Good Creole Food
I absolutely adore the food at this place. It is all so nice you want everything on the menu!

Absolute favourites are the ribs and Jambalaya.

The portions are big so you better have a hearty appetite. The service is good but sometimes you have to wait a long time. It has a laid back feeling to the whole place and I would say just go with the flow.

They do some exotic dishes with different ingredients such as alligator (tasted like tough chicken) so if you fancy something different it is worth a punt.

Have been many times with large and small parties and it is a fantastic place to eat as long as you aren't in a hurry. If you are, best not to eat here.

Great Place for Kids
This pub is a great place to take kids as it has a wacky warehouse.

They have a varied menu with great 2 for 1 offers making it a cost effective way to have a family day out. The choice of food is varied and the kids menu has a lot of choice too.

The whole pub has recently been refurbished and this has given it a much brighter and cleaner look. You don't usuall have to booke but they do get very busy on a Sunday.

However, to their credit, even when it is busy the service is still good and the food is consistent.

Great choice for a reasonably priced meal with the kids.

Reasonably priced food
I quite like the Square Peg for a lunchtime meal whilst out and about in town.

The central location makes it an ideal place to grab a bite to eat. The atmosphere is quite lively with an eclectic mix of people. As it is a Wetherspoons you know you are going to get a great priced meal and their drinks are quite well priced.

It was always quite a smoky place but since the smoking ban is a lot more pleasant.

They have a really long bar but many staff so it is easy to get served.

I have been many times and never witnessed any trouble, even on the local football teams match days.

Intimate Concert Venue
I have been to 2 concerts here, Moby and Corinne Bailey Rae and they were both fantastic experiences.

As the venue is so small it seems much more intimate. For Moby I was in the 4th row at the front and you seemed close enough to be able to reach out to him.

For Corinne we got there late so could get nowhere near the front. We stayed up on the balconly floor and were able to sit on the sofa's around the edge of the room and chill out to a fantastic voice.

Both concerts are unforgettable and hold a special place in my heart. If you are lucky enough to see one of your favourite artists in this venue it is a must have and so much better than NIA or NEC experience.

Great Fun Night
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!!!

I had always wanted to go as I LURVE 80's music but never had the right crowd to go with. Went for a leaving do for an ex-colleague and it was the greatest night out.

Music obviously was fantastic. Horrendously difficult to get a drink at the bar as it was so busy. The place was really hot as well but God did we have a laugh. Love the toys and outfits you can buy really cheap, silly bit of fun with blow up guitars and glittery hats.

There did seem to be a lot of older men oggling much younger girls though which seemed a bit pervy !

Good Night out, will defnitely do it again!

Great Night Out
As a straight married woman I had never been to a gay nightclub and didn't know what to expect. There was a huge group of us, males and females, gays and straight and we had the best night.

The music was brilliant as there was something to suit everyone on different floors. You could dance on stage and strut your stuff and no one gave a toss what you did as long as you had fun. There was no pressure, no hassle and it was a great laugh.

It was fabulous to be around non-judgemental people who were all there for the same reason. I would definitely go back again.

Great Fun Night
I went here with a large group of ladies for my hen night and we had such a fun night.

I had never had Greek food before but the waiters were really good explaining what the dishes were like and we were all having a taste of each others.

When the entertainment started it was such fun. I am quite a shy person but as the hen I was dragged up to dance ON the tables. I am not a light person and it stood up to my weight no problem!

We then went outside and were smashing plates in the street, that was such a laugh and the traditional image of a greek restaurant.

All in all, a fabulous fun night and one I will never forget.

Never Again
Unfortunately I had a horribe experience at this restaurant and will never eat there again.

The food was really greasy and bland. I had a seafood pasta that had no seafood in it and the staff were non-existant to the extent that it took almost 3 hours to get a 2 course meal.

I say 2 courses because the special 2 person dessert was out of stock. I was told they rarely had it so I pointed out that it was displayed all over the restuarant and they should perhaps remove it if it kept causing a problem.

This is the only restaurant that I have ever complained about and their Head Office gave us vouchers for the restaurant - No way would I go back again !

Meals are Huge !
If you like a good Sunday dinner then you can't go too far wrong with this carvery.

There is a lovely selection of meats and the carvers are very generous with them unlike some carvery's I have visited. The Yorksire puddings are absolutely massive and very crispy.

There is a huge selection of fresh vegetables and they are not over cooked. All foods are regularly replenished so it won't suddenly run out as you get to the front of the queue.

You definitely won't go hungry here!

Lively restaurant
This is one of the nicest restaurants in Central Birmingham. You would think as it is in the Mailbox it would be expensive but I have always found it to be well priced.

The menu is always varied and the specials are generally a good choice. It is a very lively restaurant and it is very difficult to have a conversation there so I wouldn't recomend it for a quite romantic meal!

The service is very good even when you go with a massive crowd at Christmas. It is one of my favourites and sure to be for a long time.
