50 Best American Restaurants near Swansea

“We come here at least once a week, sometimes more. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and the value is unbeatable. Our children hate going to restaurants and this is the one exception. I don’t understand the negative reviews, I’ve been here over 100 times and never had a bad experience.“

“Ordered 5 doz . Party pastry for Christmas . Wonderful assortment. Absolutely delicious!! Favorite was the blueberry and raspberry strudel. Now my go to place whenever I have a get together!“

“Well seeing I haven’t been to Friendly’s in some time. And I’ve come to get a quick bite to eat to find I have a server in training “ Stephanie” who was nervous but pleasant with a inviting g smile that set my atmosphere of being a guest with my company. She assure she got the order correctly to our liking to our order and was pleasant to please and accommodate our needs. If unfamiliar with a menu she quickly excuse herself to inquire with her shift boss. Who was just as pleasant and knowledgeable to what Eva ? that may have riser. Needles to say to find I had points and a member to top it off I got a sundae of one scoop to find 2 scoops and the cost would be 2$ and 5$ off the bill to our surprise. That’s “ Friendly “ is a place I rather be to have such server as Stephanie!!! As I told her she a trainee that has pass the test of time !…“

“I tried the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw on it today at the Attleboro Farmers Market. I don't know what is in their BBQ sauce, but I would buy it by the bottle if I could! The pork was nice, juicy, and flavorful and the cole slaw was crispy and fresh. I will have to search them out again if they won't be at the AFM!“

“Last night, we walked towards The Aviary's entrance surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of hydrangeas. Magical. The restaurant itself did not disappoint as it too was absolutely lovely. The wait staff was superb. Nice and efficient and they got every order perfectly. We were delighted. However, the food left a bad taste for sure. We were served room temperature brussel sprouts that were not cooked! Calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Pasta dish was floating in oil!! Total disappointment. Sadly, this beautiful restaurant has not earned our repeat business.“

“Was working on a roof repair next door and stopped by with my crew for some food. The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was cozy. Great spot for a satisfying meal.“

“Funky old dive bar turned into a pierogi palace. Saw it on dinners, drive ins and dives. Wide selection of perogies. Skip the potato and cheese (meh) and go with the more creative ones. Their homemade Kielbasa is great. If you get more than one kind make sure they mark what it is at least on take out.“

“Just came from Palmer River Grille, it's very nice inside and the food was excellent. My wife had a small issue with her meal (no need for details), the managers took care of it no problem, which they don't have to do, so I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Our waiter Derek was awesome! Just want to acknowledge everyone there, the wait staff etc. are very friendly, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and their food. I would recommend them to anyone and for sure we will be back. Thank you!“

“they have the best hotdogs. they remind me Tex Berry's in taunton on the green. had them almost everyday as a kid.“

“TRAFFORDS TESTIMONIAL Perhaps once in a lifetime you find someplace really special for you and your spouse. Seven years ago we went to Trafford’s for the first time. What we remember about it was how it made us feel. Both of us work hard in our professions and to go out to dinner and find wonderful food, excellent and attentive wait staff, and relaxed environment simply made our day. We then came every month at least once mostly twice to enjoy the excellence and serenity at Trafford. Sadly we lost this when the fire occurred for several years. Then absolute joy when Trafford’s reopened and we found the same wonderful food, wonderful staff in a simply beautiful rebuilt building. The joy we felt and the absolute calm and serenity is all back for us. Recently we celebrated my 76th birthday at Trafford with my entire family. It was amazingly special for me and we had our special event upstairs with the entire place devoted to us . Chrissy our server did an awe inspiring service for us making it perhaps one of the most special birthdays I have ever had I have attached a picture of this special moment. I work in the computer software business doing quality assurance 10 hours every day. Being able to calm down and relax completely at Trafford’s is simply a joy for us. I will always be thankful for this the rest of my life Ugh Sincerely Nicholas McKinney“

“love the food and drinks they were AMAZING ❤️❤️💯“

“We are sorry it took us so long to discover The Square Peg. Cozy, old colonial vibe, delicious fall sangria and scrumptious comfort food. Our first visit was a perfect complement to our day visiting farm stands and enjoying a beautiful October Saturday. A bonus is that the location could rival Salem in October minus the crowds. Just perfect. We loved the chili with sour cream, cheese and onions on top, the patty melt and the ahi tuna tacos. All were delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting many times.“

