46 Best American Restaurants near Cicero

“We enjoyed the menu of unique and clever dishes, not a common thing to find in a small town restaurant! Shout out to our waitress Katie for being suggesting good cocktails.“

“I live in Texas but saw a CBS interview of this lovely place with the owner. First of all I wish I lived closer because my mouth was watering the entire time, but most importantly you could tell the owner, Chef Samir, is absolutely in love with what he does and how he does it. When a chef puts as much love into his food as he does, you already know its going to be amazing. This restaurant has made it to my bucket list. I hope to meet Chef Samir some day!“

“Was looking forward to eating here. The atmosphere was great, but the food was ok. For the price, I expected the food to be amazing. I got the pulled pork Mac and cheese. There was hardly any meat in it and the Mac and cheese was meh. I feel it is very over priced for the quantity. Probably won't return.“

“We had a table of 8 for my grandsons birthday. I had the cheese burger, medium well. Great taste. Cooked to perfection. Someone had the catfish and liked it. This person is very particular about their food and gave it high praise. No complaints from anyone and my son is a chef in his own rights.“

“Always a great experience!! Fast and excellent quality. Emilee was fantastic and so sweet!“

“This place has amazing food, a courteous and friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere! 10/10 would dine here again!“

“Cool laid back vibe! The wings were phenomenal! They fall off the bone and not a bit of meat is wasted! They have a decent sauce selection with some different choices than the run of the mill wing place. It was very cool that the owner was out helping the service team and stopped at our table to check on how we liked things. 10/10 recommend. I’m sure if we lived closer, we would become regulars. It will definitely be a stop whenever we are in the area.“

“Grindstones is always excellent. I had a book club meeting there in the side room. Our group always looks forward to excellent, friendly service, wonderful food, and nice atmosphere for our discussion. We meet at 1:00, post lunchtime rush and atmosphere is perfect for our discussion“

“Had a very nice lunch with wonderful service.“

“Last night was my first time eating here, it was some of the best food that I have had. I had the chicken dinner and it was excellent, highly recommend! I love the atmosphere and the music was very nice.“

“Would absolutely come back here. Service was amazing! Food is the usual fast food flare, still good. I personally had the Jagger Salad with grilled chicken. Grilled children had a nice flavor. I also had my special need son with his special needs wife and they were treated with amazing respect. Not just tolerated like many other people do. Very appreciative by this mama!! Kim was their server. She is awesome! She came by the table often to check on us. Thank you Kim!“

“I stopped by Culver’s one afternoon when I was craving a burger. I ordered a ButterBurger with fries, and it came out hot and juicy. The place had that friendly, family-style fast food vibe. I finished it with a scoop of their frozen custard, and honestly that might’ve been the best part of the whole stop.“

“Our Jimtown Winter guard stopped in to eat after our performance and they were not only friendly but took care of us in a fast professional manor and our food was sooooo delicious. Thank you so much.“

“Just had the best breakfast!! Always the fastest service too. We ordered and had our food at the table in less then 5 minutes. It was very hot, fresh, and delicious.“

“We got their banana brittle french toast and chipolte steak and queso hash. I dont like trying new things but these we're both deLICIOUS. The staff was really nice and the eait on food wasnt too long. Just be aware that if you drink the coffee it dors go on the bill. Threw us off a little bc there are mugs at every table and it like the first thing they ask but I mean we drank it so“

“We stopped in today for the first time. The food was amazing and you could tell there was lovin coming from Ginger’s oven!!!! Perfectly seasoned and homemade goodness. Thank you Ginger for coming out to share with us. You won our hearts and business. We’ll be back soon.“

“Ordered food at the drive thru on 5/13/26 @ 9 pm, employee unchanged one of the orders, I said clearly one single butterburger combo, got the cheese right this time but entered a dbl butterburger instead. Topping and condiments were scarce, drink tasted watered down and very little carbonation in the Coke. Very disappointed. The last three times I've stopped at a Culvers they unchanged because they half listen or don't omit cheese when asked.“

“what a fun local ice cream place. today there was an 11 year old girl who had written a book and was signing autographs.“

“10/10 all around. Kevin’s service was anticipatory and beyond thoughtful. Best you can find in Indiana, honestly. Great food too.“

“Stumbled upon this place when looking for Queso's but I think they must have closed. But this place looked good and it was open. Cocktails were good. Food was great and our server was attentive and friendly. I would bring my friends back for some drinks and appetizers!“

“Great food, great staff, and live music every weekend!“

“Always good food and good service“

“Awesome👌👌👌good customer service“

“In town from Texas, stumbled in by chance. Fantastic experience! Bren was THE BEST! I couldn’t get thirsty if my life depended on it. Come in and ask for her, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Super busy evening but we had excellent service. It’s very clean and the food was delicious. I had the avocado egg rolls and i highly recommend them.“

