12 Best American Restaurants in Lebanon

“This place has a little bit of everything on the menu. We tried bbq pizza, chilli and grilled cheese, and a club wrap. All was really tasty. Our waitress , Morgan, was super friendly and attentive. The manager on duty stopped a few times to check on us too. It was pretty full on Saturday for lunch for a reason. Good food and good folks. Its right in the middle of the square, a super quaint downtown feel with lots of small town vibes. I want to go back and explore the square some more.“

“Veered a short way off the interstate to pick a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans and am very glad I did! The coffee shop this is based out of has a great atmosphere, and the employees were happy to answer any questions about their coffee. Their Columbian origin bean tastes great brewed out of my Aeropress very smooth, bold coffee flavor with a sweet undertone.“

“1st visit. I had no idea that they had a small cafe area to sit and eat. Comfortable and clean. I did a togo order and everyone was very happy. Cobb salads and club sandwiches. Both were excellent. Pickled onions and sun dried tomatoes on the salads were unique. My son inhaled the club sandwich with a thumbs up.“

“Had not been to this Shoneys for fear of it was dirty, I would never go back. That place was clean, breakfast buffet was wonderful. Everything was in its place and orderly. I was really impressed up until the server!!Kim was AWESOME!!! Gotcha Kim! We were a ladies church group of 14 ladies. I don't think we ever needed anything. She kept drinks filled, coffee hot and take clean. Best of all she could take a joke! We ended up friends after today. This world could use more Kim's in this world! So ask for Kim if you go during the day.Now I'll definitely try the dinner buffet soon.“

“Great place! UpdateToday was my 2nd time there as I haven't been to Tennessee for a couple years. Asked the waitress just how big the the big dog was. She said to think what I thought how big a big dog is and that this is bigger. OMG SHE WASN'T KIDDING. It came with chili, cheese, onions and coleslaw. We got the slaw on the side. Also got some onion rings. Neither one of us ate the rest of the day. It was delicious, the waitress was awesome. Loved the old school vibe. Even had a Betty boop by the door. You can eat in or outside or just sit in your vehicle. Can't wait to go back! Of course I had to take a pic with Betty. You won't regret trying this slice of old Americana!“

“I soak those amazing little buttery parmesan crusted dinner rolls into the hot cup of chicken and rice soup, savor the flavor of the juicy, medium rare sirloin and devour the specially made spaghetti in LOUISIANA CREAM SAUCE (with chunks of blackened chicken and use another roll to sopp up the remaining sauce)... Oh, and when I'm famished the Caesar salad is great along with it, too. If these photos don't explain, hopefully that description is enough. I will always salivate for this dinner.“

“I have to say that coaches was a delightful find in Gallatin. I enjoy wings on a very high level and any place that serves wings I have to try them. Coaches grilled wings absolutely blew me away. I had them twice within a 4 day period despite the nearly 2 hour drive to get there. The servers made us feel like we were at home and took such good care of us. If you’re in the area give coaches a try you won’t be disappointed. The only caution I have for folks who don’t like smoke/smoking this is a bar and grill that you can smoke in. It never bothers me but for that I have atmosphere a 4.Thank you so very much to coaches for An amazing experience and food!“

“Dined here for the first time recently and really enjoyed it. Apologies for not recalling our server's name - she was wonderful. Shared a pitcher of Sam Adams (not sure if local brew was available) - it was cold, fresh, and tasty.I had a Reuben sandwich and my wife enjoyed a Patty Melt. We shared an order of onion strings. Everything was delicious - well prepared and tasty.Prices were very fair and we felt the value was good. Definitely worth a try!!!“

“Oh my goodness…we have found our new Saturday morning breakfast spot! Only regret is have not tried them until now. All you can eat breakfast Buffett. Everything was SO delicious, hot and fresh. Immediately had a seat. Was a little bit less than when we pay at Cracker Barrel and again, it’s buffet. I know where we will be every Saturday morning! If you haven’t tried them yet you HAVE to! Staff was so nice, felt like we’d been there a hundred times. What a welcome option to the ordinary choices for breakfast in Gallatin!“

“They use soybean oil in their fryers. The food is good. There’s one cook that is really good but the other cook ain’t to bad. The burgers are great.Finding a place that doesn’t use poisonous canola oil nowadays is almost impossible. I literally pick my loads that’ll bring me by here again. I just wish they were open later. At least till midnight.“

“Some people like it, some people hate it. Had an 8oz Top Sirloin and it had more fat than I would have liked but it was still pretty good overall. The wait staff was very nice and weren't afraid to "mess with ya" a little bit. Made the trip pretty enjoyable. I'd eat here again.“

“Pleasantly surprised at how good everything was! Our second trip since the new, new owners have taken over and re-did the restaurant completely. Still a great atmosphere. I have the French dip which was delicious and HUGE, and my wife had the Wedge salad, YES they have a wedge! love the wedge salad but can't find it in Gallatin anywhere. Their portions are large. They also have a great number of pasta dishes to choose from which looked great! Will definitely return!“
