50 Best American Restaurants near Swansea

“Thank you Sean Hall for the great explanation!! Now that I know I will go.“

“I will start this review with a very positive remark. Since I typically eat alone, I love to sit at the bar. Ella was my bar/server. She was so methodical and efficient in her service and always had a smile on her face! Once service slowed down, I chatted with her and found out she is only 21 years old. Her work ethic was amazing! You are so fortunate to have her in your establishment! It was a Saturday night, and the atmosphere was exciting with all of the college football on TV. Unfortunately, I did have a bit of a problem with some of the food. The spinach/artichoke dip wasn't hot. I had to send it back to be reheated. Presentation was mediocre. Some of the chips were crispy and perfect, and some were stale and chewy. They were quite inconsistent. I also ordered the wings, and they were amazing as always! My grandkids love to go to Fletcher's for their wings whenever they come to visit! That doesn't happen very often as they are now stationed in Germany. Ella told me you love to read reviews. I don't like to say anything negative, but I hope this helps. Important to be honest. Thank you so much for having your business 5 minutes from my house! Best Regards!

“Great place!! Friendly awesome staff and the other patrons were also super. Can't wait to go back!“

“I was curious if there was a reason that they haven't been open lately. They've been working on the roof, opening soon?“

“YAW'L, I HAD TO GO AND GET ME A BEEF NACHO FROM APPLEBEE'S, SO GOOD. AND YAW'L, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING GOOD AND NOT THE SAME THING ORDERED AT APPLEBEE'S ALL THE TIME. TRY THE QUESO DIP AND CHIPS. SO GOOD!!! MAYBE ADD MORE CHIPS AND DIP OR BEEF. YOU GOT A COMPLETE MEAL...GOOD!!!❤“

“Such a beautiful place! Amazing staff! The cocktails are top tier. Very inclusive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ordered turkey white bean chili, bbq sand on brioche (both daily specials), rosemary jalapeño fries, breakfast burrito to share. I sampled all and absolutely delish! Each item tasted extraordinary. I love this place because everything I order is made with carefully crafted flavors and texture—down to the salsa served on the side of burrito. It was homemade and fresh—not jarred. Burrito stuffed with eggs, chorizo, bacon, and more—ordered mine without potato. Smoky, not too spicy—YUM! BBQ was tender and tasty but chunky and not stringy—how delightful! Fries are always great and I must order every time I go. Chili had nice chunks of succulent turkey—you could see and taste the turkey. This place never disappoints and gets better every time I go.“

“Great Food! Can't get a better burger in town! Everyone is always friendly and smiling! I love there ice-cream, they have all kids of flavors! The gyros, wings and philly sandwich are excellent! I have never gotten bad food there! It's always a 5 star restaurant to me!“

“Went for dinner on a Sunday. Great food specials, quick service and cold beer. Almost all parties dinning had a kid with them so definitely a family friendly environment. Pizza is delicious!!“

“Better than I remembered. Been a while since I was here. Bourbon Street Steak was so tender I could almost cut it with a fork. Mashed potatoes were creamy and so hot. Best part was the service. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Or was it the decadent Cinnabon swirls. So good!“

“One of my favorite places !!! Everything is so good!!“

“The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and inviting ambiance makes it a standout in the city's dining scene. Their Tandoori Chicken and lamb tikka masala is amazing! Every dish is a masterpiece! Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is one restaurant you do not want to miss. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings. Five stars all the way!“

“Delicious. I go there for the fish and Soul Food Sundays. The staff is amazing. The food is always hot. The dishes are plentiful. You will definitely be full and satisfied. You can’t go wrong by patronizing this establishment.“

“First time here and the food and service was amazing. Will come back again for sure!!!“

“Really good but please if you go there just be aware the portions are insane. I’m not sure why any restaurant would have portions this large. The kids meals are like an adult meal and an adult meal would serve two adults. I just wish we had known that because we were visiting from out of town so could not bring home any leftovers. I felt absolutely terrible wasting so much food.“

“Great lunch menu, on a budget. All made from scratch meals.“

“Rise n Shine catered my daughter's graduation party on May 20th 2023the food was excellent and it was hot n fresh.Owner and employees very nice and professional. Will Continue to order from here.THANKS?“

“good food, friendly staff“

“Normally I LOVE this place ... not tonight. 45 mins in the drive through to get a cold burger handed to me , minus my concrete. She said she would go back and get it. Waited 10 more minutes , went inside , the line is out the door . Asked for my concrete, they handed me a completely melted cup of custard .... I asked for my money back. They had plenty of help , but no organization . They were all running around doing 2 or 3 different things , not organized at all, The manger was no where to be found .. I was told she was in the bathroom. When she finally came out , she had an I do nit really care what your complaint is attitude . I got my money back and left ... normally the food is hot and fresh, it takes a bit , but I have never seen such a mess as tonight !“

“Great place to hang with friends during the COVID shutdowns. Tables are set up to seat 6 people and are separated from other tables and guests. The staff is extremely friendly and they always wear their masks. The heaters are super warm and the firepits seem to warm the whole area!“

“love it here I am bringing my girlfriend here real good food“

“Always so nice total mom and pop place. Food is amazing with good proportions. They even sent me a birthday message on Facebook just the sweetest people.

