15 Best American Restaurants near Rockbridge

“This place has immediately become one of my favorite spots. I'm always drawn to 50's style diners and the aesthetics are spot on with this place. We were seated right away and our server, Shelby, was absolutely incredible! She was friendly, took our order correctly and answered all of our questions politely and with a friendly attitude. Our drinks were never empty and she was taking care of multiple tables at the same time! That's not something we see very often anymore.Now the food...was...fantastic! Courtney is a burger making master and she put together one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife calls me a burger snob so when I say it's one of the best I've ever had, it means something...to us anyways, lol. Everything was so fresh and that's what takes good food and makes it great food. Fresh fries, fresh burger patties and buns set Chelle's food apart from everyone else while their service puts them miles over the competition.The staff at Chelle's truly care about the quality of their food and the courtesy of the staff and it shows. We are so happy we chose to eat lunch there and will be happy to make the 2 hour trip to do it again very soon!“

“It was a great experience. The staff is very welcoming and greatly attentive. If you want a fun and friendly environment , definitely stop in. The manager Kristen is really a lot of fun and shows great hospitality, and the bartenders never let you go empty.“

“The Feed is the place to fill up your tank after a day spent enjoying beautiful Hocking Hills, Ohio. The Miso Mushroom Burger is delicious, and pairs well with the sweet potato fries. The Albino Bird is a chicken sandwich to die for. Portion sizes are hearty. If you're lucky the Chef might even come out and say Hi! The iced coffee and other specialty drinks are a real treat.“

“Definitely 4.5 stars the only reason for the .5 deduction was the portion size for my guests plate was on the small size. The bartending was a 10 Alec was fantastic and his drinks were on point. Couldn’t ask for better service. I ordered the barnyard burger sub avocado as I do not partake in pig. It was amazing!! The pretzels were ordered as an app and as they too were on the small side the taste although a little spicy was very good. My guest ordered the fish and chips and was quite pleased with the taste just still hungry after completing his meal. We will definitely be back even if not hungry we will stop in for a cocktail with 5 star service.“

“This was our first time here. It was delicious and the buffet had a lot of selections. The blackberry pie was the best I have had, wish I would have gotten a whole piece! LOL. We will be back again. The price of the buffet was very reasonable.“

“This was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food was so fresh. I got the chicken tenders and the spuds and they were delicious! The chicken was crispy and so good. You could tell it was fresh. The spuds were amazing. They were so addicting, I couldn't' t stop eating them. The service was also amazing. The lady who took my order was so sweet. She was such a positive person and I have never had a nicer server. The place felt so cozy. It was a cute little place that made me so happy. I would definitely go there again. 10/10 recommend.“

“These girls have done an awesome job! The food service and atmosphere is amazing!! We will be back“

“Absolutely delicious! Took the fam to see chef Chris on his birthday and it did not disappoint. Food is definitely awesome and massive especially for the cost. I got the Philly and was fantastic, my 7yr old stole the other half and smashed it. Good selection for everyone. Support local business.“

“Great food and drinks in a chill environment. Finally got to eat here during music bingo and the place was PACKED! The food took awhile, and the servers seemed spread a bit thin, but overall had a good experience. My wings were pretty decent, but the sauces weren't anything to wrote home about. Had part of a prime rib dinner and it was alright (a bit tough). The fries are really good. The music bingo was a great time.“

“Drove to Ohio for a night from NH to pick up my puppy BLU with a friend on 7/28/23. The breeder recommended this place as having the best wings. He wasn't kidding! This place had killer wings. We tried I think 4 different flavors, loved the Japenese BBQ that had some spice to it. It had a funky name but was delicious. We also had a fried shrimp basket that was loaded with succulent fried shrimp and the most amazing homemade hand cut fries that were fried to perfection. We played keno and tried our hand at pull tabs too. We weren't big winners but we didn't lose overall which was a plus. The best win was tremendous service. Our bartender was super attentive and she made sure were well taken care of. Portion sizes were generous. Pricing was also very reasonable. This place was so great its almost worth the 13 hour trip out and 14 hour trip back. Can't wait to stop in again next time I'm out that way. Maybe next year when I get another Frenchton puppy.“

“So needed someplace to go quick before a basketball tournament. There is not a lot of choices within this little area without driving a bit so we tried Handle Bar and Grill. Yes you can bring children in. It's a wonderful little local place and our food was amazing!!! We go to Hocking Hills alot so this will be a repeat visit if we get hungry. I'm glad we happenstanced on it!!“

“Local bar in Lancaster Ohio iffy depending on the night of the week that you go in and depends on also the crowd that ends up thereParking: Down the main drag of main Street not suggested to park on the Maine run of that anyway plenty of side road parking little bit more difficult to access with wheelchairWheelchair accessibility: Easy if you park on main Street not so much on side roads parking“

“So the restaurant is located at a country club so the ambience is very golf/country club-esque. Aside from that, the food was great (big portions for the burger and premium $$ sweet potato fries). Very quick and friendly service. Was worth it and would go back if I’m ever in that neck of the woods.“

“Great evening of live music by "Off The Grid"! Very pleasant atmosphere and great service! The servers and I'm sure the kitchen as well were energetic, friendly and definitely on top of everything and on the ball. The bar and restaurant itself inside was very cozy and inviting and the outside back patio was just as nice. Seemed like all the patron's were just as nice and respectful of one another. Definitely will be going back ?“

“This is a highly recommended spot where you can enjoy any environment with refreshing drinks and amazing food! Not only are the drinks amazing, but the people behind the brand are even better. You won’t be disappointed here. Buckeye Vodka LOVE working with these folks.“
