What an amazing place this is. I always enjoy coming here and my visit on Monday the 20th of May was no different. Always welcoming staff who can provide a class service. We were sat promptly by the lovely waitress who gave us a pick of tables. She was very warm, friendly and efficient. The menu is amazing, there's something for everyone. I opted for a cocktail, which, to my surprise, was hand shaken. Quite the rarity in a normal blackpool restaurant. I had the raspberry mojito, which was amazing, and my partner had a latte. We shared a hummus and sourdough bread to start. The bread came warm, and the hummus was lovely. My partner opted for the surf and turf cooked rare, and I enjoyed a 6oz fillet steak cooked med rare. Both were cooked to perfection. As sides, we had the garlic butter, red wine jus, and a portion of filthy fries. For good measure, I ordered a strawberry daiquiri with my meal, which, again, was just amazing. Every bit of our food was delicious, and my partner agreed. Every time I've dined at the eating inn, it exceeds my expectations. It's a credit to the area, and I will be enjoying many more meals to come. The eating inn is THE steakhouse of blackpool as a local I will never suggest anywhere else.

We come to Blackpool for our 4th anniversary. I said to the Mrs please, are you OK with steak but from a proper steak house. Yes she replied. Found this place on Google search. We went in, in person to book to get a feel for the place. Lovely welcome even though we were just in there to book a table. We went in to eat on 30th October 2024. From the time we stepped foot in, the experience continued to be outstanding. It wasn't just ine member of staff, if was the whole overall team who made it perfect. I had the 8oz sirloin with a side of house salad. The Mrs has lasagna. We also had both choices of garlic bread. Food was outstanding and service continued to be outstanding. Nothing and I mean nothing was too much for this amazing team. Don't walk past knowing you've read this and not going in. Just don't even think about it. Go in, experience it for yourself. You pay for quality and quality is what you get. I don't tip but I tipped £20 for the team. A message to the manager, what ever you're doing, DO NOT change. Staff are amazing. Also, lastly, I mentioned to a member of the team I've been to Marco Pierre White in birmingham, the cube. This place in Blackpool was better than Marco's in my opinion. Thanks again.

"SCAMMERS", they seemed friendly, the food deserved 4 stars, but in the end I wanted to vomit because they were so shameless, as you can see that we were tourists and we spoke little English. As seen in the photos of 2 Erling's menu 3 Courses £20.00 per person, we consume separately; a bottle of wine £34.00, two coffees £4.00, 1 King Prawn £9.00 extra that we ordered separately with starters, they cost us £102.50 (photo) and there were many things included, we discussed the values and they made another receipt for £98.50 (photo) that was still SCAMING us on our face,.... we continued arguing and they were for next calculations not worth £95.50, the third time I no longer felt like arguing, I felt offended and scammed without knowing what to do, I preferred to pay so as not to complicate things, (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION FOR ANYONE, SCAMMERS, LACK OF RESPECT WITH CUSTOMERS) I am not the first to complain, there are more comments than when you have the opportunity They make them, I'm waiting for you to tell me what happened.

Have tried this place few months ago on an early afternoon everything perfect only one other table in at the time. So reserved a table for 3 this Sunday arriving to a totally full restaurant but escorted to a reserved table at 6pm. I ordered the exact same meal and guess what it came out 100% as the first time I had ordered the meal the staff are excellent the food is spot on you would never have guessed you where in a restaurant with every table full inside and out the staff did not miss a beat the manager of this place and the team are the best I have been served by on past 2 years so food amazing staff amazing will be back next time in Blackpool. Visit again this week and happy to try the starter this time what a lovely change for Blackpool Prom all the starters are home made and you can tell if you like your food especially stake do your self a treat visit you will not be disappointed my favourite place to eat on the past few years. Visiting several times now and it’s lovely to have such excellent consistency every time.

A rare gem. A golden nugget we stumbled on while looking at the stars above while thinking ''all pretty things must have left this place in a hurry''. Well no, I read some of the positive comments ... Yesterday, we had the sirloin steak with pepper sauce and a bottle of Rioja tinto, Tempranillo - bodegas Larchago. The cuisson was 'bleu' just as we asked for. The pepper sauce was quite good. Served with pommes pont-neuf and some vegetables. It really was nice. I came back today and had the pan-baked fresh sea bass. It's a surprise to find out they do catch un-battered fish in those mighty seas and oceans. A glass of white wine - a Pinot grigio, Pirovano from Veneto, Italy - was perfect as accompanying golden liquid. (Fits with the nugget.. 😁) We'll be back! Next Saturday. And a special thanks for the great music! ------ I'm a little disappointed with your automated reaction. I took the time to write this comment. You should take the time to answer it in a personal and nice way.

Booked to eat here 3 weeks prior to my visit to Blackpool as a treat. I would highly recommend doing this as it gets really busy. What can I say. We were greeted by down to earth ladies where nothing was to much trouble. The service was excellent and the food was to die for. I am fussy over my steaks and they got it spot on. The steak really did melt in your mouth. I had an 8oz fillet and my partner had the surf and turf which on there own where £24 & £30. we added Diane and pepper corn sauces and onion rings with 2 pints of lager which came to a grand total of £72. For me this was excellent value for money. The restaurant is clean and well decorated and has a really nice ambience. I have added pictures but they do not do it justice, the steaks are really juicy and thick and the chips are fantastic. If your in Blackpool treat yourself, you wont be dissapointed.