“My daughter and I ate at First Watch on January 25,2024, the food was good as always. So as we were leaving I went to pay and my daughter and granddaughter went to the car, my comes in and say mama I locked the keys in the car and my granddaughter is in there. She called O’Fallon police and so did one of the staff did as well. The police community service worker came out and tried unlocking the door for about 20 minutes, remind you my granddaughter is in there and it’s cold and raining. Next thing I know almost the whole staff came out and tried everything they can do because they seen we were out there for a long time. I finally got ahold of my insurance company and they sent someone out and they was able to unlock my door finally. Big shout out to the staff at First Watch for all your help, my daughter and I really appreciate you all ❤️“

I know I will definitely be back!!“

“This is a great place to eat! We go every Friday for fish, and they have the BEST fish and staff! The owner is so friendly“

“Next place to eat brunch“

“I love this place! I always make a point to stop here on roadtrips. It's got awesomely cheap food for how good it is. The portions aren't big but I love that because you can order two or three different things to try for a meal and I love variety. The mexican food reminds reminds me of Tex Mex from back home and the bbq is really good. I had the beef enchilada, Tamale with Chili, and have tried the brisket sandwich in past. All are super good! Tables are good for small or large parties. Staff are friendly and efficient. AND it's attatched to a really good coffee shop for dessert. I mean, could it get any better??“

“Delicious food, generous servings, reasonably priced and attentive & pleasant server. Overall very nice early Sunday afternoon dining experience for 4 senior (70-83) mobile citizens. To paraphrase Gen. MacArthur - We shall return!“

“We hadn’t been at Horseshoe for a number of years, but lately it seems to be one of our go to restaurants. Have only had to take back my food once (a rarity for me). The food, wait staff and jukebox is what brings us back. Was there today with my son who’s disabled. He hates getting out of the house, but loves the jukebox. (He likes singing to his favorite song (The Star Spangled Banner). The staff is attentive and a special shout out to Kim. We were celebrating a special weekend for me. Realizing that the chicken strips means chicken “nuggets” to him, made my day. (It’s the little things.)“

“Our server was excellent. The manager Daniel was very nice we never had to ask for anything.“

“Buffalo cauliflower is a must order for us. The place is beautiful with great staff!“

Was surprised to see a couple of kids in there( must be a thing)...aside from that the food, service and atmosphere was on point...going to pop in the next time live music or dj is on site...this will be a new favorite place! Who knew Collinsville was jumping off like that!?“

“Great Selection, Quality, and customer service“

“Good food at this Irish themed bar and grill. The Reuben is top-notch, with house-smoked corned beef on marble rye from nearby Kruta Bakery. Our other favorites include the fried green beans, the wings, the fish plate (fried Haddock), and the Irish burger (which is smothered in onions, bacon and cheese and served on a Kruta bun). Good selection of beers. Service is reliably quick and friendly. Clean and well maintained. Patio seating available. TVs for the game, pool tables, darts.“

“I love the Eckert’s country store.
Whether you’re picking apples at the orchard, dining at the Eckert’s restaurant, you need your stop by the store before you leave.
I love bring my family here and pick up some delicious goodies.
On our last visit we got some delicious red apples, a jar of apple butter (so good?), apple cider, and a 4 pack of 16oz apple/peach hard cider.
We love coming here multiple times, and try different goodies every time.

We will be back for the pumpkin patch!“

“Love coming to Sybergs. We enjoyed a burger, chicken and drinks on this football Sunday. Great vibes with plenty of TVs.

Our waitress, McKenna was her usual self - attentive and courteous. We will continue to frequent the O'Fallon Sybergs. A+“

“great people great food great prices“

“When I moved here 6 yrs ago I feel in love with Fletcher's because it's the only place in the county to get good food past 9pm. Whether it's full menu or late night....delicious. Again tonight I find myself there to feed my family good quality food. The great customer service is icing on the cake. An underrated local gem.“
