The 8 best places for steak in Lowestoft

Had a devious meal here. It's by the water and the staff were fabulous. My starter of pork belly with apple and cinnamon sauce was a treat. Piping hot. Steak and seafood available, fresh lobster dishes. A lady said the whitebait was amazing.

Food was great and the service, if your in the area this is definitely highly recommended

Excellent experience. Food was absolutely delicious and atmosphere just right . 1st time here , certainly wont be our last. Staff were very polite and attentive. Can't ask for more.

I enjoy the 3rd Crossing as a drop in for coffee or very simple bar food. They really can't cook restaurant food. Over last 6 years have eaten in Thier restaurant 3 times - I don't recommend it as fine dining - sham because it's a perfect location by the water, parking available outside, tables out and in - couldn't be better situated and staff are friendly.

A lovely meal we had at the Third Crossing. Would like the vegetables not boiled, but pan fried as mentioned on the menu. However, was lovely and would come back again.

We’ve just had a very tasty lunch at The Third Crossing. I was so happy to have a delicious piece of grilled haddock, being able to have it with no awful batter was fab and the chips were good too. My husband said his burger was very tasty and the beers were very much needed after walking from Lowestoft to Pakefield then Oulton Broad 🍻

With a superb choice of breakfast options from pastries to cereal, to toast and preservatives, fruit and yoghurts or why not order a cooked breafast, they have something to cater all appetites. Unlimited tea, coffee, juice, could you ask for more? The cooked breakfast was well cooked and you just order what you want 😉 A good way to start the day 🙌 😌

Me and my partner had a lovely Sunday roast apiece and followed It up with a couple of Biscoff sundaes, we had excellent service from Emily F and we have booked again for Wednesday lunch

Lovely restaurant, lots of parking, clean, good service & amazing food! Steak highly recommended! They asked about allergies as soon as we arrived and provided the allergen menu. When ordering, we were asked who had the allergy to ensure food was cooked separately. Very impressed! Although, I would recommend adding more gluten free options to the menu as they were very limited.

First impressions are not great, walked in after booking a table for four over the phone, to a musty smell , the place appeared clean but unloved. Stood waiting at "wait here to be seated " point for what seemed like 10 mins but probably only 5 , ended up walking around trying to find someone and by now having second thoughts as the place was not busy so it can't be that good ?? , after getting fed up had a look on the computer myself (no locked screen ) tut tut !!! We took ourselves to a table and met a staff member on the way , we mentioned the computer said we were on table 27 ? And he replied , that's just randomly generated you can sit wherever you want to . We sat down ordered drinks browsed the food menu and ordered food expecting the usual pre cooked re-heated quality which usually comes with this sort of establishment, BUT........HOW WRONG WAS I ... the food that turned up was of fantastic quality and you could tell they took pride in what they were serving as it was also well presented , cannot fault in any way !!! Would return here without hesitation, if you can overcome the initial fear and inevitable misconceptions when you walk into this place then you won't regret persevering

Popped in on the off chance of getting a table. Seated immediately. Tracey our waitress was very attenuative and very knowledgeable. Her service was very prompt and and she has a lovely personality. Food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I visit the Foxburrow regularly and always have excellent service from friendly staff. The food is good and of good value. There is a lovely atmosphere and the sitting arranged well. Would recommend this restaurant which is of high standard. Well done Foxburrow. Satisfied Customer

Incredible food! Beautifully presented too. Service was friendly and warm. The staff even did their best to cater to our children’s allergies and autism/picky eating.

Working nearby and I have visited on every trip since discovering it. A nice walk from my hotel along the sea front then a great view from the pub. The food was the best I’ve had, this time I went for the whole place in shrimp sauce with potatoes and beans, £23 but worth every penny. The fish was perfectly cooked and quite thick so my hesitation about not satisfying my appetite was not needed. The beer was problematic pumping and although acceptable I questioned it 🤔 and was asked if ok but did not want to be fussy as just a bit on the flat side but was real ale. After the meal the nice lady said she had changed the barrel and would I like a half on the house which I accepted ,very good service in going that bit further to look after customers .👍

Genuinely the best battered cod I've had in a long time, which alongside 2 other dishes all came out really quickly. Nice pub with excellent sea views, very friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

Our new local having just moved here. Lovely location looking out to the sea and good value food. Is often very windy so wrap up.

