30 Best American Restaurants near Columbus

“I thought i would give this a try as I was in the area on a Friday night. The casino is small but offers quite a bit of card games for those who enjoy poker, black jack, pai gao and several others. When you first walk in, the bar area and restaurant greet you, I grabbed a seat at the bar and was quickly offered a water and menu. I ordered a club sandwich and fries($10), my sandwich arrived pretty quickly and was delicious. the club is large and filling, and the fries were tasty. If you are looking for a good value in the Forest Lake area, it's hard to pass up Trout Air Tavern but it does come with whole Casino vibe.“

“The staff....from the hotel to the casino..... was extremely friendly. Exceptionally clean rooms. Beds were comfortable. We'll be back when we are needing a little getaway.“

“Best barbecue ever!!!!!!!“

“We went to Tom's Pumpkin Patch and stopped here for an early dinner afterwards. All of the staff were so friendly and accommodated our 4 adults and 4 kids wonderfully! The food was great and so reasonably priced. We'll come here again!“

“Good food, EXCELLENT service and the atmosphere is like fine dining but casual. If that makes sense. Although for 6 of us, I spent over $300! So, not your "let's go grab a bite" when ya don't know what to make for dinner, type of place. I'd definitely go again....in a couple months! ?“

“Great food, friendly staff and drink specials. prices are excellent.“

“Nick was our waiter recently for a birthday celebration… he was exceptionally accommodating and made our evening! Food great as always.“

“They absolutely have the best wings ever! I've also been happy with other foods and the service!“

“I gave the food 5 stars but it's really 4 stars. That's my rating but most people that like their food will give 5 stars. To me 5 stars is THE BEST. Don't mistake, the food was fantastic. Got salty Calamari, General Tsos Chicken and Hot and Sour soup. We did take out, 3i miles away. The Calamari was OK but may have been better eating in. Calamari 3 stars, good. We would order it again. General Tsos chicken was very good. Not spicy but good. I will absolutely order again. We opted for fried rice instead of white rice. It was very good. 4 stars. The hot and Sour soup was fantastic. I was already full and had to finish it. It's as close to 5 stars as I can give. The ambiance is not why you would ever go here, so 3 stars. But that's OK! Service was prompt but not personable. No eye contact etc. Do I care? No. 4 stars.“

“I work here and it's the best golf course in Minnesota in my opinion the course is very easy to follow the staff is exceptional, it's really clean, and the atmosphere is amazin. I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a member because it's a private course.“

“It's a Culver's!!! Not a lot more to say than that.

Want tacos? Go somewhere else.

Want gross burgers and cheap fries brought to you by a clown mascot? This ain't it!

Want good food, great ice cream (frozen custard), with a midwest feel? Well then, welcome to Culver's!!!“

“Excellent food, great prices and awesome service!“

“Food was SO good and portion was filling! Bar tender was so friendly and helpful - and really accommodating! The street tacos with the corn tortillas were among the best I’ve had. The server was polite and friendly too. I’m bummed I didn’t snap a photo, however — I’ll be back!“

“Man I got to tell you. Out of all eating places I love the best is this place. Best prime rib I have ever tasted. Great cole slaw. Potatos and beautiful gravy that is beyond great. Let this be my last meal before I go to heaven. For my birthdays this is where I tell my boys I want to eat at. Great staff. Thank you for everything.“

“My husband and I have been going to the blacksmith restaurant for over 40 years. The only item I have had is their chicken which is addicting. They sell more Broasted chicken than anyone else in Minnesota. All their food is great but it is their chicken for me. At least once a week I have to have it. They have a 12 piece to purchase and take out also….we have done that after eating there !!!!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️For the Village Inn in Wyoming, MN. Let me break it down for you: First off, cozy as heck. It's like stepping into your grandma's living room, minus the plastic-covered furniture. It's the kind of place that makes you feel right at home. The food: I went for the adult grilled cheese, but as a veggie enthusiast, I skipped the bacon and added some fresh jalapenos for that extra kick. Trust me, it was 😋! And those crinkle fries? Pure yum. My mini food critic, Buggie, went for the taco salad and a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. She's 12, so her taste buds are still a work in progress, but hey, as long as it makes her happy, right? 😄 As for my husband, he tackled the bacon cheeseburger. Now, here's where things got interesting. The food arrived piping hot, but the location of the Village Inn has some wild intersections, and guess what? A car accident unfolded right before our eyes. my old man had to rush out to help (he's a firefighter), so he ended up eating his burger cold. But guess what? It still hit the spot. In a nutshell, the Village Inn is a gem in Wyoming, MN. Cozy vibes, satisfying food, and even a dash of adrenaline thanks to the intersection drama. 🚗💥“

“I love Culver's it is my favorite fast food restaurant always count on it to be delicious. Unfortunately this location has a real problem. I have ordered the Curbside To Go several times on the way up North with plenty of time for the food to be repaired before we get there and almost without fail we end up waiting around for 20 minutes and then have to walk inside and alert someone to prepare our order. I use the service at several other locations and don't have the same problem. It is really frustrating that the curbside option is offered but not executed. Also on the most recent visit they forgot our kids juice box which we discovered once we were back on the freeway.“

“Thay made right by me , my salad should have came with cashews on the side , but they put them in the salad i can't eat that way ,i brought my salad back up to the counter and they replaced it. Thank you

God bless you all ?“

“I rarely go out to eat because usually the food is overpriced and disappointing. It’s been so long since I enjoyed a perfect burger I forgot how good they can be. I am not kidding, the dream burger is some kind of special.“

“So many wonderful smells! I created some interesting smells that floated around the restaurant!“

“This is the BEST place for great food and amazing service!! Deedee is the most incredible person!! All the staff is incredible. I drive over an hour just to hang out at this awesome bar and restaurant. Thank you to you all!“

“Just had dinner at this little joint and it did NOT disappoint. Mallory was our server and she was phenomenal! The food, ambiance, and service were top notch. As a restaurant owner ourselves up north, this place checks off all the boxes. But, don't just take my word for it, go check it out. I promise you won't be disappointed 😊“

“Shout out to my new favorite spot! This is the only bar in the North Branch area that will play a Packers Game for locals and not just the Vikings games. They are extremely friendly. The owner is amazing and accommodating unlike, sadly, some of the other local owners who won't even make eye contact with patrons. Their food is amazing! The bartender and waitress are hard workers especially given the short staffed situation of all places as of late. We go out alot and this place is the place we will frequent even though it's farther away than others! Love it here. Thanks Friar's!“

“Food was good but I tried a new item and it just doesn't fit right... A chicken hot honey meal, It came on a nice hot skillet, flavor was good, it looked pretty... But a cut up chicken breast w/ onions & mushrooms on top & a side of fries was ??? I took my meat side home with me and put it on top of a bed of rice and to me that worked better!? 😁“

“Our server maryah was an absolute legend! She greeted us and interacted with the whole family ordering and making our experience a great one. She also had great recommendations and our service was excellent. Great location to stop for a valentines dinner with the family!

Dietary restrictions: Love the variety for gluten free.“

“Great atmosphere Long happy hours Prices you can’t beat! Gambling Bingo Twice a week And I hear the service is great“

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much“

“very good im very happy everytime i go“

“This restaurant is outstanding. I loved everything about it. The food, the drinks, the service; everything was better than I expected. The prime rib was spectacular, as was the veggie spud. And the chocolate cake was to die for...and to die from. Seriously, it could easily feed five or six adults! The house specialty cocktails were very creative and so good. And I can't say enough about the service. I didn't get my server's name, but she was amazing. If you're in the area (or even just passing through), definitely put this restaurant on your list.“
