50 Best American Restaurants near Oakwood

“Came here while visiting family. Our server was great and the atmosphere was wonderful. There were 11 of us and all of our food was brought out together. It was all absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back here when visiting again.“

“If you’ve had a bad experience I’d like to welcome you to come see me on 3rd shift and I’d hope to change your mind. every shift here has improved tremendously and we would be happy to have a second chance at making an amazing experience for you and your family.😁“

“The employee taking our order acted like a zombie, didn't speak unless necessary and even then it was robotic and devoid of any hint of emotion. He was effective though and got our orders right. I ordered the grilled white fish and grilled shrimp combo. When the food came out there was a ton of seasoning on the fish. It honestly looked like the lid came off the shaker. It had so much seasoning that dropping the plate on the table resulted in a cloud. This was only on one half of the fish, the other half was OK but so dry with the edge being very much like beef jerky. I drank an entire cup of tea trying to swallow it down. The shrimp, green beans and bread stick were good. The fried okra tasted good but it was greasy, too greasy. Three of us ate with two of us having okra. The two that ate okra have been having severe stomach distress since then. Our plans for after we had eaten were immediately discarded and the mad dash for the restroom began. It's been a day and I still can't stray far from the bathroom. I haven't gone for treatment yet but I do believe we've somehow gotten food poisoning from okra. The lobby was clean and pleasant. The tea was good. no bitterness at all.

“Wing and Burger Factory is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it can get. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly cooked wings and burgers that sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. The menu is packed with options that cater to every craving, whether you’re in the mood for perfectly seasoned wings or a juicy, flavorful burger.

Their burgers are just as impressive. Each one is crafted with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference. The patties are juicy and flavorful, cooked just the way you like them, and the toppings are always fresh and abundant. Whether you’re going for a classic cheeseburger or something more adventurous, you won’t be disappointed.

What really makes Wing and Burger Factory stand out is the attention to detail and the quality of the food. Every item on the menu feels thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. The service is friendly and efficient, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish.

“Great Food, Great Service, Great Value!

I recently enjoyed a fantastic lunch with my son at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. The friendly host quickly seated us, and our server promptly arrived with warm, buttery croissants and took our drink order.

We started with delicious cheese curds, and our main courses were equally impressive. My son's chicken and shrimp dish was a hit, while I indulged in the renowned country-fried steak with a generous side salad and creamy mashed potatoes.

The portions were incredibly generous
– the side salad could have easily been a meal on its own!

The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and affordable prices made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal.“

“We enjoyed our first trip to Standard Service. The food was delicious and the service was great! Just wish trivia was upstairs rather than in the tap room.“

“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.“

“Great little spot and very fast service. Got the bacon double cheese burger and it was very, very good! Best part, it was cheaper than some crappy Ronald M burger! Been here twice and it was great both times. Gotta try their breakfast next!“

“Aqua Terra Bistro in Buford offers delicious seafood, perfectly cooked steaks, and an excellent selection of cocktails. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is attentive without being rushed. It’s the perfect place for a special night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.“

“Excellent food paired with excellent service!“

“The best food and drinks on the square 🥰“

“Went here for breakfast a few weeks ago. The atmosphere was pretty chill for a late morning. Ordered plate of biscuits and gravy with red hot sausage and an orange juice. The gravy was smooth and warm with the red hot giving a good amount of spice. Very curious to see what else was offered, I returned a few days later to get a burger to go as is advertised on their sign up front. The burger was surprisingly juicy and delicious. What even more surprising was learning that Mama Ruth’s has been around since 1975! With a diverse menu and friendly customer service, I can see why it has continued to thrive.“

“Went here for brunch with a group of friends from church. The atmosphere inside was vibrant coming off like an old diner with Las Vegas memorabilia on the walls. The menu was expansive with many options to choose from. I ordered their special Elvis cakes which were 3 pancakes covered in banana slices, peanut butter chips, and powdered sugar. The cakes were quite filling with no additional condiments needed. I also ordered a small bowl of their fried potatoes which were surprisingly good! Service was excellent despite the large crowd of people. Overall a great place to go for breakfast/brunch.“

“we came in town for a meeting for some WWE stuff and made our way to your place the name was what cought us. we had a young girl by the name of Averanna 5 out of 5 knock out service Mahalo“

“One of the best burgers around. Loved every bite. The extra price for fries should be more than a small handful. But the burger was amazing. Will be back for sure soon.“

“Food was absolutely fantastic. We ordered flat iron steak, duck, and shrimp and grits, everything was cooked to perfection, and flavors are definitely memorable. Finished dinner with sticky toffee cake, which, alone, is worth coming back for. Stephen, our server, was professional and very welcoming. Thank you for this amazing experience!“

“We had ordered takeout and they had left out half of our order. But when I called the manager was extremely nice and helpful. Obviously mistakes happen but the way they corrected it in the extra attention to make it right The second time was very appreciated. The manager and his wonderful attitude made all the difference. I’ll definitely go again“

“I stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad I did! You wouldn’t expect a wings and burger joint to serve amazing bulgogi bowls, but all their Korean dishes are delicious. The dumplings are fantastic, and the marinated cucumbers are a must-try. I live in Cleveland and make the drive to Dawsonville just to eat here. The father-son duo running the place is incredibly nice and welcoming. You should definitely check them out!“

