50 Best American Restaurants near Lambertville

“I love this little place. Good food for a good price.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My wife and I ate here... food was delicious. Place had a nice character and all wood decor. Drinks list good and swift service. We started with their bruschetta, four piece... very nice... and not just toast with olive oil and chopped tomatoes... try it. My better half had their Battered fish and chips... looked good and we'll presented. She didn't offer me a mouthful to try... so that speaks volumes. I opted for the Chicken Marsala... very well cooked... tender and we'll plated... sauce was tasty and plenty of it. Good sized portions and roughly $55 per each of us... that included a bottle of wine a beer and a whisky... a double shot. I'd go back... and if you haven't been, then go.“

“I’ve come here several times and I absolutely love the atmosphere and the energy that is here! I’ve had the absolute privilege of having wonderful servers and bartenders such as Brittany, Sierra, and Alyssa and they have been extremely warm and welcoming. I will definitely come back when I can!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Went here for the first time and we had a flawless experience. Our waitress was excellent, our food was well-timed and delicious, and it had a cozy atmosphere. We had the spinach queso for an appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert, both were must haves!“

“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!“

“Good food, great atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, and reasonable on the wallet!“

“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.❤️“

“First time visiting and I asked for a large chocolate cone.
Most places I have visited when asked for a large it’s more like a med/small and I love my ice cream so when they handed me my cone good lord it was more like a tripe x cone! I felt like a little kid lol it was massive and the ice cream tasted amazing I am one happy customer! The Price was right you definitely get what you pay for! Flavor the price and customer service perfection!“

“I think that this is the best diner in my area. The menu options are forever ongoing they have so much ! There are a few other diners and they’re good !Everything at American table is very flavorful fresh and fast coming out. Great Service friendly very helpful and affordable. I love American table in Oregon, Ohio.“

“My husband and I had such a great experience tonight! First time at the VI and our bartender Tati was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She kept our drinks full, and had such a positive attitude all night. It's clear she genuinely cares about her customers. Great service like this is hard to find, and she truly made our night even better. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Best food and service ever.“

“If you haven’t been to Fairways you have been missing out! The food is excellent and the menu is very diverse. The daily specials are always on point. The real treat at Fairways is the staff. It is a joy to interact with Jeff the owner. He is an “on hands” owner earning the respect of his amazing staff and his customers! You can be guaranteed to have a great experience!“

“Jefferson Express is a great place to eat breakfast it’s located in Toledo, Ohio. The food is very good, the service is great and the atmosphere is nice and friendly. My hat off to the cook. The owner’s and waitress are very friendly and welcoming. If you are ever in town. I do recommend to try it out, please don’t let the outside of the place stop you from going inside to get a great meal. Once you are on the inside you will forget about the outside because the food is delicious and you don’t want to miss out on a great meal.“

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

“We went there for the first time yesterday and did not realize they were very close to closing. We were treated to a great experience with wonderful service and hot, fresh food. Burgers were juicy and the fries hot and crisp! Hopefully next time I will have room for pie. What they did not know was that it was our 15th wedding anniversary, so thank you for a great memory!“

“We had a party of 16 today for our holiday lunch and everything was excellent! Everyone ate all of their food. The atmosphere was nice. The table was set up so we could easily converse with each other, and that can be difficult with a large party. I have always enjoyed the garbage salad and it did not disappoint. Will continue to be a customer!“

“All of the morning shift servers are awesome, even though I can't remember all of their names, Monica Kylie and Linda and the Cooks, Jake and Ian are also great. Have a lot of heart, smiles and enthusiasm. They put their customers first show them that they care and they try very hard to remember your names and who you are. I would give them 10 Stars if it was possible. Please come and see the staff in the morning Monday through Sunday they are great.“

“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.“

“We've been here over 30 times , party of 8 , got seated quickly . Server was on point ( Olivia ) Food was fair , but it was extremely busy . Management was more than gracious with two of the meals . Nice experience !“

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

“great food, great prices, great service“

“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.“

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

“Longtime customer and never disappointed. Mancys has steaks that melt in your mouth. It is a classic dining experience with good food and excellent service. Although I live in Cleveland, I make a point to stop anytime I pass near Toledo -- it's that good“

“Absolutely love to eat at this place! Their food is so fresh and the service is amazing. We had Olivia as our waitress and she did an outstanding job and is so cheerful and had a smile on her face the entire time. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.“

“Our first time dining over at Brenda’s and overall the experience was 10/10 Jessica our waitress was very polite and checked up on us several times. Food came out in under 15 minutes and was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were phenomenal! Very homey type of restaurant, definitely will be coming back!💗 (I got the farmers omelette and my boyfriend got the farmers skillet)“

“It’s my go to soul food spot the food is always hot and delicious. 🤤“

“Went there on 5/21/26 around 10:15 and had the best service. The breakfast sandwich and crab salad are the best!!! Everything’s fresh!!! Both the guy and the girl were very helpful and kind. They both were amazing! I wish I knew their names. Forgot to ask! The Reuben’s there are also my favorite. I dine there many times. This place is worth every penny and beyond!“

“awesome bartenders especially Carissa!!! The pizza is over the top.“

“I had them drain the meat before putting it on the chili mac and it has greatly improved the taste. Before that I would spend a ton of time on the toilet. The same goes for their chili dogs. The buns are not soggy anymore. I have no idea why this just isn't a thing but I feel like a lot of your other customers would benefit if you would do this automatically.“

“Great burgers. My go to place. Perfect everytime.“

“I had a massive sausage & cheddar omelette with perfectly crisped hash browns. Delicious!“

“I just had them for the first time and it was incredible! Even the mashed potatoes were good, which, in my opinion, can't be said about ordinary takeout. This chicken tastes just like the kind I used to get at a place that closed called, "Woody's Just Chicken." I remember trying to order one day after work only to find that they closed permanently and I was really sad. Anyways, whether or not these are the same people, the food here is incredible. Thank you!“

“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“

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

“I went on a Wednesday, they had music trivia, Name That Tune going. It was so much fun! The food was great! I had the Paddy Pattie and fries. The sandwich was grilled nicely, the burger patty was perfectly medium, and the fries were well seasoned and cooked just right. I will definitely be back!“

“Their personal chicken bacon ranch pizza is probably the best chicken bacon ranch pizza I've tasted in years that is what I am having today you normally I get one of their amazing baskets the customer service is beyond words definitely keeps me a regular customer but this pizza is a must buy“

“nice place good.food and delicious and friendly staff my first time there and I will be back“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“With the Sylvania bridge being out we’ve unfortunately been avoiding Monroe Street like the plague if possible.
Tonight we went to Shorty’s, a tried a true favorite. Our server Hannah was PHENOMENAL!! She refilled drinks without us asking, had a great attitude & was attentive without being too much. One of the better servers I recall having in a very longtime.“

“I always feel welcomed at the Sodbuster and it’s always a great time. Bobby May’s Sunday jam from 6-9 is fun and you never know who will stop by. I love it! ❤️“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere.“
