15 Best American Restaurants in Defiance

“Local place or chain, there's no better breakfast in Defiance. Best sausage gravy in town and best hash browns ever. And the staff being friendly just puts this place over the top.“

“always spot on with great food and friendly service.“

“Good Food with wide variety of choices on menu“

“Absolutely LOVED this place!!! Happened to drop in and met Rozco the brewmaster himself!!! He gave me some samples and did NOT disappoint!!! By far the best beer I have ever had. His personal creation Moster Cookie ended as my favorite. I also loved the Green Mountain and Forktober Fest. Disappointed my husband could not join me, I flew back to Montana with a few of my favorites!!10,000% will visit again!“

“My favorite Eric’s location! This locally owned ice cream shop is such a community staple and the owner supports the community generously.

We always have a great experience whenever we visit, and my kids are always asking to go back. There are so many delicious homemade flavors to choose from, but the monster cookie is a must try.

If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth stopping in. This place deserves all the support!!!!“

“Was in Defiance last weekend with friends. We were looking for a place to have lunch and I had seen on the Valentine Theater site that Ensign’s was where Maag’s used to be and they had a lot of the same menu. Went there years ago, before 1980, and was pleasantly surprised with the lunch. Had the roast beef, knockers, chips & draft beer. Everything was great and the prices are very reasonable. We all had a good time and my friends were happy that I suggested going here. Keep up the good work!“

“Everything we’ve tried at cosmos has been delicious!!! The workers are attentive and very efficient! We drive from Toledo to eat here! Also love your potato soup!!!!“

“I'll start with the best part. The root beer is so good!! We usually have to grab a gallon to bring home. It just hits differently than anywhere else in town. I was slightly disappointed this season it appeared the chili sauce was changed. It was a different color. The flavor was slightly off. Not bad but not great. I don't like that when using a debit card there is no where on the receipt to leave a tip. It is a great place for a little nostalgia. I have been going to the root beer stand since I was a kid. Gone are the days of goofy golf. I would love if they did that again. It would be fun to experience that with my kids. A Foot long chilli dog with cheese and onion and a bag of Andi Caps has been my favorite thing to get since I was probably old enough to order it. The chicken sandwiches are great too.“

“They definitely were so kind, loved my server! She was very attentive in a great way. Hooked my mash potatoes up with gravy... I know why is this important? I didn't have to ask, you hear me. She was a 11/10. The food was really good! Definitely have to come back.“

“Brittany is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST“

“We are visiting from out of state, the pizza was delicious and the wings were as well! Super Bowl was playing on multiple tvs while we enjoyed our mixed drinks too:)“

“Best seafood for the money, get real plates and silverware, and the food and staff are great!!!“

“Cristina was a wonderful waitress“

“We ate here twice bc we had great service and great food. Seating was quick, no wait. The servers (both visits) were quick to come to the table, take the orders, and checked on us. The food was delivered in a reasonable time, the wings were hot from the kitchen, and tasted great. Old reviews weren't so great, but our experience was great so good on the management for making changes - it's working.“

“I did not eat at this establishment today, but I am a dasher. And today what I witnessed was a very hardworking bartender her name is Keira. I hope I spelled that right lol. Through the stress she persevered! I witnessed another employee at the establishment that kept just wondering around aimlessly not making any efforts to help anybody and then when offered to be taught something that employee would stand there for a second and then would take off randomly and you would not see that employee again. And this is not my first time of witnessing that every time I come to pick an order up this is the same thing I see all the time from that employee.
And I see the same thing from the bartender every time she is always busting her butt very busy doing everything she can for her customers and not just her customers but she's helping out her coworkers with their customers to make sure everybody is taking care of she goes above and beyond and she deserves the praise and the recognition! And as somebody that has personally done the same and has went unnoticed, I wanted to personally make sure that that bartender knows that at least somebody saw and it didn't go unnoticed. So to that bartender keep up the excellent work and don't let anybody ruin your shine!“
