The restaurant is nice and clean, however tables are a bit sticky. Burgers were fresh, but not standing out, but FRIES WERE REALLY GOOD! Maybe it's because we were the only table at a weird hour - the fries are made so fresh and just right - crispy on the outside and so fluffy on the inside! Definitely one of the better fries places.

First impressions count, and this place tucked up a grotty set of stairs ticks all the boxes…read more It's early on a Tuesday night, so not heaving, but the ambience is great. A bunch of booths for dining, decent music (it's starting to fill up now) and funky decor. Bud is only 3.30 a pint a revelation for a Henley-ite and the waiter is friendly and helpful. Food has now turned up literally within five minutes. Let me taste and then carry onTwenty minutes later and two stone in weight. I have absolutely nothing whatsoever to complain about. That was a damn good meal, at a damn good price and probably one of the best American meals I have had in my entire life. Sublime burger cooked to perfection, absolutely smothered in chili, a mountain of fries, a mixed salad big enough to be a meal in itself and a pint of Bud. Grand total £13.95. Get in there!

This location opened just over a year ago in a city one might least expect. But, as Norwich has…read morebecome a growing international and university town, I suppose it only made sense for the franchise to expand to this part of England--the other closest location is an hour away in Cambridge (which I will provide a similar review to after this). Prime real estate was secured as you can't miss the big, bold sign on the high street near the Blue Line bus stops. It's also probably the only place in this region where you'll see the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes flying together other than an embassy. It's important for me to distinguish between experiences in different countries. Back in the US, particularly in my home state of California, the plethora of what I believe to be more superior burger options always puts Five Guys on the back burner as an afterthought. That being said, with the absence of these options in a medium-sized British city coupled with occasional cravings for a good ol' American style cheeseburger, Five Guys is the closest one would ever get to satisfying that hunger. And they always pull through, here at least. After making FG a monthly habit and then trying it again at a US location, I can only say that somehow FG tastes so much better in the UK. The burgers are cooked better (they even make their bacon right with the perfect crisp) and though opting to have it "All the Way" with the core toppings makes it a little messy, the efficient assembly line and foil-wrapped product to keep it all together has never failed me, particularly in Norwich. My usual is the Little Bacon Cheeseburger and either a Little or Regular Cajun Fries (seasoning sometimes on the side) depending on whether I'm sharing. When I speak to my local friends about the menu, I bring up the Bacon Milkshake option (bits of streaky bacon mixed in). They always look at me with disgust, but hopefully people will eventually come 'round to the idea. As far as service goes, with everything made to order, there will always be a slight wait. On my first visit, my order was mistaken, leading to the manager genuinely apologising for the delay and offering a swift refund and replacement. If I ask for a side of BBQ sauce (theirs has a little more zing to it), no one ever bats an eye. Also, add FG to the limited list of late-night eats; it's the only place open late in town that isn't a pub. It gets busy but seats are aplenty on both levels and the space is always kept tidy by the staff.

I generally don't eat in the resturant though again because it's always busy and not enough seating. So I tend to order my food and take it too my car. Considering how busy it is that has not made a difference to the cleanliness of the resturant.

We had the classic strips (surprisingly filling) which comes with a sriracha mayo, and the social club sandwich - chicken was moist, tender and crispy on the outside. Brioche was toasty, burger sauce is off the charts delicious. Could not recommend it more! Ended our meal with some home-made churros with toffee apple dip (alt: hot chocolate or sour cherry). Absolutely delicious. Cannot fault W&B on anything - our server, Hannah, was a delight. Service was speedy (week night), food was hot and delectable. If you like chicken and you are in central Norwich, you'd be a fool to not check this place out. Will definitely return!

Find this one on the food court level of Chapelfield Mall beside the escalators. It's themed as an all-American diner that serves up American-style pancakes and breakfast, hot dogs, burgers, and milkshakes. Because they frequently offer student discounts--sometimes as much as half off meals, especially on student shopping nights--I've had a little bit of everything here whilst studying at the university. The breakfast plates are okay as are the burgers, and their chilli dogs are probably the closest you'll get to a Coney-style hot dog in Norwich. I was a fan of their Tabasco fry seasoning, which unfortunately seemed to have dropped off the menu (it was pretty spicy).

I recommend the All American which is streaky bacon, 2 chipolatas (small sausages), hash brown and two pancakes with eggs on top, with a pot of maple syrup, a bit pricey at £7.25 but very good none the less. Coffee is ok with free refills. This is a chain, but the food and service don't reflect that, it's always a good way to start a days shopping.

In fact, I must say that if anyone LOVES chicken, happen to be in the area (or short drive/commute away), and have some cash to dispose of, they should just visit this place and order a whole chicken and whatever side you fancy to yourself. You have to understand that I didn't understand what was going on in the van filled with the amazing family that picked us up from the station. I had no clue what the mysterious cues they were giving each other. They were literally speaking in tongues as far as my ears were concerned. But I recall that one word was tossed about..."Nando's". My lady missed this place. They all knew it. I freaking LOVE good chicken. They also knew that. So it wasn't a surprise then that this was the first place we decided to stop for a meal after arriving at Norwich from Heathrow. We wanted good food. We freaking wanted chicken. Old school flame grilled CHICKEN. Was the chicken MAGICAL? Yeah, it was pretty freaking phenomenal. The sauces definitely took the whole experience over the top. One piece chicken...five million dabs of sauce. One dab of sauce...one whole darn chicken. YOUR choice! Either or...it comes out freaking pleasant. Okay, before people start thinking I'm crazy or I'm paid to do this...well, I'm neither. I just love chicken and this place makes me content. Chicken-lovers...this place is a MUST! NOTE: My friend compared this to Pollo Loco. I...corrected him. Please don't ever compare this place to Pollo Loco. It's like comparing caviar to salmon roe. it will never come close!
