John St Kitchen — Restaurant in Sheffield

I went to John St Kitchen due to the high rating of 4.8 stars. Maybe I just went on bad day, we all have them. My rating is based on the overall experience but obviously the quality of food is the big one for cafes and restaurant's. I had the full Monty and it was more like a half Monty, (see the picture). The breakfast was very mediocre in quality, the sausage, mushrooms and tomato was all a bit charred. To be honest it would been fine but the breakfast costs £9.50 and another two quid for the pot of tea. The that amount other places you either get more food for that price like two of most items or you jus get a higher quality meal. The Hendersons relish mushrooms didn't have any Henderson on them either . The staff were very friendly and it's a nice enough café, pretty big, plenty of seating inside and out.

The food here is not terrible but it's very expensive for...

I ate lunch with some friends at John St Kitchen today. It was my first visit and I really enjoyed it. The place has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, great food, clean facilities, and the books on the bookshelves make either for a good conversation starter or just something interesting to browse while waiting for your food. The only thing I can knock is that it was a little chilly in there on a February lunchtime, but we did choose to sit by the door, so that's fair enough. For lunch I had the cheeseburger - as expected, it was a million times better than anything from a fast-food "restaurant", and for a really reasonable price - followed by a slice of delicious lemon (and poppy seed)...

I think there's some huge potential in this business, it's running great and the food is fab. The drinks were nice too. It would be great to see more on the menu as it's new and was a little limited, but the food we did get was yummy. I'm hoping there's a little flair on side salads which would make this place fabulous as the staff were really nice. I'm excited to see this become a secret hot spot for fantastic lunch...
