47 Best American Restaurants near Afton

“We ate at Current for their Thanksgiving Buffet and overall we were very happy. Good food options, delicious desserts and we could order from the bar. Our server was outstanding. We appreciated having a nice place to go to dinner for that day as our daughter worked at the hospital during the day and thank all the staff for their hard work. Kim“

“We had one of the most surprising, memorable evenings in years! Excellent food, pure joy!“

“Our first time there on Wednesday night. Service was excellent, Kendra was fantastic. The deviled eggs with shrimp was awesome The six of us all had something different from the scallops to the walleye to the salmon all fantastic. There was also dessert like bread pudding to banana cream pie, also fantastic. Can’t wait till our next dinning experience. It will be real soon!“

“Excellent service and friendly staff - the children's menu was broad in scope and they were in truth- family friendly. Adult meals were excellent as well with a wide selection of food and drinks, and reasonable pricing. The divided spaces made it very quiet throughout for the non-family adults and gave it a nice pub 'feel' for all.“

“We parked at one end of Hudson and walked the main strip looking for a new place to eat. We stumbled on Black Rooster ?, and it called to us. There's a steep flight of stairs leading you into the cool cave like atmosphere of the place.We had wine ? and smoked old fashioneds (yum) to start. We had the pan-roasted chicken breast ? and seared sea scallops, which were both amazing. The menu rotates, so who knows what we'll get next time (and there will be a next time).Parking: There are pay parking lots all along the main strip (pay only during specific hours).“

“Colleen was a great server. We felt the ease of accommodation at some of our requests. The food choices here keep you wanting to come back and try other things. And they also have some considerably healthy options as well. I left full but not feeling fully "greased" out by an overuse of oils and fats.“

“What a cute place! Lots of things to look at and Wow, the tea selection is huge! I met my sisters for breakfast and we had speedy and friendly service. Portobelo mushroom and bacon waffle got good reviews. Very tasty. The jalepeno and spicy sausage quiche got excellent reviews. Had a good kick! The scrambled eggs looked great and tasted good. Just a tiny bit on the dry side. The fresh fruit that came with our orders included orange and pineapple slices as well as a few green grapes. All were appropriately juicy and were refreshing. I had the masala chai tea (black) and that was good too. I would definitely come back and try items off lunch menu.“

“We have passed by Phil’s Tara for years, and always said “I really want to try that place”. Well, today we did, and it was simply divine. We don’t get out on date night often, but when we do, we want to try new things; oysters were our first endeavor. Out waiter, Jackson, gave us the entire 4-11 on exactly how to throughly enjoy oysters, and we ordered more after. Jackson truly made our experience one-of-a-kind.We fell in love with Phil’s Tara today, and we will be back again, and again.“

“You guys went over and above any expectations I had. We will definitely be back again and will be recommending LT around! The food was great and you more than made up for the mistakes made. Plus I think my husband is addicted to the bulgogi now.“

“This is a favorite of ours, ate here again tonight after picking our son up at the airport (home is Eau Claire). I love burgers, but there is a wonderful variety on the menu for everyone. And the sun was setting over the river to top it off!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families dining tonight, welcoming atmosphere“

“This is one of my favorite Culvers location. I always get great service, hot food, and a very clean restaurant. We live 3.5 hours aways, and always stop here when we're in the area. They also support the local schools and organizations with fund raisers.“

“A Good Neighborhood Sports Bar with a Great Menu and some off the menu items that are an awesome surprise, if you're lucky enough to get Pork chop on a stick night plan on having 3 that is what I usually do anyway, the walleye they have is as good as if I caught it and cleaned it then cooked it myself, that says allot because I can do that and find it hard to order that when I can do it myself but I think it is as good as mine! The crew is pretty good and you are not going to have to wait long for anything“

“Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon with my sister. She's not a huge burger person and she's been telling me how much she loves their burger here. I knew I had to try it. We started with spicy Bloody Mary.... Meal of champions. It was excellent. I ordered the cheeseburger and let me tell you, my sister wasn't kidding.... It was juicy, hot, and delicious. Fries were nice and hot. Next time, I'll ask for extra pickles. Small little dive bar. Lots of locals. Staff were very nice and friendly. You order your food at the window and it comes out quickly. There's a liquor store attached to the bar... that's pretty neat. I also stopped in here before a wedding in February for a few drinks before heading to the Lake Elmo Inn Event Center. Another good experience. If you're in the area or if you're in the mood for bar food, I highly suggest giving it a try. Prices are great too! WIN WIN in my book.“

