American Restaurants near Defiance

“Absolutely amazing 😍. Definitely come on the weekends. It's great for a girl's weekend. My friend and I did the wine tasting first. All amazing staff, great views, and vibes. Did I mention the food!? The wings and the frisco melt are definitely must haves. Also there was live music. Our server was Andrew. Ask for him for an amazing experience and to be treated like top tier with great service and low wait times.“

“4 friends went for lunch today and I got the same thing I always get, Penne with grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, mushrooms and garlic because it is amazing. But today, there were no artichoke hearts in it. It was still delicious, but when you are paying $14+ for lunch, your dish should have everything it advertises on the menu!“

“Thoroughly impressed with the teamwork going on at Culver’s in Eureka, Illinois. We dropped in with 20 guests and served quick with many smiles. Manager has and is running a good crew. Bravo. Thanks again!“

“What a great place cheap drinks great food and fantastic bartenders what's not to love. I will suggest this venue to any family or guys or girls for a night on the town.“

“We stopped in during the Christmas Candlelight walk. We were not fortunate to know in advance so we did not have dinner, however, the staff was incredible. The ambiance was awesome and we can't wait to go back this spring to enjoy dinner outside!“

“We visit atleast once a week ! Love it. Food atmosphere and staff are A number 1“

“5 star food and service!!“

“Cute little restaurant and bar. Met a friend for lunch. I ordered the BLC Salad. They mix the ranch dressing into the salad which was a nice plus. The salad was huge which was another huge plus. I like when the sliced egg and chicken are warm when the rest of the salad ingredients are cold. Fresh ingredients and very flavorful. The vibe of this restaurant felt like a neighborhood bar like Cheers. Very good service.“

“always great so many choices great service“

“Matt, Dede, Lisa and all team at Die Wasserstelle are absolutely amazing!!! Their hospitality is outstanding! From the moment you walk in the door till you leave. Food, service, ambiance is superb! Thank you Matt for hosting us for our Christmas celebration and creating such a holiday wonderland of lights and decor! Grateful for you all! Great place to eat a meal for any time of day!“

“Its out first time in this area and we decided to give this place a try. Staff was super friendly all smiles as we walked in. I believe our waitresses name was Ava and she was probably one of the nicest waitresses I've had at a restaurant in a while. It was the first time we had seen fried green beads on a menu so we had to try them, not bad but probably wouldn't order again over many of the other options they have. However everything else we had was great and don't pass on dessert because Ava sold us on some chocolate cake and I'm definitely not mad at her for it. We will be back if we are ever in the area again.“

“This place is cute and friendly! The sloppy nachos were amazing. We will be back to sample more of the menu!“

“My favorite place for a burger in West County. Beer is cold and staff is friendly. Good healthy options if you’re into that kind of thing. Golf simulators, but remember to make a “tee time” which is easy to do via their website.“

“food was okay nothing special but we wont go back. 51.00 for 4 people burger & fries with 2 drinks. we waited at least 20 minutes & when I checked the bag, I asked Where are the cheese curds And they said they weren't on the order but i definitely ordered them so they said Do you want us to drop some in But as much as I spent , and as long as I waited , they wanted me to pay for those too , and I said , no , just forget it.“

“Wow!! Omg! Hats off to the chef and the wonderfully kind and attentive staff. Their pasta was al dente and so lusciously creamy. Their pork porterhouse...thick and cooked perfectly with an amazing seasoned sauce. Those accompanying carrots with their sweet glaze...out of this world. The meatball appetizer was seasoned so well and accompanied with a crisp delicious beer bread. My Manhattan...perfect, strong. Dessert was huge (caramel bacon brownie) and that caramel was sinful. So glad we discovered this gem. Try them out!!! You will not regret it. Thank you so much Lori, Devin and Hannah... and we will be back.“

“Their eggs, bacon and iced coffee are the best we've had! Highly recommended!“

“Good burgers my kids favorite👍🏼😍keep up the good work guys👍🏼“

“As an employee I may be biased however I would recommend this restaurant as both a great place to eat and work. The people make it a great place to work and the slow roasted beef make it hands down, the best roast beef around. with just a touch of seasoning salt it’s great as is or add some au jus and horseradish to complete it.“

