Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Nice you can book online to secure a table. Food was lovely - nice to get a proper pie (not just a lid) and the steak filling was delicious. The Spanish stew from the specials board was also delicious. Big dessert portions. I chose the bread and butter pudding.

Call me old fashioned, but all I ask from a bistro/restaurant is... serve me hot food, in fair portions that appears to have had a little effort put into it.
I've been to Thyme twice now, and on both occasions, they've excelled in each metric. You might laugh, but lukewarm food seems to be a trend nowadays, but not for Thyme — always piping hot, fresh and bearing the hallmarks of 'made right now, entirely from scratch... just for you... no warmed-up nonsense here.'
On each visit, I ordered form the set menu; going for the burger both times. Good lord. Huge! Huge, piping hot & tasty. The presentation is quite something, too... and that is what I mean about 'effort' — these guys excel in the areas other restaurants often overlook; final execution. Everything is so beautifully arranged/assembled on the plate (or board if you order a burger). Today, I ordered the Crispy Cajun marinated chicken burger and it looked majestic — not just huge, but meticulously presented. In fact, such was the display, that I felt as though eating it would undermine the chef's diligence and craft. I did eat it, of course, and the taste matched the sight — elite!
For dessert, I ordered the apple & blackberry crumble. In a word... otherworldly. Top 3 crumbles of all time, easily. The topping had bite and crunch, while the filling was chunky, smooth and sweet... but crucially, not sickly sweet. Beautifully balanced. Of course... it was hot, now warm, hot! Bravo.
Finally, the team — always friendly, always attentive, always make you feel at home.
Love this place — a real gem.

We arrived at a Saturday lunchtime, it was very busy but we were given a table straight away. Very nice ambiance and extensive blackboard menu.
The fish & chips were excellent, the fish was superbly cooked.
The vegetarian salad was nice with many ingredients, although I expected the roasted butternut squash to be warm.
The halloumi was slightly warm, but I would have preferred the other ingredients to be closer to room temperature than fridge cold.

Great choice: Menu + Boards & Specials. Reasonable prices. Excellent service. 3 of us chose different dishes, all of us enjoyed lovely food. Attractive patio area, will come back when it's hot to eat outside.

Popular place on the Friday night we had booked, luckily. Great choice of dishes on the menu and we had made them aware of dietary issues beforehand so they did offer a choice of the dishes without gluten and dairy. The food we had was very good as looked all the dishes we saw delivered to other tables nearby. Seating is quite basic and tables are quite close but it was comfortable. Not a lot of parking nearby as it's in a busy area.

As good as ever, one of Sheffield's absolute best restaurants. Great vibe and positive atmosphere. Food superb!!
Jane Goodenough
Delicious food and lovely staff. We chose from the set menu and all really enjoyed what we had. Very good prices too.
The staff were lovely and very helpful.

11 of us went here for a family celebration and amongst us we had some special dietary needs i.e. gluten intolerant, vegetarian, a seafood allergy. They had a varied menu that offered options to accommodate the dietary needs. The portions were large and inviting and whilst it was not cheap, it was value for money. I have added a few photos of the three meat Sunday lunch, the salmon etc that we were actually served up so you can judge for yourselves.
Kris Brux
Tremendous food, people, place. Would make it a regular spot. Fish cakes and their burgers are beyond compare. Check out the specials board, too, for that unusual dish you weren't expecting. On hot days, try to reserve a table in the outside garden, hard to believe you're not in Sheffield.
Emilio Arciello
We did one of the taster menu evenings. Food, service and value for money were all excellent! Thanks from Karen, Gabriella and Emilio

Thyme Cafe is more of a restaurant in my eyes. While it doesn't have any snobbery on its premises, it does deliver high class food with great flavours with helpful staff. I wouldn't recommend going in for just a simple jacket potato or a panini, but if you're looking for tasty risotto, perfectly prepared fish or tasty veg and grains arranged followed by a dessert board that's so good it's hard to choose just one, then this is the place for you. Good for lunch but even better for a dinner you can savour.

