    Burgers were okay, generally good flavour but seemed a little too moist for a burger. Chilli Hot dog was good, I just would have liked a bit more bite to it. Chips were excellent, perfectly cooked with crispy outside and soft inside. Overall good value and nice food. Service was friendly and prompt.

    The staff at The Yankee's were very kind, even organising a dessert surprise for my boyfriend's birthday! Thank you for helping to celebrate his day, and a special thank you to Jenny for going out of her way to make this happen :)

    American Flavours Done Right! The Yankees Restaurant and Bar nailed it with their peri-peri chicken and southern fried chicken burgers. They were juicy, flavourful, and packed with classic American charm. The place was busy but the attentive staff and speedy service made our experience even better. It's the perfect spot for a taste of authentic American flavours. We will be back soon.
