"The service was really good. The staff were friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Slow service, one meal came out over 5 minutes after the other 3."
"The only reservation I have is that the staff walk around at a 100mph and make you feel a little anxious and rushed."
"When complained the server laughed at us!"
"Had to remind staff about our drinks order by which time we had and finished our starters."
"Service so slow when only two tables."
"The service was terrible everyone else was told about the special offers and it just seemed as if your a tourist they just want you in and out as soon as they could get you out, must only be for locals."
"Disgraceful service, waited 20 mins to be served for drinks then over an hour until we walked out."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Unequally decorated with memorabilia on the walls and a separate bar area."
"Reasonably priced, high quality and welcoming atmosphere."
"Nice atmosphere and open all afternoon so we had a long leisurely lunch."
"Lovely decor and great vibe too."
"The decor is very American Diner, and the music in there background fits the theme very well."
"Wonderful timeless Great Yarmouth American themed restaurant."
"Big Portions and the most authentic American decor and atmosphere."
Cons:
"Just unfortunately for us we had the loudest, rudest person on the table next to us.. too the point it actually put us off finishing our food."
"The place looks as if it needs some tlc carpet looks rank and the sanitisation in the toilets not brill."
"Big mistake selling off the bar area and blocking it off as that created much of the atmosphere that sadly, Yankee Traveller now lacks."
"Background noise at unprecedented levels thanks to the neanderthal party of 12."
"The decor looks like its never been updated."
"Unfortunately the new menu has destroyed any options for children with allergies."
"Awful place its so over priced, had to wash my clothes once I got home, stale smell in restaurant."
Value
Pros:
"Reasonably priced, high quality and welcoming atmosphere."
"Very reasonable prices."
"Always go here when they have the 2 for 1 burger meal offer as makes a cheap night out."
"Their deal for 2 for 1 on burgers is outstanding."
"Good food and large portions, friendly staff."
"The portion you get is incredible and the taste was incredible."
"Excellent atmosphere, attentive service, good value for money."
Cons:
"I think it's time for me to stop thinking Yankee Traveller is anything other than an expensive sauna serving overpriced food and drink."
"I had a coffee milkshake, and whilst it was extremely good, I believe it to be overpriced for the amount you get."
"The prices have also increased - £3 for a can of Dr Pepper?! £5 for a basic milkshake?!"
"All in all expectation's were not met, I understand it's under new management all I can say is I hope they get it back to what you expect, let's face it it's not cheap, not a problem if it's good, £270 bill with no deserts, expectations need to be met."
"Awful place its so over priced, had to wash my clothes once I got home, stale smell in restaurant."
"Travelled 130 miles to go to this restaurant, we used to go there a few years ago, 6 of us were there, as we entered being forced to load the NHS app at the door was a poor start."
"Used to love the place but it has really gone downhill."