“I ordered the pulled pork dinner. $14.99 Pretty disappointed in the meat, the worst of this selection I've ever had. Lots of fat, it's usually served in bite sized pieces, easy to eat. This was not cut up at all, several large tuff pieces. I will take Carmel TRH off my list.“

“This is MY NEIGHBORHOOD Applebees and let me tell you. I’m grateful for it. Only bar that’s open until midnight weekdays and later on weekends. Sit at the bar. There are several bartenders that will take such good care of you. (Isaac & Kylie are my favorites!) and the food is almost always great. Sometimes this guy will come in to eat and read off trivia questions just for fun! All that to say - this is Applebees. Get the oriental chicken salad with grilled chicken. Get the bourbon street steak. Get the apple dessert. Get the chicken quesadilla. And try a mudslide! Yummm.“

“Unique, poker-themed restaurant with an extensive menu with excellent breakfast fare. Have been eating there for years. Highly recommended.“

“Portions are huge. Had the sloppy joe and it was the best sloppy joe I've ever had. My son in law had the ribeye sandwich and it was a huge ribeye. He said it was excellent. Prices very good. Nice selection of craft beer. Erin the bartender was outstanding! Great service! Only downside is the smoking for me. Come from a state where smoking isn't allowed indoors at restaurants, pubs, bars so an adjustment for me. Overall was a great experience.“

“There were kiosks to order, but when we walked in, a man offered to take our order. This was nice because it allowed us to pay with cash. The food was ready in around 7 minutes. The food was prepared the way we ordered it and it was nice and hot. Great experience.“

“🫎
Moose offers a peaceful and quiet environment, making it an excellent spot for a hassle-free overnight stay in your car. The parking area is wide open, providing plenty of space and easy access. While Google Maps lists it as a food pantry, I visited twice and found no food available, suggesting it might be an occasional or scheduled service. Despite this, the convenience and undisturbed nature of the location exceeded my expectations, making it a very worthwhile choice for a peaceful night's sleep.“

“Excellent food. Lots of Mexican restaurants around but not a lot of standouts. This one is superb. Our go to for Mexican cuisine“

“Amazing all the way around!!!! My family was on vacation from Ohio and wanted to celebrate a birthday. Frances was amazing at helping me coordinate the party for 18 the day of within an hour! She got us a semi-private room with buffet style food which was super delicious. Taylor was our server and made sure everyone was taken care of and enjoying themselves. She was very attentive and extremely friendly. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure the night was perfect, and this is very rare these days. We played putt putt afterward and had a blast! Customer service is top notch! Thank you to everyone at Birdie's for making a last minute event such a wonderful experience that we will always remember!“

“there is always some issue trying to get my order if I do pickup. doesn't make a difference if I choose curbisde or carry out lol. it ends up taking 3x longer every single time. but they're always eager to help figure it out and very friendly. and the ice cream never disappoints.“

“People that write bad reviews about this place children and afraid of their own shadow. It’s the kind of people that seek out (and cause) problems. If you want a place to have a few beers (or a lot), this is your jam. Friendly and attentive staff with food that is a step above the traditional “bar food.” Dont believe the negative BS. If you want to be you while having drinks, this is your neighborhood bar.“

“Had a great experience at Chili's tonight! The food was excellent, came out hot, and everything was exactly as ordered. What really made the visit stand out, though, was our server, Jay.
Jay was friendly, attentive, and had a great attitude from start to finish. He checked on us at just the right times, kept drinks filled, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. Service like that can turn a good meal into a great experience.

Thanks, Jay, for making our visit such an enjoyable one. We'll definitely be back! 🌶️🍔👏“

“great stuff all around. staff was great as well as the food. our waiter was top notch. he sat us in the bar area so he could keep an eye on us while also covering the bartender for her break. excellent job all around young man. we was in there about 330ish today. we will mos def be back“

“Friendly service and great food“

“We visited for the first time on 6/13, and my son and I decided to give it a try. The customer service was top-tier—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive.
The food was very tasty! In my opinion, it's a little overpriced, but honestly, what isn't these days? We dined in and enjoyed both our meal and the atmosphere. I had the chicken wrap, and my son ordered the chicken and waffles. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying one of their delicious desserts in a jar!
Overall, we had a great first experience and would definitely return.“

“Food was very good.
Service was excellent. We had a Shawn
Sunday afternoon. He took very good care of the four of us in our group. When we come back to Applebees we hope to have Shawn again. He deserves 5 stars.
Thank you.
Clara & James Curry“
