Cafe Clock - Stoke on Trent in Stoke-on-Trent

Very disappointed with my takeout meal. Smash Burger quality was pretty standard in comparison with what is available locally, chips were soggy and the naga and buffalo tenders tasted the same. Looked like the tenders from Farmfoods, tossed in some sauce and handed over to me in exchange for my wallet! Mine was the only order they were dealing woth and the staff didn't seem too interested tbh. Way too overpriced. Burger and chips meal with 3 tenders for 2 people cost £30.

food was late but it was still hot and tasted really nice so no biggie really.

staff were great, friendly and welcoming and the food was out of this world

Best burgers around won’t go anywhere else, staff are always polite too

Very good food, I can see why the rating is so high!

Fantastic as always. Have never had a bad meal from here. Always 5 star

Great place and great food! Don't be scared of the extra patties, they serve proper smashed burgers.

Terrible nothing like advertised tasted cold and wet horrible

Cafe Clock is an absolute gem! Their burgers are simply out of this world – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service is equally impressive, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Every detail, from the quality of the food to the warm ambiance, is spot-on. If you’re a burger lover, this place is a must-try. Honestly, it’s a 10/10 experience. Don't miss out!

Great place the food is really nice and the staff were very plight aswell

The Best Smashed Burger In Stoke On Trent Even I can say Best Smashed Burger in West Midlands. Must try Clock Tower Burger it’s heaven. Their spices, Tenderness are Next Level. 100% recommend

Top tier food. My mate even demolished 4 patties in the clock tower burger.

Absolute quality service and food, went with my 3 kids, sitting in is always a headache, but surprisingly the atmosphere and the way the service was they really enjoyed it and felt like home, thank you

I really recommend the clock tower it’s worth the money and I appreciate the customer service

Totally worth having a try the burgers are fire

everything was impeccable, the food, the temperature, the speed of delivery. always perfect, thank you.

This place serves up some of the best smashed burgers I've tasted. I had the "Son of a Bun" and "Pollos Hermanos," and both were amazing. The chips were a standout too, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and way better than the usual fare. The staff were super friendly, and ordering was straightforward. The portions were generous, and even reheating the leftovers the next day, they still tasted great. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

the loaded fries were lovely and the burger was fantastic.

Reviewing cafés and coffee shops isn't typically what I go for, but the buzz about Café Clock serving smash burgers and other savoury options as a café piqued my interest. Intrigued, I decided to explore what makes Café Clock so special. (For a quick summary, please read the last paragraph of this review). Upon entering the quaint and cosy Café Clock, we were soaked from the rain, and the warm ambiance was a welcome relief. However, our initial experience was less than stellar. No one greeted us, leaving us to awkwardly find our own seats. We finally settled into the only available table and began looking at the menu laid out on the table. Our service experience was slightly improved after we were eventually acknowledged, and we had a chance to converse with the café staff. Strangely, the menu was quite unconventional for a café—no coffee or tea in sight. Instead, it featured burgers, fries, and hot dogs. This unexpected twist was confusing, and I felt compelled to rate the service a 3/5. (From this point on, I'll review them as a burger joint rather than a café). After some thought, my brother and I placed our orders. I picked the "Nashville Hot (2 fillets)," while my brother chose the "Clock Tower burger (2 patties)." To share, we ordered a "Philly Cheesesteak" and "Beef and Chicken Loaded Fries." As we waited, we had a chance to rate the décor. The décor was soothing and impeccably clean. The brick walls and beige tones created a pleasant atmosphere, and the assortment of clocks added a unique charm. However, the seating arrangements left much to be desired, with only two main seating areas and a stool section. The pictures of their signature burgers were well-displayed and enticing. Décor-wise, I’d rate it a solid 4/5. When our food arrived, the presentation was impressive, promising a delightful meal; I was judging a book by its cover. The Nashville Hot was an utter disappointment—dry to the point of being like sand, with barely any sauce. The unmelted cheese added a plastic-like taste, making it a disaster. 1/5. Similarly, the Clock Tower burger featured decent smash patties that were juicy and succulent. However, the chicken element was disastrously dry and felt as if it were battered like fish, creating a texture clash that ruined the experience. A regrettable 2/5. The loaded fries fared slightly better. They were flavourful and tasty, but the portion size was disappointingly scant, finishing too quickly. It did lift our spirits a bit. 3/5. Finally, the Philly Cheesesteak was mediocre at best; the bread was soft, but the beef was flavourless. The cheese sauce was pleasant, yet I doubt it would impress any American palate. 2/5. Overall, Café Clock left much to be desired. Despite its cosy ambiance and charming décor, the lacklustre service and disappointing food overshadowed the initial appeal. The inconsistent quality of the dishes, from dry burgers to meagre portions, made for a terrible dining experience. Ironically, Café Clock's time seemed off, with no café options available. I would rate Café Clock a 2/5 overall—it's definitely not worth your time.

