36 Best American Restaurants near Hanover

“We there on Mother's Day 2024 about 4:30. We needed wait about an hour for our table for 5. I cannot emphasize, what I witnessed enuf the staff was efficient, friendly and helpful to all. After we were seated, our waiter was upbeat, friendly and unhurried with us. We have been repeat customers many many times. We will be back once again for the best Prime Rib dinner in the state. Thank you to River Inn for an excellent experience and a delicious meal. ???“

“One word review: AppropriateMy wife and I eat breakfast here about once a month. The menu is reasonable, the food is served quickly and is always hot and the wait staff is perfect. If you love the sameness of chain restaurants this isn’t it. And that’s why we love it.“

“I came for one thing and one thing only. The apple walnut salad. It’s the best salad I’ve tasted anywhere. Love the brown sugar dressing and the combo of feta, greens, fruit and nuts is perfect. That is the only vegetarian dish they serve so of course that is my only option here but it is so good I’d get it even if they had other choices for me. For meat eaters, my friend thought the Cobb was good too. Yes, even the Mac and cheese has meat. I’m sure I could’ve asked for a special non meat version of that or the grilled cheese but why go there? Really, try the salad.Service was great. Immediately seated and the server was very attentive. The place is clean and cute… love the fun decor. No booths so seating is tables only.Vegetarian options: Not much for vegetarians on the lunch/dinner menu. But the apple walnut salad is yummy!“

“They are doing take out! Great good, great atmosphere! I’ve eaten here at least a half dozen times and it’s always been good!“

“Went in late place seemed to be run by a bunch of kids. Food was decent service lacked because all the kids were busy playing and talking too each other. They just wanted to close up and leave. But they were friendly what interaction we had with them. And the food was hot ?so I guess it could've been worse.Went in again still looks to be run by kids. Food again was acceptable hostess was rude, but server was a very sweet young man, I did not get his name but was very good at his job. But hostess did not make you feel welcome to be there.“

“They have a great selection of food to choose from. I had their Brisket Sandwich with sweet potato fries. The brisket was tender, juicy, and delicious tasting. It's definitely the place to return to. The wait staff is friendly with a positive attitude“

“Great food, friendly service!“

“I got the biscuits and gravy meal with eggs and hash browns. Small gripe with the menu: this meal is listed as 2 biscuits but is in fact one split biscuit. As far as taste the biscuits are homemade and quality, hence my desire for another. The gravy was decent but needed seasoning. Lack of seasoning was the biggest flaw on the entire plate. The hash browns while fantasticly crispy, lacked any and all seasoning and with that flavor. I almost never use table salt and pepper on my meal, but I did today. The staff were incredibly nice and the place was clean and exuded Americana. Though not a 5 I'd come back and try some of the other menu items.“

“We've eaten here twice and had surprisingly good meals. I say surprising because it's such an unassuming location in a smaller town, but the quality is top notch. Their steaks are sooo tender and the lobster roll is the best we've had in the state.Even their burgers have a little something extra and they're cooked to your specifications (everywhere else my medium is burnt to a crisp).Great option, please don't skip this one.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and the atmosphere is kid friendly, though it's not large enough for kids to get up and run around or anything.“

“Food was great! The nacho were amazing cheese om every chip and lots of extras like sour cream, lettuce, tomato, salsa, and meat of your choice. Yummy!! Server was attentive and friendly. Lots of TVs to watch whatever sport you maybe interested in. Will definitely be back!!“

“One of my favorite places to get a bite to eat! They have a huge selection of beers & ciders. I would recommend their burgers as They have a good amount to decide from. You then pick a side of fries which are all so delicious! My favorites are the original with the aioli and the sirachia maple bacon. They also have happy hour every day, which is amazing!! Be sure to try the fried pickles during happy hour. They are delicious, only $4 and come with a lot! The one down side of this place is that they don't have a lot of seating so when it is busy, expect to wait. I'd suggest sitting at the bar for quicker service. Overall, 5 stars for me for a great dining experience & good food!“

“Phenomenal experience at Clive's as of March 2024. Atmosphere has always been great, it seems they've made some menu changes that I completely support, the food tasted fresh and well made, and especially our server Kennedy. I have seen few servers in my life as good at their job as her. Absolutely outstanding performance on her part, a shining example of kindess, empathy, and professionalism - and now I intend to come back and hope to see more of that quality service at Clive's.“

“Homestyle food, large portions, pricing from the 90's. The takeout experience is a little odd the 1st time. I have not gotten a burger from McDowell's since discovering this place. Better taste, portions and price by a longshot.Parking: Plenty of space, 2 entrance/exit, well cleared in the winter. Some people are very indecisive about how to handle exiting into trafficKid-friendliness: Small town safety. Many regular customers and a favorite spot for police and firefighters to eat at. Not much space for kids to move around though.Wheelchair accessibility: The doorframe bumps are not fun. They do accommodate for seating.“

“A childhood core memory that just keeps getting better.From 1919 in the Frosty mug, the train cruising around the bar area, and the fish tanks, going to Dave's has always been one of my favorite things to do on a Friday or Saturday night.Coming back to town for Christmas, Dave's was a natural choice, and man, oh man, it was like I was a kid again.One of the few restaurants in the area I recommend to friends when I find out they're visiting my hometown.Dietary restrictions: Peanut- allergy friendly“

“Our family has been here a couple of times now. The food is excellent, and the menu is quite large with many choices. We have had to wait a bit for service, sometimes seeing tables who sat after us get served first. The atmosphere is very friendly. The outer room can get incredibly loud when the place is full. This is definitely a place to return to!“

