Steak Burgers
Hand-pressed using premium steak mince, our burgers feature perfectly seasoned patties cooked to order. Served on fresh brioche buns with house-made sauces and accompaniments, each burger combines traditional American flavors with modern twists. Customers consistently praise them as the best in Suffolk, with vegetarian options also available.
Southern Fried Chicken
Double-fried for extra crispiness, our Southern-style chicken uses secret-spiced batter and locally sourced poultry. Available as standalone meals or sharing platters, the dish maintains moisture while delivering bold flavors. Regular customers travel from across the UK specifically for this menu item.
Craft Cocktails
Expertly mixed using premium spirits and house-made ingredients, our cocktail menu features both classic and innovative creations. The whiskey sour and themed cocktails particularly stand out, complementing the American comfort food menu while appealing to diverse palates during evening service.
Delivery Service
Launched during pandemic restrictions, our delivery service maintains food quality through specialized packaging. Covering Lowestoft and surrounding areas, it offers the same menu as the restaurant with efficient turnaround times. Customers praise the hot, well-presented meals even after transportation.
Sunday Roast
A traditional British-inspired menu featuring slow-roasted meats with all the trimmings. Served with seasonal vegetables and Yorkshire puddings, this weekend special offers generous portions in a casual setting. The dessert menu complements the hearty main courses.

We've ordered here many times and always had good food. Unfortunately last night was a different story. We pre-ordered a large take away order, sadly when it arrived it was missing my order of the Chicago hot dog. We telephoned immediately and had a bit of trouble getting through, eventually we got to speak to someone. They did apologise profusely… and said they will send it out when they get another order! When it did arrive it was Stone cold and was not really like it was described. Whether it was made and forgotten with the original order I'm not sure, but it's put me off a bit.