Popped in for something to eat, saw they had Abbots Ale on tap so had that with the fish and chips. The food was good, let down a little by the chips. The beer was very disappointing as it was cloudy and had floaters in it. The bar staff apologised and said someone had just moved the barrel a little too hard, and they refunded me the cost of the pint. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food, good selection of real ales from multiple breweries. Nice atmosphere too. Really good table service, yet remaining the relaxed pub vibe. Amazing views over the coast also

Sat outside having a drink and enjoying the view, there was a lovely selection of ciders on draught and the soft drinks weren't too expensive. We didn't eat but hoping to go back for a full English at some point.

Haven’t been here in a while. But food still at a good standard and portion sizes are good. Service is friendly and rather speedy (especially with drinks). Worth a few visits as the is a good choice from the menu.

Disappointed with what we got. This place was recommended for it's burgers and yet what we got was 3 dry and overcooked patties. And they weren't even handmade, but rather processed patties. I had the plain burger and went double, thinking I was in for a treat. But I couldn't finish one patty. I've had a lot of burgers and this wouldn't rank in my top 100. Chips were good and plentiful. And the milkshakes were nice and chocolatey. Service was quick. Server was polite and professional. There is a good selection once you get your head around the quirky names. Will we be back? No. Would we recommend? Again, no. There are much better burgers out there if that's what you are after.

Fabulous restaurant! The food was delicious and worth the price. We loved the entire experience so much that we came back a second night to get another meal that was better than the last one. The owners Jo and Colin tun a fabulous establishment and I felt like I was in a proper American restaurant from the delicious food to the enormous serving sizes.

The perfect place to go for a meal, friends or family. The food is always good quality and good portion size. The staff are very friendly and always ask how your meal is etc

The service was pretty good. As long as you don't have a steak it's not too expensive. I had the surf and turf, I was a bit underwhelmed by the steak, it was cooked rare like I asked, the only problem was it had no seasoning at all which left it rather bland. The chicken in the chicken burger tasted rubbery, which didn't appeal to my wife. The kids nuggets portion was a decent size. The lemon sorbet I had for dessert was very nice and refreshing.

Went for dinner, had a regular burger, deluxe & platter. Great tasting and simply prepared burgers. Just lettuce, tomato, pickle & onions. The fires were hit and fresh. A great place to grab a family meal. Have the onion rings they are terrific!

We were in the area for a few days and ate out every night. We found Sgt Pepper’s via a Google search and was immediately intrigued. Open since 1982, away from the main Lowestoft town centre (with local parking) if you are a 60s or Beatles fan, I think it’s safe to say you are gonna LOVE this place. Brimming with Beatles and decade related memorabilia (there’s even a mock zebra crossing and a drum kit on the ceiling plus numerous juke boxes dotted around), even the stairs to the toilets and cubicles have numerous Beatles posters and photos, everything a budding Beatles fan would ever want or need – forget The Cavern Club, this is place to be….So how about the food and drink ?? Love the menu, pulling on musical references (see pic), very clever. However………………. Be careful what you select as some meals (for me) offered much better value for money. I had the “ZZ Top”, which is basically a burger in a bun with some coleslaw and a dollop of pulled pork and 2/3 of a plate of French fries (always a good way of making a meal look more than it is) while my wife had “The Supremes” – an absolutely incredible chicken breast covered in pepper sauce with a nice side salad, some huge spicy potato wedges and a dip, I was envious and tbh, ended up finishing her meal because she was absolutely full. I had room LOL. I recommend you think a great deal about your choice of main meal. The food was fresh and well cooked and arrived nice ‘n hot. I do wonder if a number of customers eat here for the kudos and intrigue and the food is excellent, but a bit pricey if you’re just having a burger. Budweiser on draught and a nice selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, something for everyone. Staff were pleasant. Be warned, the place closes relatively early (we turned up initially at 8.45pm ON A SATURDAY only to be told that kitchen was shut down as the place closes at 9.30 !!). Needless to say, we went back a few days later (our last meal before we went home) and got in at 6.45. Overall, well worth a visit if you’re say, within a 15-20 mile radius, especially if you’re a huge Beatles fan, but some meals (for me) seemed a bit expensive. Doubt we’ll go again, simply because we live over 200 miles away, but as we were staying in the area, so glad we went. Check it out.

