36 Best American Restaurants in Greensboro

“I love Josh so much! Today was no different than other times that I visited. I think back to the time my son and I were in when they were one of the only two restaurants open in Greensboro during bad weather. He had been here all day, exhausted only two of them serving and running the restaurant and he was great and he was great again today. Thank you Joshua for all you do for the community. !!! Now I’ll let him“

“Sat at a he bar and had wonderful service and the food was awesome!“

“Great food and services. The wait times on Fridays can be as long as an hour so make sure to make a reservation. You should also make sure to be there 15-20 min prior to check in and stand by just in case a table frees up.and they call you first.“

“We dined at B. Christopher’s before seeing Shen Yun at The Tanger Center. It was an amazing dinner and a perfect way to begin our evening.“

“We had a great experience at Elm St. Grill, thanks in large part to our waiter and owner, Ravi, who truly provided top-notch service for our party of 21! From the moment we arrived, Ravi made our entire group feel welcome and well taken care of. He was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, especially with our soccer girls who came straight from a game. He made sure they were served first, which did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated! He went above and beyond by surprising our two goal scorers with complimentary ice cream, creating a special moment for the team. Ravi was also knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and helping everyone find something they enjoyed. Large parties can sometimes feel overlooked, especially during a busy dinner rush, but Ravi was the exact opposite: present, organized, and on top of everything. We’re so grateful for the experience. Thank you, Ravi, for making our night so memorable! Cheers, The New Mom“

“I come here often and have even brought business to this place. Today for the first time I was served a chopped hamburger on nachos and when I sent it back the "GM" was very rude and told me that I should have told them I didn't want a hamburger on my food because it's still "beef".. I am disgusted by the service I received today and before the restaurant responds I DARE you to look at those cameras and see who was in the wrong. This was simply another case of a white woman using her privilege to weaponize the police. Work on your customer service and de-escalation skills. Calling the police on a paying customer because they don't like your food as they are agreeing to leave is even more disgusting than the food was today. 0 stars if I could“

“Service was great food good waitress Skyler was great....“

“What else can I say but this place is exceptional. Today, we went to celebrate my wife's birthday as it is a family favorite. This place was busy! Spencer is already one of the hardest working Managers in Greensboro, and he was out there with the rest of the staff making sure everything was moving along. Our server, Alex, was incredible and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was exceptional, from appetizer to dessert. We had the Parmesan Artichoke cheese dip, the honey-chili aioli fried chicken sandwich, hot dog (for the kiddo), and for dessert we had the Kahlua Espresso Cheesecake (coffee w/ Bailey's for Mom and Dad). We are somehow always more impressed with this place every visit and can't wait to get back!“

“I was really in the mood for a Bacon egg and cheese sandwich tonight. Its not on their menu, but since they have the ingredients on hand they accommodated me. It was satisfying, crunchy and delicious. Center Grove is our little local place that never fails to give us a great little meal on those nights when cooking is the last thing we want to do.“

“A friend and I dined at brunch. It was excellent. No fussy menu but what taste ! A bit of a wait simply due to its quality and great service. and popularity. I look forward to a return visit. Highly recommend.“

“Great food great employees will recommend them so glad I went“

“Delicious food and fresh menu options, warm and comfortable atmosphere, exciting events, lots of televisions, very clean, and great staff. I could go on but you need to experience it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.“

“If youre in greensbro you MUST try this place!! amazing service and amazing food and amazing vibes! definitely coming back !“

“Ordered the Granny and the Godfather Panini Melt and it absolutely hit the spot! I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with any option here. The dipping sauces also paired well. Instead of the duck fat fries we got broccoli which was soft and topped with shredded cheese. Not bad at all. If you do get fries, from what I observed people got huge portion sizes. I would absolutely come back here to explore more of the menu. They also have daily specials and happy hour prices. The music was awesome too. Great feel. Great hits from back in the day. And the waiter was outstanding. I think his name was Brian??? But definitely a guy you want serving/representing your restaurant. Thanks guys, fun spot !“

“Great Breakfast. I give 5 stars.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while and usually have Cassie and Danielle as my bartenders. They provide amazing service every time no matter how busy it is. The chicken tenders are my favorite food item to get. I’d choose this place as my go-to every time.“

“The best comfort food in Greensboro! I ordered the Lemon Meringue pie for my mom and she said it was the best she has ever had!“

“MELANI!!! She was amazing!! Such a STAR! She provided such a lovely and kind service that made us laugh and enjoy the holiday. The food was amazing as always and she paid attention to all of our needs with care. So grateful we came here for our Friday before the 4th. Happy Holidays Everyone!! Cheers 🎉“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I had a Classic Burger, Shrimp and Chorizo tacos, and the Dirty Fries. She is vegan. I am not. She also had a chocolate shake.

The burger was outstanding. Standard toppings and special sauce. Great flavor burger with a little heat.
The Chorizo tacos were amazing. Cilantro Aioli wasn't a great pairing for me but the taco itself was extremely tasty.
The Shrimp Taco had the same great flavor. The shrimp wasn't exactly my girlfriend's favorite texture (extra taco for me!).
She also loved her chocolate shake and wanted to know how they made it. It was rich and creamy and had an excellent flavor.
The drinks were a sweet tea (strong and perfectly sweetened) and a pineapple lemonade (also flavorful and just tart enough).
The Dirty Fries were a tad too sweet for me but lots of flavor.
Highly recommended!“

“My friend Sharon and I went to dinner tonight and our waiter Nick was amazing! Great food, great atmosphere, and great live music! We always enjoy having dinner there!“

“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“

“They sure don't make places like this anymore. It was really refreshing to see it reminded me of my childhood when things were much simpler and unique in their own ways. Now everywhere you go it's a rerun of the same thing over and over. Everyone in there was friendly and the food was simple but delicious. It will be a place I return to should I happen to be in this area again in the future.“

“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“

“I had the best burger and fries of my life today. Yummmmm!“

“Riz is an amazing bartender. He will absolutely try to match you to your ideal cocktail and watching him work is an education.
For a hotel bar the atmosphere was great.
The bar is quite small, so if like me you like to sit up at the counter you may be sos at busy times.“

“Rachel and I ate at MJ's Saturday night and it was one of the Best meals that I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Michael Angelo is alive and well and working as a chef at MJ's. 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 !“

“The food, service, and atmosphere here are truly exceptional. I had the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and wings, and wow that Tastee sauce with lemon pepper is dangerously addictive. Every bite was full of flavor and cooked just right. On top of the great food, the hospitality really stands out. Richard and his family always greet you with genuine smiles and make you feel right at home. If you’re craving good old American comfort food made with care, this spot is a must-visit.“

“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!“

“Such a unique spot with delicious food, excellent staff, and an all around experience!“

“We came in hungry after traveling. Martin, our waiter, was friendly and attentive. Took our order and served our food quickly-- all while giving us a welcoming smile. Refilled our water glasses. Checked to make sure we were happy with our food and asked if we needed anything else. Jesse, our cook, also came out to ask if we were pleased with the food. We were! It was cooked perfectly and arrived piping hot. Portions were huge. We had fish and chips and a beyond burger and split a salad. Everything was delicious. The experience was worthy of a 5 star review. Fabulous service. Well prepared food. Great attitude.“

“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.“

“Tasty food and great service!“

“We had the Watermelon, Hokkaido Scallops and Ouster. All great Charred Cabbage and Tasso Lamb. Amazing Thank you.“

“Food, atmosphere was excellent. Service was spectacular. Our server, Malachi really took care of us and made us feel special. We’ll be back!!!“
