50 Best American Restaurants near Lambertville

“Probably the best restaurant I have been to there food is amazing also best cold slaw I ever had“

“Always solid. Attentive and friendly staff. My go-to diner.“

“Good first time visit. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was really nice inside and had more of a restaurant vibe instead of a Bar so that was really nice. French Dip had a really good flavor and the BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger was cooked perfectly and was still juicy even though i said well done. The bun on the bugets and french dip held together nicely. Ribs where really flavorful and tender pulled the rib meet off with a fork. Pretzel bites and the deep fried cheese chunks where surprisingly good as where the nachos. Only complaint is the chicken we got was very dry and salad had only lettuce in it but besides it was a really nice first visit. Almost forgot get the homemade chips over the fries they are really tasty.“

“Fantastic croutons. We loved our burger and Caesar salad. ⭐️ great experience at time of pick up.“

“We normally like everything at Sideline’s but today ordered the shrimp fettuccine. Normally very good. Today it was so salty you couldn’t eat it. The manager came out a blamed it a the prep chef. They did offer to make another meal. The issue I had was they kept serving that sauce to other customers. Someone is going to get very sick.. I can’t believe a real chef would continue to serve that.“

“We went today for our first time for the Sunday brunch special and oh. my. goodness. They had everything you could want. Breakfast included quiche, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage, kielbasa and eggs. Also pancakes and Belgian waffles. Brunch had homemade mac n cheesecake which was some of the best ive ever had. Turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, prime rib, ham. I mean i was literally in heaven. But the star of the show was definitely the turkey and the mac n cheese. Absolutely amazing. This is our new spot forsure ❤️“

“We had a birthday party here with about 30 people. Kim was so helpful and kind with the planning process. On the actually night, all our guests had delicious meals with fast service. Our waitresses were efficient and friendly the whole time. All the food is amazing. I've never had a bad meal here. This has become one of my favorite places to eat downtown. Go visit them, you won't be sorry! Fantastic food!“

“Very average place - Loud; crowded; poor service; and average food. Not sure what the excitement is about“

“We had Staci that’s always there waitress ? she was excellent. This was the first time here and we loved all The food we ordered and Def will be going back.“

“The cute guy with the curly hair deserves a raise. I came in today to get a delivery order and I wasn't in the best mood so I wasn't really talkative or overly friendly but despite that he gave me excellent customer service and made sure that I knew I was a priority to the staff. Thanks for not receiving my energy as an insult and continuing to be a good guy I really appreciate it. This is the exact type of mindstate that should be in management if he already isn't.“

“Eclectic decor in a super cool old building that was the first building in Downtown Toledo to be wired for electricity! Wow we sent our compliments to the chef, everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. They have won awards for their original cocktails and the bartender did not disappoint. Excellent waitress who deserved every penny of her tip. We will be back!“

“Sooooo good! Had the squash soup, broccoli cheese quiche, and the smoked beef poutine. Highly recommend this top notch food for the casual diner. There is a reason they are in the top 5 picks for Toledo.❤️“

“I ordered over the phone, day after the German American fest. The guy was busy but he still knew how to talk to the customer. I figured it was probably the boss. I want to thank that whole family, for keeping good food around. That means more to people than they will let you know. The food is good and the portions make me feel like i got away with something.“

“Best food and service ever.“

“The waitresses are very nice and efficient. My favorites are Brittany and her twin sister Alyssa. Both are very efficient and keep me smiling and coming back for more.“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch. Top-notch service (Lynn Humphrey), food was great—one of our favorite places.“

“EVERYTHING!!!! GREAT FOOD& AWESOME STAFF“

“Chef Erika Rapp never disappoints and every visit to this wonderful restaurant reaffirms it as my favorite place for our Anniversary dinner. I look forward to the coconut, chorizo and sweet potato steamed muscles that she has had on the fall menu consistently for the last 5 years. And being Gluten Free the care Chef Erika takes to offer many delicious options, means I can always find the perfect meal. Last night the fish dish was perfection, from the perfectly cooked cod, to the savory and slightly sweet delicata squash puree to the textural elements of the crisp broccolini and the crunch of the pomagranate and pepitas. And the dish paired wonderfully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. After enjoying a basket of gluten free pop-overs (another favorite treat) and appetizers I was stuffed, but the dish was too delicious to leave even one bite on the plate. Our server Miranda was fabulous. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and added so much to our dining experience. I highly reccommend.“

“THIS is what a diner should be! Quick friendly service, great coffee, and delicious food (without paying an arm and a leg). To top it off, they have a functioning jukebox ? (only accepts dollar bills, btw).

