Signals Bistro in Redcar and Cleveland

Signals has been a home from home for us for years. The service has always been next level and it’s just such a class place to grab food/coffee/beer. The veggie options are plentiful and banging. Sometimes I’ve got a little one with me and it couldn’t be more friendly for kids if you’re wanting to grab a coffee or a bite. There’s not much that comes close to how great Signals and their staff are in Saltburn.

Been coming to signals for a good few years now and not once have I had a bad experience, food and service is always great, siggys is the first place that comes to mind when I'm in saltburn and feeling peckish!

Amazing local cafe with great staff, atmosphere and even better food. The menu changes throughout the year but never disappoints - if it’s your first time try any of their loaded fries!

Family friendly, cosy atmosphere & great food. Multi purpose cafe/taproom, tend to visit through the day with my Son (loves the parmo fries). Has great vibe on an evening/weekend for drinks with friends.

LOVE the vibe, LOVE the food, LOVE SIGNALS If you want great food, the best coffee in town and a massive hug this is the place for you!!

I was absolutely disgusted with not only the food but the service. I took my 2 grandchildren aged 7 and 8. Firstly I asked for sausage chips and gravy, to be told we don’t have gravy !!!. I then ordered egg, chips 2 sausages, 1 sausage and chips, cheese and ham panini with chips. 2 children’s lemonade and cappuccino. This came to £36:55. When it arrived I was appalled, egg and 3 sausages on a side plate, 2 bowls of chips, I asked where is her sausage, to be told it’s on his plate, where do you ever go and they put 2 part meals one a plate. no offer of cutlery, I had to ask, to be told you get your own from over there. I had to scape raw cheese off my panini as it was half melted. Cheesy chips were all scrappy in the bottom. Man came and said I understand you are unhappy, you can take some cakes home fee of charge. Sorry but after that experience I don’t want to be insulted by an offer of cakes, could have at least offered to reduce my bill. I will not be going there again or advising anyone else to. I could have taken them to McDonalds and got a better experience and cheaper, because at that price I expected a better one.

Stopped off for a coffee in the sunshine on a Saturday afternoon. Service was good and we were acknowledged at the hatch quickly. Coffee was lovely and it’s a great place for a spot of people watching. We didn’t sample the food so unable to comment. Lost a star due to a sticky table which transferred in to my partners coat.

Mad Mary's burgers at Signals. Absolutely gorgeous burgers. The coronation chicken burger was delicious. Not forgetting the fries are fantastic. Definately worth a visit.

Discovered Signals on our first night in Saltburn-By-The-Sea. Lovely craft beers, great Mexican food and fantastic live music. Staff were really friendly and informative too. Shame it’s only open as a bar on Friday and Saturday nights!

We always enjoy the food and coffee here. The loaded fries and breakfasts are a must! The staff are amazing, helpful, patient and informative. However the owner appears to prance around putting on a show for attention while his staff cope under great stress. He was no help at all, turning the music up to ear-splitting levels, hugging everyone like long lost pals and making a big noise. Then disappearing upstairs. The card machine often ceases up because of the WiFi being overloaded. Maybe reconsider taking cash as we don't appreciate hanging around for ages to pay while your staff could be serving. Sort yourself out Mr Signals! You are quite literally an embarrassment. Your customers and admirable staff deserve better.

Lovely little find and best coffee I have had in a long time. Dog friendly a big bonus.

Too expensive, £10 for a small cocktail (mostly ice) Empty Glasses on every table.

The food and drinks were average. Very kind staff and the interior of the cafe is very beautiful and cozy. (We got 2 egg sandwiches, mocha and peach tea)

this is the most creative hot chocolate I have ever seen in my 15 years on this planet.

The food was excellent, with a wide range of breakfast options, including a lot for veggies. The vegetarian breakfast flatbread was a beauty. You can have your breakfast items on a plate, in a stack, in a wrap, on a bagel, in a sandwich.. probably various other ways if you can think 'em up. If you're sitting upstairs you have to order through the QR code (downstairs gets table service) which is mostly ok but they don't have options for certain things like decaf coffee (which you have to go downstairs and order separately). The vibes are definitely more brunch cafe downstairs and more bar/taproom upstairs but both work for both I imagine. Tons of dogs yay!

A gem of a place. Received a warm welcome even though it was busy. Ordered through the app as we were sitting upstairs - great service. The food was excellent(don’t know what they did with the baked beans but they were delicious) . Lovely coffee too. Would definitely recommend . Thank you

Stopped here after a long walk for a rest and some food. I really enjoyed my latte. I assisted my wife with her millionaire pancakes. We requested all the chocolate on the side (appreciate an unusual request) and the server did not bat an eyelid. Came exactly as requested. Three small pancakes with plenty of caramel sauce, pieces of shortbread, different types of chocolate, whipped cream and a chocolate sauce. Main menu didn't look exactly to our taste when we looked online. But having seen everyone's else's food come out, we'd definitely like to try some of the more unusual dishes. They also have a cabinet with a selection of cakes which all looked very tasty. Nice clean toilets and very good service. Despite us taking a long time to decide and making strange requests. Google maps did try to bring us through a private road (walking up from the coast). If you get stuck, you can get through the station alongside Sainsbury's. Would definitely recommend and we will return ourselves.

