50 Best American Restaurants near Leo Cedarville

“Sorry there's no picture. Whenever I come here I'm so excited to eat that I forget to snap a pic. We've been eating here almost weekly since moving to the area. We've watch this restaurant go through tough times and frequent staff changes and The ownership is changing as we speak. However, the chef has not and she's awesome! The food here is fresh, well prepared and plentiful. I've had almost everything on the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. This best coffee in the area combined with a real neighborhood feel make this restaurant a regular staple for many of the locals. My favorite item ? The breakfast potatoes. Whether they're sliced or hashed, this chef puts pure magic into those spuds, I could eat them all day. The new owner is lovely and after speaking to him a few times I can tell that he's devoted to making this restaurant a long term representation of the stereotypical Midwest food and friendliness that we've come to love. If I had to suggest anything it would be to update the decor a little bit. A little paint and some modern lighting would really make this place cozy and cute. But PLEASE keep the melting pot on the menu“

“This was my husband and I first time dining. I ordered the Eggs Benedict was the best I've had in Fort Wayne. My husband loves doughnuts so the doughnuts with Carmel sauce were a big hit. Our sever Angelica was very pleasant and kept checking on us to make sure we were happy with everything. We are looking forward to returning soon to enjoy another dining experience.Parking: Courtyard Marriott parking very close to the restaurant. It was a nice added benefit that Conners Kitchen & Bar validates.“

“Tolon has upped their menu and a new go to for us! Service is solid and friendly. My personal fave is the spaghetti and meatballs like no other! Pasta, small meatballs in a Bianca sauce - to die for! Last two visits I had to have. Burger is a safe bet also. Deviled eggs, shrimp app also a solid bet. Try main dining room or bar, not a fan of front annex room. Signature cocktails, strong wine selection. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to have a quick lunch or dinner. Friendly and helpful staff on the line and in the "kitchen". Not great to hang around and talk for awhile at, more of a touch and go atmosphere. Easy and cheap parking lot access nearby if you don't want to park on the street. Still holds the original go-to lunch feel and proudly boasts its history in Fort Wayne.Kid-friendliness: Busy atmosphere might not be ideal for younger childrenWheelchair accessibility: Not easily accessible in and out, small aisle ways“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful staff, wonderful drinks. The very first time I went there on Saturday right after we ordered our first drink the electricity went out and half of downtown Ft. Wayne. The staff brought out a bunch of candles in the atmosphere, was so beautiful and unique“

“Great experience at Klemms, food was amazing and service is quick! The staff were friendly and to the point!My wife cant eat meat and they accommodate her order by cooking it separately in a pan instead of the grill, even when they’re very busy they took care of that detail!Coffee was good and the hot chocolate delicious. My steak was my choice, it was cooked as i ordered and don’t forget about the American fries!Very recommended, would visit again!“

“Was in town for work and was looking for something different. The diverse and unique menu sold me! The chef was my waiter and he was extremely kind and passionate. The food was outstanding! I had the potatoes for an app, then the cabbage rolls for entree and had a piece of pie to go. The seasoning, freshness, and diversity of the plate was outstanding. Will for sure come back!“

“I woke up this morning at 2am with major jet lag and a strong need for a good breakfast. So, I waited for opening and took my wife for breakfast. We live the service, large portions, and great food. This is a great place to relax and have a meal.“

“Not knowing it was St Patrick’s Day, I stumbled in for lunch looking for a good Philly. Irish music was playing, good mannered customers all donned in green and gold having a good time talking and enjoying the “holiday”. The food was on point and the service great. I imagine it’s been 20 years since I moved from Fort Wayne and visited this restaurant. I will not wait so long next time!“

“I came here for lunch with a friend and it was delicious. The food was served fast. In the server was very friendly. I definitely want to come back for breakfast and dinner.Parking: Parking on the street or in the lot behind the restaurant.“