Attended with a group of ladies from our local WI for afternoon tea. Venue very attractive but no atmosphere as only us there. 16 in our party but just 5 tiered stands with enough for 3 on each brought out. We found it difficult to explain to waitress that need another portion but she seemed to think we had plenty and probably some left over! She then brought us a further plate of sandwiches and another scone. The sandwich fillings were disappointing too, no choice and appeared to have the 4 cheapest fillings, I.e no beef or smoked salmon. No choice to have fruit teas just tea or coffee. Scones were dry and cake choices poor as well. Would not return for afternoon tea, probably poorest I have ever had.

Came here a few years ago as a Christmas Groupon gift. there was 8 of us all together. I really enjoyed my food and the barn itself is beautiful! Some of the party I were with prefer bland food (non complex flavours) and this place is vibrant and flavourful. I wouldn't have known about this place if not for my Groupon voucher. Highly recommended.

Visited for Friday Steak Night. Excellent value for money, £30 for two, Steak and trimmings plus bottle of house wine. Quality and quantity far surpassed expectations . Lovely venue and attentive staff without being intrusive. Very impressed.

Went for dinner and we were the only ones there so didn't do great for the atmosphere but the service was great. We did get the wrong tables food but this was soon realised and taken to the correct table, lucky as my wife was just about to cut in to her pork dish. I had the lamb and the portion was tiny, just 2 small strips of meat, it was very tasty but certainly wasn't a great size dinner. The pork portions were a lot better and I do wish I'd ordered this dish, but the duck we also ordered was very dry and the potatoes were hard. I feel for the prices they charge for their food the quality and portion should improve. We have been here many times over the years but feel this will now be the last.

I'd been here on my own several years ago and found everything to be excellent. I was looking for somewhere to book to take a good friend for a birthday lunch that she hadn't been to before. Due to us both being cautious with Covid rules, we were more than pleased with social distancing, temperature taking and mask wearing from entering the reception area and throughout. Staff were pleasant and efficient, we weren't rushed, menu excellent as was the food, couldn't fault anything. Good prices too. My friend loved it and felt safe and will definitely be returning. Beautiful rooms and lodges if you want a nice relaxing stay. Well done to all. Kathy D, Norfolk.

Lovely venue and atmosphere. However they also have undertrained staff and overpriced food for what you get. Stood at the door for a good 5 minutes waiting to be seated with staff walking past and no acknowledgement which set us off on a bad note. The service was slow which the manager did warn us about saying they were very busy and there would be a wait but the restaurant was only half full. Not impressed with the steak at all, was unable to cut through and hardly ate any of it but was still charged full price. The lemon cheesecake was amazing though. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Looked nice Location nice, we popped by in the afternoon for a coffee, we sat down had a coffee and tea to peruse the evening menu, as we was going to eat their that evening, the doors were left wide open and it was cold, staff were moving chairs around banging them around dragging some forgetting there are people there, and the service was sloppy not a great impression. So we decided to eat elsewhere that evening.

I ordered deal for 1 and it was delivered by just eat. Pizza lacked any flavor. Food delivered by just eat was cold. I would not be getting anything from Pizza Hut ever again and would not use just eat again either. Food delivered as picture below

5 star Pizza Hut Restaurant! Lovely food, nice and fresh for the buffet. All ready and topped up quickly. The female manager in the morning was lovely, interacting with the children and took family photos for us

Basic pizza place. Food was hot, but nothing to rave about. Limited tables available, but not busy. Understand some maybe reserved but for when? No-one sat at them for at least an hour. Service with a smile. 25% blue light discount, but not on the deals. Toilets clean. Not rushing back though.

