50 Best American Restaurants near Flushing

“First of all great menu selection, and great food. But wanted to give a shout of thanks and praise to the waitstaff and management. Our large group really appreciated the accommodating, super friendly nature of the staff. They made us feel like family. We did get there just before the dinner rush the 2 nights we visited but they were quick to accommodate our 12+ group the first night and 25+ group the 2nd night. Everyone loved their food and our vegetarians had a lot to choose from too. Each night one waitress took care of our group and it was astonishing how quickly our orders were taken and our food was received. Management checked in on us regularly with friendliness that warmed our hearts. Thank you to everyone at Johnny’s Pour House for taking such good care of our volunteer Kingdom Hall roofers- The High Vis Gang?“

“Flushing A is great, at the center of downtown, its the heart of American fast food for Flushing but it no longer will be fast if yall dont fix your drive up speakers. The entire point of them is the convenience and why i am sure a lot of people come here. Its looking like half of them are broken. What gives?“

“When my grandson takes me grocery shopping, I treat him out to lunch. This time we chose Hill Road Grille. He had the shrimp linguine and I had the breaded veal cutlets. Everything was good. Prices are less than what you pay at the chain restaurants.“

“Great food! Fast and friendly service.“

“The food is usually pretty good. I especially enjoy their Slim Jim sandwich. We stopped for a late breakfast, and I should have ordered the Slim Jim. I had a breakfast bowl instead, and it was just a hot mess that gave me indigestion. I never even finished it. I am still giving them 4 stars because it wasn't their fault that I chose the wrong dish. I miss all of the Big Boys that have shutdown north of this location.“

“I tried everything on the menu IT WAS THE BEST FOOD IN MICHIGAN I HAD BEEN TO LOTS OF RESTARANSTS AND THIS IT THE BEST. Thank you.“

“On 7/22 I and my service dog were denied entry at Doms Diner stating owners policy. On a post I was invited to go to Leo’s on Miller road. I had never been there so I and a friend tried it today. With my service dog beside me helping me walk, we made our way to a table. The area was clean, waitstaff were very friendly and food was great. I will be going to Leo’s again and appreciate the kindness shown to myself and my service dog.“

The food has a good flavor and a nice crunch on their chicken strips. The little chicken sliders were fabulous. My coworker said the beef sliders were amazing. We will diffently be back for round 2. Thank you so much!!!

“It's been a while since we last visited Cracker Barrel, we are not regulars but every once in a while we have a craving for an old country style breakfast. While we have always had a good or neutral experience, today's was exceptional primarily due to the excellent and friendly service we received from our server Quentin. He is exactly what our workforce needs to remain competitive in the world today. It may sound trivial but as someone who has worked with the general public for 40 years, it's no small matter to satisfy and please the sometimes unreasonable demands people have. The type of service we received today from Quentin gives me hope that all is not lost in the service industry. Cracker Barrel is fortunate to have Quentin as part of their team. Thanks!“

“waited too long in drive thru, hot my order wrong, refused to show us the receipt, ordered extra fries as a side and just got the normal amount but charged for double, charged us different prices than was on the menu not just a dollar like tax either it was a lot more , when asked to give us the items messed up or missing from orser extremely rude old waiter with a mask (only person wearing a mask, take a hint lady)and wrinkles she wore at us and tried to charge us 7 more dollars then threw our money at us and told us not to come back ....dony worry we wont your food ain't that good, we come there out of convenience not prices or taste...we will make the drive to starlight from now on“

“Wonderful family Birthday celebration, delicious food. We loved our server, Little Sarah C. She is terrific! ❤️“

“My daughter and grand kids took me to Dom's Diner for "Mother's Day" on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Everyone's food was great. My daughter had fish and fries, one of the grand kids had the alfredo with shrimp and chicken. My other grand son had chicken and fries. The youngest had mickey mouse pancakes with bacon. It was the first time I tried chicken and waffles, they were delicious. The waitress went above and beyond, and you can't find this time of service everywhere..“

“Great staff, great atmosphere, clean , drinks/ food 😋“

“Girls night, cousin fest, whatever you need Janet and Tonya can make it happen! Great service and food/drink menu!!!“

“I love this bar & the customers there. I always meet new friends.! Very friendly atmosphere & the staff is wonderful. They are so friendly & I never have to wait for service because they take great care of their customers. When I go there for their amazing breakfast at 7am or afternoon/evening for their delicious pizza or corned beef sandwich the food is always topnotch! I highly recommend the Wwoden Keg!“