“Amazing food and ambience.“

“Had the prime rib, seasoned perfectly and it was huge, close to 2 pounds easily. Ended up taking half of it home, cut that in half and cooked it up in the morning with eggs for the wife and I and took the remainder for lunch at work. Was it worth it, oh yeah!We will definitely be going back soon. Next will be a Friday night to check out the fish fry. If it is half as good as the prime rib it's gonna be great.Parking: The lot right in front of jonesys was really packed but their is a second lot right across the street with plenty of spaces.“

“We have never been to a Keys . My daughter got the omelet and said it was pretty good and to our delight when we were checking out we saw the gluten free cupcakes in the case. Of course we took a few home with us. This place was very busy.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free breads and pastries.Parking: Lots of parking spaceWheelchair accessibility: 1 level parking“

“Love this place! Great variety of drinks and food! Love the tap selection, Minnesota Dry Rub wings, Turkey Burger (or that you can create whatever kind of burger you like), friendly staff, and fun atmosphere. This is a great spot to go for a night with your friends, family, or date - it really has something for everyone.“

“My girlfriend and I recently checked out Post American Eatery for the first time and had an awesome experience! The atmosphere was really cool and relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My girlfriend ordered the Beef Ragu and loved it! The meat was super tender, and the sauce was just right. I went for the Prime Rib special, and it was delicious – cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server was great, too – really helpful and laid-back. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. If you're looking for a place with great food, a cool vibe, and excellent service, I'd highly recommend giving Post American Eatery a try. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back!“

“Finally made it across the river to Nova today. My visit left me in the state of "how many times were you told to get here... & kept saying...mehh... I will? Well today did not disappoint! I loved the small brunch cocktail menu, not overwhelming and some great options, the bloody with dill pickle ice was very tempting! I opted for the Knob Creek Colab Sour, it was delicious & not too sweet so I sucked it down in two sips! It paired perfectly w hanging out w buddies on the patio! I like that he patio had options of small square tables, round tables and picnic tables w umbrellas! There's a small parking lot, that if it's full you can easily park along the Coulee curb. Boomin Barbecue has residency and w the Libations for Everyone podcast recording today I opted for the Knob Creek burger, "Smoked & Seared Burger, American Cheese, Smoked Pork Belly, Bourbon Braised Onions, Pickles, Knob Creek Aioli on a Sesame Potato Bun". I'm sorry, correction: the DELICIOUS Knob Creek burger!!! The bar was comfortable and spacious, read: you weren't touching legs w the chair next to you. You can see the two bathrooms from the bar, they're not tucked away in some corner. I like that there is a garage door open to the spacious patio. I was able to have a few words w the friendly owner. I may have drug my feet to have my inaugural visit, but I am positive there will be no delay on my next visit. Thanks Nova for such a fun, comfortable and delicious afternoon, cheers!“

“We went tonight for the first time to hear a band my husband wanted to check out. I looked at the menu on their page and found something I could eat ( being gluten free sometimes menus are limited) but I ordered the trash can Nacho's and omg they were huge. Enough for 2-3 people. Beef chicken or carnitas. I did the chicken. There were so many flavors heaped on top, they were delicious.My husband had a hot roast beef dip sandwich and he said it had a bite and was awesome.Live music upstairs at 9pm. Earlier downstairs was a piano player and everyone sang along. Yes they did Billy Joel the piano man lol. It was a fun crowd, fun atmosphere and good food. We'll definitely go again.“

“Fun night at Muddy Cow Oak Parl Heights. Great food, great service!“

“Even though I put 5 ? for service - which I feel the waitress deserved - the restaurant needs to hire more than 1 waitress for such a large room - she was over tasked - even a buser to clear and set tables. I offered to wipe and clear ours - was told -"no need to wait." Could understand, but not also.“

“It’s not a landmark but it’s somewhat of an establishment for Hudson, WI. If it’s busy it’s really busy and that’s not very busy in the summer. In the winter and spring there are days that’s full. Workers are nice. Patrons I would say mixed. Some nice so not so nice. The food can be decent based on who’s cooking on the back. Overall it’s worth visiting and getting a drink.“

“I came here with my baby and dog for a quiet afternoon meal while on a road trip. The service was friendly and welcoming. I love that they are dog (and baby) friendly!! (There were 2 other dogs there during our visit, and even another baby.) The view of the St Croix River is beautiful, and the food was tasty. I really enjoyed the cranberry brie turkey sandwich.Kid-friendliness: I brought my baby and the server was very patient with us.“

“Barkers has always treated us well for a great bar food meal. They have the best wings in Hudson. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich is one of the best things on the menu as well though! Definitely give that a try if you’re undecided. Usually pretty busy on a weekend near dinner time. Dips are also very good!“

“I love it that they ask you want to purchase a Woodbury Days button.. Only $5.00.. I brought one today!! thank you for amazing friendly service in the drive thru!!!“

