14 Best American Restaurants near Waterloo

“August 23, 2024 First time playing Annbriar & loved it. Tees, fairways & greens were in very good condition! I really liked the layout with many uphill & downhill shots required. Elec carts & GPS?“

“Yesterday a celebration of life was held in the Mystic Oak banquet room with catering by Mr. BBQ. The food, service and courtesy was amazing. Karen was very considerate and helpful in keeping the event stress free. Just what we needed under the circumstances. Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon. I will definitely hold another event there.“

“I have always found the staff here to be super friendly, some are a little more attentive than others but the service is generally good. I ordered the fish and chips. Our server stated the fish comes with fries, I wasn’t sure how to take that as I have a noticeable British accent. The fries were a little dry but the food was hot and fish was
good. The restaurant is also clean and well maintained.“

“Sam & Stacy are so awesome and the sweetest persons ever they both do a amazing job and are so great with their customers and always have big smiles every time we are there. So check these beautiful ladies out next time you are in Waterloo,IL Denny’s 😊“

“We love the cocktails, steak night, and brunch. The kids don’t really love the dinner menu so we just steer away from family dinner.“

“Potato skins were awesome! Hot honey pepperoni pizza was good, but not great! Cheese didn't seem completely melted. MOD pizza beats them here, and that shouldn't be. We had to ask for a refill. However, our waitress was super nice. The hostess and bar tender were very nice. The place has TV views and a variety of sports playing, so over experience was really good!“

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.“
