50 Best American Restaurants near Alton

“3 weeks ago I tried coming here and didn't see what time they closed (9pm). I was there 10 minutes before closing so I'm guess they saw a family and thought oh hell no we're closed, Mind u it's been a long time since I've been here so I'm sure glad I came back here. The food was good and I finally brought my wife and kiddos... was missing the oldest. Anywho, my wife even said the food was good, and that's cuz she knows good Mexican food; not like those that say it's real Mexican food and it's not even close. Sorry this time I didn't have time to take pics of the food but next I will. Hehe!“

“We booked The Republic for a business meeting and ended up staying much longer after the lunch because the conversation setting was just great. The waiter did an excellent job and provided fast service, remembered our orders, was courteous and friendly. It was my boss's first time there and he had positive reviews as well. The chimichurri steak salad was excellent! We'll be going again soon!“

“Yadira good service.Yino gave us great service a day later!Another time we had Andrea or Andy!All three have been delightful servers!We are eating often at Denny’s in Mission, TX as Winter Texans! Will soon head up North and Denny’s along the way!Parking: 30 spaces??“

“Love this place! Our waitress Jasmine was pleasant and attentive. Stopped by the bar & ordered my favorite “shot” of Eddie’s Vodka Ruby red with a grapefruit spritzer and as always the bartender Celeste gets my request just right, love her!!“

“excellent food and service by letty.“

“The food was awesome and really delicious and the service was great and the staff was friendly and really enjoyed it This is a great Restaurant“

“Walked over to this restaurant from our nearby hotel and glad we did! Everything was more than we expected! Even had a pianist providing background music for our experience. Crab cakes best we’ve ever had, scallops melted in our mouth and the orange roughy baked in clay was so full of flavour. Waitress was so friendly and informative after we told her this was our first time!“

“The service is always amazing. Friendly staff, but the coup de gras and is of course the food! I had the 1/2 biscuit and gravy order (it's a really big biscuit(!), with tons of sausage and delicious gravy. That was plenty to share with those with a smaller appetite like me. But you should never, and I mean NEVER miss out on the muffins - especially the Hawaiian ones!!! The owners are amazing and even held an order for me after hours when I was running late. Not *that's service!! Try this place, you'll never regret it.“

“Their food and service is top tier. Only reason it’s a 4 star and not a 5 star is that my favorite item was removed. Their beyond burger was the best and I was glad to finally have a nice place to eat out that offered a great option for me. I know they replaced it with a veggie burger but it’s not even close to being what the beyond burger was. I’ve tried some of the other vegan options but nothing could compare. Another thing is that at peak time between all the people and the loud music it can be very hard to hear both the people you’re with and the server. However that being said food was always fantastic and service was amazing.Vegetarian options: They have a lot to offer for vegetarians and have clearly labeled menus for restrictions. Same for vegans we are capable of having a good meal here. I will say however their normal buns are not vegan so you have to sub out for their gluten free one which is not the greatest so I’d recommend bringing a bun if you want a better bun option.Dietary restrictions: They have a very detailed area warning of common allergens and have separate menus for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people.“

“Jacob, the server was terrific and attentive. Food was prepared quickly and to order. It arrived hot and tasty. The water I ordered had a good taste, no lemon required. The meals were $18 for one Grand Slam, one Deluxe Grand Slam, two hot teas. Left a cash tip to make sure Jacob received it right away.“

“Went with a friend on the recommendation of another friend. She did not steer us wrong. Both of us had the filet but substituted a different side than listed. Steak was cooked perfectly. Brussel sprouts were great. Though the dessert menu was appealing there was not room left to indulge.“

“Another AMAZING visit to University Draft House in Edinburg. Our server Angel was on point with his beer suggestions. Manager Matt was working the floor helping his team. These guys made a huge impact in our dining experience. I think we all know the valley is not known for good service but these guys make you feel like you're in a big city with their red carpet treatment. When you go in make sure to joke and have a good time with them. They're a lively group. They have live bands and an energetic environment.“

