The best restaurants serving American food in England

Pong was a place that was a spontaneous thing one evening, now is a must do anytime me and my friends go out. The activities there are brilliant from a regular game of ping pong to an extremely entertaining game of beer pong, with some variations with other spirits. The atmosphere of the place is always lively and jubilant, never has there been a time of boredom. The staff are the most down to earth and spectacular hosts, with Nes, Greg, Mark and Tadi always ready to greet you with the kindest smiles, no matter the occasion. I can only wish that everyone, whether living in Southend or just visiting, have the opportunity to go to this amazing place as it truly is one of the best places for all to visit. If I were to have one last night out at any establishment, it would unequivocally have to be Pong. Thank you Pong for treating me and my friends as if we had know you all for years. We all thank you.

10 / 10 comida callejera. Todo en su menú es delicioso! La pareja que dirige este food truck es tan apasionada por la comida y apasionada por su pequeño negocio y se nota a través de la calidad y selección de platos que ofrecen. Creo que mi favorito son las patatas fritas con poutine o las patatas fritas de pollo. El tamaño de las porciones siempre es generoso y la selección siempre es genial. Por favor, pase por aquí - no te arrepentirás! < 3

Have this every Thursday with my uncle, probably my favourite night of the week and the one I most look forward to after work. Amazing food at amazing prices, served by lovely staff! 5* from me!

Amazingly good value full English breakfast. Not too greasy, eggs cooked to order, all the usual features including black pudding and the lesser spotted potato cake.

Styled as an American rock/dive bar, this place is inviting and popular. Seems a true community hub with regulars across all age groups and all professions, very welcoming atmosphere. It's one of those places where you see rough Harley bikers have in-depth conversation with your posh nan. Music selection at night is mainly rock of all decades, but daytime I heard a range between soul, jazz, blues which makes it a perfect place for music lovers. Regular live music on a weekend too, that can get busy, so be early if you want a seat. The two brothers that run it are fit too ;-)

Fantastic food and fantastic service from Talha and Suman. They were so friendly, polite and extremely helpful. The service from them was 5 star. Will definitely return and hopefully get served again by Talha and Suman. Keep up the great work guys....

Saw this stall at Portishead Marina, unbelievable sandwich, truly great, was hungry after a 6km run and this was perfect

The lovely couple from the Papas Locas food truck visited us at the Alpheton village hall and I cannot say enough about both the food and the lovely owners of Papas Locas. So many great responses from everyone at the hall and we’d love to have you back! Highly recommend!

We came to this little cafe in the heart of Britain as we had heard the food was delightful and the village was lovely. 100% accurate on both counts. Chef Carlos has a great imagination and it shows in the special sandwiches and desserts served. The sandwich I had was a chicken, ham, and avocado with garlic mayo on toasted white bread. My wife had the butternut squash falafel wrap with whipped feta and pickled beets. Chef's lovely wife Nicole extends charm and grace taking orders and dishing friendly conversation. We finished our meal with a slice of lemon icebox pie with a crust of ground digestives. It was light and delicate with a delicious taste. We walked around the village loving the smiles and friendly greetings of the village folk. Walking along the banks of the Tyne is beautiful and we visited the sites of Vindolanda and the Roman Army Fort along Hadrian's Wall. The museums are well curated and the sense of historical awe was powerful. This visit was a highlight of our trip to England from California.

I had the jackfruit option on the hotdog menu and was impressed firstly at how delicious it was, great seasoning, beautifully cooked with a lovely sourdough roll and pickles on the side; but also how I felt sated and not bloated. I was so delighted that I commented to the waiter who said it was the lack of oil in the cooking process. i'd been reading a lot about the toxicity of highly processed oils so am keen to know more now. I'd definitely go back and am looking forward to it.

¡Comida casera fantástica y deliciosa! ¡Definitivamente volveremos a ordenar! Todo estaba fresco y tenía un sabor maravilloso. Y lo que lo hace aún más sorprendente es una hermosa causa detrás: ¡ayudar al NHS! ¡Gracias!

We stopped in here by chance as we were passing and have since made a second trip. The visiting party included ages: 42, 41, 10 and 11 months. There is plenty of space (tables not crowded together), it wasn’t too loud, the chairs are comfortable and it’s bright and clean. The menu is to die for, particularly if you like pancakes and waffles (but plenty of other options), the food really well cooked and the staff efficient and friendly. My 10 year old has decided she wants to celebrate her 11th birthday there which is a big tribute to a new place as she’s autistic and finds new places often overwhelming. Would definitely recommend!

Ok let me just say the burger patties are excellent top quality and delicious buuuut the main problem for me is the use of brioche buns for burgers they were flabby and greasy they shouldn't be anywhere near a burger this could be easily remedied by adding bun options and would easily be best burger in the area till then i wont order again in a hurry....sorry

He estado aquí dos veces. Un sábado por la noche y también con mi familia para el almuerzo. El menú es corto y bien pensado. que no te la extensa selección de barbacoa que verá en Bodean's. Las porciones son más pequeñas y la comida es diferente: más sofisticado y más desafiante. Yo no lo llamaría una experiencia tradicional barbacoa del sur. Hay una mezcla de estilos aquí. Casi me siento que el menú ha sido inspirado en The Somkehouse y entonces un grungier, toque de comida en la calle. Nos de calamar, tacos, hamburguesas y nachos. No había un fiasco entre ellos.

Finally.. somewhere in Swanage with real taste! The Sandwich Shed is a hidden gem. Run by a lovely couple who have crafted a small and delicious menu, made up of gourmet sandwiches. All on homemade focaccia, my favourite was the BBQ beef brisket served with sauerkraut, smoked cheese, crispy onions and homemade black garlic sauce. Accompanied by some freshly cooked skinny fries and smoky “shed” slaw and a drink from the pub in which the SS is situated, there is nothing to fault. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys home cooked, quirky food.
