7 Best American Restaurants near Belton

“Excellent food! Great service.“

“My wife and kids love this little restaurant! Very inviting and cute diner. Perfect place for a family to go for lunch or dinner. Huge menu that you have to come back again and again to try all the food you wanna eat. Food has always been good and staff are friendly and willing to help out whatever way they can.“

“I first ate here when I was young, probably 20 years ago, and even tho I live in a Alabama now I have went out of my way to go thru Belton again just for Ernie's! It hasn't changed at all! I even brought my husband twice and he loved it!! This really is some of the best fried chicken I've had. I hope this place never changes and I can't wait to come back.“

“The food was ok. However, what made it pleasantly was the service. Thank you, Matty or Marty. Apologies if I am mispronouncing the name. Steak was perfectly cooked but lacked in taste (which I admit is my personal preference). You probably would find it ok, good, or great even. The fact it was cooked how it was ordered says lots of the Chef. Mashed potatoes have a southern grand Ma taste to it, so good there. Broccoli was tasty (could use less butter, for those of us who are health nuts, pretty sure if I would have asked, they would have accommodated it). But the Chili, whoa nelly ?. First, it is not like the chili most people are used to. In fact, it is more like ground beef with onions and beef. I was waiting for my taco shells or tortillas, lol ?. But, the taste, at least for me, I loved it. My wife, who had not ordered it, ended up getting a cup of it. Is a good restaurant to give yourselves a break, a night in town relaxing and not having to think of cooking.Parking: You have to drive to the parking lot behind the restaurant and you will find plenty. If you stay on top, it could get difficult. So, drive behind and park by the river, and enter through the back or walk up the stairs of the Plaza, and then decide if you want to eat there or any of the other options there.“

“Boy they got some of the best customer service ever especially that one dude named Cody he is the best around and most definitely not a lizard person I rate hime five outta five stars“

“We haven't had good luck over our stay in the area with the first few places we went to but this place really picked it up for us great service we got sat right away the waitress was amazing very friendly attentive got us everything that we needed the food literally came out so fast and it was super tasty this place is definitely a Hidden Gem for sure.“

“As long as you know what to expect you're fine. Yes the food is very good and plenty of it. The seafood on our fried seafood platter (catfish, shrimp, oysters) was impeccable. Not fried into oblivion and just as importantly not undercooked. It came out piping hot. The fries were cooked through but not browned like they should've been. The garlic mashed potatoes were meh. The cole slaw was warm. It had a nice bright lemony flavor that paired well with the richness of the seafood but should've been cold. The hush puppies are *fabulous*. This is the only place in my 68 years (and my daughter who is 39) that we not only eat them, but would request more if we weren't so full from the abundance of seafood. Will we go back? Yes! We've been here before. When we want seafood, we know we'll get good seafood (and those hushpuppies). We don't go for the sides that come with it but do wish they were better - it was because of the sides that my Food rating is a 4 and not a 5. Now then....what to expect atmosphere-wise: If you go during rush (Friday and Saturday night - which we did) it's going to take a while to get seated (an hour), and a while to get a wait-person and get your food (45 minutes after we sat down at our table). My Service rating of 3 was because of this. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating though - it's just that they're understaffed. Going when it's not peak time may solve that. And (still talking about peak time) it is going to be noisy. Expect to use your lungs conversing with those you're with. So these times are when you want the typical party atmosphere. For a more relaxed (and quiet) time for enjoying the view and having a conversation while you eat, just pick another time. They do have a bar to enjoy alcoholic or non alcoholic concoctions. Along with inside dining, they have a lovely glass-enclosed dining area that provides a panoramic view overlooking the beautiful blue Belton Lake, and also have outside dining on a deck with the same view.“
