50 Best American Restaurants near Johns Creek

“Great quality burguers, we tried the Factory and it was delicious. The price is fair and the portions are big.“

“I’ve been to Snooks several times, but my most recent visit was truly standout! They’ve added some new items to the menu, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken (white meat) with Mac n' Cheese and Parmesan Broccolini. The chicken was absolutely 'bussin'—perfectly seasoned and so moist. The Mac n' Cheese was so incredible that I had to order two servings!

I really appreciate the transparency on the menu, noting that the meal takes about 22 minutes to prepare. Knowing that Jay, the owner and chef, is personally crafting the food makes the wait totally worth it for that level of quality.

To drink, I had both the Peach and Watermelon Margaritas—at only $10 each, they were delicious and a great deal. My best friend joined me and loved her Atlanta Heat Lemon Pepper Wings too.

One of the things I love most about Snooks is that it’s rarely overcrowded, which is perfect for me since I prefer a more relaxed environment without large crowds. It also means the food comes out fresh and timely. Plus, it was wonderful to be served by the owner's son, who did a great job. I truly appreciate supporting such a hardworking family business.

“This is a hidden gem in Johns Creek! I visited on a random Tuesday night. I’m a bit of a foodie and can be a bit picky - that said, I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here. I had the salmon and chose to get it blackened. Despite my requesting it well done, the salmon was still so moist and the lemon vinaigrette drizzle accompanied the dish so well! I also had a spicy margarita and their crème brûlée for dessert. My total experience was amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“Great staff! Our waiter Bobby was the best!“

“Kevin and Olivia are the best duo. My experience at this location exceeded my expectations....the service was great and the food was even better... If you want a great experience that feels like your eating with family and friends in a clean environment ...this is the place ... I will definitely be a returning customer to this location ( I ate at the bar, my meal: Longhorn Parmesan crust Lamb Chops )“

“Miss Rayne was amazing … kept our coffee cups full. Mr. Stephen cooked a great ham and cheese omelette. The facility was remarkably clean.

This is now our favorite Waffle House in the John’s Creek area.

Visited on 10/20/24.“

“I joined a friend here recently. I haven't actually dined in to a First Watch in years. It was so nice! The hostess was sweet. The menu was much like I remember it. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. My favorite entree is the avocado toast! I swear they sprinkle a lil extra love on top. Overall, great experience and can't wait to visit again! #ashsaidit“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food was delicious and very affordable. In today’s financial climate, that is everything. In addition, our server “ Tarina” provided optimal service with a smile. Very attentive and on point with our dining needs. Thanks for all you do for your customers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great friendly service. 🥇“

“Outstanding food! Must do the chef’s tasting experience at least once. The food and service are equally outstanding! This restaurant is one of the BEST in Atlanta! 😋😋“

“Food was delicious, patio was beautiful but they should consider planting some trees so 1/2 the table isn't looking at a gas station. Our server was polite and knowledgeable but so incredibly slow. We stat for a long time without drinks and had to finally flag him down to place our order and again later for the checks. It was like pulling teeth. I'd come back again but hope for more prompt service.“

“My first time at Lazy Dog was a treat!! The staff was very friendly and Frank especially was so great to my party & I, making sure we were okay & had everything we needed! Truly was a great experience thanks to Frank and we appreciate the professionalism & kindness! Will be back!“

“I was blown away with the quality of the food and cocktail I had 🤯 Amazing! This place deserves to be way busier than it was when I went in there“

“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.“

“The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. Steven our waiter did a fantastic job.“

“The bbq shrimp is amazing! There wasn’t anything left on anyone’s plate! Service is always stellar!“

“Nice 👍 in the inside Good wings“

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

“My experience starting off the night signing in was rough the lady at the desk gave me a very very hard time when i already paid for my room she did not want to tell me her name when she relized she was wrong and she told me her name was ruby when its really forzana which i was informed that by another employee but the server at the bar (karim) was great and the environment was excellent but my experience signing in was rude and dissapointing considering i drove 5 1/2 hours to get here“

“We celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday today and the food was fantastic! Our server was AMAZING. I forget her name but she handled our table of 16 like a champ! Wonderful experience today!“

“super delicious y limpiolo recomiendo“

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

“My wife and I found this spot today for Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic! I had the Short Rib Hash and my wife had the Salmon Benedict. A fabulous cocktail and Creme Brulee for dessert. Service was also great!“

“we had Roxy that helped us out. so nice and very helpful. I believe it was a manager that came by to check on us also. that was cool. the food was Delicious 😋“

“This place is excellent! The service is outstanding, and the food quality truly stands out. I’ve tried wings, burgers, and fried rice from many different places, and these were among the best—flavorful without being oily.
The chicken wings are especially impressive: very fresh (they use fresh wings, not frozen), perfectly cooked, and well-balanced—not overly salty or over-fried. They’re tender, flavorful, and done just right.
Highly recommended!!!!!“

