15 Best American Restaurants in Shelby

“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!“

“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.“

“The family that owns and runs Kelly’s Seafood is a Christian family and examples of what Christianity is supposed to be. The food is always scrumptious, made to order, and relatively fast for how busy they stay. The service is always impeccable and friendly. I highly recommend Kelly’s Seafood to anyone who enjoys amazing seafood which they will fry hard or regular according to your order. Don’t forget to try the pies! They also have hats, shirts, and sweatshirts that are available for purchase at the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Many restaurants look down on you for bringing kids in with you. Not these guys. They remember your kids and address them most of the time by name. They speak to your kids and make them feel special. This restaurant with their amazing staff is what every restaurant should be. If your kids are fussy, they go out of the way to talk to them and calm them which is amazing!“

“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!“

“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. ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is as great! Customer service was ok. Loved that their sanitation rating was a 99% Don’t get me wrong. I love that they accept cash but they do not take debit or credit cards. I went there to take my clients out to eat. I was embarrassed that they had to pay because I do not carry cash all the time and today I happen to not have any. So they had to pay for me. I will be paying them back but if it was just me. I would have had to leave because I had no cash. I wonder how much business they lose. They should at least offer an atm so we have an option to get cash out. Prices are amazing! $28 for 3 burger baskets and 3 teas. That is cheap!“

“This Cafe is outstanding and I highly suggest you try it if you haven't already! The food is always delicious and the Cafe is clean and well cared for. 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 ?“

“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.“

“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“

“I only had a problem with a guy named Bobby that has a problem with everyone that was cussing everyone that worked here and was rude to everyone else. Hopefully they dealt with the problem and I talked to the manager on duty and he understood what I was saying and said he He will deal with it. Overall this is the best Ruby Tuesday that I'm into. I gave the 100% on service and along with service.“

“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“
