Throbbing Strawberry is a Douglasdale restaurant where you can order wood-fired pizza and craft cocktails. The kitchen makes burgers and a chocolate fondant, and the bar serves coffee milkshakes alongside its drinks list. Some evenings have live music; tables near the fireplace are popular in cooler months.

The restaurant is busy, especially at weekends. Parking on the top floor fills quickly, but spaces are usually available on the lower level, reached by ramp. Staff are noted for attentive service, including with families.

The menu includes pizzas named after characters, burgers, and desserts. Cocktails are mixed to order, and the wine list covers local options. The space has a neighborhood feel, with tables close together when full.
