38 Best American Restaurants in Concord

“I go here frequently. Always good cocktails and food. One of my favorites in the area!“

“I would give anything to live near here! We were on our war to Charlotte for a baby shower and had time to kill when we came across Pump Social. While we didn't get the try their traditional menu (they were hosting their first annual oyster fest) we were sure glad we got a taste of what this place can do! The bratwurst sandwiches were so impressive, we went back for seconds. While we are not locals, the staff did an amazing job making it feel like we lived just up the road. I have already began planning my return to Pump Social.

In all, please give this place a try, and when you do, be sure to send a sandwich my way!

Update: We returned to Pump Social, make a special detour, and are sure glad we did. I honestly don't think there are enough amazing things to say about the food here. I had to update because we absolutely love the potatoes salad side!“

“Drew Was amazing ill be back soon. Try the Benedict“

“I was greeted immediately as I opened the door.
The staff here are so polite and they are very familiar with the menu and I was so excited to try the entrees.

I ordered the seafood combo with flounder and jumbo shrimp and have a side of yams and okra.

So amazing how every bite was flavorful and intense with seasoning that lingered well after I could take another bite.

Totally awesome experience I will rate them a 10 out of 10 but Google only lets you rate one to five.

Keep it up you! Y'all are Awesome Cooks that know how to cook home style food to make people want to keep coming back!“

“My mom and I ate here for the first time today. The prices were great for the amount of food. My mom had the spring salad with chicken and I had the Big Country croissant with sweet potato fries. I will order something else next time because the menu was very enticing.“

“Some of the cashier's have bad attitudes and the Hispanic waitress has a bad attitude she pick and choose who she wants to assist at the table and expects a tip I am big on tipping if the service and food is good. Some days you go and the food is delicious and some days the chicken is salty and dry and not to mention the fish.They need the old cooks and workers back that when the food was delicious. Y'all need to get it together Concord NC.“

“I was looking forward to having a nice birthday dinner, I haven't been to BJ's in awhile, Berry Burst Cider! As I'm ordering it I was told they were out, then I tried to order another cider and they were out of that one as well. That was disappointing. The Appetizers were good, wings and avocado egg rolls. The entrees were good and the pace was perfect. Our server Christian was very good and checked back often. The dessert was delicious.“

“Good food and awesome service.“

“They’re really nice and friendly bartender“

“Wow. My husband comes here about 4 days a week for lunch, and now I see why! Amazing food, huge portions and excellent customer service, CHEAP!! Tons of choices. Just GO! Thank me later ☺️“

“We finished our tour of the track and decided to take the advice of the tour guide and have lunch at the Club the service was excellent, the food was phenomenal and the views were spectacular. We had the club burgers and chicken and waffles. So glad we did this. Aubrey was the best. Thank you.“

“All the way from Virginia Beach, the absolute best RUBY TUESDAY for miles. All the food was fresh and delicious. As a millennial, most of these locations have shut down. This was a blast from the past. Nothing will stop me from traveling from Salisbury all the way to Concord for a good meal. A special shout out to Ms Shannon for running a tight ship during the night shift, and to Jose for such a contagious personality. We will be back!!!“

“We went Saturday for lunch and my meatloaf and mashed potatoes were cold. we asked for biscuits while we were waiting and never received them. And it took 25 minutes to get our food, it was not worth it.“

“We are photographers and tried Johnny's Farmhouse Restaurant after shooting a wedding this evening in Concord. It was an hour before close and our sweet waitress gave us just as much attention as if it was the middle of the day. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. When we received our meals, we were delightfully surprised at the size of the portions. I had the quarter fried chicken and my husband had the maple pork chop. We had squash, roasted baby potatoes, and green beans. We also had cornbread and rolls. Everything was fresh and homemade! We highly recommend Johnny's Farmhouse Restaurant if you are in Concord!“

“The spinach dip is the best! and the manager Caroline is awesome. I really enjoy the atmosphere :) Joe the GM is extremely nice as well.“

“We stayed here two nights while we were visiting Hendrick Motorsport and the NASCAR Hall of fame. It was a nice hotel, nice staff and a great location- especially for what we were there for and there was lot of dining in the area. If we were ever in the area again I would return.“

“Best place in Concord for burgers, salad, Mac n cheese, barbecue and happy people. Great value, healthy and delicious food!“

“Stopped here on my way home to Greensboro from Charlotte. Ordered 2 appetizers (pulled pork egg rolls & tator tots topped w/ their DE-licious beef brisket) and they were good sized portions. The tator tots were my absolute favorite! My new favorite bbq spot!!“

“My daughter won a gift card from the Sarcoma Sucks 5K, so we stopped by the cafe before leaving town. It was the perfect day to enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio. Our food was fantastic and fresh, and the server was kind and attentive! I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Baked chicken is wonderful and turkey and dressing too“

“Had a amazing time, staff was very helpful and polite. We also got a chance to meet and thank the manager for the hospitality giving to my entire family that came. Sarah French, I will never forget that name! She played with the kids, helped staff, cleaning games while showering everyone with love. I am very impressed with her ability to work with short staff. Our food came out faster than we expected due to the number of people we had. But all in all my family is still talking about that night. We will definitely be back... And I encourage all families to go and support her and her awesome staff!! Thank you so much again!“

“Came here for Mad Monster and didn't want to leave to get food so my brother and I ate here. We both got the buffalo wings and they were some of the best wings I've ever had. Not to mention, the fries were *chefs kiss* my only complaint is the prices but it's well worth the money, 10/10 would recommend.“

