American Restaurants near Westbrook

“As always, the food and service at Cafe Routier was excellent. We went to CR for my birthday and I had the steak frittes - my favorite meal at CR. The steak was cooked just right and the frittes were great. My partner had the butternut squash ravioli which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also, the wine list provides many choices for wines at all price points. Finally, the service was attentive and professional. Overall, a wonderful experience.“

“Stopped in and had the best chili dog I’ve ever eaten in my life! Perfection!“

“We were here on vacation and dined here twice in the 4 days we stayed at the resort.

The vegetarian options are limited but all of them are delicious, freshly made and portions are decent sized too.

Beet salad is really good. Quesadilla is recommended

The cocktails
Water's edge punch is a must try.
Paloma and spicy margarita are the second best.

People are kind and attentive.

Don't forget to get French fries with cocktails and take them to the beach! Have a blast!“

“There needs to be a 100 star option on Google. This place is SO GOOD!!!
We came back a second day and if we're in the area longer, we would be back every day!
Small breakfast café where you can watch the cook make your meal on the other side of the counter. Everything is made to order and there is a ton to choose from. Based on what we saw, you can't go wrong! Everything was absolutely delicious, our kid even scraped his plate! The best breakfast out we've ever had.“

“Love the Deck and LOVE the fact they pay attention to not serving those under age. More establishments need to be aware of this and enforce it! The Deck is a wonderful place! Great bartenders, great service, great food, and great overall atmosphere. Other patrons are always friendly and just there to enjoy themselves and have a good time! Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a laid back place to enjoy a drink. Plenty of space to move about and plenty of parking as well!“

“Absolutely outstanding! 5 star experience from start to finish! Our hostess was a gem! Very kind..Our server Peter was a professional.. made some wonderful suggestions on wine and appetizers! And one of the most important parts was the food! It’s a must try! Memories were made! Can’t wait to go back and enjoy a beautiful experience if they’ve gave 10 stars the Essex would get an 11 cheers“

“This is a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ restaurant for sure from the Food which was mouth watering to the service and atmosphere a fantastic place to eat! You won't find a better steak around. I can't say enough about how pleased I was tonight with everything . Hats off to Jack and Nancy I highly recommend it“

“Very good dining experience. food, service and atmosphere get a big thumbs up 👍“

“Excellent!! Crab cake appetizer was the "best I've ever had" according to my son. There were four of us and all were very pleased. I've been twice and looking forward to going back. This restaurant is definitely the place to go when you want to take your time between courses and enjoy the food and people you are with. I like the 20% service charge(tip) added to bill. Keeps paying thoughtless as service is excellent. 5 stars on everything!“

“A Rustic Gem with Unforgettable Seafood and Service!

My dining experience at The Log Cabin Restaurant deserves every one of its five stars. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was captivating—it successfully blends rustic charm with a touch of elegance, making for a cozy yet sophisticated setting. Even the restrooms were spotless, which always speaks volumes about an establishment's commitment to cleanliness.
Our afternoon started with incredibly generous complementary side dishes. We were first served a refreshing bowl of vegetables with a lovely four seasons dressing and garlic cream, followed by a large, comforting bowl of pasta topped with excellent tomato sauce and freshly baked crisp bread with butter.This impressive start really set the stage for the rest of the meal.
For our main courses, the quality and quantity were truly excellent and generous. I highly recommend the Baked Scrod, which was perfectly prepared and flaky. We also ordered the twin lobster tails, which were succulent and served with a perfectly baked potato, plenty of melted butter, and sour cream. Everything was fresh, hot, and seasoned beautifully.
Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. Our hostess, Amy, was exceptionally helpful and displayed a wonderfully pleasant attitude, ensuring we felt welcome and taken care of throughout our visit.
The Log Cabin Restaurant is an absolute must-try if you're looking for delicious seafood, generous portions, and a beautiful, unique dining environment. We will certainly be back!“

