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.“

“Best place in Syracuse!! Food is incredible!! One of plates! So so so good“

“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!“

“Celebrated my daughters bridal shower today at Phoebe’s! I couldn’t have picked a better venue. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the food to the staff. Perfect day!! Thank you to all the staff for your help today.“

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

“Small space, but my wife and I have gone multiple times and always get seated within 20 minutes. Its usually at the bar, which is fine with us, but if you want a table, you may wait a bit longer.
Decent beer selection. Always a refreshing sangria selection available.
Menu and specials are always good. We often split several apps as they tend to be our favorites, but you can't go wrong.
Staff are always friendly. Bar staff are especially kind and knowledgeable.“

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

“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.“

“The service, atmosphere, food and drinks were spot on perfection. This was our first time attending and we will certainly be coming back again. Our waitress was friendly, prompt and attentative. Our drinks and appetizers wonderful, full flavored and eloquently crafted. Our dinner was paced perfectly to allow our appetizer to settle. the meals were both designed to perfection. I am the lead Furniture specialist of a local restaurant distributor and I have to say, I was very impressed with the interior design. Inside and out, this venue was beautifully designed. I love the concept of an open kitchen. Overall I rate this five stars. We had a positive experience. Can't wait for our next visit. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We had an issue recently with the take out service at Tullys in Fairmount which was a rare occurrence. The food is always consistent and service prompt. I felt it was important to share my experience with management as I knew it was not typical of this location. I was called by Allen the manager who had been a friendly face for years. He was very apologetic of the situation and appreciative of my feedback, he wanted to make it right and advised me to ask for him when we decided to dine in again. We went on a typical busy Friday night. We’ were greeted and almost immediately sat. Before our meals touched the table he came over to advise me that one of our meals was on him as a courtesy. Allen is an important part of the Tullys family and the Fairmount location. He is always friendly and cares that his customers leave satisfied. The food was nothing less than delicious, tenders and fries came out cooked perfectly and within 10 minutes of ordering. Great Job Allen and Fairmount Tullys team!“

“The food and the service here was top notch! We had the Friday specials of skirt steak and the halibut… absolutely delicious! I highly recommend coming here and if you do you have to get the tater tots!!!! They are not regular tater tots… they were little flavor bombs!! We will definitely be back!“

“We had a wonderful experience at the new CopperTop in Dewitt tonight with my family. The new space is beautiful, we loved sitting by the fireplace. The food was delicious. We had excellent service. I went with my husband, parents, and my three year old. Always nervous taking him out as he can be a bit restless and kids are sometimes viewed as an inconvenience in restaurants but our server Dominique was an angel and so good with our whole table, especially our son. He loved being surprised with an ice cream sundae and is already asking if he can go back. We will definitely be frequent fliers here!“

“Absolutely love this place!!! Great food!!!“

“everything was great except a $16 Manhattan that was too small to be considered a fair size for this drink. My mistake to accept it. I should have refused it. Everything else was perfect.“

“Love Varsity Pizza! I remember when I was younger going to SU games but swinging by Varsity’s for a slice before the game.“

“Great food, friendly service, soothing atmosphere. Will definitely return.“

“It was our first visit and my sister and I were there for a nice pre-theater dinner. We had a great experience! I love the concept of a pre-theater, themed menu. Although the choices were limited, the food was great. I had the best ever Short Rib dinner. Portion could have been a bit larger considering the $28 price. But the meat was tender and flavorful. Our server was wonderful and it was just a fun atmosphere.“

“Great place for a quick bite to eat! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, and the food's pretty damn good for the price! The breakfast sandwich was killer, I've also had the chicken cutlet sub which came with chips.. I would have definitely upgraded the 250 for the fries but oh well!“

“Great atmosphere with amazing dishes.“

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

“The York….what can I say other than AMAZING!! This place is packed and well worth it! We ordered the Poutine to start and if I would have known it was this good, it would have been my meal! But nevertheless, I ordered a Filet Mignon with Mac and cheese and it was cooked med-rare to perfection! Mac and Cheese was also amazing! I included a photo of my colleague’s pasta dish (can’t remember the name) but it was also good! If you are in downtown Syracuse don’t sleep on this one, check out The York! You won’t be disappointed!“

“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 !!“

“Having have worked there for 10+ years under Egon Heil, I can tell you this place is doing an EXCILET job. it makes me happy to walk in there. The atmosphere is amazing and the owner and his help do such a tremendous job. I am throughoy please with whom has bought Danzers. It needs that love that Egon had, that dedication. You all are doing an EXCILENT job and he would be so very proud!“

“Love this place!“

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

“went there today for dinner the food was awesome the staff took great care of the party“

“I disagree 100 percent that the riggies here taste better than Utica. They simply don’t. The portion size was great, but the chicken was so cut way too small. The sauce just didn’t hit my taste buds the same. The cheese and seasoning on the saucer for bread is just odd. Not bad, just odd. My server never checked in to ask how my food was, but he did have a lot of tables. I probably would return and order something else. Overall, it’s worth checking out. They do seem to get very busy though. Parking can be limited.“

“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“

“good food and the people that work their are very friendly. lots of antique items and handmade crafts to decorate for fall and Halloween 🎃“

“Cool bar in town. The people working there are seriously the nicest folks you'll meet, and the other people hanging out were just as friendly. We didn't eat anything, but they do have food if you're hungry. They have bands play sometimes. They have a bike night on Tuesdays! Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a laid-back place to grab a drink and chat with some friendly faces.“

“Food was fantastic, 10/10 recommend. Great prices for delicious food!“

“Best escargot, wonderful drinks and food“

“Good food , drinks & live music !“

“I love all the crew! ❤️ Big thanks from your North Dakota friend!❤️“

“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!“

“Called in an order after getting out of work before 10, I didn’t catch his name, but whoever was working the phone and kitchen tonight(the 12th), he was very personable and even dropped the fries right as I showed up and asked how I liked them cooked and made them crispy. Great customer service and awesome burgers as always“

“Thank you to the management team for replying to my review on our last visit. They were sincerely apologetic and invited us back. I will def go back as I love Applebees and perhaps this was an off day for some staff members . This did not make me happy having to write a negative review but the service was not to par that particular day, Thanks again.“

“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.“
