34 Best American Restaurants in Meridian

“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona“

“Service and food were fantastic. Jessica and Kyle were amazing. The checked often to see if we needed anything and if everything was as we wanted it. The chef is amazing. The salmon and cod were perfectly cooked.“

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.“

“Fantastic food! Our first time going there and everyone in my ground loved what they ordered. They have a pb and j burger which is my absolute favorite! Also there is a table for kids with some toys which was perfect for us.“

“Came to this establishment when they were extremely busy. No issues with this establishment they promptly took our order and had all of our food within 15 minutes. Everything tasted good and was hot. Waiter was very attentive and was a gem. Should have gotten his name for a shout out... but definitely a very nice establishment with good service. Really this place I would give a 4.5 as of the time I am writing this...“

“The Wisconsin chain made it to Idaho. Good too! The place is clean as a whistle, the food is fairly priced, and salads are no-cost alternatives to fries. Make sure to order a frozen custard. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful too. This place is a winner in every way, except that the area's traffic is terrible.

A second visit was enlightening. I was early for a lunch date. The manager let me have a solo cup for a drink while I waited. Then I skipped the cup when my lunch date showed up and we later ordered our meals. Very nice customer service.“

“absolutely delicious 🤤 one of my favorite restaurants now.“

“This place is the best in Meridian! The staff knows what customer service is, especially Alec and Emma! The food and choices are great! I’m not much of a drinker so go the there strictly for the food! and the service and vibe! Have and will recommend to everyone I know!!“

“I love Their FISH TACOS! The best!“

“We love Monday night league!!! 🏌️⛳️“

“I just had to write a review to acknowledge the great lunch we recently had the pleasure of having at Marie Callender's in Meridian. My friend and I were on our way home (to Council) from Salt Lake City and were looking for somewhere to have a good lunch, well this was definitely the place to go! It was the best meal we had in the last 2 days and it didn't cost us an "arm and a leg". and we each had a slice of pie!!! When in this area next time this is where to go!! Great staff as well!!“

“First time at Terri's Cafe. Food was great with general amounts, service was spot on and our waitress (Lyalka) was enjoyable.“

“Brian is the best!!! We dine at the Yard House often and are always happy but today took the cake. Brian kept our drinks full with a smile on his face. Not an easy feat since I drink water like it's going out of style. He even noticed my husband's order and offered a suggestion for next time that we will absolutely be back for. We really couldn't ask for a better person to help us enjoy a night without the kids!“

“Cannot say enough about this awesome place! Food was excellent and our server, Cory, was exceptional. Our first time here and we will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.“

“Great Breakfast choices! Delicious food.. Small restaurant but cozy. Worth the 30min. wait to be seated.“

“I had breakfast there with my Mom this morning. The hostess Jess was very engaging with not only us but other customers as well. Very nice demeanor as well as accommodating.“

“OMG !! So I just had the best customer service from the manager tonight at Applebees, I wish I got his name anyway, he was awesome . I had my food delivered from a different service and my drink was missed and I called just to ask what happened, not a big deal by any means it’s just a drink, right . Well I told him it was all fine and not a big deal just wanted to figure it out. Didn’t know whose fault but The manager at Applebees 100% made it more then right, I appreciate him very much thank for doing what you did i hope you see this because you are doing Awesome ?“

“All around great place! Amazing food! Amazing staff! So friendly! Great prices! The Cuban grilled cheese is amazing, banana bread is amazing, soups are amazing! Best of all is it’s mostly gluten free. Which works for me!😁 definitely will be coming back! Hands down 10/10! If you haven’t been there you need to try it! What a hidden gem!“

