50 Best American Restaurants near Sugar Hill

“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“

“The food is fantastic, and the staff always makes my family feel welcomed. Charlie, the owner, is awesome as well. The interior is very clean and has a nice ambiance. My favorite things to order there are the bacon deluxe burger, strawberry field salad, or the cod dinner.“

“A random pick that proved to be excellent! The wings were perfectly cooked, and little extra touches impressed me. Like the celery was served chilled and wrapped in foil, served away from the hot food, and the sauced wings were separated from the fries by wax paper! This extra time and attention improved the quality of my serving, and took extra time and materials and showed attention to detail. And to top it off, the place, all the way to the restroom, was impeccably clean and orderly! I will seek this place out again when il in the area!“

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

“Under new management as of early 2025. Overall experience is much improved (from mid-late 2024), and I highly recommend visiting if you haven't in a while. Bone-in wings were fresh, crispy, seasoned well and larger than places like American Deli. The boneless wings (my favorite) were also large and crispy but more juicy compared to the bone-in. As for the burgers, the cost to quality ratio is very hard to beat, all ingredients were fresh and made for a very, very tasty combination!!! The young staff were super friendly and helpful, they have certainly earned my future business!“

“Can eat Buffalo“

“Great Gwinnett 1818 Club is the best“

“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!“

“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!“

“My first time at Medieval Times!! Was it cheesy and for kids with its paper crowns? Yes. Was it awesome, fun and exciting too? Also yes. Come with a light playful heart and it’s a great time! Definitely the show towards the end was exciting and I loved rooting for the knight we were assigned. Don’t worry, I give No spoilers about the drama and intrigue but the last half of the show was the most compelling.
I bought the VIP package which was front row seats and a few other small things. It was worth it to be closer to the action, to see the horses and other animals and the knights. I need subtitles because I definitely couldn’t clearly make out 70% of what was said. But the acting is good enough, You get the point. Service was great and attentive. Tip is not included in the price. The food?…just know you aren’t there for the food. It was ok, I’ll eat beforehand or at least bring some salt, utensils, napkins (and wipes.) Dessert was a weird curdled mini eclair. I was disappointed that the VIP package I purchased said it included cake which was not provided. The package I purchased also included a photo session which was a nice keepsake for me and my guest. At the end they do a meet and greet with the Knights where you get to take pictures. They were really great sports and fun to meet at the end. I will say I am impressed with their acting, athleticism and choreographed fighting.

Best for kids ages 5-9 and anyone older who wants to be a kid for a few hours.
My teenager wants to go with me so I will probably go again. I already know she will want me to stop somewhere afterward for food lol“

“Had good time playing dart tournament. It’s been years since played but I will be back“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.“

“Servers are gorgeous“

“Outstanding Food and Overall Experience! - Reservation for 8 to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (4:30 on a Friday). We almost changed our mind, because we learned my oldest daughter and her hubby had a bad experience at this restaurant in 2021. So glad we gave it another chance. Restaurant is under new management, and it shows! From the greeters at the door with smiles making a first impression, to a personable, attentive server (LeLe), excellent food and engagement by the manager being visible and interacting with guests - it was well worth our time. Total enjoyment! Our group had the snapper, salmon, shrimp & grits, catfish and one vegetarian who made a meal from the sides. Food was beautifully plated and presented and everything was hot & fresh, well seasoned and tasted great. Generous portions too. We also had the bourbon glazed brussels, skillet cornbread and the sticky ribs as appetizers. HIGHLY recommend the brussels and the ribs!! It was the first day testing the ribs, so you may have to ask for them, if they're not on the menu yet. Appreciated the free birthday dessert! If you had a previous bad experience over the last couple of years, you may want to try again. The new manager has the right attitude and a good vision for setting a new standard for The Parkside District. Keep it up! We will definitely visit again. We are glad to recommend the restaurant!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Came in today for lunch on the patio. It's been a few years since I've been to a Marlows and first time visiting this location. Masie took excellent care of our table and the food was excellent. I opted for the crab cake sandwich, no bun and subbed a side salad for fries. It was exactly what I was wanting and was happy that they could accommodate a couple of easy swaps. We'll be back.“

“I'll probably never go to IHOP again. Here's the deal: Sometimes my daughters just want pancakes or waffles, but I'm keto so this is a problem. Omelets are the obvious solution. Cracker Barrel is not conveniently located for us, and they don't have waffles. At IHOP they proudly boast that their omelets have a splash of pancake batter in the mix. (Why? Who thought this was a good idea?)