“Wanted to take a second to share my opinion and experience at Donahue’s. I can’t say enough good about our experience. We were super impressed with the service, the food and the staff. What impressed me most was the owner. He was right there to help his staff and actually served us our meal. He was very kind and welcoming. I will definitely return and highly recommend this establishment. Thank you.“

“We had the most amazing meal sent to our hotel. Tuna crudo, crab salad, strip steak and zabaione; ( custard desert). It was delicious. If you can try his cooking“

“The drink prices were very reasonable. There's karaoke 🎤 which is always fun to watch/listen to even if don't participate. First time visit and had a great time. Will definitely visit again when in area.“

“Always loved this place. Food and service amazing! Always stop here on my way through town.“

“Amazing service from the moment I walked through the doors. I had a table of 7 booked for my birthday meal and couldn’t have wished for better service! Food was amazing as always and the atmosphere was great! 😊 Thank you little pub!“

“5 of us went for lunch yesterday, Haley & the kitchen knocked it out of the park. None of the other guys had ever been before,all said they'd be back. So laid back, not at all stuffy. Don't ever change.“

“My husband and I went to Aspen the other night for our wedding anniversary. We had our rehearsal dinner there 4 years ago and were blown away by the food.. well, once again, they nailed it! It was delicious!! Not only was the food good, but our waiter, Joe M (funny, same name as my husband 😅), was wonderful! We will definitely be back again!!“

“Everything was great about our dinner and experience!! The atmosphere sitting outside and having dinner was fantastic! Our server was great!! Personable, friendly, knowledgeable and not intrusive, just the way it should be! Had a nice chat with her! Our drinks were delicious and the dessert was a perfect treat. Would really love to return here again soon!!“

“Very good chow and good service, 5 stars!“

“1st time here and wow was everything from the appetizer to the main course top notch dining.“

“Terrific location in a small New England town bordering the Connecticut River. Excellent food, wine and comfortable rooms.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant since I was very young. The food has remained amazing. the cocktails and draft list are great & they give you a generous wine pour! Try to avoid the dining room if you see a lot of families with kids, lots of uncontrollable kids running around as of recently & the staff doesn't do anything. This is a family friendly atmosphere....but not when other diners experiences are being disrupted.“

“Chelsey does it right. Ambiance, staff/service, food quality/quantity, and pricing. Brunch, happy hour, dinner...everything excellent. With so many mediocre restaurants out there, Village Bistro makes dining out truly special. And...Chelsey makes the most creative delicious drinks! Thank you for a consistently excellent experience!“

“Such great service but even more so, the chefs are incredible with their creativity and delivery of unique and delicious food. Liv's is an oasis away from home....they do so much to make dinner special every time. Thank you all.“

“Big Thank You to Alex who handled our reservation & table of 24. Great, friendly service & he juggled a lot so we really appreciated it. Food & drinks were very good. Our 1st time there - great atmosphere! Definitely check it out.“

“Food is awesome and the staff is great! Food is cooked fresh and worth the wait! Lori is amazing!! I highly recommend!!“

“So happy they are here! The foos is always good and the servers are always friendly and welcoming!!! Thank you for bringing a great restaurant to this town!!!“

“Server was great and accommodating. Food was great! Will definitely visit again!“

“Otter Cove Restaurant is one of our go to restaurants here in town. The atmosphere is really really nice with a large dining area or a smaller more intimate bar area. And it is spotless!!!! The staff is professional and friendly*****
The food is excellent. Great choices and fairly reasonable for our taste. I often get the OC salad with a side of chicken or shrimp. One of my fav salads by far- just a great combination of apples, salad, etc. it’s large so I always bring half home. My husband goes for the salmon with their sides- always plenty of food.
You will not be disappointed.“

“The best place in Coastal Connecticut“

“I celebrated my birthday at the Seal tonight. We haven't been in a while. I had the Short Rib Ravioli, Mom had the Serloin Steak, my wife had Tuna and our son a grilled cheese. Everything was delicious! Our server said she was new, but did a great job. We finished with warm Carmel apple pie! It was the perfect ending to a great night!“

