This is the best sandwich shop in the history of the universe, but don't just take my word for it - ask any of the hundred or so people that visit it religiously every weekday.

What's the secret of their success? It's simple:
(1) the amazingly friendly staff will make you any sandwich, roll, salad or pretty much anything else you like from scratch without fuss or bother,
(2) the portions are very generous,
(3) the food is of good quality, and
(4) the prices are excellent - on average, a huge generously filled roll costs around Â£1.50.

I've never known a sandwich shop like it! Fantastic!This is the best sandwich shop in the history of the universe, but don't just take my word for it - ask any of the hundred or so people that visit it religiously every weekday.

Review by jacquarina

Rating: 4.00Top Wok always produce top notch chinese food. They have a wide range of choices on the menu at reasonable prices and are happy to help if you want something slightly different. Delivery is free and fast. The set menus are good value if 2 people want the same thing and they do good vegetarian options too. If you use them regularly they have a loyalty scheme giving you 1 voucher for each Â£10 spent and when you collect 10 you get a Â£10 voucher to spend. They also have desserts and alcohol so if you want to order a whole evening in one go you can.Top Wok always produce top notch chinese food.

The Mandarin Chef - GOOD FOR TAKE AWAY OR EAT IN by sydom0

Review by sydom0

Rating: 4.00This is one of my favourite Chinese take aways in the area. The food is fresh and of good quality, the service is usually good too. The wait for a delivery is average, you don't want it too quick as you then worry about how long it was cooked for! You can also eat in here, the reestaurant is attached to the take away shop. It is very authentically decorated with Chinese memorabelia. They do the usual all you can eat buffet as well as the option to chose individual courses. At Chinese New Year they did a fantastic set meal option with entertainment and traditional Chinese entertainment too, it was superb and I would definetely recommend it to anyone. They are licensed so you can have wine/beer with your meal if you choose. There is no parking at the restaurant but there are plenty of roads nearby where you can park for free and a pay and display a 3 minute walk away. Close to lots of pubs for going onto after.This is one of my favourite Chinese take aways in the area. The food is fresh and of good quality, the service is usually good too.

KFC - MEDIOCRE by sydom0

I do like the food that KFC sells, but this particular branch of the fast food chain isn't my fabourite. The place isn't very clean and being situated in a run down bus station in Poole town centre doesn't help. It is on two floors although often the upstairs is shut. The toilets there are always being graffiti'd and are reguularly shut. The staff aren't very friendly or helpful, I don't think any of them smile. The actual food is the usual KFC standard and the food menu choice is the same as all other branches. Better to take away than eat in. Due to the situation of the restaurant you have to park away from it in the town centre car park and walk to it, there is no parking next to or close by to this KFC.I do like the food that KFC sells, but this particular branch of the fast food chain isn't my fabourite.

Burger King - As good as fast food can be. by ricardo52

I have always preferred Burger King to other fast food chains as I usually find that the food is much higher quality. The Angus burgers, for example, are very nice. I also enjoy the 'BK Fusion' ice cream dessert.

This Burger King is on Poole High Street, but is large enough that there are always plenty of tables to choose from. The restaurant is always very clean and the staff are occasionally helpful, which makes a change.

As a mentioned above, the food is very nice and is also reasonably cheap. If you want a quick, tasty meal, this is a good place to go. I recommend to anybody in a hurry.I have always preferred Burger King to other fast food chains as I usually find that the food is much higher quality. The Angus burgers, for example, are very nice.

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) - Cheap by ricardo52

This KFC has rude, unfriendly staff and is extremely dirty - even by KFC standards. A mop would go a long way here, especially in the toilets. They are quite disgusting.

Never-the-less, the food is okay. If you don't think about what is in it, you will probably find it very tasty and enjoy it. The food is also very cheap, with bargain buckets and offers giving you even more value for money. Beware though that the popcorn chicken is very overpriced - it is cheap but the portions are very small.

The handy location of this KFC means that it is a good place to grab a bite to eat after a morning of shopping.

So in conclusion - a horrible restaurant but nice food.This KFC has rude, unfriendly staff and is extremely dirty - even by KFC standards. A mop would go a long way here, especially in the toilets. They are quite disgusting.

McDonald's Restaurant - Average by ricardo52

ricardo52 — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:37:10 +0000

Review by ricardo52

Rating: 3.00Being in the centre of a busy high street, this Mcdonald's is a convenient place to stop off for lunch while shopping.

As with all Mcdonald's this restaurant serves low quality food at low prices, which isn't always a bad thing. The food is tasty but is not fulfilling, and so you will soon feel hungry again. Also be warned that it is far from the healthiest of foods.

This restaurant is not always clean. The toilets, in particular, are often dirty. The staff are as unfriendly as in all Mcdonald's. Beware that you get what you pay for here, and as everything is so cheap, you don't get much.Being in the centre of a busy high street, this Mcdonald's is a convenient place to stop off for lunch while shopping.

McDonald's Restaurant - Average, cheap food by ricardo52

Tucked away behind some shops, this McDonald's is still quite large. It is rare to find that there are no tables to sit at. It is usually clean, but not always.

The food is decent enough when in need of a quick meal and is also very cheap. The only thing is that none of the meals are very filling and it will not be long until you are hungry again. In this respect, this restaurant only serves as a quick 'top up' rather than a filling meal.

The service here is mediocre. The staff are often hard to understand and grumpy. It is, though, very quick service and you will receive your meal within a minute or two.Tucked away behind some shops, this McDonald's is still quite large.

Definately one of the best Chinese's in or around Poole. I can't say I've ever had a bad dish before, and I have tried alot from the menu.

They also do 'boxes', by that I mean those little white noodle boxes you always see americans with. You can have them filled with rice/noodles and a main dish, and it comes with a drink too.

Free delivery as well, I think within three miles.
