We’ve been here several times and have always thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Originally from the US, we can attest the portions are certainly American-sized. It’s a lovely diner with authentic booths, etc. My kids love the huge, thick shakes and real hotdogs just like they used to get state-side. The burgers can’t be rare or medium thanks to the buzzkill that is the UK’s Health & Safety, but they still taste awesome and are so juicy! I love the Smoky Joe. The curly fries are spot on! You just need to slice the tomatoes for a burger -Not serve them with tomato wedges. The breakfast is absolutely ace! Best bacon of my life! It’s naturally smoky off the griddle. Great eggs too. The diner is clean as a whistle. All the people working there are absolutely lovely and wonderful! And it’s fabulous that you get a free ride at Joyland for every £15 spent. This diner has become a regular stop off for us whenever we are in Yarmouth. Give it a go. You won’t be sorry.

Absolutely appalling..only one toilet in use for all guests gents was out of order no water waste bin overflowing toilets check list had not been completed. The food was very average & over priced Had 2 glasses of tap water with ice & lemon..a dried up slice at that.. Our waiter was really pleasant & did ask twice if everything was ok..mint imperial sweets & lollipops were with our bill..4 adults on our table & no children 5 other members of my family were behind us..3 adults & 2 children their waitress didn’t ask if everything was ok or did they need anything else..and no treats with their bill.. You do get free passes for the kids with every £15 you spend..so you get a half day out for nothing so every cloud..not value for money

We've been coming to this diner for years, the food is always nice and the kids (now teens) still enjoy it. The problem is it is starting to look in desperate need of a facelift. The chair we sat on was repaired in several places with duck tape, and that sums it up unfortunately. Whilst the food is nice and always well cooked it is very expensive for what it is.

Visited the other day as we had been told they have added some vegan options to the menu which are few and far between in Yarmouth. Had to wait 30 minutes for a table which increased our hopes as it’s obviously a popular place to eat. Unfortunately food was pretty poor, had a hot dog and wedges, wedges over fried and hard and hotdog was literally just sausage and bread. Hubby had a burger which he thought was ok. Wouldn’t be in a rush to return.

Honestly can stay I think this diner thinks it’s in London. Between £15-£25 for a main. I think this is a little much for a seaside town. 2 potato skins for £6.50 yet a whole jacket potato was £5. Pricing seems odd. Slow service and miserable staff. My friend is suffering with a leg injury at the moment and she can’t bend her leg. But they rudely asked her to move over. When it wasn’t possible for her to do it. Save your money. Better food and value at other places.

Delicious food, fast and friendly service. Very good prices 2 adults 1 child and 4 drinks came to £40 which I'd say is cheap for a restaurant. And you get 1 free ride ticket for joyland for every £15 spent. The only downfall is that it got rather hot as they didnt have AC there was celing fans but they weren't on.

He couldn't drink it, he said it was too chocolately!? Which to me is a good thing. We ordered the Joyland Breakfast, BLT and Pancakes. We waited only 10 minutes. The food was fantastic and well portioned. Service was excellent. The diner is very clean and well managed. We would definately return.

Staff seem very young and unprofessional. I felt very uncomfortable when I received my receipt and it had the chef asking for my phone number. When I went up to pay all staff were laughing about the bill situation which made me feel intimidated. on top of this I had to ask a waitress to take our order as she was just standing around and we’d been in the restaurant for 10 minutes. Unsure however both myself and my friend felt quite unwell after our milkshakes neither of us had eaten anywhere before so we assume this is from the restaurant. All in all it was a very uncomfortable and unprofessional environment

Always enjoy coming to the Family/American diner, that was until Saturday 29th when myself and partner went in there for a light snack. Hers was fine so she said but mine on the other hand was ok but it was the staff members attitude and she was training a new starter. I ordered a small stack of pancakes with maple syrup and a couple of scoops of ice cream. What turned up was indeed a short stack with maple syrup and two of the smallest scoops of ice cream I had ever seen, however that wasn’t the issue,the issue was that whoever put it on a plate poured half of the maple syrup over the pancakes and then just plonked the rest of the syrup in its little jug in the syrup that was on the plate. After separating the jug from the syrup and putting it onto a serviette the trainer for the staff came round and asked if everything was ok I said it was but my one criticism would be that I wouldn’t put the syrup jug in the syrup on the plate,her response was a couldn’t care less attitude to which I said to her you couldn’t care less could you to which she shrugged her shoulders and smiled,my partner was trying to find some change for a tip and I said to her a tip for what a poor attitude and we left,no tip. It will be a long time before I go back there.

