Terrible gestión, sin servicio al cliente, no importa en absoluto. Nunca me han hablado con tan poco respeto como adulto

Venimos aquí muy a menudo ya que la comida es increíble. Es un gran lugar, con personal agradable y amable. Me encanta. Mi favorito son las papas fritas sucias.

I’ve come here few times in past always nice food , coke here tonight and my god the food was vile , chicken was grizzle and un eatable , rice was over done , garlic bread didn’t even taste like pizza dough more like undercooked pastry. I told the man it was vile and I was laughed at never again.

Friday night treat with Dr Q’s. We ordered 3 meaty parmos, all were burnt from the bottom, unable to eat it all because the chicken was hard and over cooked.

The restaurant was empty with 1 table sitting and there were 4 waiters on standby. This seemed like we could be getting the best customer service however we were very mistaken. The drinks we had ordered took 40minutes to arrive at the table, they looked good but the waiters didn’t attempt to give us the usual presentation of smoke for appearance even when raised. The meals also arrived late, which was an hour after ordering. The delays were unusual as the restaurant was empty. The restaurant was also very cold which made the wait feel even longer. We ordered a variety of things including a steak, family platter, and pizza which was presented well. The most disappointing was the steak as it was cut into small, tiny square pieces with no sauce or gravy and the smallest amount of vegetables to go with it. The steak was very hard and chewy. The pizza was different to their usual and the chicken tasted dry and old. This was raised with the staff but they were clueless and unapologetic of the issue. It seemed that the management had changed and needs to train their staff and chef. In addition there are boards at the entrance stating there is 20% discount or 10% student discount which seemed like a good deal until it was not applied on the bill and the staff stated this was being changed. The restaurant has been misleading customers into thinking they have good deals on when in reality it is not being applied. We also ordered takeout for a family member and again no takeaway discount was applied. There was 1 table sitting which had also made complaints about their Chicken Kiev and how they were disappointed as a regular customer. This customer then recieved a 50% discount due to their issues and ours were not addressed when they were just as vital.

Visited with family and was extremely disappointed and devastated at the service and quality of food. Service was poor although there was only 1 other table we had to wait over 40 minutes for drinks to be served and to receive kids meal after an hour. There was a huge variation in the portion size served, In comparison to the steak I've previously ordered today's steak was cut into 5 tiny pieces with no gravy served and hardly any vegetables. I raised this with the staff who seemed clueless and unapologetic of the issue. The pizza was also cooked very differently than usual and the chicken tasted and smelt awful. When I received my bill the 20% discount which was advertised outside the restaurant on a board and inside the menus was not applied on the bill and when I raised this with staff they said they need to change the menu and to ignore the board outside and menus which clearly state 20% discount, i felt this was very misleading and falsely advertised welcoming customers with offers and then not applying or implementing this. The customers sitting in the other table had also complained about their food and were compensated immediately with a 50 percent off their bill however as a customer I wasn't treat fairly and despite complaining and raising concerns no further action or compensation was made on my behalf. I've had the worst experience there with family and wont be visiting again. Don't recommend this place for the poor service and quality.

Having dinned in many if not all of Sunderland's food establishments over the many years I've been here. This Dr. Q's sits up in the top 5. Highly recommend and would urge you to write your own review.

We luckily found a table for 7 during eat out to help out. Great menu and thoroughly enjoyed the food, although they dont serve alcohol and we missed this when booking. The bill was considerably cheaper though so not all bad. Really enjoyed ourselves.

We reserved table only to be told to move after 10minutes. The food was below average! Service was appalling, only good thing was that the food was 50% (eat out to help out) would never go back as we didn’t enjoy majority of the food we ordered. The steak pieces we ordered as an extra was ok. The sirloin steak evem though we asked for medium well done was almost burnt and well done and very chewy! The donner pita was awful! The Yankee burger was just a gimmick and was lacking flavour!

Waited 40 mins for food. The steak was so dry not medium rare at all and tiny strips. Garlic bread overcooked and no cheese. No wedges or garlic bread slices left. One couple walked out while we were there. Yet had takeaway last week and food was amazing. Quality should not suffer just because its half price and busy. Need more staff and kitchen staff. Get your service right.

Food was fantastic, I had the southern slaw burger with cheesy chips and corn. My Boyfriend had the butterfly chicken and peri peri chips and said the chicken was more succulent than Nando’s! Both tasted great. I’d recommend anyone to come and try here -...

Lovely place to eat. The peri peri chicken is really nice. Prices are good too for the food you get. I have been here a few times now and I really enjoy it. The decor of the place is fantastic too.

Visited 10th April for dinner for my birthday. Friend had a £50 voucher so made use of that before it runs out. Glad we had the voucher as I'd have been highly disappointed if we had to pay for this. Arrived and weren't seated. I asked at the bar if they had any tables for 3, waiter said yeah over there. So we sat in the corner as we had my 4 year old son with me. Waitress arrived with menus. Came back after about 10 mins and took drinks order and food order. I asked if the children's chicken goujons were battered or breaded and she didn't know so went to find out. Came back and advised breaded and we ordered. I felt the pizza options were pretty limited given it's described as a pizzeria.. I ordered a CYO pizza with mushrooms, sweet corn and red onion. I ordered my son (children's menu) the melon and fruit starter, battered fish fingers and asked to swap the chips for skin on fries, friend ordered a pepperoni pizza. 2 ciders and an apple juice for drinks. Kids starter arrived covered in a strawberry syrup and was mostly melon, with two small pineapple chunks and one strawberry. I had to remove the syrup though as he doesn't like it and don't recall that being listed on the menu. After about 15 minutes our pizzas arrived first and then the children's main. The red onion looked and tasted more like pickled red cabbage, and the cheese didn't appear to be fully melted so felt it could have had a little extra cooking time. Friend for pepperoni which looked about as good as any pepperoni pizza can look. He said it was basic and ate it but for the price would've expected better. Children's main arrived with chips. No one came to check on the food so I had to go to the bar to explain it was supposed to be fries. They got some sent out and they were colourless, tasteless and under cooked. I tried the fish fingers and they tasted of nothing more than deep fried batter, wasn't a lot of fish in them. I asked for my pizza to be boxed and the waited came and dropped a box on the table and walked away. We were not offered anymore drinks, a dessert menu or asked if the food was ok or if we needed anything else the entire visit. I had to go to the bar to ask for the bill even though it was clear we were finished. I presented the waiter with the voucher and he disappeared for ten minutes. Came back and explained there was a £2 accidental charge added and they can't remove it so they've cleared it. Assumed that was it and went to leave. Collared at the door for a further £8.25 charge for the remained of the bill that wasn't mentioned. Paid and left. While the bar and restaurant itself is clean, and had a pretty chilled vibe, the staff aren't attentive, if you need something you'll find yourself having to get up to go and find someone to ask for it, which when you're paying the prices they charge you'd expect to be at least asked if your food is ok or if you need anymore drinks, you'll find this in the most basic of places and your local pub, and the food will be better quality and half the price. The food it's self is pretty basic for the cost, and there are a lot of places local will serve a similar menu at a fraction of the cost and the food is much better. I'd have at least expected the pizzas to be decent considering they advertise as a pizzeria and smokehouse. The total bill came to £60.25 after getting the receipt, for a kids starter and main, 2 pizzas, 2 old mout and 1 apple juice. For that I'd have expected a lot better quality food and more attentive staff. Feels a lot like chain pub food. Probably won't return, which is a shame because the bar and restaurant is actually quite nice.
