8 Best American Restaurants near Cottage Grove

“Needed some food for my tummy. Glad I stopped here.

While Culver's is a chain restaurant every location can be different. This location is one of the best.

I stopped with the gals and we ordered lunch. The restaurant was clean and bright. The tables and chairs were freshly cleaned. The bathroom was neat and tidy.

We were greeted quickly and with a friendly smile. Our orders were taken and we headed to the dinning room to sit.

Everything came out shortly and everything was made to order. Nothing missing or made incorrectly. The burgers were delicious and the fries are some of the best anywhere. The chili was amazing as well.“

“The venue and staff were nothing short of amazing for our mom's Celebration of Life! Courtney's helpful hand in the planning process from our first meeting through end of the day took all of the stress off of us so that we were able to relax and enjoy our special day. Shelly and Brian's attention to detail during the event, making sure tables were clean, fresh trays of food were always available and any requests were taken care of right away, left us and. our guests feeling well cared for. Many guests commented how beautiful the room was and how great it was to have the comfortable patio reserved just for us. The ability to have family and friends who couldn't be there in person be able to attend virtually on Zoom was so appreciated. The huge sign outside by the street with my mom's name to welcome our guests as they entered the parking lot was the perfect extra touch. I hiiiiiiiiighly recommend the venue for anyone's special event. Thank you so much staff of River Oaks Golf for making our day a true celebration for family and friends of our mom!

“came in today and had great service (as always) from Michelle behind the bar! Also had the pot roast sliders, so glad to see those are back on the menu! now if the italian mac and cheese was back on the menu this everything would be perfect!“

“For an Applebee's chain restaurant, this one is a good location. The server was a bit slow (he was also the bartender and there was only the one other server when we came in), but he was friendly and kind and accommodating. What surprised me was the food. Last time I was in an Applebee's it was all a bit... Sterile tasting. This was actually tasty. The fiesta lime chicken was tender, not overcooked as I was expecting. The rice was flavorful and (thankfully) did not contain corn. The chicken parm fettuccine was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were my favorite. I had a watermelon lime rush, which is one of my favorite combinations of flavors, and it was so refreshing and lively and went perfect with the food.“

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

“First time there. Stopped to pick up their Friday night fish fry to go. Plenty of food for 2. The back room had a country western band that was loud and no decor with a cement floor and plastic rectangular church basement tables in rows. The fish fry was OK, lots of sides - Cole slaw (tasty but heavy on dressing), greens beans (canned, overcooked and my husband was disappointed they had onions mixed in), garlic mashed potatoes or a baked potato, Texas toast and choice of 3 flavors of pudding. I got the mashed potatoes and although they were garlicky enough, I can see why most people went with the baked potato with an add your own sour cream option. Ok, but not exciting enough to go back for take out and definitely wouldn't want to eat in.“

“Dry Rub Cajun Wings-check! Great Tap Beer-check! Fantastic Fish-Check! Great Service-Check! Fantastic night out with specials at Happy Hour time, too.“

“because Cubfoods hires and stands behind people who abuse their customers.“
