Blue Frog
There are seven Frogs around Shànghǎi, and their mix of burgers, sports TV and four-hour happy hours (4-8pm) mean they’re perennially popular. On Tuesday nights drinks are Y25, but if you can down all 100 of the shots they list, then you’ll get a free one every day for life and your name on their wall of fame.

A
City Diner
With vintage posters on the walls, the American-sized portions and a menu full of classics such as southern fried chicken, grilled cheese, and burgers (including a vegie option) from Y50, this place pulls out all the stops in its efforts to re-create the style of a genuine US diner. It’s gotten rough around the edges but it mostly works, although the slightly erratic service sometimes spoils things. The hefty all-day breakfasts (from Y60) take some effort to walk off.

Kabb
For those times when the desire to chew becomes overpowering, this smart grill hits the spot, delivering authentic American-portioned comfort food at midrange prices. There’s a good selection of main-course salads, burgers and wraps. The outdoor cafe-style seating is particularly popular for a slower-paced weekend brunch (from Y70), when the menu stretches to French toast with bananas and walnut syrup, and eggs Benedict – all with unlimited coffee.

Malone's American Cafe
This American-style bar/grill has been around since the mid-90s and is still popular with those in search of beer and a wide range of decent burgers (there are 31 of them on offer with fries and coleslaw). There are also wraps, a range of Tex-Mex and China's only Philly cheesesteak. Big-screen sports, a pool table and live music of the Filipino cover-band variety (from 22:00) add to the frat-boy vibe.

Grandma's Kitchen
The perfect place for Americans pining for a taste of home, Grandma’s Kitchen could have been transported from the midwest – only the white picket fence is missing. It offers a simple but well-cooked take on classics such as meat loaf, steaks, burgers, pancakes and apple pie. The all-day breakfasts, either the vegetarian option (Y30) or the hefty Grandma’s Skillet (Y45), are justifiably popular.

Union J
This new kid on the block has a 16-strong menu showcasing well-prepared ‘New American’ fare such as steak tartar with cherry-olive tapenade and puréed egg yolk ($148), and a cheesecake ($48) that arrives in a Chinese takeout box. They’re best washed down with the awesome homemade sodas ($55).

Grandma's Kitchen
'There's no place like home except Grandma's', goes the blurb, and this place is certainly homely, with a scrummy no-nonsense American menu (steaks, burgers, apple pie and all-day breakfasts), efficient staff and accommodation out the back if you eat so much you'd prefer to be horizontal. There are five branches in town.

Flying Pan
Fancy eggs Benedict, chocolate waffles, even a full English breakfast for dinner? No problem. Breakfast is served 24/7 in a 1950s-American-diner setting at the Flying Pan.
