2knives Kitchen in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing place. Went for meal with husband as part of our Anniversary weekend away and enjoyed every minute. Food was fantastic and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend 👌

Great place that know customer service! We arrived late and the kitchen had just closed, they very kindly turned the grills back on and allowed us to order. Great beers great food, happily recommend

I come here quite often with my husband and our dogs. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the food especially the pancakes is amazing . My only complaint is that they always have iced tea advertised but it never seems to be available!

What a great find! Food and service were excellent. Thank you.

This is definitely a hidden gem and one of my favourite places to eat in Newcastle. The burgers are amazing and the staff super friendly. Would come more often if it was possible!

Great pancakes and sandwich. Really great coffee. And amazing staff.

Amigos nuestros visitan aquí con frecuencia, así que decidimos darle una oportunidad. Pequeño lugar y ubicación peculiar, pero bien vale la pena encontrarlo. Jim comió hamburguesa Classic y yo comí hamburguesa Haggis con papas fritas. Una de las mejores hamburguesas que ambos hemos probado, todo sobre ellas era perfecto. El servicio fue genial, el personal muy amable Necesidad de probar el menú de desayuno

What a cool place, staff are great, food is excellent and all topped off with good beers and country music. Coffee and pie is a must too.

I got the Buffalo Biscuits (blue cheese sour cream and franks hot sauce), which was delicious! The service was quick and friendly! They also take care of your parking which is great

Its really delicious, there is nothing more to say! Many greetings from Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Lovely friendly staff and probably the best burger I've ever eaten

Excellent breakfasts. Great service.

Encontré este fabuloso pequeño restaurante / pub en el patio Holts. Aparecimos sin reserva y fuimos cálidamente recibidos por el personal encantador que fue capaz de hablarnos a través de opciones de comida y bebida del menú. La comida era deliciosa, la mayoría de nosotros teníamos una variedad de hamburguesas caseras de carne de res o pollo, la hamburguesa más sabrosa que he probado! ¡Las hamburguesas de halloumi también se veían deliciosas! Todo a un precio muy razonable. Las áreas de estar interiores y exteriores están bien posicionadas creando un ambiente encantador, ya sea comiendo / bebiendo en pareja o grupos más grandes. El personal sin duda contribuyó a la noche encantadora que tuvimos, eran amables, acogedores y bien informados. Definitivamente volveré allí! 👏

Honestly the best burger in Newcastle, the staff were super nice too.

Life IS gravy with this delicious breakfast. First time having biscuits & gravy and it was so good. Generous portions, friendly service, excellent food & dog friendly. Can’t wait to go back to try the burgers.

Best Sunday dinner in NCL, loads of meat and the best stuffing I've ever had.

The best burgers, the best hot chocolate and the nicest staff. Would highly recommend. We just love coming here as a family and as a couple.

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere highly recommend!

Our most recent visit was actually our third visit but they've been in quite quick succession since finding this gem of a place! Our most recent trip was to cap off my own birthday celebrations and as per usual the burgers absolutely hit it out of the park. My intention is always to get the Turf n Turf burger but the specials that they have on always win! There are worse situations to be in. On our most recent visit, I had the special BBQ burger which I believe had slices of BBQ Pork Belly and a side of their Parm and Truffle fries. The burgers are incredible, juicy, and tasty, you can just tell they're freshly prepared and made with passion. We shared a portion of onion rings. I can't remember what burger my girlfriend had, I know she thoroughly enjoyed it, but she did have the Buffalo Fries which I sampled and they were lovely too! Our original visit was planned to get something to eat before a gig, in February, around the corner at The Grove for two couples. We had booked but my girlfriend and I decided to visit before that for breakfast. The breakfast was incredible. After we got seated I quickly realised just how much I was going to enjoy the place. They were playing country music so knew instantly I'd found somewhere that knew what was what! Breakfast was incredible, the biscuits in particular were done really well. As someone who's spent some time in America, this plate of breakfast food was just as good as some plates I'd eaten while in the States. Staff have always been lovely on every single visit. The atmosphere is incredible. It's just a great place to eat. I'd recommend booking a table and I'll definitely be back.

Amazing food!! We both had chicken burgers which I wouldn't normally go for but I can't wait to go back and have another one.... The side dipping gravy was divine and the fries AMAZING! Really friendly staff made us feel so welcome! Such a cool area.