“great food and the best vibes to be found dj mumblez set's it off love this place“

“I placed excellent job. The same order was placed June6, 2023 and again June 8, 2023. One order June 6th was superb. The order and chef did an excellent job. Time of order 11:08 A.M. On June 8th the time of the order was 12:53 P.M. The brisket was not tender the chef was stingy on the chicken, all in all the package was not worth $49.82 Whoever the chef was June 6th give him a raise. I cannot say the same for the order Feast for Two for the chef that served it.“

“Ally was a great waitress, the best we have ever encountered. She made my birthday dinner so special. Please don't let her go anywhere. We will be back because of her. The hostess was very rude when we entered and should not be welcoming guests. His name was Connor. We almost turned around and went somewhere else. The manager Susie took care of our problem immediately. We appreciate her kindness and service skills. We will be back. Thank you“

“Food was great, but service was poor. It took way too long to be greeted by a server, she would then disappear for long periods of time. Also, we didn’t receive the promo envelope as advertised at the end of our meal and gave up waiting for her to return to ask about it. We will probably return because the food and beer was delicious, but we will remember to sit by the bar in order to be more visible to the inattentive waitstaff.“

“It's a lil pricey but worth it they automatically take gratuity over 15 percent I didn't like that part.... I rather choose what I want to tip... food had a great flavor besides gator bites not my favorite I have had them much better at other places other than that I had a great time my favorite was the Drinks and bartenders“

“We went to try the food and were happy with what we ordered. Better than most restaurants we have been to. We stayed and listened to the DJ play music and watch the dancers. Plan to go back to try other food choices.“

“the only thing that is irritating is when they aren't even busy they bring people over and sit them right next to you....... sometimes you don't want to hear their conversations! I never understood why they do that“

“Not a fan. The food was ok. But if you go with anyone that happens to be part of the gay community, you get an uncomfortable feeling.“

“Service was great! Food was fantastic. Was busy because it’s a weekend but it was overall good.“

“We went on the weekend and it wasn't crazy busy. Our waitress was really nice as was another waitress who would walk by and leave a drink refil.on her way by. Surprised my son everytime. Everyone I talked to was friendly and the food was amazing. Would recommend.“

“Due to the popularity of this quick serve grill, I knew the choices would be good, especially when I saw the pilot of my plane in line. They know where to eat. This was early morning so there were not many choices. I bought a scrambled egg burrito as it would not be too messy to take aboard. The Grille is behind security so everything one buys there is approved for taking aboard. Coffee and bottled water are available as well as other choices. The burrito was hot and served with salsa and wrapped well to carry on. I was pleased and it tasted good going down aboard my flight.“

“I love Halo Burger so much, I’d like to share you with my friends and family in Croswell Michigan. McDonald’s just doesn’t do it for me….junk food! Please consider coming to our area. Than you!“

“I liked the food for a first time visit. Just got some chicken tenders with some mac and cheese. I liked the taste of both. Some fish was also ordered and they enjoyed the taste. A good portion of food for the price and for a Friday night, we got our food pretty quickly (ordered ahead). I would go back again.“

“Quality food and great service. Always stop by when I’m in the area. Get the Caesar Pita shredded chicken wrap. Local Michigan company, I’ve always been a fan, it’s one of the few places that is as good as I remembered it being as a kid.“

“Ordered my food at 8 and got my food at 9:23. Tonight is the BOGO free wings. Got home to only received 6/10 wings. I called the manager Tyler and he was so nice and thoughtful. He refunded my order. Even though I want to give this place a 2/10. His customer service was 10/10. That right there is why I will be coming back.“

“I had met with a group in banquet room after a homegoing service! I had always heard people talking about how much battery the point location was in the Saginaw Michigan location and I’ll tell you what I will go to hands down everything I cried was just absolutely wonderful I thoroughly stuck myself up there very happy and very full I would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone any one of the employees that I had happen to have contact with were more than helpful more than polite I was very very pleased with my afternoon there“

“My dad's go-to whenever we have lunch. The food is good and the service is friendly. Reasonably priced and has always been tasty. If you sign-up on the app you can order free chips and salsa. After so many points you receive other freebies. You also get free dessert on your birthday and you can choose any one off the menu.“

“I loved my server she was the best i didn’t enjoy the manager being unprofessional infront of guests and not treating our server with respect and I also wanted to say which manager it was for your experience for when you guys visit ihop. Her name is Christina she isn’t a professional manager I already filed a complaint for her. My server name is ireyala she is so great if you want to have a great time ask for her.“

“Friendly service. Excellent food.“