“This is a chain steakhouse. However the staff is attentive and the food is consistently good. They put lamb chops back on the menu which was excellent. My wife usually has the salmon. It is a consistent favorite for us at least once a month.“

“Tonight, February 21, we had a 60th birthday surprise party for my brother! The staff were so helpful and they went above and beyond to make sure it was a good time. And the food was just delicious. Can't say enough about the Brickhouse Grill!“

“Keith is a wonderful bar tender. I had a lot of questions about the new drinks because I am not a drinker but he was patient with me and didn’t pressure me to decide before I was ready. Brinaye placed my to go order for me and I sat at the bar and had my drink while I waited. The wait was around 20 to 25 minutes but the time flew by because the staff is so friendly. I almost decided to stay and have my lunch there but I was I had an appointment. I will be back though! The host greeted me with a smile when I came in and even opened the door for me I was surprised. When I was leaving everyone said goodbye. You can tell some of the customers come here often because staff greet them by name and ask them how they are doing. They seem genuinely connected to the guest. Nick, who I discovered is the manager greeted guests at their table and asked them how there experience was going. I found that to be very proactive. I will come back for a family dinner or maybe a date. It’s very inviting.“

“the tenders was freshly cooked and fries was aswell“

“I’ve been a loyal “Crabby Tuesday” customer at Full Moon in Concord for years, but the new pricing has made it tough to continue my weekly tradition. The All You Can Eat snow crab legs jumped from $69 to $90—a 30% increase—while the 1 1/2 lbs deal stayed at $45, and the 3 lbs option rose 10%, from $59 to $65. The 1 1/2 lbs deal is $30 per pound, the 3 lbs is $21.67 per pound, and the All You Can Eat (I ate 3 lbs) is $30 per pound. The less you eat, the more it costs per pound, which feels like it punishes lighter eaters. At $90, the crab legs aren’t top-of-the-line; they’re often smaller, not uniform, and harder to crack. I’d pay that if they were premium quality, but they’re not. I get that every batch can’t be perfect due to variables, but I expect more consistency at this price. With crab-stuffed oysters, my check hit $150, plus 18-20% gratuity, totaling $185-$190 after tipping. I can get a steak dinner for $100-$120 or a seafood buffet at the beach for $60 with better value—crab legs there are cracked well, even if it’s a four-hour drive. I didn’t notice the increase until the check—I didn’t check the board since I knew the old prices. That’s on me, but a social media announcement would’ve helped; I saw nothing on their page. Crystal (manager) said tariffs on imported seafood are driving the increase, but it doesn’t add up. If tariffs were the main cause, all crab specials should’ve risen by a similar percentage, not just the All You Can Eat by 30%, while the 1 1/2 lbs deal had no increase and the 3 lbs only went up 10%. Crystal and Darren (server) were the highlights—phenomenal! Crystal’s warmth and professionalism make every visit special; her smile and leadership make Full Moon feel like home. Darren was attentive, friendly, and a joy, keeping everything seamless with a fun energy. They’re outstanding, and the pricing isn’t their fault—they’re gold! The atmosphere is lively with bar-style seating, perfect for a crab feast, but pricing is impacting business—few ordered All You Can Eat this time. Friends at the Jamestown location also stopped ordering crab due to pricing. Maybe host “Crabby Tuesday” every other week? I’ll drop to once a month. 3/5 stars for great service but poor value“

“Friendly and engaging bartenders and waitstaff. Super cool locals in a very laid back setting. Wilmington's best place to watch Eagles football!“

“Delicious Fresh Food! Great Service and clean environment.“

“We finished our tour of the track and decided to take the advice of the tour guide and have lunch at the Club the service was excellent, the food was phenomenal and the views were spectacular. We had the club burgers and chicken and waffles. So glad we did this. Aubrey was the best. Thank you.“

“Good food was so amazing hot fresh definitely recommend friendly people we enjoyed it“

“Great food, and service! Probably the best chicken wings in the area!!! I’d say the only negative is the bathrooms are equal to the worst service station you have ever been in. The smell from people missing the urinal can take your breath!“

“Awesome food, great service. Absolutely love this place!“

“Stopped in to check it out on a whim Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. Live music was fun, staff was absolutely great, and food was delicious. Had the mozzarella and basil pesto panini yum! Had a glass of the Malbec and it was perfect. Loved the atmosphere here and will definitely come back.“

“The Food is good but if I'm paying $15+ for Shrimp and Grits then give more grits at least!! That portion was 1 spoon spread over the plate Geez!! The Mango Peach Bellini was good. And my Server was Great!!“

“I went on opening day (10/16) and the staff did an amazing job handling things. I got the chicken club sandwich and it was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Walked into Waffle House looking like I had just lost a 12 round fight with tequila. Sat down head pounding stomach empty. Then in walks Mr Belvin behind the grill like a culinary superhero with a spatula cape.
He whipped those eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon with the precision of a surgeon and the speed of a NASCAR pit crew. I swear when that plate hit my table, the hangover demons packed their bags and left immediately. By the time I finished, I wasn’t just “okay” — I was REBORN.
If you’re ever down bad, trust me: Mr Belvin will put the life back in your body, one waffle at a time.“

“We went Saturday for lunch and my meatloaf and mashed potatoes were cold. we asked for biscuits while we were waiting and never received them. And it took 25 minutes to get our food, it was not worth it.“
