31 Best American Restaurants near Solon

“Stopped in mid afternoon for an early dinner on our way home. We had never been to any of thenBig Groves! We tried the 7 oz Boomtown and a 7 oz Iowa City ? .... Boomtown for the win! Very tasty! We really liked the Boomtown! We decided to order three starters and share them, we were so curious! Started out with the big soft pretzel......it was superb! Both the cheese sauce and the mustard were delicious. A+. Next we tried the Mac and cheese. Lots of creamy sauce, needed a little more cheesy goodness. B Lastly we tried the TaterTot Casserole. Um, we'll, we didn't like it. The tots were super hard, like over cooked, the burger below was kinda bland. C The service was excellent, our waitress even brought us a gift to take home, BOOMTOWN! The beer was great, and the atmosphere was really nice. Now we have to try the Iowa City one!“

“Great place to eat. Friendly staff. We ate breakfast this morning, and had a small issue. The manager came right over to see what she could do to make it right. I highly recommend this restaurant if your ever in Solon they have something for everyone.“

“The classic burger, the fries, and the shakes are all wonderful. The tenders were not what I expected. They were very small as compared to the ones I used to order back home, but the quality and flavor were great. Customer service is top-notch and served with a smile! The atmosphere is so comfy, upbeat, and clean! I love this place!“

“This place has been a staple in the iowa city area as long as I can remember. It's the kind of bar where, if you're local you'll know someone there. Juke box, pool, arcade games. The staff is always friendly and fast. Always a good time!Kid-friendliness: Tables and a kids menu“

“Ben & Maddie took care of us. Our party had a flight of espresso martinis and each one got better. I recommend the Caramel Espresso Martini, it’s the best i’ve had so far.I think i can feel my heart fluttering and that might be strictly from their personality and hospitality.it’s the granite counter tops.“

“This place is a staple for me. Huge tap selection and great menu selection. Great place for a group that can't decide on a specific restaurant. Good for meal or just drinks. They have a decent amount of tvs too in case you need to watch the game.“

“Really nice food, pizza is amazing.Just wanted to make a note that when I ordered from Door Dash the food was tampered with and one of the pieces of pizza was removed from the box before I received it.I doubt it left the restaurant this way.Door Dash is not much help.Drivers name is Simon.“

“I had the regular burger served on a brioche bun, homemade pickles and a special sauce. It was delicious. The French fries are the best I've had, with a crisp seasoned coating, I'm not a fry person, but loved these. Great atmosphere.“

“I finally got time to stop for lunch today. Amazing. Service was quick. The sweet tea was good, and the tenderloin and fries were smoking hot and came out fast. I'm not a cole slaw guy, but it was good. Totally awesome. But if you're not really hungry, get the smaller sandwich. I finished the large, but I shouldn't have. ;)“

“I’m always looking for a review that actually tells you something. Not just, food was good! Polite staff… you know what I mean…. So, here we go.We were greeted when we walked in the door! Wow! Friendly and very attentive staff. They have a good selection of beer on tap including IPA’s. Nice and cold in a chilled true pint. Bravo! We ordered the “All you can eat shrimp” and Tenderloin. The shrimp is butterflied and nicely breaded. Comes with fries and coleslaw. I try to stay away from fried food, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not greasy at all. The shrimp was perfect. Flavor, texture and presentation. They serve in tin pie plates, which I found as a nice change from the typical plastic baskets with a paper liner beneath. My husband ordered the tenderloin. In his opinion, the best he’s had anywhere (with the exception of my own hand breaded pork loin)… The service was exceptional. Skylar was prompt in seeing that our drinks were filled and the shrimp kept a coming. We left, comfortably full. And not to forget…Karaoke every other Friday with Mike! And he starts up at 7pm. We will definitely go back. Odie’s is easy to find and only about 10-15 minutes from Cedar Rapids.Parking: There is parking right in front on both sides of the street. Pretty much like any small town bar and grill.“

“Almost 30 craft beers on tap! Food was great, and it was a lot of food! Service was amazing! A really helpful server. The place was clean and fun too. Only bummer was they ran out of my beer and instead of a 10oz pour I got 5oz. But it was sooooo amazing. The highlight of my drinking day a boozy imperial stout“

“The food, service, and ambiance is absolutely what makes Webster a standout in Iowa city for impressing family/friends who are visiting. They have also done some personal stuff for our birthday events as well and you can truly tell the staff are passionate about the food there and know their stuff. If there’s one place that I would recommend as a staple; this is it. My recommended dish is always the tartare, chicken, and the potato salad“

“Got 1 dozen chocolate and birthday cake and 1 dozen of gluten free red velvet and got compliments on all! Wouldn’t even be able to tell that the gluten free were gluten free. Will definitely be coming back for more in the future! Also, great customer service to top it all off!!“

“Just got a coffee at the drive up window, was pleasantly surprised by the adult server, greeted me with a smile had my order out quickly with a nice pleasant little chat.Radically different than the slack-jawed teenage lobotomies that work at DD across the street!Keep up the good work guys!“

“First time visiting Iowa. Wilson's is a lovely place to have lunch and sit and chat with friends. The service was great and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy; super flavorful with a little bit of spice. The potatoes were nice and crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Can't wait to go back!“

“Definitely a neighborhood pub. All the patrons seemed to know each other and it was nice overhearing some of the joyful conversations.The food was fantastic. The tenderloin and burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly, and my son loved the potstickers. We will definitely go back next time we're in Mt. Vernon!“

