    Service is too slow. Burnt and dirty plates. This place is going downhill. 😢 Update August 10: Gave the ol Dodger another chance but this time the order was not done as I wanted and the burger bun was charcoaled. Salad lettuce is low quality - use greener lettuce and more than just two slices of tomatoes and one slice of cucumber. Also, the restaurant runs out of things frequently when you want that one the most on that day. The only thing the consistent, alas, is the beer. But I wish you would use the same style glasses so nobody feels unsure if they got a true amount of beer. During full house, please consider hiring more than two workers. The meals are taking a long time. I watched a person order a meal and he was patiently waiting for almost an hour. Luckily, I was just drinking beer at the time. I would love to keep coming back here but it's getting harder and harder. Please make some improvements. Be exceptional.

    (Translated by Google) The service attitude of the staff is very good! The meals are also good. The tomato flavor of the thick soup is very good, it is delicious with toast, but unfortunately I did not have the handmade bread> < Some meals are not sold because of the epidemic. Q_Q I ordered shepherd’s pie and chicken chop for the main meal this time. The flavor of banana pie is very strong, recommended (。ì _ í。) (Original) 店員們的服務態度很好!餐點也不錯。 濃湯的番茄味很夠,沾吐司很好吃,可惜沒吃到手工麵包> < 還有一些餐點因為疫情關係,所以沒有販售Q_Q 這次主餐點了牧羊人派跟雞排,份量很足夠 香蕉派的味道很濃郁,推薦(。ì _ í。)

    This is my second review of the place. This time, December 14, my visit was not so good. My wife and I arrived shortly before a couple of larger groups arrived. I ordered beer and a burger. My wife ordered the pasta special. The food was pretty good but the service was not. As a former restaurant owner in the US I think the server was new, not trained and left I her own. My beer never showed up. The waitress was too busy with the larger tables so I wasn’t able to get her attention until I went to pay the bill. Restaurants make a pretty good percentage profit off of beverages. Beer takes a minute to prepare and serve while food can take much much longer. More time preparing means more labor cost. Gets the drinks to the table first so the customers can drink a bit while the food is being prepared. There is a better chance that a second beverage will be ordered. On another note, why out items in the menu if you are constantly not serving the item? In this case I am referring to French Dip. Perhaps it is only my bad luck but both times I went, the sandwich was not available. If it is a special item, take it off the menu and put it on the specials board when it is available. I will be back again but it will be a while.

    Thoroughly disappointed with my experience at The Artful Dodger. Arrived with my husband to have brunch at 12:05 and only got served our meals at 13:50. Almost a 2 HOUR WAIT. At some point I wanted to cancel the order because we had waited so long but I was told, the kitchen had already started preparing it…but we STILL waited to get our meals. I don’t blame the waiter, or even the kitchen staff. Clearly this is an oversight on the side of management. If your establishment is understaffed or not trained adequately to serve large numbers quickly and efficiently, it’s YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to do something about it. And if your kitchen staff are able to handle the numbers but were just being tardy on this particular day, that also needs to be addressed! Based on the reviews, I thought we were in for a treat, but unfortunately this will be the first and last time. Please do better.

