The best restaurants serving American food in East of England

Great dinner on the seafront ideal for a Rock n Roll weekend visit

Unreal thanks so much for a banging night xx Bligh had a banging time with me x

4 of us had a meal booked at Middletons, we arrived on time for our booking to find our table wasn’t even set, we were eventually seated with just knives and glasses at the table. When we requested forks we were informed that our waitress was “trying to find some in the kitchen”. After waiting quite a while, our order was taken, the service was continuously slow all night. The starters, particularly the scallops (one of the most expensive starters) were poor. Served with a plain looking raw onion on the side and only 2 or 3 very small scallops in some sauce. The mains were much better, the steak was cooked well and the sides were nice. Whilst we appreciate it was perhaps a busy night due to it being the festive period, we found our 10% service charge automatically added to the bill was a little cheeky given the slow service. It’s also stated it’s “optional” however our waitress seemed shocked/confused when we paid a lower amount than the bill total, not paying the full £23 tip. 10% tips are understandable for larger groups but not for a table of 4. Overall fairly disappointed with our visit, had we have been a walk in then we perhaps would’ve understood but given it was a reservation it seemed the staff weren’t able to keep up. We didn’t feel we got value for money at all. Middletons is a local for us so we’re disappointed it didn’t impress as much as we’d have hoped!

Amazing food and service, Vinny was great, 10/10 service, will definitely be back again soon, the steak was excellent and cooked perfectly

Got a Groupon deal for myself and 2 kids,booked and was told the deal does not work but offered an alternative so I arrived within the hour for them to tell me the groupon has been used already wen I'd just bought it and travelled down there.shockingly bad service and stood arguing with the man as he said I'd used the Groupon already when obviously I hadn't .waste of time.rude.think the man was called tony

Really enjoyed the nachos - homemade, not horrible powdery packet ones. Loads of them. Our teenagers enjoyed their basket chicken meal too. They shared it and there was plenty!

Really disappointed with the food and overall experience I had at this restaurant this evening. We were seated on a bench with no place or area to put our coats and as a result we had to sit in our jackets as we didn’t want to lay them on the floor. Upon receiving our food, we kindly asked for the steak to be taken back at it was more ‘blue’ instead of ‘medium’. Once we received it back, it was chewy and completely overdone. The only thing I could compare it to would be chewing gum. We addressed our issues politely to the staff and was told “let me talk to someone and see what we can do”. We were then given our receipt and was charged full price for two meals that in my opinion was below standard. I do not recommend.

Amazing food, which was very tasty. Only downside was that the restaurant was very hot and the music was too loud, making conversation difficult.

I’ve given a 5 star review because of the service we had from our waiter Matt during our meal on NYE. He went above and beyond to assist us and was friendly, polite and professional.

The food was Great food! And great hospitality. Was served by mandy and she was very welcoming, friendly and overall amazing!

Absolutely shocking! Myself and my best friends have had a tradition of meeting here every Friday before Christmas for the past 20 years. Over the past 5 years the standard of hospitality and food has decreased dramatically! This evening we were informed that there was a reduced menu, reduced drink availability, and the manager had decided to Close the bar at 10pm!!! I had the most dry and pathetic Burger with a small handful of chips for £17!!! I shared the pic on FB and the comments are hilarious! This place is terrible now. New management needed.

I love eating here. It's the nicest restaurant in Thurrock. I miss it. I hear that it's been refloated so am keenly awaiting news of it's future. There are many people hoping they'll be able to go to this restaurant again.

Visited on Saturday 11th January for my son's 18th birthday meal, this was our first time visiting Miller & Carter. We were seated promptly, once comfortably seated our server came over and introduced himself as Dylan. Whilst handing out menus Dylan asked if there were any allergies, my daughter is celiac so he brought her a gluten free menu. Once we had finished our meal, we didn't opt for dessert but Dylan brought out a plate with 'Happy Birthday' with a small bowl of ice cream with a lit candle, which we were not expecting and was a lovely touch. Dylan was polite, confident, attentive and had a good knowledge of the menu. Overall we enjoyed our meal, we would recommend and would happily return.

What an excellent manager and waitress today. Manager went above and beyond in helping us. Waitress was lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Food was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend with no hesitation. Very friendly. A lovely experience and we will be back 😊

Worst place ever. Booked Boxing Day. Over hour late to sit down, had to ask five times eventually sat me down downstairs, even though told me I was sitting upstairs. Bar service, bless him one peron serving. Manager left people hanging, first waitress asked how we were, said about our disappointment she walked off, second waitress was understanding and apologetic. Manager was totally dismissive, apparently busy, yes I understand it’s time of year but keep customers up-to date and offer a drink whilst u are running over hour late. Got drinks at bar but poor guy on his own and service was slow. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from Miller Carter. Manager seemed miserable and not happy being there!!! This is not an acceptable. Been so many times here and worse service ever experienced!!
