The best restaurants serving American food in South West

My wife and I wanted something special for our anniversary meal. We both had rib-eye steak and it was delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. The menu is changes daily with both meat and seafood dishes. I will try the lobster on our next visit.

I was so excited to try these macaroons as I have an obsession with them. From previous reviews I was prepared for the expense and macaroons tend to be pricey anyways but I was disappointed with how dry they were. There were a variety of flavours and colours were beautiful but I was shocked with how dry and flavourless they were. I’ve had macaroons from many places and can say these are sadly the worst.

The most friendly and helpful service I think his name was sanchez (he served me on 16/05 @4pm) such polite and friendly customer service !!

Awful from start to finish. The staff were clueless and the food and drinks were mediocre at a push. Loaded fries were more like semi dusted with topping and straight out of the freezer. The buttermilk chicken burger was more like a mini chicken fillet. When we complained we were met with a staff member who obviously wasn’t trained to deal with complaints as her response was ‘you keep complaining’! I would not recommend this restaurant and I find it strange how they claim to have hundreds of happy customers but only a handful of reviews on TA. Work out what you are. Are you a cocktail bar or a restaurant? May I also suggest that if you are the owner you maybe spend a bit more time working at your own restaurant and also train your staff.

Great facility, exceptional staff, clean showers and well stocked shop and pub. Good location for beaches, Cheddar gorge and Wookie hole.

Delicious coffee, at an excellent price (£2.90). (There were even yummy-looking gluten-free cakes available - but I resisted!) Really friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Firstly can I say that I was really excited about this venue opening and I really want it to succeed. We went to one of the “soft” opening nights which had a number of glitches including a wait of over 2 hours for food but we put it down to teething problems and assumed there would be improvement. We wanted to return but none of the performers appealed until we saw that James Morton was appearing on Saturday evening. We arrived at 7.30 it was then a 20 minute wait until a waitress appeared, we ordered drinks which arrived and then we ordered food and water, the starter came reasonably promptly but the water never appeared. When the starter plate was collected we ordered more drinks, a gin and a GLASS of wine, a few minutes later a BOTTLE of wine was brought to the table and no gin, we decided to keep the bottle of wine but had to remind a different server about the gin. Meanwhile the excellent James Morton had completed his first set of the evening. Then the original server asked us if we had our starters which had arrived and been eaten, at this point alarm bells were seriously ringing. 2 tables who arrived much later than us received their mains at that point we felt we had to ask if ours would be much longer, (along with a few other nearby tables) we were told that they would check but no one got back to us but they arrived at 9.40, 2 hours and 10 minutes after arrival. So, basically nothing had improved since the “soft” opening a few months ago, the attention to detail from the waiting staff is very poor, the food is ok, but expensive, wife’s chicken was overcooked. So after a quite eventful evening the icing on the cake was about to unfold. James Morton had just started his second set when an altercation between him and the security guy led to James refusing to play on, a situation that could and should have been handled better and could have been easily avoided. Apologies for the lengthy review but hopefully you’ll agree that a lot happened on our visit. Message to the owners, improvements need implementing rapidly.

¡Salimos caminando de nuestro campamento y logramos perdernos por completo! La orientación nunca fue mi punto fuerte. Nos encontramos con este encantador pub con la ayuda de Google Maps. Al principio no parecía abierta, pero probamos la puerta y afortunadamente lo estaba. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida de la camarera del bar, quien también nos ayudó a tomar un taxi de regreso a nuestro campamento. Bebidas deliciosas y algunos paquetes de patatas fritas que eran muy necesarias después de que nos sorprendió el clima británico :)

Amazing burgers best we have ever had!! Not keen on burgers normally but this place came highly recommended so we thought we would try it,glad we did!!! The chef was lovely and helpful!!

The Black Bear was brilliant! Great building, lovely garden by the river and fantastic staff. My first contact was a really helpful young man who explained the ethos of the pub and welcomed my dog Doolally. Had a great real ale then came back with my wife next day and had brilliant Senegalese food from the pop up restaurant. They have the biggest bbq I’ve ever seen in the garden. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Tried for 3 nights to order a delivery … the first two nights they weren’t accepting orders and on the third and final evening I pre-ordered and had my order rejected. I give up!

Used to come here a lot back in summer 23 but unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be, still decent range of beers but our chicken wasn't as good, a bit tough and chewy 😞

Well, this is what happens when you jump on the "Just Eat" band wagon. We have ate her before and it was very nice food and service. Unfortunately, today was not the case. We decided to visit for a breakfast and ordered our food. Thirty minutes later, nothing arrived so my wife enquired about the order, only to be told that they had a large delivery to contend with. My wife went off to use the toilets and came back stating they were a disgrace and looked like they hadn't been cleaned. After forty minutes, we cancelled the order and left. There front of house stated they were a chef and a driver down, which was of no concern to us and wasn't disclosed when ordering our food. Over all, a very poor experience, with poor communication and preference to orders going out the door, to those dining in. The waitress also had to apologise to an adjoining table for their late food.

Went back in the first week it opend, excited to try it as it looked so good on social media running up to opening... First of all disappointed with the interior design..i thought it would have had more of a steak house feel...instead it had just been freshly paintd and looked exactly same as charlies bar that it used to be. It could have been fantastic with the correct styling. The service was terrible , young girls waiting on, didn't ask us for drinks, bring menues etc,we got them ourselfs because were sick of waiting...after 2 hours!!.. we had only just had mains, never even got asked about dessert, so gave up paid & left..gave them benefit of doubt as it was new. Thought it was just teething problems because food was good. But we went recently to try it again... im sad to say its not changed...the service was terrible... we had to ask for drinks, wait ages to order despite only 2 other tables in the whole place. Waited over an hour for food to come after ordering and it wasn't as though they were busy,lots of staff and only 2 other groups in the place. When it did come mine was cold, semt as though it had been cooked an left whilst waiting for other orders in our party were prepared. When they came to clear table, they moved half of stuff then wandered off, leaving the rest on the table, all the rib bones, 2 of our plates, an loads of empty glasses . It was like he'd got sidetracked an forgot what he was doing. When we asked for the bill they brought it, then we waited half an hour an nobody came for the money, so went to till to pay,the waiters were all stood on end of bar playing on mobile phones!. If they had done their job right we would have probably had desert an another drink, but we were just fed up of sitting waiting. Food was not good this time either... steak had grisstle, ribs were grissle and fat, colslaw was watery an looked like it has been sat in the pot a week. Definitely wont bother trying it again. Such a shame. It needs someone in charge directing the younger waitresses, because there seems to be plenty of staff but nobody seems to know what they are doing an just wander about waiting for you to ask for service. All these people saying how good it is, iv no idea where you normally eat, but this is by far one of the worse meals out we have had in a very long time. The lady on the bar was good tho, very friendly.

Nice bar with good live music and cheap drinks. The only downside - at least if you're over the age of 21 - is that it's a student hangout, so it's very crowded and shouty on Friday and Saturday nights. YMMV.
