30 Best American Restaurants in Palm Beach Gardens

“We had a fantastic takeout experience so we are coming back to join for the ambience next time. The food was delicious. They changed the menu all the time. They work with special requests, which is incredibly unusual with a restaurant that has this type of Craft. Very accommodating and the food is outstanding. When my husband picked up the food, he said we’ve got to go back. You’ll love the place. I’m not sure who answered the phone, but we dealt with him twice and I really have not seen that type of Customer service in a long time.“

“Yum every dish is Unusual fresh and distinctive“

“I’ve been going to bolay for a while and the food is always delicious. The service is excellent and impeccable. Andrenique always greets me with a smile and makes sure I feel a welcome. Definitely would recommend for a quick and healthy lunch.“

“Was there last night - enjoyed a KILLER Prime Rib (props to Chef JT) and an 'Almond Joy' at the bar :)“

“Gabby was absolutely outstanding. She was attentive, quick, knowledgeable, incredibly sweet, and accommodating, especially with me having two kids with me. She made the entire experience feel effortless and genuinely enjoyable.

You can tell she has been serving for a while because she has that rare ability to anticipate what you need without being overbearing. She was professional, personable, and made us feel truly taken care of from beginning to end.

Servers like her are a huge part of what makes people want to return to a restaurant. Great food may bring you in once, but exceptional service is what makes you want to come back again and again. She is absolutely an asset to J. Alexander’s, and I hope management knows how much of a positive impact she has on the guest experience. She deserves to be recognized!“

“My favorite place since I tried 2 months ago, I’ll go for lunch almost everyday, mostly Boca and Wellington. Im fasting so it’s the most tasty nutritious food I’ve got. The staff is amazing and the cleanliness even in bathrooms is top. I always get the small bowl and always ask for a bonus 1/2 spoon of beans and they always give it with a big smile, not this time. Today I tried the Alton one, I had high expectations. First impression was that it was weird starting the line backwards from the right. The operator was friendly but not when I asked for a tin of beans, 1/4 spoon the most… She said no and she wanted to sell me a cup as an extra. I declined, was rude, then I see the line dirty, stuff looked cold. The other operator was afraid to serve too much shrimp and the feta he spread it crumble by crumble, I was amazed of his skills. Those 2 company money savers fighting for the employee of the month. One thing I like at Bolay is to grab my metal good solid forks, this time I couldn’t, not available. The food was tasty as usual but the temperatures were inconsistent, the colds not too cool and the hots warms. Then after sitting the trash overflowing and dirty bowls piling up were a view that you can’t stop looking at it, under my table on the floor smashed veggies. When I’m leaving I’m looking at the other stations and look the same. I avoided use the bathrooms at that point to wash hands as usual. It wasn’t a staff shortage issue, plenty of labor, customer line clear. These guys went through the pick of rush in lunch time with not interval cleanings. So disappointing see that awesome concept lowing the bar so bad. At the end is all management. Not going back there, I mean, that one in Alton but people, you definitely gotta try it somewhere else and get hook by them. Wellington and Boca In Military staff is the best. Hope Alton improve.“

“Not easy to find - but I’m glad I kept walking around the building until I did! I saw a TikTok where someone had tried the sub and gave a great review. I love subs and had to try for myself. I ordered the Italian sub, wow!!! A must try, you will not be disappointed!“

“Excellent food, as always. The portions are large and the appetizers are sharable. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to drinks and condiments.the other wait staff were very attentive. Ambience is nice. Nice celebration for a birthday!“

“Fresh food cooked to order. 2026 nominated Best Food Truck 2026 nominated Best Catering Company Very pretty truck“

“Food is great but hostesses leave much to be desired when it comes to delighting the guest. Party of 3, made a reservation, came in and was going to be seated in the middle Of the restaurant at a noisy table. I explained my husband has hearing loss and could we sit at one of the 3 empty booths behind us. Hostess said we’d have to wait an hour. We left and enjoyed a lovely dinner in Tap 42.“

“Excellent lunch- we had the tuna melt & club wrap. Both were great and the service was amazing. Outdoor dining was perfect“

“We came to watch some football after golf at PGA National. We enjoyed a couple beers and some happy hour snacks. Chicken fingers and Chips with queso cheese sauce. Very tasty. They have Heineken zero which was appreciated by my husband. 🍺😀🙌 Pleasant wait staff too! 😀👍“

