Alison Stow commented: "I was lucky enough to visit this establishment before they changed hands. And recommended it to everyone! Miss it. And there’s been nothing like it since!! Defo bring back." Carol Farmer wrote: "I walked in and walked straight out. It was so noisy." In July 2009, The Guardian reported how Taybarns Wigan had been open a year and in that time served more meals - 330,000 - than the population of the town - 300,000. It reads: "The sign outside tells customers what to do once they have parted with their £7.99 . 'Grab a plate, help yourself, help yourself again.' The folk of Wigan oblige, with 750 of them through the door by 7.30pm.
Designers had transformed the Marus Bridge restaurant's exterior from brick and wooden panelling to bright orange cladding, but two Wigan councillors, father and son Bill and Gary Wilkes, felt it created the 'wrong impression,' as the restaurant was one of the first buildings visitors to Wigan see as they leave the M6.
