50 Best American Restaurants near Lafayette

“We went to Logan's twice in the last couple if weeks. The food there is great. Despite the fact that the restaurant is short on staff, the staff they do have is phenomenal and always going an extra mile to accommodate their customers. We had a great brunch in Sunday despite a very long wait. Everyone enjoyed their food and our waitress was great! We will return.“

“Eden is an absolute must-visit in Syracuse! The entire dining experience is unique and unforgettable, focusing on wood-fired cooking that brings out amazing flavors. If you’re looking for something special in Syracuse, Eden is it—a true culinary experience!“

“I’ve visited this restaurant many times over the years in this location and other places.. I try to be optimistic every time now I’ve learned: this place advertises to be a tavern, so it makes sense to selectively choose tavern-like food on the menu (ie., nachos, wings, quesadillas, soups, salads, pizza, burgers & fries..) and if you focus on this approach you will rarely have something bad. I’ve previously ordered a main pasta entree (nothing impressive), the power fit options (just alright) and I recently tried a special steak entree and I vow never again. I’ll go back to the other choices. You can count on the pizzas being amazing every time.

Coppertop is a great casual restaurant for couples, friends, families, groups, with ample parking here. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Drinks are delicious. The ambiance is dark wood, low lighting, and clean.“

“Friendly staff. Great food. It’s worth the price. Highly recommended for anyone.“

“What a great little spot. good food and music. So happy I stumbled upon this place during my visit to syracuse!“

“Great service! Great food“

“Amazing wings. Hot, crispy, saucy. Best wings I’ve had in a long time. We got the Buffalo blue. Great sauce! Not too bluey right about of heat. Friendly guys. Highly recommend. 10 stars“

“First time dining here, it was a fairly busy Saturday night. The atmosphere is really unique with the old schoolhouse vibe! Very cool but it did get pretty loud as the evening progressed. The food is excellent, the service is average. The food is definitely worth another trip so we will try again! 4 stars…“

“Food & service were spot on! Will definitely go back.“

“We had such great service at Tullys, N Syracuse Angelina knew the menu well and could recommend great drinks. She was also very friendly we will be definitely coming back next time in town visiting family. The chicken tenders were so good too.“

“Full full full full full full“

“Always an enjoyable experience. Food is great and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Best ribs around . Fun atmosphere.“

“New menu is awesome! A ton of great options for everyone and very reasonable price point. I love a deal! Staff is always quick and attentive. Brunch is the best on the East Side. Joe, Randy and Laura are crushing it!!“

“The cheese sauce is amazing! Even our little dairy intolerant one loves the Mac and cheese. When Grubhub failed to deliver our order, Jarred went the extra mile to make sure we got our food while we are home sick. Good food, good people! The best kind of comfort any time of year.“

“Our family has looked forward to our Easter meal at the Inn for the past several years. We were not disappointed with our Easter meal there today! Everything was delicious (as usual), filets were cooked perfectly as were the pork and lamb chops. Grandchildren enjoyed their pasta and all of us enjoyed the sides that were served. We can never leave the Inn without one of the many delicious dessert offerings. As I said before, the quality of their menu and preparation has never disappointed! The staff of the Inn are always friendly and accommodating to your needs! If you’ve never dined at The Inn of the Seasons, I highly encourage you to try it!“

“AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10“

“we loved the whiskey coop from the second we walked in. the atmosphere is top notch. The decor is absolutely stunning. our food was phenomenal. I had the blue bird. It was outstanding. Kayla was our waitress, she was amazing. we can't wait to go back.“

“We had a wonderful dinner on a Thursday evening. We were early so the restaurant was quiet. We loved everything we ate starting with the scotch and wine, the tinned fish appetizer, then the halibut and the steak frites, followed by the lemon raspberry cake and the chocolate peanut butter cake. Everything was superbly cooked and beautifully plated. Excellent service. We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family.“

