12 Best American Restaurants in Galena

“The filet mignon with asparagus was delicious! Even though the first ones brought to our table were overdone, they happily replaced them with properly cooked ones. The crème brûlée was out of this world. The atmosphere was romantic and we loved our quiet table in the corner which overlooked the street below. The perfect evening!“

“10 out of 10 recommend! Quaint little spot with big flavors! I had the Corned beef sandwich and it was one of the best I've ever had. The meat was so tender and lean and the roll was about as soft as it gets. I can't wait to go back!“

“Ate at Charlie’s Place for the first time today. I had the gyro skillet and it was delicious! So much gyro meat and other toppings, plus delicious tziki sauce! Worth every penny, and great service too. Great addition for breakfast in Galena!“

“Not only was the atmosphere inviting but the staff as well. Much doesn’t beat being pampered for brunch. The lox and pop tart were next to none. You owe it to yourself to add a cinnamon roll to the table’s enjoyment as well! Fabulous. Anticipating our next visit already.“

“The food and staff are outstanding. The hostess and our waitress were extremely pleasant and helpful. I had the Italian beef and my wife had the Sloppy Joe. Mine was very good. Hers was epic. Also highly recommend the boozy shakes. This place is a must-eat-here.“

“very nice venue. it would most probably have had a nice ambience if we did not have the unfortunate incidence of having a group of loud obnoxious people (the type of people it would be nice to see turned away) get there right before us. What ever happened to dressing for dinner, or dress codes for fine dining? This is one of those laces that would really be nice if it had one. you pay for the experience, and that experience is lessened by those individuals that do not/ cannot act civilized, let alone respectable.“

“My wife enjoyed the seafood special The salmon on the menu was not as good. The Poblano Purée was kind of spicy to go with salmon and the plantain thing was dry and not very tasty. Our server Chris was excellent as always. I wish there was more than one seafood dish on the menu.“

“I had an excellent experience at Culvers in Galena. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with a warm hello, and as I left, they thanked me for coming in.The place was packed and this team worked efficiently to serve every customer, and the cheerful atmosphere was contagious. My food was exactly as I had requested, and it was delicious. Thanks to this team of dedicated and friendly individuals for providing such a positive experience.“

“On Feb 2nd we went there for dinner with our two kids. Our son has an allergy so we called ahead to make sure they could accommodate his dietary needs. The lady answering the phone and the guy who waited on us were great. They took our sons allergies very seriously and the cooks made our sons meal special to avoid any issues. We really appreciate the extra care they took.“

“Love this place very much. The food is awesome. The wait staff is usually excellent but tonight not so good. Had Mariat as our waitress. She took our order and we had to wait for quite a while for our food and we saw her again when the bill came. I will still come here but will sit in a different section.“

“Our 1st visit to Highlands. The server was great, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. We had appetizers, sandwiches and drinks. Everything was tasty. The outdoor patio deck provides a perfect view of the golf course/countryside. The large floor to ceiling windows allow the same lovely view from inside the restaurant as well. We will definitely visit again.“

“Nice place - good food…had a few things… ordered chips & salsa… very tasty but only a few tablespoons of delicious salsa came with it- charged $1 for very small amount extra salsa… will go again but probably won’t get chips & salsa again…“
