Zaks Waterside Grill & Bar Restaurant in Norwich

Reviews

1. Ceri Simmone Taylor ★★★★★

   We had no problems booking but I did find the car park to be really tiny and a tight squeeze. I have no idea where else we could have parked. The restaurant has great decor and really adds to the American feel and theme. The staff are all really lovely, enthusiastic and friendly. Service was efficient and the food was brilliant. We had no problems here at all and highly recommend visiting. After eating we were able to sit outside by the river with a drink, it was a lovely summers evening and just perfect. Will definitely be returning!

   We walked along the riverbank from Fye Bridge to Zaks, a pleasant stroll there and back. The baby ribs in barbecue sauce were utterly delicious, they fell off the bone. Fries came hot and crispy, I didn't have enough capacity to finish the lovely coleslaw. Excellent service and atmosphere, with a relaxing view out across the river to Cow Tower.

   Great decor and location next to river, cocktail's quite sweet and not at a top level but came here for food which was very nice and plenty on plate for what you pay. Staff very pleasant, attentive and helpful. Unable to score on atmosphere as was a late lunch so was a bit quiet, would definitely return for an evening meal.

   A few years ago, going to Zak's was an experience, the burgers were amazing, glasses were frozen and the staff buzzing. This has clearly changed, the food was ok, the 2 lonely pieces of processed cheese on a burger was upsetting as were the tiny, end of the bag fries. The Caesar Salad with Halloumi was small but the courgette fries were great. We ordered cocktails, I asked for the long island iced Tea, (to share or not does not, it seem mean 2 sizes) the server did not let me know that this was only in sharing size and a bowl of iced tea arrived, I said that I was expecting a normal sized one and was told , that's the only size we do. I would have been ok with that had the drink had the kick I would expect from this cocktail, it was vaguely flavoured overpowered by the coke. The staff were indifferent which made a birthday meal disappointing. Maybe this was just a bad day at the waterside.

   Good food and service. Would not go to celebrate something special. But if just to eat it's delicious food. We had chicken / rib combo. Ribs was the best we have ever tried. Didn't like the coleslaw.

   Fairly good. Big portions, no frills. Nice that it's an independent mini chain. Could do with a few basic extras such as a little coleslaw or a small side salad. You just get a burger and lots of chips. Overall we enjoyed our visit, food is a bit more basic than some other diners, but not too expensive.

   Lovely views of the river and Cow Tower from a nice outside seating area. Very pleasant staff but were informed of my onion allergy and then brought out food with spring onion all over it. The burgers were really good and we were not waiting very long. The spare ribs were apparently very succulent and tasty but as they were sprinkled with spring onion l wouldn't know. Not too expensive. Would definitely recommend.

   We stopped at Zaks for breakfast during a recent stay in Norwich and loved the place. They have a small parking area outside and no doubt the place is popular amongst the local students in the evenings but the overall setting next to the river and choice of both American and English breakfasts was lovely.
