50 Best American Restaurants near Pleasant Grove

“This place is a hidden gem in Pleasant Grove. 15-20 minutes from Birmingham and with the drive. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. The food is very fresh and delicious, you can tell there's a lot of love put into it. There are American choices for the less adventurous eaters and children's menu, also vegetarian options! My personal favorites are the falafel plate, Greek salad, tahini sauce, hummus and baklava. All homemade! Go try it, you won't be disappointed!“

“Mr. Floyd allegedly a new hire was an example of proper training, whether from home or job orientation. He as respectful, cordial, attentive and sociable; attributes that will take anyone to higher heights. He handled the position like a seasoned professional. Oh!, by the way the food was delicious and cooked to perfection, complements to the kitchen staff. Not to be forgotten, the MOD stopped by our table with greetings.“

“I love wings plus. Out of all of the Wings joints I've been to Wings Plus in Bluff Park tops them all. I have never had anything less than freshly made delicious food and I don't just order wings. The place is always neat. I know restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic and have a hard time finding people to work. I've never been treated anything less than respectful and kind. The guys in there are great“

“We all enjoyed our lunch together ❤️ Garlic Steak Melt with Onion Rings, Fish and Chios, Steak Sandwiches . Food was great and our server, Havyn, was very good!“

“We visited this great spot in the gorgeous Ross Bridge neighborhood to try something new for my son's birthday meal. Because of the intense Alabama heat, we chose to sit inside, though they have a really nice screened-in patio available. The restaurant is intimate but well laid out, featuring a couple of distinct dining areas and a bar.

Since it was our first time, our server, Daniella, recommended the candied bacon bombs to start. They came with a side of cheese curds, and both were absolutely delicious. Even as small as the curds were, they had a perfect cheese pull!

For our mains, I ordered the cowboy burger with an added egg and a side of sweet potato fries, while my son chose the shrimp and grits. My burger was incredible, a solid 9.5 out of 10. My son rated his shrimp and grits a 7, though he has a lot of experience with that dish to compare it to.

Daniella provided fantastic service, checking in at just the right times without hovering. I later realized I forgot to ask if they do anything special for birthdays, but honestly, my son was probably glad I forgot!

Overall, it was a great meal, excellent service, and a very cool environment.“

“My food was good but the wait in the drive thru wasn’t . Wait was too long.“

“It had been a long time since we had a sneaky Pete's hot dog, so, we stopped at a drive thru at Forestdale. I got two chili cheese 🧀 dogs with fries 🍟, my wife got two sneaky Pete's, and i ate one.of them! They were really good and the 🍟 were hot 🔥 it was just a good lunch! People at.the window were very nice and I could see inside the kitchen, my truck sits really high, it.was.very clean. Give sneaky Pete's a try, I think you will enjoy it! Nuff said..“

If you’re in the area I highly recommend this as a good stop and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Annie’s kitchen food overall amazing. I had a brunch catering for graduation. The food was amazing overall 9/10. I would definitely use Annie again. She was professional and quick when it came to responding to messages. Had great team to help her. I would 100% recommend for catering services. Thank you Annie.“

“I had lost hope in Ihops ... my last several visits to other locations especially the one closest to my home were horrible experiences. This IHOP was by far the best one I've been at in years. The service was friendly, attentive and professional. The restaurant was very clean. The wait for food was minimal and the taste was amazing. I only wished I lived closer to this location. So if you like me vowed to never go back to another IHOP... give this location a try... you won't be disappointed.“

“We had a phenomenal dinner at Brock’s. Huge shoutout to Chef Mark and our server, Diamond!!

Almost as soon as we were seated, the manager came over to talk to me about my dietary restriction. He explained that Chef Mark had seen the note on my reservation that I can’t have added salt and had already taken it into consideration. What really blew me away was that they actually went out of their way to prepare a special potato au gratin for me with no added salt. That kind of thoughtfulness and attention is so rare, and it meant more to me than they probably realized.

