Hamburgers, French fries, big and juicy steaks … are you drooling yet? These are all the foods that come to mind when you think about American cuisine.
Kuwait has some of the staples of American cuisine right in the heart of its major city – no need to fly halfway across the world to experience it.
Whether you’re a local looking for a change in pace or a traveling American looking for something to curb your homesickness, Kuwait’s offerings will cater to your needs.
Read on as we take a deeper dive into some of the restaurants that are at the heart and soul of American cuisine!
1. Slider Station
This is one of the highest-rated American cuisine restaurants in all of Kuwait.
If American culture is hamburgers and cheeseburgers, then this place is about as traditional as you can get when it comes to American cuisine.
Not only is the food highly regarded, but you will also walk away having experienced something that only exists at Slider Station locations. They identify themselves as “industrial chic” with their food served to you on a conveyor belt. This “blast from the past” will transport you to a period of simpler times as Slider Station is modeled after an American gas station from the 1940s.

2. The Breakfast Club

Dining at Teatro Restaurant is what the definition of “treating yourself” really refers to. Beauty surrounds you as you indulge in their wonderous menu.

9. Texas Roadhouse
You know what they say in Texas… “Don’t mess with Texas!”
Texas Roadhouse clearly does not mess around when it comes to their meats and potatoes. They serve everything from Rib Eyes, to filets, to prime ribs, to New York strips. They also make all of their side items in house from scratch – including the free fresh bread served with their unique cinnamon butter.

10. Johnny Rockets
You cannot get any more of an American cuisine experience than a visit to the classic Johnny Rockets. The first Johnny Rockets was founded in none other than the infamous Los Angeles, California. You will find yourself walking into a 1950’s diner with Coca Cola themed décor every place you look.
If you’re in the mood for a gigantic burger, greasy fries, and a classic ice cream shake to wash it all down, then a visit here is an absolute must!
Kuwait has a vastly diverse cuisine culture, and there are many options when you get hungry; however, Kuwait’s American cuisine restaurants rank amongst the top-rated restaurants in the country.
Experiencing American cuisine while overlooking the Arabian Gulf is something not most people can say they’ve done, but in Kuwait, that opportunity awaits at almost every corner.