NOTE ‐ they do NOT accept any credit or debit cards. Cash only. Just stop at an ATM first. It's worth it. ?“

“had the Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Sausage Gravy was Average but the biscuits were from a can. When you can peel layers its from a can. you can do better than that. you could buy a flat of biscuits better than the canned version.“

“I have gotten them three times twice it was really good good amount third time seeing lazy it was done like crap but I guess nobody's perfect you know every time I just go there about once a month it isn't that bad at all people are decent.“

“Ordered cheese bread and a small 9” pizza and wow! The cheese bread appetizer is basically a 12” cheese pizza with a side of pizza dipping sauce ! Plenty enough to eat on its own!

It’s hard to rate a pizza against Fredi the pizza man in Melvindale MI which is phenomenal if you like a New York style pizza which I do.

But, I think it’s a really really bad idea for the Village Inn to serve a pizza that they baked in a plastic dish . Even if it was BPA free which I don’t know if the pizza dishes are, or, aren’t BPA free . The idea of safe plastic for cooking anything is concerning.
Their pizzas would be much crispier if baked in a pizza oven rather than a plastic pizza dish.

Great looking place in the inside and outside as well.

I’ll be back to try some other menu items“

“Never have been that was my first time service was great food was wonderful would have given it a five-star review however some items were forgotten and we had to go back up front and get them however other than that definitely where you want to eat lunch“

“Great lunch menu. Awesome prices for the amount of food. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. We will be back.“

“Hands down, my favorite restaurant ever. You just can't go wrong with a Big Boy, with tarter sauce on it, and a side of crispy fries. I have ordered the same thing every time since I was a kid. If I see a Big Boy while out doing things, I make it a point to stop in for a bite. They never disappoint. The service is always fast and friendly, and the prices are right!

Kid-friendliness: Great selections on their kids menu“

“Excellent! From the food to the service. The prices are reasonable and the music and atmosphere made all of this together a total hit. In an unassuming strip mall, we also drove right by! We will definitely be back!“

“Great food and great service“

“We visited on a Monday in mid-April 2025 for lunch.

This was a typical zoo restaurant. It's a grab and go. There are prepared foods on the side, both hot and cold. There are customizable stuff behind the counter and made to order. Expect it to be overpriced.

The loaded mac and cheese wasn't bad. The young lady behind the counter was making it for us when an older man (who I assume to be a manager) walked by and told her she was putting TOO much toppings in the mac and cheese so she stopped mid scoop with the bacon.

We got chicken tenders and fries which were both fine. We also got the prepared cobb salad. The lettuce on top looked fine but once we opened it and dug deeper, the lettuce were the harder and thicker stalks and more discolored. We still ate it because we were hungry but it did not look super fresh or maybe the salad sat too long in the back before packing it.

We also got the chocolate pudding and the jello. We all agreed the gummy worms in the chocolate pudding had a weird taste and off putting. The texture was also strange and unfortunately a lot of the flavor had leached into the pudding. The jello however was fine and those gummies were normal.

Condiments you grab on your own, self serve.

Cashier was nice and asked if we had membership, which we did and gave us the additional discount. It's nice when they ask because I forget sometimes with all the craziness going on.

The restaurant it self wasn't packed but there were 4 or 5 other groups in there with us. The place also was very clean and new looking. Not sure when this placed opened or renovated but it was very clean and modern. There are no tables to eat inside so we went outside to find a seat. There were no tables in the Kid's play place or neighborhood area so we walked around to where the hippo statues were to eat.

