50 Best American Restaurants near Wellington

“We had the best lunch here today! Codie was our server and she was so kind & attentive to us while we were dining. The decor inside is super cool, too! Definitely a slice of small town America“

“We have been looking for a new 'go-to' place in Ft Collins, and this is it! We out regularly, and this was the best meal we have had out in a long time. The salad and soup were herby nutty, and well balanced, and the Prime Ribeye was perfect. Even the fingerling potatoes had a charred-grilled twist that we hadn't experienced before, and loved it. The wait and cook staff were the best! We look forward to coming back soon.“

“Absolutely loved our visit to The Farmhouse at Jessup Farm! The ambience is so cozy and charming , the perfect farmhouse vibe. I had the avocado toast (so fresh and flavorful!) and my hubby had what he called the best French toast ever. And don't even get me started on their biscuits... buttery, warm, and absolutely to die for. Service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be back!“

“We absolutely love 415! My husband and I always split the Beat Bowl and When Pigs Fly - it is the best combo. Everything on the menu is fresh and fabulous including their drinks. This is definitely a hidden gem in FoCo and we tell everyone we can think of about this spot. We wish 415 great success and hope you’ll eat here too. The best! (And fantastic service every time of course)“

“I would like to give a review about Isaiah and Leah. Leah had great customer service and the atmosphere was welcoming Leah was very patient well taking our order .Isaiah has a wonderful and joyful spirit and is very great at his job, we just wanted to leave a review because they were SOO wonderful thank you“

“I really liked everything about the Ever Open Cafe. I ordered the Longhorn which is an open faced double burger smothered in red chili and shredded cheddar cheese. I had mine with grilled onions with no lettuce or tomato and a side of onion rings. I also had a strawberry milkshake. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. I also ordered a Denver omelette and liver and onions to go (I really don’t like cooking so I have breakfast and dinner for tomorrow). The cafe was clean and comfortable. I also appreciated the service that I received from my server (please remember to tip). I would recommend Ever Open Cafe for good comfort food that’s fairly priced and friendly service.“

“Nothing but love, art, inclusion, tasty food & drinks, in this place!!!!“

“bad service but we like the chicken and ribs so we order take out. tonight we had a salad in our takeout which was awful and full of previously frozen and wilted lettuce. Called to speak to a manager to let them know to check their salad. on hold for 20 min...then they picked up and hung up on me. 3 strikes you are out. incredibly poor service for a guest service industry. and now after posting I do NOT recommend, this posts as I recommended...haha. do yourself a favor and stay away“

“Great food, friendly staff, good beer….cool atmosphere!!!“

“Had a great time with my daughters. Food was delicious!“

“For any of the reviews that are saying less than stellar, y’all must’ve gone to the wrong place!! On our four day vacation we had breakfast here three days. The food is so good, servings are huge and the service is above reproach. We had rachel every time by pure chance and she was amazing!“

“Always delicious! I love the change up in the menu. Happy hour seafood and drink deals are awesome 👏“

“So it was a little odd. At first, the hostess tried to seed us at the furthest table in the back with no people, practically in the alley. And we said hey can we have one of those tables up front? She said well those servers are overburdened and it will be slower. Which was fine with us. However, we got our drinks quickly and the food came fairly quickly too. My lobster roll was great as were the brussel sprouts.“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere keep up the good work.“

“Both the food and service were amazing! I highly recommend it!“

“We had our anniversary dinner there and it was fabulous. We were gifted a glass of champagne in honor of our anniversary. The staff gave us attention, but left us alone to enjoy our conversation and only came at the appropriate intervals. The food was outstanding - fresh salads and the pork was exquisite, not to mention that outstanding cheese board. We are looking forward to our next visit. Pricey, but very well worth it.“

“The bar keep here deserves a standing ovation. This dude is an absolute machine — moving nonstop for over an hour, serving everyone at the bar, filling tickets, cleaning, running dishes, clearing glasses, prepping for servers — without missing a single beat. It’s wild to watch. He’s got that old-school pride in the craft, handling business with total precision and speed.

He pours beer perfectly — none of that “too much foam, not enough beer” nonsense — just perfect head every time, cold glass, clean prep, spotless station. It’s like watching someone run a symphony behind the bar.

Also, pro tip: the happy hour wings are worth destroying, skip the fried gouda, and just enjoy the vibe. Between the energy, the beer selection, and that bar keep, this place is an easy 5/5.“

“Solid pub fare, but the standout was the service and the ciders. Liam, the GM, was fantastic. He was on his own at the bar, but didn't fail to greet us with a smile when we came in, and was quick to help us whenever we approached the bar. Scrumpy's is the home of Summit Ciders, and theirs are fantastic. There really is something for every palate. Liam convinced us (it didn't take much) to try a flight of all 16 ciders for $28, which is a great value as a separate flight of 8 is $17. Each taster is good for several sips, and since we were heading back home to SD, we didn't need any other drink with our meal. We took several ciders home with us, and if they didn't have any 4-packs left they were able to provide a choice of growlers or growlettes. Liam was again amazing, juggling our cider order while helping other customers, and still helped us bring some of our ciders to our car. He even threw in a couple of cute stickers with their hedgehog logo, and some BOGO cocktail cards. We'll definitely have to try their cider based cocktails when we inevitably return.“

“The tacos are amazing! Love the new location with it's fresh, clean look, too. We tried 5 different tacos and loved them all - they have all the traditional choices along with several creative selections. The staff and service was friendly and attentive. Just go :)“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“The staff at Ace Gillett’s is what makes it truly exceptional, but their cocktails are as good as they come - and the food, delicious! It’s a place I consider home. Love it.“