Visited a few times, very popular place, however service is pretty speedy. Called for breakfast good quality and some variety of options like breakfast wraps.

Used to enjoy coming here but today ordered coffees & scone. 20 minutes later still waiting even though people came in after us and they breakfasts arrived before us. Asked the waitress on how long for our coffees she then returned with 2 miniature cups which i had asked for extra hot these were warm then we waited again for the scone (finished coffee by the time this came). Only card payments allowed now and you either have to order by the app or at the till.

Visited for coffee and cake on NYE afternoon. It was very busy but staff were so helpful and attentive. Good atmosphere and nice coffee and cake. So would recommend.

High prices, coffees came 10mins after the food?? And the hot chocolate deluxe for my daughter £3.20!! Was a basic water and spoon of chocolate mix in a takeaway cup! Disgrace!

Signal cafe is a great spot we've found when visiting Saltburn. Their paninis are my favorite. Easy self serve order online, and quick service from staff bringing the food and drink over.

Christmas Eve, Festive Flatbread. Simply excellent! It was busy, but very well organised. And dog friendly too! Recommended!

Lovely place! We went for breakfast and for lunch the following day; one of the best katsu curry loaded fries I've had in a long time. Lots of tasty red chillies and black onion seeds bringing extra punch to a classic, with really crispy panko chicken cutlets.

The cafe is great for a dog friendly venue and the food and atmosphere is good. However the app ordering system upstairs is OK online but chaos comes after that as the staff had no idea of who ordered what and could not relate the app order to the recorded table number. Also the dog did not get his expected complimentary sausage. We will go back again and try the staff service on the ground floor when less busy!

Went in for the first time today. Was very impressed with the whole experience. Dog friendly, food was amazing, staff were all lovely and helpful. Decor was gorgeous. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing brunch - vega breakfast was lovely and so large- super quick also

Nice breakfast and coffee, but some items were not available. Rather dark and a bit cold inside. Did welcome dogs though.

Fantastic place. Friendliest staff, great coffee and loveliest food.

Greed comes into it. Whoever owns this place is raking it in. Check profits online yet they charge for doggy sausages we do the rounds for dog cafes and this one will be crossed off. For a brekky and a sandwich 2 cakes 27 pounds plus. All because its saltburn gives you rights to charge more. The drinks we had to go back in and ask for AFTER the food came. No salt sugar ect on the tables. 1 pound for a sh.. sausage each. Never again. Only positive was the food was average the cakes were amazing. Teas came in a paper cup. I. Actually mad writing this

Takes forever to recieve your food then drinks only coffee takes even longer

Great service . Food was great especially the vegetarian options. Note. If you eat downstairs, it is table service but upstairs you have order via QR code. Also stopped for tea and cakes, great choice of cakes.

Amazing food, presented really nicely! Staff really polite and helpful. Will definitely be back! 😁

We have visited on 3 separate occasions. The first 2 visits were great and our food both served indoors and as takeaway was excellent. Sadly our 3rd trip was not so good. Soggy lettuce and greasy halloumi not a great combo for a wrap! Avoid if very busy as the food felt rushed...or someone else was cooking on that day.

Great bar, friendly staff and fabulous street food by Deja Vu on a Friday night. Perfect for a chilled night and well worth a visit

Friendly locally run cafe and taproom. We both had the teriyaki nourish bowl, they were lovely. Good beer as well. Well worth a visit.

Used the hole in the wall to the side, making use of the seating outside. Staff are friendly and the detox smoothie is really tasty but a little pricey, however the coffee and tea is priced the same as everywhere in the area. The only place around the station facing the shops with outside seating that get's the sun.

Sandwiches & drinks were good. Good selection. Lovely place, friendly staff. We sat outside as we had a dog. Would definitely recommend this place.

My family and I dropped in for lunch today. The food was great and there lots of options to choose from. I had the smash burger with fries which was £11 and worth paying for, it was delicious. The sun was shining so we sat outside and ordered from the side hatch, the food was brought out to us. I would eat here again, I recommend it to anyone.

Lovely modern gem. Food was amazing and nosing at other people’s food it looked just as good. Nice atmosphere lovely service, nice and clean, we treated ourselves to some smoothie drinks as-well and they were divine. Seating outside, dogs welcome

A lovely, bright and modern cafe. We stopped off for tea and teacakes. Friendly service and a nice, laid back ambience.