the spicy cheese sauce was OK and the ranch sauce was nice. the rosemary garlic fries had a nice flavour but weren't very crispy, the heisenberger was the highlight flavourful beef smash burgers and Algerian sauce. My only slight issue with the burger were the onion straws which were rather soggy instead of being crispy.

The food was delicious and arrived earlier than expected. However, the order was incomplete. The 2 kids meals we'd ordered had no fries which meant we then had to put some in the oven.

Thinnest burger patties ever. The spicy cheesy chips were inedible.

Burger was really good and it's got a great alternative to KFC hot wings.

Absolutely incredible - Staff are some of the nicest people I've met and their Big Clock burger was absolutely beautiful. Can't think of a better place to grab a burger.

Quality food and very good staff.. I order in a regular at this place. Honey wings are a must. Burgers and other products are of the best quality too. Defo recommended

everything we ordered was bad, it all tasted like it was made yesterday. I've had many a good order from here but this one was so bad I doubt I'll order from here again.

Ordered from these guys numerous times. Food is of a fantastic quality. Most recent order they forgot one of my items but upon calling they hastily brought me what was missing plus a little extra. Excellent customer service. Will have my business again!

Literally and genuinely the best burgers I've ever had... and I've been to a lot of burger joints. This is hands down the best. Great guys too, and service is always on point.

Really good food, the seasoning on the fries was so good, the texture on the tenders were great crispy but not dry, the burger was the best smashed beef patties I ever had super crisp on the edges! Will be back to try more soon, thankyou!

10/10, first time trying this place and it's hands down the best burgers anywhere around. Recommend to anyone.

Insane food Had the classic with chilli sauce. So nice I had to get it twice

Best takeaway we’ve had in ages, burgers & fries , 10/10

Burgers were amazing, sadly the chips were awful

Banging burgers.. Had it twice this week alone.. I'd go for 4 patties! We had chicken Tenders which were made fresh. This is gonna be a local for us now!

Had the You Want Beef meal.Did not seem to have mango chutney, onion bhajis, leaf lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, mint raita & tamarind sauce. Felt plain. The cool names are clever but need to reflect what food is delivered. Quality was great but content would put me off.

Great fresh food and service. Will definitely be coming back.

I've ordered food from here so many times but this is the first time dining in. I visited here this evening with my family for iftar, I booked a table over the phone at 5pm when they opened to make sure we had a seat, lucky we did as there's only place for 2 tables. The place is decorated really nicely regardless. All of the waiters and the owner were really helpful, polite and friendly. The menus are fantastic as they have both written and pictures to see what you're ordering because they aren't your standard burgers! The food is incomparable. All of the burgers were finished off, the chicken tenders are juicy and the chips were crispy. The flavours are so well thought out, they all just go together so well. I don't think I've ever had such a juicy burger that's simultaneously so flavourful that's not just 'meat' flavour. The cocktails were yummy too especially the strawberry one. We were so happy that the iftar munch meal was a thing too, it makes the whole thing that much more approachable for a fun midweek treat rather than a big event treat. I wish it could be a thing all year round not just Ramadan 😂 All in all, 5* obviously and we'll definitely come and dine in again rather than order, it's just so much better that way

Absolutely love this place!! Visited for the first time on Tuesday and the burgers were something else! We had the Heisenburger, fully loaded fries with mocktails and it was literally the best food. Service was 5* also, guys were so friendly and attentive. Cant wait to go back!

