Best Fast Food Restaurants in Birchwood

"Fittingly on Maryland Street, just off Baltimore, the Free State Kitchen is Liverpool's primary exponent of US "dude food": hotdogs, Reuben sandwiches, buffalo wings, chilli fries and, of course, burgers. Its cheeseburger is a vastly improved doppelganger for the McDonald's classic, right down to the exceptionally light, soft but durable bun and (what tastes like a Kraft) cheese slice on top. Of course, the patty is much tastier than anything you will find on the high street: loosely packed, juicy, precisely chargrilled, it persuasively asserts its beefy flavour over the ketchup, mild mustard and onion."

"FSK’s back garden has to be one of the nicest spots off Hope Street, and it’s just launched a menu of festive drinks including sloe gin mulled wine and boozy hot chocolate, so if you book an outside table you can combine the two!. The outside tables go quickly, so just message them with your chosen time and they’ll do their best to fit you in."

"Home to juicy, jaw-stretching burgers, the famous Clam Sam, incredible chilli-cheese fries, and now some heated outdoor tables. The FSK garden is a pretty lovely spot to grab a bite with your mates – we recommend washing it down with some sloe gin mulled wine and Baileys hot chocolate. It is Christmas after all…"

"Almost Famous has become a Liverpool institution thanks to their burgers that are stacked high and are full of inventive fillings. The Crack Shack burger is made up of a double cheeseburger, double buttermilk fried chicken, JD maple, smashed tots, bacon rain, awesome sauce, redneck bbq, creamy peppered mayo and pickles. Now, if half of that didn’t make sense, just trust us and get yourself down to Almost Famous for an explosion of taste in your mouth!"

"Burgers and cocktails galore are served in this quirky comfort food joint tucked in Liverpool's Ropeline area. Get your milkshake fix in with their unique fruit milkshakes topped with whipped cream, crunchy biscuits, and marshmallows."

"Burger Shed 41 brings the fun of a New York burger joint to Chester. Think big stacked burgers, hot dogs, milk shakes and coke floats. Go along with a few friends and stuff your face with burgers!"

Veggie Republic is a bit of a hidden gem on Cook Street, but we urge you to give it a try."

For those who love to share, the chocolate fondue remains a must-order whereas for those desserting solo, the most popular request is the home-made banana doughnuts which are also dairy free without compromising on any flavour."

You'll feel like you found a treasure chest filled with gold when choosing from more than 150 bottles and creative cocktails to drink, which let's face it: might be better, at this cool Liverpool restaurant."

"Before he founded the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell set up the Salford Lads’ Club in Ordsall in 1903. The idea behind clubs like these was to keep young boys in deprived areas out of trouble, and channel their energy into constructive pursuits and sport. The list of former members here is illustrious and includes the actor Albert Finney, the Busby Babe Eddie Colman and guitarist Graham Nash of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash."

"Facilities are children’s play area, a visitors centre with toilets, a pond, a conservation area with a dipping platform, angling.

Clayton Vale is a Local Nature Reserve and is a great place for families to enjoy woodland and riverside walks, cycling, picnicking, or pond dipping."

"Arts space and cafe LEAF was included in Guardian Travel's first "budget eats" guide to Liverpool, in 2008, and is still going strong, albeit at a new address. In the meantime, owner Natalie Haywood has branched out at the media arts centre, FACT, and at Oh Me Oh My, a weekday cafe in a grand, Grade II-listed property opposite Liverpool's totemic Liver Building. LEAF and FACT are natural allies – way beyond their preference for upper case logos – and last year cemented their union when LEAF opened the Garden cafeteria at the centre."

"FACT, 88 Wood Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 4DQ - Visit now. Since opening in 2003, Liverpool’s FACT (AKA the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) has supported artists working with new media, commissioned countless (and occasionally seminal) artworks and dedicated itself to digital media.
