50 Best American Restaurants near Monroe

“This was a very nice place to have lunch at. The chicken tenders were delicious and my folks liked their burgers. But I was disappointed in the Andes avalanche custard. They didn’t have any of the mint candy for it. They did offer an alternative but I wasn’t that interested in it.“

“Our favorite Friday night spot! We visit weekly and I am finally taking time to come here and write a review. Hands down the best service, food and atmosphere! I love their menu, there are plenty of options for every one. We’ve had them accommodate large groups for us and again provide top notch service. We always request our favorite server, Dion and she never disappoints! She is friendly and so attentive to us. We appreciate her! We appreciate a close place to enjoy a great meal and spend time with friends and family! ❤️“

“I would have to say that there is a worker there named Krista who had made my order this morning and when I say it was the absolutely best sausage egg cheese melt I had ever had made that is an underestimate It was absolutely fantastic that is the taste of dedication and passion to the craft!!🙌“

“Always a great experience at the Monroe location! Great food and service!“

“Audrey was amazing today, which was only second to the meal!“

“Was looking for a breakfast place, let me tell to you, today we found a great hidden gem. The price was spot on, the portions were great! Staff was super nice and friendly!! Will definitely be back!!“

“I took my dad here for his birthday and for dinner before a concert. The staff greeted us kindly and took us straight to our table. We got drinks quickly, and our waitress was extremely professional and made awesome suggestions. This is one of my new favorite restaurants. The wood fired grills make the steaks taste amazing, and they've never overcooked them. The prices are also very reasonable for the high quality. I don't really go to steak houses, because I know I can make them better at home, but this place makes an amazing steak for a great price. I am taking the time to write a review because I genuinely thing this place is great!“

“fast friendly good food good prices it's a 10 + in my book“

“We have been to MaineTowne several times now and LOVE their food! Each time has been an amazing experience and they have the best staff! We love their food so much we also do pickup orders when we don’t have time to go for a sit down meal! Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I sat at the bar for a late lunch at 230pm. We asked to have one tv switched to Gox News to follow the on going war/conflict in the middle east. The server at the bar was quite accommodating and put the news on for us. We were the only patrons at the bar area and only people to be able to see the TV. The manager came over to tell us ,not ask us, that she was changing the channel because they strive for a more inclusive environment. Because of this we will never return to Northstar cafe.“

“Fantastic lunch menu and wonderful server (Amy).“

“The wait staff and food is consistently good.“

“Thank you so much for accommodating our large group of 12! Bucks is our FAVORITE Thursday night supper spot but we never considered hosting a family celebration there because of space and timing. The Bucks staff and owner made it all work, seating our party as they came, serving those of us who were early with appetizers, and AS ALWAYS, delicious food. The perfect atmosphere for our daughter’s birthday (who has been a Bucks fan for years).“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic service from our Server, Danielle and the whole team! I walked out, forgetting my leftovers on the table, but quickly ran back in to get it, but they had already bussed our table. The manager and Danielle were so sweet and accommodating. They made me another plate to take with me! superior customer service from a great restaurant with exceptionally great food.“

“Some friends and I who had not seen each other in many years met up at Cooper’s Hawk last night for dinner. We were treated so well in every aspect! They let us catch up for hours and our server answered our many questions about the menu and wine with patience and knowledge. Our food was delicious and the wine pairings were excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially our wonderful server, we had a wonderful evening!“

“Played music here over the weekend and I just can’t get over how incredibly neat this place is. Would be perfect for large parties, dinner with friends, or a date night. Also family friendly. Several of my friends came out and brought their small children. Met Heather in person as well as her husband and they were both so nice. Can’t wait to come back! 🤍“

“Best breakfast place in the area. Coffee is awesome and the service cannot be beat!“

“This location is the cleanest skyline I’ve ever been to. The employees are so friendly and accommodating. Great place !!“

“Great option for those with celiac. Love the dedicated chicken and fry option. Also love that many sweet treats are safe. Thank you for providing for us all, we love you guys!“

“Cleveland Brown's fans this is your hang out spot in Cincy. Ok beyond that, the food was very good, the selection was huge. Fast service and clean place. There is still outdoor seating to enjoy. We drove an hour to try it and brought the parents. No one was disappointed. Well except the Browns' fans. That was a tough lose to Detriot. But they had good food and cold drinks too console themselves with until next week. Highly recommended 👌“

“We loved the Beer Battered Fried Pickles, the Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings were awesome, and my daughter's jaw dropped when she saw the size of the Pretzel appetizer! Large portions and everything was great. Our server was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.“

“Went for ice cream this evening. We are new here and loving the drive through desserts. Cole took our order. Service was above and beyond from being served by Cole until we received our ice cream. The pupcup just top it off perfect!“

“Mockingbird's catered our event at the Windamere in September of 2023. Their food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and generous portions. The staff and their service were so good. We intend to use them again this year. You should too!!!!“

“We go to Bourbon's all the time. For the last 2 years it has been our go to dinner location when we want to eat out. Everything is delicious our favorites are the grippos and truffle Gouda burger with a worthy mention of their chicken tenders, but we haven't had anything that was bad. They also have amazing cocktails! We held our wedding rehearsal dinner here and they decorated the other side of the restaurant and had personalized menus. This is an amazing restaurant with amazing and caring staff! We've never had a bad experience! Bonus: their leftovers are just as good heated up in the air fryer!“

“Our favorite Friday night spot! We visit weekly and I am finally taking time to come here and write a review. Hands down the best service, food and atmosphere!

