Came to 'Boro' to watch PNE play. Trying a parmo was a must. Real ale and food were available here. Beer was good and expertly pulled by staff whose competence was 'well above the norm'. We both had a parmo meal and really enjoyed it. Thanks to the landlady at the 'infant Hercules' for suggesting we go here.

We came in today (01/07/24) Amazing atmosphere and such friendly staff. A big shout out to Quinn for excellent service, we were both made to feel comfortable and she was so helpful with our picky orders i cannot praise her enough, as a person who works in management in hospitality i can say she has customer service mastered. The food was delicious, i highly recommend the colonel burger, one of the best chicken burgers I’ve had. Very cheap pints as i only paid £1.50 for a pint of cider. The only reason I’m giving this review 4 stars instead of 5 was when the supervisor (i believe) brought over our desserts she was holding the spoons by the mouthpieces which was very unhygienic. Apart from that it was flawless and we will definitely be back.

Love the Issacs, the food is home cooked, love their dirty chips, the Hunters Chicken.. Not so much. But unlike Weatherspoons, it's homecooked. The staff, that i've met are cracking people, fun to talk to.. The choice of music on an afternoon is awesome, they get the rock and metal out for the students.. But it's my kind of music, Pantera, Sepultura, Slayer etc. They have a wide array of independant ales that I love trying, new ones every week I go. Tge po table is a quid though, cheaper at the Green Tree. All in all I love the Issac,I come back here every week. Highly recommend.

Great pub food and choice of beers. I had the chicken Parmo which is a decent size but came with big portions of thick cut chips, coleslaw, salad and sauce. With a pint of the local beer it came to only 13.40

We visited on a quiet Sunday evening. We were lucky to get there just before the kitchen was closing and wow, what a result. My wife and I shared the chicken combo for £15.99. The amount of chicken that you get, in various forms, was incredible and you also get a choice of chips, fries or spicy rice. We tried our best but we just couldn't finish everything. Well worth a visit.

Terrible meal here today, I requested my lunch and asked for the eggs to be cooked hard, not runny, they came slimy and the chips looked as if they had been cooked ages ago and then just put in the fat to warm up were greasy and soggy with burnt bits among the chip , We will never eat here again a really waste of money and slap dash attitude to presenting meals

This pub had some of the friendliest and most helpful staff I have come across, really made you feel welcome and at ease. Building is large and interesting with a lot of seating areas. It was very busy when I was in and to be honest some of the clientele was a little 'rough around the edges' which made relaxing a little more difficult. Food was excellent and well priced and beer selection was brilliant. Very impressed overall.

I won't be going back, not because I don't want to but apparently the open mic night doesn't allow lap dancing. I've been barred out of better places. In my hunt for a rich, gullible widow to buy me a space to reopen my hugely successful mental illness creative project called professor Maniac's Emporium of Wonder,the Isaac Wilson would be a brilliant venue but as a place it meet a rich, gullible widow it is not really the type of establishment to attract them as it's clientele, hence the 4 stars.

Ordered several different burgers for lunch (5 of us). It came fairly promptly but the burgers were very small although you got two in each meal, they barely filled the bun. They were also over done, verging on charcoal. The food was cheap and I guess you get what you pay for. Won't be coming back, it's a shame as the breakfasts are nice but the lunch time meals are severely lacking in quality.

Food is dreadful. I had a burger and it was the worst burger I have ever had. Supposed to be a double burger and the burger them self where so thin I would need two more to make a normal size one. The condiments are cheap and just taste like viniger only two pluses was that the chips where nice and kids portion where big. I use to come here all the time for food but since its been taken over the food has gone down hill so so bad. Don't waste your money on the food. Staff where very friendly tho

I have had some wonderful food in here previously , but sadly the last time i came it was tiny portions and this time when i came the Parmo was flavourless and hard around the edges and the cheese was rock hard around the edges , the same for my girlfriends , in fact she left hers and as i was hungry and stressed i ate some of hers , also there was no bechamel sauce in it either , the chips were nice - they always are but £8.89 each for 2 parmesans with no flavour is not good value and also smaller than what we used to get. Considering Covid signs for health and safety the toilets were an absolute disgrace toilet one - no lock on the door , toilet 2 - no seat , toilet 3 - no toilet paper , and out of the first 3 taps i went to use only one worked. The only saving grace for this pub is the selection of different drinks it serves and the staff who are hardworking , lovely lovely salt of the Earth friendly people - and always have been every time we go in - its just a shame the food and the toilets didnt meet the excellent staff and then you would have a winning pub - your staff are an absolute tribute to your Pub.

Me and my friend visited the Dickens Inn pub for lunch. We are students at Teeside University and regularly visited the Dickens.  We were greeted at the bar by a man called Mario that seemed to have a nice attitude and welcoming but that very quickly turned.  We ordered our food at 12:20. I ordered a ham and cheese panini and my friend ordered a chicken wrap. As we are student we only get 1 hour dinner break but usually we have more than enough time to eat. We waited patiently till 12:45 I then went to the bar and asked where the food was. The staff member Mario then rushed off and came out and shouted from a far distance “2 secs!” I then went back outside to my friend. It then got to 12:55 and we decided there wasn’t going to be enough time to eat and get to my next lecture which was at 1300pm. We then went to the bar and requested a refund as food shouldn’t take this long as it is a pub on campus I would’ve hoped food would be delivered in a more timely manner. The staff member (Mario) shouted from a distance again shouting “Oi, girls” we looked round in shock we had just been called out so rudely as he had the food in his hands but by this time it was too late, we explained to him we didn’t have time to eat it, he then turned around and walked back into the kitchen with our food. Mario then started slamming objects down shouting to his colleague that we wanted a refund in anger which made me and my friend quite frightened and uncomfortable when he did this.  He then started waving his arms in the air making us feel scared. His colleague then came round the bar and gave me and my friend a refund in cash however I paid on card but didn’t get given the option for a refund via card. A scary and belittling experience for two young students.
