37 Best American Restaurants in Decatur

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“They were super busy when we arrived at the restaurant, and there was a line, so it took a little while to be seated. We were so hungry since we had just finished the Prairie Pedal Ride at Rock Springs. We had a very friendly waitress that kept our mugs full while we waited for our food.

Parking: We parked in the parking lot that is facing the restaurant.“

“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.“

“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.“

Have so much to offer & The owners aren’t easy to pick out because they are definitely humbled & Beautiful inside & outside, They are a grounded couple who mix & mingle with their customers & They work just as hard/ If not harder than their staff. Love’em both! ?“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food and great people“

“Awesome place for food, fun and adult beverages. Live music on weekends, food & drink specials on most days, friendly employees and great people.“

“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.“

“Tasteys always has amazing food and customer service! Kylah is the best! She's our favorite girl!“

“We recently had a group of about 35. The food was delicious and staff were absolutely amazing! Prices are excellent and they were very accommodating in every aspect! I would highly recommend! Hopefully this will be our new family partying spot!“

“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“

“I highly recommend biggens to anyone who wants to eat or even shoot a friendly game of pool or even have a drink, it is the most layed back friendliest place in Decatur and the staff and owners are absolutely amazing!!“

“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“

“Have had the tier 1 pork nachos twice & they were incredible. Unlike any other nachos I’ve ever had. True small local business. Very cozy atmosphere too. Melissa, one of the owners, is very sweet & down to earth. A must stop place if your in Decatur area !“

“Friendly, great customer service!!! The food is cooked to order - hot and fresh!!! Those Fried Potatoes 🔥🔥🔥 highly recommend 10/10“

“I had the Chicken Shawarma today and it was delicious 😋 reminds me of my second home🇩🇿“

“Had a very nice Ribeye steak dinner this evening at The Sport Zone. We also sampled the Rib Tips. On Mondays they have Rib Tips and Fries for $5 and they are very good. Everything was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was great.“

“I love they have a classy restaurant but affordable prices. The food is amazing and everyone is so nice. When Im in town I make reservations. Its a must“

“Food was great and so was the service ! Toilet was a little small though !“

“The food here was so good. It was lunch time but i went for the all day breakfast. The portion sizes were huge, so i ended up taking a take home box with me. I love trying new locally owned places like Gabby's because it always feels like home. And this place was no different. The staff that works here were so friendly and easy to chat with. The dinner had a warm atmosphere and was clean. And in the back of the dinner there a hidden bonus for anyone who likes to play the slots, because they have a room just for that. So while you wait for your food, you can slip on back to the slot machines and win a few extra bucks like i did. So if you want a good home cooked meal, whether it be breakfast lunch or dinner this would be the perfect spot if you're in the Decatur area. I will definitely be stopping here again on my next trip to Decatur.“

“Go there for karaoke on Tuesdays and some days, Thursdays. Drink specials are pretty decent and the scene is pretty chill overall. The food is really good and the patio is absolutely fantastic for so many reasons. Definitely recommend for a local night out, damn good time

9.5/10 shots“

“Great food, bartenders and wait staff are quick to respond. I give 4 stars“

“So the food is good, not over the top, or like you gotta go try it!! It’s like if you want decent food or want to try a new place. Sure come here give this place a shot. Service was well….. service. They were friendly, got us what we needed and not much else. Atmosphere It’s dim, and cramped. Do I recommend, well if you want something new give it shot.“

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

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

“The food was great! My fries were hot. The atmosphere was ok. Wasn't many in there.
Let's talk about the service.... having g to order on the kiosk is horrible. I'm at least a little tech savy, and still had a difficult time with placing my order. But some people, especially older ones might not be able to figure out how place their order at all. I gave service 3 because the lady there was very sweet and kind and helped me maneuver around it.“
