The best restaurants serving American food in East of England

Not allowed entry on a Friday evening as we were only two and they only allowed four at least... the place was hardly occupied and the children serving were very rude, obnoxious and confrontational... I carry a couple of platinum credit cards, with good income and spending capacity and normally spend about £1k per month on eating out.... we were early evening (8.10pm). Looking down their nose at us was their mistake and loss

Absolutely love love love love this place! The food is incredible! Best salads I've ever tasted and the staff are so sweet. They also do amazing cakes that are gluten and refined sugar free. Love coming here whenever I'm in Hertford :)

Amazing xx lovely staff and atmosphere and full vegan menu which was yummy! Restaurant was clean and beautifully presented. Fairly priced and so close to the beach.

Disappointing soggy mess! Order was wrong despite being written down correctly. Asked for no pickles but it had pickles. Asked for mushrooms but it had no mushrooms. The bun was completely soggy and everything fell out in one big mess. I do not recommend, save your money as they are very expensive for a pile of soggy mush.

After having a talk with Nathan, it was abundantly clear that the value he holds high are that of a premium mixologist. Selecting the finest ingredients from that available of the suppliers, the Pina Colada and Virgin Pornstar Martini excelled the expectations of our party and were truly mixed and pursed with passion and finese. A true asset, and high commendations to Nathan, our true mixologist and cocktail wizard.

A regular local favourite. On the last three ocassions we have been part as of a large party and despite that the quality and service never fall below excellent. Top burgers and good value for money.

We booked on the strength of enjoying rack of lamb. That was part of the internet menu. However it was not available on our arrival! We chose fish & chips. Nice quality fish & ample plateful. However malt vinegar was not to be had. We were offered white wine vinegar instead. Ok but not the one we prefer. However a pleasant night in a restaurant well cared for by staff & management. Thank you.

Fantastic place. Massive portions. I would say it does the best breakfast in St Albans. The place was clean, tidy and the staff were welcoming. My only complaint would be the noise. It is a very noisy cafe... Because it's so popular. The radio was definitely not needed and just added to the background noise which is annoying if you want to ha e a nice conversation or simply some peace

BEST burger I've ever had. It's that great, if on death row, it'll certainly be my last meal. Stunning, fresh and value for money.

Tasty great drive through service very fast & efficient will be defo using this place again for some sweet little treats

Best ploughman's I ever had. Who knew it could be spread so well? Just this man. The plate Steve produces is second to none, and watch your step 🪜 as you probably never thought to finish the main combo with picallily x beetroot on your fork—save the last blue cheese and grapes for the final smidge of chutters. Never will have a winner like it. Absolute gold. 🏆

We visited for my husband‘s birthday. We were a table of five and arrived at 7 pm. On arrival. We were the only diners in the restaurant. Three other tables were occupied by the time that we left 9 pm. This was a sat night. The menu has changed fewer choices or maybe fewer fine dining choices. The signature dish seemed to be the steak either steak on the stone or cooked so we opted for steak. The menu even contains a little joke. “Don’t ask the chef to cook well or medium well “ I opted for medium rare so when it arrived, I struggled to find the pink meat. I also ordered some garlic bread for our daughters, it arrived smothered in cheese but no mention that it would have cheese both daughters don’t eat cheese . The waiting staff require additional training. A female server. Didn’t even apologise when I complained about my steak instead told me it would be a further 15 minutes for a new piece , that wouldn’t work as everyone else had been served. They would’ve been nearly finished when mine arrived. Her solution was to scrap the order all together, but I came to a restaurant to eat. That wasn’t a good solution, the senior server, or maybe the manager later came over and offered to compensate for the steaks and provided a discount, which is really good of him, the chips could’ve been triple cooked for that crispy restaurant feel they suspiciously look like they may have come out of a packet also . After we complained about the steaks, we didn’t receive any additional service. We had to request a desert menu, being gluten-free. I asked what was gluten-free on the menu. I was told nothing it’s not completely unusual but usually you’re offered either ice cream or sorbet. We had the feeling that we were no longer wanted so forfeited the deserts for our table of five, asked for the bill and left, one of our diners was in a wheelchair, no point did anyone offer to open the door so we navigate of the double doors ourselves and left disappointed . Positively the cocktails and the beers were delicious. My recommendation would be hire some staff that smile or are attentive, become a bar and do what you are good at. This used to be one of my husband’s favourite restaurants in Southend. I’m not sure will visit again though. Bad times!

Wow, just returned from the worst restaurant experience I've ever encountered. Three of the starters we wanted were not available,( on a Saturday night FFS). It took twenty minutes for the staff to tell us this. One of the beers ordered had also run out. When the main meal eventually arrived the sea bass did not have the potatoes stated on the menu and the asparagus was missing, we could not decide what the cockle butter sauce actually was. The tomahawk pork I ordered was soft and fatty. The apparent Blues signature sauce which accompanied it turned up half way through the meal and appeared to be ordinary gravy. They tried to placate us with a free drink but when the beer you originally wanted wasn't available it missed the point. I'm not sure what has happened to this restaurant from the last time I went there but I had to bite my lip at the end of this terrible meal and leave it my partner to say how disappointed we were. We couldn't get out of there fast enough after being there for two hours waiting for a two course meal! We won't be going back.

I booked this as part off the Norfolk Restaurant Week. From my initial phone call up to the end of the meal, the customer service was excellent. I believe the young man who I spoke to on the phone and who welcomed us and took the order was called Ben. I think he is the manager? He is a total asset to this business. The food. The deal is a set menu. I am vegetarian and was very happy that the food was interest. I had Onion Bloom to start, which was very nice. I then had Risotto, possibly the best I have had. The end a Creme Brûlée with caramel ice cream and lemon shortbread. Delicious and not a scrap left! My companion was equally pleased with her meal. Really, if you can, go and treat yourself.

The Spotted Bull has closed down and reopened as Bull Rodizio Ive been to this chain before they have a branch in Shaftesbury Ave London, Good food I will check it out soon
