50 Best American Restaurants near Wadsworth

“Out first experience at The Wadsworth Inn. Charming interior. Noisy crowd at the bar having fun. Chose our seats. Excellent drinks. Noisy crowd joined us in the dining room. Food was outstanding. Debby, not our server, came to talk to us, offered to take our 49th anniversary picture. Sweet woman. Price of the food was worth every penny. Generous portions, hot and delicious. We will be back with our own noisy crowd! Live music was excellent!“

Theres a hostess there named Melissa who is absolutely wonderful and nice and made me feel extra comfortable gaming there . Shes always checking how people are doing and always make sure people have refreshments. Would defintly recommend this place !“

“As a frequent guest, familiarity with a restaurant can sharpen both appreciation and critique, and my most recent visit offered a bit of both. Despite a typically packed Friday evening, our reservation was honored immediately—an efficiency that regulars have come to value at this always-busy establishment. The evening’s only notable drawback began with the seating. As a party of two, we were placed near the bar in a high-traffic area, which, combined with the restaurant’s characteristically high noise level, made for a less intimate dining experience. Service was prompt and capable, though somewhat impersonal. Culinarily, the meal was uneven but largely successful. The walleye fish fry, a dish I had been anticipating, was merely average and carried a slightly fishy note that raised questions about freshness. In contrast, the eggplant and shrimp dishes were well executed and thoroughly enjoyable, reminding us why we return so often. Taken as a whole, this visit reflected the restaurant’s usual strengths with a few minor missteps. While not a standout evening, it was still a solid experience and, consistent with most visits, earns a respectable 4 out of 5.“

“We went to El Camino to celebrate the Birthday of my son's fiancé. We had a great time. The food was delicious and seeing there were 12 of us we had a good variety of menu items. Everyone loved it. our waitress Emma was a pure delight. It was pretty busy when we got there and she never missed a beat. Very friendly, attentive, and prompt. Great food,service, and atmosphere. we highly recommend.“

“We recently had a very special family event at The Board Room, and it was absolutely amazing. The room, decor, and food were all fabulous! Working with the team to coordinate the event was so easy, and the staff that worked our party was attentive and friendly. Would 100% recommend!“

“Staff is always friendly, gave us a free t-shirt as well. Food is amazing every single time! Best chicago style food in the area.“

“Really enjoyed our visit to MBC. Our bartender, Christian, was spot on. She answered my many questions quickly and correctly. A small mix-up in my order was remedied immediately. Good draft selection. (32 0z. option, mmm). Cheese curd sampler outstanding. The two of us almost couldn't eat more. Glad we did, though. Double patty smash burger, yummy. Three bacon choices, yummy. (Think large Steak and Shake, but GOOD). Fresh cut fries, battered fries, and tons of menu choices. Will be back.“

“This has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat. Every visit feels welcoming because the staff are genuinely kind and always make us feel right at home. That level of hospitality keeps us coming back just as much as the food.

The meals are consistently delicious, and we've never had anything less than a great experience. It still feels like one of those hidden gems that's waiting to be discovered. If you appreciate flavorful food, friendly people, and a relaxed atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“We went to Kenosha’s Mission BBQ. I was extremely pleased with the quality of service from the minute we walked in. We were greeted by Alex as if we were old friends. I need to add that I had never met this young man before walking in the door. I have dietary restrictions. He helped me place my order, provided nutrition lists and helped to make sure everything I ordered matched my needs. I have never had any restaurant help me with such sincerity before. We were also helped by a second employee to make sure the elderly person with us had the best seat for her needs. She later stopped back to see how everything else was. In addition, Alex stopped back to see if I was happy with the food choices he helped me choose. We were again surprised when Alex stopped back yet again with a special dessert treat and helped me to determine how much of it I could safely eat. I can only say “Wow!” I will certainly go back here again and if I had the ability I’d give Alex a raise! We were made to feel as if we mattered not just as customers but as people. I wish more places had employees Thank you Alex! If this is how Mission BBQ provides service more companies could learn from them and from Alex.“

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??“
