Visited here twice on a recent holiday in Great Yarmouth. The restaurant is ideally positioned on the seafront and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff are very accommodating and friendly and there is a fantastic selection of dishes to choose from. Food is served fresh and hot to the table and tasted delicious. Good selection of drinks available too and reasonably priced. Would recommend and will definitely visit again when next in Great Yarmouth, thanks to everyone for making our visits so special x

Visited for the first time as it's was my Dad's birthday and he really wanted a steak dinner so we decided to try here. Did not regret that decision! Honestly gutted its taken us 12 years living here to find this restaurant!! Firstly, nice variety menu with lots of options. Secondly, the staff were wonderful! Very kind and polite and attentive, without being suffocating. Nothing felt like too much trouble and while we were there some other guests arrived who were clearly regulars and treated like old friends! That being said, we weren't made to feel like outsiders or anything and received just as warm a welcome 😊 everyone was kind and happy and the owner even came out to meet us and ask how the food was. So, thirdly- the food. Perfectly cooked and decent portion size. Steak was absolutely cooked to perfection and accompanying chips and salad were lovely. I had the ham, egg and chips and was very happy. Nice ham slices and egg was runny and perfect. Other details: Lovely atmosphere inside, cosy with lots of decorations on the wall and background music which added to the ambience without being loud and distracting. Toilets were clean, a decent size. These are down a few stairs- however I noted the waiter assisting another customer who was slightly less mobile to navigate these which was nice. He then also assisted with carrying their folded wheelchair down the external steps when it was time for them to leave. Just something to be aware of if visiting and stairs can cause you trouble. The restaurant itself was clean and tidy, the tables were cleaned thoroughly after each customer left. Honestly very impressed and happy with the experience and my dad had a lovely birthday meal 😊 Pricing- it's not the cheapest on the seafront but you definitely get what you pay for and with the quality of food and service I think they're reasonably priced. Would recommend and we definitely intend to come again in the future!

Great Restaurant It's a relatively old restaurant. But it's not a problem at all. It has survived so long it means it's quite competitive locally in my opinion. The environment is cosy and rustic but well cleaned. It provides extra seats for the table for two customers to put their stuff. Tables are not too close to each other that make every customer have more personal space. The menu is massive. It took us a while to make decisions. The food was in generous size. The lamb fell off the bone, very tender. It was enough for a male adult. The rice was well flavoured, I think it was cooked with broth. The seafood was well cooked. The chips were generous amount and hot. The staff are nice and helpful. Looking forward to the next visit.

This has to be one of the best places to eat in Great Yarmouth. Open all year round and a favourite with the locals. Everything that you eat on the menu is freshly made and not frozen. Sea bass and fish and chips are very popular here as are steaks and some well Known Greek dishes such as moussaka. Has a good selection of wines and beers .

This was definitely one of best steaks we have had since long years ago, superior meat quality and that flawless charcoal flavour. The meat was cooked to the perfection!!!! Fish was delicious too, with cheesy flavour to it. The staff super friendly and professional, me and my husband enjoyed very much the food and atmosphere in Charcoal Grill. It was lovely to have had a chat with the owner, what a lovely gentleman. Compliments to the chef!!!!

Lovely restaurant, friendly and homey place to enjoy a nice cosy dinner. Owner very welcoming and makes time for each table. Food is amazing, delicious and well presented. We went back again to enjoy a huge juicy lobster with other dishes. Recommended place to eat if you are in the area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been here twice now and it just gets better every time! The charcoal grill flavour is incredible — you can really taste the difference. Portions are generous, everything fresh and cooked perfectly. Staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome. Easily the best place in Great Yarmouth for a proper grill — I’ll definitely be back again!

The food was so insanely delicious that I literally kept saying 'Oh my God!' every 30 seconds during the meal. I couldn’t help myself – every bite was pure heaven. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had

My partner and I went last night (12/9/25) for an end of holiday treat and wow what a treat it was. We didn't book a table but we were greated by a nice friendly waiter and were promptly sat down to an available table. He brought over the menu and asked if we would like any drinks. The drinks arrived nice and quickly and we were left alone to browse the menu which has lots of variety. There was also a list of house specialities on the wall by the front door as you walked in. We both decided to have the Moussaka which I must say was incredible. You could tell a mile off it had been made in house. It came with a side salad which was very fresh and also very tasty. The owner was wandering around and making sure all the guests were happy with everything which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and attentive but never felt like they were ontop of you and the place had a lovely atmosphere with background music. We both had a dessert which was clearly homemade too. Overall a very nice experience and we will definitely be coming back again when in Great Yarmouth next.