“Had a great experience here at Eddy’s & what made it even better was having Amarantha as our waitress! She has a friendly demeanor and was always with a positive attitude. When we come back we hope you take care of us again. Other than that, place is very clean and music was on point!“

“Ranc House Burgers in Mission is the best place to unwind and eat great food on a friday night. Famous Amos is the best server and we look for him everytime we come here. Great service, great food and the best Margarita drinks and Palomas available. Famous Amos makes our experience here 10x better and the live music is awesome.“

“The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The menu had a wide enough selection for even the pickiest eater (aka me lol) We came for an anniversary dinner and they thoughtfully decorated the table and brought out a dessert ❤️ 10/10“

“The food is great and the personnel is very friendly and helpful. This is one of my favorite restaurants.“

“We've gone to Bubba's 33 twice in the last 10 days and the food was excellent both times. The chef did an awesome job cooking the cod and the side salad is almost a meal in itself with a taste different from any salad I have ever had. This is our new favorite restaurant!“

“We cannot recommend enough! Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. The homemade pasta is something you dream of.“

“Very COLD! I work in a hospital cold department, this even colder! Seen men and women entering with jackets! TV's can't really listen to one or the other , all playing load from sport to tik tok ,utube, NBA,NFL, Food was delicious!“

“/24Went to go eat with my brother Josh and my favorite sis-n-law at Chedders scratch kitchen. Service was good and food was great. I recommend this place will go again. Even though there was a long line we got seated in about 30minsFood was good the server was really good“

“Had a great experience Jesse the manger was awesome. He made the everything was perfect and kept checking up making sure our food was good… I will definitely be back Thank you to Jesse and the bartender..“

“First time going to coffee zone and it was good! I forgot to take a picture before eating because I was hungry ?. But I enjoyed my lunch with an iced matcha latte and strawberry foam on top (I forgot the name of the drink). I ordered their special Chinese bbq pork noodles, it was delicious!“

“The food was excellent and our server was awesome! Celebrating me with a few friend. May is my birthday month. so I should be there with other friends celebrating life.“

“I try to come to the jazz event stuff. It's really nice listening to the live music in the outside area. The burgers we had here were great. The chips with cheese on the other hand weren't that good. I wouldn't get those again for sure. Last time we were here I got a fly in my beer still full glass. And the manager said that if I wanted a new one, that I would have to pay for a new one. Which dulled the experience a bit not gonna lie but the server was so nice for giving us coasters to cover the drinks after that. That was pretty sweet of her. Her service was the best.“

“We booked their Elote Stand for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our guests LOVED it and the corn was delicious! So many neat toppings to choose from and friendly service from the team that served the cups. It was a lot of our guests first experience with elote and the team provided recommendations for our guests as they created their cups! Great service, clean practices and very cute stand with fair pricing! Smooth experience from booking to the end of the event. Can’t wait to use them again in the future!“

“Food is great. service is great. But i do have an issue at the restrooms. I expect impecable restrooms just like their food and the restrooms need a lot of help. Trash cans at the restrooms are unsanitary and need definite replacement. Walls/ stalls as well“

“first time here, service here is very attentive which is amazing.however the men's bathroom was a little underwhelming, water everywhere on the floor not to mention no soap either.prices are fair and worth, definitely will come back for future visits.“

“I loved this place to eat so quickly, the chicken is super crunchy, the potatoes are delicious and very hot, the lemonade is very good too and the bread that they put butter on is exquisite... they also give you a coleslaw that makes the dish a perfect combination.“

“Our server was outstanding ? ? ? ? ?Maia made our experience so much fun,she went out of her way to make us feel welcome she had all these food recommendations for my husband and I to try. My son ended up trying the Mac&cheese as per her suggestion, and my son loved it. She's so energetic and social we didn't want to leave..Kudos to you, Maia, hope to have the pleasure of getting sat on one of your tables on our next visit to this location.“

“We ordered the following from the menu. The brisket sandwich came with onion rings and a salad. I give it 10 stars, best meal. We ordered a baked potato on the side OMG best ever, super delicious. My husband ordered the fajita tacos. They were so juicy, and tender on flour tortillas was the best with a street corn on the side is also the best. For being the first time here, it is so good but pricey but delicious and worth every dollar.“