Visited this restaurant on 08/04/2025. Had not been for at least a year. It is much improved. The food was always ok, but was really good this time, good choice for buffet, salad all fresh. biggest improvement was in the atmosphere and the welcoming helpful staff. Was served by Jess and Emiia

What a disappointment! We were looking forward to a delicious take-away pizza-we always order from here , when we're on holiday, camping 5minutes away. We've always thought it dreadfully expensive, but so worth it. Not tonight- cold, tasteless with a floury tasting base & we played 'hunt the pepperoni ' on a £30 pizza. Awful.

Pizza hut can often be hit and miss, but this was my best ever visit to one. Ordered using the QR code which was a doddle. If people cant use that system they clearly have issues. Within a minute of putting my order in, my drinks were brought to the table. Salad bar was fully stocked, all clean and tidy. Pizzas came piping hot and perfectly cooked. Staff checked in on us to make sure everything was fine. Couldnt fault it.

Lovely place to visit. Service was good and the pizzas were lovely. Place was quiet but plenty of ppl ordering take aways.

Just had. Chicken mushroom fried rice. Very dry. And black beans with peppers. Very dry had to throw it out. Got bag of chips as well they not much better. Won’t be using them again unfortunately. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The food was hot and tasted good. Friendly staff to take the order too.

The place has a welcoming atmosphere with lovely staff to great you in and take your order with ease, very happy with my experience and the food was top quality with great portion sizes.

When we arrived we we're taken to our table there was food on floor table was dirty the food was very salty that was every single dish there wasn't much food to choose from most of it looked like it had been there from lunch time it wasn't a nice meal at all won't be going back there

Food was delicious, and the staff was reliable and friendly

Lovely meal food is delicious and always on point friendly staff fantastic Chinese

Not local to the area but our hotel recommended. Generous sized portions and a really good amount of quality meat in the dishes which makes a change from others we have tried. Delivered to us and nice and hot. Would definitely use again if in the area

The staff of Black Dog were absolutely brilliant, very polite and incredibly proffessional. They made us feel welcome and the food was lovely. The Toby's Bears where also incredibly cheerful, welcoming and very friendly! The atmosphere is very welcoming the furniture and layout spacious and comfortable. Even the toilet facilities where clean and well kept!

Great space for a cake and beer! Dogs welcome 😍

I've been in and out of here all through the weekend as it's opened during the first light festival and there's been so much choice from the different food outlets! Great burger and outstanding fries from oisihi kitchen, loved the pulled pork tacos at hermanas, pizza bases from black dog deli are superb and I had a couple of the different toppings which were quality. Mostly I've been snacking on the run and planet ouef (love that name!) Takeaway scotch eggs and sausage rolls in various options have kept me on the go. Only had the opportunity for one beer at Sir Toby's, their Pavilion beer commemorative ale so far but will return when I can sit and chill. Beautifully redone inside and way better than the old white elephant! Toilets are great, inside and outside sitting spaces are great and all the staff are really happy. Well done and thank you for turning this place into somewhere to go!

Had Pie mash n liquor here from a lovely lady owner wife had fish and chips from a local shop pavillion was nice and bar was well stocked a delight to get out of the wind

I came in for lunch and had the Rainbow Bowl from Tres Hermanos. I didnt have any filling with it, but it was more than ample food for a lunch. It looked beautiful and tastes delicious. Its a lovely place to come for some food and drink and look out over the North Sea. Also, the toilets are spotless.

Refurbished and reopened in June 2022 as an indoor open plan area with a variety of great food outlets in mock market stalls, including pizzas, Asian food and Mexican food. A bar too selling decent craft ales on draft as well as a beer fridge. Guest DJs often play music whilst you site and have a bite to eat and a drink and well ventilated. This redevelopment offers something completely different to what the Lowestoft townsfolk are used to and hopefully it will be supported by them. Its also great for visitors to the area in offering something a little different to the usual expected seaside fare.

The beer festival wasn't the largest I have been to local selection of fine ales. But the time spent there heard a brilliant folk singers who were excellent 👍
