30 Best American Restaurants near Medina

“We had a brunch for 16 people at 11am. While they weren't able to hold seating/make reservations; they were able to make it a very short waiting time. Page and the serving crew were amazing! We had no waiting time on ordering and our server was professional and speedy. They kept the drinks coming and we had someone in our party with a lot of special food needs and they were wonderful! First place we've been to where my husband could eat an entire meal to his fill. The food was delicious! No one in the entire party had a single complaint! Wonderful blueberry rice sausages, eggs, pancakes, taco salad, hot tea, coffee, French toast, hashbrowns, English muffins, toast, and more! The decor is adorable! We're so lucky to have found this little cafe as we're from all around the US here for a wedding. It seems to be a local favorite as it was packed! Younger generations and older and everywhere in between! THE go to place if you live in the area or if you're just visiting! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for helping make our visit so wonderful! 10 STARS!“

“Friends who live in the area took me out for dinner at Roberts. I selected a starter for my meal as I wasn't that hungry. Ordered the quesadillas. They were dine but I was perplexed with the sides of lettuce, tomatoes, etc...that more like salad components. They certainly couldn't be added to the quesadillas easily. I asked for some ranch dressing and made a side salad. Some tortilla chips and or some frioles would have been a better accompaniment. Sam, our server was an absolute delight. Give that young man a raise. Atmosphere was quiet and we could converse easily.“

“We hosted our daughter’s ceremony in Medina Entertainment center, and the service and coordination were exceptional. Everything was perfectly planned and executed just as we had requested. The ceremony went smoothly, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The event coordinator Christy, bar server, and food server all did an outstanding job. I would definitely plan my next event here again. Thank you“

“We took an after work boat cruise. Wonderful food was set out buffet style and there was a bar for the thirsty ones. We had a great time seeing people we work with outside of the shop. Glad I brought a jacket as when the sun dipped, it got chilly. Parking was a little sticky but we got on the boat on time!“

“This is one of our favorite places, we make sure to come every month for the bloody of the month. Today I had the breakfast tacos and old fashion, amazing food and drinks. Our waitress was fantastic super nice and conversational we’ll be lifetime customers. Mags our waitress was amazing - promote ahead of peers give her annual bonus. ✨“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“Best date I’ve ever had!!!!! If wasn’t for my date, the experience would’nt have been so good.“

“Food is very tasty and price could be more reasonable, staff is wonderful“

“Great experience tonight at Zupas. Always get great service, especially at the Draper Zupas. Jon runs a tight ship and it is always clean and the staff ( Alyssa, Maya, Marilu, Kami, Brynn) 5 Star. Let’s go“

“My friends, family and I visit the River Inn often. We just visited it again Labor Day Weekend 2026. Once again, we were impressed. They present great food, the Staff is friendly and helpful and, it looks like they have expanded/remodeled. I like their outdoor serving facilities and waiting courts. It's awesome and ingeniouse!“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Our two visits to Layline have both been excellent. Enthusiastic servers and terrific food. Our favorite menu item has been the Watermelon salad. We had it on both visits and it was extraordinary both times.
We've enjoyed the Bywater Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Pork Chop and the Sea Bass. All were terrific. Duck fat fries also fantastic. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“The turkey cranberry sandwich and chicken salad was very good. Three of us shared them and had leftovers. We were there at lunchtime, so it was very busy. They were yellow jackets wasps keeping us on edge. The waiters were very helpful.“

“Awesome place to grab a bite to eat on the lake. The Wharf just git renovated and it looks awesome! Fantastic place for the whole family“

“The lobster roll was fantastic and definitely the highlight of the meal. The oysters on the other hand weren’t as good as I’d hoped. The truffle oil fries were delicious! It was raining when we went, so we didn’t get to sit on the patio, but I’d love to come back and check it out another time.“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“Disclosure: I have a kiddo that works here. Haven’t reviewed bc of that.

Exception follows! Thank you Culver’s for providing thee only thing my kiddo can eat post wisdom teeth extraction.

Your CUSTARD has been a lifesaver. Will be back for more on Day 2.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“We had a lovely brunch experience today. While the food and drinks were wonderful, our visit was GREATLY enhanced by the AMAZING service we received from Colin. What a gem of a young man you have!“

“Romeo would like to thank this Culver’s for making him his very last gigantic vanilla Sunday this morning 02/10/2022 at 10:00 am! He had half now and will have the other half before it’s time to say goodbye! Only the best for the very best dog✨ 💖💟 Thank you Culver’s employees for making his morning tasty.“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“Can’t wait to go back for great food and service“

“The best French Onion Soup in the Twin Cities is at The Sunshine Factory.“

“Great Irish/American comfort food on the menu. Irish Rolls were great, Shepherd Pie, and Meatloaf all done so well. Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

“My 1st time there. my favorite was the apple fritter bites. Melts in my mouth. Very good , I will be back.“
