48 Best American Restaurants near Lewis Center

“I stopped by for a quick Iftar after work because I didn’t have time to cook, and they were absolutely amazing. They kindly offered me a date and a drink to break my fast, which meant so much after a long day. The hospitality was beautiful and the food was honestly the best! This is literally my favorite place to go when I’m not cooking at home. Highly recommend!“

“First Watch always has great, quality food. Great service and atmosphere at this location. We have one of those vegans in our group. She always enjoys the visit. 12/6 back again for another serving of great food and service. 2/22/26 They did it again. Great place to eat,“

“Natalie is amazing. The service she provides is always very kind and she’s always happy. The food is great too!!“

“First time here coming to see a friend's band play. Leaving this review specifically to mention that the service was excellent! I've been to a lot of establishments like this in the past, but this was the first one where the servers (sorry if that's not the right term) were regularly checking on us AT OUR TABLE to make sure we had everything we needed. The only time we needed to get something at the bar was when we first arrived.

I ordered the spicy garlic wings there and they were PERFECTLY cooked and sauced! The only reason I couldn't eat them all was because I ordered too many! The live show sounded good as well (clear audio and not overly loud) and their lighting setup was one if the best I've seen locally.

Very good experience here. Wouldn't hesitate at all to come back! Thanks for taking such good care of us!“

“This is a great Skyline.

The food is always hot and fresh. I've only used their drive thru but the service is phenomenal. They're always kind and efficient. The outside is clean and well maintained. I also like the promotions they have posted around the building.“

“The food and service at this Bob Evans in Lewis center was very good. Jose was a good server!“

“Ranchero Tots were top notch!“

“Had our birthday dinner last night with 18 people and we were treated like royalty!!! Got a reservation no problem. We sat outside and it was going to begin storming so they closed the canopy around us. They turned on fun twinkly lights, swept up. Most importantly, when it began raining so hard, we couldn’t hear and it started to come through the canopy, they didn’t care at all that we took our large group inside!!!! Most of all, there are not enough words to say about our waitress, Robin. The best service we have EVER had anywhere. She treated everyone like family, no one ever waited for a thing!!! Not for food, not water, not drinks, not napkins, not anything. No one even had issues with their bills even though this large group was all separate and moved all over the place. Everyone in our group expressed how amazing she was and how not a thing went wrong or unnoticed or not taken care of. She is a wonderful person and a master of her job. Thank you Robin and the rest of the staff!!!“

“So much fun! Glad we had reservations so we had actual seats. I would hate to stand all night. Our server, Alexis, was phenomenal! Friendly, attentive, and when we asked for napkins bc of the condensation from our glasses causing our table to be wet, she went a step further and came back with a wet rag and cleaned our whole table!“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“We had Culver’s ice cream catered at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Nick Donahue, the GM of Powell, and his team were wonderful. Thank you, thank you! 5 ⭐️!!“

“Stopped in for happy hour-ordered the KFC bites, fried green tomatoes, and deviled eggs. All 3 were fantastic! The entrees were delicious and the cocktails were incredible! Service was also top tier!“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“Consistently great food! I love the chicken kopanisti gyro. It’s been my go-to meal for years. Customer service is always great. The owner, Genti, is very friendly and personable and always stops to say “hi” when he sees me. He pours so much time and effort into his business and the efforts are very apparent. It’s also an excellent place if you’re into bourbons.“

“Highly recommend! We visited on a busy Friday night, but the service remained top-notch. They are very accommodating for gluten-free needs; my server even confirmed with the kitchen that my meal was safe, which I truly appreciated. The pot roast was outstanding, perfectly prepared and flavorful. The rest of our party loved the smash burger and steak frites as well. We are already looking forward to our next visit!“

“Delicious food and amazing service by Ben!!!! Highly recommend.“

“The Morgan House is our go to place when my friend, Candy, comes to visit. we always shop and have lunch there, too. Our latest visit on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 was exceptional!! Lunch was amazing. We both had the chicken salad basket and now we can't wait to go back. Our Server Kelci was so nice, efficient and so professional. A major GOLD STAR for her. she made our lunch time experience so pleasant. We hope she is still there for our next visit. Thank you, Kelci“

“Excellent food and great service at the Delaware location“

“The patio dining is picturesque, check my photos. This place beats everyone in the entire area; Service, food quality, the daily fish specials, and drinks are marvelous. The smoked salmon dip is bomb, and you’ve never had a deviled egg as good as theirs- no joke. Unbelievable.“

“Wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Our waitress, McKenzie, was delightful and most helpful in giving us input on selection choices. We enjoyed the patio and our whole first experience here. Definitely will return.“

“great bar! awesome bartenders! Great music venue! but they need work on their mac and watery cheese.“

“Awesome survive, quick on getting food out. Refills are quick too. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of too much was the paper straws. I still do recommend! 🤍🤍🤍“

