50 Best American Restaurants near Barnhart

“I've been going here since I was a little kid and their food is still unmatched. Old timey, diner-style restaurant with friendly service, to-die-for ice cream, and plenty of lovely memories. Also has great pricing and a claw machine I've won two stuffed animals from, which is in my opinion a good record. Highly reccommend mozzarella sticks, fries, and waffle cone sundae (mint chip is superior).“

“Had a great time. Our meals were great. Two of us had pancakes with strawberries. One had the Old Timers and the other had new Cinnamon rolls skillet. That skillet was amazing. Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed.“

“Went for dinner for the FIRST time tonight with 4 kids and 2 adults. First off, you could tell a lot of the ingredients is fresh. We split the fajita fries and l had the house burger with the CE sauce (it’s a different name on the menu). I tried a bite of the kids mac & cheese as well. Everything was phenomenal & we topped it off with ice cream and shakes. These were extremely affordable, I was shocked at how low those prices were. Lastly, our waitress Heidi was impeccable. She continually checked on us, we always had full drinks and she repeated our order. Kudos to her. A+ experience and will be back! 10/10“

“Our visit in arnold was great. I didn't remember to take pictures until halfway through our meal. We had no wait to be seated. Our waitress was great, very attentive to the right amount. We always enjoy eating at Applebee's!
The atmosphere is always relaxed. You can tell they are working with an older restaurant, but it's pretty clean every time we've visited.
The last few times, they haven't had Cucumber for the Salads which is a downside for me but it wont keep me from coming back.“

“This is the worst restaurant around, I can’t believe they are still open. The service is horrible.“

“Varied experience with food. 3/4 of our party enjoyed our food. Ham sliders were good, slaw was able to be put on the side, though it was clear maraschino cherries were involved in the glaze and jalapeños were involved in the jam (not disclosed). The french dip was good, as were the fries, mac and cheese, and goat cheese appetizer. The pork porterhouse was just about the saltiest meal I have ever tasted. It tasted like it was brined, seasoned, and serves with salt while also being cooked on a salt block. It made it hardly edible and contaminated the mashed potatoes and carrots that were paired with it, making it difficult to enjoy the sides. The server took a European waiting style, slow and steady. Taking time to approach us, which we did not mind as much, though other tables seemed to get better attention. All staff were kind and helpful. Parking is a little tight. Overall a decent experience, despite the high price point, which overall does not match the aesthetics of the bistro style interior or the casual uniform of staff.“

“We went there for the first time this week. Definately A+ food and sevice. We will be going back.“

“This is five star, forgot to change it on my previous review“

“Always good, friendly service“

“The meals and service at Frankie Gs are always top notch and today was no exception. Me friend ordered the reuben sandwich and commented how good the marbled rye bread was as well as the flavor of the corned beef. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and asked the kitchen to add jalapenos. The wrap came out as ordered and was delicious. One negative: It was a cold day and supplies were being delivered through the back door. Everytime the back door opened freezing air blasted into the dining area. It might be helpful to put an intermediate door on the back hallway that could be closed during deliveries.“

“1st time there, had the buffalo chicken salad. it was awesome. the atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly, very clean everywhere. service was excellent! Great job!A+++++“

“We always have great food and great service!“

“This is such a great place to hang out with friends. Great food and friendly service. We always enjoy karaoke on Friday nights with Beth the KJ. Love that it’s non smoking!“

“2nd time here while passing through with a crew I oversee and thought I'd buy them lunch. Had the steak sandwich again it's once again. delicious. Same chef as last time. Waitress, girl with black pigtails, sorry (forgot your name) was friendly and attentive.

Might be known as a biker bar but delivers in other areas.“

“My favorite place to grab a bite to eat or drink after my Mt. Bike ride at Cliff Cave .“

“The steak chef crushes it every time!“

“Great pinball bar!! The selection of pinball games is excellent. Bartender was a little to boisterous, but still nice. We went on a Saturday night, it was dead... let me tell you why. Karaoke, and it was HORRIBLE. Not that having karaoke is horrible, it's the few people that were there that couldn't sing. You could tell it was a few regulars and that's what is keeping more people from coming. We left because it was so bad. Will definitely be back though when no karaoke is going on“

“We ordered a deluxe pizza and it was by far the best pizza I have ever eaten. You could taste the quality in every ingredient. The only bad thing is... I am now ruined for eating only your pizza ?.“

It was a full house , our waitress Grace was busting butt and still gave us great service. The staff was really nice.
