29 Best American Restaurants in Alpharetta

“Great service Thomas is the best server and has outstanding manners!“

“Really enjoyed our time at Up on the Roof. Food and service were excellent. Have been twice now and each time was a great experience“

“Village Tavern is the best restaurant for the money. Everything is very good. We have been to fancy steak houses that cost 3 -4 times as much but we now just pick Village Tavern. The service is fantastic and the food is always great. We drive 45 minutes just to go to the Village Tavern and it is worth it every time. Brunch is awesome and the Prime rib is fantastic.“

“A great restaurant that is aptly named because it really does have SOUL and is a good citizen of Alpharetta !“

“The food definitely lives up to everything great that I’d read & seen on Facebook! The fried chicken was AMAZING, and so much food. LOVE that gravy! My husband seriously loved his shrimp and grits. It was my birthday, and the waiter brought me crème brûlée that we shared….YUM!! Best friendly waiter, and great atmosphere.“

“Came in after New Years Day to have a little luck. Julie recommended the ham steak, collards, beans and cornbread. Everything came out quickly and fresh. I use to come weekly with people from a local church, and their chicken tenders and fries were all I wanted to eat while I was pregnant. I’m happy to have a place like MWMH in Cumming, because I feel like I’m with family when I’m there.“

“I just visited Oceans And Acre at Halcyon, Alpharetta, GA today, for brunch and was amazed by the service and quality of food. The manager on duty was phenomenal! I wanted a quick bite before a business meeting, and he offered several options that really hit the spot, and was tailored to my personal taste palette. Following his lead the bar tender then crafted a well deserved concoction that perfectly complimented my meal. Exceptionally friendly service, attention to detail, chill environment reasonable prices, Oceans & Acres at Halcyon Alpharetta, Ga is a hit!“

“The quality of the food is top notch. The facility has a cool vibe to it with the high ceilings, open kitchen, and large bar. Iirc, the wine racks are a throwback to the original FSE. Our waitress Nei (sp?) really knew the menu and made great recommendations on pairings of food. The seating area is rather open and can be noisy. The portions are appropriate for your meal, and there were no leftovers at our table. Prices are on par with other restaurants of this caliber. Plenty of free parking right behind the restaurant. We will be back. 💯“

“Visited on Fathers Day. First time. Menu had great options for all budgets, even for kids, and food was cooked well. Service however will likely keep us from returning. At first I was very understanding about how long it took our server to first come to our table, to refill drinks, to bring food, etc because they were clearly full on Fathers Day. But then we noticed other tables coming in long after us, have the same number of courses, and leave long before us. Then we had to ask more than once for sodas and waters to be refilled. We also started noticing that other tables were given bread while waiting for their food, though we did never did. When I pointed it out to the server during dessert, she kindly added some warm bread to our to go bag. Overall it took 1 hr 45 min to be served a Coke, one salad, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts.“

“We had a big birthday party there last night (downtown Alpharetta location). Great beer selection, the food was very good, and the staff was amazing. The manager and servers took care of us. Loved the atmosphere!“

“Better than expected! After living most of my life in Chicago, I've eaten more than a few hot dogs. The Chicago dog was good but not entirely authentic as it was grilled and the bun was toasted not steamed. The onion rings came out very hot and crispy. We went at a quiet time on a Monday but I could see this place being very busy on a Friday or weekend. If you don't see it from the parking lot that is because it is inside of a food hall and not a standalone shop.“

“Nice 👍 in the inside Good wings“

“Great experience! My wife and I were early for our reservation and the host team did an amazing job getting us seated early. Food was great (chili dog), large portion of fries, and my drink was amazing- cotton candy bar drink. Thanks for a great night!“

“AWESOME EXPERIENCE! This was our first time at Coalition Wood Fired Steak & Seafood, and I wanted to create a memorable experience for my Lady's birthday celebration. Coalition did not disappoint! Their assistance in supporting my idea for this event was critical to its success. I have to shoutout the manager, and her staff for making me feel so comfortable with asking for their help. They were friendly and very encouraging. The service we received from our server was magical and he provided the most impeccable service for the entire evening. He was thorough, friendly, and answered all our questions as first-timers. Great food. Pleasant atmosphere. Wonderful service. This is what you look for in an evening out with a great dinner. Coalition is our new favorite spot and we are looking forward to a return visit.“

