Reviews Summary

Behind The Wall is praised for its delicious food, including standout dishes like chicken and waffles and massive portions of nachos. The service is consistently described as friendly, attentive, and welcoming, even accommodating large groups and those with pets. While most experiences are positive, some reviewers have noted occasional lapses in service, such as being forgotten after dessert or issues with sound quality during live events.

"The Chicken and waffle is amazing, right amount of spice. The Sombrero Nachos (picture) are DELICIOUS, perfect pulled pork. The beer (Peroni) is a little bit expensive but worth it. There is a park just in front that is free on Sunday. The bar is beautiful and cosy. Music on the right volume. Pet friendly. Waiters are super nice."

"Lovely food. Great service .
Food is delicious and comes out looking great. The cocktails are a must try plus the raspberry lemonade was lush.

Thanks to the staff who waited on us as a table of 8. Very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. It made for an enjoyable lunch.

Thank you!"

"~4.5/5 if I could. A great and accommodating western (Tex Mex + a few other options) restaurant with a huge drinks menu. I recommend sit in for large groups and will definitely go again if I am in the area.

Me and a group of 10 came walked in and they had a place (not busy at the time). We ordered a few starters and a variety of mains. Feedback was almost completely positive.

Starters were good. One friend complained the beef was a little dry on his skewers.

Their mac and cheese was among the best I had from restaurants. Very rich and cheesy without being overpowering, salty or pasty. The maple bacon on mine had a sweetness and smokiness that paired well.

Their fish and chips and fish loaded fries (the same except the size) were amazing. I am a sucker for good fries and these guys do it well. So crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Fish was crispy, tartar sauce was good wish they gave more.
Other items like pizza, loaded nachos, beef & haggis burger were all good with generous portions. A personal complaint is that their southern fried chicken lacked seasoning (though my Scot friend who ordered it greatly enjoyed, I suppose catering to the population in the area is actually a big plus).

Desserts were mostly good. I highly recommend the icky sticky (toffee pudding), chocolate brownie and cheesecake. Their caramel is genuine (not from a jar/bottle, probably made in house or just a really good buy) and amazing on the cheesecake. However, the salted caramel brownie barely had any, which was disappointing. It was still a good dessert, just not as good as the others and lacked what the name mentioned. Churros were also nice.

They accommodate dietary requirements well, however I am unsure if any of their meat is halal (they serve pork regardless). They have some gluten free and vegan options. We did not order any of the few international items on the menu (better stick to the main theme of the restaurant, we thought).

They have a huge drinks and whisky section, and hold whisky tastings. We did not try as we had Muslim friends at the table. However, I do recommend their restaurant for whisky enjoyers."