“I absolutely love their Lunch Menu. It has the right mix of tasty dishes at very affordable prices.Whatever you choose to eat goes down well with an Ice-Cold glass of draft beer, my preferences are either a Blue Moon Belgian Ale or local brewer's 5x5 Vaquero.Yes, you can be plain and boring by choosing Budweiser, Bud Light or Miller Lite. Why even go to a Bar and Grill if you are not willing to try something different every now and then?“

“The restaurant is very lovely and well lit on the inside. The menu is diverse. The chicken was amazing, however the sides were mid. I got the half chicken plate with Mexican street corn and Mac & Cheese. Service was quick and the sweet tea and lemonade were very pleasant tasting. 8/10“

“The food was decent enough, not bad, wings could have been crunchier, that’s just my preference. Was here for the birria tacos but disappointed they didn’t have them anymore.. the bistro tacos weren’t bad, and the taco Tuesday special definitely makes it worth checking out!“

“Daya at Buffalo Wings and Rings provided exceptional service during our visit. Their attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and knowledge of the menu truly enhanced our dining experience. She went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction, making recommendations and accommodating our requests promptly. Daya's professionalism and positive attitude made our meal memorable, and we look forward to returning thanks to their outstanding service.“

“Came to eat their turkey dinner before Thanksgiving day. It was superb!! All the trimmings were delicious. Hillary and Leslie were wonderful, catering to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Souvenirs are cute.“

“I have been eating at this restaurant since 2008. Always great food, great service and great prices. You definitely get your bang for your buck. I always bring family that haven’t tried it and they end up always going back too! Thanks for always being consistent in great food!“

“Relaxed atmosphere, no loud music. Awesome and attentive service. We tried their house drinks and they did not disappoint. The Butterfly Effect (my favorite) and Tequila Mockingbird are nice, sweet drinks and the Old Fashioned is tops. The Ribs were great and the Bugsy burger was amazing. For dessert, we tried the Cappuccino tartlet and French press coffee- both very good. Will definitely come back.“

“Omg! Hit google maps up for bbq near me and ended up here! The staff was so helpful and kind. The FOOD?! Omg!!!! Delicious scrumptious and melt in your mouth fantastic! Hot and ready in minutes. Mesquite bbq flavor was delish! Took brisket, sausage, ribs, chicken, and baked potato and WOW! Definitely best in mission! Best in RGVDidn’t care much for the bbq sauce as it tasted like ketchup…. But who goes here for the sauce? lol ?“

“I love this Italian restaurant. A little pricey but food portions are so generous, fresh and delicious. Their bread needs a revisit. It does not match the rest of the menu for flavor or freshness. I have several favorites but love the Pancetta Carbonara.“

“We had a great server and the food was delicious!“

“Been coming here for the past few months and the service is expectionally well and consistent. The waffle fries are the best, also crispy and fresh. Destiny has been my favorite bartender by a long shot. I don't recommend going for lunch during the week because multiple times I've noticed they only have one server and it can get packed and be overwhelming for her.“

“My salad was so freaking delicious!! Definitely recommend!!“

“We decided to have a late dinner after having volleyball and football games for my children.(Rewarding them for doing great.)It was around 9pm.Our waitress Laura was AMAZING.She was quick to tend to my family & I.Food came out at a reasonable time and it was hot and fresh.??She was very friendly and always had a smile even though the restaurant was busy.The host was very understanding with us not wanting to sit in the bar due to it being hot and stuffy. She made room for us on the dining side. This restaurant has never failed us.AWESOME place to take your family and enjoy dinner or lunch. ?Remember DON’T FORGET TO TIP YOUR WAITRESS OR WAITER! ??#RewardyourstaffforbeingawesomeParking: The parking lot is a good size, even though the restaurant was busy it was easy for us to find a parking spot. ?Kid-friendliness: Our waitress was so friendly with our 3 children.She made them feel part of the table, not only tending to us.Which is a HUGE PLUS for us.AWESOME JOB LAURA!????“
