The Wildcard Bar And Grill in Sheffield

Terrible establishment, booked lunchtime for a table. Got all the way to restaurant and it to be cancelled due to being over booked. Avoid the shambles of management

Really attentive staff serving our table for a leaving meal. Nice atmosphere to watch the football in too. Slightly disappointed by the menu options and the quality of some of boneless chicken wasn’t very good but the chicken wings were better and the Mac and cheese was lovely!

WOW what's happened used to be our favourite place! Love this place and have visited many times over the years. Usually the best burgers in Sheffield proper butchers fare but tonight they tasted like cheap catering burgers and absolutely full of fat.Really disappointing as at the price they charge I would expect better. Please go back to your old supplier. Everything else was great.

The old casino. It has been done up nicely. Would not show boxing despite being a sports bar.

Very friendly, polite staff. Nice surroundings. Pleasant afternoon. I will definitely return.

Was served by Fran today and her service and commitment to making sure we enjoyed our meal was exceptional. Thankyou very much

Loved the food and atmosphere. Fran was amazing! However I found it very disappointing that the waiters aren’t aloud to accept tips! How disgusting from the company that they don’t let there employees get rewarded for their exceptional service. The company seriously need to re-evaluate this! How can they expect there staff to work hard if they aren’t incentivised?

Fran was amazing definitely deserves to keep tips very good customer service.

We've just been to Wild Card for a family meal to celebrate my daughters birthday. 3 of us wanted to order the Memphis BBQ plate only to be told it wasn't available. Not a great start to the evening. I ordered the Buffalo prawn skewer. £19.50 for 7 prawns (that tasted of nothing) a handful of salad and a dish of the saltiest fries i have ever eaten! The rest of us ordered an American double cheese burger (which wasn't eaten because the patty was burnt and he cheese sauce was lumpy and greasy). Touchdown Cajun chicken tacos (which was average). Boneless basket loaded fries (with chewy chicken). BBQ pulled pork stone baked pizza and Chick N Kiev loaded fries, which were both thoroughly enjoyed. Please be aware this is a sports bar, and it is very, very loud. Also, a 10% service charge is automatically added to your bill, which is one thing that i do not agree with. IF I want to leave a tip, I would like to decide how much that will be. Overall, I didn't enjoy anything about the Wildcard Bar and Grill, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The food was good as was the service. It is getting expensive, but show me somewhere that isn't. Music might have been a bit loud today! Overall worthwhile.

This is a good place for pub food and watching major sports events. We didn't want to watch the football on TV when we visited this time so we were seated on the verandah which was ok but found the traffic noise a bit much and the wind blew one of our drinks over! My nachos, although very nice, weren't the home baked variety I was hoping for. One of our party ordered a caesar salad but was presented with a cheesy garlic bread! A member of staff started clearing plates whilst one of our party was still eating.....sorry, but totally unacceptable. All in all, not a terrible experience but some areas of service left a little to be desired .

All in all it's a decent sports bar, but not somewhere I'd pick for a sit down meal. Food is expensive and bog standard, if a little poncy, and for the price I'd expect something a little more unique. Service isn't great, staff are generally quite stand offish (it wasn't particularly busy when I visited, which would make it more understandable). Toilets are clean but had no soap when I visited. Seating arrangement is quite crowded and I'd worry about accessibility for wheelchair users.

