Start at the top and work your way down!

Some pockets in society pinned the tail on the increased range of television and how Western (and other forms of culture and lifestyles) culture and way of life was penetrating our daily lives. In truth, it was a combination of those things and more, which then resulted in a boom of restaurants – especially American restaurants all over the island. Now a bar & grill and a burger joint, or even a rib joint was within easy reach of the average Singaporean.

The words ‘All American BBQ’ began to lit up Orchard Road with their traditionally gaudy neon signs and their sizzle of the steak reached far and wide as more and more Singaporeans began to patronise these restaurants. Today, anyone in the mood for an American or a good steak is not limited by their options. Singapore has truly become a hub for cultures in the world to intermingle and tastes to be introduced so that one does not even have to travel to get the best of the world. Morton’s the Steakhouse is just one example of a premier American restaurant to be introduced to Singapore – now anyone can get a taste of their ‘melt in your mouth’ premium steaks and salads with tomatoes the onions the size of golf balls sizzling with garlic sauce right in front of your eyes.

All sorts of BBQ American style restaurants like Breeks! And Jerry’s BBQ, Kenny Rogers Roast and even sixties style American burger joints like Billy Bombers are right within the fingertips and just a taxi ride away from craving to a comprehensive and finger licking dining experience. Within the chaos of restaurants and bars in Singapore, these American restaurants really stand out – with their huge servings, larger than life surroundings and their get and go service. Operators have tried to make their eating houses as realistic and as authentic as possible – so that the American who visits there will feel right at home, and the rest of the world gets a real taste of what it would be like to walk the streets of the South, the busy North or even the bustling cities of New York and L.A – pop in to a restaurant and sit down to a great Western inspired meal.

If you are looking for an American restaurant on a dinner night, then look out for the neon signs, the friendly smiles and the tell tale accented menus and service. Bring your humour and most importantly, bring one heck of an appetite.
