Heads-up on eating American-style here

If you’re craving something close to home in Sharm El Sheikh, skip the chains and hit smaller places around Hadaba or Soho Square. They tend to serve fresher, less processed food and the owners actually care about how your burger or ribs turn out.

Also, don’t be shy about asking for things like extra pickles or a custom sauce,locals do it all the time and usually get a kick out of the requests. Oh, and if you see a spot advertising barbecue nights, jump on it. Those evenings are where American-style ribs and pulled pork show up in full force, and that’s worth planning your visit around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about American food spots in Sharm El Sheikh? Here’s what I hear most.

Absolutely. If you want a proper burger that doesn’t taste like frozen patties, check out places around Soho Square or El Hadaba. They do fresh-grilled, and usually with plenty of toppings. My personal favorite is a small diner near Soho Square that’s open late and never disappoints.
You’ll see some chains, but there are quite a few local joints doing American classics with their own spin. The local versions can be surprisingly good, especially if you dig past the main tourist streets like Naama Bay.
It’s not as common as burgers or ribs, but yes, some cafes near Naama Bay serve pancakes, eggs, and bacon combos. Don’t expect a full US diner-style menu, but it’s enough to satisfy a craving here and there.
Generally, they cost a bit more than local Egyptian spots, mostly because imported ingredients and Western-style cooking cost extra. But portions tend to be big, so you’re not getting shortchanged.
Most American spots here keep things casual. You won’t find many white tablecloth places focused on American food. Think more relaxed diners or lounges where you can kick back with friends.
