Great place to eat. Even our little one enjoys it here. Shame it's closed down. As the service and food was always great here.

Has always been excellent service and excellent food Now it's closed and yet another fast food equivalent to KFC moving in...like we need it..!!! Clearly that's all people eat now..!! Shame people don't want to eat real food anymore and just want processed rubbish....!!

Went for lunch with the family after a long drive. Service was good and quick, however the beef in the tacos was tough and not nice. The children's meal was good value but would have been better if drink included like most other places.

I remember nachos being great a few years ago but now found it disappointing, small portion for price and £4 extra for pulled beef which was about 4 teaspoons dotted around. I would not order recommend it.

I visited Giraffe for the first time, following a visit to Steam and walk around the Outlet centre with friends. Being lunchtime it was busy, however we were welcomed in the queue, advised of the wait time (10 mins but was less) and we’ll looked after. Our server, Jasmine, was fantastic. Friendly, happy and helpful - she made the visit really special. I hope the manager see this to pass on the credit. Food was efficient and absolutely gorgeous. In fact I liked the look of everything on the menu! All of our group thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Giraffe and can’t wait to return on my next visit.

I had a Latte with coconut milk and it was wonderful. I also had the Duck Stir fry which was amazing with the flavours and amount of kick when it came to being spicy , just right not over the top . You were able to enjoy the noodles and the duck was cooked to perfection. The right balance. I would recommend this dish every time . The service was fantastic too and also I would sign up for the Mcauthurglen club because you get 10% off your meal. There are other offers that are appealing.

Restaurant was nicely situated in McArthur Glen Designer Outlet with attentive, friendly staff. Food is good, if a little pricey for what it is - think of TGI Fridays type food but considerably more expensive and with generally smaller portions. What is annoying is that they charge an additional 'optional' service charge of 10% regardless of how many people there are. There were only 3 of us and were charged an additional £9. The cost is hidden half way down the bill so is hard to see at first - I noticed later by which time it was too late as I had already paid, which is probably what they are counting on; either that or they think you will be too embarrassed to query the additional charge. I always leave a tip for good service but object to the restaurant adding charges like this to supplement their staffs' pay. I thought that this deceptive practice died out years ago and think it should be illegal; you should get clear, emphatic approval from the customer before adding hidden charges like this. Will not be getting ripped off again by this place, once bitten......

Sunday 10.00am breakfast was very disappointing tbh. Warm food which was seemingly pre-cooked. Waitress did ask if all was good but we were almost done so waste of time complaining. Good service to be honest. 1 other issue was, half way through they sat someone behind us which actually backed onto my wife’s seat (was not social distanced). I knew the guy from work and he admitted it was so close but we were done in 5 mins so again no use complaining.

Having eaten here a few times we stopped in for some lunch during our first post COVID shopping trip.We were sat down very quickly, and served by a pleasant lad with red hair. We ordered the Breakfast and the big joe burger. To our surprise, our meals were served within 10 minutes. We even commented on how quick the chef had cooked our food. Our food came quickly as it was reheated. The burger had been pre-cooked and as had the fries. The all-day breakfast was also reheated and was equally as dry. Very disappointing lunch despite the efficiency of the chef! The pineapple juices were fresh but at £3.95 a glass very overpriced. Customers lost for Giraffe after this visit.

However, after having a wander, we thought we’d try Giraffe. We asked if they could fit of us in and amazingly, the front of house, James, replied with an enthusiastic ‘I like a challenge!’ He went out of his way to make some room for us and Emma, our wait staff, was fantastic, really accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. She even brought out our daughter’s cake we’d brought with us so we could sing happy birthday to her. Despite the restaurant being busy and there were twelve of us, the service was quick.

The service charge was already included in the bill which was a bit of a surprise but we were happy with it - they just might have ended up with more given the discount we had.The vegan and vegetarian options are brilliant in this restaurant.

Visited twice in one day. First for breakfast, they asked if we had any allergies and they changed the egg from scrambled to poached. They were attentive, but not overly. We ordered one breakfast that came with toast, as I don’t eat white bread, my mum ordered poached eggs. They brought an extra plate and she had my toast with her eggs. We returned for lunch and had a lovely lunch which came shortly after we ordered. Only issue we had was they brought an extra side salad we didn’t order, but they didn’t charge us for it. I would recommend anyone to go.

Efficient, not unfriendly, but barely adequate service.. waiting staff too busy to really engage .. food, given how busy the restaurant was, was actually quite good .. I will however not be visiting a giraffe restaurant.. there were only two of us, but despite this a 10% “optional” service fee was added to our bill .. however the “optional” option was in lighter smaller text, & the price of the meal (with service charge applied) was in bold .. so it would have been easy to overlook the actual cost of the meal .. what incensed me even more was that the total showing on the pdq machine was for the higher figure .. I think this is an unfair practice ..especially when the service was barely adequate.. shame on you giraffe !!

When mine arrived the eggs were sat in a puddle of water where they hadn’t been drained and when I cut into them they were hard boiled so I returned them, my mums eggs were the same but didn’t want to complain. I sat sometime before mine was returned clearly now on the same bit of bread and avocado which was now cold and clearly the eggs had not been drained again as there was now so much water on the plate the bread was a wet mush, disgusting so yet again retuned and had nothing !! The servers are pleasant but the chefs need training big time, this isn’t cheap but quality was awful and lots of basic mistake made, wrong drink, badly cooked food and presentation on the plate bad with bits of the poached egg hanging under the plate - brunch ruined and went hungry

Have been here plenty of times with the family but today was very poor, they were not busy and uninterested in taking our order. Sat for about 15 minutes staff avoiding eye contact and the lady doing circuits of the restaurant but not much else! We promptly left and had lunch at Carluccios which was very pleasant.

