48 Best American Restaurants near Fairhaven

“This place is awesome! Our waitress Megan was attentive and pleasant our food was great! Started with their chicken tenders so good! We both got the French dip. Delicious! My husband says his only suggestion is to put it on a torpedo roll instead of sourdough bread. Will definitely be going back!“

“Stopped here with some friends on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised not to have a wait even though the restaurant was pretty busy. It’s in a nice little strip mall like building with other establishments around it as well.

The restaurant itself is your standard breakfast restaurant. Nothing impressive but serviceable. The waitstaff were friendly and the prices were incredibly reasonable. Breakfast for 4 people only cost $62. Can’t beat those prices!

I ended up ordering a hot tea and the hash Benedict. The hollandaise was good and the eggs were poached well. My only complaint was that the hash was clearly canned (which makes sense with the prices being so low) and the bun they make the Benedict on was pretty thick. My friends did enjoy their food as well. Definitely would go back and try some other things on the menu!“

“the best comedy show Dirty Dirty hosted by The Comedy Barbarian . The last Monday of every month“

“Some of the best breakfast food in southern New England. This was one of my dad’s go to places to get linguica cheese rolls or a well made omelette with prices that don’t break the bank and very good service in the process. This place has meant a lot to me and my family over the years and the fact that we have absolutely no problem waking up early traveling from Cape Cod to go here speaks volumes which is why it’s always a treat when we do go.“

“Awesome place friendly staff great service 🤘🤘🤘“

“Is there an email for the Fairhaven 99 I could reach out to? I just had a business question.“

“What started as a trial turned into a love for martial arts. Emily has grown so much since starting with Soares Martial Arts. She has adapted the martial arts black belt in training mentality towards everything she does now. I absolutely love the way the staff is always welcoming, encouraging and dedicated.“

“Yesterday my mom, son and I went to eat at the sail loft. The food and service was absolutely amazing. I had ordered a to go dinner for my husband and when I got it home to him, his chicken seemed raw. I called them just to let them know what had happened. They offered to replace the meal and deliver it to us! They were so accommodating and even gave us a gift card to come back. AMAZING service that you don’t always get these days. Thank you Sail Loft - we will be back very soon!“

“I would highly recommend Little Moss. Creative menu. Very comfortable dining experience. Terrific service. Food was delicious. Soft shell crab and Foaccia bread and ricotta for apps were a great way to start off the night. It only got better from there.“

“Best waitress I’ve ever had. I go every Friday morning.“

“This is officially our new favorite brunch spot! Food and service are truly amazing! Scott was our server this past weekend, and he made us feel like we’d been coming here for years. We got the zucchini fritter Benedict, a Belgium waffle with fresh berries and a breakfast burrito with sausage, home fries and fresh pico de gallo. The menu had a nice selection of Benedicts - We can’t wait to go back and try them all! The zucchini fritter and crispy prosciutto complimented each other perfectly, and inspired us to crisp up our own prosciutto. What a creative twist on an old classic! The waffle had the perfect amount of sweetness and the variety of fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) was a nice addition that gave it a little tartness. They added roasted red peppers to the breakfast burrito which really made it stand out, and we loved the fresh pico! The restaurant also has a full bar and lots of specialty brunch drinks. There is high-top seating at the bar area, as well as tables throughout the restaurant. We did not have to wait this past Sunday when we arrived at noon, but we were told it does get busy on the weekends, so there could be wait times. Prices were reasonable, which is rare nowadays, and the portions were generous. The quality and creativity of the dishes absolutely blew us away. This place is truly special! Open until 2pm on Sundays, definitely check them out! Cheers and enjoy!“

“Great food, service by Evan was awesome.“

“PLEEEAAASE bring back your Stuffed Quahog! I tell anyone who will listen to me that yours are the best around..nice creativity on the “Quahog bites” but candidly they aren’t even close. Great meal and atmosphere as always but not the same without your signature appetizer- at least in my book…“

“Dillon's is the triple threat restaurant 🍴 1. Great Food 2. Great Service 3. Great Value For my dollar, there's no better spot in the city!!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this local establishment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I had a great time playing pool. The service was exceptional, demonstrating both attentiveness and genuine hospitality. The highlight for me was the homemade quahogs, which were absolutely delicious and easily my favorite. Food offered were specials, sandwiches and pizza. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a low key evening and a few great cocktails. They do offer excellent service and it is a unique local experience.“