“Formerly Uncle Mike's, if you are unsure of the name change and location.My review is after eating there 3 times, once for steak night and twice for their fish.The food is the only reason I would return. The Fried fish which I chose over the broiled was done perfectly on both occasions. The sides of Coleslaw have always been warm and not flavorful, while the choice of tater tots always is done perfectly to my taste, Lightly crunchy.The seating and service are less than desirable, as on the last 2 occasions. The first one we were seated 20 minutes , while watching tables fill around us, and orders taken without anyone coming to our table. I made mentioned to a bus girl cleaning the table next to us, and she got the manager, who apologized for the over site. The restaurant was not overly busy at that time.We decided to give Friday night fish a second try, as the fish was done so well, and we always give things a second try. We didn't fair much better on the try. They were busy and a wait for tables, as the hostess told us on arrival , which we stated we were willing to wait for and would just stand there in queue for or table. No name taken from us or table pager given to us, or even mention a need for either from them . We stood there for 30 min waiting and watching tables empty, noticing staff chatting and taking turns hosting, I then mentioned as they were going to seat someone else, that we had been waiting. That prompted a ...your not on the list response from them. I explained that I was not asked for a name, and we were a mear 4ft from the hostess potum for the past 30 min. I will spare you the remaining poor service that ensued .Do I think the food is... Good...YES.and I will give it another Friday night try in the future and let you know how it goes.“

“Great tap list, fantastic food, and a chill environment.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere.Laelle our server was prompt, efficient and friendly. She was taking care of several tables, doing a top notch job. We had walleye sliders, fried perfectly topped with a slaw. Poutine was super cheesy goodness. The wild rice soup soooo good. The cheeseburger flat bread was spot on. Definitely worth a stop.Kid-friendliness: The kids loved eating out on the patio“

“My daughter and I stopped by this Saturday after a lovely 2 hour St. Croix cruise.The rooftop bar was inviting and comfortable, as we were able to snag a part of the couch!We enjoyed a couple of apps-cheese curds and pretzles with 2 different dipping sauces. They were both delightful!They have a great Mule selection. I had the bourbon Mule, and taking the bartender's suggestion, my daughter chose the prickly pear Mule. Both were great, really refreshing and was a perfect end to a great afternoon.We both agree we are coming back!Thanks Mallory's!“

“One of the nicest kept golf courses in the Twin Cites.“

“Good people nice atmosphere and the best part you are helping our veterans. I am a veteran but because they had the dates I couldn't join. But my dad Wes a veteran so I joined as a son of a veteran because he was a prisoner of war in Germany for around 17 month's and never talked about it and most of them didn't. 5 years after I got out is ask me if I thought I could handle some nasty stories I said what is it I want someone to keep the what the Germans did to us. I don't know but I will listen took 2 days. He told not to tell the girls. I will tell the pastor enough so they understood why I drank. It has taking me a long time to decide to tell.my nephews some pretty nasty stuff but I finally decided to like did ask the I think can handle some really nasty stories about his gramps. And if he says yes. It will up to him to tell the boys. He wanted to keep it alive so I decided I will tell every thing. But nothing to the girls. Then it up to him who he thinks can handle it dad wanted people to know so I have start asking my nephew you wants the job. And if the bayport legion would like me to talk about it I will give enough information so they understand how bad it was. Thank you Ed Noreen was my dad. Of course everyone in bayport had nick name so I got Ed. If the legion wants send flyer out I wood.like people to make donation to.legion and as many people or day's they want to but I would 90 percent to go to disabled veteran group that will help the vetrans. I got poisoned and some other things buy they said I don't qualify for it. So basically forgot about it. A friend told me to go to vfw advocate the really helped I'm so I did. And one evaluation. And said with the pac act they said that is a automatic approved. And they to wait for them to finish paper work to get done it sounds promising but I will not count on it tell I see it. So up to people and the legion. Took 2 days to tell it all probably cus I had take breaks be cause the nasty stuff I couldn't stop crying. But I am glad he told and I wood love keep it alive now its up to the legion to set the prices for tickets so let's how many people appreciate what they did for us. Donation over tick price are welcome. I will talk to legion and see I if interested and I will do it as many times as the can sell tickets for.Thank you very much. If they once they they make tickets it's up to them to in the summer and mabey do it outside. I will talk to them to see if they are interested. Thank you and Merry Christmas.John (ED)NOREEN“

“Conveniently located off the frontage road of Hiway 61, it does resemble a big red barn. There is a banquet hall/area with entry in the back of the parking lot. Tuesdays offer tacos (good tacos-self serve taco bar) & Johnny NO Cash Country band, on Wednesday its bingo.The kitchen offers pub grub as well as Heggies Pizzas. I was looking forward to an order of chicken wings, but the kitchen ran out of wings. Next time we come here to line dance, will try to get the wings again!“

