24 Best American Restaurants near Montrose

“The menu offers food that is so much better than your typical bar and grill food. The staff is friendly and attentive. The remodel of the interior is really nice.“

“First timers to Gather, and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town! We had Biscuits and Gravy and eggs, a rhubarb turnover, and a chocolate chip cookie. The biscuits and gravy with two eggs was incredible. We highly recommend! The deserts were off the charts- how do they get their turnovers so flaky??? Gather was a great find!“

“I walked over to The King’s House for lunch while getting my motorcycle tuned up at Davis Motorsports just down the street. I got one of their specials, the taco salad with chicken. It was among the best taco salads I’ve had. I especially enjoyed the burst of flavor from the fresh cherry tomatoes generously embedded in the salad. The shell is clearly home made, as is the unique sauce. The seasoning and herbs on the chicken were also perfect. Everything was very fresh. The presentation was excellent. Their ice tea is clearly brewed fresh too. I went ahead and had a mojito for desert and found it well crafted and refreshing on a July afternoon.

My server was professional and personable.

The place wasn’t very busy at lunch time. But I got the impression their busy time is evenings. Tables are nicely spaced. They have outdoor dining. Ample free parking in their dedicated lot. I enjoyed their playlist as I ate - a diverse mix of mostly alternative soft rock. I was pleased that they didn’t have any distracting TVs in the restaurant.

Everything is accessible to wheelchairs.

Kid-friendliness: Wooden tables and chairs, concrete floor - nothing fancy about the space - but everything is clean and comfortable. It would be an welcoming place to bring the whole family.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything, including the outdoor eating area, is on street level. No stairs.“

“Great staff and good food“

“We were just passing through town, getting a little hungry, and we saw this place with a bunch of motorcycles out front. (We know what that means!) We went in, sat at the bar, got served by the owner (Greg, I think). I had chili, the wife had a philly steak sammich. Fantastic! We hung out for a while, watched a little football, and met some of the locals. Great food, fun people, nice place. We'll be back!“

“Amazing place! Great food, great atmosphere, and great service, even down to the table bussers! Everyone there is always so nice & friendly! A+“

“What a great Restaurant! The Brunch was absolutely awesome! So many options. The ribs were fall off the bone. Our Waitress was so sweet and polite! I highly recommend B’s on the River! :)“

“This review is for the Culver's in Buffalo, Mn. off of 55. Everything is wonderful, Great service, Very Clean, Great food. We happen to love the Cod sandwich. Highly recommend 😊“

“There’s something of a paucity of fine dining options in Buffalo, but I remembered that my late father, Charles LeRoy Nelson, Jr, always raved about a restaurant at the Buffalo golf course. So I researched it, and I think he must have been referring to Hilltop Bar & Grill at Wild Marsh Golf Club. So we went there on Friday, May 3rd, 2024 for dinner. I’m happy to report that this restaurant has earned the highly coveted Eric Carlisle Nelson Esteemed Diner Recommendation. My key observations follow:

1. They do not accept reservations. However, we got a table right away when we arrived at 6:10pm on a Friday — albeit the last table available.

2. While it wasn’t what I would call quiet, the noise level was not bad at all. One could carry on a conversation without raising one’s voice.

3. Host and wait staff were excellent, friendly, and attentive.

4. All of our food was very good. Mee Lee had the beef tacos. I got a side salad and BLT with avocado. (See photos). Nothing was especially fancy, but everything was very fresh and well-made and delicious! The food was unpretentious.

5. The prices were amazingly low, given the high quality of the food, and well worth the price. We ended up with a final bill of only $30, plus tip.

6. The bill could have been higher, but we didn’t have any drinks, because they didn’t have whole milk (or any milk) as a beverage option. This is a demerit, but one that is easily remedied. Every restaurant should offer whole milk. Minnesota is a dairy state, and milk complements every meal!