“We have not been to Joe's for a while because we have been going to some additional restaurants in the new Bedford area. However, we returning to Joe's, we were greatly pleased. The food, drinks and dessert wete top shelf. Our appetizer included tuna wonton on cucumbers, the tomato basil soup, and the pork dumplings, which were very good. The tomato basil soup was especially rich and creamy. We followed that with a dinner, choice of chicken, piccata, and Joe's meatloaf. Both were extremely tasty and satisfying. We completed the dinner with the strawberry shortcake. Needless to say not all this food was consumed at that time. We were able to take half of everything home, except for the strawberry shortcake :-). Highly recommend Joe's for a wonderful culinary experience. “

“We go every weekend, usually Sunday afternoon just to hang out with Caitlyn the bartender. She is the BEST & always on point!! She goes above & beyond for all her customers & is always cheerful & pleasant!! We give her a big 10😀“

“Fantastic service!! They really catered to my disabled mom and her needs. One of the owners greeted us immediately and was very friendly and took care of us the whole time. This was our first time here, even though we live not far from it, but we will definitely recommend this place!! We will most definitely be back. Thanks for such great food and service.“

“Absolutely love coming here for a drink or their delicious pizzas and specials! Thank you Sous Chef Matt & Server Lisa for great experience!!!“

“Went to The Mill this morning with my wife, sister and brother-in-law and had a wonderful meal. The only downfall why a meal was this customer that was rude and outrageous. We heard the whole conversation and there was no making this Kayla Coconut weirdo, happy. The waitress was very professional empathetic due to peppers being missing from her meal. She apologized for a new waitress, still learning how to do her craft. The customer twisted the words and made Christine out to be this villain. I can tell you I was appalled, and it’s sad that people like that just can walk around freely society.“

“We had our office Christmas dinner/celebration last evening. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the server was very pleasant and patient as we were a larger group. I highly recommend the Atlantic Bistro.“

“I visit Friendly's about once a month, my client enjoys the free sundae that comes with his meal , my waitress Carole always remembers his order and he loves the tomato basil soup.“

“We had a great Sunday brunch at Walrus & Captain! They were so kind to open and outdoor table early for us so we could enjoy brunch with our dogs even on this chilly day. Food and service were fabulous 👌 👏 Thank you!“

“The food is so delicious. The best I've had in a long time!! Great atmosphere, awesome staff. Will definitely be back“

“Best gluten free pancakes in the area 🔥“

“I loved the food, but if you say your dog friendly then actually be considerate if a dog barks once or twice. I was told I would have to leave if my dog barks again (only barked once because he got excited about food and being in a new place). Just my opinion, but if you list yourself as a dog friendly place then you should expect not all dogs are just going to sit still and not bark or move around a bit. Dogs aren’t made to just sit still. I would love to come back as long as they don’t complain about me bringing my dog.“

“After driving by countless times, and always seeing the parking lot full, we finally were able to stop in ourselves…and now we know why the lot was always full. The food was delish, the service was excellent! Kacey and Bea were the bartenders and our servers as we sat at the bar. I had the fancy burger, would highly recommend!“

“Oh my goodness, we had the BEST experience at this restaurant. The restaurant has a comfortable, family like feel. You can tell most of the people are regulars. The food was excellent seafood, fresh and well prepared. Each dish our large group got was thoroughly enjoyed. But, the BEST part of the experience was our waitress, Joyelle. She was the only waitress in the room, which she took control of with ease, and she was so funny. My dad's a jokester, and she gave it right back. We had a lot of fun and we laughed and laughed. She took great care of us. So, couple divine food with an amazing personality taking care of us - you get perfection.“

“Pretty awesome little stop. Got two fish and chips. The gentleman working there was pleasant and funny, like that quirky uncle you only see once a year at Thanksgiving.
Fish was cooked perfect, xtra thick filet, i didnt ask but i think it was cod, generous portion of fries.
Will be back to try out more of the menu and shakes.

Parking: Huge parking area next to outdoor seating“

“Great Portuguese food wonderful ambiance cozy and comfy..“

“very professional worker's great food awesome drinks“

“My wife and I and my 2 cousins stopped at Applebees in North Dartmouth for dinner. We opted for the 2 for $25 meals. A nice appetizer and very nice entrees. Our Server, Miss MacKenzie, was terrific. She was constantly at the table making sure everything was OK! The one minor problem that we had, was taken care of by Miss Mackenzie quicker than a cricket with the hiccups. Everything that we ordered was just great from beginning to end. We even made room for dessert, which was like a meal in itself. Miss Mackenzie, I hope your boss realizes what a great Server you are. We will be back! Thank you. Walter Norcross Sr.“

