50 Best American Restaurants near Eureka

“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!“

“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 love Chicks! I love working and helping out here as well! My favs are there fries with cheese and their biscuits and gravy! I love the staff and owners!“

“Bangers and mash are excellent. Fish and chips are good. Seating can be a bit tight. Service is good, but not great. It’s a small place so usually one or two servers working. They work very very hard, but it’s hard to get their attention because they’re so busy.“

“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.“

“Great experience Good atmosphere and friendly staff“

“Bone in chicken, chicken strips, smash burgers, ice cream“

“Great food and staff! Very attentive“

“This is where I always meet my grandson for lunch. We love the walleye platter. The breading is very light, and the portion is generous, allowing you to eat every bit of it. The sides are delicious, too. We love the atmosphere, service, prices, and portions. \nI've taken several friends there for lunch, and they are happy to meet me there again anytime. My grandson is an accomplished fisherman, and that makes our experience all the more enjoyable. We love the fish offerings, but the menu is extensive. We highly recommend and enjoy Yellowstone Cafe.“

“We eat there about once a week, very good service decent prices.“

“Do not let the exterior deceive you! Clean and nice inside. Food was very good! The main entrance is through the patio on the back, but if you use the front door you just walk through to the host station on the other side. Not too far from Six Flags so when we got rained out, we went there for lunch and to escape the rain.“

“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.“

“I've tried 'em all, and love 'em all. The Shack. Spencer's. Courtesy Diner. Each a can't miss.
But it doesn't get any better than Slingers. They KILL omelets and hash browns and biscuits & gravy and pancakes. ALL the breakfast faves. And it's a pretty drive 15 min south of Eureka. One of the pluses for me.
Pssst... if you order coffee, THEY LEAVE A THERMAL POT ON YOUR TABLE!“

“The Hay Market is within the Holiday Inn at Six Flags and is within a historical dairy barn that was converted many years ago...

Through out the years we have dined here off and on... on Thanksgiving Day they offered a holiday themed buffet... which was delicious...

Melissa was our waitress that day... she was attentive and stopped by to make sure we we not in need of anything... everyone was kind and wonderful...

We will definitely eat there again...“

“Always great, no matter what I get! 🤤“

“I have been to the restaurant a couple of times and had good experiences. I have even ordered food on UberEats and it was good until today. I ordered the prime sandwich and it is always awesome! The side however was ridiculous. French fries do not travel well and the other sides didn’t sound good so I got the fruit. It was a half of a strawberry, 2 pitiful pieces of pineapple, a blackberry and an orange slice cut up. It was child size portion. I called because I thought it was a mistake. I talked to the GM and he agreed that it was small but that’s the right size because he packed it up. I was shocked that was acceptable to them. I recommend the sandwich, just don’t get the side of fruit.“

“We stopped by today and had the rueben appetizers and the meat pizza. WOW..If you have never been I suggest trying it. AMAZING!!! The patio is dog friendly which for us is a huge plus!“

“Really great food, cold beer and a barmaid named Jordan that made me feel right at home. Thank you Jordan! Maybe see you on Saturday or Wednesday. Danny“

On the day of our event, the execution was flawless. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—our guests are still talking about it. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and effortlessly elegant, creating the perfect backdrop for a truly special evening. To the entire Veritas team: thank you. Thank you for welcoming us so graciously into your space and for providing an experience my family will never forget. You exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful.“

“We usually stop at this location when passing through the area a couple of times a year. The food is always very good and this time didn't disappoint!

It was Memorial Day and we knew it would be busy. The servers were all working hard to keep customers happy. Our server was on top of everything!

We will definitely be back!“

“While I'll still recommend it...I did go to the Twin Oaks location tonight and they had taken the adult grilled cheese with tomato soup off the menu. 😢😢😢 I just had it there a few weeks ago. They had also taken the zucchini appetizer off the menu. Everything I went there to order is not completely off the menu. And there isn't a suitable substitute. I hope you'll consider bringing those back.“

“Amazing service and really good food! Thank you so much!“

“Great very clean place to have a drink, catch a game or have some delicious food. They have happy hour specials, full bar and are kid friendly . Burgers are seasoned well and grilled to your liking and your choice of toppings, fries were crispy and onion ring were crispy and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive and I will be back again.“

“My whole family loves HBH. We get both ham and turkey every Tday and sometimes Christmas too. We get all the sides and graze on them for days! Great taste, selection and service! My 16 year old twin sons eat it up!“

“The food was delicious! Our server was Carol and she was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive, cheerful, fun and organized!! I will definitely return the next time I'm in town!! Definitely a 10/10 experience!“

“I had lunch there yesterday with a friend and had the pleasure of having Peyton for our waitress. She was so kind and charming. The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant itself was clean and cozy.. highly recommend the Brussels and belly appetizer and the salmon power bowl. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! I cannot wait to go back!!“

“Best Bar around..everyone's like family. All holidays are like a family get together. Prices are great. Pet friendly and always doing fun things, poker runs, trivia, karaoke, blues, chili cook offs and fund raisers, Nick is one of a kind owner.“

“My husband and I just went here for lunch today, and it was awesome. The food was great, and our waitress was top notch. Keep up the great work. We can’t wait to come back.“

“My wife and I had lunch there. reasonably priced, food was excellent, great atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome. Thanks Brynne for taking care of us.“

“I was greeted at the door by a wonderfully friendly and pleasant person who seemed to genuinely care about finding me something for lunch that I would enjoy. He gave me some excellent options and helped walk me through the menu as this was my first visit. The deli itself was quiet, pleasant, and clean. You can tell that they really care about their business and their customers. My wrap was fantastic and I cannot wait to go in and start trying many of the other numerous options on their menu.“

“We went in there to get the special advertised on Facebook. That advertisement shows a photograph of a large hamburger, french fries and a drink. The ad states specials are available from $10.99.
When we went in, the staff indicated that they were not aware of any such special.
In fairness, that advertisement does not state the specific meal in the photograph is available for that particular price, but it is certainly misleading to advertise like this.

Naturally, we turned on our heels and walked out. This is not a way to build trust.“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

“Peggs has a great family friendly environment, amazing staff and very delicious pizza and wings! They also host many fun events and have space for parties.“

“Typically I recommend you guys, but whoever was working the meat slicer Dec 19th clearly needs a long enough break to take their prozac. Ive never had a Lion's Choice Roast Beef crumble out the bun entirely when picked up. It was more diced up than Taco Bell Meat.“