“I love the food and service. Our waitress took great care of us and the kids. The bar drinks were delicious. I loved the French dip sandwich and the French onion soup. Will definitely go back.“

“Fantastic restaurant experience, everything was great, food, service, and atmosphere were very nice, except they had the gas fire going in the outdoor seating area. It has a roof with fans that blow the gas smell down to the tables, plus it was near 80° that day. I did not need a fire going. I'll definitely be back, and the fire pit wood be great in the Fall and Winter, but the gag needs to be directed out not down at the patrons.“

““Cheers” with southern accents and great food. Attentive server.“

“Our regular go to restaurant. Went for Father's Day with 7 people. Wait staff did an outstanding job. Food was as ordered and served fresh and hot. Can't wait to return.“

“Thanks for hosting book lovers and authors.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere. Our waiter, Nick, was a delight as well. We will definitely be back.“

“The photos don’t do it justice. Rick behind the counter stayed open just a little extra for me when I walked in right as they were about to close (something I normally wouldn’t do). Rick took his time to walk me through how the menu works and recommend me his favors. Food was pretty damn good. Highly recommended for anyone traveling through“

“What a fantastic experience we had here. Brie our server was really fantastic and all of the food tasted delicious.“

“Rita at checkout is fabulous! Always happy, super fast and THE friendliest! Shes always there and I LOVE that when checking out! Always a pleasure to WANT to come back in to eat and shop! Rita knows where everything is so I can just ask her and she shows me right away! Makes MY life easier!“

“A Truly Legendary Experience at Ted’s—Thanks to Alexis! Every once in a while, you come across someone in the service industry who doesn't just serve food—they serve joy, charm, kindness, and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes your whole day better. Enter Alexis, our radiant, sharp-as-a-tack, heart-of-gold server at Ted’s. From the moment my daughter and I sat down, Alexis greeted us with the kind of warmth usually reserved for long-lost family members (the kind you actually like). She knew that menu backwards, forwards, sideways, and with flair—guiding us with deliciously detailed recommendations like a culinary fairy godmother. And let me tell you—she wasn’t just juggling us. She had multiple tables, all full of folks, and yet every single person was smiling, satisfied, and clearly just as enchanted as we were. And while it would be easy to focus on how stunningly beautiful she is (because wow—she is), what truly shines about Alexis is her soul. She’s got that kind of inner light that just pulls people in—genuinely kind, attentive, and authentic. Whoever raised this young woman deserves a standing ovation. Gold stars. Medals. All of it. So enchanted were we that I asked to speak to the manager—not to complain (for once, ha!)—but to give this amazing young woman the praise she deserved. And wouldn’t you know it? The manager was just as delightful—gracious, present, and clearly proud of his team. As for the food? Delicious as always. Ted’s does not miss. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant was spotless, the team was hustling, and every guest around us looked equally well taken care of. It’s a well-oiled machine powered by smiles, effort, and apparently a whole lot of heart. Alexis didn’t just make our meal memorable—she made our evening magical. We’ll be back soon, and next time, we’re asking for her by name. Bravo, Alexis. And bravo, Ted’s. You've got a gem on your hands.“

“We had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Ray's on the River today with friends, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! Our server, Liz, was exceptionally friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about the menu. She provided excellent recommendations, including a variety of delicious cocktail options. The service was impeccable—our water glasses were always full, and the teamwork among the staff was truly impressive. Everyone pitched in to keep tables pre-bussed and maintained a cheerful, inviting atmosphere. The manager, Shannon, stopped by our table to ensure our experience was nothing short of phenomenal. It’s refreshing to see management actively engaging with guests, ensuring everything not only looked and smelled fantastic but also met the highest standards of hospitality. As a former server myself, I can confidently say this team is hitting every service benchmark and going above and beyond expectations. Hats off to Liz, Shannon, and the entire team for a memorable dining experience. Ball Ground, GA, applauds your excellence!“
