Jurassic Grill in Kettering

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

Staff were exceptional. Quick efficient service. Adaptable when we wanted to deviate from the standard children's menu. Spent time keeping the children amused with a puppet style baby dinosaur.

The whole experience tonight at Jurassic Grill, Kettering was superb. The Jurassic theme was excellent, enjoyed by my grandchildren. The welcome and super service from Eleanor and Olivia made us feel comfortable. The meal was delightful. I had a dish I had not had before and I was pleasantly surprised as it was served in good time, hot and delicious. The cost was very reasonable, pitched just right. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great atmosphere and experience. Food was good - we had the afternoon tea package which included two slider burgers in very colourful buns each and lots of cake and popcorn. Lovely staff who were very friendly and welcoming. My granddaughter loved the dinosaurs that they brought to the table to meet her. Would definitely go back again soon

What a fantastic little gem. Such a great experience for both little and big people. We had a really enjoyable meal whilst meeting the local baby dinos and their handlers. My granddaughter absolutely loved stroking and learning about the babies and touching the egg. Callum was brilliant and was so gentle with our grandson who was a little scared. The whole staff team were excellent. Such great customer service. We look forward to going back. Well done to everyone of you. You made our eating out experience exceptional. Wish we lived closer. Please can you open a restaurant in Peterborough?

Great atmosphere and lovely food again. This was our third visit and it just gets better and better! Nikki was outstanding, she introduced three dinosaurs to the boys (9 and 11). They were very interested in the types on display. She explained all about them, took the boys upstairs to see their favourites, and showed them a collection of real dinosaur fossils. I had the Blue Raptor Burger, the bun was a beautiful blue colour. Nikki explained that all the coloured buns are natural colouring and nothing artificial. Blue is from Blueberries, Red is from Strawberries, Black is Charcoal none of which inhibits the taste of the brioche bun. Lunch took a bit longer than we expected but it was very enjoyable and well worth it. We will definitely be back.

Came for the blue burger and chicken sabertooth which were both very delicious and would recommend for both a family visit or a solo but definitely worth coming and trying the food very different to other cuisines

What a wonderful place and an absolute asset to Kettering. We were made to feel so welcome, the staff were wonderful and the food was very good. Here you don't just get a meal - you get an experience! The manager was wonderful with my year old nephew, who love dinosaurs, and was able to tell us so many interesting facts. My nephew said it was the best place ever and hasn't stopped talking about it since! If you like dinosaurs - go! If you don't - go and you soon will ;)

Such lovely staff, made a real fuss of my sons birthday. Manageress is just lovely. Food is so nice too

I've wanted to take my niece and nephew here for a few years. Today was finally the day. A fabulous family Saturday lunchtime treat and catch up with my family. The food was fresh and tasty. Don't worry if you have allergies or fussy children as the staff are amazingly patient and very accommodating. The interactive dinosaurs are a brilliant idea and enjoyed by children and adults. I can not praise the manager enough. She was amazing today and a credit to the restaurant. They are now open Friday and Saturday evenings, so I will definitely have to try that next.

Apologies for the late review (I've done a review on the Facebook page but wanted to add one here now I have time). Thank you for the brilliant school trip - the food, venue and activities were all great.

A pre-birthday treat turned into the most phenomenal night! Thank you so much to Nicky and her awesome team at Jurassic Grill Kettering. We had the warmest welcome, delicious food and my son was completely spoiled with the cheeky interactive dinosaurs that made him howl with laughter. He was blown away by the decor but the service was, in his own words, EPIC. Nothing was too much trouble and the team went above and beyond to make his night special…including making him a birthday hat and singing happy birthday with a dessert bigger than he’d ever seen. But to top it all off, Nicky kindly showed him a case full of fossils and talked him through each one in detail (her dinosaur knowledge is amazing and her enthusiasm was infectious from table to table). Handling the fossils blew my son’s mind and completely made his day (and his dad’s 🤣). Parking was just a street away and free after 3pm (Mon-Thurs) bonus! Really can’t recommend this place more, absolute 5 star experience from start to finish. Thanks so much Nicky

We loved it here!! One of our group has a gluten allergy and they were very knowledgeable and careful, we felt perfectly comfortable. My son hurt himself while we were eating (not the restaurant’s fault) and they were attentive and offered first aid and a free ice cream!! We live an hour away but will definitely be back.
