24 Best American Restaurants near Charlestown

“I recently moved to area. It's hard to find a regular family style restaurant these days. I had to go to post office and spotted the this place. I had the double thick cheese burger with French fries. It was very good. I have been back one more time since then and had the same thing. It's so tasty I just can't get past it. The service is good. I love that it's old looking inside. It gives it that Mayberry look. It's cool that they have pictures of service men on the walls. Price was ok. Everything cost a lot these days. It won't break the bank but it's not cheap. Still, I think it is worth the money. I will definitely be back. Maybe some day I will have something besides the Cheeseburger. LOL“

“Out of towners trying this breakfast/brunch restaurant out for the first time! outside atmosphere was adorable and gives a feel of "home". Patio seating and seats outside under a tent, where the outside bar is! The wait time was about 45 mins for a table, but that was perfectly okay because of the outside bar and porch to wait! cornhole, table jenga, and connect 4 games were also outside, so there are things to do while you wait. the food is spectacular. Try their homemade jams and hot sauce! You won't be disappointed! Service was excellent. We sat at the bar, bartender was great (Jasmine), and the wait time for our food was under 10 mins. I ordered the BIG BAD BISCUIT - Make sure you have room in your belly because the portions are extremely generous! I could only eat half of the biscuit! Very clean, "homey", and just an overall wonderful experience. Great Job!“

“Beautiful restaurant! Delicious food is always thought out by the talented kitchen staff. The service is top quality as the servers have a great personality and care about their customers. Definitely try a cocktail or 2 or 3... They offer a variety of beers and delicious cocktails.“

“Our daughters took us to this restaurant today bc they had their first experience a couple weeks ago and it was awesome. My husband and I are burger freaks searching for that elusive perfect burger. Many places and burgers later we came to this restaurant. Omgosh! We found 3 things here at Bubba's. Exceptional staff exceptional atmosphere and to our surprise the PERFECT Angus burger!! It was hot tender juicy and full of flavor! Fries great and the Mac and cheese best I ever had! Not only that but the menu variety is fantastic. Our server Kevin was over the top excellent. He equally matched the great burger! We were wowed and absolutely will make this our weekly restaurant! Everyone friendly sincere and respectful. Yes we found our new hang out! We even got gift cards for free appetizers from the house manager because we were first timers! Thanks Bubba's! Making it great! See ya next week!“

“Our volleyball team met up at First Watch for a team brunch. The food and service was excellent! Thank you for hosting our team. We wished they had more staff that could have enhanced our dining experience a bit more and had the option to eat on the patio.“

“First time here after hearing good things, satay the bar, and couldn’t have had a better experience all thanks to our bartender, Karla! Super attentive and professional but with a personal touch. Her energy kept us a little longer than we planned so we’re looking forward to coming back next time she’s working!!“

“In the area visiting family and we’re trying local restaurants. There were many options to choose . Food was served quickly . It was hot and cooked the way it was ordered. Quality food at reasonable prices. A good solid breakfast. Service was also on point. A win for this traveler!“

“We celebrated our anniversary there tonight and received excellent service, and the food was beyond wonderful. Kevin, our waiter was great! We also loved to see that they employee individuals with special needs as we have a son with Down Syndrome. Definitely will be back soon.“

“First time here and I’m local, placed a take out order of the fried chicken and had a peerless manhattan at bar while I waited…extra cherries. Service was attentive and cordial. Ended up diving head first into the meal in my car while I remained parked…it was that good, haha. Will be back soon…“

“We’ve visited Barn 8 a couple times now. Overall, it’s a cool experience and a unique atmosphere. It’s nice to get out of the city and try something new. There’s a nice variety of dishes and everything was really flavorful. The desserts were amazing! Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because everyone in my party chose different dishes and the portion sizes vary from dish to dish even though they were all from the bottom-half of the menu which are supposedly the entrees. Maybe that’s on us for not checking with the waiter first on portion sizes. Other than that, everything was great and our waiter was very kind. Great experience for special occasions, but not somewhere I would visit too often.“

“I was driving to the bank and noticed this restaurant. I stopped and walked into a nice room with plenty of staff that took care of us immediately. The room had wood laminate floors and wood on the wall that resembled a high end club look. Our waitress appeared immediately and was very nice. There is a cake shop in the dinning room that sale's homemade cake and pies. For dinner we ate a cod sandwich and meatloaf with mash potatoes and green beans. Food was good and I will return“

