20 Best American Restaurants near Lawndale

“A true gem worth the drive. No corner cutting and great service. The value here is impossible to beat anywhere else and the options cater to everyone, given it's an Onsite bbq smokehouse operation, not a salad bar or sushi place. The fried cheese curds and smoked wings were the reason I'll return regularly now. Everyone has strong opinions about meat and sauces so I'll be productive and just say the beef and pork on the generous sampler platter are perfect in how they're prepared and leave it at that. Not too much smoke, juicy and made to order. Ask for the "Weenis Plate" and have a High Life Pony bottle while you wait!“

“Talking about stuff. This little country store has a ton of it. They now open the grill on Sunday 10-4. They made me an incredible hotdog all the way. Home made slaw by the way. It was really good. Stop in a see them. The staff are super friendly.“

“Jan's has always been THE spot to grab a great comfort bite to eat! This morning my sausage biscuit and scrumptious "tater wedges" hit the spot! I'm not a person to eat potato wedges, but from Jan's I could definitely eat more than an unhealthy amount and be completely satisfied.“

“Eat at the Depot on Sundays on a regular basis. Always great food,staff and service. Best roast beef ever next to Mama's. And this is a big SHOUT OUT to the DEPOT!!!Another plus they have a drive around the restaurant for to go orders. This moves very well.Parking: All kinds of parking“

“Love the crinkle fries with their healthy Greek yogurt- tzatziki sauce! The variety of menu selections and the portions are also very good. The quality of the food and the service is always extremely good! All if their locations where I've eaten are consistently clean and provide a pleasurable atmosphere to enjoy a good meal on a limited budget! Hope they just keep doing what they have been doing for years!“

“You HAVE to try this “Special” Cafe at least once, because you’re gonna get great food, no matter what you order and you’re gonna get a special kind of service that benefits a very good community. They offer two specials each day, a home-cooked meal or a sandwich style basket. The portions are generous and delicious. The place is clean and spacious. The price is absolutely unbelievably very affordable and for me it beats any restaurant in Shelby if you want good simple delicioushomemade meals made by a great cook/ chef, seek out ALLI’s Cafe. I’m definitely going back along with my husband who is very picky and he loved his too. I will be adding more photos as time goes on.“

“Very good double cheeseburger with bacon and skinny fries. My service was excellent. My food was delicious and a great big burger. I almost couldn't eat it all. It didn't take very long to get my order. This was my first time there. There is an upcharge for using a credit card so I paid in cash.“

“Tried this establishment out for lunch. They were busy but the staff was patient with me ordering for the first time here. I went up to the window to order. I got their chicken tenders and fries and famous honey mustard. Honey mustard was on point, the chicken was good but maybe the oil made it dark on some parts? Fries were good too.“

“Dinner was amazing! Guitar soloist entertained the lovely bistro. The pistachio encrusted halibut was delicious. I had them substitute rice for mixed vegetables. The portion was generous! We also had the strip with green beans and whipped potatoes. Best meal we have had in Shelby in sometime. The atmosphere was busting but not overcrowded. Will go back more often!“

“My party of three ordered a Jalapeño popper pizza, a Greek pizza and the Brisket pizza and all 3 were cooked to perfection. The crust was nice and crispy, the cheese was delicious and they added just the right amount of toppings. However, they sat us at a table that was not entirely clean. The seats had crayons left in them and there was trash on the floor. We did stop right after the lunch rush so maybe that is why things were disheveled. The food was delicious so I would give them another try.“

“Friend jumbo shrimp and fried catfish were on point! Catfish were thin and crispy, just how I like them. And both were seasoned very well! We will be back! Oh, and the portion sizes were great for the price paid! We got 2 small plates and ate on them for another meal.“

“We ate it so fast we didn't get pics..This cute little place was on the way to South Mountains Sate park. Take out only. The chicken biscuits were better than Chick-fil-A say my boys. The value for this home cooked goodness is unmatched these days. The ladies serving were so sweet and the most hospitable we've found in NC so far.“

“Their food is wonderful. I am amazed especially with the steak. They don't cut corners when it comes to a great meal and getting full. The manager and staff and employees are always friendly and helpful. This is my number one go to spot for some big pieces of steak. That's the main thing I go there for. They have other great food as well... But your steak is great and mouthwatering... They give you a generous amount of food... And not no little piece of steak either... They give a big nice juice piece of whole steak which is great when you love steak and are hungry. I don't just love the steak, I also love the oakra and the sweet tea is very good too.. I highly recommend this place. Its located in Shelby NC. Try it out. You won't regret it. Their food is very good and you'll leave happy and full. ?“

The staff is friendly and welcoming and they make you feel like you are part of the family!The hot bar is wonderful and the rice bowls and yeti burgers are soooo good ?“

“We loved our visit to Newgrass. We had enjoyed their smoothie sour beers in Raleigh for a while but it was great to be here in person. Loved the Nashville Chicken sandwich, the smash burger and the libations as well as the quaint town of Shelby.“

“A true hidden Gem that has the best staff and atmosphere. The wings are mind- blowing, real ingredients, real quality and not greasy mushy over cooked wings like 99 percent of the places claim to have. This place is our new go to spot for great reason. Real authentic top notch 100 percent value for your money and time. Please support this spot as they are true rocking "wing hero's" on the epic portions side.“

“You know the food joint is bout to be good when it’s sat beside a gas station. I got a cheeseburger basket with seasoned fries and man that burger was juicy & well seasoned, and those fries were sizzling hot. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Shelby“

“Down home friendly atmosphere with a large menu of Burgers and Fries to Seafood and Salads. The wait staff was very attentive and the meal portions are plentiful. Daily menu items are posted for specials of the day. Providing great meals for indoor dining as well as catering services are available for your private events.“

“The guy who took our money was nicer than our server. Seen her 1 time and then had the audacity to try and pull us back to the table to "talk" all the whole holding up our tip like it wasn't enough. Sorry but tips are earned and again we only seen the waitress 1 time. All of our plates that we used were all still on the table when we left. 8 of them“
