50 Best American Restaurants near Carroll

“Fillin' Station in Carroll is the kind of place you walk into as a stranger and leave feeling like family. Burgers and steaks? Absolutely fantastic and priced just right. The beer is always cold, the staff is fun and accommodating, and their nightly entertainment—like Cowboy Karaoke and Music Bingo—always keeps things lively. We host an annual wing night on our patio and always order wings from Fillin’ Station—they’re always cooked to perfection and get rave reviews from everyone. This is the ultimate neighborhood spot. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“The Fish & Chips are amazing, and some of the best Cole Slaw in the business! Also really great breakfast offerings!“

“My family and I got a pep and cheese pizza and the sausage potato soup. The food was really good ! I drove about 20 mins home and the food was still hot. As soon as I walked over to the bar I was assisted. The wait for the food wasn’t long at all. . The lady that helped me was nice. Very clean.“

“We had a rehearsal dinner at El Parian Steaks & Tequila. They have a back room that seats up to 60 people. They were absolutely wonderful to work with, reasonable in price, and very accommodating. They gave us the option to pick 4 menu items off the menu for our guests to choose from or the options of - taco, fajita, or nacho bar. We chose the fajita and nacho bar. The food was hot and ready when we arrived. The guacamole here tastes so good! They even packed up the leftover food for us! Their staff were very attentive and kind. We will definitely recommend them to others. Wonderful job! 👏👏👏“

“Our first time here, 10/26/25. Cute little, local spot. We got the hush puppies for an appetizer and they were delicious. My burger was so good!! Excellent fries. My husband got the pulled pork Mac & cheese, it was also really good. Cocktail was just okay. We definitely want to return!“

“I have celiac disease and have hard a time finding food that isn’t contaminated, especially pizza. The staff reassured me that they checked with kitchen multiple times to make sure nothing was being contaminated. It was by far the most delicious gluten free pizza I’ve had so far !“

“My wife and I loved the chicken and waffles and fish and chips! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and so friendly! And PBJ wings and pepper infused Vodka is fantastic as well! We will definitely be back to visit.“

“Had a family Christmas get together (party of 8) Tuesday Dec 23 at Max and Ermas Lancaster. I want to say my food was great as were the kids meals and my wife seemed to enjoy her Great American Burger! The complaints I had were less about the food but rather the attentiveness in the service. We left what was over $20 tip on a $102 ticket so the waitress was more than compensated. My mom was a waitress most of her life and so our family has always tipped. Service would have to be nonexistent for us to no tip but many would have said the kind of service received during this visit was no where near a $20 tip. At no point were we ever preemptively asked for drink refills. Max and Ermas now has fry refills much like Red Robin but again at no time were we ever asked for such. We did get asked when the food was brought out if we needed anything else but at NO point did a manager or staff member ask how the food was or check in from a customer service perspective. The ticket could have easily earned another $15-$20 higher even with suggestions of ice cream for the kids or appetizers. I wanted to share this because as stated while from a food taste perspective most of our food was terrific (The Larado Steak was way too tough) the quality of service would probably make me think about a visit again soon!“

“Hubby and I ordered take out while the kids were away since they brought back Nashville hot. We both ordered tenders Mac n cheese he got fries and I got the baked potato. Arrived at curbside for my order waited for about 10 minutes even though I arrived 8 minutes after my pick up time. I was missing a Mac n cheese so I had to go in not that big of a deal.. no one at the Togo stand so a guy from the kitchen comes out and asks how he can help I told him I was missing a Mac n cheese and asked if the portion of the other one was correct he said okay went back to the kitchen and sent the manager out. Manager explained that is the correct portion no big deal I work for a corporate restaurant so I know how it goes. He went to get me another Mac and cheese and it took an additional ten minutes not sure why because I could see 7+ kitchen staff just hanging out in the kitchen with not so many tables in the dining room on a Friday night. I could hear a lady in the dining room telling her kids that she got her dessert before she even got her meal even though everyone else had finished eating, looked like only two servers were on. I asked the manager to compensate me for the inconvenience and the fact that my food was now twenty minutes over due. He was professional and listened to my concerns and compensated me. Food was good seems like they changed the sauce, Mac n cheese was bomb and the baked potato was nothing you couldn't get at home very plain and I had to put it together myself. Will go back to o'charlies but probably not this location. I completely get the food industry and it just seemed like the staff could of been ran a little tighter considering they weren't busy and done in and carryout were having problems. Things happen maybe it was just an off night I appreciate the manager taking care of me forgot to get his name.“

“My Dad and I stopped in for dinner this evening and both of our dinners were incredibly delicious. We each had the specials, the stuffed salmon and pork shank, and we both decided they were some of the best dishes we’ve had out in a while. Our server was Ellen I believe and she was very friendly as well.“