“I had heard good things so I took my GF for a date night to Firebirds. We showed up to our reservation and it was busy, but we didn’t wait long. The atmosphere was great, the place had a great vibe, and our service was excellent. We both ordered their 3 course special and our favorite part was the brownie sundae! Also I hate deviled eggs and tolerated them…my gf loves deviled eggs and was obsessed! The steak and sides were good but the steak was on the crispy side. Still loved it!“

“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we tried was presented so nice!! Loaded with flavor & fresh ingredients !!! Would definitely recommend!!! Total 10!!!❤️“

“This restaurant was a great find during 614 restaurant week. Have been back 3 times since. The service has been outstanding!! Food quality and menu diversity is awesome!! Website does not show full menu for lunch. But for me, a top 5 place to eat. Then again, maybe I don't get out enough.“

“Gabriella was an exceptional server, deserving a perfect 10 out of 10. She delivered our food promptly and consistently checked on us, ensuring we never felt neglected despite having several tables. Her recommendation to try dessert was so convincing that I decided to indulge, even though I typically skip dessert when dining out. Her suggestion was truly delightful.“

“they could put their salad dressing on a brick and i’d still eat it. north star is my favorite restaurant but there is something so special about this SPECIFIC location. it’s mine & my boyfriend’s favorite place ever. he loves the steak and it’s perfect EVERY TIME. I LOVE YOU NORTHSTAR“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“Have been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it in today with my best friend, what a disappointment. Their posted hours show open till 2:30 pm, we arrived at 1:50 (plenty of time for some pancakes and coffee.) The weight staff was in full on cleanup mode and made it Very obvious they were done working for the day with the way we were greeted. I ordered decaf coffee and was told there was none left so decided to have regular and then didn't even get a full cup of that. At $4.99 a pop I need a full cup. I looked at my friend and said "they don't want to wait on us they are annoyed that they are already cleaning up and we came in" she agreed so when the server came back I politely said "we will just elsewhere we can tell you're cleaning up for the day" There was no "oh you are fine, you still have 40 minutes" or anything like that there just " are you sure?" We left and headed down the street to Delaney's Diner who would also be closing in about an hour at 3 PM but a TOTALLY different vibe. Greeted with a smile from the person at the hostess stand and 2 of the chefs even looked over and smiled and said welcome come on in! We looked at each other and said much better, we are definitely in the right place now. I've heard nothing but good things about the pancakes at the Pancake House I only wish I would have got to experience them But being treated well is more important to me than food. I understand wanting to be done work for the day believe me but it wasn't like we walked in with 3 minutes till closing. Oh well 🤷‍♀️“

“Excellent from start to finish“

“Great tasting food. Small town vibe. Personable staff.“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

“We come to this location every month for a professionals luncheon in their event space upstairs. The team takes such amazing care of us. James is extremely accommodating and always communicates back quickly. Stew always checks in after our lunches to make sure the service was good. Giovanni takes such good care of us, always patient and kind, always in a good mood. He makes it such a good experience for us. The food is always hot and fresh, and it is always good. Highly recommend for just casual dining or if you have an event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Food and service were exceptional. Atmosphere was very nice. Decor is bright and cheerful. Food was delicious and served hot. Timing of drinks and food was spot on. Wait staff anticipated needs and brought extra napkins without us needing to even ask. The taste of the food was most impressive. Will definitely return and show this establishment love. They surely earned it!“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“We love to see more organic restaurants in the area. The only downside is that they don't accept cash which is strange and excludes some potential customers.“

“Was able to eat and drink in the restaurant 2 nights in a row. The staff and chef is amazing. We normally stay at the hotel once a year and because of the restaurant experience this weekend we will now make this more than once a year event. I definitely recommend the Ribeye and the chef’s sides.“

“Really enjoyed our Saturday night dinner celebration for 9 of us celebrating my grandson’s UC graduation. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was outstanding! The short ribs special was very good and we all agreed that the bay scallops and shrimp risotto is an outstanding dish! The entire staff is very friendly and for a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed excellent service! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant in downtown. Go a little ahead of reservation…downtown parking is somewhat limited. Thanks for a terrific celebration, Whitney House!“

“Great visit. Food was good and our waitress April provided exceptional service.“

“First time dining here. Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for a night away that we don't get often. We were not disappointed. Nicholas was our server and he did a wonderful job. Very informative on menu and very kind. Food was delicious! Will be back for sure.“

“10 out of 10. Food and staff were both fantastic. Highly recommend“

“Exceptional dinner experience! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and everyone was so great. They gave us a rose for the table and complimentary dessert. Our server was attentive and helpful. The food, as usual, was amazing! We had the walleye and scallops paired with salads and creme brule.“

“My favorite Tim Hortons! Everyone is so friendly, but I tell you, Antonio goes above and beyond! He’s always cheerful, asks how your Day is, and just puts me in a better mood from the fraction of interaction with him. Truly a great person!“

“Absolutely Enjoy every breakfast meal. My favorite is the Cheesy grits“

“First time dining here. Enjoyed a late Saturday lunch with friends. Great service with a smile, fresh and tasty food. Will be back.“
