What is it: The American dining juggernaut has finally landed in Bangkok, bringing its trademark mix of oversized portions, glossy interiors and menu pages that read like a novel. While it’s best known for mile-high desserts, they also turn out some seriously satisfying sandwiches – hearty, nostalgic and built to feed a crowd.
Why we love it: It’s unapologetically American, from buttery brioche and crisp bacon to mountains of fries on the side. The lineup runs from Renee’s special (a half sandwich and soup combo) to Cuban sandwich layered with slow-roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. Everything feels nostalgic yet over-the-top in the best way.
Time Out tip: Go for club sandwich – a textbook-perfect stack of turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato on toasted white bread. It’s crisp, balanced and deeply satisfying in its simplicity – a classic.
