Fifty Three Bar/grill 53 The Square, Market Harborough LE16 7PA

"Lovely, hot food and quick service. Decently priced too!"

"Outside looks welcoming and on first impression walking inside, felt the decor suited the overall theme of a bar/grill. Sat around for a while before realising it wasn't table service (no one told us because we weren't welcomed or greeted by any of the staff). After looking at the menu which features a good selection of burgers but not much else, went to the bar to order. Grumpy blonde inputted order into the til and processed the transaction which was the full extent of the interaction. She then went back to standing around and having the odd chat with a few mid-morning local/regular/drinker types that for one reason or another hadn't gone to Weatherspoons instead. Waited too long for food for the amount of people in there, maybe 3 tables at most, feel they would struggle if it was half full. The quality of the burger meat was average and dry. Chips were the best part about the meal. Accompanied by a flaccid garnish of semi-wet salad. Salt and pepper from a packet. As I ate my meal the sad reality set in that my high hopes for what the outside offered had not been met whilst wondering if I should be looking at blue-roll and cleaning equipment on display whilst forcing myself to enjoy what i’d just paid £27 for. I watched as my friend next to me (who was expecting a frankfurter with sauerkraut) began eating not-sausage, but a burger decorated with a tinned hot dog cut into strips and artistically placed in a star-like fashion underneath his bun. If this was my business, I would hire pro-active friendly staff and offer table service. The place lacks passion for the brand. I would take the menu they have, improve the contents of the plate and reduce the amount of burgers and add some other grill type items such as ribs, steaks and chicken. The inside smelt a little bit like stale beer. It would not take much at all to improve this business tenfold."

"We attempted to go here back in the summer for breakfast. Male waiter kept us waiting whilst serving others around us outside. Seemed to avoid us because of having a small child who didn't want to sit still and was getting impatient. Rather than help, he just stared at us every time he came out, presumably waiting for us to give up and go away. Will avoid in future."

"We visited around 11am a Sunday morning. We sat outside on the very clean and well laid out seating area. We were greeted by a friendly and smiling staff member. Who went and got us our menus. We ordered 2 full English breakfast and 1 of the bacon and sausage barms with chips. Again served by a very friendly and smiling member of staff. (There was 2 female staff members working and 1 male, front of house staff that is) The food quality was outstanding. Every part of the breakfast was cooked perfect and the very best of quality. Overall this is a very reasonably priced, amazing quality and friendly. Will definitely be returning when we come back down to Market Harborough."

"Staff were friendly but, one of them didn't seem too happy. I had a Californian club Panini which was nice but I found a bit dry, could of done with a bit more Dijon Mayo. The Panini wasn't really a Panini but a baguette cooked in a Panini grill by the looks of the markings. Apart from that it was a nice visit."