“Came here for dinner with my parents and the food was absolutely delicious. They had a vegan option on each part of the menu and plenty of vegetarian items. It was wonderful being able to order and enjoy a tofu dish while they had pork and salmon. Highly recommend the pita and hummus. Our waiter TJ was phenomenal. All this plus the space is absolutely stunning. 10/10“

“The Factory is a clean, strangely cozy restaurant. The front of house staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The servings are very generous, beautifully plated, and well worth how much they cost. The vibe and ambiance is well thought out. The historic photos add so much charm and story to the location and our city. Additionally, the seating is comfortable.Vegetarian options: Menu was not great at navigation what selections were vegetarian or what could easily become veg.Dietary restrictions: Menu is difficult to tell if an option meets dietary restrictions.Gluten free buns are available on request.“

“Our first time visiting here. Great atmosphere!! Our server Julian was great! So polite and on top of everything! Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and drinks. Thanks Julian for making our first visit great! Hope to visit again soon.“

“It’s my husband and my first time here! It seems like a more upscale sports bar when you enter. Best bar rail we have seen in a while! We let Kaitlyn our bartender know it was our first timehere. She was super sweet and had a nice welcome. Very attentive during our time there. The food was good too! Loved the pasta Kaitlyn recommended. Husband said the wings were "freaking awesome"! Thanks Kaitlyn and Pub 1802! Can't wait to come back.“

“We stopped at Henry's Restaurant for dinner and we had a great time. The server was friendly and able to answer questions and make recommendations. The food was hot and made to order. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting and offers plenty of seating. Parking can be a challenge when it is busy, but there is a large lot in the back.Parking: Parking next to the restaurant may be tight. There is a large lot just north of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: The front entrance has two manual doors and a step. Unsure if there is an accessible ramp.“

“Pulled up to grab a bite and realized it was 5 minutes until they closed, not wanting to be those customers we went to walk back to the car when the owner popped out and told us to come on in. We sat ourselves, and had service immediately. Drinks were brought out right after, placed our food order and within 10-15 minutes it was on our table. Service was absolutely amazing, will 100% be back again!“

“Family favorite, from the classic candy and retro variety of the store to the smells of old times and the nic-nacks. The store is a certain hit amoung teens, kids, and adults. The whole town is charming abd a must visit. Always check hours before driving there just in case. You dont wanna miss.“

“Everytime I come here workers n owner are very welcoming as soon as I walk in with my abuelo they sit us down immediately and take our orders quickly been coming here since I was around 12 food is always good and they are still yet to get my order “

“This was our first time at the EAST HAVEN tavern. The last night of summer weather, was perfect. ADAM was our server & HE IS TERRIFIC! Adam was fun, entertaining, friendly & had us laughing throughout the night! He made our time there, WONDERFUL !!! He was on top of everything the whole evening!!!!!! We stayed about 2.5 hours. Their patio & deck area is very relaxed & cozy ! The food was EXCELLENT! KUDOS TO THE COOKS ! I had the East Haven burger, my wife had the Bleu cheese burger. We had fries, coleslaw & macaroni salad. The garlic mushrooms were a great start to the experience! The was a lady server, don't know her name, who stopped by to check on us during the night, several times as well. !! GREAT SERVERS, GREAT COOKS, GREAT ATMOSPHERE ! WE WILL BE GOING BACK !!!“

“I can only try to put into words, how amazing Dash-In is! Far prices for excellent food. Service, mind blowing friendly. The atmosphere will make you forget you're even in a restaurant environment. Hands down one of my top. It could be yours!“