“This is a great place to grab a drink and listen to live music. Not a place I would grab food again. I’ve given it a couple of tries and the food both times has taken a long time to come out. First time we had a large group (place was empty) but we decided to give it another try recently. We didn’t have elaborate meals - 3 meals for takeout. Salad, chicken and chips, and grilled tenders and cucumber salad. My allergy free salad had a crouton in it the first time I ate there and the chicken has dark black grill marks. The second time I ordered it with the house dressing and beef tips - it was told to me it was gluten and dairy free. Once I got the salad home, I realized they had packed blue cheese instead. The beef tips on it were terrible as well. The manager/owner comes out to discuss allergens but it doesn’t appear that anyone checks the orders like at other restaurants I have been to. I’m aware it’s always a risk going out but that shows they didn’t put attention to my gluten allergy free order either time. The cucumber salad was soggy and disgusting, not prepared that day. It’s an awesome place to check out for a drink and music but the food (at least options we selected) were not great regardless of the allergy vs non allergy items. Definitely check out for a drink and the music, great atmosphere for that.“

“nice inside they did a great job but not my crowd of people but I will support and recommend to anyone who likes sports bars.“

“My husband and I visited the restaurant for the first time last night, selecting two different steak plates each. The cuisine was exceptional, with fresh, high-quality ingredients used throughout. The steak was cooked to perfection, the round cut fries were outstanding, and the rice was soft and freshly cooked. We were impressed by the culinary experience. The staff's attentive, friendly service contributed to our positive experience. We intend to dine there again. Our gratitude to Chef Cabral and staff for their warm hospitality. The experience evoked memories of Portugal.“

“Great food and very friendly environment ✌🏾😌“

“Excellent service, incredible food, and unique drinks. I don't visit often, but this is my choice for a great experience every time. The staff is friendly, casual, and on the ball when it comes to the customer. Phil is one of the best bartenders I've had the pleasure to meet. And I've been to a lot places in the world over the decades.“

“Delicious food, great selection of beer, TV's everywhere for watching your favorite sports teams, great music and atmosphere“

“Huge shoutout to the amazing crew at Knuckle Heads Bar & Grill! Sarah was mazing this weekend as crazy busy as it was she kept the drinks flowing and Kathi for helping out… Sal for making sure things ran smoothly!! And of course Jeff for making sure the kitchen runs smoothly!!! Thank you to an AMAZING staff as well.. food is amazing along with the environment. See you all soon.“

“Always enjoy my selections, have tried many different dishes,lastly being your tuna melt( enjoyed) and was enough for two meals.Hubby is picky eater(always orders your clam chowder) along with some type of seafood.Thanks 👍“

“Great pizza 🍕!! Prime rib is a good portion! Hot meatball grinder or ziti with meatballs is also a favorite. Excellent fish and chips-freshest fish ever! Great atmosphere and reasonably priced. Oh, they have a salad 🥗 with grilled chicken, dried cranberries, cheese 🧀, cukes, onions and they have a raspberry vinaigrette that is sooooo good!! I make my own but this I could drink by the glass!! Lol 😂“

“Tried Back Door Burgers for the 1st time. Sounds like it's no longer a back or side door. Pickup is in Merrills and with the hostess. Went with the Brooklawn burger. Added a second patty and bacon. Couldn't taste the bacon jam, wondering if it was light or missed. Added some burger sauce at home and it helped. The onion rings were good. Meal was very pricey after the upcharges.“

“Amazing atmosphere and great food!!!“

“Love eating at the location in Dartmouth, MA for the service and quality food. We had Nicole R. For a waitress who is always professional and friendly. She goes above and beyond to assist with your order. Today, I had the Breakfast Sampler and my daughter had the Chicken Biscuit Plate. Cooked to perfection and tastes great. I highly recommend this place for the a great breakfast and more.“

“The food is excellent but the manager who thinks it raises morale by screeching “Woo” at the top of her lungs every few minutes is ridiculous and unprofessional and not to mention disrupting what would be a pleasant dining experience. What is she thinking?“

“I work late and sometimes I don’t feel like cooking, so I stop in CFC. The mashed potato, Mac and Cheese, and fried chicken is always a hit in my house“

“The epitome of Family Owned Restaurant ❤️ We come from West Springfield to enjoy the delicious breakfast and wonderful staff. This past Mother's Day we showed up at 8 am without a reservation (I never even thought of it) We were so nervous we wouldn't get a spot but the wonderful staff said no problem and we were seated within minutes. Our food was excellent and the waitress was beyond helpful. I always order extra water for my personal cup (obviously Mom has the best cup of water) and fill it then get more water to drink at the table. Thank you for starting off our Mother's Day with full bellies.“
