35 Best American Restaurants near River Falls

“Embarrassed to say it was my first time here after 19 years in town! What was i thinking! Great food. Wish it was warm enough to sit outside. The appetizers were excellent. Chicken strips, wraps, and burgers were all excellent as well. And I love the crinkle fries! Will be back!“

“My fussy husband loved the food, and would not stop talking about how he loved his meat lovers omelet with veggies. Thank you, cooks, for being generous with the hollandaise! The hash browns were perfect; you could tell they use fresh oil. The side pancake filled the plate! It was tall and fluffy and slightly sweet, so I did not use syrup. The coffee mugs are huge! The lovely waitress brought a carafe of coffee. The tall, strong gent on staff told us he's married to our sweet waitress and the whole operation is a family affair. We ordered a whole caramel apple pie to go, for Christmas dinner; I imagine that will knock Mom & Dad's socks off. We are delighted The Table on Main is right in downtown River Falls and it's our new go-to breakfast/lunch place. The Table-On-Main family all work hard and we wish you continued success.“

“LOVEEEE this restaurant!!!! I am celiac and i really appreciate the numerous gluten free options. I found this place about a month ago and have probably ordered atleast a handful of times since. My boyfriend loves it too- both the gluten friendly food and the OGs.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“I love culvers! The food was amazing. However, the service was just ok, I was not a very big fan on how they forgot my ranch and gave me mustard instead. That is not a proper replacement. Those vibes were good, though! I really liked the lighting. It was a bit messy, though.Vegetarian options: Theee are things with no meat on the menuDietary restrictions: Can work with people with dairy allergies, and I think gluten free peopleParking: It's busy at lunch and dinner and sometimes breakfast but in between emptyKid-friendliness: Kids meals and kids portion, high chairsWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, large door“

“Ordered takeout, have not experienced the environment much but it seemed nice when I was there. Food wise everything was amazing. We ordered a jalapeño popper burger and the French dip both with seasoned fries. The fries would’ve been better if homemade but the seasoning made them delicious. Both sandwiches were delicious and had lots of toppings and different flavors. Would recommend this over many of the restaurants on Main Street!“

“Thank you St Croix Lanes for sponsoring the Junior Bowling League. My granddaughter has loved learning the game of bowling and has even participated in tournament bowling. She's making new friends and gaining confidence in herself. Thank you for being a place where families can come and have fun!“

“This is such a fun resteraunts. The fish was very good and reasonably priced for how much you get. On a side note I was not a fan of the house tartar, mustard has no place in it IMO, which will probably exclude me from ordering the fish again, but no complaints on the fish itself:) My son also liked his wrap. Service was above reproach:)“

“I've heard a lot of great things about Westwind, but have never been. As soon as we walked in, the hostess greeted us with a smile and we were seated within 5 minutes on a Friday night. which I was pleased with. It's been a long time since I had a waitress as good as the one we had. She checked in with us frequently, our drinks were never empty and she always greeted us with a smile and even knew how to make us laugh which isn't easy to do. Hands down I recommend this restaurant and if Lexi is working definitely ask for her.“

“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).“

“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.“

“Agave Kitchen has firmly established itself as one of my favored dining destinations in Hudson, distinguished by its array of flavorful dishes. The ambiance it provides is suitably versatile, accommodating both professional dinner meetings and casual outings with friends and family. This adaptability, combined with its culinary excellence, underscores the establishment's commitment to creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for a diverse clientele.“

“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.“

“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“

“Its not too often that we get a night to go out for dinner just the two of us. We made a great choice and went to the Shady Grove. We enjoyed great service and amazing food. We started with side salads with homemade dressing and pickled beets that were delicious! The dinner rolls were hot and tasty, and our diet cokes never got close to being empty! I enjoyed the prime rib with homemade horse radish sauce and au gratin potatoes. She enjoyed the broiled walleye and hashbrowns. Our first trip down was a huge success, and definitely won't be our last! It was too cold today, but there is also outdoor seating when the weather cooperates!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“LOVE the Key's in Hudson! Last week I ordered a Valentine Chocolate House Cake and it was amazing (as it has been EVERY year that I've ordered one since they started offering these cakes!). Today I dined in with a friend and I had the new Corned Beef Benny and it was amazing+. Our server was attentive and the coffee kept coming. We were catching up and did not feel pressured to quickly leave the minute we were done with our meals. I have been to other Key's locations and while all are good . . . The Hudson Key's is the BEST!“