“great beer selection and bar food is unique and creative“

“Great place ! Stopped on our way back home to Mass! Great service ,food and atmosphere!“

“I had the bison burger with sweet potato fries. The dipping sauce for the fries was amazing. My server Jackie was great about never letting our glasses become empty and making sure to help out with my daughter’s allergies!“

“Honestly originally came here thinking it was a typical tavern. Left having one of the best food experiences I have ever had! The food was amazing and so perfectly prepared I have been back countless times since and am always recommending them to friends and family. Definitely need to fit in a date night here really soon!!!“

“We were going to a show at Ivoryton playhouse (excellent) so found this very nice local restaurant! Server was excellent explained the menu clearly and we decided to have a spinach omelet delicious , home fries were fantastic. Portions were large.i had steak and eggs Steak was cooked just like I ordered ! Biggest problem was which homemade muffins to take with us to hotel. They all looked delicious and they were. Definitely coming back at the end of October Don’t miss this gem“

“I have been going here for at least 11 years. The food never disappoints. I love the daily specials and holiday special orders. Fresh and delicious. The bakery is excellent, the cookies are irresistible. Quaint gourmet sandwich, coffee, and gift shop in downtown Chester. Highly recommend, outdoor seating. Always friendly service.“

“My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were absolutely blown away. We tend to end up with less than stellar dining experiences and service, but the Brushmill was outstanding! The service was impeccable, they congratulated us on our anniversary (which was a note on the reservation) and gave us a complimentary Prosecco toast to start the evening. Our server was top notch, we never found ourselves in need of a thing. We started with drinks after the Prosecco toast- a mint greyhound and a tequila old fashion, both of which were well balanced with beautiful presentation. For the appetizer, we got the scallops…. Out of this world! Our server commented they were his favorite, and after trying them it’s no surprise! This may have been the best scallop dish I have ever had. If you go, GET THE SCALLOPS and thank me later! For dinner I had the pasta dish and added chicken to it and my boyfriend had the steak frites. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The brown butter sauce was light and flavorful at the same time and the hazelnuts in the pasta dish paired beautifully with the brussle sprouts and sage. My boyfriend’s steak was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. The amazing meal and service were complimented by the absolutely beautiful building. We both love the rustic industrial vibe, pairing the history of the building and the elegance of the atmosphere perfectly. We will definitely be back and telling all our friends about this hidden gem. Thank you for being a stupendous addition to our evening.“

“Hungry after a few hours at Gillette Castle, we were looking for lunch/dinner. We had a wonderful experience at Pattaconk! Our waitress was friendly and attentive to my dietary needs (Celiac’s). We had a burger, quesadilla & Nashville chicken stripes. My burger had a gf bun & was delicious, husb & daughter loved the stripes & quesadilla. Restaurant had a nice, chill atmosphere, everyone enjoying drinks & food. We will be back when out in the area.“

“We have been enjoying Chow for years and everything we have ever had from them has been delicious but yesterday… Father’s Day, they went above and beyond! They were packed and after waiting for a while for my take out order (understandable for a busy night) they confessed and profusely apologized because in the rush of the busy evening one of my pizzas had been dropped. Without missing a beat they promised my pizzas would be remade and delivered to my house…. Half hour away!!! That is stellar customer service!!! So, amazing food AND wonderful customer service, what more could anyone want?!“

“Great food; relax atmosphere“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday brunch at Fresh Salt! The lobster extravaganza had several unique and delicious selections and abundant lobster. We had a nice table overlooking the water. Our waitress, Kristen, was excellent! All the servers and cooks were extremely helpful and friendly. My wife has a gluten allergy and she had several delicious choices and the staff also made another special dish to accommodate her allergy. We felt very welcomed and will definitely be back in the future!“

“The best lobster roll and clam chowder I ever had in my life and I am very happy.“
