Well I guess it's the time of year again to partake in the 'Easter Fare' offered by the American Way. One of my favorites is 'Bunny Burrrger' and fries served on a bed of seasonal salad flowers. Followed by 'Choc Egg Shake' or Choc Egg supprise pudding (It's banana). And then the entertainment, the staff and managment wear their Bunny costumes whilst serving customers. (NO Steve dont even think about it it's a joke). Oh yes, today I had the seasonal spring lambs tail pie with a touch of mint, french fries (not too many) and some of those little beans. A nice red wine and apple pie and ice cream (a favorite of mine). I think my host uncle cire had the steak burrrrrrger. The superb service with attention to detail we received from Jo and Anitka was second to none many thanks. I suggest you book a meal before they run out of bunnies.

Every Friday I go to the American way and find the service and food brilliant. The staff on Fridays are very helpful and on the ball. They are always willing to go the extra mile for you. Thanks for the great service Friday night team. Keep up the good work.

Now is the Season to be Jolly (Bah Humbug) I was chatting to Fat Bloke the other day and he suggested calling in to THE AMERICAN WAY for a Turkey Burger with french fries and fairy lights. Followed by mulled milkshake. How right he was, what a fantastic feed, best in Cheam. Mind you the sweet recomended by Anita was a bit of a let down (very pink and the texture of shaving foam ) its all a matter of taste. The apple pie is superb (but only if served by Anita).PS. Ask Anita to say 'Burrrrrrrrrger'. HoHoHo, Happy Christmas etc To All at The American Way.

The soup is nice and hot and easy to digest. Not too many french fries. The fish cakes are good,so is the salmon. Red bits in the salad are a bit hard. The wine is fantastic and easy drinking. I cant always manage a sweet but the ice cream is excellant (no hard bits please). That Steve's a hoot with his glove puppet and been here since I was a lad. The staff are always very obliging and fat bloke thinks Anita is the best thing since sliced bread. They have nice new tables and chairs out side where you can smoke and inhale the traffic fumes whilst eating your Burger,I think it must be the American Way. I do hope I have not told you this before,but its a good story.

I used to go here in my teens when they had American diner style booths, which I loved. I dont really like the garden seats they have now, & I find it too open to other diners, but the food itself is amazing. I've especially always had a penchant for the lime milkshakes, magic!

A premium restaurant,soup nice and hot,meals easy to eat and digest,far too many chips though. Large portions more than I can eat. Wine excellent and always the right temperature. Staff helpful and obliging. Fat Bloke likes apple pie ice cream and Anita. And as for Steve, he is a right hoot,ask him to get his glove puppet out.

I used to work there as a student 27 years ago and still make the trip from Bedfordshire, with my family, 3 hard-to-please teenagers, and Steve (who's been there FOREVER) always makes us feel like old family. Very welcoming, great burgers and a relaxed atmosphere.One problem - I've never got enough room for one of their desserts!

Can't believe someone found the staff unhelpful. Its the best "burger" joint I have ever in my life been to. Even in America they are not this good!!! Go for the Jackpot its awsome... bbq sauce, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce with a big jucy burger in a bun with chips!!!! Lovely Jubley. Staff will do anything for you. And kids are welcome!!! hard to find decent places that will have kids and help you out. Keep it up!!! thats why its been open thirty odd years!!!

I cannot believe anyone found the staff unhelpful!!! Once I was with my family they did not have enough chairs so one of the staff ranf his dad who turned up 5 minute later with a chair!! The Away is the very best rersturant in Cheam Village (and there are a lot to choose from). Well done Steve and staff.

We like it in there. The burgers are freshly cooked the best around for quite a few miles! American Express has been around for years, they clearly have the 'recipe' right - but the decor could benefit from a little updating. Family friendly, good children's food and accommodating staff.

The food is nice, if you like greasy american food but the staff are quite rude. They made me feel quite unwelcome.