“Great service and delish menu options. Great wine selection.“

“One of the few local restaurants that has a real diverse menu.
Lunch or dinner is a good choice. Salads, soups, appetizers, desserts and plated meals are well prepared and have that home cooked feel. Never been there without a reservation.. I’ve always observed they are busy air the time. The wait staff is fair at best and for me the lighting could be better!“

“This was our belated family Christmas present and we all had a great time. My parents, my sister and BIL, and my husband and I all went and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our server Matt was top tier. Our knight did not win, but our side won and I had the best time cheering for him. I didn't know what to expect and I was blown away by how amazing the show was.“

“We are so excited that the Covington location at the Town Center is now open!!! The WNB food truck catered our daughter’s graduation party in May. We’re so glad to have a brick & mortar location in Covington!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Great Gwinnett 1818 Club is the best“

“Food is really good, fresh seafood, hot food, seasoned well. The place is clean. I just left there a few hours ago for the first time and definitely will be back. A must try!“

“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!“

“Bite More is easily a 5/5 for me. The atmosphere and service are both top tier every time I’ve come. I’ve been here a few times and everything I’ve tried has been really good. The Mac Attack loaded fries are amazing, the lemon pepper wet wings are solid, and the garlic parmesan wings are just as good. But the Truffle Shuffle burger? Hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. I’ve been to both of their locations and so far both have been great.“

“Food was good. Server was great. Don’t know when it became acceptable for some guy to hang out at the hostess stand chatting up the hostess, but I guess it’s a very different world from when I did restaurant work.“

“I absolutely love going to J Alexander’s. I love the barbecue ribs. And the french fries are thin and crispy and delicious. My last visit was exceptional. The service was very good. I had just returned from Saudi Arabia and had not had pork for a month. The ribs Just made me very happy. I highly recommend this restaurant even though it’s a chain.“

“Looking for a place to have a Bridal Brunch and this place checks 4 of the 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Was hoping for a shrimp and grits on the menu, but with that said let me say that what I had was delicious. I had the raspberry mimosa, toasted croissant with chicken salad, and the cucumber salad. The complimentary raisin scones were fabulous. It made front runner for our brunch. The service was delightful. All in all it was 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.“

“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.“

“Love it, great food & outstanding breakfast“

“Invited 2 out of town guests to J. Alexander’s, Peachtree Pkwy, yesterday! They loved the fried calamari (perfectly tender inside and crisp outside)! Our entrées (main courses, really, bcoz Entrée is French for appetizer) consisted of the Salmon (cooked perfectly) & Burger (asked for Medium
came out well done) for our friends, the Cod Fish Taco for my wife & the Prime Rib French Dip for me! Everyone loved their MC!! My French Dip was the Best I ever had - piled high, pink roasted tender beef with the Jus & Horseradish. The fries were absolutely great! My wife loved her Fish Taco and Rice ‘n Beans side, however they could have used less (1/2 less) cole slaw & more Cod (1/2 more) in the Tacos.
Our server, Jacob was exceptional, and right on top of our every necessities. Professional & knowledgeable for sure!! Thanks Jacob!
One small detail though… the silverware needs polishing before being given to us in a napkin roll up - an easy task the servers should easily administer to.“

“Thanks for hosting book lovers and authors.“

“I made reservations for me and my twin for our Birthday dinner and they were excellent. We got the southern fried chicken meal and everything was delicious. We also got a margarita from the bar which was top notch to start our birthday night off right!!! We will be back to this restaurant when we return back to ATL.“

“Hannah's Kitchen is the best deal in Atlanta. $11 for a meat entree plus 2 sides plus cornbread AND drink. The best dishes are baked chicken (best I've ever had), beef tips & rice (best I've ever had) and pork chops. The entree/side dishes list changes daily, so you won't get bored with the same food each day. We need more places like this. I eat here 3-4 times a week. They have customers who eat both breakfast AND lunch everyday of the week. Customer services is friendly and super fast. You can be in and out of there within 30 minutes full and satisfied.“

“Dinner at Vice was amazing—from start to finish! We especially liked the complimentary valet service, which was a huge plus since parking can be a challenge on Saturday night in that area. We were welcomed at the door and seated quickly, even without a reservation (though I’d recommend making one – they were definitely busy). Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, making great suggestions and creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We started with the Tuna which was fresh and beautifully prepared. I would have loved it even more with a bit of spice to elevate the flavor, but it was still a great way to start our meal. For our main courses, we had the burger and the Wagyu fillet both were absolutely delicious! Every bite was memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The restaurant was a very clean and had a great atmosphere. The cashier was friendly and nice and made feel welcomed.

The food was very yummy and delicious. I got the jerk chicken. It was a bit spicy, tangy, and overall well seasoned. Can't wait to try their other options!“

“My family and I had the best time on Saturday night here! We’d never been but were invited to join by a friend who performs there sometimes- lead singer of “The Unknown”! The service was amazing, the jams were jamming!! We went thinking we’d stay an hour and we stayed 4 hours! The drinks were flowing, service was awesome (Go Stretch) and the band made it an entire vibe. We can’t wait to go back next time they perform!“