“I don't have the time to go rate the other steak houses lower, but if you're reading this and if I've given any others 5 stars...I was lying. Gas House is the only place I've been to that made a steak correctly. The closest any other has been, that I've been to, is Le Cellier. They got the crisp on the outside, the tenderness and the doneness, but left a TON of chewy, inedible white fat. Gas House rendered the fat so as to be so soft and good, at least on the ribeye I got. The ribeye came resting on a bed of andouille hash, topped with fried onions and with two sides.I got German potatoes and soup of the day (chili). The chili was... chili. Can you really perfect that? Some say you should never try. The potatoes, though, actually upset me a bit. I've been trying to cook German food for a while now, and these potatoes were better than every attempt I ever made at using red cabbage in any dish.My girl got jambalaya risotto, which came with a few big shrimp on top. She got sautéed mushrooms and onion rings as a side. I'm not a fan of shrimp or mushroom but can concur that whatever good things you're thinking the risotto tastes like, you're right.For dessert I tried Crème brûlée for the first time...I didn't like it, though I believe, from what I know of the dish, it was cooked properly. So I add this dish to the same category as mushrooms and shrimp. She got carrot cake, which was dense and good and, like the chili, it was carrot cake. Probably best not to get too creative.All that, a Mountain Dew, Texas Mule and Kentucky Mule (the Markers Mark was a little heavy here, but you do mostly pay for the booze after all) the bill was a hair over $100. It was worth it enough for me that I will go again and try their other dishes, even some ingredients I'd be loathe to try at other places.My only real criticism is how out of place the branches with the lights on them are. I'd say either plant those in a smaller room, so the amount of available ceiling doesn't dwarf the decoration, or just go all out. But it really doesn't fit in, regardless, as cool of an idea as it is on its own.“

“The food was served a little cold but was really good. Wings, burgers, and tater tots are what I’ve tried. The big guy with a beard and the lady with the blue hair are were really nice. The bartender did an amazing job making an old fashion, it was quite strong. ?“

“I've been coming here for years. since Shelby has taken over, I've had THE best experience. she's a great owner, caring and on top of everything. the bartenders and waitress are above perfect . those girls give you the best service . you can't get better“

“This is home-cooking @ it's best. One of the specials today was the volcano pot roast which I had because it's one of my favorites. The roast beef is tender & plentiful with gravy over mashed potatoes & on a piece of white bread with onion straws on top. Somehow that piece of white bread tastes so good with soaked up gravy & reminds me of my youth. Seasoned green beans with onion bits & bacon round out the perfect meal. I had the leftovers for supper & it's great reheated, too. Harlan Cafe has great skillet breakfasts, sampler, & pancakes & several different waffles done to perfection. Never had a bad meal here!“

“I've been a few times now and I LOVE this restaurant!! Every time I go I will try something new and I always love it. The staff is always very kind and attentive. The decor is pretty cool, they have a large fake lobster on a wall in a smaller "party/event" type room lol. It's just a really cool place :)“

“The food is always good. My family and I have been going here for years every Monday and they treat us very well. Excellent service. Never been to the one in Leo or on Hillegas can't speak for those. As far the one on Wells and and 4th it's very good.“

“Food was amazing. Had the ribs. Server was not the best. Had to ask several times for the same thing. When she picked up the money for the bill she asked if we needed change. Looked at the money and the 2 pull tabs and said nope you are food. I will go back but if she I'd my server I will ask for another one as it was the worst service I've had in a very long time.“

“We love this place. The staff and bartenders are amazing. All walks of life here and always a good atmosphere. Love Karaoke on Friday and Saturday when they don't have a band. They have updated the place and it's so nice and clean. No smoking inside which I love but a really nice smoking patio. Also during the warmer months they have like garage door type windows that lift so you can talk to people outside.“

“Vinland Reserve Winery is my GO TO spot for all things work and family related. I meet with clients multiple times a week during the day and bring out the family any time we are going out for dinner or weekend brunch. What I love most is how the staff takes care of me. I feel so welcome every time I’m in. Specifically our bartender/server Vangi who makes a point to greet us even when we aren’t in her section. This week was my birthday and I was in for lunch with my mother in law and Vangi heard it was my birthday and made me feel so special! I appreciate the delicious wine, AMAZING food selection and best of all the team behind Vinland. It is always time well spent there on the beautiful patio, or inside where the modern atmosphere is like no other winery in town. I will be back over and over again. An extra touch are the amazing sugar scrubs in the bathroom. Every detail, well thought out. Love this place!“

