to tip, especially if the service is bad, and it wasn't epic so the forced tip should be removed.
All in all, I would go back there for the novelty of my kids being able to order chicken and waffles in the UK. I would stick to fries and dips myself, the food isn't worth it for the price. I could see this being a good place to drink at while snacking on fries, beyond that feels like a rip off.
You can tell that this menu and the execution was crafted by someone English trying to be American and charging you much more than they should for what you get.
s. l.
Staff were moody, food ok, quite expensive for what you got, nice place could be so much better,
J. W.
The food was amazing had the ribs which was too big and I couldn't finish them all! They were great value for money!!! The service was very good and very quick even though the place was very busy. Will definitely be returning next time I visit oxford
P. H.
Lovely restaurant set in Westgate with lovely views of Oxford, Delicious burger and fries and to die for cocktails, heartily reccomend
J. P.
Ehh, bit pricey, ordered a few sides and they came out luke warm. Tasty but not quite as good as I would have hoped.
K. D.
Amazing food! Definitely one to visit if you're in Oxford.
D. B.
The food is pretty good here and they have a nice selection of beers. The price is a little high but can be worth it once in a while!
Good for small to large groups.
I'd recommend the beef rib.
D. D.
The location is very nice and the terrace is perfect for a sunny afternoon. The service is very good too,the guys were friendly and helpful .
The food is average so if you are looking for a place to eat its not the best one but for drinks is good and the prices are low.
J. A.
Highly recommended. Food was lovely and well priced. Cocktails and desert were a huge hit.
Y. Y. S.
We came in on Ovaproof's graduation day. The staff and manager were kind, attentive, celebratory, knowledgeable and engaging. Vegan requirements with some intolerances were responded to with care. It was like serving us was an absolute pleasure. The food was great (a meat eating body builder member of our team was preferring your vegan options - take note, you can make much of this). I have already been spreading the word. See you again before long.
A. L.
The food was cold and and they didn't take out the spice sauce that I had asked to. I told the waitress and they surprisednme not charging the plate.
H. O.
Had a lovely afternoon here :-) the hostess was wonderful very attentive and friendly. The rest of the staff was very friendly also! Will definitely go back.
D. F.
First time visiting Dirty Bones. Both my wife and I loved it. Food was spot on and at good prices. Service by Simran and colleagues was great. Nice atmosphere and venue. Will be back.
B. H.
Sam: the best waiter! Every time I needed Sam here, he was already here... What a guy! He was so happy, that he actually made my day so much better! If you have a waiter that’s not Sam, then you better ask for Sam because you will be a fool not to. Sam, all I can say is thank you! ❤️
D. B.
Nice food and restaurant too. Had the Mac Daddy burger, which was pretty good. Went on the half price deal, think it is probably slightly overpriced otherwise.
A. S.
Very busy during the holiday season, but still managed to fit us in. The service was excellent, and the food was superb. A fair selection for Vegetarian and Vegan diets, the vegan burger is incredible!
D. R.
Tasty but quite expensive
E. R.
Excellent food and staff, highly recommended!
R. S.
Originally I rated this 4 stars, but I've had to revise my review to reflect average service on my most recent visit. Food is great but waiter only seemed to be more engaging when we asked for the bill...
S.
Great location in centre of beautiful Oxford.Food delicious and the Mutts Nutts cocktail is amazing,had to have 2.😸
A. B.
Delicious food especially the buffalo aubergine. Definitely are too much. Lovely service from Kostas.
P.s. there’s only one type of pretzel 🥨 thanks for the lesson Sam.
A. C.
Very nice cocktails during the happy hour, nice venue, nice staff... definitely going back for more. Next time we will try their food.
F. E.
Warm welcome. Delicious food. Service excellent.

Great place, great food, l had a tall bloke serving me and my Mrs as he was very funny and professional. Plus was serving a lot of tables and was very consistent with everyone.
J. G.
Only went for drinks bit nice atmosphere and cocktails good value at happy hour

Brilliant place, very nice staff, creative menu and a nice atmosphere.

Went there on Friday evening. Excellent food and outstanding service. Huge thank you to our waiter, Sam who can only be described as a rad individual. What a legend.
P. B. D.
Super friendly staff. Amazing food. The chicken here is one of my favourites. Would highly recommend. Don't forget to try the cider!
B. F.
Absolutely, undeniably the best restaurant in Oxford. Incredible food, amazing service and borderline lethal cocktails. Cannot recommend it enough. Perfect for all groups
K. B.
Staff were super friendly and accomodating- made a special dessert for my mum as she's gluten free- and the food was delicious. Fun decor and cool drinks too!
S. P.
Love this place soo much! Amazing food and milkshakes! The staff is friendly too
N. A.
Try it for brunch - it's much more spacious, and less crowded than Breakfast Club and way more affordable, too.
Between delicious food, great service, massive portions, reasonable prices, and brilliant drinks, this is probably the best restaurant in the Westgate.
J. C.
Very much recommend. The drinks have a large range of tastes. I loved the classic burger. Staff are very kind and accommodating.
N. c.
Good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Really enjoyed the chicken and waffles.
H. J.
Just yum!
We had a table of 15 so had the feast and everything was so good.
N. M.
Had the most tastiest steak snack wow the Brussels sprouts are delicious!
F. R.
Really lovely food, great service! We had the brunch and were very pleased with the amount and quality of it. Service was excellent. Would reccommend
A. I.
Good, really tasty but overpriced as I left hungry. The size of chicken humburger is not for a hungry person I am afraid. Courgets chips tasty though.
C. V.
Good vibes , lovely staff and super nice food . Definitely recommend
N. E.
Fast serving food. Best are the lamb fries. Great atmosphere but music abit too loud to have a conversation without shouting.
M. T.
Lovely place, amazing food! So good we came here twice in 24 hours! Lovely atmosphere and kind friendly staff
D. W.
Really liked the menu. The chicken on our visit was a little overdone but we're looking forward to visiting again. Reasonably priced too.
J. S.
Great food, reasonably priced and well made cocktails (£5 Mon-Fri for a selection of 6) service wasn't the best, had to keep requesting drinks/water etc. Would like to return to try some more of the menu!
P. G.
Great staff, great drinks, definitely recommend. £5 cocktails between 3-6pm weekdays too!
R. M.
