Reviews in Great Yarmouth

Overall was satisfied although there were a few problems. There was a fly in the coleslaw, chips were cold, one order got mixed up and someone who has celiacs disease and asked for GF food was given non GF food and if they hadn’t have noticed it could’ve been extremely bad. The waitress we had was so lovely and kind tho!!!

We decided to go for a meal at the Smokehouse as a birthday treat for my wife, mainly as we've driven past it many times, trying to get there in the times advertised, 6 minutes from fullers hill, Great Yarmouth, in reality it takes 7 lol. Ample parking available, we were shown to our table, and asked if we wanted drinks, we ordered 5 glasses of fizzy and a jug of water and asked to order a sharing platter while we decided on our mains, we were advised it was best to order all food at once. The drinks arrived but only the water, when we queried this, the waitress said she check, it appeared our other drinks order got mislaid and they arrived. We ordered our food, a sharing starter and 5 burgers for mains, we were told it might be a 30 minute wait, which was fine, after 20 minutes our mains arrived first, we queried why no starter apparently we hadn't ordered one, but then part way through eating we did get an apology for not getting the starter as its order had got mislaid too. Other than this the burgers were amazing, the portions sizes were great too, probably the best burger I've had in a long while, and very good value. We decided to have dessert, portions were a little small, so not as good a value as the mains, but the pecan pie was glorious. Overall I'd recommend the smokehouse as a place to eat, plentiful mains, friendly staff and plenty of parking, will give it a second chance, just to see if our experience was just due to them being busy.

Great place, good service & tasty food! Well done to Dom who looked after us brilliantly. We will always return!

I have lived in the area for years but only ate here for the first time on 9th August 2021, and I wish I hadn't waited so long. My wife and I both had steak which was wonderful, very tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff were super and the restaurant itself was great and had a great atmosphere. We will be back. Thank you to all who made it a lovely evening for us

Went with my children and grandchildren it was brilliant, the staff very friendly and professional have no complaints what do ever. Will be coming again.

Excellent meal for family of six adults. Friendly efficient staff, tasty food and varied menu. Pleased to see several vegan options. Would definitely visit again.

Nachos were divine! All portions huge. Burger a tad over cooked but coleslaw also divine! All the staff were excellent!

Local restaurant to us. Good value for money, good food, staff are attentive, altogether a good experience and enjoyable birthday celebration. Will definitely go again.

A really nice restaurant with lovely outdoor area. Staff are attentive and the food is good. Burgers are the best option in our opinion.

Great

Took some friends for a meal Sunday evening, lots of items not available including beers. Kalahari was under cooked, had seafood burger should have prawns but got shrimps, staff walking around without masks and looking lost. Not a well organised restaurant.

It took us a while to find but we got there in the end . The setting is really eye catching We were met at the front door and shown to our table . The service was good , prompt. My salad that I ordered was lovely although too much ice berg lettuce , a mixture of leaves would make it more interesting and the chicken had a lot of skin in the mix / for a salad lighter bite . My husband ordered a bucket of wings which were lovely , did need more sauce on them and a “ wet wipe “ to accompany them would make a nice touch .. the decor really makes the place and is a popular venue . But it was

The good bits: - Friendly Service - Great menu - Good value for money (VFM) Improvement areas: - 2 items on kids menu turned out to be unavailable - Waitress didn't know what a white wine spritzer was - 2 meals turned up for the same person Other: - Portion sizes are huge, creating quite a lot of waste, but I suppose good VFM. Skip a meal before you go!

Main food was average. Halloumi fries were disgusting & overcooked. Nachos were uneatable. Way too spicy. Macaroni cheese was more macaroni than cheese.. unedible. Prices were too high for quality & quantity of food. Disappointing range of flavours of milkshakes, only 2 flavours on offer.

For anyone visiting around this area this is one venue you have to try ,the staff are so friendly and helpful the establishment is well set out as an american themed diner ,oh and don't eat before you arrive as the portions are so mega .ENJOY

Lovely place, great food and service to match

Dreadful! Possibly one of the worst meals I’ve had. No concern about Covid whatsoever. No hand gel, masks or awareness. Everything designed to scrimp on costs. Young, very inexperienced staff, loud, rushed, order errors, no napkins, no dishes for BBQ bones. Really horrible cheap food quality, Ambience very basic. I wouldn’t go again even if it was free. What a disappointment!

Waitresses were very loud and almost shouting which appeared to be due to the fact that the were wearing earpieces. Waitress even said she couldn't hear us ordering, which probably explained why they got one of the orders wrong. Waitress didn't apologise and just questioned us all, even though the whole table heard it was wrong. Whole experience felt rushed and the false upbeat americanised language of staff was just unnatural. Starting with a comprehensive list of what wasn't available from ghe menu wasn't great either.
