46 Best American Restaurants near Temperance

“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.“

“The lead waitress is an awesome lady! She gives remarkable service! The place is too busy for the number of people they have serving. BOTH the cooks and the servers are efficient in what they do. The place is landlocked otherwise they could probably double their business.
That lead waitress makes the place rock! Pancakes were great!“

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

“Always have good food and KJ is the best waiter.“

“First time at Manhattan's. Really came for the Reuben but ended up getting their Carnegie. The sandwich was big and was split between the two of us. Started off with the French Onion soup. Best I've had in Toledo. The corned beef and pastrami on the sandwich was generous and delicious. The pickled green tomato was a crunchy surprise. Free parking right next door was a bonus. Will definitely be headed back soon to try their Reuben.“

“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.“

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

“We thought we would try this place out and we were very pleased that we did. We are from CT, and we have some pretty good steak spots there but the prime rib here was absolutely amazing. A tiny bit salty on the outer crust but other than that cooked perfectly and the taste was phenomenal. Mashed potatoes were great all around and carrot cake for dessert was fabulous as well. I give the place a good 4.9. I will definitely go back!

Parking: Big open parking lot

Kid-friendliness: I did not have my kids with me but I would have definitely been comfortable with bringing them with me“

“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!“

“Great food! Love the atmosphere! Give it a try if you haven’t yet Recommend the rack of Lamb and Brussels Sprouts and Chicken Drumettes as an appetizer“

“Great homemade food & wait staff“

“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.“

“Best food and service ever.“

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

“Great food at 90's prices!

It's a bit off the beaten path, but we're so glad we could try this joint. It has a super small-town feel to it, and all of the food was excellent. The staff here seem to enjoy what they do and know many of the regulars. The menu has a surprising variety of dishes as well.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“My husband and I had dinner here before a concert at the Toledo zoo. I had looked at the menu online but I didn't realize it was Barcelona night, so I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to the regular menu online. (My mistake)
We decided to stay and give a try & I must say the tapas was some of the best creations I ever had! We thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish wine and all the different small plates we ordered! So many wonderful flavors!! Hope there's a good show at the Zoo next year so we can eat at your fine establishment again!!
Thank you!“

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

“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“

“It has been a while since I have had lunch at Grumpy’s. Very happy to see a new owner. She is focused and committed to bring Grumpy’s back to what is was in the 90's. We shared the Ruben sandwich, excellent flavor, toasted perfectly. Only wish they had better chips. I started with the chicken noodle soup. Definitely homemade, delicious with plenty of chicken and vegetables. Could have been a little hotter. As time goes by, the ownership will continue to add to their menu. Overall, very good with great service and atmosphere!“

“Just visited River’s Edge at Carrington for the first time since 2020. And it did not disappoint! Food was delicious and service was exceptional. Kudos to Kayla and her team!“

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

“Been here multiple times and they always give me a reason to come back! Great customer service, the cooks are always nice and generous. Got an order of chilli cheese fries and 20 wings for 20 bucks, I originally ordered 15. You can’t beat that! My only wish is that they stayed open later! ?“

“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!“

“Butter burgers! Great fries!“

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

“Great food, great staff, great time!“

“Visited this lil gem for the first time, and it didn’t disappoint! Fast service, good food, great prices and lively environment! ❤️ Definitely worth stopping in!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“Stopped here on a detour to visit the nearby Luna Pier beach on the Lake Erie shore. Great, friendly, but not overbearing service. Good food with generous portions“

“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.“

“Great place to bring friends and family together!! Oregon location is the original Ralphie’s and a cornerstone of the community!“

“Food and service AMAZING! Onion rings were the best I’d ever had. We got cheeseburgers and chicken bombs, both were soo good! We will be back!“

“Very good cooking. Ordered cubed steak with mashed potatoes and gravy, cabbage and cornbread. So tender and tasteful. Also got the peach cobbler- which was yummy. It was very busy when I got there but they greeted me immediately and took my order. It was out within about 10-15 min. Highly recommend!!“

“Atmosphere is better than your average bar, with a cozy corner for the holiday season. Food was absolutely delicious. I had the Rib McSammich; it was smoky, the perfect heat, and the pickles/onions hit just right. My partner had the Mac and cheese, and she destroyed it. The cook(s) deserve all the praise. Absolutely blindsided my expectations for bar food. Service was prompt and drinks were strong! But not too strong :)“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly staff you won't leave hungry but with a box sometimes“

“Delicious brick oven pizza. Wings are incredibly tasty.“

“We came in after an excellent concert last night! We saw the band hairball and they were fantastic and!! And and Kayla was our server. She took our drink orders and almost immediately brought us my coffee and my wife's water, Mitch took our order again. Almost immediately brought us out our order. The service was incredibly fast and here's the kicker the whole time. Even though it was breakfast on a Saturday morning and Kayla was the only server in the building at the time. You would never have guessed that she was on top of it! I don't think we've ever had a a bad experience at a first watch, so not only do I recommend this first watch. Specifically, I recommend anytime you're out of town and if you find a first watch you know you could be safe going there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.“
