Atkinsons Restaurant — Restaurant in Sheffield

We visit Atkinsons Restaurant (on the 1st floor) almost every week for lunch; we have also tried their breakfast. We are very happy with the food there; refreshingly, the selection available looks like comforting home-cooked food, very different from the "defrosted-from-a-packet" offerings found at many other places. The most important thing for us is the outstanding customer service we experience in the restaurant. The staff are really friendly and take time to get to know all their regular customers. They couldn't be more helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. We really appreciate their efforts to make our experience while dining there as good as possible, and the interest they take in our preferences and what they can do to address these. I think this is the only department store remaining in Sheffield that has a restaurant; it also seems to be the only place in the city centre that you can visit on a regular basis to get a traditional cooked lunch: everywhere else is just fast food.

Went in Atkinsons restaurant today with my 3 year old son and mum for breakfast, we had a 10 item, 8 item and a kids breakfast, if i could give 10 stars I honestly would, its cliched but when i say 'the best breakfast' but i honestly mean it, freshly cooked local produce, the manageress and staff couldnt do enough for us, sons a really fussy eater and he ate everything which says a lot, the quality and value is 2nd to none, and the homemade scones, WOW! Will definately be returning next time I'm in town. My son loved the kids area, kept him occupied for the hour we spent there, plenty for him to engage with. Lovely warm atmosphere, lots of regulars, the staff knew 90% of the customers by name which is lovely to see, going that extra mile to make people feel welcome

Well done and well deserved...

After a bad experience at this cafe a few years ago, I thought I would give it another go.

Sadly, the cheese and tomato quiche was a complete let-down. The filling had far too much milk in the mix and the server had difficulty keeping the intended slice together in one piece, and I also noticed the pastry was raw. I asked the server to pass on my comments which were "pastries for quiches and custards etc should be blind baked which theirs weren't and should use less milk or more eggs and cheese to help make this dish more edible. The only part of their quiche and sides that tasted of anything and held their shape were the tomato, chips and peas.

Gutted once again! Pre 2016, this cafe was the place to go, but it has gone right down hill in my personal and...
