Americans Like Food...A Lot.

1. Adam's Roadhouse
The only reason why I am even putting 2 stars on this place is because we didn't eat here so I don't know what the food is like. All I know is we walked in this place and the only people there were sitting at the bar with the OTB and standing outside…More »

I thought the service here was pretty good compared to other BDubs I have been to. Our waiter actually gave us refills and asked us how we were doing (this doesn't happen at most BDubs I have been to). Food was good, they did mess up on our order a…More »
3. Bahama Breeze
I've been here numerous times since my first review. It's a love-hate relationship.
It's best on a weeknight after work or a weekend (when you don't need to care about time). On those days I would give them 4 stars. Their food is good (most times -…More »

Food was overpriced in my opinion- good but nothing to brag about. My husband didn't like his food however. Service was alright but we were also in a big group so it was harder to tell. Their white sangria is wonderful and their wine is pretty good!…More »
6. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
I've been here a few times. They are good for your good ol' home cookin'. I doubt any of it is really healthy, but it does taste good! It's a very cozy, homey atmosphere with great service and some pretty good food. The other half of the place is a…More »

I have been to 4 Cheesecake Factories in my lifetime, and this location is what started it all. The downtown Cheesecake Factory is bar far the prettiest of them all. The water fall outside is so pretty, and the inside makes you feel like you are in a…More »

Love this restaurant- Great food, huge menu, awesome cheesecake, good drinks! Only bad part is there is usually a wait and it is loud and crowded. But the service is usually good. It's also a moderately but I think it's worth it.
9. Culver's

Categories:

I'm not much of a fast food nut, but I do love me some Culver's custard. I love their flavors of the day. Their burgers and fries aren't bad either, but I know they just can't be good for me! The drive-through is always fast and friendly, and the…More »
10. Village Inn Restaurant and Bakery
Village Inn has a pretty good breakfast and great pie. I have come here numerous times for breakfast, breakfast food for dinner, or late night pie and coffee with friends. It's a good place- better than Ihop.
11. Wendy's
I've never had issues here - the inside is always clean, the staff is great, and the food tastes better than most fast food places. Wendy's has some of my favorite burgers and fries (at least from a fast food place), and their frosty's are amazing! I…More »

I do love me some Cheesecake Factory. Their cheesecake is unbelievable. I also like their lemoncello cake - if you don't like cheesecake try this! Since it is in the Mall it can get very crowded and there are long waits. Service can also be slow.…More »

I came here this weekend for a friend's birthday party. We went on Saturday night on a holiday weekend and it was pretty dead. We had a huge group of people, so we filled the place up pretty quickly. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive,…More »
14. TGI Fridays
Very good! We had a great waiter and the food was good. Atmosphere here is fun. They have good drinks as well. It was nice for a change!
15. Wildfire
Wildfire really stepped it up. My husband and I came here on a date and walked away half-impressed, not really expecting to return. I wrote a better Yelp review than he did...he was pretty displeased. After reading his review, the managers sent us a…More »

I've been here numerous times for drinks, dessert, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Food is always good, drinks are great, and never had problems with the service. It can be a casual outing or a nicer dinner. The brunch is pretty good - not the best I've…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
We came here for Sunday brunch with my family. The service was pretty slow, and the food was decent (I've had better brunches, but much worse as well). We thought it was cery over priced for the quality and quantity. It was $50 with tip for 2 of us…More »

20. J Alexander's Restaurant
Loved this place. The atmosphere is really nice, yet still casual so you can wear jeans. The music was definitely enjoyable, the service was fast and friendly, and the food is great. A little more expensive but worth every penny!
21. Jameson's Charhouse
I was not impressed at all by Jameson's at all. The atmosphere is casual and dark. We were seated in a booth quickly, so that was a plus. Out server was nice, but a little hard to understand. I will say that you get a lot of food for your money, but…More »
22. Thunder Bay Grille
I've had some good experiences here and some meh experiences here. They are your average american restaurant with various things on the menu to choose from. They have a decent brunch - I wouldn't say that it is AMAZING, but it's one of the better…More »
23. Jumer's Restaurant
I just came back to Jumer's for the first time in years. We came for Sunday brunch. This place has gone downhill since it's glory days. The restaurant and hotel used to be much better. Needless to say, they don't serve a bad brunch. It's pretty…More »
24. McDonald's
I hardly ever get fast food but for some reason I really wanted McDonalds the other day. I couldn't believe the line at this drive through! The staff was friendly and the food actually looked like the pictures on the menu (impressive!). I am…More »

I have never heard anything good about OCB, and they were right. This place is cheap, but it's absolutely disgusting. Even their pancakes were gross. Everything has to be fried or completely unhealthy. Nothing looks fresh. It's great if you are…More »
27. Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime Steak
Food and service was decent, I just think it's a little pricey for the quality. It's nothing too special.
28. Symposium Cafe
I had heard so many good things about this place, so we decided to try it out. I like the atmosphere - it's decorated very cool and different than most places around. However, that's about as good as it gets. The food is pretty pricey and isn't much…More »
29. Portillo's Hot Dogs
I love their chocolate cake shakes and burgers! They have so many things to choose from and everything is very good. Nice service, clean atmosphere. Usually pretty busy and sometimes the drive through can take a while but they are pretty efficient.
30. Superdawg Drive-In
I had been to a Superdawg a few years ago and decided to come try it again. Conclusion: Superdawg is not so super. We did the drive-in experience, which is cool and something different. However, their menu is very very small (basically 2 kinds of hot…More »
31. Stella Blues Cafe
To be honest we were disappointed and very underwhelmed by this restaurant. We came here because we heard raving reviews, but we didn't find anything to brag about. We probably could have made better food, their menu didn't have anything different,…More »
32. Ram Restaurant & Brewery
The food here wasn't amazing, but it was decent. They have a really good sampler deal on their brewed beers- I wasn't really a fan of any though. Service was good, atmosphere was noisy. I wasn't shocked and awed, but it wasn't horrible.
33. Red Crow Grille
For how expensive this place is, you don't get very much food. And I can't even say is was some of the best food I have ever had. The atmosphere was dark....meh, I wasn't impressed.

A really nice romantic restaurant for a date or celebration. I've been here a few times, and it was pretty good! It is a little more expensive, but the food and service is great. The menu has a lot to choose from, and from what I remember it was…More »

38. Ruby Tuesday
I hadn't been to Ruby Tuesdays in quite some time, and the Cheesecake Factory had a 30 minute wait, so we decided to come here. No wait- that's a definite plus. It's kinda dark and it was a little warm. We were seated quickly and our server came…More »
39. Ross' Restaurant
This place has awful food- the only thing that is good is possibly the late night coffee if you are really.....really drunk. It's just gross.
40. LongHorn Steakhouse
I was pretty impressed with Longhorn. To start off (a little on the negatives) their parking is scarce, and we had to wait a good 30 minutes to be seated. The bartender didn't really pay much attention to us because she thought we were just waiting…More »
