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.

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!

There are bowls of water laid out for our four-legged friends.

They have a huge bar with an extensive cocktail list (my wife was in heaven). We went on a Friday night and had to wait at the bar for about half an hour before our table was ready which is pretty good I think. The food wasn't bad. I had calamari for a starter which was unbelievably good. That was followed by a Black and Blue Burger which was not bad. Good size portions. The service here was friendly and I never had any problems getting there attention. I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came as I was expecting to pay more. Loads of pay and display parking just across the road. There are many more places in Bury St Edmunds that I would like to try before coming back to Frankie and Benny's, however I can see me coming back here one day. I want to give this place 3 stars but we had such a fun experience, I think it's only fair to give 4 stars!

The pepperoni wasn't even baked into the pizza, and it kept falling off. It doesn't come sliced, but when I was trying to cut it, it was such a struggle. I was better off going to Domino's or Pizza Hut honestly. I had to send it back. They replaced it and I got the Cajun chicken wrap that came with cole slaw and fries. The wrap was slightly better; at least it had some kind of flavor to it. The fries were hard with no seasoning. I even tried to add salt and pepper, I still couldn't eat it. I wasn't a fan of the cole slaw either. The only thing I got that was decent were the mozzarella sticks and the bottled Arizona tea. Obviously from my one star I would not recommend eating here. What a shame.

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).