“Chill Gene from the Kentucky State Capitol at Frankfort recommended this place to me - he specifically recommended the fish sandwich. I am very well traveled and this is the best fish sandwich I have had. Nice local place with classic Southern hospitality. I love Kentucky!!!!“

“I am writing this to share my experience due to my server. I believe her name was Lilian or Lilith. She was absolutely AMAZING. I actually stopped coming due to the service, but she absolutely has a repeat customer. She gave me hope in this place again.“

“As this place is right up the road from me. I have eaten here multiple times and it never disappoints. Nice location right off Hwy 62. It has an outside & inside eating area and a nice bar area. Service has always been great. The staff have always been friendly and prompt. The Philly cheesesteak is really good and what I normally order, if I not in the mood for anything particular. The cheese balls are fantastic and I have ordered those, my wife the fish sandwich (that she loves) and we split. The fries are always perfect. On Fat Tuesday they had a shrimp po boy, which was on point and I would not be disappointed if it made it on the regular menu.“

“Mac’s Hideaway, is the Cheers of New Albany, IN. You walk in enough, everyone knows your name. Bartender’s are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Good mix of entertainment throughout the week, from bands, trivia, and karaoke. Food always hits the spot, especially the fish and shrimp! If you haven’t checked them out, you should!“

“This is my first time here and I will be back! The Flo Filet is the most tender steak I have ever had, it melted in my mouth. My daughter's said the Mac and cheese was the best they've ever had. Excellent portion size for value! Hannah was our server and she was sweet and efficient! White cheddar mushrooms, spicy chicken and street corn were also amazing!“

“We were on vacation and starving so we pulled up restaurants nearby and this was a spur of the moment choice. Needless to say it did not disappoint. We very lucky and got a table in the bar area as they were booked with reservations. We started with the shrimp cocktail which was so good. The shrimp were ice cold and the cocktail sauce was perfect. We opted to share the New York Strip which was topped with fried onions, and our sides of scratch made collards and mashed potatoes. They plated our steaks and sides on two different plates before bringing our food to the table. This was by far some of the best food we had on this trip. We finished up with MOLTEN CHOCOLATE BOMBE which is a ‍Chocolate cake with a warm liquid chocolate center, with vanilla ice cream and we opted to have it "loaded" with peanut butter, bacon, and whipped cream. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The ambiance was very nice. As I said, we sat in the bar area but it was still very quiet and it's a quaint little restaurant. The server was stellar. If you're ever in Prospect Kentucky, do not miss this spot.“

“This location is the very first Texas Roadhouse and it’s also the best. It’s the only one in the area that opens at 11:00AM every day. It’s loud inside and that’s why only 4 stars for atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Best salad in town.Parking: Parking lot is part of the GreenTree Mall located on the Southwest side of the mall.“

“Get your refillable drink free if you're there at 1 PM. If your senior your meal cost a little over $10. So I ate couple of salads, butterfly shrimp, and lots of other foods for a little over 10 bucks! You can't beat that, a refillable salad bar! My tummy was so full… the person that feels your glassing keep your table clear is very nice, so don't forget to give Weight staff a tip! My overall cost was $22 plus a six dollar tip!“

“I haven't figured out why but the ice cream at Sellersburg is different than other Chillers / Zestos we have gone to. The ice cream is just better in my opinion. The staff is always friendly even when they are understaffed. Always have had a great experience here. Our dog also gives it 2 paws up, she loves her pup cup.“

“Have been here many times. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the last time we were there everything was WAY over seasoned. Generally everything is perfect, good food and drinks. I'd still recommend this place to anyone and I'll still be a return customer.“

“The food at this restaurant is very good, but we go for the experience of eating outdoors with a view of the river. The service is always fast and friendly. Just having a drink and an appetizer like their fried banana peppers is delightful on a sunny day in the spring time.“

“A friend and I played this course for the first time. First Impression was this course was beautiful. Very nice layed out. It wasn't a very difficult course pretty much wide open and the greens were the fastest I have ever played. If you play the white tee's you will only hit over water once. The only thing I could say bad about this course was that some of the tee boxes were in really bad shape however that didn't really hurt your game. Over all we really enjoyed the course and will be coming back.“

“I'll stop in there all the time to get a milkshake.They have a daily special, it's something different everyday, one day it's meatloaf and mashed potatoes, another day it's their amazing homemade barbecue and french fries.Fridays they have two piece fish and two sides for $9.Hard to beat that deal for Friday night meal.Kid-friendliness: They have hamburgers, hot dogs and french fries and onion rings for kids.“
