16 Best American Restaurants in Washington

“We always google locally owned restaurants near me and look at the reviews! Cowan's Restaurant didn't disappoint! We actually went back later in the day for pie! The food and service was fantastic!“

“Great food and drinks, I would hands down recommend this place to everyone! I had the walleye with onion rings, it brought me back to my childhood in ND. It was so delicious tender and flakey, best onion rings, and so much food. I didn’t walk away hungry or feeling gross from the fried food, super light and crispy breading. The barrel aged manhattan was awesome!! 10 out of 10 would eat here again and make sure others come try it too!!!“

“My review is limited to one particular dish - The All-You-Can-Eat Catfish Dinner. Three visits, the staff were always friendly, and the fish was always good. I'm a fan of the hush-puppies... Wonderfully sweet, not the jalapeño mix that has become to popular for its own good. Always seems to be quiet, the staff to customer ratio has always guaranteed a full beverage glass without having to ask ?“

“I had an outstanding experience at Wimpy’s! The food was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and hospitality at this level. Easily a 5 out of 5 stars for me, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice people great food 👍“

“Went here after looking up local diners on google, as I try to support family style restaurants when I travel. Walked in and was greeted right away and told to sit where we wanted. Place was pretty full with locals all chatting across tables like a community of friends. I ordered a “three little piggies” omelette and my friend ordered the chicken fried steak. The meal was on our table in under 10 minutes even though the place was packed. My omelette was stuffed to overflowing with meats and the chicken fried steak was almost the size of the plate. My friend also ordered a cinnamon roll to go. When I say this thing was big, that is an understatement. It was the size of a large to go box. Friendly staff, homelike atmosphere, large portions, nicely priced and very tasty. Overall, a great place to eat! Stop by this place if you’re ever in Washington, MO!!!“

“10/10 this place is great! Next time I come I am trying the bison burger!! The staff were amazing and when I mentioned this was my first time here a lovely host named Diane showed me around the different rooms and all the rustic decor. My waitress was so nice and I tried her recommendation of the bread pudding and it was delicious! This is a great place to host parties or gatherings for events and I was informed there is no room rental fee for their large room where they can also set up a buffet for your guests.“

“Just ordered a couple of Angelo’s. Brought them home and the bread was very hard! Haven’t had this in a while, usually very good but we had to peel most of the bread off.“

“Great night, the best live music and a fantastic bar tender, Mallory! She made the best Father’s Day present a cruise ship Pina Colada! Thanks for the great memories for a Father Daughter night out.“

“We came for kids night on Tuesday and it was the best experience! Friendly staff, great food, and an amazing vibe all around. We will definitely be back for one of their many events!“

“I had a roast beef combo today and a cup of the chicken rice soup. The roast beef was excellent as usual, but that soup was GOURMET quality !! My compliments to the chef!“

“Colton's offers good food at reasonable prices. We ordered steak and the smoked sirloin. The steak was excellent,well prepared, and generous size. I like the new apple coleslaw side dish. We also enjoy the Sante Fe egg roll appetizer.

Parking: Large parking lot, level and easy to access entrance.“

“Excellent service every time we have come in. Love the rustic decor. Good food with some vegetarian options and they carry NA beer, yay! They have a small stage for occasional music and karaoke every Thursday night!“

“dude the food was goooood“

“This location has really made a huge turnaround lately. The food is consistently excellent and fresh. The fries are now made with tallow and it makes a huge difference in taste and quality. The employees are all nice and friendly and it’s clean inside. We have made it our ‘go-to’ spot for dinner!“

“You wake up, drenched in a cold nightmare sweat. You are in Washington Applebee's, and that's where you belong .

This is not your average, everyday Applebee's. This is eating GOOD in what we would call a microcosm of pure NEIGHBORHOOD. No matter HOW many timelines I jump across, this Applebee's is still the exact same. I also love sitting at the bar and shooting spitballs.“