This review is for the food only. Went here with family and freinds would'nt have been my choice as the selection in minimul. The food is absolutley awful and so overpriced for the quality, £16.50 for loaded fries which were basically cheap fries with slop on top, they garnish nearly everything with spring onion and chillis, does'nt hide whats underneath. We also had the Buffalo chicken wings £10 for ten and very small again these were awful and like something you would get at a cheap takeaway, the sauce was like vinegar! I had the BBQ plate £22 i asked if it was big was told yes, it wasn't; again was served with the cheap chicken wings but these were deep fried and worse than the Buffalo ones, mac&cheese with pulled pork (or lack of it) and 2 scraggy pices of sweetcorn which were inedible, the half rack ribs were ok but lacked sauce, all the food from all our party was not eaten its just poor pre frozen pre packed garbage. Pints of beer were £6.50 and for a bar thats not even in central Sheffield is silly prices. The bar itself is nice and modern and has a good atmosphere and is great for sports events but think thats where it ends it needs either to stop selling food or reduce it by at least 50% as you would get better quality and Wetherspoons! If this type of food is your go to stick to either TGI Fridays or Five guys or even your local takeaway as they blind this places food. I can't understand why this place has decent reviews for food (if there real) its overpriced Iceland food and not even in a decent location. You could eat and drink in central Venice, Rome, Barcelona even New York cheaper than this place and they add on a service charge of 10% for the privelidge which is not an option? Look at the prices and options on the menu before you go or book then look at the other place you were thinking of and book that! Out of 5 Food - 1 Service - 4 (but not with the 10% mandatory service charge) Bar area/Atmosphere - 4 Prices - 1

We went for the euros final , despite the disappointing result. We had a lovely time at this venue. The staff were so hard working and did an amazing job.

Great venue good food great service

Great place to go with friends or family to watch football & have food & drinks, the food is great quality & always is consistent every time I go & they have a good choice of drinks also. I definitely would recommend coming here!!

Amazing brunch . Went in as last minute thing this morning.absolutely delicious full English brunch -“The whole nine yards “ The waitress was lovely helpful and cheerful. Would eat here again in a heartbeat

food was nice but service wasn’t the best, second time i’ve come and had to ask to get a waiter for food and drinks. drinks took ages to make along with them coming to us asking for check back. food was lovely however

Amazing place with fantastic staff. Watched the Rugby in our personal booth while also watching the football on the big screens. Food was great also! thanks team Wildcard, see you again soon.

Decent food and good selection of drinks. Attentive staff with really good knowledge of allergy information (one of us was gluten free).

Food was okay although the prices are a bit high for what it is. Service was pretty decent too. We went during the off season for sports so hard to judge the atmosphere hence the average star-age

I went here to see the FA Cup final. It was a decent atmosphere. I had a pizza. The pizza was good. I would never come here for a drink, a family night or a date, but for footy, it was fine. Not cheap.

Here for fundraiser. Had lovely food. Only dropped a bit as I like spicier. Otherwise wonderful time had here

Really disappointed with the visit, supposed to be a sports bar but F1 took priority over the championship playoff final, no commentary on speakers until and hour had passed on the game, won't be back, if Id have know this was going to be the case I'd have gone somewhere else,

My first time, what a great place

Fun rowdy sports bar with a good US style menu. Burgers are tasty.

Booked months in advance ready for the boxing, only to be emailed a few weeks the event to be told they're not showing it. Poor decision making, its suppose to be a sports bar, wasting people's time and ruining plans. Sort it out.

Expensive for low quality overcooked food. Sorry but I won't be returning.

Shame… my first ever bad review. Usually good here but went for my 7 year olds birthday as a treat.. paid to shuffle board. Timer was started when our starters were delivered. Ate and then played two slides each way before the mains were delivered 6 minutes later. Ate mains… and the board had been tidied. A total of 8 minutes play….

Typical sports bar. Staff were friendly and the Guinness was good. Too many screens for me though. They did have a Guinness head printer which is a great addition.

Great place,cant fault the food and portion size,really enjoyed it and great atmosphere with a good selection of beer

I know it was Mothers Day, but a 2 hour wait for your main is pushing it. They clearly needed more staff, with that or they judt took 2 many bookings, you could see families complaining about the wait.

Slightly disappointed today, serviced was slow orders missed and food average. Not what it used to be or was designed to be.

Good atmosphere, great for sports. Average food a bit pricey

Fantastic gem of a sports bar. One of the best I've been to in the UK. We travelled from Doncaster to watch the Superbowl there and weren't disappointed. Food was fantastic (the wings were particularly excellent!) and the beer variety was stellar. Fantastic atmosphere, love the decor. Will definitely be visiting again next time we find ourselves in Sheffield! Thanks!

Garish sports bar full of Love Island wannabes.

Perfect pancakes! Nice place. Good service.