“Took my nephew there. I haven't been there in years. I hate to said it , but it was as good the first time 20 + years ago as it was tonight. Everyone had fun and a great meal. I would recommend this place to anyone. Good service and great owners. They really try to make you feel at home.“

“The best service ever!
Sebastián was hands down the best server we’ve ever had, super friendly, attentive, and made our visit unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious! My partner ordered a burger and it was incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked. I got the Taco Alderman bowl, flavorful and fresh, every bite was amazing. The dessert was spectacular and the margaritas… next level!

And a huge shout-out to Felipe, the manager, who was absolutely wonderful, so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’m submitting this because a staff member mentioned the owners actually review these, which I think is great. We live in the neighborhood and really enjoy the place - both the golf and dinner convenience for a family on the go. That said, several of us have asked about getting the Reds games (via the FanDuel Sports Network app) and have gotten a wide variety of lame excuses. For a restaurant in Cincinnati, not making that happen just feels like a missed opportunity—and frankly, a bit lazy.“

“First time going, definitely not the last time. Everything we had was delicious. It was like home cooking!!! Didn't have dessert, didn't have enough room for it. But the way everything tasted, I'm sure it would have been great too. A must go if you've never been.“

“For basic chicken tenders and fries it was delicious. Light attendance day so easy to find a wheelchair-accessible table, but most seating at the eating areas is benches. If unable to find an open accessible table, there are two seating spots with a lower counter at the new bar on the south side of this restaurant that are likely open. Wish the table area had better shade. None of the wheelchair spots were completely shaded.

Wheelchair accessibility: Several wheelchair-accessible tables.“

“Good food Great service Recommend“

“Went for the first time and had a blast really good service by my dude Tristan. And great food as well.“

“Friday 4/18/2025, 10 pm. A last minute decision to get a quick, late night bite to eat. The Greek Flatbread was delicious! The crust was perfect! And Shannon was, by far, a fantastic hostess! She knows the menu items and is efficient. She's very friendly, down to earth, and a great conversationalist! I highly recommend this place. Stop in soon to help the servers with their contest! When you mention your favorite server's name in a review, they might win. That means their GM, Rachelle Lee, will work their shift, plus the winning server gets to keep the money! 🙂“

“my husband and I first went here on a date night. we absolutely loved the atmosphere. we have returned twice since then, the last time we brought 3 friends with us and they loved it too. my favorite meal is the Baja fish tacos. I'm diabetic and these were a decent option for me. it's so fresh and light, plus the corn salsa on the side is amazing!! it's definitely a favorite date night dinner place.“

“Really great local shop serving hot, fresh food. The owner is super nice and the staff is very friendly! I love the roast beef the most“

“It's a karaoke bar, with a lovely Dj,but a very small dance floor. It took a couple of minutes before we could get our drink order through. There were just 2 bartenders, and they were quite busy. We requested food but was told it wasn't available. It could have been the timing, or they were just short of staff I really can't tell. My friends and I had a good time. It was a good vibe. But if we want to go dancing, we will be going somewhere else.“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and service. Our server was NyAsia and she did a great job.“

“First time at this Le Peep and I will be back. My husband and I are picky and McKenna didn't care and was laid back about my requests and had the cooks prepare everything to my specifications. I ordered an egg white omelet and changed it around quite a bit-she customized it perfectly and it tasted wonderful. We thouroughly enjoyed this breakfast, and the atmosphere is cute and inviting. The manager also was kind, customer focused and came around to the tables checking on how things were. 5 stars for this establishment and 5 stars for McKenna. She's a huge asset here!“

“Everything was top notch! The customer service was excellent (I had to bug them and they remained so sweet) and the portions were fantastic! I was nervous because I had heard the pork belly was dry, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were flavorful and juicy! My new favorite!“

“Great service by Brooke! We had a very nice buffet with family! Super busy so be kind to these folks! Remember that your kids are watching when you choose to be mean to staff. We loved our food and drinks. We chose the breakfast package for our family to save time and money.“

“I love the drink it was great great atmosphere nice people I'll be going again“

“Great bar and great service! Thanks from Indy!“

“Grecian Delight is a hidden gem in Middletown! Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or dinner, the food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Greek fries are a must-try—crispy, seasoned perfectly, and topped with just the right amount of feta. And don’t leave without trying the baklava—sweet, flaky, and the perfect way to end your meal. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like a warm, home-cooked experience. Highly recommend!“

“Quatman’s is the home of the best Cheeseburger - The team is friendly which makes it a great place!“
