I rarely leave reviews but my experience here was so terrible I felt compelled to warn others. I joined a large party here on Saturday day and I was excited to try out this new venue in Lincoln. It was all going well until we were seated. The tables hadn't been lined up very well so my partner was about 2 feet away from the table. We re-aligned the tables ourselves and continued with optimism. Unfortunately as soon as the bbq wings arrived we were again dissapointed. I'm sure this is a case of personal taste so I won't bag the flavour as much as I'd like to. The main issue here was that we were given no finger bowls or wipes and as you can imagine our fingers were very sticky. Most people had ordered burgers or ribs for their main course (also very sticky and still no finger bowls) 5 wet wipes were plonked down on the table shortly after but there were 15 people in need of them. My burger was overcooked and dry. The service throughout was lacklustre. The waitresses gave off the impression that they would rather be elsewhere although I imagine that stems from the top. The toilets were out of toilet paper and blocked. There was drilling going on upstairs and just to top of the whole experience they said that they were unable to split the items up on the till. They printed the bill off and insisted we worked out what we each had ourselves and paid for them one by one. I'm sure their tills have a facility to split the items one by one for each customer. We had pre-ordered the food weeks before so no one had the prices in their head. The food was overpriced and the drinks were too. The furnishings were uncomfortable and I suspect that money was saved here. We won't be going back. Repeat custom is something they should be aiming to encourage. I work in the industry and it is such a shame that places like this let it down for...
Read moreWe really don't know where to start! We stumbled across Huckleberrys from a hotel comparison website and what can I say.. so very glad we did.
The fact that it served american food was really a bonus to the nights stay.
Having honeymooned in the states last year we thought we would book a table for food too... which turned out to be an absolute gem.
First off, the hotel. Situated in the epicentre of Lincoln the location could not be better. Parking was included, another bonus. We took our dog Oscar and to be honest, he could not have been better catered for. A pet friendly room and arguably the best seating location in the restaurant. Di and the team are quite clearly pet lovers and this really shows. Do not think for a second that rooms are therfore substandard, if we hadn't of known, you'd never know pets stayed there. If you want yo take your dog to Lincoln - Huckleberrys is the only place I would stay now!!
The food - what can I say. Having holidayed in the states ALOT, the choice of food is never short of endless and this is replicated at Huckleberrys. Starters, mains and deserts. We will be going back to work our way through the menu. Everything we ordered was nothing short of fantastic. Choosing the New York strip on this first occasion was a good choice... partnered with a deep fried mac and cheese bite and sweet potato fries, i was in heaven. The wife choosing a fresh and yet monstrous looking chicken burger.
The staff really made our trip. They could not have done more for us or our furry family member Oscar. We simply cannot wait...
Read moreLocated in one of the back streets of Lincoln, happened upon this place whist looking for somewhere to luncheon. Covid measures were still sort of in place whist being served, telling you to wear a mask yet a lot of the staff didn't seem to be wearing theirs. The drinks were a little expensive I must admit at £2.50 for a coke, which bring me to another bug bear, your menu should consist of actual prices, I know it may "down with the kids" to represent things as a decimal, but it is some what pompous. I mean technically as it doesn't state pounds I could pay you in 2.5 carrots. The service was a little slow, despite not really being busy. And the server seemed to be on a mission from god to sell the onion straw like no tomorrow. But I did enjoy the food when it came and the burger was tasty if a little dry, could really do with some relish. The chips were served in a tiny bucket for some reason and it all sat on a slate. Which I am to understand makes it look arty. The final point I will make is, places like this need. To decide their origin. The food was all very American burger shack, yet the decor and presentation were anything but. Please pick a theme and stick to it.
In summary of the TL:DR = decent enough food if lacking some elements, little overpriced for what it is, expect to wait, don't try and do lunch in under an hour. P.s I'm really not interested in any way in your onion straws, really I'm not, no it's fine I don't want any, no no I...