Amazing food and friendly staff

We discovered this place last year and now visit at least every three weeks or so - it’s that good. Their breakfast speciality is biscuits and gravy; but not biscuits like custard creams, that would just be weird. I think they’re American versions of biscuits - much more savoury. But we visit more for lunch and here the focus is on burgers and they are really flavoursome as are the fries and you can opt for Parmesan and truffle option. Up until now they’ve only opened on Fridays and Saturdays but today was their first Sunday opening for Sunday lunch with an option of salted beef, smoked turkey or pork belly. It was a great portion size, delicious and cooked perfectly so hopefully they will continue with their Sunday opening. There’s always a great atmosphere and the staff are really nice. Top tips - reserve a table - you can take a chance as a walk in but don’t be surprised if there are no burgers left. Also - take your own mirror 😉

Great burger and well priced . As per previous reviews. Hidden gem Local beer as well from the brewery over the road

I love this place. Great burgers and local beers. My 4th visit and it remains my ‘ go to ‘ place for burgers in Newcastle.

You can't beat the food😋, the service or the atmosphere! I was very surprised how reasonable the bill was! Fantastic establishment 5⭐️🌟⭐️

I cannot even express into words how good this place is! It is a total hidden gem, I’ve been multiple times for both the breakfast menu and lunch/evening menu. I’m slowly trying to make my way through the menu, but all food is fresh and tasty! Even though most of the food is fried it’s never greasy or oily! It’s always been perfectly crisp! The staff are so friendly and even after our first visit remembered our faces the next time we went it! A true wholesome experience, with great food!

Great American style breakfast - and well priced. They'll validate your parking too!

This place was recommended by a work colleague. It was amazing we tried a few different things and can say we weren't disappointed. The pancakes are unreal and the maple syrup was delicious almost like a caramel sauce 🥞🤤. The biscuits were gorgeous by themselves even better with the gravy. Atmosphere was warm and friendly and the music appropriate for the setting. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. We'll definitely be calling in again soon. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Stunning brekky!! Lovely staff. Will be returning

Love this place! The food is to die for and the service is always perfect. We just can't stay away!

The genuine warmth of hospitality is matched only by the fantastic food which is served. When we have friends and family visit there is only one place I want to introduce them to and that is 2knives. My father isn't a fan of burgers, and by Fan I mean it's not something he'll choose on a menu. He loved everything about his experience at 2K. Thank you Sophie for making Dad have such a memorable time!!

From the moment you walk in the door this place is southern hospitality at its finest! Sophie, David, and the team are consistently sending out some of the best burgers, biscuits, and pancakes I've had the joy of trying. Outstanding food and service which made me feel right at home even though I hundreds of miles from it. I'm not being dramatic when I say words can't do this place justice, a true gem in the heart of the North East

Home-made sausage patties are excellent and fried eggs are cooked perfectly. Pancakes are American style and very good. Hash browns are ok but need seasoning. Dining in was busy on the day I went, but staff were nice enough.

Best burger we’ve had in a long time, so much love and effort put into everything they make. The burger was seasoned beautifully can’t fault anything ! The staff are lovely - Dave and Sophie the owners can’t do enough for you lovely people . It’s a little hidden gem for sure keep doing what yous are doing guys , see yous next week 😉

If I could give this place 10 stars I would , absolutely gorgeous food so much care goes into everything they make. Burgers are seasoned perfectly and full of flavour. Nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely - the owners Dave and Sophie are amazing can’t do enough for you. Keep doing what yous are doing guys you are all smashing it 😊

Brill place too much food. Great taste great price. We will be back

Delicious food, great vegetarian options, and some of the most welcoming, accommodating, and generous staff I’ve ever encountered. As soon as we stepped inside we were made to feel right at home, and as a fussy vegetarian the lady taking our order made me feel so at ease with tweaking my halloumi burger to make sure it was perfect for me, and it really was! The other burgers being served looked great too, it’s all ‘proper’ food, no nonsense just really tasty and great value for money. New favourite and excited to visit again!

This establishment is a diamond in the rough. This cosy little gem tucked away at the bottom of Byker sells some of the most delicious American 'southern comfort' style grub you'll find in the UK. The breakfast biscuits were sublime and the iced coffee was gorgeous. Very sizeable portions at a reasonable price. Also gotta say we loved the customer service. Such a friendly and stylish team of colleagues working there - a very unique experience. We'll be back again to sample the lunch menu! If you haven't been here at least once, you're missing out on something special.