Amazing place! Great staff & delicious food, and lovely coffee

Really delicious coffee & food, with options like breakfast bao bun & warm banana bread with yoghurt & banana chips. Great service & atmosphere.

We found this to be the best place for breakfast in the area. Excellent selection (from banana loaf through to a Full English). We found prices to be very reasonable and service very quick to outside tables.

Highly recommend this place and will definitely come again. The chicken gyro was delicious and the rest of the menu looked great.

Have visited many times and never disappointed, Went for breakfast, had a full English , bacon ciabatta and blueberry pancakes , all were a good portion, cooked well and so tasty! Staff are so lovely and friendly , always feel so welcome .

Nice little spot for a pint after a full day of hiking.

Nice spot. Good coffee. Upstairs is really nice spot to hang out.

We visited this fantastic bistro twice during our holiday to Saltburn-By-The-Sea- once for breakfast and again during the really busy food festival. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. She helped us find our way around the town and suggested lots of great things to do. She also helped us sort a way to walk from Skelton to the town on the Cleveland Way which had spectacular views of the viaduct. The food was amazing and such high quality. Our dog got a fuss and a free sausage which is a lovely touch! The owner managed to accommodate us when they were extremely busy and we tried a few things from the menu that we would highly recommend. The place was buzzing and very friendly. We cannot recommend this place enough! There’s an upstairs area where you can order on an app which is very convenient.

I really like this place, great, friendly service and good food and drinks. It's also in a great location in the centre of town.

I had the smash burger and it was delicious, possibly one of the best I've had.

This is THE place to be for an amazing meal or drink in Saltburn and surroundings! Come here with your friends, family or pets to enjoy a great time at a very cozy and vibrant cafe! Their menu is refreshing! LOVE IT

Sat in the window and have a lovely breakfast sarnie and tea BUT seems archaic to be using sauces in plastic little packets in 2023. Why? I really hope they get rid of these!

Plenty of things on them menu and there is extra seating upstairs which is a bit more chilled. The smoothies are so fresh and very tasty! Panini was gorgeous too, as was the side salad. Would return.

Booked for the Mexican street food evening during our stay at Saltburn, really enjoyed the food with friendly and prompt service.

So chuffed to find vegan options in Saltburn! This lovely little cafe had a great menu, there were four omnis and two vegans in our group and we all got something we wanted. Pictured is my tofu teriyaki bowl that was delicious. Would definitely recommend

Undoubtedly the best full English ever had, and we are in our 70's and well travelled. Decided to visit Saltburn and have a late brekkie. Signals menu looked good. Full English was beautifully presented with half bagel instead of toast. Homemade baked beans - a small amount of chopped tomatoes added. Perfectly cooked mushrooms with a twist. Egg perfect, tasty bacon and sausage and hash brown. The whole plate was roasting and stayed hot until finished. Filter coffee was very nice too. We were very impressed by the quality of food, the speedy and pleasant manner of the staff and the modern, clean, comfortable cafe. Extensive menu to suit all as well. Excellent.

Trying to 'posh up' a traditional English breakfast, messing with the beans & serving it covered in pepper??? If I want pepper on my breakfast I know how to use the shaker. Asked several times for extra milk for tea & they kept forgetting. Was told air con was on upstairs & it was like an oven. This place could be excellent with a bit more attention to detail.

I wouldn’t bother, it’s expensive dirty and the service was terrible, lots of better places to drink in Saltburn.

We are Russian Rappers. Spending every morning in this majestic place. Food is great, staff is charming, and the vibrations make me addicted to their full English breakfast stack. Recommended 130%☀️

Excellent a Sunday visit on a sunny day place was busy with inside and outside in use. Food was excellent huge portions and we did need a container to take some home definitely on for a return visit

Outstanding food. One of the best lunches of my recent life.

If you go to Saltburn-by-the-Sea then you have to eat here. The gyros are delicious and the breakfast bao buns were the most fantastic thing ever.

Do not come its a two tear service my food came in a paper bag but the next table came on a nice plate

Great selection of beers in the taproom. Had a lovely time sitting outside with an ipa.

Had a beer and some French fries in here. Bar man and cafe staff were really helpful and friendly, around 10 ales I’ve never heard of on offer, which I loved. Loved it in here.

Had a fantastic breakfast here this morning set us up for the day very quick and friendly service lovely place thank you

I love signals, their smoothies and nourish bowls are delicious and I regularly order to collect. I also eat in regularly, bring friends, family here so to give signals a mediocre review pains me. The food is always good, could use some more gluten free bread options though. Service however has dropped dramatically of late, long wait times for drinks when the restaurant is half full, asking 3 and 4 times for drinks after a half hour wait, it isn't what you expect especially when there were alot of staff on duty. However, when Jo I think her name is who has the cool coloured hair is on duty the service is on point from all. I'll be back but a couple of tweaks needed to return to form.

