44 Best American Restaurants near Jamestown

“Best overall restaurant experience I’ve had in years! I’m a foodie and love trying new places. From the cocktails to the cornbread to catfish, meatloaf, and ribeye… 🤌🤌 Our server, Tony, was top notch! Warm, attentive, helpful, good sense of humor and swag (dancing to the kitchen lol). The music and overall atmosphere was a WHOLE vibe. Eclectic, modern, soulful, fun, cozy, delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try different things!“

“BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS wedding cake! I received so many compliments about my wedding cake. Thank you so much! My wedding was back in 2022. Since then I received a 1st year anniversary top cake baked fresh from them complimentary and will be ordering a round cake for my anniversary this year! Can’t wait! 😋😋😋“

“Love Full Moon Oyster Bar! My best friend is from Maryland and can get fresh seafood whenever they want, but this is their favorite place to eat every time they come to visit! Great cocktails, service, food, and atmosphere!“

“The Kick back Jake's was great I great Experience I visit today!!!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and craft beer on tap! My family and I love this place. My only complaint would be that last time we were here, someone at the table next to us had a dog in a tote bag that was most definitely NOT a service animal. Not one staff member said anything to her. This is a problem for me as I suffer from severe animal allergies. In addition, I don’t feel it is sanitary to bring animals in an establishment where food is being sold/served. Like I said, we love this place, but if this becomes a habit we will have to find another place to go. ☹️“

“The host came up to me, drank my drink, and then left, which made me feel very welcome. The food was great and music made me feel nostalgic. Would give 15 stars if I could.

Vegetarian options: Salad bar is superb and fantastic.“

“All was well, great food!“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I had dinner at this location. Our server Travis was outstanding! He exceeded our expectations. The food was really good and fresh. I will definitely be coming back again.“

“Cheeseburgers & hot chips are great! Love the ice tea! I got there past closing. They had thrown out the veggies. I’ll be back for sure! Nice, friendly staff.“

“Food is good and I love the sweet tea. But I have to wonder why they constantly skimp on toppings. I ordered a cheeseburger with chili and mustard only and there was maybe a bit more than a dime sized amount of chili and no mustard that I could see. I also order burgers with extra mayo and barely get any. What’s the deal?“

“Just spent my birthday at Elm St Grill and was treated like a star! Food was amazing as always! Thank you to Josh, the bartender for taking such good care of my friend and me, and thank you, Ravi for my birthday present!!! Loved spending my birthday at this fantastic restaurant!!!!“

“having people and great food, I will always recommend coming here for a good food and drinks“

“🌭 🍔🍟🥤are the 💣 bomb!! Guarantee satisfaction!.😉😁“

“Derek and his folks did an outstanding job for our daughters wedding of 200+ people! Derek is a great guy, very accommodating, and we LOVED his food! I even had some of the "Pickiest" of guests tell us how great the food was which says a lot! We will use Derek and his team for other events in the future! Great guy and even better food if that's possible!“

“Love coming to town and eating here. Double biscuit and gravy mmmmmhmmm good! There is no place like this. If you have never tried this place you are missing out!“

“LPFS has become one of our regular lunch spots. We love the food and the friendly staff!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my Bacon cheeseburger, the toppings were so Fresh! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. I lived in High Point all my life and had never heard of this spot. My daughter had the chicken sandwich and she was so impressed we're headed back to try breakfast . Great Service“

“Just as good as I remember!! 😋“

“Great food. Always hot and fresh. Custom orders if needed. Smiling staff acts like they are glad to see you. Relaxed atmosphere. Manager Kelly and waitress Carol always greet us and check on us. We are from Lexington NC and always try to go by when we are in Greensboro.“

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

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

“The food was fantastic especially for a Tuesday afternoon. The cook seasoned the food just right. The waitress was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was slightly slow coming out but so well worth the wait. I'll definitely be going back here“

“Live music on enclosed patio. We were seated inside, well away from the music. Music was way too loud. Very difficult to carry on a conversation. Asked the manager about the possibility of closing a door. Responded somewhat impatiently that “we want everyone to hear the music.” and walked away.“

“I just want to say that I highly recommend sixty six fantastic staff they have good missions behind the food helping communities and looking out for everyone helping hurricane victims and all your local fast food are not doing what they are doing here keep up the great work sixty six i stand with you and highly recommend Hailey what a beautiful person inside and out was my server thanks so much to her and staff“

“We adore Tap Room! The atmosphere is ideal for the Tap Room vibe, and the cuisine is fantastic! Everyone on the team works incredibly hard!
The Philly steak N chz is another a favorite, and I heartily recommend the pita wraps! Not to add how delicious the Caesar salad with steak or shrimp is!“

“My husband and I are regulars here. Visiting Melt is really a highlight of our week. Everyone who works there is so down to earth and kind. We like to support businesses that treat their employees well. Something we’ve noted is that much of the staff have been with Melt for quite some time. And they seem genuinely happy to be there. It’s just a really bright gem here in Greensboro. And the food? We’ve never had a bad meal there. It’s always so good. And they make a great Old Fashioned :)

Keep on’ shining!“

“If you ever find yourself near Kernersville, SC, make it a point to stop at The Plaza restaurant…a true hidden gem that delivers an experience far beyond what you’d expect. From the moment we walked in, we were met with warmth and professionalism, and that only grew stronger as the visit continued.

Let’s talk about the food. Everything we ordered was excellent. The French toast was perfectly sweet with a delicate texture that still felt hearty and satisfying. The gyro was absolutely loaded…overflowing with fresh toppings and meat that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was almost too big to handle, but every bite was worth it. And the baked steak? Succulent, tender, and packed with deep, rich flavor that had us savoring each bite.

But the real star of our visit was the service. Brandy, our server, went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive and made us feel like we were the only table in the place. We asked a lot of questions, and she answered each one with enthusiasm and genuine care. It was clear she loves her job, and that positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable.

The Plaza is comfort food done right, with service that shines. We’ll be back!“

“Food is good, prices good, friendly staff, quick service, accuracy. I had never been there before. My son and I had gone to the Farmers Market and I wanted something for breakfast so he recommended Abels Grill. He stated the food was really good and the prices were reasonable.“

“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“

“Most of the time I get the steak & cheese with fries(Thursday special) but I tried the crispy chicken filet the other day & it was so good. The customer service is amazing, they are always pleasant & get your order out to you fast.“

“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!“

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

“I came here for the feel of being among people who have been going here for 40 years. I got that. But the price of the food was too high to enjoy the overall experience. I kept thinking, I could have gone to Publix and gotten a better sub that would have been $3 cheaper. If they lowered their prices, or even had the option of free water, then the overall hometown diner experience would be enhanced.“

“Grill Cheese sandwich- $4.50 White sandwich bag- .45 cents. Tax- .35 cents = One grill cheese sandwich to go- $5.30. Or make 10 at home for $4.50 and save the bag and tax. America is in serious trouble. Todd's s not the problem. We are for allowing this to happen. I will never allow anyone to sell me a white sandwich bag for 45 cents again. Cannot afford this place any longer. Sorry for the owners.“

“I thought I would never again taste food like my Aunt Hattie made it, but today a friend took me to University Kitchen for lunch, and I had green beans, stewed cabbage, fried chicken livers, and cornbread. It was like going back in time to my Aunt Hattie's kitchen and once again tasting good old country cooking at its best. They have managed to keep those great vintage recipes alive, and I now have a new favorite restaurant. Everyone who worked there was amiable and on top of service. It was great!“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
