The best restaurants serving American food in East Midlands

I have been using this OK dinner for 24 years, always loved it. So after a few months away I went back with my family. Now they have taken up that stupid system of having to put your car number plate into the computer system. They have joined the surveillance society and war against cars. We just walked out for the last time there. Wake up people.

A really nice restaurant with plenty of parking facility. Food was good, ordered fish and chips with a portion of beans and partner ordered the same with mashy peas. I would go again but this time I would order something different. It was really quiet...

Great place for mid week catch up with friends and good prices! food was good, service was a bit slow initially.

So much potential, but sadly no where near reaching it. We visited with friends after a show at the Cube. The service is appallingly slow, lacking knowledge on the menu or availability. On two occasions the waitress had to come back to tell one of the party the food she’d chosen was not available, the first one wasn’t even stocked anymore but was still on the menu but no one told the service staff. Ordered drinks and it took the best part of 30 minutes for them to arrive. Ordered a large bottle of Proseccoto be told they only had small, then they found a large bottle, went to order a second one but they couldn’t find another one, they did still have it on the bill (was removed once requested). There is a good selection of food on the menu, all pretty much beige but we were expecting that. The food is basic, and was a bit overdone. There’s an interactive darts game, the lads added it to our bill but within minutes it stopped working. Apparently there was an interactive golf room there too which is now just used as a storage cupboard, again so much potential. If the team had a senior member of staff who takes pride in their work to improve standards and learn the hospitality trade from this place could do well. Hospitality is not easy but when done well, it can still thrive, especially in a prime location. Based on the service we had I’m not surprised there were very few people there at what should be the busiest time. I am usually a fairly generous tipper but we didn’t leave one at all, and that says a lot! We won’t be back which is a shame as we wanted to support an independent restaurant instead of Nando’s next door.

I took my 13 year old grandaughter to the lakes for a birthday treat. She chose this for eats after shopping. I was pleasantly surprised! Nice and clean, very good, friendly service and a good menu although it was expensive! Saying that. what isn't nowadays. The food was very tasty. The music played was not the best to the ear! Would I go again, yes!

I have a serious allergy to fresh strawberries and we explained to staff and they were amazing at dealing with it and also putting our minds at rest of no risk! Brilliant to see an informed response to an allergy and staff going above and beyond for customers

I visited Bar Sport over the weekend to watch the football. The menu looked tempting so we decided to order some food and were very impressed with the quality of the food and the service received, particularly considering how crowded it was. Compliments to the chef!

Not much food in stock, went with the chicken and it was undercooked and now have food poisoning. The mash potato was so dry and beans was over powered with bbq Sauce. Wish I now looked at reviews before going as this looks like a common thing.

A decent amount of food for the price, and the fries were done how I like them. The wings were fine, though the hottest sauce is English hot rather than actually hot (and a also bit sweet, which was surprising). May be a good idea to order before you get there to save waiting.

My 85 year old mother and me went for a quick lunch not far from her bus stop. The lady on the till Lala was amazing so helpful we ordered two children's meals they were really nice and plenty for the smaller appetite See pictures below

Second time coming here, constantly good service. Our server this time, Taylor, was very friendly and helpful. Food is great. It's the only food place still open at EK that's worth going to really.

Picked up two drinks to take away One chai latte and one cappuccino Both beige, no froth, no chocolate or cinnamon- absolutely revolting and undrinkable!!!

Coffee was so bad we tipped it out. Which considering they cost $8AUD each is nuts. Most cafes in Newark were this bad actually it was not just Starbucks but Starbucks was the worst.

Great little hidden gem that's not busy in anyway. Very helpful staff and great food. Pleasing venue all round and great live music too

Best steak we have had for a long while will be back also definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding was divine