“Very pleasantly surprised! Great menu and service. We ate at the bar. The atmosphere is nice and low key. We can't wait to go back.“

“3rd year in a row, Vinos nailed it! They made and delivered a phenomenal spread for my parents Christmas dinner. SO MUCH FOOD!!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️everything was absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much guys!!“

“We had an absolutely perfect wedding at this venue! From booking to the day of the wedding everyone was extremely nice, helpful and professional making planning the wedding go smooth and enjoyable! We worked with Sydney as the wedding producer and she was on top of every detail all the way through and made everything perfect! Matt was our event manager and made everything perfect the day of as well! Sierra was a perfect bridal attendant too! The venue was everything we dreamed of and all our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. Over all everyone went above and beyond to help us out through the entire process and we are beyond happy we booked this venue! We would recommend it to anyone looking to plan their wedding! Thank you guys for the perfect day 😊“

“Great food and staff! I highly recommend The Ledge.“

“The Lobster Benny on the brunch menu was really delicious! The rich, creamy, and slightly acidic flavor of the hollandaise sauce combined perfectly with the savory and sweet flavors of the lobster.

The steak and eggs were also excellent. The garlic pan gravy took the dish to the next level.

Our table wasn’t ready until a little over ten minutes after our reservation time, so we hung out at the four-seat bar next to the host station for a bit.“

“I go maybe twice a month Love their coconut shrimp it’s absolutely so worth the trip no matter where you live Friday I brought a group of friends and all the dinners were fabulous. Waitress so kind and accommodating with some questions my friends needed to know So eat and be merry if your a couple or a. Big family. You won’t regret going Love being treated with such kindness ❤️“

“They make the best chow mein sandwich since China Royal.“

“Chardonnay's Restaurant is a dining experience that effortlessly combines elegance with comfort. From the moment you arrive, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an exceptional meal. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a delightful mix of classic and contemporary dishes that cater to a variety of palates. Their appetizers, like the crispy calamari and artisan flatbreads, are the perfect start to any meal. Entrees are equally impressive, with highlights including perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and inventive pasta dishes. Each plate is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The wine list is extensive and well-paired to the menu, making it a haven for wine enthusiasts. The knowledgeable staff is always happy to recommend the perfect pairing, adding a personal touch to your experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or just treating yourself to a night out, Chardonnay's Restaurant delivers on all fronts. It’s a true gem in Seekonk, and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, excellent service, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Highly recommended!“

“Food is excellent. Portion sizes are healthy. For example the veal parmesan with linguini feeds both me and my husband. I haven't tried anything as of yet that I didn't like. Everything is cooked fresh“

“I have been to Hamilton's too many times to count! Both for breakfast and lunch, and can honestly say I have never been disappointed. Owners and staff are very cordial and go out of their way to please.“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“Awesome place great staff wonderful customers“

“Excellent turkey club sandwich and fries. Didn't know how I was going to eat as it was packed with good plenty of turkey, bacon, cheese , tomato and lettuce. Also gluten free bread. Ladies room very clean. Friendly staff that all work nice together. Definitely will be coming back“

“from the service, to the food and amazing fun decor, it is a perfect spot. so fun and friendly! very surprising find!“

“Our server, Brooke was fabulous, attentive, helpful and smiling. The place itself was inviting with indoor or outdoor seating available. The tables indoors were low or high top and there was a bar. The wallpaper was lovely and the old wood was beautiful. The beer was iced cold and the sugar rim was delightful. The martini needed a bit of help but after some collaboration it was great.
We had apps with our drinks, the first being chicken fingers. They were inconsistently cooked with some portions being juicy and other parts dry. A skimpy portion of celery and carrots were served with them. The second appetizer was buffalo chicken rangoons. The rangoons were only partially filled and they had absolutely no heat in them. Although they were perfectly cooked, the lack of flavor and skimpy filling left us not being a fan.“

