Quick info
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 are what reviewers return to most, with several saying they could not finish a plate and one noting nobody should leave hungry. Named dishes include the cauliflower rocks, which one diner called the best thing tasted in ages, baby back ribs with a maple syrup and red pepper glaze, and a hot dog that a first-timer thought excellent. Close behind, reviewers describe friendly, quick service, and one regular says staff are helpful with allergy questions. A longtime customer since the 1980s recalls the restaurant compensating meals when something went wrong. The American diner theme and decor also draw praise. Complaints are minor but specific: the soda float arrives in a sundae glass with very little soda, one reviewer found the milkshake just ok, another had a burger they felt was beaten elsewhere, and a pulled pork side came out only lukewarm. A few call the prices on the pricey side. One diner closes a visit still hoping to return for the chocolate brownie they never have room for.

“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.”
