50 Best American Restaurants near Clinton

“I would definitely recommend calling ahead or reservations - it was very crowded and had a long wait for walk-ins. The wait was well worth it - we ended up sitting at the bar with great locals. The seasonable cocktails were fun too! The brick oven pizza was so delicious and the staff were so friendly and personable.“

“We have been stopping here for breakfast a few times a month.The food is always very good, as are the prices. The owner & staff are friendly.But it goes beyond the food being good.Last visit after working a 12.5 hour shift, we finished our breakfast and when we were ready to leave found that the car would not start. While calling AAA the owner’s son and two customers came out to see if everything was ok & ask if they could help. They got us started.In a time when it’s hard to find a single person willing to go out of their way to help you we had three. Three people that we only know to say hi to when we see them in the restaurant. We do not even know their names.This is Clinton”s Sunshine Cafe. Not just great food and prices but friendly people that are willing to help you. People that make you feel welcome.I would highly recommend this place.“

“The steak tips bomb sub was amazing, one of the best I've had, skip the sweet potato fries though they were thin and disappointing, the regular fries my wife had were better. She ordered a chicken wrap she liked very much and we shared a basket of delicious fried pickles. The bartender who also served us, though not friendliest was nice enough and attentive (more important) getting our drinks and orders out in a good time even though she was by herself with maybe half a dozen people at the bar itself and another group of customers at a different booth. Overall great experience, will def return for another steak tips bomb!“

“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .“

“Absolutely amazing food. We got the hot chicken sammies with hush puppies and carrots and let me tell you, if you've had a better chicken sandwich I'd be surprised. Friendly staff and a great selection of unique items to browse while you wait. Prices are beyond reasonable. We will be back again for sure!“

“Birthday celebration at Brady’s. Chef brought out a 4 week aged Tomahawk steak for the birthday boy. Brian took excellent care of us and made most of our meal/wine decisions, which I appreciated. The best dessert - toffee top pudding. We will be planning our next event here“

“My wife and I just left Logan’s table and I have to tell you it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time.

“Just went here for Mother’s Day brunch with my family and everything was wonderful. We were seated quickly, food was delicious (as it always is) and our server Lola was so sweet, attentive and knowledgeable about food and drink questions 10/10“

“We have been going to J's over the years and the food is always exceptional. My family went to J's for Mother's Day and I want to say that they hit it out of the park! Whrn there is a set menu and a busy day,as there was for Mother's Day brunch, I tend to worry if the food will be up to the usual standard in any restaurant. I have been to other restaurants for holiday meals where the experience was hurried, overcrowded and the food sub par. Not the case at J's! The food was amazing! Did not feel rushed at all. This restaurant is a gem!“

“Went for late lunch, early dinner with a friend. Totally new place & area. Pretty big & spacious. The truffle fries were best. Ahi tuna was okay. Our server was very friendly.Update: Went again for dinner with my friends fam. I ordered the general tso with shrimp. It was delish. Everyone liked their food they ordered but the wait was too long. Went again for the third time for our post marathon meal. Vegetable bowl with shrimp was amazing. Love every bit of it.“

“Best BLTs and coffee in town! Great atmosphere!“

“Been here a few times but thought this visit was worthy of a review. The atmosphere is great, although seating was a little tight. Our server was incredible. Attentive and did not keep stopping in to ask what else we needed.There were 4 of us, and the food for everyone was great. 2nd best chicken parmigian, i have ever had... Well done!“

“Great breakfast food and service. Seating is limited by small size of restaurant. Clean rest room. Veggie omelet was very large. Comes with toast and home fries. Coffee was hot and never had to find someone for a refill.Vegetarian options: Lots of add on. Veggies, beans, rice, toast , pancakes etc.“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“This place it's cute, casual, like you are walking into Grandma's house through the back door (the kitchen) Service it's great, very friendly staff, they serve your first cup of tea, loved that. The food was to die for, everything was amazing. We got to try some new things and the scones were the best I ever had, so much so that I didn't even miss the clotted cream (they make their own, it's different but still good)Lovely atmosphere with a bunch of friendly people.The only thing is that it took an hour and a half for us to get our food. We had somewhere else to be so we kind of rushed through tea.Overall, great place with awesome staff and delicious food.“

