50 Best American Restaurants near Berea

“We did a private party for our 50th wedding anniversary on 9/21/24. Everything was fantastic including the staff, the food and the atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. June was super helpful. We grew up in the neighborhood and this was the perfect place. Highly recommend for a private party.“

“Great place! Nice menu to choose from. Reasonably priced too! Friendly, efficient staff too!“

“I am so disappointed I didn't know about this place sooner. I've lived in and around Berea most of my life and somehow drove past here at least a few times a month without ever noticing it. The owner personally greeted us when we came in, made sure we felt welcomed, our server was fantastic; attentive, accurate with our orders, and also funny, I appreciated that she picked up on the vibe of our table and played off some of our jokes with each other and made sure we never had an empty glass for long. The only reason I can't give a full five stars on the food category is that the clam chowder was, no offense, genuinely one of the worst soups I've ever had in my entire life, but the other soup (Chicken tort.) and all the appetizers I tried, as well as the patty melt I had as my main course were tasty enough to make up for the clam chowder. Reasonably priced beer on tap, diverse food menu with some real interesting options, friendly staff, and a convenient location. I absolutely intend to come back soon.“

“Love this place.
The owner Mike is cool.
The staff it super friendly.
They give you a lot of food.
Very chill old school pub vibes with good music.
Outdoor patio is great this time of year.
We go here frequently to unwind.
Berea is a beautiful place.“

“Our meal was great! Kid-friendly. Great service! Comfortable local restaurant that was moderately busy, but not packed and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Trivia night. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Rice bowl with chicken, boneless wings, burger, and turkey Rachel sandwich. Ryan brought out our apps and kept checking on us. We wouldn’t hesitate to return when we’re in the area!“

“Our favorite dinner spot ..the salmon sandwich, chicken sandwich and chicken salad melt are our first choices. All their soups.. and Irish Stout is excellent too.“

“The patio is pet friendly and great food. The staff is always kind.“

“I've eaten at Tony K's throughout the years. I've always got delicious food at a good value. So it was without hesitation that I placed a catering order for food from Tony K's for a party. I ordered 4 of their large sheet pizzas & a six foot sub. I had the order delivered to the place where the party was being held. The order was delivered on time which was important because it was a surprise party & I didn't want the food to show up at the same time as the guest of honor. The food was delicious! Everyone was asking me where the pizza & sub was from because they thought it was awesome & tasty. Because the food was delivered, the sub & pizzas was already cut into manageable pieces which made it easy for people to just grab a slice. If I do another large party, I would definitely consider having Tony K's catering it. Until then, I'll be happy to just have a delicious meal at their Berea establishment.“

“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

“Everything was amazing. So many great choices on the menu that I'll be back soon to work my way through it. Highly recommend the fried pickles as a starter.“

“Roula was an amazing bartender. She made our experience memorable. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“We had my mom’s 90th birthday party with 28 guests at the Westlake location this morning. Because we are regulars there, Nick the manager bent the rules a wee bit to allow us to have the back area, near the bar for our party right at opening time on a Saturday. The service by wait staff Mary and Lauren was fabulous, every one of us LOVED our food and your hospitality was off the charts! Thank you again for allowing us to have this 90th in the best of all places for our youngest family member (age one) and all the way up! Love, love, love Kitchen Social. Ps. My pimento burger and ceasar salad were ‘da bomb’!“

Our guest raved about how much they loved the food. A lot of them said it’s some of the best wedding food they’ve had. We appreciate you Mike and the staff for making it possible for our big day. Thank you!!!“

“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“Great place to enjoy great food, fast and friendly service and fellowship. Best pancakes in town!“

“Really neat atmosphere! You have to walk around to take everything in (and be sure to look up). The food was all great & the kids flat bread pizza & grilled cheese were cooked perfectly (very important when you have picky kids). A hidden gem...literally, kinda hard to tell it's a restaurant from the road.“

“I like the industrial atmosphere inside of the place. My wife and I both got walleye fish frys. They were $20 a piece and maybe I'm spoiled because I'm from the Milwaukee area, but the three midsize pieces of walleye really didn't cut it. There could have been at least one more piece. I felt like I paid $5 for fish and 15 for french fries The waitress was attentive and pleasant.“

“Friendly and kind staff! Was looking for an inexpensive option for our family of 9 while passing through. Not only were they accommodating to our rather big party in such a small space but they’re so nice! Small town vibes and friendly conversation everywhere! Then to top it all off the food was exactly what we expected and then some! Great flavors on simple dishes! No notes to be had at all! Thank you guys! If we’re ever passing through again this will be our go to!“

“Might just be one of the best burgers from a fast food joint that I have ever eaten. The Pretzel Bits were almost as good as the burger. I could eat those all day long. Service was very good and the tables were clean.
I highly recommend Culver's for my overall positive experience and a sublime burger! Will definitely be back.
5 Stars.“

“We had dinner at White Oaks tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I splurged on the twin lobster tails. The very generous sized tails, served with drawn butter, were perfectly cooked, fresh and wonderful. My sides of vegetables and twice baked potato were equally yummy. Dessert was a wonderful creme broulee. Service was spot on professional. One of the best meals I've had in a long time.“
