Zaks Waterside Grill - Norwich

Bland bland BLAND America theme rly cool how ever food was over priced and tasted rank, felt ill afterwards, waitress was aggressive

DONT GO HERE. Food is terrible, you could make this at home. Tasted bland, everything felt like it was shop bought. Ended up making me feel sick (I’m not sure if the meat was even cooked properly). Staff were constantly pestering. Nice look out onto the river but a shame the atmosphere wasn’t as lovely. Seats were uncomfortable. Food was overpriced.

It was a lovely early dinner, we sat outside without booking a table. Food was lovely and service was great. Great value for money and portions were huge!

An amazing spot to enjoy the sun! The setting with the castle and the river is stunning. The staff are all so friendly, smiley and helpful! We love hot food but the chilli was way too spicy. Also recommend melting the cheese on the burgers and nachos. We appreciated the attention to detail on the vegan and vegetarian menus!! Thank you!

It seems to be a thing that the people of Norwich who love Zak’s have their own favourite one of the three. So, of the triumvirate, my heart is definitely with Zak’s Waterside. In spring and summer, I love sitting out by the river and watching the swans and paddle boarders go by, but even in the rain the conservatory has its own charm and shares the really special view of Cow Tower. The food is mostly burgers but with a lot of fun variations on that theme, and always generously portioned. I’m a vegetarian and the veggie versions always suit my taste and include the Moving Mountains option (although I can’t speak for the vegans). If you’re a meat eater, my friends swear by the ribs. I’m American and whilst I can’t offer a view on the authenticity of the place, I find the enthusiasm and love for all things American at all three Zak’s to be quite endearing. Thank you Zak’s for many happy visits.