    (Translated by Google) Think of a satisfying meal: the restaurant is bright, comfortable and spacious, and the staff is kind and attentive, and I feel that I really love the meals I made (the cake is made by herself according to the staff), and there is a comfortable service . The meal is fresh and delicious. The Mexican brown rice-flavored warm salad with salsa sauce and yogurt is very refreshing and smooth. The charcoal grilled chicken is not delicious, the pita Q bomb is chewy and the crust is delicious; the Parmesan chicken steak is super One slice, the chicken is juicy and tender. The seasoning is very delicious. French fries and salads are of a certain standard. The after-dinner carrot cake is a hot-selling signature according to the clerk. If you order it, you will love it: sweet but not greasy, it is delicious. People have repeated aftertastes. It is a recommended restaurant that I would like to visit again! (Original) 想到滿意飽足的一餐:餐廳環境明亮舒適寬敞,店員親切服務用心,感覺得出是真心熱愛自己製作的餐點(蛋糕據店員說是她自己做的),是有溫度令人舒服的服務。餐點新鮮美味,墨西哥糙米風味溫沙拉的沙拉搭配莎莎醬和酸奶十分清爽順口,碳烤雞肉不柴好吃,皮塔餅Q彈有嚼勁,吃得出麵皮香味;帕瑪森雞排超大一片,雞肉多汁鮮嫩調味適中十分美味,薯條和沙拉都有一定水準;餐後胡蘿蔔蛋糕據店員說是熱銷招牌,點來嘗試後果然令人喜愛:甜而不膩十分好吃,令人回味再三。是值得推薦且會想回訪的餐廳!

    Our party waited for over an hour for a sandwich, salad, and breakfast meal to be served. We had drinks served to us after 30 minutes of waiting. We were told to not order the fish and chips if we wanted to have our order come out sooner than 35 minutes, so we changed to a sandwich, but three plates of fish and chips came out to other tables at the same time after an hours time, and the sandwich we ordered came out long after that. There was poor management the day our group was there and it was a very busy day at the restaurant. There were dishes all over the counters so we assume they were understaffed that day. The sandwich had less than three slices of meat and we have had the sandwich there before a some time ago, and it was stacked full of meat inside. They wanted to charge us to add meat, but then said they couldn’t fulfill the order to add any. They didn’t even offer any kind of discount on the sandwich for their poor advice and service to make up for their mistake. We would have rather eaten the fish and chips in the first place. We have eaten here many times and the portion sizes and service continues to decline each time. The food flavors are excellent, but we will not frequent this place as much anymore.

    Good Bar and very good Burgers and fries! The beer was big and cold and the service great! Recommendable for lunch, dinner as well as to have a relaxed evening with friends or just to work a bit, if you don't want to sit as everybody in a Starbucks... National and international clients. Will for sure come back!

    (Translated by Google) Orthodox British meals! ! The restaurant atmosphere is very pleasant~ The boss is tall and handsome, and the sister who makes the cake is cute and lively The meals are introduced very carefully and there are some hidden foods that are not on the menu Today’s staple food is bad boy burger, double beef steak It's really bad when paired with a lot of evil cheese! ! Attach the dessert recommended by my sister😋 (Original) 正統英式餐點!!餐廳氛圍很愉快~ 老闆又高又帥,做蛋糕的姐姐很可愛又活潑 餐點介紹的非常仔細 還有一些菜單上沒有的隱藏美食 今天吃的主食是壞男孩漢堡 雙層牛肉排 搭配上滿滿的邪惡起司,真的夠壞!! 附上姐姐推薦的甜點😋

    New style to the place really makes it look like a british pub. I think the best thing is how many jokes the owner knows. Every time I go there, he's always got a new joke. One of those little things that makes it like home.

    (Translated by Google) I passed by several times and the business was very good. Sometimes in the afternoon, there will be people from the country basking in the sun to eat, and in the evening, there are more people from the country who have a dinner here. The store is very friendly! There are rare British fish and chips in the store. The chips are crispy and delicious. The spaghetti is blue cheese and chicken spaghetti. It does have a terrible taste of blue cheese, but adding it to spaghetti is not so scary. Instead, it has a back rhyme? Those who are interested can give it a try! The store’s homemade carrot cake is full of cinnamon scent. The sweetness is just right to eat after a meal. The taste is moist. I can’t help but think of the disappearance of Chiayi’s famous dessert shop. There are desserts in the house. (Original) 路過好幾次生意都很好,有時午後會有歪國人在戶外曬太陽吃飯,晚上則是有更多歪國人在此聚餐,店家很親切! 店內有少見的英式炸魚薯條,薯條脆脆的很好吃, 義大利麵是藍起司雞肉義大利麵,吃起來的確有藍起司可怕的味道,不過加在義大利麵就沒這麼恐怖了,反而有股後韻?有興趣的可以試試看! 店家自製充滿肉桂香味的胡蘿蔔蛋糕,甜甜的在飯後吃正好,口感偏濕,讓我不禁想到已消失的嘉義甜點名店屋子裡有甜點

