50 Best American Restaurants near Fulton

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere.

“One of my top 5 fish memories - Pompano with jerk seasoning, lemon caper sauce. Outstanding!! Sautéed spinach just right, mashed potatoes perfect. 5 stars Rest of family loved their meals.“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! My husband got the short rib with parmesan polenta, and it was fabulous. I got the special burger, which had apple butter and brie on it, and it was incredible! We both started with salads - he got the beet and apple salad, and I got the spinach and pear salad. Both were amazing!“

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“First time here. What an outstanding experience! The food was phenomenal and our waiter/bar tender Herman was the icing in the cake! He is so personable and easy going and a great waiter but he makes the best Long Island Ice Tea we have ever had! We are very picky about that drink, as it is our favorite and a very hard one to get right! Kudos to the establishment and to Herman! We will be back!“

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to catch a particular sports game on a random weeknight. A big thanks to Antonio for his help in making it happen and his good service.“

“Just overall awesomeness!“

“Spectacular recommendation, so glad I stopped in to meet Jay and have his one-of-a-kind Pork, Steak, and Cheese sub. It was absolutely delicious and the customer service was even better! Will definitely be by again next time I’m in the area. Thank you so much“

“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“This was my first time at Busboys and Poets in Columbia. What a great experience! I loved the atmosphere. And there were so many vegan options I didn't know what to order! I ended up getting the crispy cauliflower bites and the vegan "tuna" sandwich. Both were really good! I plan to go back often to try some of the vegan bowls, the pasta and the veggie burger.“

“This is the place I go to when I want perfectly made deli style food. I do not know why but I wake up once a week craving a meatball sub from Orion Sky Cafe. The cold cut sub is very good as well and I am slowly trying the other sandwiches on the menu and have not found one that was not either very fresh or well prepared. The chicken or beef teriyaki with fried rice is a very large portion and perfectly prepared. The specials are all very different and worth a try. The staff are super out going and very friendly. One of my favorite things in the restaurant is the old school food menu displayed over the drink station. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“Always great food, but really enjoyed the entree sized wood grilled tenderloin steak salad tonight. First time ordering their entree salads and will definitely order again. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. My husband also enjoyed the cedar planked salmon. The gf turtle cheesecake was delish and dainty as usual, so no calorie concerns. Yum.“

“We walked into a clean restaurant. Immediatky greeted and sat. Everyone was smiling. The server was very helpful and suggesred great options. Our food came on a robot followed by the manager herself. THE FOOD WAS PERFECT! the bathrooms were clean and we were very impressed!we will back often!“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Went to WNB for the first time this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious my meal was. I ordered a steak burger with fries and a drink. The burger was full of flavor and very tasty. The fries were the best I’ve had in a very long time. I will definitely be grabbing lunch there again in a few weeks when I’m in the area. I definitely recommend visiting for a good burger and fries! They have delicious sweet tea and wings too.“

“Imo Famous Dave's has the best barbecue food! We had the All American Feast with brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and all that comes with it. Service was great (thanks Joe). Always a pleasure eating there. Sorry, forget to take pictures.“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“I’m not super into BBQ, but Iron Flag BBQ has changed everything for me. The brisket was tender, pulled pork was to die. The Mac and cheese surprised me the most, hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve had! Highly recommend!“

“Good food. Excellent service.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Food never disappoints, the service is great, specials they have always are delicious! Great place :)“

“Originality I was ordering food for a sick friend and her kids from a place that she recommended, It was a relatively small order (1 adult, 2 kids). The price they quoted was ridiculous, so I called Arirang Hill Carry Out, and their price was great, the portions were large, and the food was ready fast.
IF I had gotten food from the original place, the order would have been a total of 10 wings, 2 fries, and rice for almost $35. At Arirang, I got MORE THA. DOUBLE the amount wings, 2 fries, and rice for UNDER $30.
The staff is very respectful.“

“I admire this place! They serve sensational dishes, their menu is varied, The chef in that spot is an expert, I like very much tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently tasty, the attitude towards the customers is helpful. I often go to this place and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all.“

“The food was great. However I asked for the brocoli to be removed and subsituted with grilled cegetables. They were like 3 brocoli haads and slivers of red peppers. Definately not worth the price. The rice was enough as was the fish poertion. My companion had a nice piece of steak but they had a very small portion of vegetables also. The cookie was great though. If I go back, it might be for the cookie only.“

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service“

“First time dining there!! Food was great, all fresh, tasted good! Definitely will be back!!!! I got the chicken cheese steak deluxe... was well worth it!!!

Parking: Can be very challenging to find parking, especially during the lunch rush. Have patience, it's well worth it!“

“I discovered Kelsey’s when I was shopping across the street . We been going there ever since . The food and service is amazing. The bartenders are friendly and when you go there a lot they know what you want to drink or eat every time. Brandon is always on point makes great margaritas the best . Kelsey is great too . All the bartenders are friendly and amazing too. The manager is so friendly. I highly recommended Kelsey’s to everyone. Myra Burgess. & Van Gullivan🤠👱🏼‍♀️“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“Server was delightful, efficient and got everything just right. Each in the party had something different and all were happy. I especially like the onion straws appetizer. I think the collards are a bit too spicy. Macaroni & cheese too spicy for kids but was less spicy than the collards. Ribs perfect. Both kinds“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“

“Great vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“Wings and salad! Also love the ribs. We are lucky enough to still have a Fridays in our neighborhood. Wish they had a better manager. Current manager is horrible, disagreeable and misinformed about specials and emails that we receive. He also has an “attitude!” We are often told that an offer does not exist and we have to produce proof from our email account.

Servers are very helpful. Unfortunately, there seems to be a “revolving door” when it comes to staffing. There is no consistency and restaurant is understaffed. quieter section where we like to sit is always closed.

Hopefully business will improve. We do not want this location to close.“

“It was a very chilled experience. I enjoyed trying all the different food and even having the desserts. I would recommend this to anyone in the Virginia area to take some time and visit the area as well as trying the restaurant.“

“Awesome beer, friendly staff, delicious food, owners are very cool and kind. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Amazing Brunch. Thank you Stelios and Giannis for the hospitality. We hope meet in future again. Greetings from Calgary - Canada.“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“I took my dad tonight for Father’s Day and it was very busy. We were told an hour and half wait so we waited. From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“We ordered a couple dry aged butcher board selections and the food was outstanding - one of the two best high-end meals that I have ever enjoyed. The variety of offerings, tastes and sauces spanned a wide range and everyone found several that appealed to their individual palate. We definitely will be back!“

“Mothers Day lunch at Corner Stable in Columbia was excellent The staff and owner are always so friendly and the food was excellent. The Mother’s Day combo consisted of a 6 oz filet which was amazing, shrimp and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. we were a table of 12 and service and meal were excellent highly recommend this location. If you would like a relaxing environment with friendly people and excellent food give them a try“
