The best restaurants serving American food in Charles Dickens Portsmouth South East

Would highly recommend, had an amazing lunch with amazing service. Food and coffee was delicious and will be back. The sandwich (Reuben) tasted just like being in New York…. Also very impressed as they had a large print menu, being visionary impaired it’s always hard to see the menus so this way I could read the whole menu myself….. so thank you…… it’s the little things that make the experience a nice lunch out…..

Absolutely terrible - waited 50 minutes for food (on a Wednesday evening!) and ended up cancelling order as had to get to the theatre show. Stop taking ridiculous numbers of app delivery orders and prioritise your actual restaurant customers!

Regret to say we did not have a good meal here. Was really looking forward to it, but it was a big let down. 2-4-1 Cocktails didn’t really taste like there was much booze in, passion fruit mojito was not enjoyable, bit too bitter, needed more sweetness, cherry on top was a bit like a milkshake, tasted just ok. I ordered ribeye which was the least tasty bit of ribeye I’ve had for a long time a lot of sinew, didn’t seem to have a fatty ‘eye’ either- was it even a ribeye? I dunno. The Mrs had fillet , admittedly asked for it cooked medium, which is mad in itself, but that’s her choice.. it came out rare.. not even medium rare. The lovely waitress was a bit shocked when she saw it and quickly had it sent back, it came back, medium rare, but sooo charred that it killed it that it just tasted burnt. The chips are just ok, you expect more from ‘triple cooked in beef dripping’. You have to pay a couple of quid for a sauce, the size of a MacDonald’s paper cup thingy. I poured my peppercorn sauce on my steak and it covered half of it. When sorting the fillet steak for recooking the waitress could tell I think I was a bit gobsmacked at how little you get and got me a second little cupful and when the fillet came back out we got given an extra portion of chips, but this didn’t really make up for how disappointed we were tbh. I never do reviews, but felt I had to after our meal here as I it’s bizarre so many have rated so highly it seems. For the same sort of price, the miller and Carter chain ( not sure there’s one in Portsmouth..) offers soo much more, a salad wedge with a choice of dressings, an onion loaf thing, little bit of side salad and a BIG pot of sauce all included…. Here you get a bit of steak and some chips. £2 for tiny bit of sauce…? Turn it in. Not nearly good enough. But lovely waiting staff. Would never go here again unfortunately.

Delicious food and great service. Best burgers and peri peri chicken in town. This warm cosy restaurant is situated in the centre of Southsea and serves the best milkshakes too.

Forgot my food and didn't even give me a straw

Visited her and it was just not up to the usual standard one would expect. The place was busy and the staff were coping well. However this was not reflected in the food. The chicken was greasy and almost undercooked and the pieces were on the small side. To be honest the bucket we had was only fit in my opinion for the bucket. The chips bore little resemblance to chips I have had there before, very much like cold straw. never will I go there again and probably none of the other KFC's around the country
