48 Best American Restaurants near Wellington

“Haley(buttercup) is the most professional waitress. Always a pleasure to be seared at her table!“

“This has long been a favorite and lately it just seems to have gotten better. My wife and I are there weekly enjoying dishes like Chicken Skewers or a salad with salmon or shrimp added. My personal favorite is the Kobe Burger with bacon,arugula and garlic aioli. Delicious and my favorite burger in Fort Collins. Be sure to have pommes frites with your burger. Wonderful frites and highly addictive. The food is always good and the staff friendly. An excellent place for lunch or dinner“

“What a delightful place for groups, brunch, lunch or a special occasion. So many beautiful areas of the farmhouse and fantastic farm-fresh food and fun variety of drinks! Wonderful people run this place and provide jobs and support to families and the community and so happy to help support small businesses like these however we can 🙌🏻“

“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.“

“I recently stopped by EverOpen Cafe and had the Country Fried Steak — and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was perfectly breaded, tender, and smothered in rich, flavorful gravy. The portion size was generous, and the sides were classic diner comfort at its best.
What really stood out was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in. Our food came out promptly, and every interaction felt personal and welcoming — like visiting a favorite neighborhood spot.
If you’re craving hearty, home-style comfort food with great service and a cozy diner vibe, EverOpen Cafe’s Country Fried Steak is a must-try!“

“2 for 1 double butterburgers is a great coupon value. And I love a good chocolate malt. I like everything on the menu. *Edit* I ordered 2 double butterburgers to go add ketchup. I got home and only beef patties and cheese. No veggies at all, no mayo no ketchup, just plain. I fed them to my dog. Won't be back“

“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!“

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

“Came here for the first time on Saturday and had the best experience. The food, the music, and atmosphere was great! My server Aleah recommended plenty of great beers and was happy to help me find the perfect one. Will definitely be back soon to try the gluten free brownie she recommended as well :)“

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

“Let me first say, Lauren, our server, is phenomenal. Her menu knowledge and friendly nature made for my first visit here a wonderful experience.

Next, the food and drinks! Our bartender made the best, most fresh espresso martini I have personally ever had, rivaling some other speciality bars here in FoCo. Our corned beef and hash was excellent— hot, spiced and salted, and plated with care. No weird fringe of fat on the meat, the potatoes were crisp yet tender, nothing left our mouth dry or chalked, and the preserves served with our toast balanced out the savory meal with the light sweetness of a fresh compote rather than a jarred jelly off the shelf.

My partner recommended the Emporium based off of his first visit there alone and I know I very well can do the same. Come early and on a weekday for a quiet ambiance, professional and kind service, and delicious food. Come at happy hour for amicable chatter, friendly conversation with your server, and delicious dinner food.

Come anytime! The Emporium American Brassiere is absolutely worth your dollar and time.“

“I can't believe we had never been in. We read about the fried Gouda and had to come see it in person. I suggest getting an extra cup of dipping sauce. The gentleman next to us was so impressed, he ordered himself some. The taps are so plentiful that even several tapped kegs didn't stop us from getting something we really liked! We found parking, and a seat at the bar with no wait, on a nice Sunday afternoon in FoCo. That's something, already! The potato was pretty full, so they were busy! Dean was really welcoming and great at his job. Really unique building with an interesting history. Come see it if it's been a while😅“

“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 :)“

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

“Was always curious as a Texan to try this place out, and let me tell you that this place is one of the best Barbecue spots I've been to here in Colorado. After hearing from the manager saying y'all were going to Texas to try the BBQ there and bring back that Texan feel, y'all did that perfectly, the food is amazing the staff always super friendly, I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for a great BBQ spot to hit this one up!“

“How often do you find a dedicated gluten free kitchen AND absolutely mouthwatering tasty food? this is the only place I've found that I will eat anything without reservation as someone with Celiac, and the food is 10/10. they also have super tasty cider, live performances, and a super cool vibe. this has quickly become my favorite haunt!“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“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“

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

“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)“

“Being a second place connected to DC Oakes, I was expecting the same high level of.food and service. Unfortunately, the chicken in my salad was a little dry and my daughter's nachos with flavourless pork was disappointing. Our server, a bartender by nature, tried to do her best. The menus are included.

Update 3/27/26- Big rebound - Chicken Tenders with the homemade buffalo sauce was excellent. Do the house Coconut Porter. My son had the Gonzo burger and he said it was outstanding.“

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Amazing Burgers, Amazing Shakes!“

“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?! 😋😎“

“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.“

“Great food!!!! 😋😋😋😋😋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“This is truly one of my favorite places in town! It’s just such a great place to get a beer and some grub. Truly an awesome spot to hang! We watched the broncos come back from a 26 point deficit and I wouldn’t want to watch it anywhere else!! I highly recommend this bar to anyone!!“

“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!!“

“Best wings in the whole world!!“

“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. :)“

“We had an excellent meal at Little on Mountain tonight. Our second time. Food was nothing less than amazing. The combination of flavors in each dish was expertly done. Another highlight was our waiter Ryan. He was a pleasure to have at our table. He was fun to talk to, but most importantly he knew EVERY dish and cocktail down to every last detail. He did an excellent job of pairing wine as well. Thanks for a great night out!“

“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!“

“The dessert drinks at this bar are off the chart we had a couple of chocolate martinis. We’ve been in search of an amazing martini bar for a while and this blew us away. I gotta say whether you’re drinking a dirty martini or a chocolate martini this is a place to stop in and check out.!!“

“We came in here for a random night and stumbled across Billy and he was so so sweet and really took care of us and he was absolutely lovely. Will definitely come back here and if I ever do and when I do, I will always ask for this kind, kind man.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere . Food was quick and delicious ! The young men working here were very quick, polite and efficient in seating me and my two little girls. . I will definitely be back again . Thank you guys for some a great brunch experience!“

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

“One of the best bars in Fort Collins! The pool tables are fun and cheap. Drinks are quick to get at the bar. I come here on Tuesdays for the 3$ burgers which for 3 dollars are pretty great! They're not a small patty or small burger. Great vibes and they always have deals going out throughout the week. Recommend to check it out!“

“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!“
