42 Best American Restaurants near Chelsea

“I had the MVP breakfast there this morning, and it was phenomenal. Food was hot and fresh and came out fast Mariah slayed on the grill. I was greeted with a smile by my server Starr. She went above and beyond for me. The establishment was very clean and friendly staff. This is my new go to breakfast spot. Way to go Huddle House.“

“Don’t really do hot dogs from a b&m especially when I’m on the road for work. (On the road as I live in Florida) But today I was. I stopped to get gas and decided I wanted hot dogs and lord did god answer me lol I saw the sign for sneaky Pete’s and decided to give them a try. If I’m being honest I really didn’t have high hopes or expectations for them. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The pricing and menu options were absolutely amazing considering that they specialize in hotdogs. They also had burgers which looked out of this world. I got the 2 spicy Pete’s and another one I don’t remember the name but it had EVERYTHING on there and let me tell you. These were the best hotdogs I’ve ever had in my life. Not over or under cooked. Fresh. Ingredients were quality and flavorful. If you’re just passing through or live in the area and don’t feel like cooking or want hotdogs, I whole heartedly suggest coming to sneaky Pete’s. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. If I’m ever in the area again, this’ll be the first place I stop.“

“Excellent service, amazing food, huge portions!“

“They have the friendliest drive through staff and super fast!! I have been one time at lunch where I had to wait on chicken, but a large group had come in before me. Love their biscuits-Cajun filet with pimento cheese is so good! Thank you!“

“Just passing through and stopped for a quick lunch. Service was outstanding with great recommendations! The food was delicious and fresh. The Apple Havarti sandwich was incredible and Hot Ham and Swiss was just as good. We will come back anytime we are in the area!!“

“Went here after a cheer competition! We had a large party and were set quickly! Our waitress had multiple large parties and was absolutely fabulous! Food was amazing! The kids enjoyed the outside area while waiting on food! Very accommodating to allergies and picky eaters! Highly recommend! Only con is that they don’t have one in Murfreesboro, TN!!“

“Amazing service. Amazing food. They have some OG restaurant people that work there that other stuff. If you haven’t been highly suggested.“

“We love this restaurant and had a phenomenal experience on 2 different occasions. Today they did a fantastic job for our son's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff is so friendly.

“Grilled or fried Chicken salad is the best!! Kids love the ice cream too!! Good gravy biscuits and fun signs to read!“

“Took a special friend for her first time here and she loved the experience. Natashia was our server and she did a fantastic job, I had the new menu item of grilled meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green string beans, everything was superb and she had the crab cake dinner with french fries and coleslaw which was her choice and she loved the crab cakes. Kudos to Natashia for making our evening worthy for enjoyment!!“

“The food is certainly good, but I definitely don’t recommend the Down Home. It’s an insultingly tiny amount of food. My wife and I both laughed when the server set it down in front of me—$13 for a main course smaller than most appetizers.“

“Enjoyed our meal! Nice change from our usual places.“

“We ate here for the 2nd time today. Great food, drinks, and service. Definitely a preference when passing through the area.“

“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!“

“Great service and food is always good.“

“Even got a cool 😎 magic show! Everyone was friendly! Good food.“

“Great atmosphere! The ham quiche is absolutely delicious“

“I am new to the area and saw this place today. They had slices of pound cake and mini pies. They might have had other items too but I only noticed these, they captured my attention right away. I purchased a mini sweet potato pie, key lime, and a pecan. I also purchased a slice of lemon pound cake. My 12 year old announced she didn’t like pound cake or pie… A couple of hours later I tried the sweet potato pie. The 12 year old asked for a taste and begged to have the rest. Tonight we equally ate the lemon pound cake. Both superb. We haven’t tried the other 2 minis yet, but have no doubt they will be equally delicious. This place had the most delicious sweet potato pie and even better than my own (really good) lemon pound cake. Prices are reasonable and they have fantastic employees.“

