The best restaurants serving American food in South East

The Woods is a Worthing institute and one of the best burger joints around. Offering a selection of distinct burgers, The Woods will not leave you disappointed. I first visited several years ago and was blown away by their mozzarella sticks. My partner and I have jokingly called them mozzarella bricks ever since that first visit as their sheer size is phenomenal. The burgers themselves are delicious, with perfect flavour combinations. I recently tried the Dirty Birdy; fried chicken on a waffle with cheese, bacon and maple syrup. A classic American combo that can only be improved by being washed down with a Macaullay shake! Featured in the attached photo is their burger challenge. Whilst we certainly didn't complete the challenge, we can confirm that despite the volume of food, the quality and taste does not disappear. The challenge includes a portion of Porky Boi Fries, which might be my favourite thing on the menu! Now, The Woods may be slightly more expensive than your average burger restaurant, however, their food is worth every penny. It is the perfect location for a birthday treat, catching up with friends, or even a date night out. I cannot recommend The Woods enough and when you go and visit, you will understand why!

We were made very welcome as a group of 7 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Food and service was excellent. Such a lovely find. Thank you.

Great cocktails in quirky and friendly place, 🤪

Great customer service and food was quick, hot and fresh. All the staff were very good. We liked the selection of drinks especially that they also had caffeine free options too. Would definitely recommend

We had another amazing meal at Meat Liqour Brighton and whilst it’s been consistently great for many years, our latest visit on Fri 16th Aug was the best yet. The burger smashing has been honed to perfection; well seasoned super thin patties, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Fries great as always and the dead hippie sauce was the perfect accompaniment. A special mention to our host Dylan, he ensured a great burger was accompanied by a great experience and made the visit memorable for all the right reasons. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Thanks again Dylan and all the team at Meat Liqour. You smashed it!

great cider. good little music venue.

I'd been wanting to try their burgers for ages due to hearing good things, so perhaps ny expectations were too high. Nothing wrong with the food but I think way overhyped. A tasty burger but not the best I've ever had.

Hired the bar and function room for a surprise birthday party. Staff were extremely helpful with letting us setup before and assisted with packing up afterwards. Good size venue with a separate room which we used for a buffet. There is outside space as well. The bar staff are a credit to the Golf Club. Thank you.

Their burgers are so delicious you definitely get hooked forever

The Prince Albert was a Shepherd Neame pub for years, but is now is a genuine free house, selling up to 3 cask ales and 12 craft beers and (mostly) premium lagers on keg. They take part every year in Hastings Tap Takeover, and regularly have their own tap takeovers, and an excellent Oktoberfest every year too. The food always looks enticing, but I live too close by to not feel right eating there (this ain't Eastenders!), but they have specialist food too, for example, specifically for Oktoberfest, you can guess what type of food then. On my last visit I enjoyed their Oktoberfest, including drinking British versions of German beer, but also the real thing, including 3 beers from Bavaria, Hacker-Pschorr's special seasonal 6.0% Oktoberfest Bier, Hofbrau Munchen's 6.3% Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier, and Flotzinger Brau's 5.8% Wies'n-Marzen, brewed specifically for the Rosenheim Autumn Festival. In addition, check with the Prince Albert's website if you would like to catch live music there, because they do have live music sessions. The pub opens at 16.00 during the week, and at 12.00 on Saturdays and Sundays.

We visited for a late lunch. The chicken burger I had was lovely, a great piece of chicken and more fries than I could manage. My partner enjoyed his hot dog too. The only disappointment was the online menu didn’t match the one in the establishment - I was looking forward to a raspberry milkshake which was no longer actually on the menu and the prices were more than we were expecting, although still fairly reasonable.

Food was stone cold when it arrived

Myself and my partner had the ultimate sharing roast. Cool idea with a good selection of food. Lily was our server who was really welcoming, happy and smiley!

Fabulous service. Steak was cooked to perfection. Can beat it.

Jess, our server was so patient and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Great service The food was great too!
