37 Best American Restaurants in Decatur

“Great food with the hard working and dedicated staff. Keep up the great service!!!“

“Food is decent, not exceptional. A bit overpriced for what it is.“

“We were in Decatur for a sale at the Glass House. They highly recommended we come here for dinner. So glad they did, the chicken was hot and delicious, the beer was cold, and oh my goodness the cheesy potatoes were to die for. The service was just as good!“

“Best wings I've ever had“

“In Decatur for the first time and checked out TapRoot. Thanks to Kaytlyn H for making a great experience. The food was great. Top notch Manhattan and Bloody Mary. Thanks again for the wonderful service.“

“On our recent visit the food was very good and the service was great. We are a bit disappointed that bread is no longer available and neither are baked potatoes apparently. However the salmon and sirloin steak were delicious and we will return.“

“Ate here for the first time tonight and I was highly impressed. Trying to find a place to eat in a new area is always a challenge but Diamonds DID NOT disappoint!!! Leah was an awesome server and made our experience even more enjoyable. Food was delicious and came out fast! We will definitely eat here when we come back into town!“

“This was the very first Culver's we went to. Our son lives in Maroa, which is north of Decatur. We were really glad when one was built in a town only 12 miles away from our town. We live in the southern part of Illinois and it is around 3 hour drive when we visit our son and his family.

Parking: There are quite a few spots for parking, but of course this is a busy place in a larger town, so sometimes it may be hard to find a spot, but food is worth the wait.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicapped parking spots. I hate to see when people who don't need them use them because they are too lazy to walk from the side of the building to the entrance.“

“This was our first time here. To the point, service was not the quickest but there was only 1 server and a cook that I could see. Server was nice and took good care of us. Took our order, brought drinks, did refills, etc., in a timely manner. Food was hot, good and plenty of it. Not fancy, good homecooked food and you don't have to do the dishes! Servings could have been 2 meals but I was hungry!😆 We had omelets, pancakes, French toast 😋. When you're riding down Main St., in Decatur, Il stop and try this local spot.“

“We held a work party in the back room. The weather was great so we were able to open the doors in the back and be outside. The food was amazing, pricing was very reasonable for the amount of people we had, and the touch tunes machine in the back room was great for music.“

“Just had my first experience, great food buffalo fries, Chicago dog fantastic and the cake ball😍“

“Best, and only true, Maxwell Street polish in town!“

“We had the most excellent experience at Cracker Barrel Decatur, IL. Upon entry we were greeted in a kind manner. Once we were seated our server Cameron M was extremely friendly and offered right away to get us something to drink. After she brought our drinks to the table she made sure we were ready to order and was very knowledgeable about menu items. She gave recommendations, offered add on such as cheese with our eggs and read our order back to us to ensure it was correct. She checked on us between the time we ordered and when the food was brought to the table and made sure we had plenty to drink. Our food arrived at the table hot and delicious. She’s was so courteous from start to finish and we will definitely be coming back due to her hospitality! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We've been there now 3 times in about a month. All at breakfast, different hours. Food was always fast , coffee good, and plentiful proportions. We both always leave with leftovers. Today was 16$ . 4% off just for paying with cash. Good Job New Moon. You've caught my attention ❤️“

“Ordered the 60z steak that they charged $45.00. Half the steak was all fat. Orders grilled shrimp on side they was not cooked from inside still cold inside must have taken en it out of freezer n dropped in pan. They must not have had a chef since did not know that the $45.00 6oz steak was all fat n maybe had like 3bites might as well go to Macdonald nasty steak for such high price“

“On the corner of Jasper n Wood, I got the lamb over rice w shrimp egg rolls, it was better than good, and my man’s n nem who whipped it up was great customer service goals! I need the fish next time I come back thru, hope my cuz won a bag cuz they got games in the back too.“

“From the appetizer to main course the food was fantastic and the waitress was superb. The spinach artichoke was some of the best we’ve ever had, we both ordered the Delmonico steaks were cooked to perfection, don’t let the prices scare you worth every penny. This restaurant rivals any from our home state of Arkansas“

“As a bar this place is pretty decent, usually a very laid back crowd. For breakfast tho, this place is awesome. I was hesitant at first to go to a bar for Saturday morning breakfast. But it was great, food was fantastic. Service was slightly lacking, it wasn’t too busy I just think staff was short. Not sure. But wasn’t great, however the food made up for it. Great place go give it a shot.“

“Had the chicken liver appetizer (wonderful), the catfish sandwich, and the bourbon horseshoe with hamburger (all wonderful). The bourbon horseshoe was especially good. Never had the combination before so I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful flavors! We would go back in a heartbeat! We took or fur babies and sat on the patio. Also had drinks so that added to the bill.“

Hey everyone! So I’m in Decatur checking out the nightlife and stumbled across PortRoyal Gastropub—and let me tell you, don’t let those Google photos fool you! I almost skipped it, but wow, I’m so glad I didn’t. I stopped in, chatted with Elizabeth, and ended up booking a table for their Halloween Drag Show—what an absolute blast! 🎃👠

This place is such a hidden gem! The food? Fantastic. The service? Top-tier. The entertainment? Off the charts! From start to finish, the whole vibe is friendly, fun, and full of great energy. If you’re looking for an awesome night out in Decatur, this is the spot. Don’t miss it! 🍸✨also ask for Jay if you come at night, super amazing guy!!!“

“I usually love my food I get but today I was not happy.“

“Felt strange order from a kiosk, and nobody says nothing till they call your number , food rocked and was a little loud , but it was after school time when I was there,and it's a hit or miss when I go for there for my lunch break dinner at 11:30 pm sometimes open sometimes closed“

“Always good food.any time of day or night“