“Great place to meet friends or take the family. Love their wings, burgers, and queso. Atmosphere makes me think of an Irish pub. Great waitstaff. Very friendly. Always on my list of hangouts!“

“I went there for the first time today,I enjoyed a delightful mimosa and had the most amazing breakfast sandwiches in my entire life! The service,atmosphere,and food is amazing!!“

“I couldn't wait to get off work to eat at Waffle House on Christmas Day! Thanks, Waffle House for being open. 🤗“

“Love observing people bring their vision and craft to life. The atmosphere, team, and food they’ve passionately brought to life in this space is inspiring.“

“Favorite place of ours to spend a Friday or Saturday night! Great bar tenders and great company!“

“I have not been to On Tap Sports Cafe since they closed the Hoover location. I decided to try On Tap at Liberty Park but found the drive after taking exit 23 off I-459 is tedious due to all the stop signs going through the business district. Once you finally get there, it is great.  A real nice outside patio area which looked very inviting. Inside there is plenty of seating and TV’s for sports watching and a large bar. I think there is another bar on the other side of the restaurant. This is definitely larger than Hoover was. Our waitress Abigaille was excellent. I did not have to wait long for my next beer to arrive. Of course, I had to keep picking beers that they were out of, but there was still plenty more to choose from. Our food came out quickly and was very good. The sliders were cooked to perfection, and the fries were excellent. The pretzel bites were good. I plan on trying the US-280 location next to determine which restaurant is better. There is only a 2 minute, 3 mile difference between the 280 location versus Liberty Park from Hoover. I thought the destination time would be longer due to the traffic on US-280, but I am going to find out.“

“A thin crispy flatbread is amazing! I love the whole, fresh ingredients that are used in the dishes. But most of all it's a great place to go when I want to have a good conversation with a friend. I would say the quiet atmosphere is my favorite thing about seasons 52. “

“The Homewood location is fantastic. Food was great, quick service, extremely clean and tidy! I had only ever been to Irondale, but we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The customer service was top notch!“

“Entire staff exuberantly said Welcome to Waffle House when my husband and I walked in this morning! As soon as our order was put in, the cooks were on it and our food was ready in minutes! It was such a nice experience waiting for our food. Now headed home to enjoy Waffle house goodness! Keep being great good people! WAR EAGLE!“

“Breakfast always good and prompt. Coffee is hot and plentiful. Service is 5 star. Highly recommend Rebecca Whitmire!“

“The food is great and so is the service! We visit frequently to catch up with friends and clients.“

“What's to say...you either love it or hate it. I LOVE IT!!! I've been eating Milos for more years than I care to remember. Can anyone remember when they were 4 for $1. Love, love, love Burgers, fries & the tea!!! Mr. Carlton used to sell me Milo sauce in a 1/2 gallon milk jug for $2. I do miss seeing him flip those burgers.“

“Nasty bathrooms. Plus the service was lacking. She looked like it was her accident“

“We had a pleasant dinner here. The food quality was good. Unfortunately not everything on the menu was available. The steak was very delicious and perfect temperature. The service was very friendly and attentive.
It’s a little pricey but all in all good.“

“The food was great but I was sat next to staff who were ready to get off and had inappropriate conversations next to the table I was at with my family that we could hear. Also the waiter kept forgetting to bring things that were asked for back like to go boxes, to go drinks, the wrong drinks, condiments, things like that. I will come back because the food was delicious but next time I will ask to be moved to a different location.“

“I love eating dinner at Perry’s. Love the food and the atmosphere, everything is always good and fresh.“

“Just moved to Alabama from Florida. What a wonderful find this Cheesecake Factory was. As much as we love Southern Cooking here in Alabama, there is just so much Fried Food and BBQ a person can eat. Cheesecake Factory has an amazing variety of food and every Cheesecake Factory restaurant we have eaten in are always consistent. I’ll give this Bham find five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