Chef Mark is truly AMAZING. My filet mignon was cooked absolutely perfectly. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best steaks I’ve had, even without added salt. The asparagus was also cooked perfectly, and the special potatoes were unbelievably delicious. It takes a truly talented chef to make food taste that good while working around a restriction, and Chef Mark absolutely nailed it.

And then there was Diamond, who made the whole experience even better. She was fantastic! She was attentive, funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to give us detailed descriptions of different dishes and told us which ones were her personal favorites, which we absolutely love when a server does. It made the experience feel much more personal rather than just ordering off a menu.

Between Chef Mark’s incredible care and talent, Diamond’s wonderful service, and the manager making a point to personally check in with us, we felt genuinely taken care of from the moment we sat down. Brock’s should be very proud of this team. We will absolutely be back!“

“Everything I ate was delicious. I had the # 6 and the dipping sauce was Double O and I thought it was yummy. Also got a vanilla milkshake afterwards and it reminded me of homemade ice cream.“

“My friends and I had the best time being served by Dominique at Cracker Barrel in Bessemer. Servers are hit and miss these days in giving good service, so we were so delighted to have such a wonderful and attentive waitress who gave us excellent service. Dominique was so friendly and outright charming and made us laugh so hard. I haven't had such a good time out in a long time. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. I was not disappointed either as the food was excellent. Thank you, Dominique, for being so great at your job. I will always ask for you when I come to that Cracker Barrel.“

“Wings and okra are delicious Just need to clean their front door it’s covered in dirt and gunk It’s filthy If customers can see that I wonder what is in the kitchen..bathroom you can smell it entering the door and today I saw a huge roach crawling around inside. I probably won’t be eating here again.“

“The food and service are just right. My son and I loved the wings and okra. Highly recommend, everyone needs some A&D Wings (and things)“

“3 server Sleep place nasty. waited for 10 minutes for some one to come to front to tell me the waiting to clean the worst crew I ve ever came across in a Waffle house“

“it was the best food ever“

“I ordered through Uber Eats and the food was hot and fresh but I was disappointed when I got regular fries instead of Mex fries. The staff was so pleasant when I called to inform them of the error. One of the managers asked for my address & personally drove my Mex fries to me. That was most definitely above & beyond customer service.“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“This is the restaurant inside the Renaissance hotel and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. If you used to getting those homemade omelets made when you go on a Island resort well guess what you can get that here where they make them fresh all the food was prepared fantastically and I enjoyed every bit of it and I suggest you stop in there for breakfast and enjoy a wonderful meal I'm not sure about lunch or dinner but I could definitely speak that the breakfast was off the chain.“

“This Longhorn is very good. My ribeye steak was made exactly as ordered. The salad was crisp and delicious not o mention the hot, creamy sweet potato with butter and cinnamon sugar. I generally have leftovers after dining at a restaurant but I cleaned my plate! Majestic our server was very attentive and took very good care of us.“

“I’ve been coming to this particular restaurant my entire life. I’ve never really had any problems there. I came Saturday to get a family meal to have while watching football. The gentleman at the drive thru was so nice! And, the food was on point! Y’all are rocking it!!“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“First off!!! They finally got a new building the food tastes much much better. I haven’t been inside yet but I know it’s better than the older building across the street. Friendly people and I’ll be back tomorrow to grab a couple of pies. 😋“

“A+! food is delicious, cool place to hang out“

“let me just say, from going here for years this is probably the best this restaurant has been in a whole. The food is hot and presented really nice, the area is clean, and the staff checks on you throughout your meals. I slept on this applebees definitely a really nice one to enjoy yourself and have a good meal“

“JT’s is fairly basic as far as hotel bars go, though I’d think the renaissance would hold a higher standard. The food was excellent; fresh and delicious, just limited in variety. The drink menu was elevated but felt extremely short for a cocktail lounge. The staff did a great job, but were clearly struggling to keep up with the crowd.

Vegetarian options: Limited standard menu, so veg options are extremely limited.“

“So happy to have a great wing place in Hueytown. My waist line is in trouble because I have become addicted to their Honey Lemon and Garlic parmesan. The Honey BBQ is delicious to. Making my way through the menu, but definitely a place to try. The customer service is friendly as well.“
