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“

“Great food and staff! Very attentive“

“I have lived in 7 states in my life and this is one of my the best restaurants I’ve ever been too. Consistently the best Walleye in the world and the ambiance for a fisherman/hunter like myself is top notch. The most underrated restaurant in Saint Louis. If I was on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal I would say “TAKE ME TO YELLOWSTONE CAFE PLEASE”.“

“Young's is the place to get Fried Chicken!! Always fresh and perfectly seasoned, not greasy and with a lite crispy coating. All of their food is cooked to order and delicious. If you have not been there, you are missing out on a great experience!!!!“

Food is honestly, large portions, and large variety. Service was fast and friendly. Price was good. There's even a route 66 state park nearby.“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“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.“

“First time guests to this restaurant. 2 weeks ago we decided to try it and were extremely pleased!!! Ordered the wings and 3 different salads. The food was great ? and the price was very reasonable! Definitely plan on going back.“

“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!“

“I have gone to this location many times and it’s always good, but every time Emily is helping me out it’s amazing! She is so bubbly and kind And makes going to that location a Joy! She better be making good money and if not give that girl a raise!!!!“

“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...“

“Our local Irish pub has become our go-to place for comfort, good food, and genuinely kind people. The owners go above and beyond, the staff treats you like old friends, and the food is always incredible. You can feel the heart in this place every time you walk through the door. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Amazing food! Great, friendly service. Ample portion sizes, definitely won’t leave hungry“

“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.“

“Awesome food!! Best in west county!“

“The BBQ ribs were amazing! The baked beans are just enough smoke!“

“From start to finish, our experience at Veritas was nothing short of exceptional. The planning process was seamless—responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely collaborative. 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 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!“

“Don’t worry about new places popping up claiming to do what you do! You do it better! Still the best donuts in St. Louis bar none! Keep it up!“

“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“

“A hidden Gem. Great folks always Absolutely the best drink prices“

“We had not been here in a little while (couple years) so decided to stop in. It's a pretty popular spot and has a regular following so it was busy. It was a Saturday evening at prime dinner time so that was to be expected. Fortunately there was an open table for the two of us so we had no wait. Our waitress, Kasey, was excellent! We didn't feel the least bit rushed but our appetizer was out very quickly and soon after our entrees. Dishes were cleared as they came empty by any waitress or server that happened past the table. We got a burger & fries and the fish dinner with a side Ceasar salad. Everything was prepared perfectly and delivered fresh and hot.
The noise level was commensurate with a bar/restaurant which should be expected when dining at a bar/restaurant.
The menu offers plenty of options at reasonable prices and the bar can satisfy the full gamut of request.
In summary - I recommend Trueman's Place to anybody looking for a good dinner, light apps and/or drinks with friends.“

“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!!“

“We went on a Sunday afternoon 4 adults 1 2 yr old that didn't want to sit still. Brandy M. Was our waitress she was awesome. I had lost my voice and she listened without me having to talk she was also very good with the little one, gave her stickers and a high five for eating so well.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great family atmosphere, good food.“

“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.“

“It was nice, it was crowded to play Golf. But I just looked at and watched everybody else. The lines were moving fast, but I waited until a lot of people left to play. But then I had a great experience with the person I was with in.It went by fast though.“

“I had three bad experiences at global quesadilla on 141 and Clayton The first time I went in there they told me they don't accept cash. the second time I went in I got a quesadilla, some chips, and queso. the queso tasted awful. it tasted like warmed up canned cheese or something. I'd buy at the gas station but not the hot stuff in the dispenser that tasted better. And to be honest, there's nothing special about the quesadillas for the ingredients that go into it, the amount of time it takes to make and what they're charging for it. I find it ridiculous. if it's not going to taste good it should be cheap. at that point I'd rather make them at home. my third bad experience is a as a doordasher. after confirming the name of my customer, I proceeded to include my business card. global quesadilla doesn't own that food. that food was paid for by my customer. they have no right to tell me I can't put a business card with the food. the employee proceeds to yell at me multiple times to hand the food back to which I responded no twice and started walking out of the store. he proceeded to follow me out of the store continuing to yell at me and I had to tell him multiple times to back up/go inside / leave me alone. and if he touched me there's going to be a problem I shouldn't be in fear for my physical safety going into any establishment. they were also rude and unprofessional the first day I went in trying to pay with cash. how they've handled themselves multiple times is completely unacceptable. there's a reason why I only ate the food once. if I want Mexican food I'll make it myself or go to Taco Bell or a sit-down Mexican restaurant.“