Walked into a half empty diner and got pointed to a tiny table near the toilet? I said I want to sit in one of the 4 empty booths which she agreed. But why sit us on the worst table when all those free tables?All the waitresses who dealt with us looked at us gone out through all our interactions like they’d never spoke to another person before? It was just bizarre.After table service throughout I wanted to pay by card so left it on the bill tray for when they returned. After 15 minutes I waved a waitress down and said ready to pay pointing at the card, she smugly grinned and said pay at the till. When it was suppose to be “table” service. So I was suppose to assume it’s table service all the way through unless paying by card where I had to join a big queue to pay for my dinner! That is not table service, and at least if that is the case tell people and don’t laugh when they ask as if it’s the most normal thing out when it’s been table service throughout.Food was good though, so the chefs good at least.

We went here for a meal and 4 of us ordered burgers. when they arrived they were all very dry and burnt. 3 of us refused the meals as they were inedible. The 4th person was so hungry he would have eaten a piece of leather ( not dissimilar) I said I would pay for the drinks, one adult meal and the child's meal and that we would eat somewhere else. The owner was sat at the bar eating and I said to him about the meals and also the fact that nobody seemed bothered by the fact our food was so bad. His reply was that he ate there every day So it must be ok. He was extremely rude. The fact that he sits at the bar every day and eats alone really doesn’t surprise me with that attitude. There are plenty of other places to eat that serve good, fresh food at half the price. Shame as it will be just another place that closes down. The staff weren’t too bad so I hope they find new jobs when it happens.

Boyfriend and I have been wanting to come here since we been coming to Yarmouth, but never had a chance due to always been busy.But we went here this month (August 2019) we had to wait 10-15mins for a seat.So chilled in the seating area and talked to the waitress and watched a bit of the tv. Staff Cleared table way fast and was clean.Food is expensive (most was over £12.50) I had £12.50 meal for sampi and twisted chips with salad boyfriend a £10.50 meal for smokey Joes burger with twisted chips and saladBut the portion of the food is very big. So if you ate at 12ish you be full for the rest of the day drinks wasn't a bad price the usually you would get at most placesdesserts pricey again due to size so they're from £6 but we found Ben and Jerry's sandwich for £3.50 but was a good size from a big meal.When finished pay at till, where you get your free ride to Joyland that you can use anytime when the park is open and never runs out so you can keep it for a year or go the next day or on the day depends if open.

First time we went for a meal and had excellant service just wish I could remember the servers name. The milkshake is delicious and the food average. The second time we only wanted milkshake and ice cream. Not a friendly welcome but not awful. They gave us menus then stood around talking and I had to ask to order which then took a further 2-3 minutes while they finished their conversation. The drinks and ice cream arrived in timely manner and whilst the milkshakes were nice the ice cream was not the best. Then again we had to get their attention to get the bill as they stood around talking again ignoring customers. I appreciate when it is quieter it is hard to stay focused but standing in front of customers just talking and ignoring customers is not appropriate

Get a manager out front who can control the staff and the takings will improve even more and get guests back who live in the area like me and my family. On the plus side the milkshakes were lovely but not enough to keep going back unless for a drink only

So so food. So so service. Not particularly impressed with either. Restaurant itself interesting to look at. Portion sizes too big. Dessert of key lime pie very disappointing. Won’t be rushing back.

Really poor quality food, awful customer service, not suitable for people with allergies or intolerance as even though the menu is well labelled, staff knowledge and understanding of allergens is dangerously poor. I wouldn't feed my dog here.

Me and my partner came up for a holiday and don’t know the area. We spotted the diner and thought we will give it ago. Best food we had on our holiday. Potions were huge, food was hot and tasted amazing. Melt at the knees type of food. Price wasn’t questionable either. Worth it!!! Planning our next trip up there already

went there with the family last summer, service was poor and the staff were not very engaging. It was a busy hot day and our order was delivered wrong. However it clean and has a nice 50's american feel to it.

Popped in one evening during Easter holidays. Was seated quickly even though it was busy. Ordered honey and mustard chicken and a chefs grill. Was told there would be a little wait on food but we were in no rush! Massive portions and food was cooked wonderfully! I think a couple of waitresses were in training but were very polite and friendly and the rest of the staff were very attentive!

Don't bother. If you want a drink and to order a few snacks they'll turn you away. Would have accommodated us if we all wanted full meals.