“I wanted to get ham and potatoes and gravy to go today for Easter. I called ahead and the chef said he would have it all ready. I was on my way to the airport to pick someone up and stopped into Post to pick up. Not only did someone go around the buffet and fill a to go container for me but while they were waiting for their computer to restart, the chef came out and said there was no charge!!! I’ve always loved this place and their wonderful food and service but this was just amazingly sweet and so appreciated!! Thank you and Happy Easter! It was delicious. Terri O“

“Where do I even start? The absolute best breakfast within 100 miles of the cities, hands down. The employees are friendly, the drinks and food are delicious and very fairly priced. The patrons are America loving folks. Do yourself a favor and stop on in, you will not be disappointed! ?“

“We stopped by for a bite to eat about 4pm. The place was easy to find and we found a seat immediately. The waitress/bartender got us menus and drinks quickly.We ordered the saracha curds and seasoned tots to start. The curds were delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned just right.Our main course was the deluxe bacon burger and the crispy chicken sandwich both with fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and had an ample amount of toppings. The crispy chicken sandwich was cooked a bit on the crispy side so it had a nice crunch. It was juicy and delicious. The tomato and lettuce finished the sandwich giving it that delicious flavor we all love.The fries were hot but a bit undercooked. The smaller fries were ok but the larger fries were a bit soggy. Another 30 seconds in the dryer would have been all they needed to be perfect.Overall we had a pleasant experience. The food was very good, the service was exceptional, the price was great for the quality of the food. I highly recommend you stop and see for yourself how good this place is.“

“I ordered a Spotted Cow, as soon as the gal had time. I get annoyed when the bartender is messing with anything but serving food, booze or money transactions. I have no idea what she was doing to have taken so long to ask for the beer and a menu. I was famished. I ordered from a young man and asked which he recommended, the steak sandwich or burgers, he said burger. I ordered the $17.00 Forager Smash with onion rings. The sauce was funky tasting “mayonnaise truffle” and the burger a little too well done and dried out for my taste. I asked for medium rare and expected a juicy burger. Ya, for $17 bucks I want what I ask for! When I am famished almost anything tastes good, but not this. I am no expert on truffle mayo, so maybe that threw me off. If it was made wrong or spoiled, I wouldn’t know the difference, but I won’t order that again.One man band was pretty good playing his guitar and singing. If I had money to lose, I may have gambled or bought some pull tabs.I will go back for a weekend eve with my adult kids, and think they’ll like the vibe. The bar area appears mostly clean, but I didn’t walk around to see everything or use the restroom. There are two levels and I had a view of the St Croix River, the one man band, and everyone coming in and going out. I liked my seat at the bar choice a lot!The bill came and I added a 23% tip, but only the meal portion appeared to be deducted from my bank account. Not sure what happened there, but will definitely be back and make up for that soon.I’m gonna try the steak sandwich next time! Sit in the same spot! Appreciate the atmosphere and local hospitality! All good for going in too hungry 4*s all day long and hoping to give them 5* on my next experience ?️?“

“I had breakfast in your restaurant last year while on vacation, and I have to say that the atmosphere was absolutely wonderfulI! I had the opportunity to visit with the new owner, and with several of the staff, what a delight!! The food was excellent, and presented well. It was everything one could expect from Community establishment, situated on a main Street in beautiful Ellsworth Wisconsin. Will I return? I absolutely will return when I visit again this coming July! I Highly recommend Sawyer Joe’s!“

“We ate here last night and the food was delicious! They have a huge menu and the prices are very very reasonable. We had 3 cocktails and 2 entrees and bill was only $34. My husband’s rum and coke..$3.08!! Fish fry was great and very plentiful…4 pcs. with several sides was &14. Very friendly staff and quick service. Great outside patio that they are still working on. Will definitely be going back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Everything is always excellent when we go to Mallory's. We enjoy sitting in the dining area in the bar. It is always fun people watching as well as being quiet enough to hold a steady conversation with your table guests. They seem to have a fairly young wait staff but they are well trained, offering good service along with personality to enjoy.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“