Always great food and atmosphere. Staff really attentive. If Carlsberg made sports bars 👍

Food was amazing and staff were great 👌

Very busy popular sports bar based in a former casino on the Eccleshall Road. The restaurant has a lot of sports memorabilia and several giant screen TVs showing a variety of sports. The menu is basically burgers plus but the burgers are very good. The prices are reasonable. The popularity of the place does mean that service can be slow but the staff are very friendly. There's no parking attached to the venue. There's paid parking on the road or in nearby car parks.

Poor stock control Manager not very competent Spoilt my Granddaughters 18th birthday for me

Brilliant place, great atmosphere and lovely food although the chips were very sparse

Wasn’t expecting anything special food wise in a Sports bar on a Monday night. So was very surprised by the quality of food. Great ingredients well cooked. We could have been in a decent restaurant by the standard of the cooking. Well done chef.

Fantastic food, very warm and welcoming service and a great atmosphere. Prices match the quality of the food and drink, looking forward to returning.

Amazing experience at the wildcard! The atmosphere here is great, the food is delicious (the portion sizes are very generous) and the drinks selection is brilliant. The service we received was so friendly and a special shout-out to Dylan who went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great, thank you. We will definitely be returning ❤️

Great venue 👌🏻 and walking distance from my home in Millhouses so spot on.

This is the second year running that we’ve chosen this venue for our family New Year’s Eve celebration. We came at lunchtime straight from the pantomime and were a party of 25 adults and children. We were seated on one long table upstairs. The staff were fabulous. They were friendly, and attentive and the service went smoothly in spite of the place being very busy. All of our food came out hot and all our meals served together. It is very good value, especially the children’s meals which are plentiful and tasty. Personally it isn’t my favourite choice of food but having said that I ordered the chicken skewers with flatbreads, salad and chips and it was delicious. I would not hesitate to return again to the venue especially for a family event. There is something for everyone with the big screens featuring spirts, the pool table and shuttle board to amuse the kids. Also the cocktails are brilliant. Thank you all.

We went at 6.45pm on 31st December with our 5 year old. We were shown to our table but then nobody came to take a drinks order until I went to find someone after 20 mins. The waitress apologised that we had been forgotten about. Part of the drinks order was incorrect when brought to us. The food was OK but the menu is quite limited unless you are totally into an American Diner flavour. Very limited wine list and options for vegetarians. We were quickly reminded when our time slot was nearly over. I wish they had been as on the ball when we arrived! Overall we were a bit disappointed with our experience.

We were all really disappointed that the food was below normal standard. They were also out of burgers which is normally a go to for our family. This made our options limited as some of us also don’t like pizza. We had a mixture of items off the menu and were all disappointed as a whole. It’s put us off heading back any time soon.

Good variety of food to choose from and priced competatively.

Visited March 23 for a family birthday & it was fantastic. Great atmosphere & we loved it. So different today. No atmosphere unfortunately and staff seemed so miserable compared to last time. I booked the table in July for upstairs to make sure we could play pool and shuffleboard like last time but unfortunately they weren’t available unless we paid £5 per 30 mins. I wish I had known about the cost before I booked. Fortunately the food was ok so not all bad. Disappointed to say we will not be returning.

We were a group of x23 friends who went to Wildcard for a Christmas celebration. The booking process for pre ordering food was really simple and seamless, everyone ordered their own dishes and paid on the night (a £5.00pp deposit was required and deducted from the final bill). Thanks to Ellie for your help in the run up to the event. We were sat upstairs, it was great for our party, we had a wonderful time, the staff were lovely, all very helpful and kept checking on us. We chose to order our own drinks from the bar, but the staff did offer to take drinks orders for us and add it to the final bill. The food was decent, pretty much what we expected and priced correctly. I'd recommend Wildcard to anyone looking for a social event for a group, the atmosphere was fab and it all went really well, huge thanks to all the staff who helped us out and made us feel welcome.

Great American style bar. Good service. However the chilli beef tacos wasnt good. It was watery, tastless and the consistency was poor. A chef would not have allowed this to be served. They must have employed a cook at short notice. Due to the expense you would have thought the small cup of sour cream and advacordo was part of the tacos deal instead they charge £1.25 for each.

