50 Best American Restaurants near Fletcher

“We came in for a late lunch/early dinner on Easter Sunday. Business was a little steady. Apparently they were having a waitstaff shortage, due to they only had one waitress covering a lot of tables. I think her name was Krista and she handled serving all these tables by herself with accuracy, friendliness & professionalism. Our meals were all very good. Thank you Krista for the great service.🙂“

“The Sierra Nevada brewery is awesome! First off the facility is absolutely fantastic. It’s large but the building and the entire campus are immaculately clean & well kept. It still looks brand new. The tour itself was excellent providing great historical content & insight into their state of the art current operations. Following up the tour with a visit to the Taproom restaurant is a must. The food is phenomenal & the service is top notch. Finally, it was so enjoyable to finish the day with a beer on the patio. I give the Sierra Nevada brewery tour & Taproom my highest recommendation. Can’t wait to take other friends for a visit.“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“I had the pleasure of getting to visit the Blue Sky food truck today at The Blueridge Beer Garden. Firstly, the service *chefs kiss* It looked like it was just one man doing it all and he was just killing it on all sides. I got the burger with cheese and a side of onion rings, and he even threw in some fries because he felt like the onion ring amount wasnt up to his standards (I came in towards the end and got the last order) which is something I commend on the chef for doing. Everything I ate was phenomenal! 100% will recommend to anyone wanting quality, quantity, and just good ole kindness in there life.“

“You know how sometimes you go out to eat and it just feels… routine? This wasn’t that. Christopher completely changed the experience. He didn’t just “check on us” — he actually connected with us. The kind of server who remembers you’re there, not just your order. He joked with us, kept things light, and made it feel like we were regulars even though we weren’t. What stood out most was how natural it all felt. Nothing forced, nothing scripted — just genuine, down-to-earth service that you don’t see much anymore. He was attentive without hovering, friendly without being over the top, and just real. The food was great, but honestly, Christopher is the reason we’ll be back. That kind of personality turns a meal into an experience. Give that man some recognition — he’s doing it right.“

“My sweet friend and neighbor took me to Tooley’s for lunch for my birthday today. We were greeted at the door with a smile and had a very pleasant waitress. The sandwiches we ordered were delicious. The homemade desserts were even better! Will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely birthday lunch!🥳“

“Michael was our server and he was truly amazing!! The atmosphere was so cozy and romantic and the service was immaculate! My husband and I had never experienced a dining experience like this. The hostesses were so friendly and kind, all the waiting staff were accommodating, and Michael worked so hard to make sure we had the best possible experience. The food was unlike any we had tried before and was fresh. It came out quickly and tasted like it was very well prepared by highly trained chefs. We absolutely will be returning in the future and recommend it to all that can make it.“

“Rocky’s came Highly recommended from Emma, at the tasting room Eda Ryne. The very best food we have eaten in a LONG time!! The fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly and goat. Cheese were the Best Ever, along with the Medium fried chicken! I'll be telling everyone I know that visits the Biltmore, to stop here for lunch/ dinner!“

“Always enjoy a meal at the Stable Cafe when we are at Biltmore, appreciated the dinner hours to accommodate Luminere. The Pickled Plum and Burrata Toast was fabulous we weren't sure about it when we ordered it and then couldn't stop raving about it. The Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Bisque tasted like the ingredients had been harvested that morning- it was delicious!“

“Wonderful meal! We had reservations for 6:15. Arrived at 6:00 and were immediately seated. Our waiter, Tom was exceptional. My wife ordered the special surf and turf and I had the Tavern Fish and Chips. Both meals were delicious!! Ordered a cocktail with dinner and it was a generous pour, which I like. I would go back to Cedric's Tavern in a heart beat!“

“We were a party of 8...in the summer...around lunchtime...so it was crowded but we were seated quickly..had biscuits right away and our food came out quickly...portions were huge..(.I think the meatloaf slice was a pound of beef by itself.)..Staff were courteous and helpful with our wheelchair and walkers.food was reasonably priced... our only "negative" comment would be that some desserts ran out :( but everything else was great!“

“We heard about the Mills River Restaurant, 4467 Boylston Hwy, Mills River (Henderson County) from a friend and we finally gave it a try. Went there for lunch today.

The restaurant is quite large with plenty of easy parking. We told our waitress extraordinaire, Ashley that this was our first visit. Ashley offered a number of menu suggestions. She was very polite, super friendly and helpful. Ashley didn’t rush us, was very informative and attentive. When we were paying our bill, we praised Ashley to a man whom we believe was the owner or the manager.

Be prepared, Mils River Restaurant has a huge menu! With this being our first visit, we went with Ashley’s suggestion of the “All Time Favorites” that had a choice of the one trip to the salad bar, a side vegetable OR 3 dailyvegetables. The entrees came with warm, slices of fresh bread with plenty of butter or a margarine type spread.

The Salad Bar I forgot to take a picture of. A large variety of salad toppings such as pickled beets, 3-bean salad, cottage cheese, chick peas, shredded cheese, olives, eggs, chopped ham and other endless choices. Their Salad Bar was so excellent!