    (Translated by Google) The meal is delicious The atmosphere is also very good Recommend cheese chicken steak The beef salty pie is not enough It should be shepherd’s pie, I feel better Big cake Recommend banana pie (Original) 餐點很好吃 氣氛也很好 推薦起士雞排 很大塊 牛肉鹹派份量稍嫌不足 應該要點牧羊人派,感覺好比較飽 蛋糕很大塊 推薦香蕉派

  • 5/5 saho w. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a really fun place to go and eat like a hungry little hippo. When to first walk up to the place, you are greeted with the most amazing cookies and pastries in Tainan! We knew we wanted to start with all of their delicious selections before we even ordered!! And we did so greedily. Our 4yo daughter had no idea what was happening :) Everyone who was sitting down in the restaurant turned to look at our table as the main course arrived and we were happy to share our visual experience at the table with everyone that was intrigued as to why and who we were to eat in such a strange manner. They were probably wondering what planet we just came from. Planet Yummy Food Everything else that we ordered was perfectly matched with our taste buds. From the grilled cheese and tomato soup to the fish and chips, our table was more full than we were when we finished. Leftovers were amazing. Thank you kindly, Artful Dodger

    I would dare to say that it is one of the few places in Tainan that really tastes like Western food. It feels like home

  • 2/5 Dan N. 1 year ago on Google
    Was missing roast beef sandwiches from stateside so the pic on the Uber eats looked really good, but this is what I got. The other half was literally 2 slices of beef, this one looks like more because they layered broken pieces but it’s still about 2 slices. If you’re out of roast beef just take it off the menu, this is just sad.

  • 2/5 Rebecca M. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend got me a slice of carrot cake tonight, and it’s quite honestly the worst slice of carrot cake I’ve had. The cake smelled like coconut, and I’m fairly certain the cake was under-baked, since it was very gooey in the middle. I could also taste the baking soda/powder at the very bottom of the cake, which, as I’m sure you can guess, was disgusting. This is beyond disappointing.

  • 4/5 Patch S. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s not a bad spot at all, in fact I loved my experience here. Definitely a gem in the wild.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 3 years ago on Google
    What a gem! Tucked away in Tainan, is hidden an establishment with some of the best desserts in the land. The chocolate cake is exceptional. A must for any serious cake enthusiast.

    I went there late, they had already closed the kitchen because it was the holiday. I spoke with 2 ladies who were so sweet to me, they gave me a 🍰 just to say sorry. I am planning to go back there next month.

  • 4/5 Ivy C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Traditional English breakfast can be eaten here. The fish in the fish and chips is very big, but it will be a bit greasy afterwards. The bacon cheese burger is very full and it feels full to eat, but it must be served with a drink, otherwise it will not be oilier than lettuce. The English breakfast tea is delicious. (Original) 傳統的英式早餐可以在這吃到。炸魚薯條的炸魚很大塊,但吃到後面會有點膩。培根起司漢堡很飽滿,吃起來很有飽足感,但是一定要配飲料,不然沒有生菜比較油。英式早餐茶倒是很好喝。

    (Translated by Google) The new Indian-style burger is very good. It tastes very harmonious, but the whole is a little bit sour. It may make people feel a little greasy after eating. It is recommended to match other non-sour meals. I ordered the Indian-style burger with tomato soup (Original) 新出的印度風漢堡 很不錯 吃起來非常協調,不過整體有點偏酸吃到後面可能會讓人有點膩感,建議多搭配其他不酸的餐點。 我點了印度風漢堡再配蕃茄湯 酸爆 雖然真的不錯吃
