American Restaurants near Defiance

“Beautiful place for lunch and food was delicious. We got there early and it was already packed, after an hour of being opened. The view was nice, it was a little chilly so the server Gina got us a table inside. Our server Maddie was outstanding and so friendly with our party. My friends from London were really impressed with her style and charm as well. Prices were very reasonable for bottle of wine and glass of wine too. Food was hot and scumptous too. Definitely recommend this place to have a nice time out of the city.“

“Stopped for a quick and enjoyed it“

“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!“

“Great food every time! Friendly service. Small neighborhood place that's very well run. The owners grew up in the restaurant business and are the niece and nephew of Al Baker, the famous Clayton restaurateur from 1960's-1994. They get amazing specials in like Chilean Sea Bass and south African lobster tails. Fair prices too.......

Just visited again today and great as always. Come here every time I'm in St. Louis.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“5 star food and service!!“

“We always enjoy stopping for a bite at Big Chiefs. The patio is especially nice and would be even better if they would turn off the fans at night when it's cooler! It is a rustic place but the food is always good and they have some unique dishes, if you are tired of the same old bar food.“

“I held a seminar event on a Tuesday evening and Chrissy was a terrific planning resource for me from concept to implementation. Communication was excellent. Upon arrival the room was ready, the staff was all very pleasant and welcoming. Jordan took care of us during the event and was always there when we needed her. The food was incredible. She even helped me by boxing up leftover brownies and cookies for the attendees to take home so I wouldn't have to! I will be back again for date nights and more seminar events!“

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

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

“Awesome spot! The homemade Caesar dressing is on point! Service is great, food is great! There’s not a lot of scratch Kitchens anymore, It’s almost like who can cook sysco food the best, But this place hand breads chicken, cuts their steaks, make dressings from scratch, I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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