Advantages: Good food, apparently family friendly

Disadvantages: Service a bit lacklustre

I went to Tootsies for lunch with my mum today. It's a chain restaurant with branches in many major towns and cities across England.

Their main specialty is burgers and to be honest, they do these particularly well. They are substantial though so sharing my be an option!

You don't need to book a table, as you will be seated on arrival by a server. I expect if you need a large table or wanted to eat on Valentine's day or similar, you may need to phone ahead.

Their drinks are reasonably priced and at the branch I went to (Reading) they have a bar as well as table service. There were only three beers (San Miguel, Becks, and Heineken) to choose from although their wine list is pretty good.

There is a good selection of starters, some for individuals and some for sharing, there are also a couple of healthy options if that's your thing!

I don't have children so can't comment from that point of view, however there were plent of youngsters in the restaurant so I presume it's family friendly. Apparently there are activity packs and a specially designed children's menu.

Alongside the previosly mentioned burgers, there are veggie options, steak, chicken (can be ordered instead of beef in a burger), rice dishes etc etc. They also have seasonal menus-this depends on the branch.

The service was ok, not great, and the decor was a little drab but-you can't have everything!

I googled the restaurant before I went and joined their VSP club which meant I got a £10 voucher emailed to me. Apparently they send out offers periodically. You can also use Tesco Clubcard points to pay for your meal. Their webste is at: www.tootsiesrestaurants.com you can look for your nearest branch and join their VSP club!

Summary: Get on their website and become a Very Special Person!