7. I counted six different customers wearing baseball caps while dining. You don’t have to read Emily Post’s Guide to Etiquette to know that men may not wear hats indoors — and especially not while dining. One of them was a faux “Army” hat, which I thought particularly incongruous, given the fact that Army regulations strictly prohibit the wearing of any kind of hat or “cover” indoors. The restaurant would do well to post this as a rule at the front door. (I would, if it were my restaurant). Manners makyth man!

8. One diner barked loudly across the dining room for his waitress, twice. I looked over to see if he had had too many drinks. I’m not sure what his deal was, but he didn’t seem to realize that he was behaving like a Philistine. I can’t fault the restaurant for this, but it is worth noting.“

“Always great place for a drink and good burger!“

“Although they did get my order wrong today. This team works hard! Always friendly. Care about their customers. And if you do have concerns or take your time. They don't rush you. The wrong order we had was so tasty. Best burgers around!“

“We hosted our twins' 2nd Birthday in their side room recently. the staff went above and beyond for us, making sure everyone had drinks, great food, and a clean spot to sit and visit at. They made life easy for celebrating my kiddos. Everyone said their meal was fantastic and thought it was such a great deal to have the kiddos birthday there. We will definitely be doing that again!“

“First time in Buffalo at this tasty mom & pop pizza. Delicious cauliflower and gluten free crust-the freshest ingredients, excellent service! The food was amazing! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We will definitely stop here again.“

“I highly recommend their breakfast. We found this gem of a cafe by chance. They have a full Chinese menu for both lunch/dinner as well. We will definitely be making a trip back. Very friendly staff as well.“

“Such an amazing atmosphere! Love everything about this place. 😍❤️“

“Good burgers and fries. Friendly and efficient waitress. 👍“

“Chef Aiden is the best cook in the world. My food was amazing. Service was amazing and chef Aiden absolutely perfected the dish with love and care. I know his name because I asked my server. I would love to shake his hand because only then will I have been touched by greatness. It may have been the best food my palate has ever come into physical contact with. This experience was truly remarkable and if I could go back in time in a flux capacitor to tell my younger self about this restaurant sooner I truly would. I cannot believe the quality, time, love and care put into the food. Chef Aiden if you are reading this, please know you are remarkable and talented. I don’t even think Gordon Ramsey cooks as good as you. Mill Creek, I will be back. Chef Aiden will go far.“

“I love hanging out at the American Legion. Love the garage door that opens to the outside for that indoor/outdoor feel!“

“We had a large party and got there early to make sure we had enough tables. The staff were wonderful, attentive and helpful, especially with accommodating dietary needs. I accidentally found THE BEST CHEESE CURDS I HAVE EVER HAD! The food was amazing, great burgers, quesadillas, ealleye amd steak. Everyone was happy! Expect us back!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bun available, I chose no bun for my burger. Our server was helpful in making sure we knew what our options were.“

“We went there for Easter brunch. The food was amazing anywhere from breakfast items to prime rib,ham,salad bar,staff were kind and courteous. We would go there again. Everything was wonderful.“

“As usual we had fantastic food! We tried some new app’s and can not wait to try more. Fun fact, my Autistic son loved your pepperoni pizza! He eats very few kinds and the fact that he enjoyed your restaurant was great for me! We can add another place of approved places for him!! The atmosphere is beautiful and fun. Our service was top notch! Always the most important part for me. We will be back!“

“We have found our new go to!!! We are relatively new to this area and we’re so happy to have found you. Our meal was delicious and quite honestly I’m still thinking about the cauliflower appetizer. We most definitely will be back very soon ❤️“

“Applebee’s is known for their Long Island Iced Teas because they often have a well-balanced recipe that combines the right amounts of vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, sour mix, and cola. Plus, their bartenders are trained to make consistent, high-quality cocktails. The atmosphere and the way they serve it also add to the overall experience, making it a favorite for many! I COME FOR THE DRINKS AND STAY FOR THE FOOD!“

“great service! glad we gave them another chance!“