Great staff, lovely food. We joiined them for our works Christmas party. There are a couple of good games tables too.....pool and Shuffle board I think it's called.

Not your average sports bar. The food is banging and service is top notch!

We Celebrated my daughter in laws 30th last night, food was outstanding and our waitress really went above and beyond to accommodate our needs so Thank you . We would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again

Celebrated my daughters 18th with a big family meal off 22 people, We all had a great time the service we had was excellent they couldn’t do enough for us

Great atmosphere and excellent food.

On arrival there was a large group of people smoking, swearing & blocking the entrance. Bouncer on the door seemed oblivious to it all. Had to almost push our way through to get inside. (This was at 7pm on a Saturday evening.) Once inside, staff were helpful and the food was great. Just spoilt by poor first impression.

Eaten here many time as a family and with friends. The menu has been changed which is fine but the veggie starters are very limited, either garlic bread or mushrooms. The best veggie dish bang bang cauliflower is no longer on there. The meals that the family had were really tasty but not be rushing back due to poor choice of veggie starters.

We went here for our anniversary :) had a lovely meal food was delicious and cocktails were fab. Watched some football and played some pool good experience all around 😊

First time visiting, great food, great atmosphere, can’t wait to get back there.

Had my 50th Birthday yesterday, 17 people in total, we were well looked after - really enjoyed it thank you guys Awesome

Great chicken wings. Rest of food was good too

We like it here - ok, the meat eaters like it more than the veggies, as there aren't a lot of veggie options. But for a family meal out, it works well.

Good food and most important friendly welcoming staff.This was the first place we visited whilst we spent the day in Sheffield and was really impressed with how friendly and helpful the waiters were and will be sure to visit again if im ever close

Food average, It reckons it's a luxury sports bar, It's just like any other sports bar as far as I can see, I wouldn't recommend this place for kids as there was a lot of swearing from other punters where we were sat, Food was ok, nowt special, won't be rushing back. Have to say that the Staff were great, very helpful.

Sadly we were not impressed. Good venue but service was slow, food was dreadful (unless you like deep fried over cooked food) and massively over priced for quality and quantity. The coffee was ok though and might go back with the children as plenty of space, seemed child friendly. I try to support local businesses but this was disappointing.

Third time we have been here for food. Can't fault the service or the quality of the food. Would recommend a visit. Try the habanero hot wings 🔥

Great sports bar. You can watch any sport even in your own booth with your own tv. Food was great and good size portions. Good selection of beers and cocktails. Staff were helpful and with a smile. Loads of sporting memorabilia on the walls including my team Sheffield Steelers. Only down side no parking on site but weekend road parking and a Co-op opposite, but if your on the pitchers of beer you shouldn't be driving.

Unfortunately this place has gone down hill on food and service . As a regular customer I have visited more than 10 times and each time things seem to be getting a little worse . The quality of food has drastically reduced but the prices have increased (I understand food costs increasing and don’t mind paying it if quality remains the same) Customer service has also gone down hill with servers now totally disinterested with serving you , no check backs , personal service , conversation and never a smile but more than happy to keep pushing you to buy second drinks and more bothered about chatting to each other. You have a great building , concept which should be great American food with great drinks and service with sports being shown but your food and service is letting you down !

First visit & couldn't fault the place, service was fabulous, cocktails & food brilliant. I live locally but thought for some reason it wasn't for me..... But it so is! Will be back soon. Thankyou team Wildcard, great job.

Was looking forward to eating here as had read good reviews, unfortunately that was not the case for us. Ordered loaded fries which was literally all cheese and 5 small pieces of garlic covered chicken. The two who had this both left 2/3 as the cheese was overwhelming. The waitress unfortunately didn’t want to ask us if we enjoyed our meal as clearly we hadn’t. The other person in our party had a meal with flatbread which was cold and hard. It wasn’t a great experience for food and hate service charges being added when we had left the majority of food. Lesson learned not to return!

The veggie breakfast and tater tots were incredible, really really great food and great service from Lucy who looked after us the entire time. Would 100% recommend coming here for their new breakfast menu. Lots and lots of options to choose from for all, staff are accommodating to needs.

