Asthehills Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I am thinking this must be a joke?  If not I see it being very short lived, as in one of those places you only ever go to once for a laugh? It might be the first local restaurant not to struggle for staff though 😂 https://m.facebook.com/100087471026932/about/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great burgers and grumpy sulky staff. As you say, recruitment oversubscribed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did it close? Can't say I've ever been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've ever been in. I had a chat with a girl in there around TT Week. By the time I went back it was closed again. Nothing in there seems to stay open for any length of time before they fall out with the landlord and bugger off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like it on there, even though they had the worst pool table in the world. It will be interesting to see how they do. I could see us going once for a laugh, but doubt it would become a regular thing no matter how good the food was. Coincidentally I made a rare trip to Castletown to eat this evening.  Liver and bacon in The George.  It was pretty average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good game for a Tuesday this 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just now, WTF said: is it one of those fake attractions that other thread is about ? No.  It’s a very popular concept in the UK, and as John has already said further a field that looks like it might be opening here. I have already sent in an application form in the hope that the Tynwald Christmas party is held there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriT Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 To be honest even the logo looks cheap and grim. It’s hard to believe they’re a global chain, is it not just someone called Karen who has set up an American diner in the IOM? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
