The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving American food

Awful don’t waste your money here just go pancakes were not cooked properly need actual chefs and not untrained people

East Kilbride Shopping Centre has a vast amount of parking spaces. Perfect for lunching and shopping indoors. This is particularly useful in the dreary Scottish weather. (You can park for FREE on Saturdays for 3 hours, anything more and you need to pay. Sundays are always FREE for the full day.) I have visited this particular restaurant on various occasions. It can be easily located at the Upper Mall, Centre West. Staff are welcoming when they can be found! You often need to track one down. The seating areas are typical for this type of restaurtant-booths and small tables. The restaurant is relatively clean, could be better. Between sittings staff will give the tables a quick wipe over. At times food can be found on the floor and chairs. I tend to choose the buffet option for food as I can self select what I would like to eat. Depending on the day of the week you visit and the staff on shift, will determine how quickly the pizzas are replaced at the buffet. At times there has been a que of people hovering around waiting for fresh pizza to be served. Being vegetarian, it can sometimes be a struggle to fill your plate as meat eaters also enjoy the veggie pizza options and they disappear quickly. For the buffet options you can choose from a range of pizza, pasta, salads and dips. The pasta is always piping hot, and the salad is fresh. Drinks are unlimited so you can choose lots of different flavours from the self service machine. Over all the food is full of flavour. Unless you need help, you have peace and quiet to eat your meal without anyone rushing you. Generally there is always a table available when you go. For a cheap and cheerful lunch you can't ask for much more.

You know those painting of galloping horses that are anatomically wrong, because the artist has never studied the mechanics of a horse before? This place is like that. An American diner created people who have never been to an American diner, for people, who have also never been to an American diner. Disclaimer: I visit America every couple of years. American diners & BBQ pits are my absolute favourite things - an absolute treat that I look forward to and enjoy very much. Okay, back to Millies "American" Diner in Bedlington. Decor is okay, someone's been googling diner aesthetics and made a commendable attempt. A bit overkill on the licence plates. Background music was disappointing - e.g. Celine Dion (Canadian), The Police (British), Camille Jones (Danish), Elton John (British)... limited American input, which is wild considering all the great American artists that could be showcased. And the kitchen staff listen to UK radio loudly, so that overlays what's playing in the main dining area, which is quite annoying. Cutlery was filthy, luckily didn't need to use it. Yuk. Normally what I've mentioned would be more than enough to write off a place, and for me not to return, but here... here the menu is what really let's this place down. There are no real American diner offerings. Probably should have realised looking at social media - it's mostly pictures of cars in the car park, rather than the food. Weird. Curry & chips, corned beef pie, full English breakfasts, mince & dumplings, gammon egg & chips, fish & chips, jacket potatoes, cheese scones, quiche, ham & pease (which they've spelled "pea's"...) pudding sandwiches... All things that would never, ever, ever, ever, grace the menu at an American diner. It's just a regular, average, boringly British café. Even the milkshakes don't cover a core America milkshake flavour - peanut butter! I'm disappointed, had hoped to get the proper diner experience. Where's the Elvis sandwich? Reubens? Biscuits & gravy? Huevos Rancheros? Breakfast burrito? Chicken & waffles? Pecan pie? Still lemonade? Soda floats? In an attempt to find something passably American, I opted for Nachos. However, they were disappointing - a dish of basic lightly salted tortilla chips with an economy range squeezy bottle BBQ sauce squirted over, a small amount of pulled pork, and packet shredded cheddar dumped on it, and microwaved. Absolutely not what you'd get in an American diner - no pico de Gallo, salsa, guacamole, sour cream... Again, it screams created by someone that's never had nachos in America. The southern sweet tea was a redeeming feature, but needed to be made specially, as no-one wanted it when it was brewed en mass - this should be a staple offering in an American diner. And it was good, so it's a shame that's not more heavily promoted. I saw some pancakes being delivered to another table... They looked a bit sad, so no redemption there. This is just a cafe; nothing particularly "American" about it. However, the clientele don't seem to realise it's not American, so I guess if the locals don't know/care, it's fine? I assume you have to cater for what the regulars want to eat, so if the locals want an American diner to sell them pie (not the American pizza variety!) & chips... Well I guess you have to? In my mind, would be better to have a proper USP - give the full US cultural cuisine experience, rather than being a basic British cafe offering basic cafe food, served up beside a nylon American flag and 400 licence plates. In summary, it's a basic, British, transport-style cafe, with a mildly themed American interior. If you're a fan of actual American diners, it's a really disappointing mis-sell. Such a shame, because an actual, authentic American diner that sold an attempt at American diner food would have a USP that no-one offers locally, and could be massively popular. As it is, this place might poddle along being mediocre and only fleetingly visually American. I won't be back, it was a bit too crushingly unAmerican and failed to recreate the actual diner experience I enjoy so much when in America. There are a plethora of better British cafes closer to me, so no reason to venture back to this one, sadly.

