50 Best American Restaurants near Ada

“We went to the Mudpenny in Ada for dinner. It was probably the worst food ever presented. The trout was overcooked almost to a dried consistency, the grain had wimpy mushrooms and no taste, completely left off the tomatoes, the drink was very small and over priced. We feel robbed!!!! The bill was split and it came to just under $50.oo for each person!! What a joke!! I want my money back!!“

“I have been a loyal and happy customer for 15 plus years, hear that, more than fifteen years! And to learn that these B’s have been holding out on me. The absolute nerve! They have been holding out on the carrot cake… keeping it hidden somewhere… away from me! It’s !&$/“?> garbage. I am warning ya’ll right now DO NOT get the carrot cake, you might die of happiness. Heaven on earth right there it is. Here I thought that pie company or the round cake place had the best. No. Just fricken no. This gooey glorious deliciousness. I’m telling ya. You know the worst part!?! They could totally have itty bitty toothpick sample bites and let us know! But NO. It’s like some top secret sauce for their keeping. Ridiculous! I will have you know that my Birthday is coming up and you BETTER save me a piece. The nerve!!! FIFTEEN years! I feel like someone owes me an apology! 5 stars I would share a picture but I ate it all. And than licked the carry out box. Don’t you dare judge me!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Especially with the Newest Owner! with warm regards💫“

“Great service and great food!“

“I have been wanting to try Papa Chops since it opened and today I was finally able to. It was a great feeling to walk in and know that I could eat anything on the menu. I chose a wrap and fries. Both were amazing! One of the best wraps I have ever have. I will definitely be back! Thank you!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“This is a great burger place! Try the Elvis burger, it was so good! Fries were great, staff was super friendly. Loved all the Bigfoot decor. Will definitely go again. You can tell they make their patties from scratch with a good blend of brisket, bacon, and beef. Try this local gem! They even have Doge patties for your pup!“

“My girlfriends and I met at Blue Water for dinner tonight. Our waiter named Will made our dinner so enjoyable and fun. Our dinner came out so fast and the food was delicious. We split a dessert that we all didn’t care for. The General Manager Sheena came over immediately and offered us to try something different. She brought us a new dessert. She was so sweet and personable.“

“Server Julian was excellent. Food was ok. Place not very clean
Silverware worn & dirty.
Had the Chicken & Shrimp dish, chix was great, shrimp rubbery and too few, three mushrooms in the mushroom onion saute? Blondi dessert rubbery & not edible, although I enjoyed ice cream & sauce. Julian discounted dessert without being requested. I understood Applebee:s food is MSG free, something server did not know. And, the selection of wines included Cupcake & Barefoot brands, both of which have MSG!
And, the survey request for $20 off next $40 visit brings you to a site that requires CC info for free trial that starts charging within 5 days. READ THE FINE PRINT. Unfortunately my last visit to an Applebees.“

“I came in on a busy Friday afternoon and a nice young lady "Hannah" waited on me and I got excellent service. I never give reviews normally but had to this time cause of such great service!“

“Wow! My wife and I celebrated our 16 year wedding anniversary here tonight. The food, absolutely amazing! Drinks, amazing! But what I really want to rave about is how wonderful their service and hospitality was. We had a lovely hand written note at our table wishing us a happy anniversary. Multiple people told us happy anniversary. Our server, Ericka, she was real genuine and nice and at the end of our dinner she brought us a vase of flowers. This was hands down the best dining experience we have had. Thanks for making this an enjoyable and rememberable night for us.“

“Great food and service 👌“

“Shaun the bartender, server, host busses, was Amazing! Kept our glasses full, made sure we had everything and everything was satisfactory. The Mr Fable burger took me back in time, was amazing. Cheese curds cooked to perfection. It's a hidden spot you need to visit. (it's in the Double Tree Hotel)“

“We are a Greek family and love the Greek dishes that Leo's Coney Island offers. We have dined there frequently, often bring friends. The food is always good and the service fantastic. That being said; however, we have decided not to dine there any longer during the cold months, as the owner chooses to keep the dining room quite frigid. We heat our home at 68 degrees and are comfortable at that temp. We have tried mutliptle visits to Leo's Coney Island this winter...and each time the dining room has always been uncomfortablly chilly. When we pay to go out to eat, dining with our winter coats on and still being cold is not a relaxing or enjoyable dining experience. We gave it another try last night visiting around 5:30pm (hoping the furnace was turned up). The dining area was extremely C-O-L-D! This could be why there were not many customers there? We asked the waitress if the heat could be turned up, and she replied, "No, the only person allowed to adjust the temperature is the owner, and he is not here". NOTE to Owner: Saving money by turning down the heat in the cold of winter does not provide a pleasant dining experience for your customers and certainly cannot be good for your business! So...we'll see you in the summer?.... ~ Chuck and Denise Antonopulos“

