The Dessert Kings — Restaurant in Great Britain

Me and my friends went to get some food here, I ordered the smallest portion of chicken wings and my friends initially ordered pepperoni pizzas and milkshakes. I went up to the till to take my order and everything was fine until they said there was no pepperoni left? (I thought this was odd, seeing it was a Friday night) My friends changed to another pizza and we gave them the money. Then after I paid they told me that one of their pizza stoves wasn’t working and that it’d take 10 minutes between every pizza and I was thinking “why didn’t you tell us that at the till?”. We would’ve changed our order or went somewhere else happily. Then it took 30 mins for the first pizza to arrive and my small portion of wings and it took another 20 for the other pizzas. Not to mention, we also found plastic in one of the milkshakes. None of the food...

In an unassuming building (apart from the giant sign), on Johnstone high-street there hides a sweet little bit of heaven...

My partner and I were driving down the road when we spotted Desert Kings and decided, as I hadn't had a milkshake in years, to pop in and see what the place was about.

An object lesson in not judging a book by its cover. I was amazed when the utilitarian, Bauhaus exterior gave way to a colourful 50's-style diner interior: complete with booths and neon lighting.

The owners have gone to some effort to give the place the right vibe and the food/drink matches as well. The milkshakes were tremendous, as were the loaded fries (a portion-size fit to choke a horse). We will most certainly be back... probably...

Very cheerful staff, nice looking place and great choice of food. Went in because we had a disappointing meal in a restaurant close by, so had a bit of a laugh with the staff about still being hungry, they promised us we won't be hungry when we leave there! I chose banoffee waffles and he chose Knickerbocker glory. Didn't have to wait long, portions were more than decent and my waffle was delicious, fluffy with a nice crunch round the edges, the sauce was lovely and a good amount of ice cream and squirty cream too. The glory was huge and of course I had to help out, Banana slices and real strawberry slices, mix of flavours of ice cream, nice and messy. They made sure we weren't still hungry on the way out. Very satisfied...