“Have you ever had an iced latte so good, it stopped you in your tracks? No? Run to Utopian Coffee and order one. I wouldn't say I'm a coffee nerd per se, but I enjoy my morning brew. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and it was perfection in a cup. It blew my mind. In fact, despite the fact that I was headed to the car for a long drive I ordered another. I knew if I didn't, I'd be driving with regret, wishing for another sip. I also ordered the bacon egg breakfast Sammy, and that was also absolute fire. Fluffy eggs, cheese, a flavorful aioli, and thick cut bacon. Yum. The service was a 10, and the space was bright and welcoming. This will be my go to for coffee when I'm visiting for work in the future. So glad I sought it out!“

“Food and service was great!Over 30 special brew beers and ciders. Interesting food options. The food we had was really good, especially the pretzel and pimento cheese. The atmosphere was very chill with low volume music in the background, which was nice. The ciders I had were excellent, and the group with me liked the variety of beers they had. There is a back patio outside with open and covered seating.Overall, it was a nice place to have some good beer and food.“

“We were 1st time visitors to Garrett IN and saw the parking lot jammed at this nice place. Always a good sign! Their Friday night fish was fantastic! Honestly, the best I've ever had, and at 75, that's saying something I asked where they sourced their breading and tartar sauce. It's all homemade by the owner. Great prices, too. This is a cozy neighborhood bar and grille with lots of charm.“

“I was seated very quickly. I was waited on by a very nice person. The food came very quickly. Far faster than most other places. The shrimp and lobster chowder was not that good. The one downside is the clear tape that I saw on the seat opposite me. It just gave me a bad vibe. It's minor and not that big of a deal but it's just not something I expected to see there.“

“During previous visits, I've always ordered breakfast (which is ALWAYS great), but this time, I ordered the Jalapeño Burger (waitress Sandy's fav), and it was delicious with just the right amount of kick. Highly recommend this mom and pops restaurant for breakfast or lunch!! Kudos to the cook!!!“

“Decent local place for a few beers. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly bartenders. ***still the exact same as it was a year ago, as it was many years ago; A local bar for locals and anybody else for that matter that is looking for a down-to-earth place to relax and have a few drinks away from the busy areas of town.“

“Great service, good food. If you are in New Haven, I would recommend it. Restaurant with a separate bar area. Little outdoor area in nice weather.Parking: Abundant parking. As far as the eye can see.Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant. Clean well kept.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of handicap parking and wheelchair accessible curb.“

“Acme has a wonderful vegan menu every Tuesday! We go almost weekly and always get the banh mi pizza, cauliflower wings, and sliders, all of which are incredible!Vegetarian options: Street tacos, taco pizza, cauliflower wings, onion sliders, salad, chili, cheesecake, nachos, crab rangoon, and more. The menu changes weekly but most of these selections are usually there. All listed items are vegan and available on Tuesdays!“

“Well I kind of go there frequently usually once or twice a week. I see these reviews of how badly the owner treats his staff and from the customer stand point I don’t see it.A lot of negative reviews and it’s a shame. Every place will have a bad day and if you happened to hit that day and never return it’s too bad. Like I said I go there often yes sometimes they are out of something but their menu is so good any other choice will be amazing. With the economy the way it is you can’t have bulk foods just in case one week everybody wants for example chili. With inflation it’s just not good business sense to throw away food every week. I think most of the complainers are disgruntled employees who would rather look at their phones than work or just show up whenever it’s convenient. Today’s workers suck. The ones they have on staff are professional and courteous and knowledgeable. I would recommend the burgers the pizza wings sandwiches basically the whole menu. So if they happened to be out of a veggie burger with hummus take your blue haired all about yourself and go graze in the parking lot“