Fantastic brunch here today. Incredible food, great value and friendly attentive staff, we'll be back😁

Excellent food, attentive and very friendly crew, great dining experience. There’s nowhere to fault it really. Burgers were well loaded but not stodgy and convoluted with silly ingredients. There’s a confidence in a certain simplicity and it was definitely evident here. The gravy was excellent. Beef well cooked. Chicken well cooked and good portions. I’d give 6 stars if I could get a Bloody Mary next time! Bravo.

A hidden gem. Food is superb. Good value for money given the quality of ingredients used.

Great food. Burgers are amazing. Some of the best I’ve had

Fantastic service and unreal food! We'll deffo be back.

This is our third visit now and we came back for the breakfast. Wow! It was the pancakes that appealed so much that we had to come again just to try them. So we opted for the chocolate stack and a 2k breakfast. Both were unbelievable. I would have maybe liked an additional side pot of syrup with the pancakes as an addition, but I am pretty sure if I had asked for that, they would have gave me one. But otherwise, it was exceptional. It's difficult not to be OTT about this place. We've now tried their main menu, the breakfast menu, and the desserts. All have really impressed us. Not only does the food taste amazing and really good portions too, but the people again were just lovely. It's a hidden gem, and I have no doubt that if a Tik Toker paid a visit, like they have at Proven Goods round the corner, then this would be even more popular. I hope that happens, as they deserve to be really successful! But then again, we'd probably struggle to get a seat :-) Check it out, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely fabulous food and great service. Thank you. See you again.

Lovely staff, lovely drinks, and even better burgers. It's as simple as that!

We've just popped into this place after seeing a Tik Tok for a completely different eatery, which happened to be closed. We'd never been to Hoults Yard before at all. Didn't even know it existed, but what a lovely little place 2 Knives is. We had limited time and only wanted a snack, so opted for a slice of the mud pie, which was epic, and some parmesan truffle fries, which were really lovely too! They were so nice and welcoming, and we loved the country music, which created a great atmosphere. Never been before, hadn't even heard of it; but we'll definitely be back to try the burgers and breakfast pancakes. Possibly even tomorrow 😀

Where do I start... I had the 2knives breakfast stack... Basically sweet and savoury pancakes... Amazing... Everything was made fresh. It's conveniently located within Hoults Yard... The staff are extremely friendly and polite..

What a lovely place to visit, hidden gem highly recommended, very warm welcome, good atmospheric feel, quirky comfy furnishings with private booths, very polite happy helpful staff. Amazing food, reasonable price for quality food & service, I had the 2k breakfast with pancakes, very tasty and perfectly cooked, generous portions, my friend had 2k Benny poached eggs on toasted muffins, very nice indeed. Can't wait to return and try other foods. Don't miss out on trying this venue 👌.

Amazing food, brilliant staff and a lovely atmosphere. The BBQ chicken burger was the best I've had. Not normally a chicken fan as it tends to be dry, but this was the exact opposite and delicious. Chips and Gravy also unreal. Service, quality and portion size are all spot on, defiantly worth a trip!

What a hidden Gem! The staff are absolutely amazing. The lovely lady who’s served us apologised profusely that there was no chicken dishes available, but im not surprised after we tasted the quality! The food there is fantastic. No fuss, just good food! We all absolutely loved it and even considered getting another 2 burgers ti share amongst the group afterwards 😂 The staff are absolutely fantastic, the boys in the kitchen had us all laughing and the lady who was serving was just so so kind ( she even bought me a drink on the house with it being my birthday!) 10000% Reccomend ❤️

Great little hidden gem. Burgers are great with great service and all reasonably priced.

First try of this place tonight before we went to play golf. Amazing customer service and burgers were the best I've had, the haggis and halloumi loaded are both worth a try. Will definitely be back!

Great burgers, strongly recommend

Excellent place! Burgers are nuts

Believe the 5*s, the burgers are excellent

Amazing burger place, clearly care about what they do. Came with a big group and they were great with us getting it all out at the same time. Empty plates all round. Really friendly staff.

Amazing burgers and excellent service. I would highly recommend going here if you're looking for great burgers, good beers and friendly service!

