29 Best American Restaurants in Terre Haute

“We went out for a date night today and visited J. Ford’s Steakhouse for the first time, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The food was incredible, our steaks were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and literally melted in our mouths. The truffle fries with the honey jalapeño aioli were to die for, it was the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and a little kick of spice. Our drinks were excellent, and our waiter went above and beyond to make the evening special. Between the outstanding service and the amazing food, we left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend J. Ford’s Steakhouse if you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience!“

“I loved it. It was very cute inside I was able to make reservations weeks in advance for a table of nine to celebrate my elopement. The servers were great very attentive. The food was perfect. I love that they have kombucha on tap.“

“Saratoga is by far one of my favorite new and locally owned restaurants. The food is amazing and the staff and owners are very welcoming. The bartender makes the best cocktails. My only complaint is that I didn’t try this place out sooner. Definitely recommend. Oh and the desserts are delicious as well and they are kid friendly. 5 star rating from me. 🫡“

“We all know about Culver's burger and the flavor of the days. Absolutely love that. But this review - 5 stars for this location mainly because of the atmosphere. There's a gated dog park that I thought never existed until today. It's so so helpful during long drives and it's so convenient to just leave the pup for a bit.“

“Delish .My fav“

“The food and service at this location is beyond stellar. This was my third time hitting up this location on my way to Indianapolis from St. Louis and it's always good. This time I tried the monte Cristo and it was so good. I always get the maui margarita, its my favorite.“

“good food and great service! Not often you find a family restaurant with a full bar. If you're looking for hip & slick, drive on by. But if you like cozy, comfortable and down home, this is a place to go!“

“Been here a million times services and food is always top notch. You can’t get any closer to grandmas cooking then having other grandmas cooking lol just stop reading reviews and go grab a plate you won’t be disappointed.“

“An absolute favorite of mine!! I LOVE Cackleberries!! Anytimes I come home to Terre Haute for a visit, I must stop in for breakfast. There is such a wide variety. The selection offers a little something for everyone. I am a huge fan of their omelette.They are all superb!! The waffles are the best I have ever had!! Truly the best breakfast in Vigo County.“

“Laci was amazing and so friendly. Food was fast coming out and delicious.“

“I had the triple Mushroom and Swiss burger with cheese curds in Terre Haut and it was delicious. Last year, I had it on the way to Indianapolis a Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was delicious. It was a great burger to eat leaving America to return to Southeast Asia.“

“Moon Dance were Outstanding this evening.“

“We had a great waitress on this very busy mother's day. We had a large party and our table was ready since reservations were made. The food choices were good but instead of a buffet, the waitress brought out our requests for more food when we asked. Portions were small, so she was busy! Food was good.“

“Wonderful afternoon sitting outside in the sunshine…. Has a great outdoor dining area …. Picnic tables and umbrellas, other outdoor seating

Breaded tenderloin and tater tots for lunch what more could you ask for after visiting the Larry Bird museum .“

“Excellent food and a great atmosphere. 10/10 food and definitely 100/10 for the staff and owners!“

“Walking into this place is like stepping back in time. The food was great! Old fashioned heart clogging, get your belly full breakfast! The service I received was very much lacking! My server acted as if I was a bother to her! I watched all the other servers though and they all seemed to be serving their tables with a smile! It’s the luck of the drawl when it comes to the service! But again the food was exactly like you would expect from a dinner type restaurant!“

“Dad thinking about opening a new franchise. Went into to this restaurant today on a hoilday v day the worst day for most female staff. Notice thuer was two mangers that got thier stuff together. The food was good . Fried pickles wasnt done. Still taste good or better. Bartender was nice.“

“The food was good. We waited a long time to be seated, and a longer time (1 hour) for our food. It was a Friday night and it seemed like they didn’t have enough people working. Our waitress did the best she could. I would go back, as the food was good.“

“I'd been to Mogger's once in grad school in '98, but outside of swinging in to pick someone up with car issues from there in the early noughties, hadn't been back to eat since. That I've lived up by Chicago most of the 21st century compounded my difficulties coming by. After seeing the mega cheeseburger ads on social media, I decided this winter break, it was time. The burger reminded me of those from a now defunct place back home called Riccardi's. Was quite lovely. As were the sweet potato waffle fries. The pop had a nice bite, too. I'm glad I made it and will try to eat here again before another 28 years pass.“

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service.“

“I recommend this place, food is always good and servers are excellent, good job guys“

“Traveling and wanted a good meal and got more than that at this longhorn! The service was great from start to finish(shoutout to Jorry). I have celiac disease and he was right there with answers and helped me have a safe dinning experience! The food was incredible from the taste, the cook and the sides! I got the ribeye which came out a perfect medium rare(plus) with a baked sweet potatoe and a strawberry salad that had grapes and mandarin oranges that was so light and refreshing, I would go back just for that. Hubs got the T-bone which also came out a perfect medium rare also with a baked sweet potato and we shared the asparagus and roasted mushrooms. Chefs kiss and absolutely zero complaints about this location!“

“The veggie burger was very good. The waitress was excellent. I wish I'd arrived in time to get some of the peach pie. The coconut pie was very good.“

“No complaints, the owner and employees are great. The food is always tasty. I would recommend you check it out.“

“Very good drinks great food“

“Danielle rocks !!! Thank you for the awesome rolls and the great service from Sullivan hospital“

“My wife's (Jan) birthday dinner could not be better! The Terre Haute Indiana restaurant was so nice, the waitress named Shelby L. was hospitable, attentive, and so funny! We do not do QR codes, we hope this will be sent to the Terre Haute location so they can know how much we enjoyed the experience. Thanks Shelby L.!!“

“Shout out to Jacob! My sister and I dined here on a sister’s day out on February 1st, and Jacob’s attentiveness and engaging manner made our experience too notch. Our meal was really good too, with our Asian salad crisp, and light. We followed that up with chocolate cake (at Jacob’s suggestion) and it was good enough that we forgive him for all the extra calories. :) Overall a great experience!“

“Sarah provided exceptional service. She went above and beyond from the moment we stepped into those doors. Very attentive, quick on her toes and hospitable. I asked for her opinion and went with it, and it was delicious. She knows the menu and the items served through and through. Sarah, I will be coming back on your shift, for your service!!! I highly recommend!!! Prices are high but quantity is larger than you expect and the quality of the food is just exceptional. Love this place!!“