Service was great and food was good

If you like unsophisticated, noisy, megga-TV dominated mayhem , this is for you. But I'll not be going again...

Lovely service, great food helpful staff.

Great food, good atmosphere, service was friendly.

Very friendly staff and the best cinnamon bun I've ever tried 👌 Very recommended!

Great food and fantastic atmosphere. Staff were super friendly too

Harry the manger is fabulous but not as fabulous as the rest of the staff who are amazing but still not as great as FIONA who goes above and beyond! Best cocktails I’ve had in an age, most attentive and smiley and fun and deserves a massive substantial raise we love Fiona # Fiona rocks Amazing 😻

Lovely place, good environment, pleasant staff

Really enjoyed the food here. I visited with 3 friends & we had prebooked and got sat in a booth with its own TV. We could request what channel we wanted on (my friend wanted to watch a Leeds match). The only thing that lets it down slightly is lack of parking, although that's an issue for a lot of places in that area. I parked on a street nearby but a good 5/10 minute walk away. Would like to visit again in the future 😊

Great place nice food selection.

Impressive sports themed bar and restaurant. Called in on a quiet Saturday lunchtime when there was only a handful of people in. Had to wait to be shown to our seats (can't we just have a pint at the bar or overlooking Ecclesall Road?). Food looked good but we didn't eat. Could be THE place to watch The Ashes.

New and clean with lots of space. Definitely more of a restaurant vibe than a sports bar. Sadly didn’t enjoy my visit as we sat upstairs and the railing blocked the view of the big screen. High-top tables would have been better for the upstairs tables that rely on the screens above the bar. Service was also a little slow with drinks and our orders being forgotten. Would have preferred a bar upstairs that we could use rather than table service.

Great food, great atmosphere but service a little slow

Particularly attentive Service, lovely food and drink.

The food and drinks was excellent! Great place to watch football but I wish they had the commantary on instead of the background music. The food service wasn't the best and a service charge was also added to the bill.

I have been here a few times and you can feel invisible to bar staff up to 20 mins on occasions

Brilliant place. Good drinks, loads of games. Staff are OK. Overall cracking. Nice curry house next door ish too.

Good place, very nice staff, delicious food :) Recommend :)

Don't spend money on a drink before you check out smoking rules. Nice outdoor terrace at the front but you can't have a smoke with your drink on it. No prominent sinage which I hate. You can smoke at the side of the building but can't take your drink with you so bit like smoking by the bicycle sheds. Don't mind segregation buy it's not illegal and the people don't go there to drink fresh juice and work out on treadmills. Appart from that tasty food and pleasant staff . Just think a business taking monney for alcoholshould make these restrictions clear before you spend .

Great food and drinks and the staff were a great help. Bit more volume on the sports and less on music would be good.

The food was amazing just the service let it down. We booked and they asked us to make sure we arrived at 6 for our table and wasn't ready when we got there so had a drink in the bar which took forever. The staff were focusing on table orders and ignoring people wanting service and then finally got served. Then the waitress just was very tentative and we waited ages for drinks etc and we could see drinks on the end of the bar for time. Not sure I would visit ahain

Cracking sports bar, soooooo many tvs to choose from. Food is decent and staff friendly.

If you like sports bars you will enjoy this place. Plenty of TV screens good selection on the menu. Only disappointment for me was no real ale.

Great family dining experience. Thoroughly enjoyed by all in our party.

20 wings is all you need when you come here. Good food and drinks . Plenty of screens for footy.

Me and my family (four kids) are big American food fans. Specifically, wings, and having tried various restaurants up and down the country, it's honestly impossible to find good wings. Impossible! The wild card is an exception. The wings are perfect. The chips are salted in seasoned salt. Honestly, even thinking about it makes me want to book again. We visited with our four kids on a Saturday afternoon . The staff were lovely, good humor, and attentive. You don't have to sit around looking to find staff members to place orders or get a top up, and if you're a sports fan, they have it covered. It's an killer place, and I will definitely be visiting again soon. Good job, guys.