“My daughter and I went to Cork Wine & Grille for an afternoon birthday lunch! The food was delicious. We had shrimp tacos, recommended by our server, Haley and for dessert a peanut butter pie. Great service and excellent food, we will definitely be back!“

“I had a great experience at Olives tonight. Everyone from the hostess (Elise) to our waitress (Emily) exemplified great customer service. A couple of my favorites were the brussel sprouts and the lychee drink. We will be back!“

“Our reservation requested a table by the fireplace if possible. We received the table by the fireplace. It was a good meal made all the more enjoyable by the fire.“

“My wife and I went there for a steak dinner, the service was great! Charley, our server was very attentive and our steaks on the fire rock were delicious! This wasn’t our first time there and this will not be our last. We look forward to warmer temperatures when we will be able to sit outside! Highly recommend“

“WE have enjoyed numerous meals at Timbers and have been totally satisfied with the variety available and the presentation of them...The menu offers many options all of which cater those who wish to experience a different meal each visit...Plan on many more there....“

“Shout out to Eric. He was the bartender (supervisor too?) here. Super personable guy. Made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable while waiting on my delayed flight. Great sense of humor. Really great having him.

The food was delicious. I had a chili-crisp hummus and a chicken bacon flatbread. The former was a combination that I didn't expect, but it was great. and a chicken bacon flatbread.

The drinks were good too. Nice and chill. The customer service by Eric was superb.“

“1st time coming here and it was wonderful! Service was spectacular thanks to my wonderful server Tomas! Food was good too. I always like to go with a standard when I go somewhere new and they didn't disappoint! I got the chicken tenders and loaded tots. And im telling you, that breading/seasoning on the chicken was delicious. Even the sauces were superb. My only complaint was I had nothing to take home because I smashed all of it. Bonus note, if there's a game on that you want to watch, just ask! There's enough tvs in here for everyone.“

“Kristy/Christy the bar tender was awesome. Knowledgeable and great service. My first time ever at Bagger Dave’s:) Food was delicious!“

“I love going to the nighthawk! Great food with lots of choices, and their specials always offer something nice. The price is right, and I have always been happy with the service. I don't go out to eat much anymore as I feel that I don't always get a good value, but it's totally worth it here. The restaurant itself is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, (and their catering is top notch too)!“

“Everything is good at Charlie’s“

“Awesome place with great food!!“

“Amazing food, great service and atmosphere!!“

“Everything about this place is exactly what you would expect at an Applebee's. There's really not much to say about the differentness of any other Applebee's that i've been to, which is great. because consistency is key for chain restaurants. It is my first time getting an alcoholic drink at a restaurant, so that was a fun experience. The lady who served me was very polite and had good recommendations.“

“Had a delightful time at the Alto Bar. Drinks were delicious. Excellent tasting Manhattan. Steak was just great and my wife's hamburger we also very tasty. Well worth the visit. Will return.“

“I just ordered take out!! It's always so good!! Happy Valentines Day!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Sundance Grill and Bar did not disappoint. Rayne was awesome, the Arizona egg rolls were dangerously good, and the Fresh Mex bowl hit the spot. Happy hour prices made us smile, but the avocado ranch made us fall in love. Would absolutely come back—mostly for the ranch. 😄🥑“

“My husband took us out for lunch family 7 ❤️“

“Great food and wait staff. The hostess needs some major training. She does greet you or make you feel welcome. No personality and not one smile.“

“The Kiwanis Club of Grand Rapids meets here every week, and it’s easy to see why. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff always makes us feel right at home. A very special shout-out goes to Nikki and Ainsley, who brighten every meeting with their outstanding service. They’re attentive, friendly, and incredibly organized—always making sure our group is well taken care of, even on the busiest days. Their positive attitude sets the tone for our entire gathering. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food with exceptional hospitality, this is it. Highly recommended!“

“Healthy good food! 5stars!!!!“

“My favorite place in all of Grand Rapids. A must visit every time we are in the area. Love all of their ciders, and the customizable flights. Their addition of the bites pairing with the flights was a great idea and really made the experience that much more enjoyable. AND they were hosting a dog adoption event at the time of our visit so they support local causes.“

“Everything was excellent ...the food, the service. My first time at Longhorn. I got the outlaw...it was cooked to perfection. Best restaurant steak I've ever had anywhere. Thank you Longhorn.

Also, it was my birthday, so the gave me a free desert. Very nice“