“The food and service were both excellent!!!“

“We were in Syracuse from WNY for a concert. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at 317! Our meals were outstanding (piri piri chicken, filet and tiramisu for dessert), service was great (thanks Donna & Joel) and we loved the vibe here. Will definitely visit again.“

“Ate here for the first time on my lunch break today. There is an accessible entry ramp around the side of the building. It leads to the kitchen door, though, so I advise you to call ahead if you need to use it. There was only 1 server on this afternoon, and they handled things like a champ! I had the oreo french toast and it was delightful! It was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so; chocolatey, but without being so rich that you quit halfway through. Having a dessert for a meal that still felt like "real food" and not like I was just giving in to my inner-kid (well, maybe a little) was exactly the pick-me-up I needed on a dreary day like today. Because I'm a dope, I forgot my wallet back in the office. They do offer tap-to-pay here, but for whatever reason, my phone didn't want to cooperate. I offered to leave something behind as collateral while I ran back to work to grab my wallet, and the server actually comped my meal! They absolutely did not have to do that. I would've been more than happy to come back and pay. It was my own fault, anyway! I will definitely return another day (with my wallet!) and am so grateful for the kindness and understanding I received today.“

“My wife and I went for a date night. The atmosphere was great, the decor was amazing. We got there early and sat on one of the couches. The hostess was pleasant and accommodating. We were sat at a table by the window. Our server Sierra was very nice and welcoming. We ordered the poutine for an appetizer. It was amazing, so delicious. There was enough for 4 people. I ordered the pork chop, it was so tender and full of flavor. My wife ordered the Tanglewood chicken. That was amazing. The crispy fried chicken skin and collard greens were so good. The chicken was tender and juicy my wife said. We did not get dessert, I cannot eat too much due to having gastric bypass. We do not drink alcohol so no reviews on their drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful date night.“

“Always consistent great food and atmosphere. Burgers and other sandwiches are amazing!!“

“We enjoyed Mother's Day Brunch at Redfield's this morning and it was excellent. They offered a lovely spread of breakfast and lunch items, including an omelette station, french toast bake, fruit, salads, chicken, and incredible freshly baked desserts (truffles, cream pies, bars). Terri, our waitress, was attentive and pleasant and the manager watched over the whole operation carefully. We have gone to other brunches and nothing compares. Other places are crowded and just not very special. We will return to next year.“

“Decent food (breakfast, burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. and etc.) and friendly service. Service might rush you through to their own detriment, though. Come in for lunch and they assume you don't want dessert (at least, they did with us). Had a decent brownie from them, though, after "insisting."“

“loved the upscale atmosphere! I was there for a surprise birthday party .we had hors d'oeuvres.... delicious!!“

“Great atmosphere with amazing dishes.“

“This place is phenomenal. We were in the area and wanted to try something new. Looked up places nearby and this one came up.

Right from walking in the door we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Our waiter promptly came over with menus and water.

We also got fresh bread with seasonings and parmesan and oil on the table to go with it.

Our appetizer was the poutine which came with roast beef and was so incredibly tender.

We also got the dip sandwich and the short rib grilled cheese. Both were amazing and loaded with meat. We could only eat half our sandwich before we were full.

Everything came out quickly and our cups were never empty.

The service from everyone was the best I've had in a long time and the food was phenomenal.

We'll be enjoying our leftovers and definitely be coming back.“

“Best place to have a party in event room. Maria is the best to work with. Responded very quickly to inquire of room for my father’s birthday celebration. Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!“

“Great place! I was kindly greeted by the sweet girls when I walked in, and they were very accommodating to me and my kids needs. The waitress we had was great and so friendly! She was very helpful and did an amazing job providing us service. The food was delicious as always. And as we left the managers and hostesses continued to be so polite to us, and made our stay wonderful! Highly recommend this place!“

“Without question the most underrated diner in the county! I have zero complaints about this place. Great food and great service!“

