35 Best American Restaurants near Alexandria

“Best breakfast ever! It’s always worth the drive. It’s difficult to decide from all the amazing options!“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“The food is amazing, they do a lot of catering to gluten-free. The owners are wonderful and kind, they work really hard to make this a top notch resteraunt.“

“First time visiting Tavern 519 & did not disappoint! Food was great & atmosphere was as well. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“I really enjoyed their Ginger peanut salad. I had one of their fresh out of the oven pretzel dog, Yummy!! Good food, great folks working there and a wonderful town“

“My husband and I love this place! The couple that run it are super friendly, their empanadas are INSANELY good, and their dinner specials are a great deal. We picked up the Pot Roast dinner special the other night and it was delicious!!! She made all different gourmet brownies the other week and they were amazing, especially the chocolate peanut butter 🤤🤤 I really can’t say enough good things about it! We highly recommend Eatery 519, it’s one of our favorite spots to grab and go lunch and dinner.“

“When you find a place that makes you forget everything else, provides a terrific meal with great employees, you have really found gold. Top that with the upper management being supportive and reactive if you need to speak with them and you want to share that with anyone who wants to listen. The leadership addressed an issue with the kind of response that I have not seen in many years. It was refreshing, to say the least. You won't go wrong. From the front desk to the beautiful rooms, the amazing attentive wait staff to the quaint and welcoming bar...do yourself a favor and escape to the Golden Pheasant. Linger and enjoy. Marie F“

“Had a great time with family and old friends. Food was very good. Service was good too.“

“A small (but not too small), modest, lunch-counter kind of place that's one of my favorite eateries. Not fancy, but spotlessly clean and comfortable. Good steak sandwiches, good fries (even left over at home!), good pierogies, good coffee, good homemade desserts, good lots and lots of things. The couple who run it take great care of their customers. Reasonable prices. I'm always tempted to go more often than I do.“

“Nice small bar. Friendly people. Good food. Cold beer. And there's a pool table! Awesome!“

“Nice Place to Eat. Food is good.“

“Love the Towne Diner. They have become my go to. I love the local vibe and the feeling of community, in addition to my favorite menu pics of course!“

“Huge shout out to the Farmhouse in Hampton, NJ! We were able to plan a wedding in only 3.5 months because of this dedicated and talented team. The entire experience was easy, fun, and professional. The entire team was reliable, organized, and efficient which gave us ability to have peace of mind throughout the process. Gina Milo took such great care of us leading up to and on the day our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with this venue and the amazing staff!“

“The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and efficient. Beautiful place and would highly recommend!“

“Ok, let's get this out of the way: it's expensive. Everyone good? Ok. They're always open, they're nice as can be, and they're serving you hot food and cold drinks from a floating storefront that is subject to the whims of the Delaware river. I love this place, and it is, in fact, the cheapest hot dog you can get while in the middle of the Delaware river.“

“Had such a great server the other night. We were a “chatty” group of gal pals and having fun and our server was just amazing! Drinks were great. The meatball app was excellent“

“Been a fan of Riley and Jake’s for Years! This week I made reservations for a group of 15 ladies. Arrival times varied from 5.30-6:30 and departure times varied too. Our server, Anna took it all in stride. She was friendly and very efficient. Appreciated her cheerfulness and patience. Food was delicious and the cocktails, I’m told were refreshing. Thank you to Jake and Riley’s for another wonderful experience!“

“Highly recommend! Great menu options and reasonable prices.“

“Very good menu with very good prices. Food is terrific.“

“We truly had the best experience here. From start to finish the food was absolutely amazing, every dish was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Our waitress Rose was truly a treat and offered the friendliest experience, she was so attentive, warm, and welcoming which made the whole night even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great service.“

“Huge shout out to manager Andrea and our waitress Kimberly! You prove there are good people in the world!!“

“Great food and friendly staff !! The blood orange creme brulee was amazing . Great views of the River“

“It was okay. We were seated quickly, but it took a while to get service. Our sever was very nice and the order was 100% correct. Unfortunately there was a group next to us where every kid had a phone or tablet watching stuff at high volume. I felt bad for the staff because they left such a mess.“

“My family eats at Gabys regularly. It is consistently good and we love the rotating specials. The honey stung chicken, the meatloaf, the Latin flair, the avocado toast, and holiday specials too!“

“Wonderful staff, great comfortable environment, absolutely the best food I have eaten in a restaurant. Highly recommend Ottsville Inn. Definitely will be going back to enjoy the outdoors. I love the history of the place that is right on the menu.“

“Excellent food, excellent atmosphere! This place takes the ordinary tavern to the next level with their creative food and drink menu. It was my first visit but not my last, definitely check it out!“

“Love this place..great happy hour specials. Wings are the best in the area. Awesome seafood and bar food. Friendly, attentive staff. Well worth the 20 min drive from PA.“

“Very friendly owners, a good selection of snacks, and drinks. Their chicken is so good I've had coworkers as me to pick some up for them, and that's not a joke, that's just a sweet little true thing that happened!

Parking: Mmm, yess, good parking, yes, very nice!“

“If you’re looking for an absolutely delicious ice cream cake made with love- look no further. We are a huge ice cream cake family- our daughter wanted a cookie dough and cookies and cream ice cream cake for her birthday and Williams and Co. did not disappoint. We will never order one from anywhere else! Their communication, flexibility, and passion for what they do is unmatchable. Thank you so much for making our girl’s celebration that much sweeter!“

“Stage Fright had a blast playing at Mrs. Riley’s! The staff were very welcoming and we loved the vibe. Definitely a place to go & hangout, have some drinks and a bite with your friends & listen to Live Music.“

“I can't say enough good about Harker's Hollow, their food, their service, their assistance, everything was just great. The entire event went smoothly, many stayed nearly to the end.“

“Awesome People and Food and fun playing pool“

“Food was typical frozen and reheat items. Either frozen and deep fried or rewarmed in microwave. Disappointed the turkey dinner was just lunch meat reheated… no pumpkin pie offering on Thanksgiving or all days.

Riley and Michelle were the servers when we stopped in for a later lunch. They both were very friendly and kind! They kept our drinks full and had great attitudes towards EVERYONE WHO CAME IN! Said hello to everyone!!!

They greeted the table with a smile! As OTR drivers it’s not a home cooked meal but it was a meal. Your hot tea was so good!

Your website says you have a salad bar or buffet but that’s not true. Even when you go to the TA site for this location, it’s clear states salad bar. Disappointed to see that’s not what was here.

Thanks for the clean place to sit and relax!!!“

“Always cheerful and effecient, Great bagels & sandwiches.“

“I've been here several times, but today I was surprised by the food's flavor, which was the best it's been in years, and everything was cooked to perfection.
Plus, our waitress, Laura, did a great job.

I'll definitely be back every Sunday.“
