35 Best American Restaurants near Lithopolis

“The pizza was so good that I immediately started planning my next order before I had even finished the first one. The wings disappeared so fast that I’m convinced they evaporated. The food came out hot, the drinks were cold, and the atmosphere was exactly what you’d want from a hometown spot!“

“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 service was just as impressive. Friendly, fast, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was right and treated me like a valued customer.

If you’re looking for great food with great service, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend My Big Fat Gyros—I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“went to Harvest Moon Craft Kitchen expecting a good meal and left wondering if I should start a fan club.

Everything was fantastic… from the food to the atmosphere to the service. Every bite was one of those “you have to try this” moments that turns into everyone at the table stealing food from each other’s plates. The drinks were great“

It was cajun restaurant delicious, and apple pie with a gallop of vanilla ice cream-- once I took off the sugar laden crust, sooo glad I had room for 🍨--my waitress brought me some pecans because apple pie MUST have walnuts..lol..but they only had pecans-- situation was sooo sweet of her.

“After taking our pet to the vet, we stopped into Birch Tavern for dinner. We sat on the patio since it was a nice day. The food was delivered fast and was delicious. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was good. My wife had the birch club sandwich, and I had the boneless chicken wings. They were comparable in size to Roosters. I enjoyed our experience there.“

“It was my first time in Ohio and read about this place. Stopped in and had an amazing conversation with the owners. They were unfortunately closed due to technical issues but offered me a free Sample platter for my troubles. It was one the sweetest acts of kindness I’ve experienced in so long. The real selling point was the food though. The brisket was juicy and flavorful and the greens were the best I’ve ever had. Looking forward to coming back and trying the a jerk chicken.“

“As a first-generation Haitian American with a few travel experiences from a major city like Chicago, I have to say—this is the best Caribbean plate I’ve ever had!

The portion was generous and balanced: just the right amount of rice, plenty of flavorful chicken, and perfectly cooked plantains. Everything tasted fresh, wholesome, and full of love.

The price was well below the value for what you get — honestly a great deal! I’ll definitely be back more often to try the mac & cheese and other menu options. This is one of the best holistic, healthy meals I’ve had in a long time!“

“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.“

“The visit to this location was Absolutely Amazing today. Angela the server was so sweet and took such good care of us at the table. This was actually the best food I've ever eaten from a Bob Evans! We had to meet the cook! Her name was Jackie and this sweet girl can cook!!! Seriously give these ladies a raise before someone else snatches them up. Just an amazing experience. Thank you both tremendously!!“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“Service and food was outstanding.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“I just left the store off of Hamilton rd in Columbus. Myself, mom and friend come here about once a week for breakfast. As we were leaving this morning, our friend Roberta tripped over the rug and fell hard. She hit her head, possibly broke her hip. She’s at the hospital as we speak. I wanted to immediately let everyone know what a wonderful person that you have working for you. I regret that I don’t know her name but she checks us out at the register most every week. At the very moment that she saw Roberta fall, she ran to her side. She sat with her the entire time and held her hand. I am amazed and you all should be very proud to have her on your team. When we were all in a panic, she kept her calm and in turn kept Roberta calm. She sat holding the door open and holding Roberta’s hand the whole time. Clear up til the ambulance arrived, she stayed there on the floor with her. We are so thankful that she was there. She deserves an award. She deserves the highest praise possible. The world needs so much more of her. Please let her know immediately that she was seen and she is a wonderful person. Jay was also extremely helpful and stayed there with us the whole time, accommodating whatever was needed. You have some very wonderful people there and I really hope that they get recognized. We really were blown away by their kindness and concern. We appreciate all of you so much!“

“we entered the bob Evans and approached the host and requested a table of three the young man was very polite and clearly had some type of a disability and needed help at the podium multiple times he went and spoke with his manager and all he would tell him is people needed to wait instead of overwhelming this young man with frustrated customers the manager should have stepped in to help assist I was very disappointed with the management and staff leaving the poor host out to dry and had we got any attention at all from anyone besides the host I would have let them know how disgusting I thought it was needless to say after about 20 minutes and a waiting room full of people we decided to head to another place to eat as a crowded room and a rowdy toddler don't mesh well only certain tables are open to be seated in and staff seems like they are falling apart it's disappointing and not at all what it used to be“