Absolutely fantastic spot in Hoults Yard. The food is always amazing, with fresh ingredients and very generous portions. Breakfast is a particular favourite for us and ranges from yummy pancakes (with lots of delicious toppings) to more country style food like biscuits and gravy and proper American breakfast sausage. Having grown up in the Deep South being able to get good biscuits and gravy is a little bit of home/nostalgia. Even better is there’s always country music playing in the background. The biscuits are lovely and flaky and the gravy is hearty and peppery. They’ve also got superb pies (they change each week but staples are the key lime, pecan and brownie). Yummy coffee too with plant milk alternatives. For lunch and dinner there are super yummy burgers and fries. I’m partial to the dipper which is delicious (it comes with a jus to dip your burger into). They’ve got vegetarian options for breakfast and vegan options for lunch/dinner. I’ve had the veggie sausages and they were really good, nice flavour and texture. While the food is fantastic what makes 2Knives really special is how lovely everyone is. Everyone is super friendly, happy to have a chat and makes you feel really welcomed. If you’re ever in Newcastle and wanting somewhere great to have a bite or a drink, definitely head over.

The friendliest staff and absolutely delicious breakfast! Great great coffee and iced tea!

Party of 4 well seasoned burger eaters trying to think of a better burger we've had...we can't. Unanimous agreement that it's an absolute cracking burger. Lush

Best burger in Newcastle and loveliest staff, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - can’t recommend enough

My husband found this place on Google when looking for BBQ restaraunts in Newcastle. We were staying in town while visiting our son so took him out to dinner. It is found on a small industrial complex not far from the river near Byker and you wouldnt find it without directions. The car park is Paytopark, free for 60 minutes but they will validate your car reg so that you dont have to pay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We turned up without a booking and they had no other customers but it was full up when we left later on. The menu isnt huge but if the food is good, it doesnt matter. They had local beer/cider available as well as regular brands in the fridge. Food is cooked to order and I can honestly say that it was one of the best burgers I have ever had with my husband and son agreeing! I had skin on fries and beer battered onion rings with my Jimmy Buffet burger, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Couldnt fit in pudding but they kindly pakaged up some homemade pecan pie to take away. It was delicious! I would thoroughly recommend a visit if you like BBQ, country music and home made food in a great atmosphere.

Friendly staff, fabulous food and drink. Fuffin' fantastic family meal

Awesome burgers. The absolute best!!!!

Great place to eat! Burgers and Fries are absolutely delicious! Will be returning

Called in here yesterday as full circle was busy and not doing Pizza .. and this proves to be a great decision. I had Haggis Burger which was exceptionally good. All of the burgers we had were lovely and the fries were great. They had a good selection of craft beers for a smaller vebue and I settled on one from Full Circle. The venue was full so we sat outside but it was warm and there is a small covered area. The kids were welcomed too and enjoyed being outside. All of the staff were lovely. Service was exceptionally quick and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend this place and will be back again shortly!!

Seriously the absolute best ever burger. Stunning food. The amazing beer is bonus. Thank you guys

2knives is a great, reliable spot with good food, a relaxed atmosphere and a carpark right outside, so ideal for meeting up with friends from all over as everyone can get there. Food is always spot on, although a bit pricey - never disappointing. A highlight used to be the pecan pie, but I've not seen that in a few visits. Hopefully it reappears! The coffees and whatnot are grand, and one of the only places you can get authentic sweet American iced tea (with no silly flavours, although they'll do peach etc if that's what you like). One of my favourite places!

I'm not usually a burger lover but the haggis one U had at 2knives was delicious. Others in our party all agreed the burgers were top quality for taste and size and service was friendly and knowledgeable. Beers on tap were excellent too. Highly recommended

The first time we visited we asked about the biscuits and gravy and were given a taster. They are actually delicious, but we haven’t got round to having them yet as we have had other things off the menu. The breakfasts are fabulous and the pancakes are awesome. The staff are efficient and very friendly and approachable. Burgers next for us I think. And a dessert as they look so good. Go - you will not be disappointed. A hidden gem, don’t all go at once though, we like the current relaxed vibe. We do like to support family businesses in these tough times for hospitality, so we will be back. At the moment they open Fridays and Saturdays

Great place, great food and always really friendly and welcoming.

Great burgers, great beers, spot-on customer service, beer garden. Perfect.

Stopped here unplanned and our group was accommodated no problem. Lovely meal and drinks. Great burgers. Great service. Thank you!