We sat in with family and five people came in and asked steakhouse to remove my family from the area we were sat in.. there was 15 of us. We had already ordered. This was the worst experience ever. Please don’t go to this restaurant as they are very rude and use lying techniques. Some of wealthy Middle Eastern men who had no manners asked their management to remove us. They preferred the gang of Middle Eastern, men over us as a family. They were rudely came in later. in the end, we had to walk out as it created distress within our own family. We were all looking forward to a great evening and they spoiled it. I hope by reading my experience you don’t go there as they are people who prefer Rich Middle Eastern shakes. I also hope and pray that their business doesn’t run after how they treating my family. I’m a person who suffers from anxiety and they let me down and my family and children.. over a few Middle Eastern men that they could’ve Turned away or found some spare chairs and tables for.. they broke all the table manner, rules and etiquettes.

Great to have a drive through Starbucks in town. Open early as well which is great. Great service. Coffee was quick and hot. Good to sit in as well and do a bit of work. Very pleasant and friendly staff.

because I saw Darryl and he is good at making hot chocolates and you should go there to have got chocolates

Saw this place as we walked past and Called in for a late lunch. Very, very tasty food with a great selection of offer.friendly efficient service. Definitely recommended

i found this sub way a fantastic place to go to if you really wanted to be insulted by arrogant staff they advertise you can have your sub the way you like it but if you ask for a change they insult you and then bar you JUST WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE TALKING TO CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS the owner needs get a grip of the staff be fore its to late

No estoy seguro de las críticas negativas, ya que he estado aquí varias veces desde la universidad y siempre tuve una excelente comida y servicio. Siempre un ambiente acogedor, limpio y alegre. Tuve un shawarma de pollo mientras mi colega tenía una pizza. También tenía shisha aquí.

Came here for shisha, food and drinks. Our lovely waiter PREKSHA was excellent. Recommended, the best shisha and mocktails. Her service was exceptional. Very good interpersonal and customer service skills. She made sure our table was okay. She is the perfect addition to your team. Preksha I hope the management will reward you for your lovely work keep the same spirit and positive vibes that you showed us today. Also credit to the chefs for the lovely mixed grill nicely seasoned.

Took over 2 hr to come had to ring twice to be told they was waiting for a driver would of told them I didn’t want it but I had paid online. When the food came it was like card board like they had warmed it back up Never again!!!!!

Popped in for a quick bite before jumping the train, food was lovely.. Jennifer 5 🌟 always helpful and chats away with a smile, great with the kids as always definitely makes each visit a good one

It is what it is .... a Pretzel take away cabin in a wind tunnel alley (Wall Street). £4.50 for cinnamon sugary coated pretzel (it was warm - the pretzel). Nothing special although if you like sugar treat then maybe that's fine.

This place is ok, the food is good, but very greasy, and huge portions. Obviously it's not a healthy choice but... Not an amazing atmosphere, you sort of feel rushed through your meal, which when it's not THAT cheap isn't great.

On our first day exploring the centre of Epsom, we stopped for coffee at Starbucks, which was good. The restaurant was fairly busy with you having to place your order at their counter. Right at the main entrance to Ashley shopping Centre.