This place has existed for as long as I've known Sheffield and the turn over in Broomhill is generally high for eateries, so that's a good sign in itself. The food is always tasty and interesting. Today I had something off the specials board. It was a huge ham hock with black pudding and potatoes. Friendly staff, but they did leave us with the bill a bit too long considering it wasn't that busy. Disabled toilet available towards the back, seats are quite packed in though. Overall good, will go again.
Sara Morton
Lovely cafe, great atmosphere. Service very attentive. Had the Sunday lunch menu. Dined at 1345 and by then most of the roast was off the menu nonetheless lovely lunch with family. Reasonable prices, but maybe not for the Sunday lunch, as £19 for one course is a bit over priced for what is on the plate. Perhaps better during the week when not as busy. If going on Sunday bedt to book. Only 3 stars for the food from me.
Stuart Robertson
Excellent menu choices, nicely cooked with really nice service. Still really good after all these years. Be sure to pre book we saw a lot of walk ins disappointed
Peter Cross
We met one of our friends there for lunch. My wife & I are pescatarian so to hear that salmon was off the menu did straight away reduce our options on the menu. But I mostly have soup to start & the Spicy Carrot was delicious & for main I had Tiger Prawn Spaghetti. My wife had Salt & Pepper Squid & Thyme Cafe Fishcake. We both had lemon cake for dessert with a latte. Great food, service & value for money. Really recommend this establishment it has a real nice ambience.
claudia calvino
Lovely staff and great service. Food was nice, not exceptional but nice. Liked the fishcake and chips were delicious. Sticky toffee pudding was a bit disappointing. It was quite cold in the restaurant but a nice experience overall.

Lovely café with very friendly staff that were very nice about my friends birthday! The food was great quality and suitably priced, would definitely recommend!

This is, without a doubt the best roast dinner we have ever had. The restaurant is welcoming and cozy, and the staff are incredibly friendly.
I had the roast chicken, and my husband had the porky belly. Everything was cooked to perfection, with perfect portion sizes, and the seasoning was just amazing.
Thyme Cafe is the perfect destination for comforting food, a relaxed atmosphere, and amazing food. I highly recommend that everyone pays a visit.
Ian Fretwell
Great night last night, friendly staff, really enjoyed the fish platter starter for £18.00, fed four of us. We all had mains, 2 puds, 1 x bottle of Sauvignon blanc, half litre of house red, 1 x bottle of coke, and 1 x cappuccino, all for £133.00. As we left, the place was full, and people being turned away to come back later. Great value, friendly, excellent service, good quality food. Thank you ��
Valerie Shepherd
We all had a delicious, lovely meal and the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. I had fish and it was so fresh! Would recommend to others!
Emma Veal
Lovely, tiny and buzzing restaurant. Always lovely food and friendly staff. I ordered the lamb was cooked beautifully and nice healthy portion! Always go back
Martin D Barnes
Fancied a burger and for the first visit was amazed best burger in Sheffield, oops sorry uncle Sams. Will be back to try something else.
Margaret 'Smith' Case
Was recommended this place by a friend and we weren't disappointed. We ended up having the set menu deal which was lovely and reasonably priced as the portions were large. My only critisim was the choice was so large I was spoilt for choice so we will have to go back. Lovely staff too xx
Dianne Green
Great place, lovely staff amazing food and plenty of it... (You won't have to make cheese and crumpets when you get home!!)
The menu is vast .... so much to choose from you will need to visit regularly :).
The wine is very palatable too!!
Faye Grace
Atmosphere great, food outstanding and staff friendly and knowledgable.
Been a few times now and can’t fault anything.
Once they have sold out, it’s gone, it’s good food to order.
Well priced for me also.
Been with my partner on a date night and also took my mum for a belated Mother’s Day, and it’s good for any occasion.
Will be going back soon.
Mary Barraclough
Popped in for a late lunch today. Fantastic food and friendly staff. Wish I'd had room for pudding!!
Laura Sparrow
Best pie EVER! Just a shame that this place is an hours drive away, mind you the trip would be worth it for that pie �
Ange Fanthorpe
One of my fave places to eat - great choice for us veggies too. Imaginative, extensive menu, all dishes are reasonably priced & all prepared from fresh ingredients - cant fault it !
Angela Zuraw
Popped in after taking my son back to Uni, he lives nearby and recommended it. Food was delicious, and so much to choose from I decided in the end on the mushroom risotto to start , it was yummy and plenty of it, then the smoked haddock gratin for my main, I was just sorry I couldn't have a glass of wine as I was driving back to Liverpool. Prices were so reasonable for the quality of food. Service was great I will definitely be revisiting when next in Sheffield . Just want to add a very varied vegetarian menu too. Thank you !!
Nicola Winslade
Food was amazing, couldn’t fault it and plenty of it! Very disappointing service though. Had to keep asking the waitress’s for things, can we order, can we have drinks, etc I had to ask for the bill 3 times!
John Moralee
First-ever visit to this location for family evening meal. Excellent ambience, service and food. Will be back!
Kerry Marston-Giroux
Love this place. The menu is amazing and never disappoints.
Annie Stones
I've always loved Thyme and the food has always been great. I was really disappointed last night to make a request to the waitress regarding my food and was told "You do know they'll laugh at you (chef) and you'll probably be able to hear it out here". I probably will go back as the good food will likely outlive the unprofessional waitress. The manager is fantastic.
Krisha
We visited on a busy Saturday night with friends. The food was great. We had starters, mains and desserts and all courses were delicious. I would recommend as a casual place to eat at Lunch or dinner. Really relaxed and great service Thank you

