Love this place, am a regular coffee customer and have brunched here frequently. This was my 1st dinner experience, it was lovely, food was good, service was excellent... My only real gripe... the price of the soft drinks for kids... almost €4 for a small bottle of fanta etc.. I suggest lowering the price or providing a larger bottle...

My wife and I have been to WTF Burger for a while. Food, service, venue is always amazing. We love the personal touch from the staff, they don’t rush us or just take our order and run, always patient and polite. We enjoy it’s so close to where we live and that we can bring others there too.

Great services. They looked after us well and make sure we well watered and fed. They add a touch a class when they delivered a birthday cake with happy birthday wishes in sign language ( as the birthday girl was deaf ). They went out of their way to learn it off on the internet beforehand which I will always be grateful. Will be back very soon no doubt! Good is excellent, kids loved the chicken wings sand the burger. Excellent service.

I told them my child couldn't have ice cream due to an allergy and was offered a milk shake or coke float instead...both containing ice cream. Staff should be better trained. Was then charged for a pitcher of a drink when a single glass was ordered, check your bill before paying.
