48 Best American Restaurants near Fairhaven

“We hosted our baby shower at Travelers Alehouse today and we couldn't have picked a better location/caterer. The manager and owner were amazing with communication leading up to the event. The staff was incredibly thoughtful and helpful when it came to helping us setup the day-of. They never let my cup go empty and constantly checked in on how we were doing. Would easily recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. The food was unbelievably good, no surprise since their restaurant food is always top notch. The options of menus for the event is what truly pulled me in. Thank you so much to every single employee that had a hand in making today amazing for my husband and me. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful experience.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The best owners of a bar in the area. Great service, great food and they treat you like family!!“

“fantastic food and service“

“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.“

“So much I've learned in my first two months at Soares . The instructors are so skilled , and competent . The atmosphere is friendly , it's funny I am saying that . Everyone is so attentive to you .
I couldn't have picked a better place .“

“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!“

“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…“

“I dont go to local clubs/bars . but this is proably the nicest / cleanest bar with live events in the area in my personal opinion. owners are great people who speak to their customers, engage and try their best to make everyone feel welcomed and have a goodnight out. Havent been in a while but from my past experiences, that is the kind treatment I recieved going to this place .“

“Delicious and great priced fish and chips definitely the best 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.“

“Joe’s has for a long time proved itself to be a consistent joy to dine at. The food always arrives prompt, hot, and delicious. Definitely don’t skip out on the house made desserts! Our last few visits, although spaced apart by a couple months, we were lucky enough to be waited on by Valerie. No matter how much time passes, she remembers our faces and always makes us feel right at home! Valerie is an exemplary server, who never misses a beat during service and provides the perfect touch of humor, personality, and charm to enhance our experience. Everything about Joe’s is top notch, but the service provided by Valerie truly makes us feel like family every time.“

“Great local spot for a fast, reliable breakfast!

I ordered the Two Egg Breakfast with sausage and white toast, adding 4 extra eggs for an additional $1.25 each. All six eggs were cooked sunny side up perfectly. The iced coffee was adequate, but the service was the standout—the staff was incredibly kind and the food came out very quickly.

Important Note: This place is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM on-site, but it has a $2.75 fee, so plan accordingly!“

“Went out to eat with my husband on a Saturday night Heidi the Bartender was amazing with her great customer service!! She was great and made sure we were taken care of!!“

“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.“

“Went with a friend to their new location and we both got the fish tacos and the hand-cut fries! We both loved it, still thinking about those fish tacos! 🤤 We like malt vinegar on our fries, and while they didn't have any at the moment, they said they'd be picking some up for our next visit! That's some great service! Look forward to going back! Glad you've found a new location!“

“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.“

“Best gluten free pancakes in the area 🔥“

“Just wanted to say that this place was great. I had recently read that they had an amazing clamboil, so I called a friend up who I know, knows most of the area and asked about it, she told me that they had great food. Well off we went for an early dinner. An OMG they were not lying when they said they had a great clamboil there kale soup was also amazing Lobster Roll on point . The staff was polite and friendly. well let's just say I will definitely be back and the deserve a 10 star review. thank you for a great experience and an amazing hospitality......Job well done“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been ordering (mostly breakfast) from this restaurant for a couple of months now. It’s honestly such a hidden gem!!! I keep telling people about it because I’ve been that impressed. Everything is always cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, homemade and great portions. I can’t wait to try more!“

“This evening we went to cask and pig for the first time ever as a belated birthday/valentine dinner we had a brand new server Marina and she was amazing to the point we thought she was training our waiter when she told us I’m training this evening she was amazing and I believe is truly an asset to this establishment! I can’t wait to return and have her as a staff member in the future ❤️ we truly enjoyed our time this evening“

“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..“

“Our Server Michael was very pleasant and attentive to our needs and wants at the table. I would highly recommend him as a waiter and look forward to going back to Applebee's to have him serve us as a waiter. FOr someone who's only been waiting tables at Applebee's, for three weeks, we were extremely impressed with his mannerism and his professionalism, hopefully in the future a management position. Will be offered ito him.

“very professional worker's great food awesome drinks“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😂“

“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 ✌🏾😌“

“Great night at KH. We had a large party and they were able to accommodate us at the last minute. Great menu with Portuguese influence. Our server Taylor was outstanding and manager Jeff made sure we were comfortable! Great job!“

“Amazing atmosphere and great food!!!“

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

“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.“

“aww, they've honestly been real nice to me both times I've been here. the food is pretty normal/basic breakfast food, but it's good! it wasn't packed either time I went, but I'd say more people this time around. the servers managed the tables well, and my server in particular was very kind. The food was hot & tastes as it should. Thank you!!“

“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 👍“

“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.“