“Really awesome in every way! As good as the Rio!!“

“The best waitress there very kind and helpful attentive very plesent lady all the girls that work there are good they all deserve a big raise they work hard l would definitely go back l give them a ,10 thank you“

“Maeve was amazing ! great service !!“

“Awesome family owned tavern with great pizza and beer selection! Check it out!“

“Zoe was extremely welcoming and nice and the food was great! Went with some friends and they also very much enjoyed it! I got the pork au jus and it was pretty good and my fiance got the bacon marmalade burger and it was EXCELLENT! Thank you for a great afternoon!“

“very friendly staff, we drive from Casper wyoming and enjoy stopping every time we are in town. they have the best sweet tea in the west (coming from a former southerner)“

“We were treated so wonderfully! Knowledgeable staff walked us through each dish and recommendations from appetizers to desserts. Everything was prepared to perfection and was so flavorful and rich. And even though we were stuffed we had to have dessert! The four of us each ordered something and shared and it was on point! We will absolutely be back! Our server Arianna and the GM Kyle made our night and each get 5 stars! Thank you so much for the best night :)“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food, atmosphere and staff are top notch. I’ll definitely be back and if you’ve never been - what are you waiting for?! 😋😎“

“We had a party of 5. Wasn't any problem getting service or a seat at 4:30/5:00 on a Saturday. Service was above and beyond (maybe too much attention) and the food is always good here. The atmosphere was nostalgic because of the artwork on the walls. I actually brought a car here for a repair estimate way back in the 90's when it was a filling station. Overall really good experience.“

“For over 20 years now, LJs has been a regular hangout for me. I’ve met many people there and look forward to the next 20. (If Deano can still hang with us at 86 yo, then so can I!!) Their food menu has a nice variety and daily specials are always well done. This pub truly emanates a feeling of family. It’s amazing how many long-term employees are there, which is a direct reflection of the ownership and managers caring for their staff and customers. If you’ve never been to LJs or you’re just visiting FC, please stop in and join us for a pint! Cheers and Slainte!!“

“Great place! Relaxed atmosphere with superb service. The homemade Bloody Mary's ranked #1 for my taste buds!! Thank you Tim!!“

“First time at Fort Collins and mu husband want to try some different beer. We stopped for lunch. I had great chicken tenders! My husband did a sampling of 4 flight beers. Enjoyed all 4! He had the burnt end sandwich with sweet potato fries. Meal was great and the service was wonderful! Thank you!“

“Cheese curds. Little balls of heaven. Very reasonable prices! Got two orders of fries like an hour apart and both were delicious! Food is consistent. Got them quick too! Boy. Were they good. Just in between a steak fry and regular fry. Soft inside, crispy outside. Perfectly seasoned too!“

“We came up visiting for an Illenium show at red rocks, but decided to venture up north with friends to try this place out. The atmosphere was so cozy and welcoming. The staff was prompt and accommodating, and the drinks were all amazing! If you’re looking for good martinis with a cute area to match give this place a try!“

“Great food!!!! 😋😋😋😋😋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Neighbourhood eatery vibes with Michelin star quality! But not fancy, just how food is supposed to be like! If you are a foodie book the chefs table (you sit next to each other) for the extra experience!! The chefs are great to chat with! Service is outstanding! Make sure that Robert is your waiter!!

It was my 3rd time there and I am already looking forward to my 10th time!“

“The Crown Pub is one of our go-to restaurants in FoCo. The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Our kids regularly ask to go there for special occasions.“

“I went in for a stack of pancakes a few days ago. MMMMMMM! Thanks Chef Beth! The waitress was sweet. Glad that April is gone. :)“

“Great food and amazing service!! Drinks were fabulous and we WILL be back!!!“

“I recently moved away from Fort Collins so I am going through and leaving reviews for all of my favorite eats places. MCHC is god-tier! Their food is great and their support of local artists through their block party event is fantastic. I had the privilege of meeting their owner a few years back when I was driving for Lyft and got a ride request from him when he needed to go make sure their Prospect location was locked up properly after he received notification that a door was left open. he tipped me very generously and it was genuinely a fun ride. It never surprised me that the atmosphere of MCHC had the same fun appeal whenever I ate there. I am definitely gonna visit next time I am in Fort Collins!“

“This place can be overrun with college kids, but it's basically on campus, so it'd be foolish to assume otherwise. The food and drink prices are very reasonable. Great place to grab some food and some beverages while you watch some sports on their many televisions.“

“Best wings in the whole world!!“

“The Brooks (he earned that title) was amazing. You guys are lucky to have him. Highly recommend this place (when he is working) Service was prompt and accurate even when he was the only one there and the place was mostly full. The toddler size toilets are the only thing I could really complain about, but I made do“

“Amazing food, great service!“

“The food is amazing as always. Huge portions, absolutely delicious. My only complaint would be the music play list. It feels like I should be in the club instead of trying to enjoy a breakfast. I get that it's close to the campus, but maybe playing club music isn't a good choice. And it's loud, have to talk over it.“

“Great! I wish they had a location in Washington State!“

“We came here for a Green Bay Packers game and had a blast! The food was good. Drinks were cold. And this absolute legend Alex brought the energy and made the experience unforgettable. If you’re a Packers fan this is a must visit for a game!“

“My favorite bar to go and sit at during football season! They have great drinks and great food. Their wings are absolutely delicious and burger night on Tuesday is such a steal of a deal. Highly recommend the bartenders are the best and will always accommodate. Next time you need somewhere to watch sports go here!!“