“My favorite restaurant!! The tenderloin is delicious and I always get an order of deviled eggs there and one to go. Always friendly and attentive wait staff. This place is special, I haven't gotten a single thing off the menu I didn't like. My fiance and I always go for our anniversary and my birthday and we recommend it to everyone we know.“

“Stumbled upon this place today with hubby. Love the decor and cozy ambience. We had 2 different breakfast orders and both were delicious! The lady who served us was friendly too. We will come again bringing more of our family members. Highly recommend this place.“

“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“Delicious! Has not disappointed yet….“

“The owners are super friendly. They will serve you breakfast or lunch until closing. I've eaten here twice: brisket sandwich and second time 2 pancakes. Both are wonderful!Parking: Big lot, free to park there. It's a strip mall with other shops on either side of the Diner.“

“Never been there before , was in town for business, I ordered 2 eggs, toast and their home made hash. The hash was spectacular, a lot of places say "home made" and it's regular old fashion hash , this was definitely made in house . Prices are very reasonable .“

“Incredibly delicious ice cream! Our favorite spot around! They always have a great selection and occasionally roll out new flavors. The employees are always super kind and patient, and will let you try a flavor if you’re unsure or haven’t had it before.They sell other drink and food items, which I have yet to try!Outdoor and indoor seating available.Dietary restrictions: Their flavor board clearly marks which ones are dairy free, contains nuts, alcohol, etc.“

“I visited Texas Road House, which I had not for a while because my experience the last time I went through four years ago was not great but going back today with my daughter and grandchild and Cese, our waitress was amazing very attentive very kind and respectful made it fun for my granddaughter great choice and hiring her she’s amazing.“

“Just ordered 2 pizzas and a pulled pork poutine and it was amazing! We got the MASHachusetts pizza and it was so good! We will absolutely be ordering again!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food. Definitely going back!“

“We had several meals here while in town for business, and every time we were impressed. So far absolutely everything is fantastic. My travel companion is a bit of a Clam Chowder snob, but he did rate it as “good” which is a great compliment from a Martha’s Vineyard/Cape Cod type of person. Butternut squash soup was good, the turkey chili was great for this Texas native. They also have an extraordinary variety of chips. Lastly, the pickles…. I can’t say I loved the flavor, but the quality is 100%.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Stopped here on my way back home from Boston and I was happily surprised by the warm atmosphere mostly created by all the handpainted food plate sign posted all over, the room is not that big and it was at full capacity when I arrived but I was able to sit on a table, waiter was friendly and food was very good, the fact that this restaurant it’s been in business for 76 years it’s self explanatory definitely going in to my favorite places“

“10/10 always. This was my first time at the Westboro location. Our server sean was great! Attentive, fast and honest. We got street corn to start and the famous honey corn bread. We also tried the piña-margarita! It was amazing!!! The vibes were after work hours and it was filled but not too crowded. We were seated right away. Def coming back“

“Don't overlook this place when it comes to a sit down restaurant. It's actually has a very nice atmosphere inside for dining with a pretty decent menu to choose from. It's in a very quiet, nice area of town, right up the road from Dean park. Good for kids too.“

“Festive holiday drinks last night were delicious and made us very merry. Fantastic staff, service and dinner too. Just what my elf and I needed.“

“I was down at the Phoenix today and tried the new chicken and waffles appetizer. Delicious! There’s awesome additional menu items with lots to choose from! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Awesome Service especially if it’s our amazing waitress Nicole! Breakfast was also great. Thank you Nicole in these days excellent customer service is hard to find and I also it’s not an easy job! Thanks again for a wonderful experience.“

“You can't really go wrong here. Service is always on point, the food is really good, there is a wide array of selections and thr portions are generous.For a chain restaurant, it doesn't really feel like it.My go to is the tonion, 7 pepper sirloin salad, and chowder. I really like ALL the options. So hard to pick just 1 meal.“

“We want to thank your team at the Portuguese Club for putting on such a great event for our 80th Birthday event! We were extremely impressed with the beautiful venue, food, and decorations! The Portuguese Club has an absolute gem of a facility and staff that made us feel welcome on this special day. Again, a million thanks to everyone for putting on a very successful event!“

