"I 've been occasionally popping into the West Coast Rock Café on trips to Blackpool for years, to the degree that I could 've sworn I 'd already reviewed it, but on checking my previous reviews, I apparently haven 't, which is something I will remedy right now! Everybody who knows Blackpool knows of West Coast Rock, and anyone who is a visitor and who doesn 't, should make the effort to find out, because it 's well worth hunting out its blink-and-you 'll-miss-it tiny front entrance, which comprises of nothing but a door with a staircase leading upwards, and some bright yellow signage. It 's near the tower. It bills itself as a family restaurant and music venue, but it is what in the USA would be known as a Dive Bar. That 's not an insult in any way, it 's their term for a place that is rough around the edges, casual, with a focus on good casual food and drinks, and usually live music. West Coast Rock Cafe is big on all of these, and their style inside is dark red walls and ceilings, painted wall art and illustrations, even illustrations on the tables, and old furniture. It works. It works really well for what they 're doing. The service is casual and friendly, staff treat everyone like regulars and smiles are always in view. The menu is burgers, steaks, sandwiches, classic American favourites, and some Mexican options. All the burgers are named with tongue in cheek and a sense of humour, ie a plain hamburger is called The Boring Burger , and the rest of the menu shares the same fun and casual style, as well as the same style illustrations from around the restaurant too. This time round we ordered a Double Decker Club Sandwich from the West Coast Favourites section, and a Hill Street Blues Burger. Waiting for your food here is perfectly pleasant too, because as well as the excellent music videos playing and music generally, the restaurant is on the first floor with wrap-around windows, making it great for people-watching over the pedestrianised streets. The food arrived pleasantly presented. The burger was juicy, with oozy blue cheese topping caramelised onions and mushrooms, which really kicked the flavour up a few notches. The club sandwich was surprisingly filling, and with the addition of cucumber in the mix, it really gave the sandwich a bit of bite and pop. The fries on both meals were lovely and crisp and hot. One thing we noticed was that the burger came with a sauce, and we couldn 't quite place what it was, was it a chilli mayo or a paprika mayo? We asked the server who told us that it was the chef 's so-called 'dirty sauce ', made with ingredients such as mayo, Cajun spices, and lime juice. Thing is, it 's a really nice sauce, and not even mentioned on the menu, when it deserves to be, because it was something created not bought. The food was excellent as always, and once again even though we didn 't get a starter, we had no room for dessert. I swear one day I 'll be able to manage a dessert at West Coast Rock Cafe... in fact some day I might go JUST for dessert... maybe to try The Fudgezilla, but I don 't know if I could bring myself to go to Blackpool and to West Coast, and NOT have their delicious food! Give it a try, it 's fun, it 's casual, and it 's good quality. It won 't break the bank either."

Great restaurant. All the food options were excellent and I certainly enjoyed every meal I had here during this week.

Staff very courteous and polite, great choice of food American Mexican style mainly one you might pass by if just walking around but worth getting directions for and checking out when you're hungry!

Great food when you're feeling dirty! Awesome King Kong burger for anyone who needs a fill and quite reasonably price too. Book a birthday meal in advance and the birthday boy/girl gets a free meal complete with birthday balloons! And there's even a rock club upstairs too!

A very good attempt at American Diner fare. Huge portions (so much so that always forego the incredibly appetising dessert always too full ! , excellent food (freshly cooked Especially good Mexican dishes. Am sure will return over and over again. Much better than you would expect looking at the exterior of the place (sorry west coast

If u love mexican food then this is the place for u! Fantastic food. They do burgers, chilli, fajitas, steaks, salads, huge ice creams, and much more. Huge servings, never had a bad meal fab. This is based on two floors, 1st floor for food and the other for band nights. You do have to go up some quite steep stairs to get to get there Which is the only bad point with this place. If you have babies, you have to take them out of the pushchair and carry them. Also old people may struggle.

We went in here because of the yelp reviews and I have to say I agree. We turned up without a reservation so waited for a table at the bar but the staff were friendly and accomodating. When we sat down to eat the food was awseome, definitlely worth the money. The music was cool too. Very much what you would want from an american diner. Didnt know whether to sibg along to the music or eat! Fab little place tucked away but defo worth a visit! If I ever go back to blackpool im eating here again!

I doubt anyone who wasn't a local would go in here because you have to go through a dubious little door next to Next and up a dodgy looking set of stairs. However if you're looking for American diner style food then you are in for a treat. West Coast is a large restaurant on the 2nd floor of that building (with a music space above it) and it's the type of place you have your birthday party or you just go for some guilty pleasure food. Perfect at milkshakes, burgers, steaks the works, the menu is so large you'd be hard pushed not to find something you like. I'm particularly fond of their not at all healthy chicken Caesar salads and their yum mozzarella sticks. It's not very expensive either,...

Have to agree with the previous review that says nobody who isn't local would go. The entrance IS a bit dodgy looking, a narrow doorway, and stairs straight up, BUT give it a go, once you get up the stairs it opens up into a funky looking bar/restaurant that had a stream of folk the entire time I was there, obviously regulars, as a few were greeted like old friends. The dodgy doorway made me double check the menu before I went in, and the chalk board outside advertising half price burgers (a regular Monday night deal was what caught my eye initially! The tall guy behind the bar was really friendly and took me to my table, they then had a rush of customers, so I was left to my own devices for...

A fortnight ago, my family and I went on holiday to Blackpool to celebrate mine and my husband's 24th wedding anniversary. We have previously had pleasant and joyful experiences at this restaurant and did on our last visit in June 2023. However, this visit was deeply disappointing. We visited on a Tuesday with the hopes of purchasing the half price steaks for our anniversary dinner with our two daughters. My daughter and I went up to order and asked for the steaks as they were on a deal that day. We were informed by the man who was working the bar at the time (he himself was completely lovely and is not at fault in this situation) that this deal was available in the upstairs area only. We ex...

"Wonderfully welcoming and accommodating, and fantastic food, cooked to perfection. Chose this restaurant due to fantastic reviews. I 'm currently on a restricted diet and couldn 't see anything obvious on the menu for me, but since the restrictions make food a bit boring for me anyway, I thought my family may as well enjoy something delicious, even if I couldn 't. I emailed in advance to double check they could accommodate me and there would be something I could eat and they were very positive and willing, informing me they cook everything to order so anything could be left off according to my needs. The person I had emailed came over specifically to take our food order and help me find something from the menu, made different suggestions to make it more interesting, and had even googled the name of the diet I 'm on and been out to buy vegan mayonnaise especially for me. They gave me extras of things I could have to make up for bits I couldn 't. When my food came, it was exquisitely cooked and managed to be really delicious, despite me not being allowed lots of the things you 'd normally use to add flavour! My husband and parents were absolutely delighted with their starters and mains and saying things like 'it was worth coming to Blackpool just so we could eat here ' (it 's about a 6hr drive for us). We were too full for dessert so I can 't comment on that but with friendly, helpful and accommodating staff, and freshly cooked delicious food, I 'd thoroughly recommend!!!"