“I have not ate at dennys for quit some yrs due to a really bad experience.. I decided to give it another shot in hopes this experience is different.. I went in with very high expectations so sorry to the staff.. I must say I was very shocked I give 5star all around.. it was clean, employees were VERY friendly & professional.. their was one employee who stood out the most so I asked her name since their was no name tag.. I wanna say it was amy.. she's a 5 star very hard worker that knows her job“

“A down home family restaurant with great food and atmosphere.“

“Food was delicious and looked just like the pictures. The California egg Benedict was delightful but my favorite part of my entire experience was my amazing server Tanya she was so sweet and really made it over the top. Will definitely be back!“

“It's still a great restaurant, maybe even better after the change in ownership!I really appreciate the update to the look of their menu. Don't worry, they still have the same great breakfast selection and burger selection!Friendly staff (no complaints), decent food, and I've rarely ever had to wait to be seated. There is a bar, but it has never posed an obstacle for one of their main goals of being family friendly.There is a smaller parking lot that is typically full during meal times. I've only had an issue finding a spot twice in the 8+ years I've been going here.There is handicap parking. The doors do not have a handicap accessibility button, they are pull only doors. The environment is typically not loud or distracting. It is a great local restaurant.I would recommend all-American breakfast, waffles, pancakes, their cheese curds, and the build your own burger. They make great pies, my personal favorites are the cherry and the French silk pies.“

“We had our father’s celebration of life here because he was a member and loved golfing here. They did an excellent job and were so supportive of us. It ended up being a beautiful event with their help and very affordable too. All the guests were very impressed. They helped us run it smoothly and the staff were so personable because they knew my dad. Food was excellent. Would recommend people holding their events here.“

“Wonderful Friday fish fry. Fish was cooked in beer batter and served hot and fresh. Tasty sides and outstanding dessert. Great value and service was quick, very quick, and the entire waitstaff seemed to be enjoying the entire experience. Very pleasant experience. We'll be back. Thanks“

“The staff is generally genuine and accommodating for seating and always happy and smiling waitstaff is generally within 5 minutes to touch table and they do touch table in between eating and finish the food is fair to good attention could be paid to making sure the food is warm when it does come to the table if you want seniors to frequent and return coupons are still a must with the baby boomer generation overall I'd give a four star and look forward to coming in again for dinner breakfast with regards Brett l OlsonWheelchair accessibility: Seniors especially people that are disabled or cited would really enjoy having booze that have much bigger space in your seating area so the booths are wider I know over time they have shranked the size of the Boost space to accommodate more people it's very rare that I see the place full 12 hours a day and seniors and people that are disabled or have children really need the wider booths thank you“

“We had lunch. My favorite is the home chicken bacon cranberry blue cheese salad. My wife's favorite is the chicken cashew saladKid-friendliness: Kid friendly with children's meals that include a main item, soft drink, fries and a small dish or cone of ice creamWheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible“

“Excellent service, beautiful restaurant/bar. Food was great and the drinks even better! Will definitely go back! It’s a hidden gem in Woodbury! Glad we found it!!“

“Haven’t been indoor dining much since the pandemic but on an impulse stopped in to Chili’s in WDBY. Had the best server, Sarah, with the “pink” in her hair. She was so helpful, fun and patient. Even when we were confused when paying our bill and miscalculated the tip. She was kind and gracious the whole time and a great server. On our way home we realized we seriously made a big error in the tip. Something we will rectify on our next visit. The food was great. The restaurant was cozy. However Sarah made the visit wonderful! Sarah I hope you see this review!!!“

“We went here for the first time tonight and were very impressed by the atmosphere, service and food. After hearing great reviews (being new to the area) we finally made the trip over and were not disappointed! Highly recommend. We will be back for those award winning wings!“

“Good Pizza, Great Wings and a Nice Bar, I like to think if I'm from out of town and staying at a hotel I can find a place like this every time, easy to get to from the hotels and easy on and off the freeway, comfortable and good service makes this a good choice on the hill!“

“We got the hot beef sandwich and pepper jack burger and loaded fries. The hot beef was good. Filling. Gracy was tasty. My husband said he can't recommend the pepper jack burger the patty was meh and the banana peppers were a weird fit. Loaded fries are to major win here they were so good, with good fries, lots of cheese, and real thick bacon.“

“If you’re looking for a place that is affordable but has awesome food and drink, you need to try Bennett’s in Hudson.Also great place to have a private party! They go out of their way to accommodate everyone! Btw their salmon is out of this world“
