36 Best American Restaurants near Colden

“I stopped in on a whim. Very friendly atmosphere the bartender recommended a burger because I wasn’t sure what to order. It was by far one of the best burgers I’ve had in years. If you have a chance to go there go and enjoy some delicious food and great conversation with the local people there. Highly recommended!“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect- I found the place on google while I was searching for a fun place to take my wife on Valentine’s Day that we’ve never been to. Looked cute in the pictures, so figured would give it a shot…and I am so so so happy we did! It has an incredible rustic feel (being an actual old Mill that’s almost 200 years old) and a warm a cozy vibe. The hostess was very kind, and sat us immediately, even though we were a tad early for our reservation. My wife was super excited because there was a working wood-burning stove right next to our table and it was so calming and toasty! The waitress was a delight, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Since it was V-Day they had a special menu for the night, and I promise every option looked incredible- it was really hard to choose! Needless to say, the Steak I ordered was truly one of the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked to perfection. The drink menu has some delicious options as well, and fit the vibe perfectly! For desert I got this insane Apple Fritter + ice cream bowl that really blew me away. If I wasn’t so full, I would’ve ordered a second it was so good! Such an awesome place. I’m very excited to go back again. It is easily the best Google search I’ve ever made for a restaurant!“

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!“

“Old Orchard Inn is a bit hard to find even for GPS. Be prepared to not find it on the first try if you have never been here before. The entrance road is hidden, barely paved and rough. Parking is free though. Be prepared to drive slowly when you do enter the driveway. There is a steep upward climb when you walk to the front door. If you are elderly, infirmed or handicapped, a boy with a golf cart will come get you and transport you to and from if you encounter difficulty or simply require mobility assistance. I only know this because I saw it with my own eyes. The wait was a bit long (about 30 minutes). Judy was the waitress; I see reviews with her name from 2012. She must be a lifer. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. She is in command and can handle any customer no matter what happens. She is a good photographer if you need that service as well. Later she brought more menus and took our orders. Although she is not bashful about giving orders as well. I had the grilled lamb salad. A "hard to get" at most places for sure. It was a grilled half rack of New Zealand lamb. Crisp spring greens, goat cheese, roasted red pepper, red onion and lemon chive dressing. Highly recommend this! The sides are served family style to everyone at your table. We had summer squash and carrots, and herb roasted red potatoes. Judy will not do substitutes! The blood orange creme Brule is splendid for dessert. The restroom was a bit silly. The towel dispenser was hung from the ceiling, also just enough room to turn around in there. So, no need to be concerned about sharing it with anyone, you will have plenty of privacy. There is outdoor seating and a duck pond when the weather is nice. There is also a fireplace if the weather is cool. Certainly, memorable and will never be forgotten. In the event you are looking for something very unique with a flair for charm, the Old Orchard Inn may be just your ticket for elegance, relaxation and fun. Caveat Emptor.“

“From beginning to end, everything was top notch. The waiter was very attentive, and the owner was very pleasant. The food was delicious. From the deviled eggs, calamari, chicken Milanese, and the scallops on tomato based risotto, everything was delicious! And to top it all off was two different kinds of cakes. Both were big and wonderful. We will definitely be going back!“

“If you want to go where everyone knows your name, it’s Kipps and the food is amazing. The service is fantastic, out of this world and you’re pretty much served within five minutes!“

“I have not played a round of golf yet this year, but since the opening of Nora’s on 9 I have eaten here several times. I’ve enjoyed the Hotdog with chili sauce to the smash burger. Onion rings or fries or even the Tots. To this point the food has been spot on, and always served with a smile. Highly recommended“

“I showed up at 1030, an hour early on a Sunday. I read online you should arrive 30-60 minutes before opening. I was the first one there and sat by myself until 11:15. In the last 15 minutes before opening I think probably 20 more People showed up. By 1145 the restaurant was full and there was a line outside. When we left around 1230 there were a lot of people outside waiting and im sure many more who were walking around the nearby stores waiting for the text that their table was ready.
The restaurant is a tight squeeze but it is worth it. Our server was great. Checked on us many times. Very friendly. I would recommend grabbing a table on the deck or toward the front of the bar. We sat in the back and there is not much room and a lot of traffic from the kitchen and bathroom.
Food was excellent. I see why they are constantly called the best wings in Buffalo. We got the medium and the cajun-honeybutter-bbq. They are large wings and came out extra crispy. We also got a side of the fried cheese curds which were garlicy and awesome.
I dont have a bad thing to say except one of the cooks (who was very nice) was wearing a Ravens hat. Besides that everything was great and I cant wait to go back.“

“Went here with my friend today to get coffee and lunch I do got to say it is a little pricey but the food is so worth it and the portions are really big as well defiantly recommend the chicken pesto panini with Mac and cheese or the MOOG which is a roast beef sandwich so good 10/10“

“portions are huge 😳 great service.will definitely go again“

“I have been looking for a place to eat breakfast in East Aurora. Being from Pittsburgh and visiting I did not know where to go. I found the Iron Kettle on Google and saw their menu included steak & eggs, plus country potatoes. The steak was seasoned perfect, and people make you feel welcomed. Highly recommend this place, you can’t go wrong. 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Four of us ate here. The service was very good. Food was good for 2 of us. The other 2 both ordered reubens. They were not at all satisfied with their sandwiches. The meat had a good flavor, but was full of fat & grizzle. Not at all lean & tender. Whether this is normal or a one-time occurrence, we don't know!“

“Nice atmosphere, great food and service!“

The owner and staff are awesome and friendly! So I Got a fish fry and took it home - still crispy and hot . Honestly a 10/10 - and I’m picky with fish fries. Best anywhere around Elma / EA !“

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.“

“Amazing food great prices.“

“First time coming in and I felt so welcome! The bartender was warm, kind and she basically suggested my food and drink order! We had a great conversation about sports and travel and she suggested a few of her favorites in Buffalo. I am here for work so having suggestions of places to check out was helpful. The place was clean inside, though outside there is some kind of construction. When I see construction I can only assume business is good. There were a ton of TVs and it’s so close to the new stadium the view is great. . They have a big menu! Note to self, always go with workers options. I got the banana peppers and the signature flavored wings as the bartender suggested. The food was amazing. The service was top notch, the ambience was also nice. Bernadette was the name of my bartender. I believe she said she works during the day on Fridays and Saturdays. Will def be back“

“very pricey and small portions..coworker got steak in the grass sandwich and sweet potato fries and with tax and takeout fee it was 24 dollars..souvlaki wrap and fries was 17 dollars..a super basic cold tuna sandwich with fries was 16 dollars..this place used to be great but has went downhill the past few years..they've lost my business“

“Stopped in this evening after a day on the slopes with my son the service and atmosphere was amazing. Food was delicious and just what we wanted after being out in the cold. We would recommend this place for a family dinner or casual outing“

“Wonderful, laid back place. After a day of walking around the village; my man and I stopped in for bowling, drinks, and some video games. Very enjoyable. Good drafts. The bar staff was very hospitable and friendly. Shoutout to Dominic and Kirstin, you all are awesome!“

“The food and service was good. Be aware! The prices on the menu are different from what they charge you. My meal in the menu was $18.99. I was charged $23.99 for shrimp scampi and much smaller portion from past order. Fish fry was listed as $15.99 was charged 21.99. They need to let you know the prices are higher than what is listed in their menu. ?‍♀️“
