18 Best American Restaurants in Shelby

“This is our go-to place every Monday except for when they are closed or if something else is going on. They are just a little laid-back small town joint. Everyone who works there is always super nice. It can get a little crowded sometimes during lunch hour, but we always manage to find a spot. They also have a covered picnic area if you like to eat outside. Food is always delicious. The BBQ is the best in town (sorry to both Bridges lovers). Burgers are excellent, and so are the hot dogs. I highly recommend it. They only take cash, though, if you have never been.“

“The food is awesome. Home cooked meals and made to order menu food. Their prices are very cheap for the quality of food they serve. Everyone is nice and friendly. My favorite home style food restaurant ever. Everyday they have lunch specials that consist of 2 choices and comes with a tea for 9.99.“

“Great place to eat. I like their daily. The wait staff are friendly and very attentive. The food is always great and there are many options to choose from.

“Took my wife out for our anniversary at Ruby Tuesday’s on July 14th. I ordered 1/2 rack ribs with fries and she ordered a hamburger, two salad bars, and tea. The total bill including a tip was $50.00. The Berger and salad was good, but th ribs were tough and dry and possibly left over from earlier and warmed over. I have eaten ribs before at the same place and always good.“

“The staff were hopping! The food was hot and fresh. The wait staff were fast, accurate and friendly. The 1 busses that stood out to me, as I people watched was a young black man that had dimples that could hold a cup of water lol, anyway he was cleaning like a mad man, was very aware of his surroundings, made sure not to bump chairs, table or clients. I was very impressed with his work ethic as the other 2 bussers looked like they had a long nite, dragging around, bumping the surrounding areas. If you see someone doing a job and doing it well, say something. I thanked him several times. Owners please know he was a rock star that day for your company.“

“Nice place to hang. Large menu, great value and deals. The staff was super friendly. Love the building itself. The wings were delicious, the pizza was average. My family's sandwiches were well received. We'll definitely go back when we're in the area.“

“Wow! What a great hamburger. I have paid $15 for burgers that were not as good. It was cooked up fresh after I ordered it and was delicious. I could tell it is good quality hamburger meat. The fries were good also, they were large crinkle cut fries .And they were fried up fresh.. A friend told me about the lemonade and I tried it. It’s the best around and I even got a free refill. I love this place..A restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated to serve great food.“

“I just stopped by the jive turkey cafe to try out breakfast and let me tell you, do yourself a favor and stop in and grab a bite, you won't regret it! my breakfast quesadilla is delicious! Don't sleep on this cafe because it is in the college, it is open to the public and the food is fantastic!“

“We had my son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner upstairs 3/26/26. We had the best experience with Kelly at Newgrass. She was so helpful with the whole process. The food was delicious and setting was casual and fun. 🙂 Thank you to Newgrass for making our weekend the best! ⭐️🌟“

“A little late on this review and I apologize for that. My friends and I went to this restaurant after a wedding and had some drinks and ate. The atmosphere was awesome and we had the pleasure of meeting Nancy. Nancy is the biggest reason we enjoyed the experience, she was funny and made us all laugh despite how exhausted we were. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the food was delicious.

10/10 would recommend again.“

“My grandparents love this place. The food is usually good but there have been some lackluster cases. Service is great. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a golden corral. The atmosphere is colder during the day but warmer at night. There could definitely be some better management choices. The staff are extremely friendly and I can't stress that enough.“

“Exactly what Waffle House is supposed to be. Clean location, friendly and efficient staff, and food that comes out hot and fast. Bacon, egg, and cheese on Texas toast with hash browns all the way (no gravy) hit the spot. Reliable, comforting, and clutch when you need it most.“

“New to the area my 1st time here was a walk-in turned curbside order. Just didn't want to go in and eat wanted to order n go. Rosetta was so sweet and amazing! She greeted me kindly she was very attentive and double checked to make sure I ordered everything was correct. When food was ready she brought it out to my car. I swear her smile could brighten anyone's day! The food was so good we decided to go in and eat the next day and our server Logan was on point! He was very attentive and friendly and he made sure we received our order in a timely matter He also checked on us to make sure everything was good. I have been to alot of applebees from state to state and this one by far is my favorite. I feel like I have known them forever almost like family. It was very clean spacious and comfortable. Foid was perfect!“
