Double Barrel Kitchen - Mermaid Waters

Meet me at Double Barrel Kitchen for our weekly meeting he said! And boy am I glad he did. This little place was absolutely buzzing. Beautiful display cabinet, amazing staff, great atmosphere. The only problem I had was choosing one thing to order because they all looked great!

This little cafe in a suburban shopping centre is a real find.The menu options aren;t extensive but what they do they do really well.I don't often see cajun food on a menu here, and so asked why the chef had listed it. Seems he's worked there in the past so I decided to be brave and order it to see if it matched some of the New Orleans food I'd eaten in the past.Well it was definitely authentic cajun food, really spicy without being just chilli hot, and the right amount of okra to give the gumbo some thickness without it getting gloopy. And the serving in its own cob for dipping was a nice finish.My partner ordered his usual steak and chips and thought the burger was excellent (even tho they call it a sandwich), his steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare, the onion relish was great and the chips were some of the crispiest he's ever had (a true recommendation).We had a lovely chat with the owner as we lazed in the sunshine on a winter's day (there's a shady side for those looking to escape the heat) and just enjoyed chilling out without any pressure to leave.Will definitely be back even tho it's quite a drive from home

I like it how they have seats on the sunny and the shady side of the building. Nothing wrong with the coffee, their mini salmon bagel is awesome. But overall, I thought they were on the pricier side, which amazes me considering their location.

What a great little cafe , the food is consistently good with a great range of tasty options.The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the service is spot on......love it:)

Very friendly staff...a menu with lots of different choices and different to the usual things in most other places. We were a group of 6 on a Sunday morning. The cafe was humming....they were also doing a roaring trade in takeaway coffees. Amongst our group, we had the Morning Salad, Mushroom Magic