In Sheffield for a few days on holiday and was recommended this place so thought I'd give go<br/><br/>Wasn't disappointed from start to finish<br/><br/>Even through you can't book a table here we didn't have to wait long to get one<br/><br/>Friendly greeting on arrival to a well fitted out vibrant restaurant that was buzzy but not over noisy <br/><br/>On sitting down your presented with a massive menu nicely presented on black boards on the wall, great choice across all courses making the choice rather difficult <br/><br/>Service is efficient and friendly with drink and food orders coming up quickly<br/><br/>Food across all courses was well presented, fresh and very tasty and plenty of it and at good prices<br/><br/>We left the there happy, content with full belly's and having not burnt a hole in our pockets<br/><br/>Would definitely go back if ever in the area
Cameron Clarke
Wonderful!. Having walked passed a few times, always to see it packed my girlfriend and I decided to give it a go after not being able to get a reservation at The Milestone. It has a great atmosphere, no need to make a booking but on a friday or saturday, get there early or you might have a a bit of a wait. <br/>Really lovely atmosphere, families, couples,a great mix of people. Service was excellent (if a little rushed - it was very busy!) and drinks orders were taken soon after we had a table. A great wine selection and some great local ales and a big range of the normal beers and soft drinks. The menu is ever changing, and offers a great range for all tastes, from between £11 and £22 for a main. This is really great value, as the quality of the food is so high and the portion sizes are very generous (we had a main and a pudding and were stuffed!)<br/><br/>All in all it was wonderful and cant wait to go back.<br/><br/> 2 courses each, + side dish, wine and beer £52
Gareth
Excellent!. The food is divine and the service is excellent. The food is rustic and looks amazing, however some of the food comes on wooden platters and is therefore sometimes a bit messy. <br/><br/>Enjoy!
Tony Middleton
Lovely food :)
Glyn Williams
Highly Recommended. This is the most reliable restaurant in my neighbourhood.<br/><br/>The service is great, not snoooty, not disinterested - but friendly professional and warm.<br/><br/>The food is just great. Tasty, generous portions.<br/><br/>You can't reserve a table, which means if its full you might not get a seat.<br/><br/>Actually why am I telling you this? I want a seat! Stay away!
Ejayh
Good choice of English, American, European dishes serves in a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. Food is always good and the staff eager to please. It can sometimes get a bit too busy but the staff are honest and will always tell you if your order is going to be half an hour. Good place of business lunch or after work social.
Alec
I really enjoyed my evening, Excellent !!!
Jinny Campbell
A fantastic meal. Food took along time to come but a great evening
Ed Griffiths
Very warm welcome as soon as we walked through the door and the high standards followed all the way through our visit. Great food and a very nice bitter on tap from a local brewery. Definitely recommended!
Pete Thorley-Dickinson
Thyme cafe. Always excellent, great atmosphere, very bustling. An ever evolving blackboard menu offers fantastic choice and good value. Don't deliberate for too long, take a chance and order something unusual, they will not let you down
Thomass
Nice food, I can strongly reccomend the burger, it's yummy!
