49 Best American Restaurants near Brandon

“So...6 days ago my family lost everything in a house fire with no renters insurance, litterally everything including my car burned down. After the fire claimed everything but our lives, looters/criminals stole everything that was left. It's just been a horrible week for my family but really thankful to be alive. Tonight (Sunday 8.10.25) we arrived 45 mins before closing time, which we normally don't do due to both being servers majority of our careers, we just dont come during closing time usually but we had a babysitter for an hour and we just wanted to eat out peacefully. Jeb/Jebidiah was absolutely amazing. He never once made us feel rushed and answered our many questions. (seriously, I'm picky when it comes to ranch and A1 and Jeb was on it, very politely) and I cannot thank him enough for his positive attitude, attentiveness, and overall great personality. I hope he is abundantly blessed and that their other servers are as amazing as he was. We will 100% be back. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was calm. Like really, Jeb, I hope all the good things happen to you and we will be back and request you as our server. Great job, O'Malleys ❤️“

“I've lived here for 10 years now, and the Boat Bar has been a great place to feel welcome, let loose with great music and great people. also a great job too. the family here treat you like family as well. even outside the bar. Thank you to the Hagar family and most wonderful staff. my nephew thanks you as well.“

“I came here for the first time last night with my husband for an early Valentines Day dinner. My husband ordered the prime rib and I ordered a Greek salad. Everything was very tasty and came out quite fast. Our server Ariana was also very friendly and helpful with the huge menu.“

“we celebrated our anniversary today and our server was Melissa and she went out of her way to make our special day one to remember. She was so attentive and told us some history that we didn't know. An outstanding server. Kudos to the chef who cooked my steak to perfection along with great veggies/baked potato. My wife very much enjoyed the pot roast dinner. thanks again staff for a great meal.“

“Have eaten here on multiple occasions. Usually breakfast, but occasionally lunch as well. Have never had a bad meal or bad service.“

“Came in this morning for the first time, sat at the bar, and it was a good time! Great conversations and great food. Every plate that came out of the kitchen looked primo, and the taste was there too! Might be my new breakfast spot!“

“I haven't been here in a few years. our burgers were great. we will be back soon for the wonderfully priced fish dinners“

“Came for the first time today. Everything was great from the spinach dip to our salads, steaks, short ribs, potato. Literally it was wonderful. All staff we interacted with was great. Service was phenomenal. And the carrot cake is one of the best I've ever had. I completely recommend this place and cannot wait to come back.
Only thing I would say negative is the music was a touch loud.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“We haven’t been to The Fed in a long time! Like 2 years, we always celebrate our birthdays or Anniversaries ❤️ always a good time there. Last night we went there on a whim and Andrew Schneider was amazing. From the minute, he greeted us at the table it was top-notch throughout the whole meal. We’ll definitely be back. We definitely miss the vibe. Thank you Andrew(Drew) for an incredible experience and service. And of course, the food was fantastic!“

“Diana was very customer friendly and she helped me pick my order. My first time here from out of town and decided to stop in and try it out. Diana definitely has a welcoming personality, and she deserves a raise. Everything taste fresh and I enjoyed the food. I will definitely stop in next time I’m in town.“

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“Kids personal pizza with house made dough and sweet-savory sauce. Other kid got the fish & chips; delivered crisp, generous pieces that vanished fast. Wife’s chicken pasta was a tangy and good portion. My cheeseburger on its signature oddly flat in-house bun tasted great. Overall good food, waitress was young, shy, and definitely new but did a good job.“

“Everyone here is amazing 10/10 go go go!“

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“Awesome restaurant great food and the owner is a great man.“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“

“good food good prices friendly service and feel comfortable taking my grandkids and great grandkids there“

“Service and food is out of this world. Absolutely top notch. Food was on our table less than 5 min after we ordered it and it was phenomenal. We've been here back to back days and don't even live in the area. Willost certainly be back again.“

“I ordered on their website and did curbside pick up. It was ready quick. I checked everything before driving away, they forgot a fry so I called and told them. The girl on the phone was very nice and had someone bring out a fry within a minute!“

“Great service and great food. The specials are always creative and interesting. Atmosphere is super casual. On the bar side there are plenty of huge screens, but there is also a dining room side that doesn't have all of the distractions if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.“

“Best Mexican food (and chicken tenders) around, a great family owned business, margaritas are large and refreshing, haven’t had a bad meal from them, carry out is always fast and the side window is convenient. Great small place to catch a game at the bar and meet up for small talk.“

“Awesome every time!! Portions are large and the Staff is very friendly.“

“We’ve been here five times now, and it never disappoints-some of the best food we’ve had! The staff are always incredibly friendly, and it’s become one of our favorite breakfast spots. Honestly, it’s a shame it took us so long to discover this gem. Oh and the pulled pork is phenomenal.“

