Ordered from the brunch menu, veggie breakfast and eggs royale. Both mine and my partner's eggs were completely hard and not at all yolky. Told the waitress when she asked, she apologised and offered to bring another. But by this point, we'd already eaten half of our meal. It was good but I expect eggs to be cooked correctly by a chef.

Had previously visited Ma's for James' very enjoyable Whisky Appreciation Event, and had eyed the eats menu then, so we booked a table for yesterday, and were favourably impressed by the delightful and efficient table service, and the three Scouse Pies plus drinks.... Highly recommend Ma Boyle's, and looking forward to James' Gin Experience in July..... Terry, Chris, and Ella

It was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was quite empty but the two girls serving were lovely and bright and made my husband's birthday meal a special occasion for him, presenting him with a sticky toffee pudding dessert with a candle. The steak was gorgeous and the sauces which accompanied it very tasty and plenty of it. I would go back there the next time I go to Liverpool.

One of our favourite places to eat when in Liverpool. As usual the experience of dining here was a very satisfying one. Lovely food, served by a happy to help staff, all at a reasonable price. Will of course be returning.

Quite a squeeze inside when busy. Great choice of drinks especially if you are Rum drinker. Food very tasty but not particularly large portions. It was value for money though I suppose. Having said that, it was a pub and not a restaurant.

Food was ok (nothing special), beer was nice and service was good and friendly. Overall it was a nice enough lunch, worth what I paid (I had a half price voucher), but I don't think I'll go back again.

I have not been there for a while but liked the food the last time I went. I had the burger and it came with some sad looking lettuce leafs, no tomato as stated and they forgot the coleslaw. Then we had some workman drilling right next to our table so was unable to enjoy my lunch or have a proper conversation with my colleague. Having said that our waitress was very pleasant.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. There first table we were given was in a noisy part of the pub, but they quickly moved us to a quieter location. My rib eye steak was beautiful - cooked as I like it. Will definitely return.

Music was good but eat somewhere else. My choices for both starter and main course were not available and the main course I eventually got - Lasagna - was so small I thought they were joking. My companions (3) each got what they ordered but nobody felt the food was of sufficiently high standard. In future we will listen and drink there but eat elsewhere.

Ma Boyle's is a great little pub in a quiet location just by St Nicholas church. My wife and I usually pop in for a glass of Merlot when we're in the area. Our last visit was with 4 friends, atmosphere was really good and so was the food. Highly recommend

Fantastic birthday meal, service and food absolutely spot on, the staff went out of their way to make the evening special. One draw back was that some items on the menu where not available, the guys put it right. We will definitely be back to enjoy this eatairy again.

Ordered the scouse, arrived piping hot and delicious. My sister decided to try the fish and chips. The chips were tough and on the cold side. On mentioning it to the waitress and bowl of freshly made chips was quickly brought over, without fuss. Nice ambiance, traditional pub with friendly staff. Live music added to the enjoyment of the evening. On the downside, no toilet tissue in the ladies loos! In fact we came last week, same problem then.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Booked here through the quandoo app and had a great night. Very attentive waitress and nothing was too much trouble even though the place was very busy. Atmosphere was spot on. Our party had Caesar salad, meatballs and the burger, everybody loved the food which had the homemade touch and went down a treat. I would also recommend the lovely pink fizz cocktails as well as their Liverpool Gin. We'll definitely be back soon

The place was packed and I was really bothered that the table had not been booked but it had! We had a reserved table downstairs awaiting us.The staff were very friendly and the food we had was delicious but we had to wait a long time for our drinks and meals.The waitress started off by telling us what was not available and this was extensive.So overall a disappointment but would visit again when not so busy.

Food was delicious, service unfortunately was not great. Plus they only had one type of dessert left (luckily it was one we both liked). Would recommend the pies and my husband's burger looked yummy too.

Nice homemade pie & chips, although slightly too salty. Excellent tempura prawns. Meaty flatbread was doughy thick bread rather than flat, not especially meaty, and again salty with ham - really needed a sharp note e.g. chutney, pickles or balsamic onions. Lots of dishes out of stock. Only 2 choices for desert, but great millionaire shortbread.

It was a nice place, small and cosy, but not overwhelmed with the food. Meal was a bit slow coming and broccoli undercooked, it wasn't bad but not too keen on whopping big Yorkshire pudding on the top of everything!

Nice atmosphere, not ate here before but a nice table, friendly waitress and lovely sharing starters, but mains were a bit disappointing, chips soggy, blind scouse almost totally blind! couple of other gripes but manageable, given it's a pub. I was excited by the jazz band but they played the wrong stuff for a Saturday night city centre venue and sadly the place emptied during their first set and we lost the atmosphere. Would return and always great place for a drink with friends.

Great ambience and atmosphere, food was great only issue was the long wait due to large Christmas party tables. It would have helped if we were correctly advised of waiting times for food, we were rushing during our lunch break.

This is our third visit to Ma Boyle's within 5 weeks; which says a lot in itself. Being a Saturday it was very busy, but the staff were attentive and helpful. There was a near disaster at the start of the evening; when all the party decorations and cake, that I'd dropped off the night before, couldn't be found. However it was resolved and a complimentary round of drinks by way of an apology, was appreciated. Thank you. Ma Boyle's for a great evening.