“I don't usually give reviews but the food and service were so good I have no choice after to many disappointing meals dining out lately. I have to say the 2 meals we ordered were absolutely delicious full of flavor and texture every bite was better then the last definitely fresh and chef inspired taste. (Harvest tortellini and risotto brisket )We 💯 will be returning to Barrett's waterfront in the hopes that the chef is consistent and creative because his dishes were amazing! Barrett's keep the chef ( Julian, I believe ) under your belt he is definitely an asset ! and our waiter Isaiah was great! another asset to your establishment :)“

“Food was delicious love the music 🎶“

“I went to the Granite Grille today with my friend and my grandma. My son is in the Culinary Arts program, and we wanted to experience the restaurant, and it was excellent! The students who waited on us did a great job. My watermelon lemonade was delicous, and I forgot to grab a picture of the burger for the review because it looked so good that I got right on into eating it! The waiters did good checking in with us, and answering questions we had. The students and staff are doing an amazing job. It was an all-around great experience, and we will definitely be going back soon.“

“I have never been, but I intend to. They have a new contact number and I somehow came into circulation of their old one in which I get numerous calls a day about so I'm thinking it's worth the try. But they did manage to post a new number on their Facebook account please refer directly to the page because the Google search results are still showing the old number.“

“Thanks for preparing a fantastic New Years take out dinner. The shrimp Mozambique was outstanding. See you soon.“

“Server was very kind. But service in general was terribly slow. Over an hour wait to get our food. Food was fine, standard breakfast fare.“

“The food was excellent and the service was great. Some of the other customers were very nice and respectful. Will definitely be going back. Excellent job“

“Just got 2 baked haddock take-out dinners for my husband and me and we were both blown away. Also got a spicy stuffed quahog and it was perfect. All the food was hot and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“Stephanie was an exceptional bartender—easily one of the best servers we've ever had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made a huge difference for us. Her attention to detail was impressive, from promptly changing out silverware between courses to keeping our drinks filled without us ever needing to ask. The food was outstanding! The carpaccio was the best we’ve had, and the gluten-free s’mores dessert was absolutely delicious—a perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere had a great vibe with stunning views, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Delicious fish and chips! I went yesterday the kid taking my order was super friendly! The fish and chips are so delicious definitely coming back thank you“

“Delicious food, great service and I highly recommend.“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“Place was super good. Wasn't expecting much when we pulled up but what a great place. Food was fantastic. We ordered a side of Cacoula recomended by another customer. So glad we did, fantastic!! Pancakes were great and our waitress was all over it. Great start to our day!“

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“We ordered two Portuguese steak meals to go last night- seriously delicious. Still hot when I got home to Somerset, gravy was amazing and the steak was incredibly tender.“

“Really good Lobster Bisque soap purchased from a local supermarket here in NE PA. Backstory. I attended Endicott College back in the day and remembered sitting on rocks in Rockport with bunch of friends, enjoying the fresh, local seafood. 🍤 I recently noticed this brand while shopping and although pricey, I decided to try it for lunch today. The boil bag was easy peasy, enough for two bowls and like I mentioned to poster below, I purchased some RANA lobster ravioli that were void of any indication of lobster, although it was listed as second ingredient on packaging. I combined the two. What a delight with great flavor, thick broth and satisfying product. It’s what I purchased when your New England establishment is a distance away. It’s next best thing! 😋🦞“

“We got the meat lovers pizza. Absolutely amazing!!! I am very picky about pizza I have a bad stomach and I asked for light sauce . Most places still put too much. This place actually did it. Maria was out waitress very friendly and attentive. I recommend this place hands down“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“We went to the Newport location. Everything was quality & delicious. The frozen key lime drink was so refreshing. The vibes were great. The bartender was very friendly and anticipated our needs. Definitely a favorite new spot!!“

“The food and atmosphere here is amazing! Almost outshining the views. The staff is top notch and always works with the customer in mind.“

“Great food, portions, prices and service.“

“The staff is top notch which unfortunately is becoming rare these days in restaurants. The food was delicious, oysters were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. 5 Stars from South Georgia!“

“Great breakfast great lunch homemade muffins seafood. Great coffee“