At pancake house, they make a fantastic omelet. I order it with bacon, sausage and cheddar. They don't just crumble up a slice of bacon. It's filled with and covered by bacon and sausage. Meaty goodness in every bite. I get a fruit cup on the side that has a keto sized portion of melon.

My daughter got the chicken and waffles. It looked amazing. The syrup was served hot. The chicken was golden-brown and thick and juicy.

The service is always great here. It was busy but not crowded. The meal arrived promptly and exactly as ordered.

Support a great local restaurant in the best little town in the South! Grab a bite on your way into downtown Lawrenceville.“

“LOVE the Johns Creek location. Reagan is an awesome server. Lots of regular patrons. So many new menu items. The salt and vinegar wings are so good“

“We joined a weekly networking meeting for the first time, and everything was fantastic. The service, atmosphere and food were amazing! Fried pepper Jack on a burger 🤤🤤. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“J Christopher has been our favorite breakfast spot since the Duluth days, well before expanding. Thankfully, it’s still our favorite after yesterday’s food, service, and price experience. We had a Billy goat omelette with spinach, goat cheese, and turkey sausage- mane, so good! We also had a traditional breakfast- pancakes, grits, bacon and eggs. Our server (Amy) was on point, attentive and most importantly, a nice person. When servers like each other, service is excellent and the vibe is right. Amy and a colleague were working multiple tables but still having fun on the job- an Owners’s Dream! With that, we highly recommend JC above 2. Snooze, 3. Flying Biscuit, 4. First Watch 5. Oui, and 6. Cracker Barrel. The JC Flowery Branch location is almost never crowded and your food is out after a short wait.“

“The Father's Day Celebration started yesterday with dinner at Bubba33! There was something on the menu for everyone in our party of 6! Everyone enjoyed their choices and had leftovers for later. The host was warm and gracious. Jayden, our server was attentive and kind! The atmosphere was great! All the stars for Bubba33 in Buford, GA!“

“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.“

“Genuine Southern Cooking by Southern people. Very friendly and efficient staff. Fair prices. Great location by the racing hall of fame and Food Lion. Easy parking. Dawsonville needed a place like this and it is a blessing to Dawson County!“

“Our waiter Quinnshawn was amazing. He kept our drinks full and the biscuits coming. He recommended a mixture of 2 sauces that was out of this world. The food was a 10 all the way around. At the end they surprised us with a happy anniversary desert. ( we were celebrating our anniversary.) Thank you Quinnshawn and the red lobster family for being a major part of making our day special!“

“Good service and good food“

“The food, service, and atmosphere… AMAZING! I had the sausage/egg/&cheese biscuit. With a side of their hash brown casserole— just like granny would’ve made it! Great place!“

“Was craving wings or burgers and happen to drive through Publix and saw this place. Was an hour before closing so fiancé and I ordered to go. The chickens have so many flavors to pick from. We tried the honey mild, dry rub Jamaican jerk, and garlic Parmesan for now but we want to try more of the other flavors. And try out a burger.“

“Their burgers are heavenly. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming🥰“

“This is a great local restaurant that My family and I go all the time! It always has amazing food and even better people! Definitely recommended going here!“

“Great service, food is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is very clean and definitely can relax and have some amazing food“

“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!“

“This gusto! is my go-to place for when I’m hungry, want something healthy, and need a little break. I enjoy the variety of flavor profiles that gusto! covers. I particularly love the Polynesian chilli mango bowl, and my husband loves the Chipotle mango avocado bowl. The staff here is also very friendly.“

“This was the best brunch food I’ve had in a long time, by fair. I had the cheesecake French Toast, veggie omelette and creamy grits. Delicious!!!“

“What a treat. Great service. Best breakfast food I've had in a long time. and the biscuits! wow!“

“EXCELLENT BBQ! I Stopped by for a quick lunch. Being a huge bbq connoisseur, I enjoy going to every bbq place i can find around North GA. Tom was smoking the brisket at this location and it absolutely is the best brisket ive had! Tender and juicy, with great seasoned flavor. Most places that claim to have good bbq just have dry brisket.
I also got some pulled pork, smoked turkey, and smoked sausage.
The pork was good, and the seasoning added a nice flavor. The turkey was great! I expected it to be dry and it was also tender and moist. The smoked sausage i expected to be spicy, as is most, and its not very spicy, but also not overly juicy like most.
Lastly i got the banana pudding which comes topped with a caramel glaze and some cinnamon whipped cream. Excellent dessert!
10/10 recommend City BBQ in Buford!“