“Had a great lunch with family today at JB's. I didn't do justice to the sandwich. It was so Big! We were going someplace else and I couldn't take it with me. It was good. My friends really liked what they got. I would recommend it to anyone going to Lancaster.“

“A great place with good food and good people. I try to swing through anytime I'm in the area for work. The staff and locals all make you feel like one of them. Highly recommend!“

“Do not miss this hidden gem! The food is so good and they’re very accommodating to vegetarians. The staff was so nice and sweet too! Soooo excited to finally find omurice in Ohio!!“

“I hate that it's always an hour wait to get a table.. and let's be honest, it's so much better fresh than Togo. The food keeps us coming back, despite the long wait (although sometimes we bail and go to that *other* wing place and get disappointed)“

“Ribs were hot and delicious, smothered chicken was cold and dry. peighton the waitress wasn't impressive. She didn't bring our appetizer until after our meal arrived. She checked on the table next to ours 3 times and refilled their drinks before she got to ours. No veterans discount even though I wore a vet hat and Army polo shirt. poor. just poor this time. usually very good.“

“One of my favorite spots!“

“I got fried shrimp..fried oysters s and coleslaw..everything was awesome..“

“My boyfriend and I went up over the weekend and they were packed! We had to wait for them to clean a table but we didn’t mind. Food came out so fast we couldn’t believe it since they were so busy. We will definitely be back! Sad it took us so long to find this hidden gem.“

“Stopped by this great Longhorn on game day. There was a good bar. The dining room was also beautiful. Servers were friendly. WiFi was fast. There was the Buckeye game but the voice from the live game was silent.
I was not hungry, so I just ordered a cup of shrimp lobster chowder and the strawberry pecan salad. The soup was cold, so I asked for reheat. But I felt they only put it in the microwave without refilling. The strawberry pecan salad was impressive with decently sweet dressing.“

“David was the best person there“

Service was friendly, food was plenty and came out fast hot and exactly as described on the menu. For two people we had plenty and brought some home and we are big eaters. The pricing is fantastic too. Go, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Bob Evans is the epitomy of true American Farm Fresh food! We love their all-day menu too because we never know what we want from their featured signature breakfasts, NEW Banana Nut Hotcakes, homestyle Family Meals to Go, ext. at your You can conviently order online for curbside pickup or delivery or have it delivered either way it's win win . Just download the farm app! This has made ordering your homestyle favorites from Bob Evans easier than ever before. Plus you can save your favorite orders, pay using your phone when you dine-in, get exclusive offers and more with it too. Our visits are always a very pleasant surprise. We had a very good lunch especially their new memoesas. Their menu is extensive it still has the classic favorites with an array of new things to try too. I had their steak tip dinner while my husband had the Atlantic cod. Both were perfectly cooked, accurate, beautifully plated, hot and fresh. The service as always was excellent. Our server was very friendly, efficient, and helpful which is the norm for them rather than the luck of the draw. Our experiences with Bob Evans always sets a high standard for others to follow but opens our eyes to what we should be able to expect from not just Bob Evans in our future travels but any other restaurants we visit. We are definitely looking forward to going back and trying more of thier new menu items.! There is plenty of parking handicap or regular fast seating handicap accessible dining tables easily accessible restrooms and as always buy one of their candles on their way out because you won't find a better smelling long-lasting one than you do here or beat the price of them either Plus they have a lot of other cute items to purchase I bought my husband a t-shirt that said this body's made from bacon too cute we love you guys.“

“I brought a group to IHop today, and again had excellent service. I had called ahead to reserve side private room. Casey.waited on us today. He was very good. The manager was attentive also.
But Jayden Stone is the BEST!
Jayden Stone has waited on me numerous times, and he goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect. He has an electric personality! He is a big reason why I love eating at IHop.“

“Omgoodness! I totally recommend this location! Server and manager were amazing! We got our food quick and it was so delicious! Not one complaint amongst us 4 people. Hard to find great service and high quality food at a restaurant these days! We are usually disappointed, but this experience gave me hope that there's still good quality workers out there that take pride in what they do! They also sang, Happy Birthday to our daughter who just turned 7.“

“Service and food was outstanding.“

“Not sure if they got new staff, but service and food was great today! Our waitress, Dawn, was outstanding. She helped us along with others tables when they needed help and the front register. She was professional, sweet and checked all the food before bringing it out to customers. She’s definitely management material in our eyes!“

“Great waitresses n very friendly. Always on top of ur orders n asking if there’s anything u need.“

“This location is the best. We make large orders on a fairly regular basis and not once has the order been incorrect. When we go to pick up the food, the guy at the grill is moving quickly and accurately. Great to see. I don't know his name, but he was working tonight (11/21 at 8pm) and he's a rock star. Keep up the great work, Steak n Shake!“
