Unit — Restaurant in Sheffield

10 of us travelled from London and after a long day walking around the peak district we retired to our hotel in Sheffield before heading out to find some halal food around 10pm. Our first thought was Nandos but we were surprised to find it and other local restaurants were already closed by this time. A Google and a quick look on trip advisor and we found "Unit" and decided to check it out as it closed at 11. Located on some quiet dubios looking back roads of the city centre, Unit is a diamond in the rough. When we arrived, we were asked if we had pre booked, which we had not but they were still able to accommodate all 10 of us. Orders were made online by following a link on a QR code, selecting our table and food from the menu and paying for it all online. The one thing that was a let down here was that we had to register on the website and supply our personal details such as name, address, number and email add, before we could place our order. Which is fine in itself but a bit of a chore when you are a larger group and each of us is registering to make our separate orders. The food was freshly cooked once the order went through and the quality was excellent. 5 stars for food quality and another 5 stars for service. I personally went for a double patty fried buttermilk chicken burger and a side of Suicide wings (note that they are not kidding around with the suicide wings, they are lethal! With great difficulty, sweat and tears and with my throat on fire, I managed to eat two wings before giving up on it, other family members got the normal chilli chicken wings which were much more manageable) Note that this place is not cheap for Sheffield/the North. Easily London prices at an average of about £15 per person. Decor and atmosphere was good and there was a chalk board wall you could sign on your way out. Will definitely check it out again the next time we are in Sheffield but minus the...

So we booked a meal here for my Son’s 12th Birthday 21/03/2023, in his words he wanted the best burger place in Sheffield, so after a few reviews read and a few you tube videos watched we settled on The Unit Burger bar in Sheffield. Our experience was as follows! So we ordered 5 burgers 4 Sides and 5 drinks (Glass Bottled Coke) The first issue we had is the online QR code menu system it was slow and not easy to customise your order (This was remedied by the waitress) Unfortunately the lady took our order wrong 3 times meaning that my youngest son didn't actually get his burger until we were ready to leave this really annoyed us as we had stated to get ready to leave. Lets talk Burgers, the beef patties were cooked well but unfortunately under seasoned and over all very underwelming, the chicken was lovely however! but the toppings were lacking, the onion rings looked epic but the batter had barely cooked through on them so they had a slightly chewy doughy like consistency, the brisket was more like sliced beef and not the succulent moist bbq flavoured brisket I would have expected. The sides however were decent and the cheese sauce was lovely. The fries were unsalted and no salt was on the table nor did anyone ask if we needed any (we asked for it 3 times and didn't get any) so in the end we left the majority of the fries. We even asked for BBQ sauce to try and give the fries some flavour, we were given 2 tiny pots :( I did ask for more and it was brought out when the fries were cold.

The manager did discount my sons burger from the total cost however this was still almost £100 I don't mind paying that much for a quality experience however the whole experience was lacking and I’ve had better burgers in Sheffield for half the price.

The best thing we enjoyed was the branding for the business it was awesome and the kids loved the stickers.

Overall 5/10 I would suggest...

This place for me is Sheffield's hidden gem, the place is out the way and looked different from the outside but when you come in you can see the effort that's been made.

The food was lovely, portions are large and well done in all areas. The onion rings in particular were extra special. The burgers vary in size depending on what you order and the customisation is off the charts with the ability to add all sorts of add-ons. I won't list as I will be here for ages however the full menu can be found online and they deliver which is an extra bonus. The options for vegetarians and vegans was also impressive with more variety that I would have expect for a place this small. The fires are lovely too I ordered the sweet potato but someone else got normal and both lovely. Normal didn't look very crispy in colour but was lovely none the less.

MILKSHAKES ARE TO DIE FOR! I love milkshakes and will often try them anywhere I go and but I think these take the 1st place, the range isn't as good as I would like but the salted caramel one was amazing and the thickness of them shows the quality of what you are ordering. Creamy and thick with tons of flavour, there is resistance when putting the straw through which I think says it all.

Atmosphere isn't the most important but can help make a meal out even nicer and this place does not disappoint, small and simple with comfy setting and well setup areas. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough and to end your visit you have the ability to get stickers and/or pins of their little logos.

To sum up I would highly recommend and will look forward to going back and maybe trying a...