Popped into giraffe for a late lunch and the place was heaving. However, we were served straight away and the staff were very polite.

Excellent food but for me the service was the best I had for a long time. Came out of wagamama' s after being ignored for several minutes by several people and came here by accident.

The Service here was excellent. We were greeted on arrival and take to a choice of tables. Drinks orders were taken and arrived quickly. Food orders were then taken, and that come quickly as well. The food was OK.

Had a lovely burger with proper onion rings, delicious and filling. Wife had a Thai noodle and duck dish which she would not share :) Overall a lovely atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Hey guys it is safe to say, "congratulations". You will know what is meant when you go! Assuming you go within the next few months. Will we go again? Yes! is it cheap? No! is it worth the money? definitely. Lots of room and nice seating. Thank you for a lovely meal. Disabled friendly.

When this chain first started out, the food was really good, but now it is almost crap & rubbish.

Had lunch at Giraffe a couple of days ago - although we had to wait to be seated the service was swift and efficient; once seated, drinks and food came within 10 minutes which was impressive given that the restaurant was very busy. The quality of the order was exemplary; we ordered a sharing portion of salt and pepper squid each, and it was possibly the best I have had the pleasure to be served. It was piping hot, the batter was light and crisp and the squid very fresh and tender. Served with chilli sauce and a wedge of lime this was a very delicious and flavoursome lunch, and at less than £25 for two, including large drinks, represents excellent value for money. Well done Giraffe!

Amazing food. Staff were very attentive and helpful in adapting the meals for us. Food was prepared quickly which is great as a family with young children and they loved their toy to take away. The 2 for 1 mocktails were also delicious . Would definitely visit again .

Within the designer outlet centre you can dine inside the restaurant or outside inside within the centre range of seating we went for a booth and very treated very politely and courteous with prompt service. Questions and queries were answered well. It was two for one one cocktails although we get for the mocktails and had a delicious Wavebreaker!! Pineapple line and coconut all flavours you could taste individually and that can’t often be said! The chicken burger was amazing with mushrooms cheese onion rings mayo bacon and a perfectly cooked chicken breast opted for £1 upgrade to scrumptious sweet potato fries! The salads are all scrumptious too and portions are spot on. We didn’t have time for dessert but a good looking selection on offer but I worked like to see more places when offering churros to have options rather than just chocolate sauce for dipping. But the menu does lend itself to a selection of mainly chocolate based puddings which appeals to most. A definite place to visit!

Love a couple of dishes at Giraffes which have sadly been changed. Ordered the chicken Bang salad which is now a bowl of cold noodles out of the fridge with chicken flung on top. Husbands Katsu chicken curry no longer has wonderful veggies but jasmine rice (cold when it came to us) with a bit of sauce and chicken. Got our money back as I won’t pay for this poor food. Sadly will not be going again.

The heading says it all, while shopping at the outlet centre we stopped for lunch. The restaurant was over half full but the service was still excellent. All burgers were half price on a Tuesday. We both had burgers , chicken breast, you can change the fries for a salad which I did. The salad was not your average side salad but was large and not your usual selection of salad vegetables-very tasty and filling . Two meals and two drinks under £20 before adding 10% service charge. Could not fault the meal or service and would definitely return.

Stopped here for a late brunchy meal and could not have been happier with the Veggie Brunch (which I customised thanks to helpful lovely staff) and Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs. It was delicious and the staff were lovely. Definitely go here!

Not a great experience to be honest. Had to wait 5-10 minutes before anyone noticed we were there and needed seating. Once seated it took another 10 minutes before we received a drinks order. Food came out in reasonable time but mine and my partners steaks were over cooked. Asked for them mid rare and both come more mid well. My partners bearnaise sauce has split so looked like an oil slick and my peppercorn was completely bland. Frozen prawn that was on top of my partners steak tasted just that, frozen and my ribeye was impossibly tough. Usually we would have tried to rectify the problems then and there but no one came to see how the food was so we ate what we could and left. Really disappointed as we love a good steak but guess that’s another one off the list in Swindon. No where left to eat in this town.

My family and I went to this burger joint (now rebranded The Confessional) for lunch today. Being a vegetarian for 29 years, I ordered a mushroom halloumi burger and my daughter ordered a chicken burger. The idiotic server brought the order unlabelled and in the wrong order, leading to me eating three bites of CHICKEN before realising it wasn’t grilled halloumi. I am absolutely disgusted and furious and I will never EVER return. I will be making sure my family and friends won’t be coming either. Appalling service in every way.

Went through the drive thru. Ordered a 10 piece bucket. When we arrived home, the fries were soggy, and overcooked. The chicken was also overcooked, and very dark brown. Apart from that, I always thought that chickens have two breasts and two legs. So why did I get 8 drumsticks, and 2 tiny pieces of breast meat. I know …..cheap. No pun intended. This is the worst and most disgusting KFC I have ever had. I will certainly not return, and would suggest that people give it a wide swerve. Disgusting.
