30 Best American Restaurants in Muncie

“OVER ALL GREAT EXPERIENCE !!! FOOD WAS VERY GOOD !!! WE BE RETURNING“

“The food is always tasty and Megan is the best server there is!“

“Good food! Our waitress was amazing! Definitely on the pricier side so Definitely was a treat out kind of night. 👌🏻“

“We ate here for the first time today and I have to say that the food is absolutely delicious! The place is really calm and didn't to earth. They have several options on the menu and that's something I really like verses not having many options. The staff was very kind and I'll absolutely return. This restaurant is very well worth it!“

“Delicious! I was in the mood for a really good omelet and this place did not disappoint! Everything from the fresh squeezed orange juice to the omelet and everything in between was perfect. We went there for brunch. I highly recommend if you're in the Muncie area.“

“If you’re looking for a laid back, no frills spot, Cheers is the place to go. It’s a cozy little hole in the wall bar, but that just adds to its charm. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with friendly staff and affordable drinks. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy life without feeling out of place. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into a chill atmosphere.“

“This was my first time eating at Culvers. The food was great,. Loved the butter burger! This particular store could have been a little cleaner but it was lunch time and they were very busy. The condiments area was almost completely empty and they seemed a little short staffed. That being said, those who were there were friendly and helpful in getting what we needed. I'll definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place for lunch or otherwise.“

“Love the place. I would eat here at the Muncie location every time when I visit Muncie when I was a little kid. Even though I would eat here occasionally but the food is still amazing. I can’t complain. Food outstanding, staff friendly, and relaxing atmosphere. I love any MCL.“

“great service, perfect cook on the steaks, a lot of flavor... great sides, sweet tea is sweet and the price is great!!! can't wait to come back! we try a lot of different steak houses, a different 1 every weekend, Amazing Joe's has been the best!!!“

“Good beer. Nice people. Could be faster in the kitchen but they get busy.“

“I went here during a slow time in the day the other day. The food was absolutely incredible. My dad, being from Muncie, recommended this place to me to try out with some friends. We ended up taking our food to go, and the food held up even being eaten the next day. The staff was so friendly, and I enjoyed going. Will go again!“

“Since Rubys 50th Anniversary we visit the Muncie location almost weekly. Great service (Ivy), great ribs (bourbon sauce), a salad bar, and great promotions on the App. Thanks for being in our community.“

“I’ve ate their several times definitely good food. I really enjoyed the red curry and green curry. Their grilled chicken salad is good too. Service can be slow at times but my orders were always and and food has always been good. Definitely recommend eating here.“

“I became a patron for the food and the general atmosphere. Now it’s my go-to to get out of the house. This little gem is Muncie’s best-kept secret. Known for their statue of Paul Bunyan, this bar serves all the usual bears and has a fairly deep liquor shelf. Their food is out of this world. I personally recommend the ribeye sandwich and fried mushrooms.“

“Excellent service. Great food. The staff is friendly and professional. The menu has gone through a recent change and I am finding excellent new entree’s and drinks to try. Head of house, Addy, invented my new favorite cocktail The Peachy Palmer. I highly recommend.“

“We had a date night tonight and the food was amazing (Thursday special of shrimp scampi and lobster). We also shared the Margarita Flight and loved it (we had the hot spices left off of the passion fruit one). The Brussels sprouts are worth the upgrade for a side. Service was also excellent. That's why we come back!“

“Was very impressed with food, service and friendliness.“

“Bartender Angel was being rude and talking about us behind our backs. Expecting tips when I'm here to have fun. Getting rude at other customers for eating food a friend of mine brought for EVERYONE. Fire this woman. I don't appreciate the rudeness or the talking behind our backs.“

“Extremely impressed when we went there for lunch today. Very friendly staff and the food was fast and amazing!!!!! Will be visiting there again very soon.“

“I appreciate how nice Vera Mae’s is without be stuffy or uncomfortable. The food and service is always fabulous.“

“great staff, great service“

“Awesome venue to see an underground band, cheap drinks cool bartenders and staff. Diverse and inclusive vibe. First time I ever had fun at karaoke was at BHN. Visually stimulating place, art everywhere. Only problem? Should be way more crowded. Tell your friends!“

“Stopped here for breakfast with my wife. The workers were a bit loud chatting back and forth but not obnoxious. My only complaint is that they were out of cinnamon raisin biscuits and that was what my wife wanted. The pancakes and fries bologna biscuit was good. But I can't get enough of the hash rounds. They are yummy.“

“Going out to eat is generally a challenge for our family with a severe food allergy but that was not the case at Applebee's. They are very good and made us at ease with all the precautions they take making sure to provide us with proper information and full ingredients listed. Muncie Applebee's is a favorite for us. Sarah our waitress was awesome!

Dietary restrictions: They have an allergen menu available to view the information needed when handling a food allergy.“

“I’ve been here so many times I can’t count and every time is better than the last! So much fun, great music, great service, food is top tier! Bartenders definitely know how to make a delicious drink. Try the jalapeño popper burger and sweet potato tots: FIREEEE!“

“Normally I’d give Roadhouse a 5 but not this time. Our food was brought out by a guy that had hair hanging below his eyes. I told the waitress that it was unsanitary she agreed and said several people had complained about him. Why is he still working“

“I usually visit Muncie in the summer, so when I come here, it’s usually empty at the cup. This time I had an iced latte and a breakfast sandwich, both of which were excellent. This is always one of my must visit stops when I return to my hometown.“

“This was a good experience. Good food, not a long wait at 6:00 about 15 minutes. We sat in the bar area at a table quick to ask us for our drink order but then she had to take care of the bar drinks so it took a few before we got our order in. Once we did normal wait on food to be made when it came out tasted good“

“Our family always gets together for breakfast on Thanksgiving. Usually we go to another local restaurant that has a little back room that we reserve for the morning. This morning we went to that restaurant and it was completely closed with no cancellation of our reservation or anything. So last-minute scramble for somewhere for 20 people to go for breakfast. Bob Evans was more than accommodating the food, and the service was wonderful. I should have gotten the name of our waitress as she did a great job! Overall wonderful experience, especially with the last-minute nature of the situation!“

“We came here for dinner around 6:30. I didn't get the best picture but we ordered a drink, fries, onion rings, double garlic steak burger, a Frisco burger, extra sauces (ranch and Frisco).

It only took 5 minutes to get our order, which beats most fast food places I've been to recently. They made our order correctly, the dining area is CLEAN and properly stocked with the napkins, condiments and such. An employee was out cleaning and wiping the drinks area several times, it's as if the employees here actually care about the way they do their jobs. My pre-tip total was $20.70 for 2 people which happens to be about the same or cheaper than many other places around especially for food like this.
You can clearly see how they have kept costs down to offset the rising prices a bit by eliminating the cash register positions and adding the scanner on the fountain drinks. (If you haven't seen these yet, don't worry, someone will show you what to do)

This is a great experience and doesn't seem to deserve a 3.9 rating. It deserves a full parking lot. Employees from competitors should be coming here to see what it looks like when a job is done right. Well done 👏“