“I went to the Longhorn Steakhouse on Donald Ross Road last week. I have been to this location several times and I always ask for KEVIN as my server as he is wonderful no matter how busy he may be. The food is always consistent and good. Highly recommend!“

“We have only come in for Take out, but the food has been amazing. We have tried the lobster dumplings, the goat cheese salad, and the brick over chicken. All were excellent. We’ll be back to sit down with you!“

“Awesome experience 2nd time here. I think we’ve decided to make Sarah’s kitchen our spot to eat after church 🙏👍❤️“

“Never had a bad meal. Never had bad service. Cannot think of another restaurant about which I can say that. Thank you for all the past great experiences and the future ones, too!!!“

“Great food, I brought the wife and baby with me, everyone was so friendly and nice. Food was some of the best I’ve had down here in Florida “I’m from Michigan” drinks aren’t overpriced and food pretty average price I’d recommend Forsure. Staff was awesome as they were cool with baby and played with her“

“Great food huge slices of pizza“

“My wife and I had a great time at the Dancing Crane last night. Food and drinks were excellent. Even perfect cappuccinos with desert. We had an enjoyable conversation with the manager and bartender...both very nice guys. Going back after the holidays for a Sunday brunch. We live in the Acreage, and were very lucky to have this place in the neighborhood.“

“We had an amazing first visit. The sampler platter with shrimp toast, Swedish caviar and the meatballs was absolutely amazing. Georgia, our server, was a doll. She was fantastic with recommendations that were spot on and I highly recommend asking for her! You will enjoy!“

“On August 30, 2026! This is first time I visited. I really enjoyed my experience at Yard House! The Nashville Hot Chicken & Pancakes were delicious and had a great combination of flavors. The restaurant itself looks very nice, with a great atmosphere and good vibes. I had a great time dining here and would definitely come back again soon!“

“Nice atmosphere and good food and service!“

“Staff is very professional. Good food and very casual eating environment.“

“We love the vibe of this diner! We had a chance to have a staycation here at the resort and had breakfast here each morning. Our server Elvira was so personable and made for great conversation as we sat outside and enjoyed the greens.Both mornings I got the short rib hash and wowza were the portions, generous, and the taste spot on. Everything that we had was really fresh. What made this place stand out was true to the name. There are quite a few birds that hang out as well outside in every so often they get shooed away. For some this would be a nuisance, however it actually was amusing and added to the experience.

I absolutely would return for the short rib hash. It’s the type of hearty meal that keeps you going all throughout the day. And a shout out to our server Elvira, who give us such fun context about the place and brought us lots of joy!“

“Kitchen north never missed. The vibe is beautifully modern yet completely welcoming, and alyse and Nicole make you feel like you’re dining with old friends. Every single dish is packed with incredible flavor and handled with the same care. Whether you’re dropping in for a great cocktail at the bar treating yourself to a full dinner, the quality and hospitality. Here are absolutely top-tier. It is easily one of the best dining spots in Palm Beach County highly recommend! Perfect thank you“

“The food and atmosphere was very enjoyable. But what really impressed me was when Cedric (General Manager)went out of his way during rush hour to help me with a lost receipt. That is above and beyond. Thank you sir!“

“Great as always! We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps for apps delicious snd light! Love the whole grain bread as well! Got Mai tai's (definitely felt the liquor hit)! The lunch plates we got (chose the dinner size portions) : The grilled salmon, cajun salmon , and chicken avocado salad. I also get there cookie dough cheesecake sooo yummy! 10 out of 10 always! Service always excellent.“

“Steak pizza delicious 🤤 !!“

“Server Kari Peavy was excellent. Her attentiveness to our needs and her cheerful, amiable personality made for a wonderful dinner. We will be back again and will hopefully have Kari as our server.“

“This C.R. Chicks on PGA is a staple. The staff here is always so friendly and the overall vibe of the place is just cool and relaxed. While the chicken is always a hit, I have to highlight the sides because they steal the show: the steamed carrots are incredibly flavorful, and the mashed potatoes with that rich mushroom gravy are pure comfort in a bowl. Bonus points for being located in a plaza with an ample shared parking lot, making it a stress-free lunch or dinner stop. Will definitely be back!“