“We reserved a party room for a small business event. Deb was very easy to work with and Michelle was helpful when I had questions and Deb wasn't available. Their rates were incredibly reasonable. The flexibility was hard to beat! When we arrived, Mike and Deb were great about making sure we had what we needed. We had 2 servers- mine was Emily and she was very on top of things. The food was good and the drinks were good- I heard no complaints from any of our guests about the food, drinks or service. Kudos to the kitchen for pace and standard. Also, the room afforded a lot of space and a great deal of privacy from the rest of the bar which was perfect for us. Overall, I wish every venue was as great as this one! Thanks Liberty crew!“

“I've been here about 4 times. Never disappointed.Edit: qwe went again for a date night dinner. Unbelievably delicious. I had a salad and unlike other places, it was well seasoned, the flavors were balanced and it was not drowning in house ranch. It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious salad at a restaurant. If you go, you have to try a blackberry lemon drop. They're absolutely dangerous!“

“Incredible food!! I enjoyed truffle gnocchi with chicken and my husband had the filet mignon. Both were so good flavorful, we were savoring each bite!! The country music playing seemed wrong for the ambience, which felt classy and cozy. Great service, no wait to get in. We’re definitely coming back!“

“My dog wanted me to write a review that she’s very dissatisfied with her pup cup experience—we go to the Buffalo Culver’s occasionally and their pup cups are a small vanilla custard scoop in a cup with a dog treat on top. She said the whipped cream was top notch, though.“

“loved the name of the place so we had to check it out. the food was very good and moderately priced“

“Ribs and the best wings! Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“First time here. Felt really comfortable and relaxed here. Really liked the vibe. The bartender was busy but kept up nicely.They have Modelo on tap so I was happy. Wife ordered the chicken and I had the Texas chicken sandwich. Both were good not great. Problem is there were so many things that sounded good had a hard time deciding. Will have to go back soon and try the rest.Would highly recommend, look forward to going back.“

“Even with loosing their main cook last week, they still had a good selection for Sunday breakfast. Our server was on top od things even being short handed. Hats off to them!!Parking: Lots of parking and a special area for motorcycle parking.“

“Hawk's burgers are the best.“

“Great experience. The food was great, the price was spot-on, and the customer service was wonderful. These are not your average burgers. For a while, I thought I was losing my sense of taste, but I think I just wasn't going to the right place. Fantastic job! Old time burgers.“

“We live about 10 mins away and love this place. My wife and I have gone here for over a year and have nothing but a good experience. We've tried almost everything on the menu. The staff is great and the food is great. Service is fast and polite! If you need a good place to dine that's fast, cheap, and polite go here!“

“Went to play Bingo tonight. Had a fun evening. Overall, opion is clean, family, friendly, friendly service and an over all entertaining place to eat and have a cocktail.Kid-friendliness: I would have no problem bringing my children or grandchildren.Wheelchair accessibility: Could have more handicap parking spots, but all parking is pretty accessible to everyone.“

“We have had so many great experiences at Clays…. We prefer some bartenders…. But just don’t go when Laina ( spell ) is bartending. She is so annoyed that non regular customers ask her for anything…. ? Luckily I made my husband go deal with her….“

“Always great team members working! Food is always on point! Always clean inside!Kid-friendliness: Order at your table! Scan the QR code and buy online and it's set so they bring it to the table! Love this for busy moms like me with 4 children!“

“After a long time of not eating at Denny's, we decided to "try it out" again on a Sunday morning. Oh boy were they busy... but the staff was doing a great job keeping up and staying positive. There was a certain "energetic" atmosphere. Food was rather good... I loved their slow roasted pot roast patty melt... that's probably not the correct menu item name.“

“This is hands down THE BEST place to eat! I have a special needs ( Autistic, ADHD, vision impaired) grandchild and she requests this Culvers daily. We have tried others ( The St Cloud location made us leave because of her excited squeals) but the way the entire staff treats her and the rest of us when we walk through that door in Monticello is OUTSTANDING!! They can see if she's having a tough day and they go above and beyond to accommodate us. I have NEVER taken her anywhere else in Monticello that has accepted her the way Culvers staff has. They are always polite, fast and very welcoming. I don't know all of their names but Anthony and Chad are two of her favorite people. The manager is wonderful! When my bill fold got left behind she worked hard to reach out and get it back to me, she went above and beyond and I can't tell you how very much that ment to me. We don't feel like customers, we feel like family. The staff never seems crabby or like you are a burden, they really seem to enjoy their job. That speaks volumes about management. We cannot say enough good things about the staff 😃 Thank you Monticello Culvers for accepting my Granddaughter for who she is ❤️“

“Went for breakfast this morning. Everything was excellent. Before our meal was served we received a warm blueberry sort of breakfast dessert that was wonderful.Lacey was our server and was prompt and checked in on us to make sure everything was good. Awesome service!“

“Our first time at Rockwoods, and we will definitely be back. Atmosphere is upscale but not overly done. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing! We would have paid twice the price and still thought it was a good deal compared to other local options.“

“The Brickside Grille and Tap is a hidden gem of Minnesota. It was the perfect place to meet with extended family for a Saturday dinner.The staff were great. We had a comfortable table, big enough for all of us. And we were separated just enough from the main dining area so we could easily visit.The food was delightful! Every dish we had was wonderful. Perfectly seasoned, fresh, and tasted amazing! Get the Crispy Cauliflower you'll love it!“

“Was a fantastic experience. Customer service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and smiling. The food was sooo good. It was hot when it was served and plenty of flavor. I had the Caprese chicken sandwich with fries. I would highly recommend eating at the establishment..Parking: Plenty of parking, 3-5 handicap parking placesKid-friendliness: Burgers, fries, chicken straps, tater totsWheelchair accessibility: Main floor dining“