“I highly recommend the breakfast buffet. It was so good we had it twice during our stay. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. We also had dinner there as well. Great portion sizes. Pretty good too, just a bit overpriced for dinner. However, one kid’s meal per adult was free so that helped. They were out of the steak that was on sale so we paid for the other steak meal. It was good, but not great for the price.The service we received from all 3 waitresses (Kameron, Nancy, and a young blonde lady) was wonderful. They were all very kind and didn’t rush us. Everyone there was nice. It’s a rare find when every person has great customer service so I definitely appreciate that. If we ever come back to town, we will most definitely stop in there again.“

“Love Town Square Pub! Food, service and atmosphere. Only thing is, it's pretty loud with music playing and tv's going this makes it hard to have a conversation and being able to hear who your talking with. Other than that, everything else is great!“

“I brought a group of 10 on Thursday. We had a great waitress, who did a great job. The food was great as it always is.“

“We love eating at Bristol! We go every Sunday and love visiting with our bartender, Jess! She’s the best!“

“They won best restaurant of 2023 for a reason. This place is absolutely insane and less people should sleep on it.“

“Food was good, service was good. Music was really loud and not what I consider relaxing dinner music. I decided I wanted a piece of cheesecake to go after she gave us the receipt in the folder and she never came back for me to tell her. I asked another server who directed me to the bar. Ordered and it took ten minutes to get it. Normally I wouldn’t mind but we had my MIL with us in her wheelchair. It came and was the Tiniest piece of cheesecake I’ve ever been served for $10 😳. I would recommend skipping dessert and go buy a whole cheesecake at Dierbergs next door for the same price and less wait.“

“We had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner at Mellow Mushroom and boy, did we choose a great place! They had us all set up for 25 people beautifully when we arrived and was quickly introduced to our amazing server, Katie. Between her and her crew of helpers (for lack of a better word), we were taken care of so well. Tara, the bartender also tended to us with quick and excellent service. The general manager Ahmad checked on us several times to be sure we were happy and everyone was taken care of. Food and drinks were quickly and deliciously served and enjoyed. The atmosphere is so fun and upbeat. I don’t think we had one problem (except us being 7 minutes late - so sorry about that!!). We go to Mellow Mushroom as a couple and a family and now we can add as a wedding party and extended family. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“We hosted our 25-year High School reunion at Barrels Taphouse & Grill, and it could not have gone better! The atmosphere was perfect — fun, relaxed, and spacious enough for everyone to mingle and reconnect. A huge shoutout to our amazing servers, Lauren and Abby, who went above and beyond all night! They kept everything running smoothly, handled our big crowd with total professionalism, and made sure no one’s glass was ever empty. And a special thank-you to Anne, for being so accommodating and easy to work with from the very start. Her support and hospitality made planning the event effortless. If you’re looking for a great place to host an event — or just grab some great food and drinks — Barrels Taphouse & Grill is the place to go!“

“Big thanks to Bemos for giving my Mom a wonderful 90th birthday party! Special mention to Colton who helped us put up the higher decor and helped get the room ready for the party. Shay our waitress was the best and catered to our orders efficiently and promptly with a sweet smile. We really appreciate your service and delicious food to make my Moms event special! ☺️❤️🎂👍“

“The food was awesome- tried the voodoo wings, voodoo chicken wrap, chicken tenders and fries and boneless wings- all were great! The pub is clean and tastefully decorated. The owner, Suzanne, work’s incredibly hard to provide a top quality dining experience! Highly recommend“

“The food is great,Staff is friendly“

“This is the second year we received a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and we thank you. Al & Mary Anne Hagedorn 511 Summer Winds Lane. St. Peters MO 63376.“

“We’ve been here twice and both times service and food were excellent. May be my new favorite restaurant in this area. Highly recommend!“

“We ate their last night for dinner for the very first time. I must say the food was really good but, our appetizer came out which was the spicy Mac & cheese bites, they were good but cold in the center. I let the waitress know and she apologized. She took them back and bought a freshly made order and they were steaming hot and excellent! I got the double smash burger, which was really good, but it was cooked more like a regular hamburger because on a Smashburger the edges are crispy which adds to the flavor. My hamburger SB edges, even though it was a really good burger! I I would still recommend eating here because the food is really good and the service is excellent! I get it some days,there are off days and maybe that’s what happened. But we will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely amazing! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was calm with little shops to go to. The mushroom swiss burger was amazing, though it could use a touch more seasoning. The cookie butter pie was also delicious! I look forward to going back and hopefully bringing some friends with.“