Even though the zoo website says no outside food, we were never searched and I swear almost EVERYONE we saw at the picnic tables had brought food in. Maybe it was locals who knew vs tourist. You can always leave and eat food in your car but it's just so inconvenient.“

“The peppermint ice cream pie with oreo crust was delicious!! Always a crowd favorite! Fast and friendly service“

“Had the angus cheeseburger today. SO good and cooked to correct temp. I ate the whole thing which I rarely eat my whole burger if is that big. And their Great Lakes kettle sea salt potato chips WITH the skin are a great selection! I just love this place and the staff. Best. Ever.“

“Great food, great staff, great time!“

“Our server was super attentive, polite and helpful (outstanding)! We had hoped to overlook the river while eating breakfast but drapes were pulled. We looked under the drapes and windows were very dirty - might be reason drapes were closed . Food was ok.“

“The food was amazing and the portions were very sizable. My family and I will return soon.“

“Huge portions and delicious food!! Guy & his crew do a great job & are very friendly!! I usually don’t like pasta but guys is the best around!! If you haven’t tried them out do it, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Good food. Very generous portions. Freindly and speedy service. GREAT value.“

“We went to Mancys for lunch. It was great. The prices were reasonable. The steak was cooked to perfection and very tender. The Yukon potatoes were very good with the seasoning on the potatoes. Service was very good as well. Try their Lunch.“

“Excellent food, and the service is great. Our waiter Rob was so nice and friendly. It was just wonderful. I highly recommend it.“

“Friendly and patient staff. Good food, especially their soup. Great place for our lunch get togethers“

“Love ideal hotdog! Best chili Mac hands down! Staff is the best here! Clean place awesome food.Great chili dogs! Great omelets! Great everything. Looking for a classic diner with great food stop in. Been around forever. They need to sell ideal hotdog merch. One of the best restaurants in Toledo.“

“This is a decent restaurant right off the strip in Sylvania. There is a large variety of various cheese melt sandwiches. The Milky Way Martini was absolutely delicious. The french fries were hot and crispy. The Onion rings we're borderline roached a couple were. The sandwiches are really good. Maybe a little bit pricey but at least it was fresh food.“

“Excellent, excellent excellent!! I haven't been to Frisch's in a very long time and I know the chain is struggling as open times and drive through changes each week. This is a long ago favorite restaurant of mine and I recently moved back to the area after a 30 year absence. I am saddened to see it struggling. But yet stay the good and friendly place of my memories. Food was good, service kind and friendly and facility clean well maintained inside and out. Kudos to all who work hard to obtain this quality.“

“Brenda's is comfortable homestyle dining experience. It has a menu with lots of offerings. I have been there twice and have enjoyed both my selections. The last time I got a vegetable grinder that was just delicious! The server was very attentive to our group of 10. I will definitely be going again.“

“He really is consistent in his quality of food. I just love his chicken tenders. If I could I'd order them at least twice a day. Best chicken in the city! 12 stars. Highly recommend“

“food is amazing , may seem simple but the taste is far from it ! Great customer service and very clean space! 10/10 recommend !“

“My parents and I recently was coming back from Ann arbor VA hospital, and we stopped here to eat. My mom had the chicken chunks and a side salad. Parmesan flavored chunks they were amazing!!! My dad had a burrito it was the size of his plate it was amazing too! And I had a chef salad, and guess what? That's right! It was the best food I have ever eaten at a restaurant before. I'm not even kidding our waitress was wonderful, are we had a great time, and we enjoyed the food! and plan on stopping back.“

“The food is the best in town!!! Service goes above and beyond, my wife and I have been looking for a restaurant in the area for over a year we found our place!“

“Kristen’s service is unmatched, she’s incredibly friendly and very attentive. I had the chef salad and it was amazing and fresh.“

“We went to Shorty's after having issues at another restaurant. Shorty's really took care of us, both in terms of service and food quality. I had a half rack of ribs, and they were quite tasty without needing additional sauce. My wife had a pork stuffed potato, and it was quite satisfying, as well. It had the right balance of potato to toppings. We've been to Shorty's a few times now, and they have always done a good job.“

“Man, this waffle house is the cleanest I’ve seen in all the Toledo Ohio. The service was stupendous. There is an elite server. I can’t remember her name, but she was excellent. This joint is super clean outside and inside the food came really fast. It was hot like it was supposed to be and that Good.“