“We've been going here sporadically for years now and this place never fails! Food is always delicious, service is consistently amazing and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. My husband's favorite dish is the buffalo chicken tenders. I do enjoy the fried chicken dinner...such a classic! JP's is definitely a hidden gem for sure - if you have the opportunity to go there or order take out, I highly recommend it!Dietary restrictions: They take my (and others) allergies seriously.Parking: Plenty of spots. Big plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids will definitely enjoy snacking on the popcorn and find something yummy to eatWheelchair accessibility: Ground level.“

“Cozy outdoor courtyard with a stage area, friendly and attentive staff and management, we hope to play here again in the fall.“

“Always try to stop in when iam in the area welcoming atmosphere i haven't had a chance to drop by in the summer months but for sure I want to check out the outside seating this summerParking: Love pulling by bike around the side parking lot VIP section ha ha“

“First time visiting Bennie’s. I liked the neighborhood atmosphere. Yes it’s small and old but I felt that if I went more often ‘Everyone would know my name’.My husband and I ordered nachos. So good. I only wished there was more salsa served with them. We paid extra for the chicken and it was worth it.I had a glass of Josh Chardonnay and my husband had a Bud on draft.Table could have been cleaned better but I never asked them to re clean it.I definitely would go back. Would like to try some sandwiches or meals.Parking: First come first serve. Located in a plaza. We had no problem on a Sunday afternoon.“

“This is a renovated labor of love and some details revitalizing the defunct Steak Loft. I have to agree with one of the other yelpers, that the ambiance is odd, not off putting, but while so much effort went into the architecture, the paintings and ornaments are really cheesy. So if you go by "first impressions" you will be seriously confused. But that part ends there, because you don't eat the decor, do you? With a name like "The Cellar, etc." you would expect a great wine offering. And wine is a very personal journey. I can only imagine it represents what the owners think memorable wines/approachable wines should be. THAT was my biggest disappointment. The wine list is - meh -. BUT I hear the bar and cocktails are well made. Judging by how loaded the bar was - let's say it's safe to assume they serve great drinks! ALL servers are smiling and moving around like gazelles, taking care of people with a smile and home-town welcome feel. Our server, Kathrine, was a delightful doll who aimed to please and had GREAT recommendations. As for the food? Not bad at all! They start off with GOOD BREAD (YAY!) and butter. Not a shabby start. We sampled the gooey, fatty and oh so flavorful crab dip. This stuff is so rich, it is a cure for a hangover. If you are going to drink - you want to nosh on this puppy. At Katherines recommendation, we went with one of their signature dishes that included a 12 onz NY strip, crowned with bay scallops, stuffing, a sauce. With 2 sides. We picked the asparragus and fingerling potatoes. $38 - not bad. The food was all very well seasoned, the steak was perfectly rare and not black-and-blue, the scallops were not ping pong rubber balls, and nothing was swimming in grease. In a nutshell? Good food. We were happy. Old school italian-american-ISH, steakhouse-ish neighborhood watering hole with something for everyone in the family - except people with food allergies. C'mon people. CALL AHEAD OF TIME and don't penalize a restaurant that put so much money and effort into the establishment because they can't cater to your health needs. JUST CALL AHEAD and if it can't be accommodated - move on or stay home. For the rest of the locals - enjoy. The people are lovely, the place is super clean (cheesy but clean - cmon owners, take some nice photos of cellars and landscape and blow them up, frame them and burn the BAD artwork from the walls! You will round it out by adding some less cheese to the otherwise beautiful walls!)“

“Stopped in on a Friday afternoon . We ordered two beers which were ice cold! We ordered a cheeseburger with mushrooms and French fries , and a small eggplant sub , didn't want fries but wasn't told it come with onion rings too. Our food was delicious, waitress friendly . Too bad the place looks like a dive and the parking lot is a mess .“

“Food was alright, service was very slow. First time here, probably won’t return“

“Our 1st visit...won't be our last. Our server was Sarah...FABULOUS young lady. The meals were delicious. Baked Haddock made MIL very happy as it was the best she has ever had AnYwHeRe. I absolutely encourage people to try this place if they haven't already. Spacious dining area, not loud echoes like other 'factory' sites. Food is great.“