I had to try their fried chicken breast and my husband ordered their grilled marinated chicken breast. The fried chicken were TWO 7-oz chicken breasts, with a nice, super crunchy breading. Not overly breaded, it was just right. My husband ordered the TWO 7-oz marinated chicken breast was amazing…great marinade, juicy and grilled to perfection. Both plates were $16.99 each.

Another nice thing was none of the food items were overly salted nor overly seasoned, which was a huge plus. The fried okra was lightly battered and fried just right. I asked for butter with my mashed potatoes, no gravy for me….well, this time anyway. The mash were made from scratch and were so tasty. Both chicken entrees were very flavorful and delicious. The chicken breast portions were quite generous. Since we had the Salad Bar, we ended up bringing home most of our chicken plates, which will be another meal.

Fabulous food, reasonably priced, great service, nice spotless atmosphere… can’t get any better than that! Highly recommend Mills River Restaurant!

Open Tues- Sunday 7am-9pm. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! They also serve appetizers, steaks, chops, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, ribs, Italian and Greek dishes and so much more. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine, smoothly and perfect…they do it right. As I said, Holy Moly they have an extensive menu! Walked away extremely pleased with this restaurant. 😋

We will be back!“

“Recently visited Zeke’s and had the braised short ribs on a bed on risotto with carrots, celery and a side of garlic spinach and yellow squash. The dish was fresh and delicious. Although I believe short ribs are supposed to be served on the bone. The dish was still very good. Very tender meat and excellent presentation. The spinach and garlic was outstanding and would have made a great meal all on its own. Highly highly recommended! Their Prime Rib on Friday along with their fried pickles are amazing!!“

“The burgers and our service were amazing“

“Visit on holiday package. Breakfast was fabulous well plated and delicious. Thanksgiving dinner was plated in an unappetizing manner with food smashed up in domes next to each other with cranberry sauce ( not good for diabetic)poured on top of everything. everything was lukewarm and gravy had no flavor. I requested a new plate and received 2 plates with everything in separate bowls still lukewarm. Felt like a snub from the Chef for commenting on plating. Lady next to us had a beautifully plated steak. If you can't do a well plated turkey dinner don't offer it as an option.“

“5/5 recommend this spot! Jesse’s service is amazing and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for being so amazing!“

“This is our fourth trip to Hickory traveling and everyone gets progressively better. The service is good and our servers Gracen and Kelly did a great job of taking care of us. We will be back again and again and we really enjoy the atmosphere.“

“I had a wonder experience. From ordering the food. It was delicious 😋 Then we had shakes , which were delicious as well. I would highly recommend CULVER'S 👌“

“I’m giving lots and the store 5 starts as they had a huge 30 person group come in right before we came in. We were told about this and since we didn’t need to be anywhere we stayed. We got our apps quickly and then waited for 40 minutes + for our food. Since Lalita our waitress saw that we had been waiting so long she went to management and got our meals for free. She was the best“

“great burgers. a little expensive but the price of beef has skyrocketed so I can't blame them. tasty“

“Amazing barbecue! Coming from a champion barbecue family we take our barbecue super serious. It’s so nice to go to a restaurant that outshines what we can do at home.“

“Amazing! The best part about this restaurant is the customer service. I failed to obtain a grounds pass before dinner and I called to let the dining room know and they were so understanding and patient. They held our reservation and we were able to have an outstanding experience.. yes, experience! The bread, the butter... everything. Even the menu lights up! We had the salmon and the swordfish... 10/10! Shout out to Matthew and Mario... Highly recommend visiting if you have the chance!“

“The chefs are brilliant and inspired. The service is en pointe. There are bartender crafted cocktails which are absolutely delightful. The atmosphere is wonderful... these mountains frame this farm so perfectly. The menu is delectable in its options and seasonal variability. I'm a 50 year, born here local... this is my 8th time enjoying eating here at The Silo at Horse Shoe Farm. So, this is not a one off, or a hastily performed review. I've partaken all the James Beard Asheville chefs for a while now...as well as any and all "new best thing restaurant" that comes to be. Nothing...I repeat, nothing in WNC compares to The Silo. You will not be disappointed. And if...if you are and you communicate it- they will make it right. You will have one of the best meals of your life.“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“It was really a wonderful night food was great I was hesitant to celebrate my birthday there cause the last time we were there the food wasn’t good. But this time everything was delicious my family loved all their foods“

“The food was delicious and the waiter was super nice. It was a very pleasant experience.“

“I am from Connecticut and you can not find good seafood out here until we found this place. We live an hour and a half away and it is well worth the trip. Awesome food ?“

“Great burgers and beers. Chicken sandwich is also tasty“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“Great sandwiches friendly staff.“

“Recently, this restaurant seems to have gone through a lot of changes. The management has changed from the top down. Which shows that the food is better. The service is better and a much friendlier atmosphere. I totally recommend this Applebees. Great job to the new general manager, Pam.“

“Excellent all around! Great food and service.“

“This local group of restaurants has been serving really good food with great service and a comfortable atmosphere since 2001. Chicken and waffles are there, of course, but loads of other stuff, including spinach/potato cakes with tomato gravy, one of my favorites. Highly recommended.“

“Oh my goodness, if you haven't tried the shrimp & grits you are missing out. Theirs is most definitely among the best, if not the best, I've ever eaten. And being a seafood lover, I've eaten a lot!😄“