“We were driving through New Haven and didn't want to wait another half hour to get home and eat, so we stopped in here. I got a pork tenderloin sandwich (a normal sized one not a Hoosier sized one for those of you who know what I mean. It tasted wonderful. I told my husband it tasted like it was breaded on the premises. (Maybe...maybe not...but it tasted like it.) He got a cheeseburger and fries. He was happy with both. I would definitely come back again.“

“I am a newbie to R&H. My family introduced me to the food here, and I can say I have never been disappointed. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The menu offers a variety of dishes to try, but it is not so extensive that you get overwhelmed by the choices. Highly recommended!Kid-friendliness: One of my grandsons favorites.“

“I really enjoyed the breakfast choices I have had so far, the Breakfast Manhattan and French Toast are delicious. Can't wait to return and try more and the Lunches too. I saw today that they had a special on Frog Legs. Cool, Only In America!“

“Excellent service and excellent food! We sat at the counter and got served immediately. I told the server I was gluten free and she said they could do french toast for me, with pecans and powdered sugar. It was delicious! My husband reports the coffee is good as well.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free bread available, gluten-free french toast“

“Amazing , caring and efficient staff . My granddaughter spent a day and a half there and it was extremely stress free for her mom and I. Not saying that a hospital is a choice place to visit , just better than other hospitals I’ve visited or been a patient at .“

“Awesome little hole in the wall, bar neighborhood, Lauren, Grill, Jeremiah, and and Hershey amazing bartenders always know what you want before you even want it in my life spent New Year’s Eve together and came here for the ball drop had our first kiss of the new year seen some old friends and had a drink. I don’t go out much, but when I do I love to go here, thanks Matt thanks Jeremiah for awesome night. They also have karaoke here quite a bit and it’s always fun to hear the good singers and funny to hear the not so good singers love this place.“

“I'd heard this is the best pizza in New Haven, so I decided to give it a try for lunch today. When I called in my order the gentle man that took my order was really nice and welcoming and patient being this would be my first order. My order was ready at the time I was told it would be and again the staff was even more friendly in person. When I picked up the box it was heavier than I thought it should be for a medium pizza. When I made it home and opened the box, this pizza had more toppings than I have ever seen on a pizza and it was delicious! I will certainly be back again. The only thing for me is the cigarette smoke makes the place smell bad, but I can definitely deal with that long enough to carry out a delicious pizza.“

“Had my wife’s birthday dinner and the staff was amazingly accommodating throughout the entire experience. They assured me everything would be amazing, and it certainly was, even as the headcount kept growing. Our server was fantastic, and all of the food was wonderful. Amazing vibe, of course. It was our first time but not our last—what an amazing little gem in Fort Wayne. Thank you so much!“

“Food was good but nothing was special except the broccoli casserole and croissants. I have been there in a couple years. Use to eat there often before i moved and there changed the gravy on the chicken fried steak. Not nearly as good as it was“

“I haven't been there for a long time, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, I had grilled chicken chef salad and my friend ordered the pork chop dinner, both were made to perfection, the wait staff were very attentive. The price was very reasonable, when I go the next time if my experience is as good I will give it a five star.“

“This place absolutely got me and my family off guard, we didn't really expect food to be so good. It was getting late and hardly anyone was in there, but we decided to not go out anywhere and just eat at the hotel. After we order, it about maybe 15 or so mins for the food to come out and when it did, man it was great. Burgers and fish sandwiches were great, the pasta we ordered was as good as the ones we ordered at our favorite authentic Italian place. All in all this was a great experience for me and my family.“

“Great experience. Placed my order and after exchanging a few words my order was ready. The coney dogs were great I had mined with cheese. The cheese fries and chili cheese fries were also a hit. Even got a bowl of chili that was on point. Thanks. Will be back.“
