The best restaurants serving American food in North East

The food was very late because of offers it seems (but staff were apologetic). The food was ok, packaged hot. Wish could say better about food, but hope chef not insulted as have seen reviews taken to heart and Smokin Joes does offer quality food.

Very positive experience, courteous service and quick turnaround . I have returned to this joint a few times , very relaxed

Got 3 classic meals today and 2 of them were lovely however the fish and chips were highly disappointing. Didn't state on the menu what kind of fish and was my fault for not asking but it's usually cod. To my disappointment it wasn't cod and it was tasteless and not very nice, had to leave most of it, my daughter also tried it and said the same so it wasn't just me. When asked the server she didn't know what fish it was so I had to go and ask the bar staff who didn't know either and went to the kitchen. They said it was something (pardon my spelling) called Taipei fish. Well I would not recommend it and I think it should state on the menu for future reference.

This place was recommended to us by a few people on Facebook so decided to give it a go. It was quiet for a Saturday afternoon which suited us fine. The two gentlemen on duty were brilliant- attentive without being overbearing. The menu is small but honestly that worked so well for us- my husband having ADHD can get overwhelmed with choices and FOMO so having a limited selection was perfect. I wasn't hungry enough for a starter, he ordered the pork belly bites and the server asked if we'd like them to come with the main which was really appreciated. Husband went for the flat iron steak and I chose the bone marrow beef burger. The food came quickly and was presented beautifully. The pork belly bites were melt-in-the-mouth delicious, so tender and flavourful. Husband's steak was cooked to chef's recommendation (he likes it blue and this was rare) and was perfectly cooked. The burger was a triumph- the bone marrow giving it a rich, sumptuous flavour; accompanied with strong melted cheddar, tomato, baby gem lettuce and pickles it was stunning. My only wish was that it had fresh onion too but I realise lots don't like onion! I was driving so stuck to Fentimans- husband had a craft beer and a cocktail (a reasonable £9) that looked to be their own creation. Atmosphere was lovely and chilled- early 90s pop playing at a perfect volume (loud enough to hear it, not so loud to be distracting!) They even turned the heater down when we asked as it was blasting on us. Would definitely recommend and revisit!

Beautiful food and lovely staff but disappointed when we received the bill and noticed that we were charged 50p for a portion of mustard!

Went here for a meal after returning from a week's holiday which we always do if possible unfortunately they are now closing earlier and often they are closed when we return, so disappointing as we really enjoy our meals there. As usual had a lovely meal 😋 staff as usual were great friendly helpful and cheerful, was very sad to hear that they are closing down soon, such a shame as it's a really lovely place excellent food, good quality, and very good price. Hope to call again before we lose you 😟 .

Visited today and no Gluten free treats again 🙁. My second recent visit with no Gluten free treats available! It's a shame because I live the coffee.

I stayed in parkim ayaz hotel for 10 days. Really nice hotel lovely grounds, staff all very friendly, nice rooms. Met a lovely man called Selami tattoo man in the hotel 4 of us got really good tattoos at an excellent price thanks Selami highly recommend,

My daughter took me for mothers day afternoon tea. We were disappointed that the cups we were given weren't very clean and also the pastries and tiny bits of quiche were cold and cheap quality, the cakes weren't much better, it included croissants that were really dry with nothing on them and Battenburg cake. Nothing very special unfortunately.

We ordered a drink, starter and main course each. After about 20 minutes the main course came. The waiter blamed the printer for not printing out the starters we asked for (sic). Since the steaks were supposed to be cooked to our requirements we forwent the starters. Our steaks were actually very good (cooking and tasting), but I had one element missing that the very clever chef must have known I didn’t much care for, that was destined for my wife.

Middlesbrough - Teníamos gofres, tortitas y té de burbujas. La comida era preciosa y las bebidas eran geniales también! El personal era muy amable y a mi hija le encantó allí. Lo recomendaría como un buen regalo!

Second time going here for Sunday lunch and both times it has been realy nice the staff are very friendly and the food is real home cooked fresh , best carvery in the area in my opinion I would definitely recommend

I visited again to try the month’s Indian special burger. Firstly the service is fast & and the food is really hot. The menu has a good range of options and add ons. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Inside is always very clean and I like the menus being so large on the wall. The Indian burger had their homage brioche bun which was fluffy , tikka fried chicken which is a game changer, masala sauce, smashed onion bhaji which was full of flavour and a mint sauce. Mango chutney tenders on the side and tasty fries. All for less than £18 you just can’t go wrong. They have their homage brioche normal menu which is amazing value for money aswell.

We had not been here for about 3 years and called in just by chance today. We both had milkshakes; my husband had the regular banana and I had the ‘Million Dollar’ banoffee shake. They were both fantastic, very flavourful and made with fresh ingredients (I could see the bananas being peeled from where I was sitting). Our server was called Hollie and she couldn’t have been nicer. We will definitely be returning, thank you.

Lovely staff and wonderful sausages and chips. Always recognise their regulars and know what they like to have and how they like to have it.
