50 Best American Restaurants near Parrish

“We came in for the first time not knowing what to expect in terms of quality. However as soon as we entered we were welcomed by reception staff and we loved the design and atmosphere of this location. Our waitress, Nikki, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the companies roots, and could easily identify how individual dishes were prepared and where the ingredients and/or recipes were from. She was extremely friendly, accommodating and attentive - with a great sense of humor to boot. The food was also excellent and very satisfying. The Lobster roll was amazing, as well as the crab cakes! We will certainly be returning sooner than later. Thank you for such a great experience Nikki!“

“My sisters and I had lunch here and we were very happy with everything. Staff was extremely nice, the portion of the food was plenty and tasted great. Prices were really good too. We will definitely return to this restaurant.“

“Greeted by staff when entering and thanked on the way out. Table service is excellent. Drinks brought promptly. Questions answered in detail about the menu. Beautiful restaurant decor. Our meals were excellent. Give a shout out to the bacon cook. Perfection. Eggs cooked to our likens. You can pay at your table through your phone or at a register. Highly recommend an excellent experience. Personally I think tea and coffee over priced at &3.99.“

“We have always liked coming to Cracker Barrell. Food is always what you expect, good and comforting! Our server Casey went above and beyond today. She was a delight! She was very attentive without being overbearing. She made nice small talk without holding us up or dragging anything out.“

“My wife and I came to the Ellenton area on our honeymoon. Her local family reccomended we check out Woodys River Roo. It was our first stop and the only repeat stop during our week down here. We went to "The Roo" on three separate occasions and loved each one. The food was great, the view of the manatee river was very nice, but the friendly hardworking staff was the cherry on top. They all really seemed to love each other and worked together like a well oiled machine. They made us feel right at home and made sure everything was just right. Bar tender Johnny, who I belive said had been employed there for 15 years, reccomended a lot of other great places to drink and dine in the area. They also have a gift shop and live entertainment from, music to trivia 7 days a week! 10 out of 10 would reccomend. My wife and I hope to be back sooner than later!“

“I love it , Country style🥰“

“Was there tonight when my family and I witnessed an incident in the parking lot. Management was quick to rush in as well and even gave a discount on our bill bc we jumped up to assist when we saw what happened. We’ve always had great food and service there and tonight was no exception. Well done!“

“Great staff ! Very friendly! I love the croissant, egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich. The food is delicious ☀️🌴🥰“

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped by with my grown son for a late lunch & really enjoyed the food & service. Had their special- pulled pork sandwich, one side (fries)and a drink. Reasonably priced. We’ll be back.“

“Well it finally happened to me,
(Again lol) at Applebees, Stacey and I went for some $.50 boneless wings,(MMMMM) we ordered 10 each and split a fry,
The bill was $40. Plus $, I went back to my email ( I used to love Applebees, still like), anyway the 10 wings were to be $5, it was 13.99 x 2 now add a fry and 1 soft drink, what should have been around $20, the killer was our server saw my email when we were ordering and never said that price for online ordering and pick up. I think I really should have spoke up but once I found the fine print, I just said for get it and it was over &50 with the tip.
Dear Applebees we used to come at least twice a month for years for $6.99 burger Monday right around the corner from our house, the little things are what customers like and remember,
if I’d known I would have had a much nice meal for the same money, instead of the wings for almost 3 x the price I read. Come on big companies.
Note!
Fact; Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows Your name.
Cheers,

“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.“

Place is a 5 star for this type of restaurant. Everything on menu is made fresh and it’s so good. I’ve never rated a fast food restaurant but this one is way above the others. Great food, clean, great staff, prices are in line with the food. It’s excellent. The fries and onion rings, cheese curds!!!! Haha it’s ok to have, treat yourself and family. This is the best location in my opinion. It’s east of 75. Worth the extra 5-10 minute drive. Thats my take on this all American classic. Just GREAT!“

“Memorial Weekend views just hit different at Hooks Waterfront Bar & Grill 🌴🌅🇺🇸

Good food, waterfront vibes, boats pulling up, sunsets glowing across the water, and maybe even dolphins making a surprise appearance 👀🐬 This the type of Florida energy you can’t fake.

Whether you grabbing a burger, seafood basket, cold drink, or just vibing outdoors with family & friends… sometimes it’s really about slowing down and appreciating the moment this Memorial Weekend ❤️

As we enjoyed the holiday, we also remember the true meaning behind it honoring the men and women whose sacrifice, dedication, and commitment helped protect our freedom 🇺🇸🙏🏽“
