Gas & Co

Stumbled in here really one evening as American Diner is my kinda eating. Great looking place and welcoming staff even though interrupted their dinner it seems.
Service was pleasant but had trouble getting their attention a couple of times. Asked what was in the pulled pork Quesadilla starter (i am very fussy with food) advised it is just pulled pork and cheese so i had that.
When it arrived its full of veg and chilli that i really didn’t want, i gritted teeth and gave it a go, was bearable and very tasty. We had only popped in for light starter snacks and it was massive! Pretty much like a main meal and we ended up not eating again that evening so portions are good.
Milkshakes were lovely and food very nice, what we saw passing also looked pretty good, big burgers and large hot dogs, will be going back to sample more some time for sure.
Shame about the details and attentiveness (it was not even half full) but otherwise pleasing.
Have spoken to friends since who were not happy with the service in there enough to never return and it seems a couple of reviews on here feel the same. Willing to give it another go myself. Will let you know how it goes ;)

An American diner who wouldn’t want to give this place a try.
The outside looked great, my instinct was wrong and I guess the greatness left as soon as I entered the restaurant.
Was left disappointed with this place after being recommended by a friend.
I went with 3 others and my little boy. We all agreed that this was not as great as excepted so that ruled out it just being me.
I had the American breakfast, was not the greatest. Didn’t taste as expected, out of the packet food came to mind.
The staff were good which was nice to see even though we complained about the food the manager was understanding.
A plus side to this place is the funky décor inside.
Was not very busy at the time of visit.
Overall a disappointed visit !

This place used to be Henry Africas famous for it’s Long Island Iced Teas, I think my liver has just about recovered from my last visit several years ago. Now as I write this I’m wondering if my stomach will ever recover from what I consumed there last night.
We tried the sampler that consisted of ribs, chicken, chicken wings, sausage and burnt ends. It was certainly an American sized portion and it arrived with slaw, beans and spicy rice. The beans appeared to have carrots as part of the preparation, I’ve never seen that before. It really didn’t add anything to the beans so there was little point in my opinion. The beans didn’t really taste of anything either. The spicy rice was bland and certainly not spicy. The burnt ends were unlike any burnt ends I’d had whilst living in the USA, they were just chunks of meat that had been stewed for a while. Thinking about it, I have no idea if they were burnt ends or the pulled pork. It looked like beef. The ribs were small and covered in goop, actually the entire meal was covered in the same greasy goop which I presume was some sort of BBQ sauce. The sausage tasted and looked like a value brand sausage that you would buy at any supermarket. Nothing special. I did enjoy the chicken which was the only redeeming feature of the meal. The only other comment I would add is that the food (and everyone elses food) was not very hot. The fries also appeared to have been heated up by re-​frying them which gave them a unique greasy yet brittle texture.
Despite there being very few other diners it was difficult to get service, I found myself on the several occasions waving madly to attract attention. The food might have been American style but the service was not. The place was also very hot with no air conditioning — and no blinds either so I spent the entire time with intense sun in my eyes.
To top everything else off someone came in off the street with a dog on a piece of string who seemed to know the staff. The dog seemed to be more enthusiastic about my food than I was.
This place is a great idea but so poorly executed, all in all a disappointing experience.

I have been here twice and both visits were on a Sunday afternoon.
First time we went was lovely we had milkshakes which were delicious. I ordered steak which was cooked to perfection and really enjoyed it, however my partner wanted chicken and they had no chicken at all so any chicken dishes could not be ordered which he was gutted about. They said they had been so busy that they had ran out which is fair enough these things happen I suppose.
So we went back again another Sunday thinking it would be better this time as I enjoyed my food last time, however again they had no chicken. The manager was very apologetic but how did they not learn from the previous Sundays that they needed to stock up on more chicken??? In fact it wasn’t just chicken this time, the manager had typed up a menu and handed it to us which only had a selected few items from the main menu as they had ran out of everything else. We had already ordered our milkshakes by then so we decided we would have them and go somewhere else as menu was so small we did not want any of it.
The manager did feel bad that we couldn’t eat there so he did say we did not have to pay for our milkshakes which was a good gesture, however we paid anyway.
This is a new restaurant and not a great start on the two times I have visited there so defiantly will not return as they have had my second chance.

I was so excited to try Gas & Co but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations.
I ordered the an orea milkshake & cheeseburger and chips and I specifically asked for my burger to be well cooked. When it came out it looked lovely & the chips were in a cute little metal basket which was a nice touch. Sadly the burger was pretty chewy & still pink inside, this massively put me off as i did ask for it to be well cooked. I did eat around the pink parts though but it wasn’t that great. Chips were a huge let down, they were undercooked and tasted a bit cheap. Milkshake was lovely though and was served in a metal glass to keep cool.
No-​one in my party were overly keen on the food some when the waitress came over we did voice our concerns with the meal. The manager then came over and offered to take money off our bill as we weren’t happy & alot of food went to waste.
The place itself looks great but I feel there is abit too much style over substance going on. Customer service was fab though which definitely bumped it from a 1 star.

I was really looking forward to my trip to Gas & Co. I had walked passed it quite a few times and it looks awesome!
Unfortunately the outside is where the awesomeness ended. 4 of us and a toddler had lunch on Sunday and all ordered different dishes. Between us we had: Mac & Cheese with chilli, cheese burger, hot dog and an American breakfast.
The burger was uncooked in parts and tough in others. The hot dog had a really tough skin and want easy to eat. The chips on both of these dishes were uncooked. Everything on breakfast was disappointing. The mac and cheese was the only dish that was OK. But it was just that, OK!
We all ordered milkshakes; they were tasty but not very cold.
The service was good. We told them at the end that were we unhappy and they handled it well.
All in all it was a disappointing experience. If the service wasn’t as good this would be one star — which says a lot about the food!