“I've eaten here several times, and the food is always excellent. Most recently, we dined in on a Monday, which is their burger special night. We just happened to hit happy hour as well, so I was expecting a bigger bill. So, I just put a little more in their tip.Burgers are great, drinks are cold, service is wonderful. I substitute the potatoe salad for French fries, and it's really good.I would recommend this place 11 times out of 10 over that 5 Guys place, especially on a Monday. Their burgers are way better! And you can even have an adult beverage with it!Anyone traveling along I-80 should stop here for a burger. Especially if it's a Monday.Parking: There is plenty of parking, but there isn't really a place for truckers trucks hauling/pulling a trailer. So that kind of sucks.“

“To my suprise, it was quite good. I had their BLT, and their bacon was very high quality and crispy, I enjoyed their aoili on it as well. Fries were super crispy, salty and hot- the perfect combo. Only 4 stars because their hot cocoa was pretty sub par- it looked pretty but it was just hot milk with hersheys syrup, just not for me. Would visit again!Kid-friendliness: Many seating options and great coloring supplies for kiddos!“

“Small restaurant with great food and service. I ordered the hamburger of the month with smoked gouda and onion bacon jam. It was delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance has 2 cement steps before the door with no railing. The door is at a sharp angle and narrow.“

“What an amazing place. The owners and staff are super friendly and make you feel at home. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, topped with a white gravy... absolutely fantastic flavor... just like Grandma used to make. Comfort food. I am not a big drinker. While they do not serve hard alcohol, they do have a good variety of beer and other spirits. I would highly recommend stopping in if you're ever in the mood to find great food and even greater people!“

“A pleasant experience and good food. I had the Philly Chees Steak with onion rings. The rings are some of the best I've had. Great portions and flavors. The meat in the cheese steak was a little dry but extra cheese would have solved that.“

“Great place for a rest from cruising the river. Nice playground for the kids, good hamburgers and salads to meet everyone's tastes. Very friendly staff and quick service. The burgers had just the right toppings.Kid-friendliness: Playground and sand toys entertained the kids while we rested.Parking: Free parking for boats with ample boat slips.“

“The bartender Sam Donath provided me with one of the best experiences I have ever had at a bar in my entire life. He provided great conversation kept the drinks flowing and had a very positive and outgoing attitude altogether this was a great experience I highly recommend.“

“From California and since time change we were hungry and it was late. Good thing Texas Roadhouse closes later than most restaurants.This restaurant closes at 10pm unlike in CA, which closes at 11pm. So we only had an hour before closing.Anyhow, I ordered a salad and a size of grilled shrimp. A simple order that didn’t taste simple. It was refreshing and filling. ?? my daughter ordered Andy’s (forgot what’s it’s called). Hers came out cooked to her liking and she was satisfied with the food.Server was on point and kind.I plan on going back before we head back to Ca.“

“The food was amazing took my parents there when they were in town. Yet another restaurant that makes everything from scratch. Service was top notch. The restaurant participates in team service so you never really want for anything. The atmosphere was above and beyond. Super cool architecture. Really awesome space to dine and spend time with your friends and family. We noticed that they offer a brunch menu on the weekends. This place knows what they're doing!!“

“Ordered Ribeye and loaded potato.Cooked to my preference,loaded potato was really good,almost ordered one to go. Steak was very delicious,hardly ever do I clean my plate but it all tasted really good. Service was really good. Drinks kept full and had an awesome waitress. Defiantly above and beyond service!Parking: No fault of the restaurant but seemed a little winding finding the way into the lot. Went a round the hotel next door. Defiantly a city planning problem but is typical with modern developments.“

“I would say the Union Jack is my favorite pizza in Iowa City. After saying this I like the hybrid not quite deep dish style. Their thin crust is good but doesn't compete with Pagliai's. Other than that good service and good atmosphere for a pizza place.“

“I was with a large party tonight. Reservations had been made, and we were granted our request to sit near a big screen tv. Love our Iowa Women's basketball! My meal was $16 and larger than I'd imagined (grilled pork loin sandwich). Hot, crisp fries. The pork was tender and not greasy. Fresh lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes.I can't have alcohol and ordered a virgin drink. The server suggested half piña colada, half strawberry daiquiri. I ordered 2 and should have asked if they would still charge $12 each. They did. Lesson learned.While at Tavern Blue, the owner came out and visited with us. He took a photo of our table ( with our permission, of course) in honor of it being International Women's Day. A very nice guy! What else? The women's restroom was very clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend Tavern Blue!Kid-friendliness: There is miniture golf, a giant Connect Four game, a jetski for kids to pose and play on... check out the photos!Wheelchair accessibility: Very spacious seating that allows for many different configurations of tables and chairs. The owner and servers were very friendly and I'm sure that would make accommodations.“

“Our drinks were crafted by a gentleman named Richard. He made a great old fashion. The late night menu was nice to see, however, the kitchen did subpar on delivery. We orderedrd the chip and dip trio type of thing and it looked like we got the end of the chip bag.“

“Love this place for a hotel-bar kinda spot this place has some of the best food in town. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good dining experience. Reasonable prices, great food and knowledgeable staff make for a great spot out of the college student main stream.“

“Getting older...just 2 of us....bake or use a skillet to cook a Naomi's tasty entree in about 30 min., make a salad, and dinner is served. The light meals for two are just right for us. Good variety, and did I say tasty? Convenient and cheaper than restaurants.“