“The Mrs. and I stopped in today (8/8/24) for the first time and had some lunch. The special was delicious (Belly Stuffer Philly cheese steak), and only $9.50 with fries and free refills on the soda fountain! I upgraded to a beer with mine, which only costs me $10.50! The owner, Josh, was very nice, as was the bar maid. The bathrooms were spotless, too. We sat at an outside table and really enjoyed our first visit. I read some old reviews that were negative, but I can say that was not our experience. We'll definitely be back again for more. Also, I can't believe how reasonable the prices were, considering the ludicrous inflation, and I'm sure setting up shop in Fayetteville isn't a cheap venture. So... great service, great food, great prices, friendly folks; a nice little nook off the beaten path. They get an A+++ from me!!“

“I can’t even begin to explain how nice and accommodating the staff was. I have never and I mean never have been to a place with staff as nice as them. I was not expecting that because it’s just a fast place to eat lunch but let me tell you, the service is outstanding. Really made my day.“

“I can not say enough great things about this little gem of a place. Wish we knew about it sooner. The fresh homemade soups are amazing and the pies are unbelievable.For Thanksgiving my mother-in-law always makes the pies but due to health issues couldn't this year. We asked around and heard about this place taking homemade pie orders. Stopped in to check it out and ended enjoying homemade soup, a great breakfast sandwich and ended taking home a whole pie after placing our order.We ordered 9 pies and 8 were different types of pies and even special ordered one type of pie not on their extensive list. They were so accommodating about what we thought was a huge request and even let us pick up these pies on Wed afternoon before Thanksgiving and they were all FRESH!!! And while grabbing the pies we took advantage of that days homemade soup and had a fantastic dinner that evening with the soup.Talk about a hit on Thanksgiving!! Pies were fresh and delicious. Crust unbelievably flaky and tasty. the whipped cream on the cream pies were incredible and fresh. Not like you get in restaurants but like mom makes. The chocolate cream pie was the best we all had ever hadWe special ordered a custard pie which my mother-in-law always makes and it did not disappoint. It was mother-in-law approved as tasting like she had made it. The best comment from her was she was never making pies again and she wants us to order our Christmas pies from here too!!Truly a fantastic find and can't wait to try one of the fish dinners and their chili everyone talks about.“

“I love this place and I make sure to visit every time I’m in Syracuse. The portions are generous, and the place is extremely satisfying if you’re looking for a sports bar atmosphere. But for now, I’ll stick with the burgers, wings and fries. I tried the “Tipp Dip” Wednesday special recently and although the price was great, I found it very stringy and hard to chew through certain portions. Also, I’m there to watch sports, so I really hope they turn off the news. The situation in our government today is too overcharged and polarized. Many people are very angry, so politics should be avoided in a fun sports bar, IMHO. I come there to ESCAPE politics… to lose myself in live, or even pre-recorded sports action. Other than that, these guys do a fantastic job, and considering how much food they have to prepare so quickly, it’s awe inspiring to watch them in the kitchen!“

“The food was absoulutely delicious blue cheese burger cooked just right nice and juicy. Mac salad also was delicious. Beautiful inside. Bartender and waitress was excellent. Also when I called they were very pleasant and answered my questions.would definitely go again to try the chicken wings. Keep up the good work. Gerrie

Parking: Great“

“We ordered for the first time tonight, and I just wanted to say that everything was absolutely wonderful, even ordered it for pick up and I can't tell you the last time I had such a great meal to go. The fried chicken was incredible as well as the sides. So kudos to you and your staff! Keep doing what you do!! We will be back and recommending to friends. Thanks, Jen Bockus“

“I've been here a few times, and the food is really good! The last time I got the "shake that honey maker" which was awesome and filled me up for literally the entire day. I wish it was a little spicier, but it was worth it in the end.“

“We hired Karen’s Catering of Syracuse for our wedding reception with 115 guests. From the moment I spoke with Andrea, I knew that she was a high quality, experienced caterer. We had so many options to create the dinner of our dreams and it was executed perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with this company.“
