19 Best American Restaurants in Lewiston

“Went in today and got a 2 pound mushroom Swiss with tots. Delicious food large portions and friendly staff. I will definitely came back next time I am in town“

“Very good bite size steak! Their side salad is amazing too! Our kids both had the popcorn chicken and they both devoured their food. They never disappoint, Good job Brava's“

“The environment is 10/10 here! Best cocktails and food in the LC valley in my opinion. Our favorite place to meet up with friends and family💙“

“Great high end place with great people and food and drinks!!!“

“Mystic Café is one of my favorite coffee shops in Lewiston because it actually feels like an independent local place instead of another polished corporate chain.

The atmosphere is probably the biggest reason. There’s artwork everywhere, interesting decorations on the walls, multiple seating levels, and enough little details around the café that you keep noticing new things even after several visits.

One thing I’ve always enjoyed is the live music. On certain Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights they’ll have musicians or bands performing, and there’s even a piano inside the café. I’ve seen a pretty wide mix of local performers over the years, and it gives the whole place a fun creative energy that’s hard to fake.

As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series, I spend a lot of time writing in coffee shops while traveling, and places with actual personality always stand out more to me than perfectly polished modern cafés.

The layout is fun too because the café opens up more the farther you wander inside. Different seating areas, upper sections, little corners to sit in. It feels bigger than it first looks from outside.

The food and coffee have always been excellent, and the staff has consistently been super friendly and welcoming. Their hours have shifted around a bit over the years, so it’s worth double-checking before heading over.

Funny enough, creative coffee shops and music venues like this probably influenced parts of the atmosphere in the Paris Nights Romance Series more than I consciously realized while writing.

Definitely one of the more unique coffee shops in the LC Valley and the kind of place where it’s easy to stay longer than you planned.“

“Came here with my husband for the first time. The service was great. We walked in and were greeted with smiles, The serving sizes are gigantic, you definitely get a lot of food for what you're paying for and you're not really paying that much the pricing is so nice. I don't know how they came up with the fries they have but they are now my husband and I's favorite. They are like flattened steak fries. So good.
Very happy with those service, food quality and price. Definitely would recommend“

“The food is outstanding and the service staff is excellent….we consistently eat here….“

“The Applebee’s in Lewiston, Idaho is an excellent spot for a good meal. After a long day working in the office on my thriller and romance novels and taking care of business, I like to get out for a solid dinner.

The food is always well prepared. The whiskey bacon burger is one of my favorites. I’ll sometimes order a beer as well. You can tell this location is well run because the staff stays attentive and on top of things. And on the rare times something isn’t quite right, they jump on fixing it quickly. I really appreciate that.

There’s a big bar area and two separate dining zones. It’s never too loud, which makes conversation easy.

Parking is ample with plenty of space, and they also have a takeout door that works well with Uber Eats.“

“What a fun evening! 10 of us decended up on this unsuspecting restaurant and it turned into a fun night. The food was prepared perfectly and the flavors exploded on your pallet. Morgan was a ton of fun and made our evening that much more special. Thank you Morgan for a great evening.“

“Interesting place.........“

“Today was our one year anniversary. My wife and I came from Naches, WA. Our server tonight was just amazing. Super friendly with a smile and laugh that made our night. Thank you.“

“We went last Sunday with a group of us and had fantastic service and great food. Heather and her team were on top of all of our food and drink needs. Will definitely be back. 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Quqiit Bar and Grill absolutely knocked it out of the park. The buffalo burger was one of the best I’ve ever had—hot, thick, and incredibly juicy, cooked perfectly and packed with flavor in every bite. You could tell it came off the grill at just the right moment.
The fries were fantastic too—crispy, fresh, and the perfect complement to the burger. The place was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. And Denae, our server, was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right without ever being overbearing.
This is the kind of place you leave already looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommend—don’t skip the buffalo burger!“

“Went to MJBs for our anniversary dinner! We were in town from Wisconsin and made sure we made it to MJBs for dinner while we were here! Always amazing food and amazing staff. Our waiter, Skylar, was so attentive and friendly. The food was on point like always. Highly recommend the house chips as an appetizer. I have been craving them for months! We also ordered the bite size, which was cooked perfectly, and the jackhammer which had amazing flavor. Definitely our favorite restaurant in the valley!“

“We were traveling and stopped to get some food before heading back on the road. We so enjoy our pancakes.
Our waitress Wendy came over with a smile and took our drink order. When she was getting our drinks I noticed a man sitting at the counter being loud and giving rude remarks. We later found out he was the manager.
Wendy came back with our drinks and was taking our order, she was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave us great recommendations. Our food came out and Wendy brought everything we needed and kept refilling our drinks without having to be asked. She was very pleasant and very attentive to us even with a rude manager. Thank you Wendy, you made very tired travelers very happy.“