First time having from here and I must say honestly one of the best burgers I've had 5 stars from me

Placed my food order with some hesitation I have never had food from here before. The food was great. Well and truly enjoyed by the family. Will be ordering again!!

Absolutely amazing service was great recommend to come here the burger was amazing.

absolutely amazing experience down at cafe clock, came here about 40 minutes ago and it was amazing especially the service and the chips were on point, if anyone is looking for a really nice food spot i suggest come down to cafe clock, it’s amazing!!!

Absolutely amazing experience I loved the food the chips were cooked to perfection services was great nice staff kind people I been here a couple of times I would 💯 percent recommend this

Proper naughty delicious burgers that you dream of or see in the movies. Over the moon with the quality of food and service, 10/10 would recommend

Very cool place. Really nice staff supplemented with exceptional service. Food was high quality 👌. But the real highlight for me was their 'in house' sauce.

Food arrived late and cold , do not recommend

Amazing burgers 🍔 Always feels like a real treat Good value for great food

Superb food as always, ok might seem expensive at first glance but great quality food and really tasty.

Had the Heisenberger meal & chicken bites.Food was delicious.Would definitely recommend.

The food was 10/10… cooked prefectly. Best burger I’ve had.

Had a great experience here at cafe clock, definitely recommend, top notch service from Asad, will be definitely returning 😊👍

food was cold chips were hard as if they had been standing for a while and burger bun was soggy chicken was a bit dry

Paid for coleslaw .. was contacted by restaurant to say limited availability .. therefore a £1.50 cash refund .. by delivery driver .. did not receive .. plus coleslaw delivered was just less than half and only red cabbage .. not happy !!!

Not worth the hype. The menu looks impressive but it's a service station burger and the chips were soggy and reminded me of a school dinner. Don't waste your money

not sure how you keep getting food to me hot as your so far away but I'm impressed, also food was absolutely fantastic again.

food was not hot on delivery. items ordered specially because they were not labelled as spicy were so spicy i couldnt eat them. not enjoyable and a complete waste of money

Late, cold, and the wings were very disappointing.

We had the Korean BBQ burger, lemon pepper chicken bites and some salt chilli fries. Unfortunately I had ordered through JE and not direct. JE had an update and some glitch where my address wasn't sent or my contact no. After ringing the Cafe Clock to see where my food was, we realised what had happened, unfortunately the food was Luke warm by the time it got here but that's more of a JE issue than the Cafe Clock. Food was still packed with flavour, and I'm sure that if it wasn't for the mix up it would have been here quicker and still hot/fresh. I will be ordering again but direct this time or go to eat in for the full experience. Great menu, loads of variety and friendly guys.

delivery driver very helpful and understanding about being hard to find.

1st time ordering very impressed food was over my expectations very happy thank you

Nice food but paid for two portions of chips and got just the one.