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.“

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service“

“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!“

“Let me begin with a disclaimer: I have lived a full life. I have kissed mouths that were made of sin and stardust. I’ve tasted truffle risottos in overpriced restaurants where the waiter looked down on me for asking for more bread. But none—none—of those experiences compare to what happened between me and Chili’s Baby Back Ribs. First bite? Instant goosebumps. I closed my eyes and saw my ancestors nodding in approval. The meat is so tender it practically slides off the bone like it’s trying to seduce you. And the sauce—oh God, the sauce—is like a smoky, sweet whisper in your ear saying, “You’re never going back to dry chicken breasts again, baby.” I was knee deep in bbq sauce. Let’s address the elephant in the Chili’s dining room: Yes. The Office. Yes. “🎵 I want my baby-back, baby-back, baby-back…” was sung. Yes. I wept a little imagining Kevin Malone wiping his mouth and going back for more. This isn’t just a meme—it’s prophecy fulfilled. This wasn’t dinner. This was foreplay. This was therapy. This was my Roman Empire. If loving these ribs is wrong, I don’t want to be right. And if this is the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth (and trust me, the competition was stiff), then so be it. My mouth has spoken. And it speaks only the gospel of Chili’s. Amen. Pass the wet wipes.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (and an extra ⭐️ for Lucy!)
We were seated immediately, and the food was delicious. Best part was our server, Lucy! She was on top of everything from start to finish and clearly had our entire experience in mind. Her helpful suggestions made the meal even better. Lucy deserves 6 out of 5 stars!“

“Ok 2nd time at Rudy's in Meridian and service both times was amazing, food was hot , fast and good and priced reasonably. Definitely worth trying...I personally love the Rueben, perfect mix of tart sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on marbled Rye, fries are crisp, Onion rings are perfectly cooked. Crispy wings are great.“

“What a great burger and fries! Grand daughter ordered chicken strips and they were delicious as well! GREAT FOOD and SEVICE! Friendly staff! Will go back again for sure!“

“I had a great experience at Big Al’s thanks to our server, Logan. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Drinks stayed full, food came out fast, and he checked in just the right amount without being overbearing. It’s clear he really cares about giving great service and making customers feel welcome.“

“Our company used the Meridian, Idaho location to cater breakfast to our office for over 160 people. All I can say is WOW. Everything was still hot and delicious. They were on time to the exact minute they said they would be here. We are very grateful and will certainly use them in the future. Shout out to Sarah and the Meridian Managers!! Thank you.“

“I got the chicken stripes and husband got a burger everything was really good and we sat outside 👍“

“I have visited the Meridian RAM off and on for close to 2 decades. Recently the staff is outstanding ( the trainees are works in progress) My favorite server is Lindsey ( dark beautiful curly hair) - she is all business. Now if your lucky to be there on a day Stacy ( works in bar area) she is the smartest and most knowledgeable- she will make sure your shit is right! Greg is the pizza and drink master, any drink - he knows how to make it Look and taste even better! I would suggest you ask him for a ' G - shot ' one of his specialties. The food is solid, pizza crust the best ( when they don't run out) but overall, you can't go wrong stopping in a place where the management and staff care. The food and atmosphere are good if your looking for a good night out, ask about the specials - Tuesday happy hour is one of the best in the valley ( Giggy D's better) Enjoy!! Ill be back again soon #99“

“Dope environment. Family owned. And great food“

“Nicole is our favorite waitress. She is always so friendly and kind. She is so efficient. She always recognizes us when we come in. She has never made a mistake on our order either. We go for breakfast every Wednesday. We love Shari’s because of Nicole . She is an asset to Shari’s.“

“Jakers Bar and Grill was an unexpected treasure! We enjoyed our entire visit! Our meals were delicious! We started with the Tender Steak Bites & Mushrooms, then each had a delicious salad… both were excellent! I enjoyed the Fish & Chips and my fiancée enjoyed the Coconut Shrimp with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The Irish beer was most excellent! Our server, Ms. Sherry, did a wonderful job meeting our needs! We will definitely have to make another visit!“

“Great experience! Catered wonderfully to our allergy needs! Were very sensitive to our celiac disease and went over and beyond to make it safe for us.. so appreciate the caution they took! First restaurant my son has been able to go to for the last 3 years; made his day! I realize not all red robins may be as cautious but the one in meridian on eagle was terrific!“
