"We went on a Tuesday evening at about 6pm for our daughters birthday, family of four. We live locally and have used, and always enjoyed, Blacks and their burgers have been exceptional and never had cause to complain. They have recently had a refit, and it feels like it's removed all the atmosphere from the restaurant I can't put my finger on it, but something was missing. The staff barely spoke to us, he gave the menus but no explanation as to what to do, not a real problem, as we've been before but a simple bit of conversation wouldn't have hurt. Once our food was delivered, he never came and said is everything OK, when he cleared the dishes there was no was that OK, do you rant a dessert. Just nothing. Once again there are no non alcoholic beers on the app, so you spend ages loading your order on to the app and then have to go up to the till and order the drinks anyway... The temperature is the restaurant was close to freezing, to the point where it was uncomfortably cold. Both my kids wanted to keep their coats on, which doesn't make for a relaxed meal. Food was OK. Burgers were good, but not as amazing as they have been in the post, the beef was a bit tough in places, chips a bit cold and onion rings straight out of the freezer! And nothing was particularly warm, not cold but could have been alot warmer.. When it's over £150 for mains, puddings and drinks you just expect a bit more but today we got a lot less.. Very disappointing and doubt we will return now. There are better places in Epsom to eat nowadays..."

"It's a lovely little hut with beautiful views right across Epsom Downs at lunch time there will sometimes be 30 minute queues, he mostly serves one person at a time, occasionally takes 2 orders at once, but it is SO WORTH THE WAIT! You will get a tray for your food which you can do what you please with, take it to your car, take it to the grass nearby or even over to the downs, and pop it back when you're finished. Keith has run this place for years, I'm almost 30 now and I remember him from when I was a kid, I've been there at least 100 times over the years and I've not had one bad experience he is very polite, accommodating, nothing is too much trouble and he obviously works his backside off. Through COVID he has mostly been working alone, long hours, 7 days a week, with a bit of help from his mother, so the brand new car now parked out back and now being closed on Monday is truly deserved. The food is unrivalled in it's price bracket as in, we pay 15 20 quid for 3 people and get food that is easily worth twice the price, even including a nice homemade cake to finish everything off, but I'm so glad it doesn't cost that much because it's just so worth it, everyone can afford it and enjoy it, I don't know what deal he has on that little hut but he is able to charge very reasonable prices for very good food, and the view that comes with it is the icing on the cake, we usually get a cheese and bacon burger, veggie burger, and 3 chips (1 for my daughter) with either cold or hot drinks and some cakes, maybe an ice cream for the daughter. The bread is delicious, the burgers are delicious, and the chips are nice and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside you never now which shape chips you'll get, crinkled or straight but that is part of the magic of this place. The cakes are homemade by Keith's mother and taste a million times better than any of the dry sorry pieces of card you'll find in Costalot or Stealbucks!!! There's just something about all of it the whole experience, it's not 5 star dining, it's just good old grub, served with a smile and a brilliant view of the Racecourse our very own Queen Lizzy likes to visit. What is not to love? Don't change anything Keith it's perfect as it is. I know as soon as Keith retires, unless he personally oversees the handover, it's going to be come yet another gentrified 20 pound per person piece of dog droppings we see popping up everywhere these days, I know for a fact if that happened you'd see a petition with 1000s of names on to change that, I'd sign it. I promise you if you have ever had a bad experience here, if you told Keith I know he would put it right, or he would have a very good reason as to why, he doesn't mess about. Best place in the whole of Epsom to eat for me, no doubts. Don't forget to get your mince pies here every Christmas, starting I think some time in November, but might be late October, they are the best mince pies on the planet, you can pre order a batch of them to take home or get one there and then to eat."
