We saw the reviews of City Picnic and decided to book a table.
The guy serving us was lovely and very welcoming. But they were clearly very short staffed. We weren’t in a hurry though, so went with the flow.
We ordered our food, which included a kids meal, and some sides. One of the sides (chicken tenders) came out very quickly and was excellent. The mains then soon followed.
We asked for some mayo and ketchup and was told they had run out of the latter! I’ve been to plenty of burger restaurants in my time and never has that happened. Given that this is central Belfast, surely someone could have popped out and got a few emergency bottles to tide them over?
We also ordered some mozzarella sticks, which hadn’t arrived. So we caught the waiter’s attention and he seemed surprised and asked if we were sure. We said we definitely hadn’t got them. Off he went and 30 seconds later came back with them - they had obviously been sitting on the side, as they were stone cold. Which was a shame, as they were nice even when cold, so I can only imagine how good they would have been had we got them when they’d just come out of the kitchen.
The burgers were delicious and I had the sweet potato fries, which were delicious.
It took a while for our empty plates to be cleared and we asked for the dessert menu, only to be told that they weren’t serving desserts. Our kids were very disappointed, especially as the kids menu includes the ice cream option which our 9-year old had clocked when choosing his meal.
We asked for the kids meal to be taken off the bill. When I went to pay, I was asked how the food was and mentioned the mozzarella sticks and they were taken off too.
It was such a shame, as the burgers really were great but everything else was average and I did feel for the servers who were clearly under pressure. As for the ketchup, that could have been easily solved I do hope this was just a bad night. Given that we don’t live in Belfast, we’re unlikely to be back.