“Very crispy wings 😋. I don't typically eat this, but this is my guilty pleasure. I love the extra spicy wings and lemon pepper wings. The fries are also extra crispy. Idk where this location will moved to when the mall shutsdown. The wings are affordable and delicious. I hope they relocate somewhere near.“

“1000/10! This place is always amazing! But today especially! Whoever took my order for Carly(Turkey Burger, Philly and wings)(7/6 @ 4:00ish) needs a raise! And whoever cooked it needs a double raise!!!! MY GOODNESS! Absolutely perfect! Chefs kiss! Thank you!!!“

“I can’t say enough great things about WBC! We used to live in Flowery Branch, GA, and during our motorcycle ride from Florida to North Carolina, we knew without a doubt we had to make a stop here. This is, hands down, the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. The owners are truly AMAZING and the staff are the friendliest people you’ll meet—genuinely kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. Everything on the menu is amazing—you truly can’t go wrong no matter what you order. We’ll definitely be back soon. It’s absolutely worth the 7-hour drive from Florida!“

“We have been traveling for the past few months from NC to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center to see family. We found this little jewel early on and always stop now. Hannah is an ah-mazing waitress and even though we don’t come often, remembers us and our drinks. Great food and true hometown feeling. Wish we lived closer!“

“Absolutely the best burgers I have had in a long time. Great service too. Will be back again and again!!“

“The best BBQ, brisket, and chicken I’ve had in as many years as I can think. Their slaw and Mac-n-cheese was spot-on as well. Very friendly folks with fast service. Prices are reasonable.“

“This is my favorite place to visit for lunch or dinner. Taylor is fantastic and gave many great suggestions and was very professional. I know the food is great and if the rest of the staff is just a amazing as Taylor it should be a regular spot for any local and a destination spot for anyone visiting.“

“Stopped by for dinner last night. Delicious burger cooked to perfection with thick slices of bacon , fried pickles as well as a new house appetizer of empanadas . Had a blast sitting outside and hanging out with friends . Also was shocked at how affordable everything is! One of the few places left where you can order a burger and it comes with fries at no extra cost. Great place to go to after a day at the lake. Will be returning !“

“Wow, wow, and wow. What a night to remember! Best place to celebrate the lady's birthday. The food was immaculate and our server Mary Katherine was excellent and made great suggestions for our first time. From the starter to dessert, everything we had was exceptional! It was also good to be able to speak to the owner Vincent and learn more about how the restaurant came to be. Go here, we promise you'll enjoy it! Sorry for no pictures, everything was getting hammered as soon as it was placed down!“

“10/10 great experience, ask for Alec as a server! Good food, good prices, great service.“

“A great find--a bit off the beaten path. Excellent salads and of course seafood---tried the Fish Tales (grouper) lightly breaded and perfectly fried. Kitchen obviously knows how to prepare food---wish they would include Hush Puppies on the menu--am sure their versions would be outstanding if they did! Brandi was the best waitress imaginable.“

“I love Culvers burgers and their fries, eat there for lunch once a week. it was cold out today and I thought a bowl of chili would be good. Ordered the chili supreme, paid for extra onions, cheese and sour creme, no sour creme on the tray, they told me they were out of it. you could have let me know before hand, I would have skipped that part of the order. $10.54 for a little bowl of chili, hardly any meat in it, fries and a drink, what a disappointing meal.“

“I noticed a previous review of Curts referring to the dining room being empty and the food being tasteless. Every time I’m there it’s packed and the food is delicious. I guess some people just don’t know good food when they are use to eating at some other establishments.“

“That was the best Turkey I’ve ever had!!!! The smoked turkey breast was the most moist turkey I’ve ever put in my mouth. Even the next day after heating it up in the microwave. I will definitely order again next year! Zero complaints 100% compliments!“

“Went for the first time today. I had the fried shrimp and my son had the queso chicken. Both were excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“I love 💕 37 Main the staff is so friendly and welcoming especially Rob at the door!! The bands are always amazing!! I highly recommend this place for good times and great music!!“

“Service was decent. Serving Size for the Roast beef dinner was tiny. Meat was very fatty and there was not enough to cover a piece of loaf bread.“

“The food is always amazing“

“I’m not typically a huge fan of bbq because if the intense smokey, salty flavor. The pulled pork was perfect! Flavor was so good, just the right amount of ‘smoke’! The sides were delicious as well.“

“I had not eaten at Wayback since they had issues with a failed inspection a while back, but always enjoyed their good Carolina burger. Went back yesterday for the first time, and found that the burger is smaller, with prefab formed patties. While the chips were very good….I was disappointed with the burger based on previous experience. Sad because previously the Carolina was a great burger. Not sure if I will go back after this change.“

“We love Pelican Pete’s great for date night or just a casual relaxing lunch. It’s on the water so it’s perfect. The people there are so great and the food is wonderful.!!!! And yes, the drinks are yummy too 💜😍🔥“

“The food was good! There's a lot of choices.“

“Boneless ham spiral sliced“

“I'm new to this course. So far seems like good folks.“