We ordered a bottle of still water and got a glass of tap water, then the ribs came with a very bad quality Bbq sauce and loads of it... the meat was a very bad quality meat and the vanilla milkshake was tasteless... the waitresses were living in another world...really disappointed with restaurants and cafes in Great Yarmouth...

We had already been alerted to the fact that due to the size of our party, our meals wouldn't all be out at the same time, so we were pleasantly surprised to find that just meant they didn't have a waitress per person! We all had our meals within a couple of minutes of each other and what meals they were!!

A lot to choose from so we decided to have a sharing platter which we thoroughly enjoyed. Particularly enjoyed the ribs where the meat fell off the bone and the chicken wings which were crispy and had a nice kick to them. Service was good although we did have to attract attention to get another drink. Dessert was lovely. Would recommend

Having visited the diner in the past and had a bad experience I was rather reluctant to eat there again but was pleased that I gave it a second chance. In comparison to previous visit we sat comfortably,the food was well cooked,the children's meals were huge and portion sizes were generous. As a party of 11 they dealt with our orders well and food was fairly prompt. There was a bit of a delay Waiting for the bill we had to go and ask twice as they had got busier since we had started our meal. They could benefit from a area to change children as my daughter had to change little one on the floor in the ladies, not the most hygienic! All in all good value for money and I would visit again if in the local area.

The food was Ok - not really what I wanted but much is closed by late afternoon in Yarmouth. It's a cheesy American theme diner, feeling out of place in an English seaside. I told them I wanted a snack only and they didn't mention a card lower limit of £10, which is so rare these days - we can usually pay for as little as a £1 on our cards, even in small places. My bill came to more than I had in cash, so they said I'd have to pay £2 (a big proportion of it) or they could sell me unwanted goods to make it up - which ended up being twice that! It seems these were primed ready for this situation. I pointed out that in shops, we know about such issues before we consume the item, and can choose upfront whether to buy the items, not when we've already used it. I wrote in and got a slow and rude reply from someone who didn't even name themselves, more keen to wrongfoot me than put anything right. They made £4 and 40% extra of me, when I felt they should've said - did you want another coffee or a desert then? It was the tone of the reply which has put me off going back.

It is an experience to dine in. An American diner with all the memorabilia you can imagine. Well kitted out just like you'd expect. The service is ok and the food is ok. Not special. Just ok.

Have seen and heard a lot of mixed reviews, but based on my first ever visit here I would both recommend and come again. The service was prompt and efficient and the food both plentiful and reasonably priced. My burger was nicely cooked and tasted good.

Casual and easy going diner - good for families, couples, friends.....everyone really. We had burgers and ribs - everything was tasty and portions were huge. The desserts looked interesting but sadly we were all too full to try anything else. Prices were decent and we all said we'd love to go again.

We were the last people accepted in diner prior to closing and kinda felt we paid fo mopped up left overs that had been sitting around for hours ... I actually was eating but thinking this is going to give me a dodgy stomach !! ( it didnt but think that was because I left over half of it ) son also left his burger - if you can't get a burger right in burger bar you're in trouble !

I've been here for a couple of times n I really liked it . Very friendly staff n food was good value for money . This last time when we left the cinema we decided to go there n it wasn't nice . I know it was 8.30 pm but the restaurant close at 10. The burgers were overcooked the staff was in a hurry to close but the worse thing was that we had to eat with the smell of detergent coz they were cleaning one part of the restaurant n it wasn't nice . We didn't had a good meal first coz the food n second coz we had the feeling that we had to hurry up coz they wanted to close . I work in a cafe in a busy road n I know that after a long day you just want to go home but cleaning while people are still eating n bring chairs inside n making us know that we are not welcome wasn't the best . It's a shame coz it's a nice place but to be honest I don't think I will be back .

Service and food was excellent. Good coffee as well. Staff were friendly. quite busy when we were there.Bonus is that for every £15 spent you get a complimentary ride voucher for Joyland (same owners it seems). In fact I spent £24 and was given 4 rides!!

Visited with a friend and was disappointed as the chips were soggy and my bread on my fillet burger was stale, couldn’t say if this was normal for this branch as i was on holiday and first time i’d visited. I’ve been in a lot better KFC’s up in Yorkshire.

With lots of places closing early during our stay we were only left with a few options this being one of them so if you’re after a late night meal this is the place. Our order was taken quickly and served up quickly too. It was tasty. The restaurant itself however is not a pleasant environment. It’s a bit like a barren school dinner hall and not pleasant at all. Make the restaurant a bit more comfortable and this would be great!