“I hosted a bridal shower at The Old Barn Inn and it did not disappoint. The staff was excellent and helpful and Rachel the event coordinator went above and beyond and even met me before the event to set up. Chef did an excellent job on our brunch. We had many, many compliments on the meal, it was delicious.
Some of the ladies said the venue made them feel like they were in England in a scene of Bridgerton, absolutely delightful!!
Worth the short 10 minutes drive from Wildwood.“

“The rudest manager I have ever met. the restaurant was only about 30% full and the hostess would not seat us at the table we wanted to sit at, even though 70% of the tables were empty. I asked her to ask the manager, and we still couldn't sit at the table we wanted. So, we decided to leave. On the way out, I stopped at the hostess desk and very politely asked her to pass along to the manager why we were leaving so that he would be aware because if I were manager, I would want to know why my customers left before ordering.. The manager came up behind me while I was telling her that and interrupted me saying to stop talking because he was aware of my opinion. He went on to say that he had been doing this for a long time and knows what he is doing. When I started to respond, he interrupted me again shouting "Stop talking!" and then, "Just leave!" I had made my request for the table very politely and was also very politely asking the hostess to let him know that we were leaving for that reason. To be interrupted twice and yelled at and told to stop talking and just leave in the manor he did so was outrageous behavior verging on threatening. I will never return and will encourage all the groups I routinely go to sports bars with to never return. If you are going to a sports bar to watch your favorite teams, this is definitely NOT the place to go. You will likely not be able to watch the teams you like and will get yelled at if you try. Customer service is definitely not something this place values.“

“Poor Richards is a great family restaurant with many food options. The wings are the best in the St. Louis area, hands down. The wait and bar staff and courteous, friendly, and very attentive. Pricing is competitive and there’s an arcade area for the little ones.“

“We had my family and friends there in the side room that you can reserve . My son is home from the Army for Christmas! The Post was nothing but amazing to us !! The server , Marissa was absolutely phenomenal! We never wanted for anything , food was all correct, and she was always above and beyond sweet ! And we had like 30 or so people ! Thank you so much for taking care of us and making our special night even better !!! We will definitely be back !!!“

“Foreplay is always good, everything else was TRASH. Awful service from a completely clueless server. Waited an hour and a half with no food or drink and ended up canceling the order. She didn't even care about the issues either. No "sorry I'm terrible at my job." Nothing. Her name was "Kerrie" and you should avoid her. Was told there was no manager on duty on a Saturday night so that's cool too. Three other bartenders seemed uninterested in helping too. Won't go back and I'll tell everyone else the same thing. I would like to shout out to the door guy. He at least provided some customer service when I had an issue“

“Last night my husband and I had some of our grandsons over for dinner and movie night. Too hot to cook on the grill so we opted out to get Red Robin burgers and fries. In Dardenne Prairie. Ordered a curbside pick up but when we got there they didn’t show the order. Not a problem because within minutes the manager, Andrea made sure our order went in quick and even added extra salad and fries too! Andrea, you couldn’t have made a glitch turn out any better! We thank you so much for making our evening awesome! 👏🏻👍🏻. Of course, we will be back!“

“I love this place! The staff, service and food are great. They have the BEST Waffles I’ve ever had! We will be going back, soon!“

“We made a large order recently and forgot to get the sauces for the meats and went back to the Winghaven location and they gave us very generous amounts of sauce at no charge. Thanks again for a great customer service and great food. We’ll definitely be back .“

“An awesome place to go and relax with friends. We were lucky enough to be taken care of by Cassie. She was very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. The wings are great.“

“I ate in Dothan, Alabama today (Freddy's is new to Dothan) & I was really impressed. I was in a hurry so I ate in my vehicle. I got the basic double burger, fries, & drink. And OH MY WORD it was delicious AND the service was excellent! I'll be back & look forward to trying a shake next time.“

“we went with our 12 year old grandson for an after school snack. We did not hear our number called/so after a few minutes I went to the counter. A very nice young man said he was going to remake it because it had sat and gotten cold. He had called our # twice...I didn't get his name (he had green hair under his hat if that helps!)...I did not ask for a new burger/he did that on his own. Thank You....grandson loves Freddy's burgers and shakes!“

“Super nice crew, the gentleman (owner?) who helped me was super nice, welcomed me in and had a laugh about sports. Food was tasty, fresh, and hot, per usual.

The other times I come in as a dasher I’m always greeted promptly.

Great location, friendly people.“
