21 Best American Restaurants near Wakarusa

“My company ordered in lunch for us on Friday. Pizzas from Shortstop. Words can not adequately describe how good these pizzas were. Our area is really devoid of ANY good pizza. THIS is the pizza I've been looking for since we moved to the area years ago! I will be ordering regularly from this place. We also plan to go for dinner one day very soon. If the service is slow, we will be fine with it, as good help is VERY hard to find today. Learn to be patient with people doing their best under difficult circumstances.“

“My son and I like to try small locally owned restaurants and he suggested this one. So glad he did. The food was so good, very tasty! And the service was excellent. Fast, courteous, attentive. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and a patty melt which came with chicken enchilada soup (the best we have ever had) and fries. We also ordered the potato bombs which were spicy and delicious. My son ordered the banana split waffle for dessert and the picture on the menu does not do it justice! He said it was just amazing. We will definitely be back! 5/5 stars!“

“The wife and I had the fish for lunch today June 27. 2025. It was delicious along with the bread, the sides and the tartar sauce. We will be going back.“

“We've been here three times now and the food has always been great! Today I had hash browns, eggs, sausage, white toast. My wife had a BLT with sweet potato fries. The portions are generous too. Check out this hidden gem if you get a chance.“

“Outstanding homemade food and friendly staff! In town for business, my colleagues and I stopped for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions, outstanding taste and quality and great price! Our sever was wonderful, as were all of their staff. Another great place to add to our list when we’re in the area!“

“I would give them 5 stars but they don't have a driving range. You must tee off crossing the St. Joseph river on 4 holes and the course is beautiful. It is for accurate golfers or those with plenty of extra golf balls for sure. One of my favorite courses in a 6 county area.“

“First time dining there. Food and service was amazing. Will definitely be going back.“

“I love this place! The owner and staff are great?food is ?“

“Shout out to Hunters Hideaway Bar and Grill for hosting our 15 year class high school reunion! The Manager was so accommodating through the planning process. The staff and service was great and so organized the day of! Drinks and food were on point. Very pleased and grateful for such a fun day had by this Nappanee restaurant! Definitely recommend!“

“Good food and staff are so sweet to young kids.“

“Food & drinks were amazing. We had baked Brie, stuffed risotto, Alfredo, & salon. 🤤 The drinks were pretty & tasted great!“

“A great place all around. Met the owner and he is a very nice gentleman.“

“Service was excellent. Quick and on time. Food was mostly good. Had breakfast and the only complaint I have is the hash brown potatoes were severely under cooked. Barley browned on one side and the rest was like mashed potatoes.
My whole wheat toast was forgotten about but was brought to the table within 5 minutes.
Was mostly good and will definitely try it again.“

“It’s cool but the DJ sucks and needs to play more Leonard Skynard. He smokes too much. The chics are hot. Oh yeah. The DJ thinks he’s God’s gift to this dive bar though.“

“I Ate at your restaurant today with a group from my church, 20 people in all. Our waitress, Adallise , did such a wonderful job taking care of all of us, keeping everything running smooth. My congrats to her!! Thank you , Adallise .“

“My boyfriend and I have been here several times and the last few we've had a server named Hannah. She's truly the best server we've ever had. She's attentive and on top of everything. We will always come there and request her. The food is on point EVERY single time. Never a complaint.“

“Rudest bartender I've ever met. Dana called last call at 9:45pm on Friday. At 10:20 she walked through the bar and said you have 5 minutes to finish your drinks. She came back at 10:25 and tried to take everyone's glasses. Half our table wasn't finished yet and she became complacent when we would not give her our glasses. She told us we were no longer welcome at this BDubs location. Our server then came back to our table and said they don't close till 11:00 so if you would like to stay and finish your cocktails I would gladly wash your cups.“

“For a Chili's feast I sat, my six-ounce steak laid where I'm at. With broccoli in piles high, I reach for spice, but none I spy!

Salt and pepper, where’d you go? Through booths of red, both high and low, I search for grinders, black and white, These sacred vessels, out of sight!

I pass the greeter’s watchful door, through realms of servers, bar and more, until at last! The quest complete, two grinders found to bless my meat!

The hunt was long, the prize was small (These should be present first of all). The steak was good, once seasoned right, but butter did escape my sight.“

“Dining room was closed for renovation but the drive thru was a tasty substitute. Food and drinks were exceptionally delicious. Whoever was working February 28,2022 around 6:30 pm at the Goshen,Indiana location you guys did an amazing job!! 😋“

“Nobody there...it is often cold,and sometimes doesn't smell that great...but I like the fact that since almost never are they very busy, it is a good place for meeting when you need to have discussion where you can actually hear each other and it's not loud or distracting.“

“Happened to come into Applebees on a Saturday, we were pushed to sit at the bar by other bar guests and to our surprise it worked in our favor! Kayla was very attentive, very friendly, and made the best drinks(and shakes). Will definitely be back if she is working!

However, my one complaint is Bre, a server was very rude. She knew Kayla was talking to us and taking care of us, but would start shouting across the bar that she needed drinks. She would grab her own tickets and slam them down on the bar so Kayla could hear. Kayla would be getting our order and Bre would intervene and we could hear every word. As a guest, it was very rude and unpleasant. Especially since she did it repeatedly while we were there. Again, service with kayla was the ABSOLUTE BEST. It was the other server that ruined our experience“
