About Zaks Mousehold Diner
On Gurney Rd in Mousehold Heath, Zaks Mousehold Diner is an American restaurant built around booths and diner memorabilia matching its theme. The menu runs through hotdogs, burgers, and curly fries, with cauliflower rocks offered alongside the classics for a plant-based option. Milkshakes and soda floats both arrive in the same sundae glass, and portions across the menu tend to run large enough for more than one person to finish. Chocolate brownie rounds out the dessert list. Servers are assigned to each table rather than a self-service counter, and seating is walk-in.

Customer Review Summary
Large portions come up again and again, with reviewers repeatedly noting they could barely finish their plates. Hot dogs and burgers draw steady praise, and specific standouts include baby back ribs with a maple syrup and red pepper glaze, and cauliflower rocks described as a new favorite. Milkshakes and soda floats get mixed notice, with one reviewer disappointed the soda float glass held only a small amount of soda, and another finding the milkshake just okay. Service is repeatedly called friendly and attentive, including for allergy accommodations, and one longtime regular describes staff making things right whenever an order fell short in the past. A couple of recent visits flagged small kitchen slips, like a pulled pork side served only lukewarm, though these read as minor against the overall praise. Pricing draws occasional comment, with a burger and curly fries plus dessert running into the mid teens and twenties. One reviewer recalls a server providing a discount voucher to mark the diner's anniversary.

“Thank you so much to the amazing Natalie who took my breath away with a £50 off token to celebrate Zak's 50th year in Norwich! We were literally blown away. As ever, Zak's food was fresh, crisp, moorish, totally delicious and great value. As ever, generous portions and everything as advertised. I like when it says it's spicy and crispy and it actually is! I tried the (new to me) cauliflower rocks which were literally the best thing I've tasted for ages. Delicious!! I still failed to make it to dessert so watched my husband partake while I had another delicious glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc! One day we will visit Zak's in the afternoon just for dessert and I will actually get to taste the chocolate brownie I always fancy but don't ever seem to have the room for! Thank you again Zak's at Mousehold, and our wonderful waitress Natalie, for another delicious meal and especially for the very kind voucher. Very humbled! Happy 50th Birthday and may you see your 100th! Amazing. Thank you. XXX”

“Awesome! American themed diner. So much to choose from on the menus. Spoiled for choice. Great service and the decor really suited the American theme. I've had better burgers but to be fair I only tried one off a menu of many.”

“Restaurant theme is fun, food portions are good for adults, you shouldn't be hungry afterwards! Pricing is standard, around £10 to £15 for a large hotdog and chips. Service was friendly. The only drawback is the glass size for a soda float. Understandably the milkshakes are in sundae glasses but the soda float also being in this glass means you get a very small amount of soda. That being said, I would visit a Zak's again.”
