15 Best American Restaurants near Calera

“It was a great Winery while it lasted. Sad to see it go!“

“Love all of them who are working“

“10/10 recommend. We had the best experience here. The food was all perfect, but the staff made the difference. Particularly FOH member Don and waitress Stephanie. Above and beyond.“

“We stopped here to eat before going to Polar Express in Calera....definitely a great decision! Never heard of it before but it was close so we gave it a shot. Casual and bar type atmosphere, pool tables, and great tasting food! I recommend the Avocado Chicken (fried) and the fries are AWESOME! We will make a special trip from Blount county to come back!“

“The last two years, all the Milo locations I’ve visited have really gone downhill. Nothing like the previous decades. Shame! Staff at Calera was non responsive. Cahaba heights , burgers were dried out like they had been sitting and fries as well. Sorry to say that too many of this experience for me to go back.“

“I just left this establishment after eating and all I can say is that it was possibly the best waffle house experience I ever had. I walk in, it's raining outside and a bit chilly, but the inside is so warm. I take a seat and wait for one of the waitresses to take my order. It was slightly busy for them at 2AM, but I was in no rush at all. This kind black woman, I don't know her name, took my order. She was very kind with me and gave me the best quality service ever. She brought out my food, gave me a nice hot cup of coffee, and gave me my ticket. The food itself was amazing. Idk who the cook was, but he did amazingly on my meal. My waitress refilled my coffee and was very pleasant with me!! I paid and left, I wish I could've tipped her more, but I'm low on funds atm. This experience overall was amazing. I will be coming back for my 2AM cravings next time!!“

“Cashier Hayle was awesome“

“Had a great meal, best shrimp and grits ever, great decor and atmosphere, very prompt and courteous service, throughly enjoyable experience. Will come back“

“Great birria, I tried birria tacos and instant noddles with birria, both definitely recommended I'll go again and try the pizza birria as well, even tho the place is inside of a gas station, was neat clean every table, and staff just nice, food is cheap“

“The food and the service was excellent!“

“The first time I was a student was in 1996, and I’m finally going to graduate in 2025. The Anna Irving dining hall is much more light and airy now than it was then. It was all dark wood panel. I was amazed at the quality of food and I actually look forward to eating there again.“

“I watched one of the workers fixed my food right after coming for me and will smoke and cigarette and then use gloves or wash their hands.This place.I will not recommend anybody go.This is the worst sneaky piece.I have ever been to but if you're nasty and like nastiness go ahead and go be my quest“

“Atmosphere is that of typical chain, clean. Food is good. Sevice is slow. Been to this location on 4 occasions and the servers tend to gather in groups for extended periods, leaving you wondering if your food items sit without prompt service.
My main gripe, FOR THE LOVE AND ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, PLEASE, PLEASE BUT SOME FREAKING COFFEE MUGS and keep them washed and ready for service. Every time we visit we are told by the server that there are no coffee mugs. Or half the table gets mugs and the others get bar coffee cups (like for Bailey's).“

“The service and food both are always really good. It's improved so much since the new owner ship“