We Love 2knives!! Serving delicious, well made food. This really is One of the best burgers I've ever had from Newcastle to California

I got the Dipper burger and have to say it's One of the best burgers I have ever had and that staff were very friendly will definitely be back

The quality of the beef is exceptional. Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Definitely check this place out.

I’ve eaten burgers all over the world, and this is hands down the best I’ve ever had. They’ve also nailed the atmosphere. The setting, the food, the selection of beer - cannot recommend enough!

There’s a reason this place has an average rating of 5 stars. Never heard anyone say a bad word about it. If you were to remove the food from the equation, which are easily some of the greatest burgers in Newcastle, you are left with a team that exude passion, care, affection and humour. An eclectic mix of people, the staff and the atmosphere of this venue really secure it as an essential visit for anyone looking for authentic, heartfelt food made with love. This group is a testament to the power of independent eateries, reminding us that food isn’t just fuel but a vessel for community, laughter and memories. A relaxed, easy going but vibrant and busy little spot hidden just outside of Newcastle - Two Knives is the embodiment of a hidden gem, snuggled away in Holts Yard. Absolutely worth hunting out, never had an experience that didn’t leave me smiling ear to ear.

We visited for brunch this morning with our little boy after hearing good reviews and it definitely lived up to the reviews. The food was amazing and staff were so helpful. Definitely recommend, one of the nicest places we’ve visited for breakfast!

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Absolutely fantastic quality, full of flavour, great portion sizes, couldn't be any better. Great and friendly staff who couldn't do anymore for you, just a great experience all round!

A real gem of a place! I plumped for the Turf & Turf burger on the advice of my server and he advised me well! The chicken thigh was massive and had a great crispy coating. The burger patty was thick and cooked perfectly as well as having nice flavour. All housed in a nice thick buttered bun. Somewhere I hope to try again on a future visit to the city and highly recommend venturing out to go to this place. The staff were awesome and made it a pleasurable experience.

Stopped in on the off chance when in Newcastle on some business, the food was absolutely excellent , had an absolutely delicious burger, cooked to perfection, the fries were incredible, the onion rings just as good and had a vast array of tasty beers and largers, ciders and soft drinks ! Service was absolutely spot on, lovely staff, great parking and a very very chilled easy competent experience. Would definitely eat here again if in newcastle and definitely recommend to others. 5 stars from me.

Always top banter when I visit 2Knives. Not to mention how fine the truffle fries and Jimmy Buffet burger 🤌🏻🍔 2 for 1 Long islands never go a miss. Looking forward to celebrating my 30th birthday there soon. Go go go!

Absolutely incredible! Hidden gem and I am never surprised when I see they sell out every week.

Best burgers in Newcastle with a fantastic atmosphere. I can't hype the place enough, I absolutely love it. Burgers are great with a decent choice of beef, chicken and veggie options, as well as weekly specials that are usually 10/10. Breakfast pancake stacks are out of this world. They have cocktails too that will knock your socks off. As well as loads of local beer options. These guys are doing something really special and the care and talent is evident.

Great place to pop in for some delicious home cooked food, great drinks and a good catch up

Came all the way from London for their burgers. Absolutely fantastic food. Had their special BBQ smoked belly pork burger. Absolutely fantastic.

Always very Decent, the specials are nice but the haggis burger is still my favourite

Visited for the first time Saturday early evening with a large party booking of 15/20 people with children and babies. The staff were amazing and friendly. Provided great service and nothing was a problem for them. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We will be back again.

The most authentic biscuits and gravy you will get outside of NYC. Absolutely faultless, biscuits with a soft fluffy inside, peppery sausage gravy...honestly I could have been in midtown manhatten

Fantastic staff, great little pub/restaurant.

Really amazing quality food, great hospitality and the sweetest owners to guide our group through the night.

This has to be the best burger place in Newcastle - brilliant food and a great team.

Amazing food amazing staff! Can not say enough about this place. Best vegetarian burger I've ever had. Amazing coffee and whiskey. What's not to like!

Lovely atmosphere and unreal scran!! The loveliest team 🙂

Amazing food, lovely staff, casual, relaxed. Will definitely come back the burgers are fantastic

Absolutely the best burger spot in town!!! Top notch food, excellent selection & the loviest people around who make us feel so welcome every time we have been!
