38 Best American Restaurants in Greensboro

“I’ve been enjoying Village Tavern for over 25 years—whether celebrating with friends and family or simply stopping in for a casual meal. It’s one of those rare places where I know I can always count on a consistently great meal and warm, attentive service.

There’s truly not a bad seat in the house. The indoor dining area is cozy and welcoming, and I especially love the outdoor patio when the weather’s nice. The large bar inside is perfect for socializing or networking, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. It’s a spot that’s friendly to both families and singles, and the staff always makes everyone feel at home.

Some of my favorites include the fish tacos, meatloaf, and carrot cake—each one consistently delicious and satisfying. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and offers plenty of parking, which makes every visit easy and enjoyable.

Village Tavern has been part of so many memories over the years, and I’m grateful it continues to be a place I can return to with confidence and joy.“

“Our waiter was rubbing some girls' hair and scalp for 3-4 minutes before coming to serve us. two of our party of 5 were there for lunch. the waiter did not wash his hands and we were disgusted. we did not say anything as I decided to make a written comment at home. He also did not write down our orders saying he had been doing this a long time and didn't need to write down the orders. My friend and I were not happy about him rubbing the friend's hair and scalp in front of customers. thank you“

There is No Way that this restaurant is a 4.7, its got to be a solid 5. If you want the Best meal that you have ever eaten, try MJ's. You will be glad that you did !“

“Food portion is small cold and overcooked when brought to their attention they became aggressive and loud will not spend another dime to be treated this way shame on you“

“Elevated American menu and cocktails. It’s become a favorite with non-vegans family, and offers a good variety of vegan food and cocktails. Highly recommend their black bean burger and cauliflower apps with their chipotle sauce. The menu denotes what can be made vegan!“

“The food was good, not great. The fish was not cooked very well. Service was applicable. The appearance of the restaurant was not good at all. Several tables were not cleaned, and there was lots of food on the floor. The atmosphere was not pleasing for the consumption of food ?“

“Mike's Vegan Grill specializes in vegan food so you know it's not an afterthought. I tend to eat more "healthy vegan" with no oil and low fat and this is NOT that, but it's a great option for me occasionally. My omni friend enjoyed her food as well. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-29“

“Fantastic cheese curds…a must have! I had the Italian beef sandwich “baptized”. I’m from Chicago and know what the sandwich is supposed to taste like. They really delivered on it. Taste, texture, and condiments were very similar to what I would expect in Chicago. Well done! The only feedback is that the bathrooms needed attention.“

“Very good vegetarian options, my personal favorite place in Greensboro. Delicious sangria as well.“

Fresh salads, best homemade egg salad, orangeades, breakfast s!

“Jamill was Gracious, Attentive, Expedient, and Entertaining.

Great customer service, funny, good pours, remembers her customer’s drinks

She makes any place she works feel like home away from home. Which seems magical when all she is doing is making drinks.“

“Long day of travel and meetings so didn’t want to go out for dinner. Did room service and glad I did. Perfectly cooked and seasoned filet. Waffle fries with no greasiness. Mixed green salad. Then chocolate mousse cake to finish off meal. Great food. Will do this again next time in High Point.“

“Wonderful customer service started at check-in and continued throughout the stay! The Bistro morning staff 3/19 was warm and welcoming! Very clean rooms, close to downtown and interstate. Only took 10 minutes to get downtown all weekend which was nice. Parking was great, you can park on whatever side of the property you are staying on. Would stay again!“

“What started as a $4.15 Happy Meal on a road trip the day after Christmas, proceeding to hungry and very angry parents late at night after several other restaurants ended up being closed or refusing to serve walk-in customers, ended with a $40 meal and the angel at the Jake’s Diner drive-thru. I don’t actually know what’s on the menu, and honestly, they probably could’ve served Lunchables and I’d have still given them a four star review. Thank you for being open late the night after Christmas, thank you to the nice girl at the window for simply wanted 3 chicken sandwiches and fries, one spicy, and making it happen. The food was great, the service was quick, and you saved our night.“

“10/10 Experience!!! Our server Mia was super attentive, patient and super helpful. I didn’t know what to order because everything looked so delicious and she helped me figure it out as well as gave me extra time to make my indecisive mind up. and the food came out super fast!!! btw i got the burria tacos“

“Muy buen sabor. Muy buenos precios“