“The Orion Grill has become a positive addition to our neighborhood. The. chefs are far above other places near us. There is no place better for miles around for breakfast. Outdoor eating is a treat. The wait staff is professional. We plan to take friends to dinner tonight and know everyone will enjoy dinner.“

“Phenomenal food. Was looking for a restaurant and so glad I lucked out choosing this one. When I arrived immediately received a large loaf of bread with the table. The flounder, coconut milk rice, and Granada were 10/10. Don't get me started on the desserts, the butter cake was 11/10 and the cobbler just as outstanding. Stuff mushroom, just another home run. The staff were attentive with great recommendations. Chamomile tea paired well with all of this. The pizza was also some of the best pizza I ever had. I don't often come to this area but I will be making the drive for this place. Highly recommended. Nice place, with an outdoor dining area. This place is perfect for dating. Prices were surprisedly less than I would expect for such amazing food.“

“They always have good food.“

“We have been here a few times and it's always good. Service is decent, food is hot and decent. The place always seems to have a few tables, but never overly busy of the times we have been here. I ordered my burger medium rare, and it was well done, but it was hot and didnt sit in the window for a long time. It was seasoned well and was still nice and juicy. The girlfriend got a chicken quesadilla and really enjoyed it. The garnish was a little odd being rough chopped salad lettuce and diced tomatoes, but the quesadilla was really good. We got potato skins for an appetizer and it was decent, just basic sysco frozen potato skins tho. Nothing is over the top delicious, but nothing is horrible either. Just, decent bar food. Def check this place out, but dont expect a 5 star meal either.“

“Had a fun time here. The band was great, made some new friends. I will be back!“

“Miles was the absolute best!!! I had the Tavern Club it was delicious, but the bacon wasn't. It was flimsy and undercooked.“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“First time visiting Ignite Tavern and I went because they were hosting a trivia night. Food was excellent and when I asked our waiter, Dave, what he'd recommend he gave me plenty of options to choose from. Then when I asked about the soup he provided me a sample taste and it was so good I ordered a bowl. We were there for about 2 hours and Dave kept coming by to check on us and top off our waters. I will definitely be back again for both trivia and the good food and service.“

“They have awesome service and the food great, they have entertainment every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights“

“Great Place. My complaint. NO BLUE CHEESE DRESSING. I Had Chicken Strawberry Salad once a week. Every now and then since they quit serving Bleu cheese. Never after today when We asked the server who to address our concerns to, 2 servers pointed to the owner who picked up our plates and pretended he couldn't talk English. RUDE“

“Drinks - dragon fruit margarita, delicious
Appetizer - spinach and cheese dip. Also very yummy. The flat bread was warm and soft with just enough crisp edges
Dinner -was delicious and I got 2! BF got ribeye and sweet potato. Delivered perfect. I ordered sirloin cooked rare plus and shrimp with corn on the cob. Lol got the wrong order. Was noticed immediately kitchen did a re fire before I even got to mention it to the waitress cuz they were on it. Just a mix up. Same entre, so easy to confuse.. they left me all the food. The timing of the service recovery and waitress were amazing. (wrong food most likely cuz someone working a differnt section was just trying to be helpful and help out while our waitress was busy)“

“I went here for the first time with some friends to watch the NCAA tournament. I want expecting much but they had a good beer selection and the wings were really good.... Way better than BW3's these days. The waitress was really nice and made sure we had everything we needed. If definitely go back for their wings.“

“Perfectly cooked steak without insaine prices. Ordered a filet, full slab of ribs and a 20oz ribeye, 2 sides (that came with meals) under 100.00 without tip. Service was fantastic even silent drink refills. I absolutely would recommend this location and absolutely will be back.“

“Food was ok. Lemon Rice soup was fantastic!! Our server was nice, polite. But it was freezing in there!! I overheard others complain to their servers. I totally get it as i used to wait tables pre-Covid. But almost every server was wearing long sleeves/hoodies. And if I was cold, the other patrons had to be miserable!“

“We’ve always had good food and service any time we’ve been here. It’s exactly what you’d expect. But today there was a server(not even ours) who went out of her way to make my young sons(2&4) feel special. With a random act of kindness. When I told my son that I didn’t have any cash for the duck claw machine, she overheard and had pulled a pair of singles out of her book for my sons to “win” a duck. I didn’t accept it, because we have too many toys as is, and my wife generally keeps a little cash(which my son begged from her). I didn’t her name, but I hope her manager sees this. She is a lovely young woman 5ft(ish) with medium brown hair in 2 long braids.“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere. Dominic is the best bartender ever, he’s so friendly and seems like an all around great guy.“

“I stopped in Monday on my way back from up north. First time here. I wanted to go back the next day. I wasn’t a fan of the queso but I’m not a huge cheese guy but I typically like queso. The salsa’s were very good. I mixed them and they were even better. Steak tacos were so good. Rice was good, but didn’t seem authentic. Cheap food, I will be back!!“
