Moonlight (crosby) - Sefton

I used to like the above song (as a reference to this restaurant) until Jamie Oliver ruined it in his advert! Anyone, I digress this is an independent review based my my experience today ordering from Moonlight in South Road, Crosby. I drive along South Road quite a lot, and have always noticed this place as there aren’t a lot of decent dessert shops within my locale. I didn’t actually realise that they did burgers and other similar savoury food choices. My son also noticed it a little while ago when we went for food at a nearby restaurant. Before going there to order, I did consult tripadvisor and was slightly concerned at the amount of negative reviews but remained undeterred as I wanted to give it a go. I must say that my experience does not reflect the several poor reviews posted on this site. I understand a few stem from long waiting times for delivery but that is not always the fault of the restaurant. Luckily, it is close enough for me to drive there myself to order a takeaway. Online pictures suggest the option to eat in although that may be another branch elsewhere it is take out or delivery only. In terms of the food, we all really enjoyed it. I purchased 2 milkshakes for the boys (Nutella brownie and lotus biscoff flavour), chicken popcorny loaded fries, buffalo dippers loaded fries and a Starship Burger essentially a bacon double cheeseburger. The boys gobbled up the fries and their milkshakes, who gave a big thumbs up. Mine was the burger and it was really nice. It’s done in a similar way to Five Guys I’d say as good as if not better than the latter but less expensive. Although not the cheapest, I’d say the prices are reasonable for what you get. I would have said McDonald’s is cheaper but they have also increased their prices lately so Moonlight is definitely a decent alternative. I went at around 4.30 5pm and the service was very good no issues over waiting time either. We’ll definitely be ordering again.

Came in here for my daughter as she wanted ice cream. Walked in to be completely ignored by the women who was serving. Was not busy was empty, if this was not for my daughter as I’d promised her I would have walked straight out no manners and service is disgusting. Never again

Ordered at 9.22 with expected delivery 10:20-10.40 however it didnt turn up until 11.34, it wasn’t a big order it was 2 milkshakes, 2 burgers and a hot dog. Rang the restaurant at 10.48 to be told it was going out and then rang again at 20 past 11 as it is not a far drive to be told the driver last 15 mins ago. When food arrived it was nice but no labels on milkshakes and both tasted the same although two different ones ordered.

Deserts and food are lovely but waiting nearly 1 hr 30mins for food to be delivered is a joke and when you call up they either end the call or the generic sorrt we are busy shame i wont order from here again its a joke

£11.50 for 4 scoops of ice cream Waterloo Liverpool not London The owner is a money grabber and prays on the public no English staff
