38 Best American Restaurants near Amelia Island

“We visited for breakfast and chose the buffet. The orange juice (fresh squeezed) was the BEST! The breakfast selection was amazing! Art, our waiter, even took our picture scenic ocean. What a delight!“

“The customer service is amazing at this resort! They went above and beyond to help us with our needs. Not only do they treat their guests great, but vendors! My family also spent a few days at the resort and made so many wonder memories because of the staff. Their pool is relaxing and offers an area perfect for kids. So many wonderful memories were made here and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Our recent dinner at Burlingame was an absolute delight, truly a celebration of amazing flavors and a wonderful way to mark our 35th anniversary! It's a beautiful restaurant inside. The exterior looks like a house but inside the decor is sophisticated. You will need reservations, it's very popular!

We could really tell the chef put a lot of care into every dish.
The crispy skin salmon entree was just delicious. The skin was perfectly golden and crispy, and the fish itself was so tender and flaky. The pork chop was another standout, with incredible flavor and a beautiful presentation. And the Asian-inspired octopus appetizer? It was tender, flavorful, and a fantastic way to start our meal.
We were also impressed with the generous portion sizes, ensuring we left feeling perfectly satisfied. The rustic bread served before the meal was wonderful and was just the right amount. But the real showstopper for us was the creme brulee. It was creamy and rich, exactly as it should be, and the caramelized top was absolutely perfect – a delicate, crackling layer that gave way with every spoonful. The fresh berries on top were a great touch. It was a sweet ending to a truly memorable evening.“

“Absolutely amazing!! We had an amazing waitress and overall was super good.“

“A thoroughly charming and popular spot. Great menu and excellent attention by staff. The food is ordinarily great. On this evening, the main courses (fish, chicken) were excellent, but the sides (carbs, veggies) were barely warm. Management was very considerate when billing. Definitely going back whenever we're in the area.“

“Another great meal yesterday at Kitchen 251. We finally had a chance to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and or meal.“

“We have been enjoying, the snack foods and full meals, besides our drinks during( It's 5 o'clock somewhere classes)... every other Wednesday night. The Alley is a fantastic Host for our Art Classes... and a perfect location for a small party or gathering... TV, Music, own bar tender, plenty of seating... lovely atmosphere, great in-house Beer too!“

“My daughter and I stopped in here for a girls night dinner. We ordered several items off of the small plates section and the food was phenomenal! Wish I could’ve eaten more. I’m not a beer drinker but cocktails were yummy also. Nice, clean environment and friendly staff! We will be back next trip!“

“Great spot for bar food! The chicken nachos and bacon tots were tasty, and the beer selection was solid with a good tap. Service was friendly and attentive. Only a couple of minor issues – there were a few bugs flying around, and one unfortunately landed in our nachos. It’d also be nice if the bar area had larger TVs or a few more for a better viewing experience. Overall, still a good place to grab a bite and some drinks in a laid-back atmosphere!“

“Great food, great service. Overpriced / small portions. The flounder was delicious but disappointed there was not really any sides to speak of nor bread for the table. With a $41 price tag on the fish only that was disappointing. The service was excellent and the view was superb.“

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!“

“Super tasty burger. A local favorite“

“Love this bar! Jess and Becca are the best. Quick service. Cold beer. Great atmosphere. My favorite spot!“

“Fantastic burgers, friendly staff, and very clean. The best freshly made milk shakes!“

“1st try at this pick-up thing. Using the ap was easier than expected. We had to get home but had hankering for a good reasonably priced steak. Chili's is the only place in this area. Everywhere else is $$$. We live in a condo. So we can't grill our own. This was a perfect option. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. And we got free chips and salsa on top of it all.“

“Would like to see a different menu with some lighter options. Our food was greasy and unappealing. They're content to just be a bar that happens to serve some grub; not sure that will satisfy the locals.“

“We ate there today food great our waitress Taylor was great.“

“My kids say this is the one of the best restaurants in Florida. Food is consistently good and after multiple visits we have never had a less than stellar server. Today we had Ann and the kids loved her! Made them custom drinks and was super friendly, personable, and attentive.“

“Server was amazing. Can’t remember her name, but she mentioned she was a teacher. Had amazing energy and was super helpful and it seemed she was running the whole front of house solo.“

“Great place to work as well“

“We came for brunch but will definetly be back for dinner. Great wait staff and phenomenally tasting food!!! 5 star review“