Absolutely spot on, called in for lunch whilst viewing houses in Saltburn with my father. Amazing breakfast! Well done !

Very nice dog friendly place . Friendly staff and nice food

Me and my partner had a full English and a meaty flat bread. All food was fresh, home made and of high quality. The breakfast was £12 with a drink which is top end price but definitely worth it, my partner said it was the best full English he had in a long time. Food came out in a very timely manner and coffee came with the food which is so much better than it coming out too early. Great service. Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again if we were in the area. Bonus was our dog could come along with us 😊

friendly bar upstairs, very welcoming, good selection of beers and cocktails, will definitely be back to try the coffee downstairs another day

The food was so good! But we were sad about the service we got. Some members of Staff were rude and weren’t friendly at all.

I’m the fussiest person ever and only drink hot chocolate and then dislike about 95% of them but here I requested an extra strong hot chocolate and it was perfection…. Thank you

Gorgeous food , love it that dogs are welcome

Lovely lunch, chicken tikka naan and bao buns, good coffee. Very busy today but staff were helpful and our food arrived quickly. Repeat visit and we enjoyed the nourish bowls last time, the menu has something for everyone.

Great food.great service and dog friendly 👍

A lovely little cafe/taproom and a credit to saltburn. We had a nice lunch here, the food was lovely and the service was great.

We walking in for a coffee and got told off two staff we aren't serving food. I explained we only wanted a coffee, didn't seem a welcoming place.

Overly expensive for an experience closer to Mc Donald than a coastal place. -Just sent upstair in a cold welcome -no table service, just a stone cold QR code -Coke is just a can with a glass straight of the cheapest ikea catalog -Food was average, served in disposable bowl

Fantastic place we really enjoyed our hot drinks and a little. Definitely worth a visit. Thankyou

Had a lovely lunch with my husband, son, and grandson .We thought it would be a peaceful time, but unfortunately not there were several dogs in the cafe,which made it noisy with them barking. That's why 2 stars)

Went with some friends and received awful service: dirty tables, which when we asked to be cleaned, we were sprayed with cleaning products then the mess was just moved around. Service was very slow and when food came it was incomplete (some dishes never showed up at all). When we complained to our waiter he was rude. When we complained to the manager he apologised,said it was an IT issue (fine, tell us as soon as you know there is a problem), that they'd speak with staff and we'd get a partial refund to our accounts. 6 days later, no refund.

Only had soup and beer but a good selection of beer and two options for soup

Very nice food and excellent prices

Very dirty and full English seemed deep fried, Not be back.

Highly recommended! Great cafe, run by a fantastic team.

One of the best places to go for lunch and a hot drink. You can pay and order using a QR code and the food is so tasty! 😁

Seemingly never open during their supposed ‘business hours’. we always visit during the opening times advertised online and they never seem to be open.

Lovely food with great service!

We attended the pop up evening of food with guest chef Chris Finnigan. The 6 course menu was delicious and we went for the wine pairings too which was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and attentive. A very enjoyable evening.

Don’t be put off by the fact this place needs the outside painting, it is superb. Three of us went for Sunday morning breakfast. The breakfast choices are just right, including veggie options. The place was bustling -it looks like the locals know where to go. If you like good food in a busy cafe almosphere, good strong coffee and lots of friendly young staff you won’t go far wrong at Signals.

A little gem. Very busy at peak times but a great place and a fantastic team 👍

Excellent menu choices here, each item seasonal and unusual, not the run of the mill food found in every cafe nowadays. This place is unique, the food superb, and the atmosphere friendly and welcoming to all, from the young to the the old. Dogs are allowed. Seating available upstairs too, toilets are downstairs. No sea view from here but it is the perfect place to relax after a fabulous seaside stroll. I would highly recommend this cafe.

Had breakfast here this morning was beautifully presented and really good. Had the breakfast wraps from the takeaway too they are also really good

Okay food, that was expensive for what was presented. Dreadfully slow, mediocre service. We will not be rushing back.

Nice casual relaxed ambience , arrived 3.30 but no food orders , which was fine as we were stopping in for coffees , but go earlier if you want to eat .

8 of us went for coffee and scones this morning and were served by the amazing Tina. She knows what everyone wants and always has a ready quip and cheery word for us The coffee and tea is excellent and the scones and teacakes are delicious. I had a vegan slice which was generous and very tasty We are made to feel like family and love our Friday morning trips here, Thank you Tina and all the lovely staff at Signals from the Ladies and Michael from Our Lady of Lourdes ❤️

Enjoyable visit, welcoming staff, tasty food! We both had the breakfast flatbread, very tasty 😋 one of thr best parts was that it was dog friendly and roomy which was a great stop during our visit to saltburn on our week break in whitby
