Cut & Chase in York

My friends and I came here back in March and it was wonderful!Sadly it doesn't get the same praise this time around.It wasn't terrible, but it was only okay.The atmosphere was very flat but the place was extremely noisy. We were given a table right in the middle of the room, and were surrounded by loud groups of people who were clearly out for Saturday night drinking, which is completely fine, but made it impossible for my partner and I to hold a conversation.We ordered drinks, my cocktail was missed and I didn't get it until the food came, they did apologise and I suppose it isn't a huge deal but it was slightly annoying.I had blackened cajun fish, and it was nice, but not amazing. My partner had steak, which he loved! Huge compliments to the chef.I had key lime pie which I hadn't had before and it was delicious, my partner had smores waffle, which he said was amazing.Overall the place was good. Maybe I was just having a bad night, or I'm getting old! But it was too noisy for my liking 😔

WOW! We stumbled across this little gem and decided to give it a try after reading all the reviews. I can honestly say, that if you want a taste of true american french deep south soul food, this is the place! We spoke at length with our amazing waitress who also happened to be the owner and she was so lovely. The food was not only delicious and faultless, but also piping hot and so fresh!Oh, and the cocktails are fab too! We can't wait to go back!UPDATE: We visited again 2 days later and had different dishes which were as delicious as the ones we ate on the our first visit. In addition, we were incredibly touched by the owners kind gesture! Thank you so much. I will be back in August with my husband 😁.

really fast service and amazing food. fresh food and tasty. friendly staff, good portions. wide range of drinks, cocktails and milkshakes. a little cold but nothing bad. clean and comfortable seating. not bad price, good location, 100% will go againupdate: revisited again, we’ve both been quite ill (both ends, no more info needed). food was still good and had amazing service, but an hour later we were in the toilet

An absolute pleasure to eat there! Greg our waiter was amazing and his suggestions for food were the best.If you are in York you have to try it!!!

What's not to like about fancy hanks.wamted to try it for ages.Funky decor, great food and great cocktails.Shrimp Po, cheeseburger, halloumi fries lush.Lovely staff.Would definitely go back.

My partner and I stopped here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Absolutely blown away by the portion size! The food was delicious too! Definitely will be coming back here next time I'm in York.

Great food, massive juicy burgers, lovely tenders. If you're in York, you gotta go here, great atmospheres

Some good dishes, but room for improvement.Burger was overcooked and tough and chewy.Buffalo wings needed dredging in buffalo sauce, were oddly dry, with the hot sauce woven into the batter / breadingOnion rings were superb - crisp, well seasoned, fresh sweet onionWaffle and chicken - chicken needed more seasoning, waffle didn't taste terribly freshShrimp - batter/breading was peeling awayFries - well cooked, well seasoned and flavourfulCocktails - ok, had a gin based one, with grapefruit and elderflower.Milkshakes were supposedly amazing, so said my friends!

Had a fabulous dinner last night.Starters were buffalo wings & buttermilk fried shrimp , both decent sized portions and delicious.For mains I had the short ribs and my wife the fish tacos, the short ribs were off the scale , the meat literally fell of the ribs ... yum yum.The tacos whilst tasting great only contained one small piece of chicken which was quite disappointing, I did mention this to our waitress who didn't look too surprised ( guess other diners have previously mentioned this ... ).For desert we shared a peanut brownie with icecream.All the above was washed down with draft beer... whilst on beer it would have made the experience a tad better to have had American beer on draft .. it's only a small point but I think valid.So overall a great dinner , lovely staff and apart from one point super food so big thanks to the kitchen .. just sort the tacos out 👍No hesitation in recommending Fancy Hanks.

Worth booking as gets busy. Dog friendly. Lovely staff & great service! Lovely American themed food, big portions. Very tasty. Would recommend!