The Service Was Amazing The Food Was Nice Aswell I really Recomend This Place It A Must

Driver wouldn’t listen to instructions on where our house was so we had to go and find them it took 15mins as he wouldn’t stay still therefore our food was cold

can of water was missing from order other than that spot on again 😃😃😃

wonderful again 10 out of 10 😄😄😄

excellent hot food burgers are AMAZING thank you 😁😁😁

Driver turned up with food the cost was £22.40p I gave him £25 and he walked off I called him back and asked for change he said he would look in car for Change after few minutes he came back and said,the shop sent him with no change I said not my issue so I want my change as for the food the chicken meal my wife had was half cold and was warmed up in the microwave the burger I had was hot as it was wrapped up in foil but chips were cold got to say it was the best burger I had from a takeaway but rest of the food was cold

We tried chicken wings and two types of burgers, everything was delicious, high quality products used! Nice atmosphere and good service! 🍔🍟🍗

First time trying from here and wow am I impressed. I had the clock tower burger and my partner had the big clock burger, I wish I’d taken pics but just the most juiciest burger I’ve ever had, not greasy either! And the chips are very nice only had plain too! Will definitely be ordering from here again and trying more food!!

RTA caused road closure, driver got lost & was advised by Cafe Clock to return as food was cold. Order replaced & delivery made. Good contact from restaurant who kept us advised. Burger lovely & moist, hot dog tasty. Food is very good from here.

Definitely recommended and definitely will go there again and again

Really nice food, great variety, quiet environment, decent young group of people starting a small business Definitely recommend Will surely be going back

Delivery took 1 hour 35 mins Food was at least hot this time If you’re that busy employ more drivers

Great thank you , enjoyed everything

Good food, pleasant & helpful courier.

Misses loved the baps just like hers

Food and service is always great

Absolutely bangin and well worth a go. Deffo ordering again

Food really disappointing. Burgers really thin, even for a smash burger, and small. All fries, 4 portions were undercooked and could have done with cooking longer, same with the onion rings. 4 meals with cabs ordered, 2 delivered. Missing tango and vinto. Based on other reviews thought the quality would be higher. Saturated market and from what we've had today well down the list for quality. Better options locally.

Small portions but really tasty

Could be a new favourite!! The kids loved it, looked good quality ingredients as well

The best place in Stoke-on-Trent to order from for burgers & chips etc. the presentation & taste is just mwah!

Best takeaway I’ve had for a while

As far as I knew: this was still Holdcroft's motorbike place! So I couldn't believe it when I drove past. Great selection of burgers and seasoned fries - I'll be back to test everything. And the fella who served me was really nice.

Food was absolutely delicious 😋 can't fault it! Although portions are quite small considering some reviews I have read.

Excellent burgers. Certainly one of the best halal burgers in stoke. Juicy and fresh. Would surely order again

Food was cold and one of the drinks was wrong Normally great but lacking today

The best burger place in all of SOT. Once you eat here you won't eat anywhere else again, nothing comes close.

Ordered for delivery - had high hopes from the good reviews but everything was a disappointment... Chips were lukewarm at best and very cardboardy. Burger wasn't bad but nothing special. Then I had some "Thai honey" chicken bites that didn't taste of anything other than cheap fake cheese sauce. I was genuinely really hungry before it came but ended up throwing the chips and half the chicken away and went to the chippy instead 🙄

The food was nice but it was cold when it arrived, I paid for gherkins on my burger and none were put on - expected more given the price. Food also took an hour and a half to arrive.

Absolutely delicious burgers - exceptionally tasty with high quality ingredients and perfect cooking, plus some interesting flavour combinations to enjoy. I love this place. Great design and atmosphere for eating in too.

Was stone cold, Dry, for the price i was expecting better

First time of ordering from here. Can honestly say it was the best burger we have had in a long time. Very friendly driver. Brilliant food. Definitely worth the value for money. Will be ordering again.

Best service, friendly attentive staff, amazing food, best in stoke on Trent

Great food choice Everything in the bag 👍🏼 Maybe a little cold but don’t ruin the meal

Best burgers and loaded fries we’ve had from any takeaway. Period. Think five guys but better and cleaner. Big respect 👊

Amazing food, very happy with what we had

By far the best burgers in Stoke. Service was great also

The sticky thai chicken bites are REALLY good. 100% the best takeout in stoke and Burton!!!!!!

I travel 60 miles for this meal, that’s how good it is. The service and atmosphere makes it even more special.
